RE: question on XML namespace names

2004-08-02 Thread Anne Thomas Manes
The URI in a namespace declaration is simply a name. It isn't required to
point to anything, and you should never expect that the URI is resolvable.
But quite often it does resolve -- typically to a metadata document, such as
XSD, DTD, WSDL, etc.

Is anyone on this listserv using namespace names to retrieve W3C .xsd or
.dtd documents?

To be more specific,  if you are using fully qualified names for XML
namespaces as the standard seems to recommend, what kind of object lives at
the specified address:  (A)  nothing  (B)  html documentatation (C) W3C .xsd
or .dtd document  (D) other (please specify)

RE: Namespaces inherited?

2003-03-13 Thread Anne Thomas Manes
Tim,

In the first example:

 ns:elemA xmlns:ns=urn:myNS
   elemB/ !-- this elem would implicitly be in the 'ns' namespace --
 /ns:elemA

ElemB is either unqualified or it is qualified by the default namespace (the
xmlns=some-uri declaration, if there is one). There's no assumption that
it belongs to its parent's namespace.

Namespace *declarations* are inherited. In other words, you don't have to
redeclare your namespaces for each child element. So, for example:

elemA   !-- this elem is in the default namespace --
   xmlns=urn:myNS
   xmlns:joe=urn:joeNS
   xmlns:fred=urn:fredNS
   elemB  !-- this elem is in the default namespace --
 joe:elemB/  !-- this elem is in the joe namespace --
 fred:elemB/  !-- this elem is in the fred namespace --
   /elemB
/elemA

If you couldn't inherit namespace declarations then you would need to do
this:

elemA xmlns=urn:myNS
   elemB xmlns=urn:myNS
 elemB xmlns=urn:joeNS/
 elemB xmlns=urn:fredNS/
   /elemB
/elemA

 Subject: Namespaces inherited?


 Hello,

 I read that child elements inherit the namespace of their
 parent by default (Professional Java SOAP, p30, Wrox Press).
 The W3C spec says that they're in scope for all children. But
 that's not the same as inheriting. To my understanding,
 inheriting would mean that the children automatically become
 members of the parent's namespace unless explicitly overridden
 while in scope means that the namespace is merely *available*
 to the children.

 According to the book, the following examples are semantically equivalent:

 ns:elemA xmlns:ns=urn:myNS
   elemB/ !-- this elem would implicitly be in the 'ns' namespace --
 /ns:elemA

 ns:elemA xmlns:ns=urn:myNS
   ns:elemB/
 /ns:elemA

 I don't think this is correct but I would like to hear from more
 knowledgable sources. The behavior of the Xerces implementation
 of DOM does not conform to the above.

RE: [POLL] WASP Lite on Apache?

2001-12-18 Thread Anne Thomas Manes

Dims,

We moved the discussion to axis-dev. There's a fair amount of work that we'd
need to do to clean up our code before we submit it to Apache, so before we
do this work we want to ensure that our code will be useful to you. We
talked about the possibilities of merging Axis and WASP, but considering the
differences in architecture, merger appears to be very challenging.

We've just released a new version of our C++ implementation, which we've
also offered to submit to Apache. Both implementations are based on the same
architecture. Our C++ implementation is already open source, so we've
requested that the Axis team look at this code before we proceed further. We
haven't heard much discussion since then.

Regards,
Anne

[POLL] WASP Lite on Apache?

2001-11-16 Thread Anne Thomas Manes

Background:

WASP Lite for Java is a Web services framework developed by Systinet that
supports SOAP 1.1, WSDL 1.1, and XML Schema 1999/2000/2001. Details,
including binaries and documentation, can be found at
http://www.systinet.com/products/wasp_lite/index.html.

The product is currently distributed under a free commercial binary license.
It has a large user base, many of whom have requested that we make the
source available. A number of companies and individuals have expressed
interest in contributing to the development of this code.

The code has been developed using a modular approach, which should make it
relatively easy for others to get comfortable with the code, and which
should allow easy sharing of code with the SOAP and Axis projects.

We would like to submit this proposal to the members of the Apache XML
project for consideration of accepting this donation as a sub-project.

Thank you very much for your attention to and consideration for this
proposal.

We look foward to your questions, comments, or concerns.

RE: [POLL] WASP Lite on Apache?

2001-11-14 Thread Anne Thomas Manes

Stefano,

Sorry that I have't responded to the discussion -- I've been on a plane all
day.

Before initiating this poll, I discussed it with Sam. I first suggested
submitting WASP to Axis. Sam suggested that we set it up as a separate
project. But we're happy to abide by the community's decision.

