Just to throw an idea out there, how about using the Servlet API? ie) 
defining the equivalent of javax.servlet.ftp etc etc?
This is exactly what jftp4i does. The only difference is that the Servlets 
are called FTPActions. I'm not actually using the javax.servlet.Servlet 
specification, but the idea is basically the same. Maybe we can improve in 
this direction, but as you know, the FTP protocol is a little more complex 
in terms of commands, than the HTTP protocol. So, we must define where to 
merge a doPut, or doGet, etc. into a FTP request/response in the 
framework.

I think that the best way is to use the idea, not specifically the Servlet 
API, but we are open to discussion.

tks, []s,
João

The FtpServer project went inactive for a while, but is now active again.

 Hello, my name is João, i'm a Brazillian Java developer. 

hi João

 In this email i will describe the general proposal for my project, the
 JFTP4I (Java FTP for Integration). My intentions are basically to put
 my project inside the Jakarta/Apache umbrella. 

the way these things are done now is through the incubator
http://incubator.apache.org/. please take some time to read the
documentation on the site. 

i don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but i'd like to offer a realistic
assessment of some of the obstacles you may find upon your way...

jakarta's been self consciously shrinking over the last few years (it's
just too big and too complex) with a lot of old sub-projects graduating
to lop level status. it's more difficult now to persuade people that new
sub-projects should be accepted. (of course, this doesn't mean that
JFTP4I couldn't aim for top level or for a sub-project of another
project)

there's quite a deal of ceremony associated with incubation now: it
requires time, dedication and effort to succeed (up and beyond creating
a successful open source project). the aim of incubation is to try to
help the new project to learn apache ways and adopt systems which we
believe lead to healthy long term projects but the process is still
evolution and there are some rough edges left still...

Yeah, i saw. I'm just a little confuse about how to find the right 
Champion to help me with the right sponsor :-P.

Anyway tks for the guidelines.

João

 For that i give you a detailed description of my project. 
 
 Project Description: 
 
 The JFTP4I is a new idea for the concept of using FTP for integration
 purposes. Here in Brasil (and i think very much in the rest of the
 world), all the legacy systems are basically using FTP as a way of
 integrating different platforms running under TCP/IP.

i wouldn't have thought associated dynamic applications with ftp but now
you pointed it out, it can see why a project like this makes sense :) 

snip

 The project has already started (exists), and is hosted in the
 sourceforge.net. I have 3 friends helping me develop the solution. The
 FTP engine, trace, and Log are already done, and we are now working in
 the transaction and delegation parts for the requests. You can found a
 alpha version to be download in the following link:
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/jftp4i 
 Obs.: I don´t now if you guys can actually download the code, but if
 this is important, and you could not download the source, please
 contact me and i will be glad to send to you. 
 PS.: This is not another FTP Server, this is actually a framework that
 uses a FTP engine to dinamically generate content. 

BTW http://producingoss.com/ is a good read for people starting open
source projects...

all the best and good luck with jftp4i

Effectively it's turning into a component container, a larger variant of

sounds like JFTP4I would (despite not being just an FTP server) still be 
very much a server-like project. So definitely a TLP example.

Have you seen FtpServer in incubation [1]? I would think there is significant

[site] future of new project page

2005-01-08 Thread robert burrell donkin
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html contains new 
(sub-)project creation guidelines. i think that this is now outdated 
and should be removed. however, the content is pretty good and would be 
(i think) suitable (in amended form) for the incubator website. i think 
that the best approach would be for a volunteer to approach incubator 
to see if they are interested in the content, remove the page and

Chad,
 I am an IBM employee who has developed a new type of framework

Please first read: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html
also read http://incubator.apache.org/

You might consider approching the incubator project (subscribe to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) I would certainly suggest it as the best next
step for you.
You might consider contributing this to jakarta-commons.
Alternatively you might also consider approaching one of the existing
Jakarta sub-projects if you believe that there might be benefit in creating
a joint project combining the two things, or even of simply donating and
joining an existing sub-project.

Jakarta has a high bar for entry of new sub-projects, higher still since we
have been encouraged by the ASF board to flatten the structure of Apache.
This doesn't mean that we are unable or unwilling to consider new
sub-projects but it does mean that we might have to work hard to justify
it.

