Dain,
David is talking about how SessionManagers (effectively extended
SessionFactories) should be plumbed into Geronimo (i.e. GBeans),
not about the API's describing Sessions themselves.
I've looked at the stuff in modules/session - it looks very
similar to some WADI internals - there is loads of overlap here.
I have some serious plans for converging WADI with ActiveSpace
and would be happy to consider further changes to reuse or
contribute to your sessions module. We should talk.
I'll jot my ideas down and post them shortly.
How about just implementing the Session APi directly using WADI? :)
That's something that we could look at. I'd be interested to hear
you plans for actually integrating the sessions with some container
(web, ejb, etc...) as well - WADI is already doing this.
WADI is doing this for web only; the Session API is designed as a
client API to use for OpenEJB, Lingo, ServiceMix, Tuscany et al. i.e.
the containers would use the API directly.
err - wrong :-)
WADI already has various tier-independant abstractions and a partial
working OpenEJB integration )for SFSBs - Gianny Damour) and I am talking
to Rajith Attapattu about Sessions for a number of Web Service
transports. So, I think we need to figure out how to draw these two
divergent threads together. I will look more closely at your API and
consider how WADI might implement them.
Long-term, I intend for WADI to converge closely with ActiveSpace. Are
you intending to use this Session API with AS ? or do you have other plans ?
I will post a thread today detailing how I think WADI and ActiveSpace
might fit together...
Jules
Did you have a route in mind ?
See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk/modules/session/
src/java/org/apache/geronimo/session/package.html
