OK..
I am done with Castor (the XML marshaling infrastructure in Jetsped)...
please vote:
- Castor breaks *everytime* we upgrade it!
- Castor is *very* rigid in building APIs. We can't customize this!
- Castor builds the marshaling infrastructure *into* the generated
objects... thus we can *not* use these within the Jetspeed core :(
- Castor does not have any forced naming convention... IE a <url>
element has the method getUrl() and not getURL().
Of course we need an alternative. I propose XJay
(http://xjay.sourceforge.net). It should fix the above problems. In
order to parse the XML I am going to use the XML parsing and object
populator that comes with Ant. XJay is already used within Jetspeed and
provides our peers... I just want it to provide everything but be very
clean/fast/flexible/solid.
I am also going to propose to the PMC that XJay gets adopted by
xml.apache.org. It is only a 1 day job to add this stuff.
... of course I am not going to commit to a timeframe... I just want the
approval to go ahead and remove Castor when I am ready.
