| <p><b>Principle:</b> We'll consider starting point naive end users who know nothing of | |
| servers, and they don't care, just want one installed installed so they | |
| can focus on their web development. We'll consider three levels: 1) User | |
| does near nothing, 2) user doesn't do much, but may have to provide some | |
| config values and/or import config values. 3) User has to provide many configvalues, and in the worst cases, actually write ant scripts. </p> | |
| <p><b>Principle:</b> In addition to "end user" use cases, | |
| we'll specify "client code" uses-case that may | |
| simply be specifiying details of function needed for end-user use cases, but | |
| will always have a unit test associated with it. Also, we'll specfiy "service provider" | |
| use cases which can be used to defind SPI's. </p> | |
