 Jexl is my own concoction to do what the JSTL EL does with extensions,

Ah! :-) Because I always used the JSP spec to guide me in the use of JEXL
expressions..

 Jelly uses Jexl, and Maven use Jelly, so there is some use :)

I'm just digging around for expression languages, and was wondering about
the differences (as they do look way similar)... Anyhow, I just opted to use

All other vendors are permitted, and all other vendors had to pay for their

no you can't, I believe they were just told please pay the fee exactly

 You can raise and discuss your concerns in public as soon as a public
 draft of the spec is available, and there are at least two public drafts
 before the spec is finalized; plenty of time to make sure the larger
 community is aware of, and agrees with, what's being suggested.
 
 The NDA in the JCP agreement only applies to confidential
 information. After a public draft has been published, the info it
 contains is no longer confidential.

As you are on the EG yourself, you know how hard it is to have one word
removed from the next revision of the spec once it gets in :-)

 The communication bonds twart collaboration which degrades innovation.

I am the official Apache representative for Servlet, and in my personal
experience it is quite difficult to voice some concerns I have on the
direction of the with the developer community of Jakarta, because, as you
said, I am not supposed to mention what goes on in the JSR lists in public
whilst over in Apache land I'm not supposed to keep something private.

 The JCP does not encourage innovative processes which Sun or
 the Spec lead might disagree with.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't... We have example swinging both
ways, the spec lead enforcing something on the JSR expert group, or in other
cases, the expert group driven by the community outside forcing something on
the spec lead...

Most of the times, in my experience, it all comes down to how receptive
the spec lead is in regards to new ideas coming from outside, and how much
weight he has in his company (the JSR sponsoring company)...

But my experience is too little to say what happens more often.

I think this is utterly wrong for an umbrella project like Jakarta. Being
PMC member in my little book of horrors come with quite a little bit of
responsibilities over _ALL_ projects managed by that PMC.

Now, under Jakarta, there might be projects on which one might like to be
involved and spend time on (therefore bearing the responsibilities of being
a PMC member over _that_ particular code base),  but there might be project
that one don't want to be even remotely associated with...

So, unless this:

 The PMC is responsible for the strategic direction and success of the Jakarta
 Project. This governing body is expected to ensure the project's welfare and
 guide its overall direction.

Found here http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html

Changes to identify that individual PMC members might have oversight only on
a fraction (subproject) of the whole project, I would be against it.

It's just a matter of roles and _responsibilities_...

 I would like to propose a new Jakarta project, named Pluto, that should
 provide the reference implementation of the JSR 168 Portlet Specification.
 
 Please see http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?PlutoProposal for
 more details (I've also attached the proposal below).
 
 Regards,
   Stefan

 Proposal for Pluto - A Jakarta Subproject
 
 
 21 January 2003, Stefan Hepper ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
 
 
 (0) rationale
 
 
 To enable interoperability between Portlets and Portals, IBM and SUN
 initiated the JSR 168. This JSR will define a set of APIs for Portal
 computing addressing the areas of aggregation, personalization,
 presentation and security. It will define Portlets, the Portlet container
 behavior, invocation of Portlets, Portlet services, a Portlet window, event
 model, and other relevant entities and interfaces. For more information see
 http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168.
 
 
 As part of this JSR a reference implementation of the portlet container,
 which is the run-time environment of the Portlets, will be created. This
 reference implementation will be based on the Tomcat subproject.
 
 
 There are two other projects at Jakarta, which could pick up the reference
 implementation of the portlet container to leverage that work. One is the
 JetSpeed? portal project and the other one is the Charon proposal.
 
 
 The portlet container will be build on top of the Servlet container and
 JetSpeed? can use this container in its particular portal implementation,
 other persons or companies also could pick up the portlet container
 reference implementation and use it for their products.
 
 
 Having Pluto done under Apache would also ensure that there is a tight
 communication between the developers of the Servlet container, the portlet
 container, the portal, and the WSRP implementation proposal Charon.
 
 
 (1) scope of the subproject
 
 
 The only purpose of this subproject is to create and maintain a reference
 implementation for the Java Portlet specification as defined in
 http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/168.jsp . The goal for the reference
 implementation is to create an independent portlet container that may be
 plugged into every possible driver, for instance JetSpeed?. This project
 will not create a new portal, but only a reference implementation of a
 portlet container.
 
