CALL FOR: New MMBase package: org.mmbase.storage and org.mmbase.storage.database
This package will contain the new storage classes, which are planned to replace (when proven suitable) the original databse support classes. To prevent confusion, and also to work towards a more clearer package structure, the classes need be moved to a separte package. This change is part of the Cleaning project, but since it impacts on the MMBase package structure and will influence the configuration needs for those who already use these classses, a vote is called. org.mmbase.storage will contain the main Storage and Transaction interfaces org.mmbase.storage.database will contain the interfaces and implementations for storage in generic databases (OO and relational) For specific database implementations, we might concider: org.mmbase.storage.database.<type> packages, i.e. org.mmbase.storage.database.informix This is not part of the vote right now but I value your opinion during this vote (to anticipate future polls).

All commitors have an obligation to vote - if you have no opinion, vote ABSTAIN. Do not quote this entire post. This is a Majority call. A majority call is determined by tallying the positive votes and subtracting the negative votes and comparing the result with the margin of the call. Unless specified otherwise, majority calls have a margin of three votes. This means that for the vote to succeed, the positive votes need to outrank the negative votes by three votes. If this margin is not made, or if someone casts a VETO, the vote fails. If the vote fails because the margin was not made and not everyone had voted in time, the call may be extended. -- Pierre van Rooden Mediapark, C 107 tel. +31 (0)35 6772815 "So long, and thanks for all the fish"
