Hello!
I'm just getting back into the service-cache project, and looking at
some of my old code, I think that my approach there is completely
wrong. I'd like to completely start over. I'm thinking of something
that uses the geronimo kernel, and we write "Services" (really GBeans)
and have that serve as our plugin/lifecycle management architecture.
This also allows us to deploy components as part of a running J2EE
server. My goals right now are:
* Complete administration of a Geronimo Server (deployment of J2EE apps,
services, and management of their lifecycles)
* Creating of (non)geronimo-specific configuration files easily (like
.war files, geronimo-service files, etc.)
* Complete remote management via JSR 160 (remote JMX) as well as other
interfaces (think SOAP/JAXRPC) over secure channels with JAAS.
* Rich "thick" client - a.k.a swing.
* Rich web client (build on top of what the web console already is
* Extensible/Plugin architecture
* Easy adaptation of our management client to other servers (yes, it may
be part of the Geronimo Project, but it would be great if an admin could
use the same tools on JRun4, Weblogic, Oracle, JBoss, etc.
Security is of paramount concern to me. A secure client on this end
enables us to pursue many more paths than a non-secure client. It also
helps enable Geronimo to being certified as a secure server in addition to
J2EE certification.
These are just ideas, and I'm going to use much of this weekend to sort of
block out some of the coding. I'd like to have a (very) modest prototype
in one to two weeks. Please let me know any ideas/critiques/comments you
have! I'm not by any means an industry expert, and have only been dealing
with J2EE for about 1.5 years now.

You can find me as MattK10 on #geronimo (irc.freenode.net).
A question to everyone: are we (random independenant people) allowed to
release code under the "Apache License" if we are not part of the ASF, or
must we releast it under something like the BSD license?
Thanks,
Matt Kurjanowicz
