Hi, I'm also +1 on this move - it makes things modular and easy to handle. BTW I don't think you need to move the integration tests - they are *Axis2* integration tests and they should not go to any other project! Of course the rampart module will be external after the change but that does not mean that the integration tests have to be too :) I would also like to draw your attention to the structure of the projects as well. If you look at the current project structure almost all the projects that are under the ws project space are mostly independent of each other [1]. For example WSS4J,Woden (which is really incubated) and other tit bits in ws-commons. It is true that there are projects that are explicitly focused on adding support to other projects (like Kandula and Sandesha) but what I feel is that since Savan and rampart are going to be very Axis2 specific, they would not fit as immediate children of the ws project space. To me it makes good sense to have a sub project called Axis2-modules (whatever the name you guys prefer. I don't want it to be another naming war :)) and have savan and rampart under that - just like what we have in ws-commons right now.
do I make any sense ? Ajith [1] http://ws.apache.org/#Project+List On 8/31/06, Eran Chinthaka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Another big +1 from me too. I was really worried about the increasing number of modules within Axis2 project, but didn't take this up as people were busy with other important issues. I'd like to add two more things to Ruchith's proposal. 1. Move Savan also to a sub-project out of Axis2 2. Write some integration tests in Axis2 to compensate the valuable tests Ruchith had written to test the integrity of Axis2 client and server. Whenever you do some random changes in Axis2, security tests were failing as they were the only tests which tested the real integration. Since these tests also will be moved with Rahas and Rampart, we need to have some tests to compensate them 3. Need to have a gump like thingy setup to run all the tests in Axis2 and related projects and to bug whoever breaks the total build. Any volunteers? -- Chinthaka Sanjiva Weerawarana wrote: > On Thu, 2006-08-31 at 20:28 +0530, Ruchith Fernando wrote: >> Basically how about pushing these up to be two new sub projects or the >> Apache Web services project : >> >> Ramaprt - WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation implementation >> Rahas - WS-Trust implementation >> >> This is similar to the way we have Sandesha (WS-RM impl), and they >> will have their own release cycles etc. ? > > Big +1 from me.
