As for where it should be placed ASF-wise, I am thinking that it would
be best to place it as part of Geronimo initially, because it is a good
thing to have a concrete project [the appserver] to drive the
requirements. Also, the featureset required to do Java EE is somewhat
less than the full CORBA spec (for instance, we have no
interface/implementation repository, and no IDL compiler).
Let me start by thanking you for wanting to contribute code to the
project. This is awesome.
Relative to the statement above, is there a reason you want the ORB
directly in the Geronimo project? I can see this orb being an important
project in its own right and can have many uses beyond Geronimo. If not
as its own ASF project, dare I say the possibility of a sub-project
<flame suit on ;-)>? I really think an orb is big enough, and important
enough to be its own living/breathing project.
Perhaps this is something to bring up now...
Is there a thought on a Geronimo "holding project"? We will likely
encounter more chunks of code that can and should live on thier own.
Since webservices has "ws" and database has "db", what about an "as" for
application server and components? I think this is something we really
need to consider since we will be growing components fairly regularly.
I think this is great for the community as well.
Thoughts?