One final word of advice, Apache is not sourceforge, and whilst we do
welcome new projects it will require you to convince people of its worth
and you would do well to find someone who can champion your cause and do
some evangelising on your behalf.

Once we can then establish a community of interest, then at that later time it may be better to evaluate this project as a potential member of Jakarta.

New Project Proposal

2004-01-07 Thread Chad Meadows





I am an IBM employee who has developed a new type of framework which
incorporates Velocity as well as adds some enhancements to the core
package.
We are considering Open Sourcing this framework and are attempting to
determine the appropriate host.
This framework exists currently on top of Struts and Velocity and provides
a new method for managing the presentation layer using xml rules.
In the future, the plan is for the template engine to be pluggable, as
there is some interest for it to operate with freemarker as well.

I am interested from a high level, is jakarta-apache interested in hosting
this project.  I would want to be the technical lead in control of project
leadership and accepting contributions.  At present I only have myself as a
committer, but could probably find a couple of others for that role if
required.

Enhancements to velocity include:
1. Performance enhancements.
2. Added interface to allow filters to be applied to templates.
3. Added interface to allow templates to be cached after rendering.
4. New Resource Loader.
These core enhancements could be potential candidates to be incorporated
into the main Velocity stream.  They may need some refinement to be
accepted.

This contribution contains more than just velocity specific enhancements or
additions.  It is a framework in itself, the framework's function could
technically be incorporated on top of other template engines or even JSP's
(hopefully nobody would want that) .  Therefore, I don't think it fits into
velocity-tools.  It contains some subclasses to Struts servlet as well
which allows this framework to be loaded as a plugin to Struts.  Note, it
is not dependant on Struts, but there is extra functionality offered
through the use of Struts.
I think this fits nicely into Jakarta, but probably as its own project, not
as a subcomponent of velocity or struts.  The codebase is not that large,
it derives an enormous amount of functionality from leveraging a large
amount of Open Source.  However, its concept and direction is unique from
its XML rules based presentation layer.  I have been calling this framework
MVC-X myself ;-) for an extended MVC which has a dedicated controller just
for the view layer which in this case is the xml rules.

High Level features:
   XML Rules based Presentation.  This is quite extensive in features which
   are the core of the framework technology. Briefly, allows layouts (
   somewhat like tiles ) to be defined in xml as well as applying dynamic
   condition to how the layouts are performed.  It basically allows logic
   to be removed from the templates and the java code and exist in xml.
   The portion of the framework is controller and template engine agnostic.
   Chained template filtering
   Session state aware template caching
   JSP include support.  Technically allows any servlet output to be
   included in a template.
   Struts subclass enhancements include:
   High volume overload support
   Hot configuration update
   Enhanced Plugin Model
   CRON timer plugin
   Properties Plugin
   Universal Resouce Loader

A list of Open Source packages which are currently used by the framework:

New project proposal -- Html4Java

2003-11-17 Thread Mike Goudie
Hello,
I would like to start a new project at Jakarta called HTML4Java. The result of the new 
project will create a set of controls based on servlets and JSP pages - similar to 
Swing/AWT. HTML4Java is a server-side design-oriented page layout written and rendered 
in Java. Each HTML command is a class that is rendered, eliminating PrintWriter's and 
raw html code in your servlet. The rendering process uses css and has built in 
features to deal with multiple browsers.

I'm currently the sole developer and not in a Jakarta subproject or other open source 
initiative. I do believe that this would make an excellent project that the community 
would embrace.

Can I get approval to start this project at Jakarta?

Thank-you,
Mike

Hi,
we are five italian programmers and we have finished some days ago Puff, a http 
cache proxy written in java that have some interesting features like a spider that 
prefetch the web links and an option to convert all images to black and white one to 
have a speeder connection for the client. This software is free licensed (we haven't 
already choosed what type but this is free however!!) and we think to jakarta 
subprojects.
If it is possible tell us how we have to send it, the documentation and what ever you

Sorry for my english but probably in my language I can tell you better about
this project,
that is already in the world not real but academic because this started
from a project
for an exam.
I was thinking that just programming is not at all the difficult part of 
a software project. I have written thousands of lines of code that where 
never used, because the project died by lack of funding and I was not 
able to carry the code to other projects, because the company wanted for 
me to pay the whole cost of something that was essentially useles, as it 
was much cheaper to rewrite it.

