Matt, et al. Thanks for getting this rolling...
I don't really have that much to say about the 1.1.1 release since I have been putting most of my effort into the new 1.2 branch. However, I do have a question... I have noticed there is a 1.1 branch and a 1.1.0 tag. Can you explain the difference? Regarding 1.2, Piyush and myself have a short laundry list of things we have opened and would like to see go in. Here is the run down... - DT-14 - Include sql scripts in ear - DT-17 - Dojo-based interface for Daytrader - DT-19 - Fix various HTML syntax issues and remove un-needed import statements - DT-24 - Clean up plan files in 1.2 branch - DT-25 - Update decimal precision and indexes in ddl - DT-26 - Cannot switch between EJB mode and Session Direct mode Piyush has also made some additional updates to DT-22 (which was previously closed) that deserve some additional consideration. In addition to these items, here are a few other things I've been toying with and would like some feedback on... - Removing Async 1-phase mode (per comments in DT-22) - Removing TradeSoapProxy (not needed by the WS app client) - Updating README and other docs I think that covers most of it, but I'm sure I could come up with more. ;-) Now for Daytrader 2.0 (trunk). Although we targeted most of the above items for Daytrader 1.2, I don't see any reason to keep these out of Daytrader 2.0as well. Thoughts??? I like the idea of gearing the 2.0 release towards JPA, etc. and creating a new rev once we have full EE5 support. On this thread, I have two concerns... - Decoupling and multiple-backend support - Last week I opened DT-23 to address this issue and provided some suggestions on how we could re-org Daytrader to better support multiple backends. Would like to get your feedback on this. - Versioning strategy - As things stand, the versioning strategy for Daytrader seems fairly random and skipping from 2 to 5 might be confusing unless of course we choose to start linking the version level to something concrete (like a Geronimo release or the EE spec level). All for now... let me know what you think. Chris On 11/16/06, Matt Hogstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Chris, David, et all, I'm noodling through DayTrader and where we're driving too. I'd like to discuss requirements for upcoming releases and get some agreement on what's coming. Currently we have DayTrader 1.1.1 which is in branches and needs to be released. It is basically 1.1 with a stmt cache bug fix included. We'll also have to scrub it for the new release guidelines. Anything I'm missing? I'll plan on getting something for a release vote after Thanksgiving. For branches/1.2 I'd like to solicit JIRAs that need to go here. I think this is a J2EE 1.4 release with no real enhancements to the programming model but with a very cool looking AJAX fron end ... thanks Chris. We should probably include the new scripts provided by Piyush that creates the tables as well. Anything else? trunk (2.0) is really an interim release I think that includes the new JPA support as well as other Java EE 5.0 functionality. It would be nice to have something that coincides with the Geronimo 1.2 release to show off the new functionality there and perhaps provide the basis of another perofrmance comparison. Perhaps we would then rev DT to a 5.0 version for full EE 5.0 functionality. Thoughts, comments, criticisms? Matt Hogstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
