-Subject: State of the Project
-From: Dain Sundstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-To: [email protected]
-Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-
-The first month of our project has seen a deluge of volunteers, email
-and code. Indeed, for the first few days we had so many volunteers
-that it was almost impossible to keep up with the influx. Many of the
-initial volunteers stuck around and are actively participating. The
-email volume of the last month is shocking. We have had over three
-thousand messages on the list, and for the first few days we were
-getting hundreds of emails a day. The volume has settled down to a
-much more manageable level, and the discussions have improved as a
-result. It has been amazing to see the small code seed we started with
-grow into a two and a half megabyte source bundle. Even with this
-massive growth, the code base has remained stable (the build has only
-been broken a few times).
-
-Given these signs, we declare the state of the project to be healthy
-and vibrant.
-
-The momentum of the project is huge, and it appears we have reached the
-critical mass required for a success. However, we have some challenges
-to overcome. One of these is the nature of discussions on the mailing
-list - we have had many bike shed type discussions thrashing minute
-details to death but choking out larger topics. In some cases, this
-has resulted in contributors collaborating offline and major changes
-happening with little public discussion. This issue is gradually
-working itself out, but we all need to be aware of this tendency and
-work to keep discussions on the list more focused.
-
-Another challenge facing us is how to grow the committer base. There
-is some perception of a cathedral clique of insiders, whereas in
-reality, many of the project management issues have arisen because the
-current committers are not used to working together and are new to the
-Apache Way. With the initial startup phase behind us, we will be
-looking to expand the project rapidly over the next couple of months.
-
-
-
-Geronimo is a complex project with many collaborating subsystems and
-significant progress has been made in many areas.
-
-BUILD SYSTEM
-Our build system came together surprisingly quickly. We have support
-for multiple modules and an amazing auto-generated web site from maven.
- Jason Dillon is currently working out the structure of our final
-build, and Dain Sundstrom and David Blevins will be setting up an
-integration testing system next week.
-
-SPECIFICATION APIs
-Some of the least exciting but most critical work has been the
-provision of unencumbered versions of the specification APIs. Credit
-goes to Maas van den Berg and Aaron Mulder for much of this work, with
-a special mention of Alex Blewitt for diligently building out the
-JavaMail API which contains substantial concrete implementation.
-
-SERVICE FOUNDATION
-Using JMX as a kernel technology has facilitated the manageability of
-the system. A GeronimoMBean has been added, intended to be the basis
-for other services in Geronimo. This MBean provides support for
-multiple managed objects and implements the managed object, state
-manageable and event provider interfaces from the J2EE Management
-specification. Dain Sundstrom will be adding persistence capability,
-allowing the server configuration to be preserved between restarts.
-
-CONSOLE
-A console subsystem is in progress with web and command-line based
-interfaces under development by N. Alex Rupp and Matt Kurjanowicz.
-There are also plans for a GUI console once a common structure has been
-determined.
-
-DEPLOYMENT
-A common deployment architecture has been defined, supporting local and
-remote modules, dependencies between deployed components, and pluggable
-deployment strategies. Currently deployment is provided for service
-archives containing MBeans; support will be added soon for Web, EJB and
-Connector modules. Scanners have been implemented for both local and
-remote (WebDAV) filesystems.
-
-REMOTING
-Hiram Chirino has implemented a remoting framework for routing
-invocation requests both within and between VMs, freeing containers
-from the need to handle wire protocols and failover. The current code
-supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication and is built
-on NIO. Future work will add IIOP support using the simple RMI/IIOP
-ORB, allowing us to meet the requirements of the J2EE specification.
-
-METADATA
-We have defined a format for Geronimo-specific deployment descriptors
-and have added a basic object model for representing them in memory. A
-simple loader is in place based on Xerces and DOM, and investigation is
-proceeding into more effective XML binding based on the XMLBeans
-project. Aaron Mulder has been responsible for much of the initial
-implementation, and he is continuing work on J2EE Deployment (JSR 88)
-and Validation.
-
-CLIENT CONTAINER
-Jeremy Boynes has implemented an Application Client Container as a
-starting point for enterprise container functionality. This includes a
-simple implementation of the java:comp Environment Naming Context with
-support for env-entry and ejb-ref elements. Basic interoperability
-with external J2EE servers has been tested and full support will come
-with the introduction of IIOP remoting.
-
-SECURITY
-A start has been made on security by David Blevins and Alan Cabrera in
-the form of a JACC (JSR 115) implementation which, combined with JAAS,
-will provide a pluggable authentication and authorization framework.
-
-
-With many of the basic services now in place, we expect to start work
-soon on the EJB containers and hopefully will have Session and BMP
-Entity support available within the next month.
-
-In other areas, co-ordination has started with the OpenJMS and LDAPd
-projects to facilitate the integration of technology, and discussion
-has started with ObjectWeb to allow the sharing of technology between
-the two projects.
-
-This has been a phenomenal first month in which huge progress has been
-made. Much of the technical groundwork has now been laid and we can
-look forward to the challenges of the EJB and Connector subsystems.