 
 There is an agreement with JetSpeed? that the JetSpeed? will be based on
 this portlet container implementation.
 
 
 (2) identify the initial source from which the subproject is to be
 populated
 
 
 The JSR 168 Expert Group has a prototype based on Tomcat, which will be the
 starting point for the subproject. This prototype will be submitted to
 Jakarta after the first JSR 168 draft is made public available, which is
 currently scheduled for end of March.
 
 
 (3) identify the Jakarta resources to be created
 
 
 (3.1) mailing list(s) pluto-user pluto-dev
 
 
 (3.2) CVS repositories jakarta-pluto
 
 
 (3.3) Bugzilla
 
 
 (3.4) Jyve FAQ (when available)
 
 
 pluto-general
 
 
 (4) identify the initial set of committers

We're MOVING! :-)

2002-12-07 Thread Pier Fumagalli
A big thank you to Sun Microsystems which is upgrading our bandwidth for
Nagoya from 1.5 Mbps (T1) to something _MUCH_ bigger (as far as I was told,
though)...

We (well, actually Justina and her team) will have to move nagoya off to
another colo somewhere in california next week, so there will be an outage
on the Jakarta mailing lists around the 13th when the actual relocation will
be performed...

I have already checked all email configuration to be able to have a smooth
transition... Because of how DNS work, I'll start archiving all messages on
daedauls before the downtime (effectively using another queue), and then
relaying them off once the move is done to the actual IP address (to avoid
DNS latencies and stuff)...

MAYBE (but just _MAYBE_) I'll be able to move the BugZilla installation
across on another server in London for the time being (it is the one where I
replicate the DB every night, but as of yet, no bugzilla install on it), and
do some tricks with IP addresses and HTTP forwarding, but that's not
guaranteed as of yet (it depends on how much spare time I get on my hands
next week)...

Other than that, well, stuff should run smoothly after the move, apart from
the usual DNS latencies, but I already moved TTL and EXPIRE to 1 day, will
be to 1 hour the week of the actual move)...

That's all for now... Have fun, and keep your fingers crossed... You never
know what might go wrong! :-)

 Gmane uses a mail verification mechanism - they don't allow posting of
 any message until you confirm your email address ( for each group ). ( they
 send you a message after the first post, and if you reply then the post and
 all following posts will be allowed ).

On my setup, you actually have to subscribe to the allow list (only few

 Realize Apache is more like a confederation than anything.  So different

I don't quite understand on what you disagree... I remain in the position of
doubt, I agree completely that (quote) the Apache voting rules must be
adopted as a first step not later, as I always believed that our voting
system is the key, but Sam (your Jakarta PMC president) is saying:

 contributions such as these.
 
 So, in other words, you may very well get to be a guinee pig.  Whee!
 
 For a peek into the current status, see http://incubator.apache.org/

Now, this looks like a little bit contradictory to me, you say let's vote
(and I assume that the Jakarta community needs to vote), the Jakarta
president says let's make Incubator vote, and Tapestry be our guinea pig.

As I said, I'm not a part of this community (not a committer, not a PMC

from a little bit of distance, WHO needs to vote? Jakarta or Incubator?

I still keep my reasonable doubt that _right_now_ timing is not right, and
that certain issues about who and where need to be solved before Tapestry,
or any other project FWIW, can land in the Apache sphere...

 Is it true that Marc had asked to move JBoss over and that it was not
 accepted?

Question floats around from time to time... It always ends up in someone
being flamed badly and nothing happening...

The wishy-washy relationship started when, IIRC, when back in the days
(the first time we were told to join efforts) he called us something like
old ladies drinking tea, or some stuff like that...

 I guess I was not around during that time (if it ever was).  I had sensed
 (from monitoring the Jboss-users and dev lists early this year) that there
 was a bit of ill sentiment towards the 'Jakarta Love Train' ;)
 
 I had heard rumors, but never knew what to make of it until I asked him
 directly myself at a JBoss presentation at the local JUG meeting a few
 months back, and his response was something likenothing but a bunch of
 Sun guys there, but I couldn't make out exactly what he said.
 
 Is any of this true?  Was Jboss rejected from joining Apache?

It's not true... I believe that the ASF doesn't want to have JBoss on its
list of projects, and JBoss doesn't want to move along and join the ASF...
From time to time, someone happening to be in both communities at the same
time, thinks it might be a good idea to push for it, and does so...

