OK. How about we do the freeze, tag it, then add David's
code, then do a release?

If we decide to add the new code under a separate node in the tree there

then I could see some additionally testing to be done.
IMHO we should go with checking this new function in a separate branch and
then work towards merging them into 1 single entity. In the meantime we
can freeze the existing branches
for use by Mark's team. I am not sure whether a release would be feasible
in this time frame.
It seems to me that post merging with the new code from David would be a
good time to propose a release.
What do you folks think?
Thanks

Re: Additional function for contribution
It does nothing to the compatibility with CIM-SPL. The closest thing to
any issue raised, might be the extended comment format that we use as a
header before each policy. These are standard SPL comments, but we embed
metadata (name, type, attributes, etc) in these comments and then use this
metadata for additional function. Here's an example (albeit a silly one),
//// {
//// "name" : "Policy A1",
//// "type" : "AUTHORIZATION",
//// "attributes" : {
//// "class" : "network adapter",
//// "expected-result" : "false"
//// }
//// }
Import Class java.lang.Integer:acl_integer;
Strategy Execute_All_Applicable;
Policy
{
Condition
{
acl_integer.intValue() == 5
}
Decision
{
acl_integer.intValue()
}
}:1;
As far as when this would be added, that's up to the community. If we'd
prefer to wait until after the release that is fine by me. Also, although
the code is pretty well junit tested and javadoc'd, I'm not sure we'd be
able to commit to a Feb 6 deadline.

Re: Additional function for contribution
I think this is interesting work. Would it affect the compatibility
with CIM-SPL?
Also, when are you planning to add it?
Should we do a release first, and then add this?
I'd like to set a date for a "code freeze" in order to have
something stable to release. Would anyone need more time than
a week from Friday?
If not, I would propose a code freeze date of February 6th.

What
do people think? If more information is needed, please let me know what
you'd like to see and how we can get this discussion going (if we don't
get a discussion going, I'm not sure it bodes too well for this
project).
Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Additional function for contribution
Hi David,
This looks good to me! I like the concept of having PEP and PDP. Looks
like the policy syntax
is unchanged here only the usage has changed.
I would be interested in what Reza and Mark have to say based on their
experience of using Imperius
and how much of an effort it would be for them to move to the new model
?
In any case I think this would be a great addition to Imperius.
Thanks
Neeraj

Additional function for contribution
Given the recent "activity" discussion, perhaps now is the time to
repropose some work we've done at IBM to layer additional functionality
on
top of what is already in Imperius. The attached is non-confidential
and
describes our work...
