I resurrected the Mobile StadtPlan application. I died due to account lose on a powerful server and the the replacement of iceberry...
It's not back online based on Java 6.0, MySql, AutoTrace and Spring.
If anybody wants to continue working on it, please feel free to contact me. Most important: get a SourceForge project for it and start talking to Stadt Wien again to obtain vector graphics instead of the images.
environment .Net Project, Team Foundation Server, MSBuild
problem Nightly Build containing multiple configurations (e.g. debug, release,...) and the requirement to install a database before the testcases are executed. It is not enough to install the database once for all configurations.
Initial we overwrote the BeforeTest target, but this is getting called only once for all configurations.
solution
Edit TFSBuild.proj
<!-- copied from C:\\Program Files\\MSBuild\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\v8.0\\TeamBuild\\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets -->
<Target Name="CoreTest"
DependsOnTargets="$(CoreTestDependsOn)" >
<MakeDir
Directories="$(TestResultsRoot)"
Condition="!Exists('$(TestResultsRoot)')" />
<MSBuild
Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)"
Targets="RunTestWithConfigurationWithDB"
Properties="BuildNumber=$(BuildNumber);Platform=%(ConfigurationToBuild.PlatformToBuild);Flavor=%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild);IsDesktopBuild=$(IsDesktopBuild)" />
</Target>
<Target Name="RunTestWithConfigurationWithDB" >
<!-- Make sure the Database is freshly setup for each FlavorToBuild -->
<!-- Database Setup -->

references Search for 'How To: Batch Tasks with Item Metadata' in MSDN. This gave me a good idea when targets are called multiple times and when not.
environment .Net calling a SOAP service exposed by Java/JBoss via a svcutil generated proxy using HttpBasicBinding
problem bad performance
solution Make sure you don't create the proxy everytime you invoke the service. Caching in a static member seems appropriate, but I'm unsure if you need recreate the proxy object in case of an error
comparision if you invoke a WCF with a similar wsdl, at least for us, it didn't make any difference in performance