This, by the way, was the revelation, that convinced me to the Open 
Source Ways, a bit in the same way of the printer driver story that 
I've heard RMS tell.

A project requires:

* A Vision
* A need fulfilled (the itch)
* Users that will like the way how it works (for one reason or the 
other, be it simplicity of design, economy of resources, stability, 
cost, or even features ;-)
+ Management to keep it evolving and avoid it falling into pieces in the 
contrast between the needs of the users and the needs of the design
* Some brand that makes it easy for people to remember it exists
* Documentation
* A evolving developer team to fix bugs, document and re-structure code 
on a continuous base
* ... and a bit of code

You seem to have the itch ( a caching proxy in java), and a name 
Puff (I like it a lot). You seem to be a group. This is what you have.

Do you have the rest of the things? Is it competitive in design, ideas, 
simpliticy, etc?

You should look for similar projects and study their status and design.

For instance, a proxy need a http client implementation (as well as an 
http server implementation).

You could look at how tomcat implements its server-to-client 
connections, and look at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/index.html for an http client.

When you have a clear idea of where your project stands (better, 
lacking, a good part but..., cleaner design, etc.) you can go back to 
these communities, or here, and argue for your position.

If the people in httpclient or in other projects (tomcat looks too big 
as a starting point, but...) gets convinced that your code is good, then 
you have a starting point. If they don't, and you still think you have 
something good, keep on trying.

Now, I got serious. Sorry for the previous joke

Regards,
 Santiago
P.S.) If you have problems with the english to express you, but you 
believe that the project is worth it, you can try sending mail to some 
Italian commiters or members (look at the people.html page in Apache) in 
Italian, or even to me (I'm Spanish, but I think I'll understand it).

Re: Incubator New Project Proposal: basicPortal.sf.net

2003-02-05 Thread Vic Cekvenich
- Hello?
- Go away, the Wizard of Oz is doing Maven.
- But I need a heart?

Is mostly everyone indifferent to basicPortal?

basicPortal would kind of uses open source NullSoft to create setup.exe, 
and not Maven. (it that an angle to get some comments :)).

How about is General or Incubator the right place to bug? Any 
feeling/opinions?

http://www.mail-archive.com/mvc-programmers%40basebeans.net/msg1.html

.V


I would like to propose a project for the incubator, I also cc general 
list.

Background

Scope: basicPortal.sf.net, is a portal vertical applications suite, or a 
portal web application containing a set of frequently used vertical 
business applications that you install from setup.exe.
It use Jakarta many sub projects, it’s main verticals are CMS and 
Community building.
It is not a framework, but actual solutions to business problems/needs.
It’s based on Struts tiles, but includes Tomcat, a PostgreSQL  (which 
has a liberal license) DB, in which XML content is stored as a varchar 
filed in a db, and it is rendered via JSTL x:transform tag. One of it’s 
goals it to be able to run J:Meter right out of the box to find out how 
many transactions it can support. Also, it is being ported to Commons 
SQL for DAO.
The goal of it’s UI is something like “my.netscape.com” where you can 
move verticals around (some verticals like carigslist.com) so an admin 
can assign a suite for a “role” (based on JDBC Realms).

The problem so far has been to write sample apps for a Jakarta project, 
for example Master Detail processing of users in Struts, or JDBC Relms 
in Tomcat. This suite provides a place where a project can be plugged in.

It is similar to JetSpeed, but based on Struts and JSTL. It is similar 
to Forest and Caccon, one day jakarta web site could have it’s XML moved 
to something like basicPortal and have it be a dynamic content with RSS 
feeds, and approval, etc.
I believe JetSpeed can get better with some competition; Jakarta has a 
tradition of similar systems, such as Velocity, Turbine and Struts.

I think it should be in incubator and become a Jakarta project one day 
as a show case of what a business user can do with Jakarta. Most 
projects now are framework type for developers.

Community and Developers: It could use a better community and more 
involvement.
It’s developers list
https://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=55539
but I did most of the development.
I have several commercial sites that use it, and baseBeans.com is 
running it.
I have mailing list, that is not specific to basicPortal at
http://www.basebeans.net:8080/mailman/listinfo/mvc-programmers
It is as popular or more than OJB/Tapestry, the latest 2 projects.
BasicPortal will work more on building a community before and after 
acceptance, as is required by the Subproject proposal page. (“understand 
what it means to build a community”). One developer is using Nullsoft 
Open source setup to make a setup.
It is already packaged as org.apache.xyz


Alignment: It  also does try to demonstrate some of the good practices 
designs in developing an application that uses Tomcat, Struts, JSTL, SQL 
Commons, DBCP, J:meter, and any other Jakarta project, that could be 
used. I realy think some projects could build a demo app, since Tomcat 
and working PostgreSQL will be provided to basicPortal.
It’s an application that was developed using KISS, everything in it is 
simple code that is very teachable, and each pieces is simple.

