Directory Application Archive (.dar files)

Penrose 2.0 introduces a new concept called Directory Application Archive (DAR). It mimics tomcat’s WAR/EAR files. We have a new directory structure and separate class loader for each partition. DAR files (files with a .dar extension) are intended to contain complete directory applications. In this context, an directory application is defined as a collection of drivers, custom modules, libraries, binaries, mapping, partitions and other supporting files such as images or ldif files. We included at least a dozen of these applications under /samples directory.
