Hi guys,
the first part is now done : all the SchemaObjects have been
refactored. The Registries have been moved to shared, too.
The next part has started : Alex is replacing the JDBM based schema
by a LDIF based schema. Two new subprojects have been created for
this purpose :
- apacheds-schema-data
- apacheds-schema-loader
This is just a small step in the right direction. The next big
modification will be to load the registries with the schema we have
on disk. That means using the LDIF partition which has been a work-
in-progress since march, then removing the schema bootstrap classes,
and make the server happy.
Last, not least, a lot of work will be needed to correctly handle
the schema modifciations through the LDAP protocol.
Hopefully, all that can be completed in the next few days. This will
be a new server :)
I would suggest that no commit is done in trunk atm, as the branch
will really be different from trunk. In fact, it's a bigbang 2.0 ;)
The big advantage we will gain from such a move is that we will have
a text based schema backend, we will be able to use the
LDIFPartition for the configuration in DIT, and many bugs related to
schema will be fixed at the same time. And no more DBFILES !
Keep tuned !