But at the end, I believe that both communities are really divided and can't
be brought together... Both communities grew from the same seed, Java and
Open Source, but whilst one (Apache) has always been fond of its BSD roots
and moves along the lines, the Jboss one is actually more tied to GPL and
another vision of open source...

I think they both coexist happily in the world, but at the same time I don't
think any one of those should loose its credos to embrace the other
community way of doing things...

And plus, we're more polite, we don't call them nothing but a bunch of
Fleury's adepts there, or young kids drinking cocoa :-)

 No, Jboss was not rejected from Jakarta.  IIRC, they wanted to join and
 jakarta said 'can we digest what we have first?', and jboss said, 'no

 Or something like that :)

True, roughly, as well... The first time someone told about a merger it was
probably 2 weeks after Jakarta was born, and at that time (and as always),
we were covered in , between Sun not coming up with the license

Ok, I fucked up...

2002-10-22 Thread Pier Fumagalli
Whilst trying to help out to solve the situation of Daedalus being
overloaded (Greg Ames and I were trying to split the load from Daedalus onto
Nagoya), I _seriously_ screwed up Nagoya... I'm sorry...

I started off noticing that Nagoya was collapsing (or better, the network
was collapsing) when the traffic was roughly at 5 mbps, although the system
was doing just fine (load average 1.4 with GUMP running).

I figured out it was something to do with the interfaces, and therefore had
Justyna change some cables over in the lab, and after seeing that the
interfaces were still running at 10 mbps half-duplex (for some odd weirdness
that I still didn't understand), I forced them to be a 100 mbps full-duplex
(the switch supports it apparently)...

Well, that was the root of all problems... Forcing the interface at 100 mbps
made the whole network around Nagoya collapse (I suspect, then that the
switch is broken), including Nagoya's console...

Without access to the console, and with the network interfaces sending
random packets on the ethernet segment, the only possible solution was to
physically power-off the system and hope for a better chance of interfaces
auto-configuration at boot-up...

Once I had that done (thank Justy again), I had access to the console
(serial), but at the same time Nagoya didn't want to boot properly, it
wasn't seeing the SCSI/fiber-optics disk array...

That's where I noticed that I fucked up big time... Some times in the past
(like 6 months ago), I removed a bunch of Solaris packages as documented by
Sun Blueprints (Security through System Minimization), and since
everything was working, I never actually thought that something bad could
have happened...

Well, what happened was that although the Solaris kernel had still the
modules for the disk array in memory, well, those were not available anymore
on the disk, and therefore, major pain at the next reboot...

Now, I managed to restore the modules, reconfigure the system and have it
up-and-running once again, but at the same time I didn't fix the problem
afflicting the network...

Therefore, Nagoya is up and running as it was before, but it can't really
hold more than 10 mbps half-duplex traffic (therefore 5 mbps of real
bandwidth), because of some random stuff happening on the ethernet
segment...

I'm sorry if everything got really fucked up this afternoon, hopefully the
situation should get back to normal once the various queues on the different
mail systems get flushed...

Justy is going to file a request with Sun's hardware support to try and
figure out why out of the 155 mbps network we have available for Nagoya we
can use only 5 mbps (and why the switch and/or Nagoya's interfaces are
behaving so strangely), but in the meantime, if anyone has experience with a
3Com SuperStack II 1000 Switch and Sun HME interfaces please let me
know...

Really sorry about what happened, but I'm a moron and that's more than what
I need to say...

I agree wholeheartedly... We're planning to change our servlet container

of now I'm not a Tomcat user, and probably not even in the future).

The one we use ATM is good, but comes in binary only and had already to
decompile the classes TWO TIMES to figure out why some of our web
applications were failing. No fun.

On the other hand, I don't mind paying for a Servlet container which gives
me full access to the source... I have some problem on live, if I have the
sources, I can check it out and try to fix it... Having the sources is also
beneficial if I want to have a support contract with my container: if I see
a bug, they can tell me to modify and recompile the sources, apply some
patches, we can work together to solve it, instead of being a blind process
of receiving a jar file and putting it live...

More than being in CA, I would say, how many of us have been there and
did the Silicon Valley thing... I'm saying that because I spent 2 years in
CA, and feel strongly related to that environment... Only thing is now I
live in London (UK)...

