Rajith Attapattu updated QPID-2629:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: Java Client
(was: C++ Client)
Changed the component to "java client" - Thx Emmanuel for spotting it.
I would assume it's probably ok to rename the package name from "commons" to
"qpid".
> Remove Java client dependency on commons-collection.jar

>
> The JMS client has only a single dependency on the commons-collection.jar.
> It is using the RefereneMap in the message delegates to store the destination
> cache.
> It would be nice if we could use an alternative instead of having yet another
> dependency.
> For a client application it's really a big plus point to have as less
> dependencies as possible
> (Pls note that for the broker module, commons-collection is a transitive
> dependency, so we can't just remove it from our lib folder).
> But that is fine as it's only a compile time dependency should anybody wish
> to build the client from source.
> But for runtime we could definitely get rid of it to keep the size small.
> Possible strategies.
> 1. Replace the ReferenceMap with a suitable implementation. I don't think
> WeakHashMap as suggested on a thread is the right solution either.
> We currently use the ref map with hard refs for keys and soft refs for
> values.
> 2. We could just include the necessary files (just 4 actually) in the clients
> source dir. - This is perfectly legal as per the ASF license this is allowed.
> This also seems like a very good short term solution.
