Future directions of Jetspeed/Turbine

[Serge Huber]

Hi all, We (my company) are currently evaluating JetSpeed, its weaknesses and strengths and I just have a few questions about future directions. 1) How do you see a more complete integration with the XML.apache.org framework? I remember reading in the todo list that XML integration was pretty high in the list of priorities and I was wondering what the new ideas on this are. Is this going to be done via a rewriting of the ECS code into using XML elements ? Or is it more interesting to do DOM creation directly ? 2) A lot of java web applications interact with EJBs. Are there any plans to integrate this into the framework (Turbine) ? Is there a possibility to integrate jonAs or another EJB open source container ? 3) In terms of user authentification, what about using something like JAAS to allow maximum flexibility of interfacing with login systems ? Maybe this could help the wap integration or other future systems (such as logging in via retinal scans into Jetspeed :)) Anyway, just a few thoughts, and to say that we would of course be interested in contributing ideas and code to the project in the next few weeks. Cheers,     Serge Huber. ******************************************* Xo3 SA Serge Huber 261, rte de St-Julien 1258 Perly - Geneva (CH) http://www.xo3.com