 Hello all,
 
 A new mailing list on Jakarta was created today for the Commons
 HttpClient project.  You can subscribe to this list by sending email to:
 
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 This list is ment for *all* development traffic related to HttpClient,
 including: discussions, cvs commit messages, and bug reports.  No
 particular string is needed in the subject field when posting to this
 list.
 
 Any voting will still be held on the commons-dev list with at least
 [httpclient] in the subject line.
 
 No doubt that many of us will still monitor the commons-dev list, but
 all HttpClient traffic should be moved to the new httpclient-dev list.
 Please feel free to subscribe if you are interested, and don't forget to
 adjust your mail filters!
 
 PS: Thanks to Justyna Horwat at Sun for creating the new list.

I'll have to re-create the mailing list, since it wasn't created correctly,
and it doesn't get archived and stuff.. Everything should be transparent...

The message you tried to send was rejected. If you feel this is in error,
contact the postmater at the site you were mailing to.

If you are a postmaster and are getting double bounces in your mailbox

*Someone at a third site is trying to mailbomb/spam someone, using your

Check your mail logs for more info.

For the first two, hit your user with a clue-by-four. For the second, stop

Re: Issue tracking

On 26/9/02 3:04, Scott Eade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi,
 
 I am in the process of tidying up the issue tracking systems used by the
 turbine projects.  The biggest change is that we are predominantly going to
 use an instance of the turbine based Scarab issue tracking system (from
 tigris.org) that is installed at werken.com (Bob McWhirter's site on a box
 belonging to Bob and Jason van Zyl - thanks guys).  This instance was set up
 as it apparently proved difficult to gain the necessary access to maintain
 the Scarab instance at issues.apache.org/scarab.
 
 Bob has suggested that we set up an apache.org hostname for the box to make
 it easier if it becomes necessary to migrate to another system in the
 future.  I thought it would be a good idea to run this past the general
 Jakarta list prior to making a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 In summary here is what we want to do:
 
 1. Request the host name scarab.apache.org be set up to point to the same
 address as scarab.werken.com
 2. Update http://issues.apache.org/ to de-emphasise the
 issues.apache.org/scarab install (now used only by OJB) and to include a
 reference to the new scarab.apache.org instance (note that OBJ guys are
 being invited to migrate over to the maintained Scarab instance).
 3. Organize for bugzilla to no longer accept turbine issues.
 
 Please speak up if you have any comments or concerns about this.  It has
 been discussed on the turbine-dev list with no objections.

We already have a setup of Scarab on nagoya.apache.org, which of course is
_already_ has an alias as issues.apache.org

If you want to use scarab, use nagoya and update that installation, let's
not redo the whole thing again and again and again...

 As stated in the original message, it was deemed to difficult to obtain the
 necessary access to maintain the instance on nagoya.  As things currently
 stand we have the nagoya instance that is un-maintained with only one
 project using it and we have the up-to-date werken instance with one project
 actively using it (and four more that have agreed to) and two people
 committed to maintaining it.  The newer instance is hosted at a very ASF
 friendly location who are happy to provide their resources and the access
 necessary to maintain it.  Why not follow the path of least resistance?

Sorry, if you had troubles accessing Nagoya, it has been most definitely my
fault. The original idea to set up Scarab on Nagoya was that once some
projects had the confidence of the install, all other projects would have
moved as well, so, I still think that installing it on a central location is
a good idea...

If you, Jason and Bob want to maintain that instance, just let me know and
I'll grant appropriate karma, otherwise, I believe that at the end we'll
have 3 bug tracking systems: two on nagoya, and one wherever you guys want
to put it... :-/

 I made a request for access to nagoya so that I could take over
 maintenance of the scarab installation there.  I never heard back from
 you; I would/should have followed up, but Jason made the offer of the
 werken.com box so I took him up on it.

Sorry, never got it... Last requests I got were Ryan Bloom, Dirk-Willem van
Gulik and Bob Hermann (looking at my archives).

 I don't see a reason to keep two instances of scarab going.  No one is
 maintaining the one on nagoya.  And if the decision is going to be that
 it has to be on nagoya or else... I will work towards that as I see no
 reason to fight over it.  I like the werken.com setup of linux and a
 working up-to-date emacs installation, but hopefully nagoya at least has
 the later?

Emacs? I don¹t see the reason for a 25 megs editor on a server machine, but
hey, anyone has his wishes... If you need it I think it's going to take no
more than 5 minutes to recompile.
