----------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
my name is Alex and I'd like to work on this project for GSOC 2020.
I will commit a proposal for the project via the GSOC website.
Best regards!
> Implement lightweight CDI-centric HTTP server
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OWB-1319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-1319
> Project: OpenWebBeans
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Thomas Andraschko
> Assignee: Thomas Andraschko
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2020, mentor
>
> Apache OpenWebBeans is a IoC container implementing CDI specification.
> With the rise of Kubernetes and more generally the Cloud adoption, it becomes
> more and more key to be able to have fast, light and reliable servers.
> That ecosystem is mainly composed of Microprofile servers.
> However their stack is quite huge for most applications and OpenWebBeans
> Microprofile server are not CDI centric (Meecrowave and Tomee are Tomcat
> centric).
> This is why the need of a light HTTP server (likely Netty based), embeddable
> in CDI context (as a bean) comes.
> It will be close to a light embedded servlet container but likely more
> reactive in the way the server will need to scale.
> It must handle fixed size payload (with Content-Length header) but also
> chunking.
> File upload is an optional bonus.
> This task will require:
> 1. to implement a HTTP server with Netty (or alike),
> 2. define a light HTTP API (at least supporting filter like interception,
> even interceptor based but in a reactive fashion - CompletionStage),
> 3. make it configurable (Micorprofile config or so) and embedded.
> Once this light server is ready, the next step for a Java application to
> embrace the cloud is to make it native.
> This is generally done through GraalVM.
> Today OpenWebBeans proxy generation is not stable so making it native is not
> trivial.
> The end of the task will therefore be to implement a proxy SPI in
> OpenWebBeans enabling to have pre-generated proxies and reload them at
> runtime (per bean).
> The delivery of this task can be a Runnable (with a companion main(String[])).
>
> You should know:
> • Java
> • HTTP