As Sam said, Axis supports JAX/RPC. WASP supports JAXM. WASP also supports
pluggable transports, pluggable XML protocols, pluggable header processing,
pluggable encoding, and pluggable serializers. I saw a recent note from
James Snell saying that he was making a fairly significant architecture
change to Axis to support pluggable transports. I think there will be lots
of opportunity to steal/merge code across the two code bases. I just don't
want there to be a huge disruption in Axis to make it happen.

Regards,
Anne

  I'm pleased that you think it's a good thing.

 To clarify: I was commenting Sam's note on I am looking forward
 to increased synergy and participation.

 Increased synergy is what I believe it's a good thing.

 Whether or not making WASP Lite an apache subproject, *this* is yet to
 be clarified to my eyes.

 Just to make sure that everybody understands this distinction: synergy
 *automatically* generates better communities. Competing projects,
 normally, do not.

 So to be crystal clear:

  synergy - good thing
  competing subprojects - not so sure

  We first thought of submitting WASP Lite to Axis, but after
 consideration
  determined that this approach would be too disruptive and technically
  challenging.

 Who considered that? you or the axis community?

  WASP Lite is a complete code base, and it would be very
  difficult to attempt to merge this code base with the Axis code base.

 Oh, believe me, you'd be surprised on how creative people can become if
 they are really interested in something.

  Any
  merger attempt would significantly delay both projects. We don't want to
  disrupt the Axis project.

 We share the same concerns though. Let us understand whether or not the
 move you propose goes in this direction or not.

  At the same time we think that the open source community will definitely
  benefit from WASP Lite.

 Oh, I don't question that. If Sam says so, I trust his technical
 judgement.

 But you didn't state

  We think that a separate project is the better way to go.

 I thank you very much for your suggestion and will be taken into very
 high consideration, but please keep in mind that it's up to the apache
 communities to decide what to do with donated code.

 If you decide to donate it in order to communities to benefit, it should
 not be your concern where the code ends up living, but should be the
 community's itself.

  Over time Axis and WASP Lite are likely to share code. Perhaps the
  projects might eventually converge.

  This wouldn't be the first time we've had competing projects at Apache
  (Crimson/Xerces/Xerces2 comes to mind).

 Exactly. We got burned big time by the politics involved in this very
 example and we DO NOT want this to happen again since we wouldn't have
 the energy to do this over again.

 It is exactly because of this example that I'm seriously concerned about
 having competing subprojects.

 Note: we have rules that allow committers of one project to propose an
 internal fork of the subproject itself, then is the community to
 decide what to do, but this doesn't separate them.

 If some of your guys are already committers of Axis and you think your
 solution is better from a technical perspective, then why don't you
 propose an internal fork with a new codename and work from there?

  I think it just goes to show that
  the community is very interested in the technology.

 Sorry, I can't follow you.

 I asked explicitly for overlap analysis in order to understand why you
 propose a different subproject but I didn't get that answer.

 Now, if you care about the interest of the community is should not
 matter where the code ends up living or what name it will end up having.
 Right?

 If you are so concerned about the name and the location, it only goes to
 show me that you are more interested in its location and its visibility
 than to the community interests.

 But I sincerely hope you can prove me wrong.

 So, let's get to the point: I'm personally against having two competing
 subprojects for no technical reason, no matter what they do. Technical
 competition should happen inside an existing community, following the
 Rules for revolutionaries.

 So, either somebody explains those technical reasons in detail (and
 convices me of the value of having two competing communities), or my
 vote remains a +1 on the acceptance of the code donation, but as a -1 on
 the creation of a new subproject.

 This is indeed a good thing.

 Now, a technical question: we already have two projects which have a
 pretty high overlap (SOAP and Axis). Why do we need another one? Can't
 this WASP lite be donated as directly to Axis instead of creating yet
 another project on webservices?

 I admit my total ignorance on the problems and this is why I'm asking
 without stating a vote, but it looks to me that we don't need more
 subprojects for web services and if this was the case, I would like to
 treat them as internal competing branches, rather than external
 subprojects.

 So, please, enlighten me.

 Thanks.

 Background:

UDDI4J is an existing Open Source project, hosted on IBM DeveloperWorks
and under the IBM Public License.  Details, including source code, can
be found at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/uddi4j.
More information on the specification which this code implements can be
found at http://www.uddi.org/.

Another company has approached IBM and expressed an interest in
contributing, but expressed reservations based on where it was hosted,
and requested that we consider transferring it to a neutral location.

As this code complements and works closely with Apache SOAP and Axis,
Apache seemed like a natural fit.  This other company readily agreed.

Approximately six active developers are associated with this project at
this time.  We expect this number would increase should it be accepted
as an Apache XML subproject.

 General Approach:

Java package names would be renamed to org.apache.uddi.

All Java source files will contain headers based on the ones found in
the Apache SOAP package (essentially the Apache license)

The cvs repository, mailing list, and the web site will be hosted on
apache.org