Some of the features:
-New content can be approved (in a multi row update, so you can 
check a lot of content at once) before it is available.
-Wiki style, non approved comments on any page (from a comments db 
table)
-RSS based feed (digester based-into content table)
-Tomcat based declarative users security of JDBC realms (a users 
table, each role has it’s module actions)
-Modules for Contact Management (user table), Task tracking, E-mail 
web client, Store, Auction, Bloeger.
-It allows for people to upload an image into a DB (as BLOB) and 
display it from a JSP (via a servlet link)


Like I said it is simple, combined systems to make a useful application. 
For example, anyone can write a user maintenance web module, basicPortal 
uses it for JDBC Realms, so in Struts in order to long in you need to be 
a user.

CMS: users enter an XML record in a XML field in DB. Simple. But since 
it is DB, it can be flagged a approved, and rendered to another HTML 
filed in same table.

Ad sub system uses GIF images stored in a DB. When user is browsing 
certain content, we can find out ads with similar metatags and display 
it. (as well as measuer click troughs via count++;)

The entire application is tile (Sturts tiles action, vs Struts action) 
based, so that users in the Relm of admin, can move tiles around similar 
to my.netscape.com to change the look and feel for the group.

Other modules are even simpler.

The foundation of application is Struts Tiles Action (MVC), so as above,

Incubator? Wiki? Here?

I followed all the rules to propose a proejct, like OJB and Tapestry did.

Of course it runs Linux, it's only Tomcat. But Windoze users do not know 
how to edit server.xml to setup JDBC relms, etc. This thing out of the 
box setups an XML based portal based on Struts, JSTL, etc. It uses 
Jakarta projects, somewhat similar to JetSpeed.
Some of the comiters on it do not even do not even own Windoze, but 
Linux people do not need setup.exe, they could just use a WAR and 
execute SQL scripts! But yes, project is dual platform.

practices designs in developing an application that uses Tomcat, 
Struts, JSTL, SQL Commons, DBCP, J:meter, and any other Jakarta 
project, that could be used. I realy think some projects could build 
a demo app, since Tomcat and working PostgreSQL will be provided to 
basicPortal.
It’s an application that was developed using KISS, everything in it 
is simple code that is very teachable, and each pieces is simple.

Some of the features:
-New content can be approved (in a multi row update, so you can 
check a lot of content at once) before it is available.
-Wiki style, non approved comments on any page (from a comments 
db table)
-RSS based feed (digester based-into content table)
-Tomcat based declarative users security of JDBC realms (a users 
table, each role has it’s module actions)
-Modules for Contact Management (user table), Task tracking, 
E-mail web client, Store, Auction, Bloeger.
-It allows for people to upload an image into a DB (as BLOB) and 
display it from a JSP (via a servlet link)

Incubator New Project Proposal: basicPortal.sf.net

2003-02-04 Thread Vic Cekvenich
I would like to propose a project for the incubator, I also cc general list.

Background

Scope: basicPortal.sf.net, is a portal vertical applications suite, or a 
portal web application containing a set of frequently used vertical 
business applications that you install from setup.exe.
It use Jakarta many sub projects, it’s main verticals are CMS and 
Community building.
It is not a framework, but actual solutions to business problems/needs.
It’s based on Struts tiles, but includes Tomcat, a PostgreSQL  (which 
has a liberal license) DB, in which XML content is stored as a varchar 
filed in a db, and it is rendered via JSTL x:transform tag. One of it’s 
goals it to be able to run J:Meter right out of the box to find out how 
many transactions it can support. Also, it is being ported to Commons 
SQL for DAO.
The goal of it’s UI is something like “my.netscape.com” where you can 
move verticals around (some verticals like carigslist.com) so an admin 
can assign a suite for a “role” (based on JDBC Realms).

The problem so far has been to write sample apps for a Jakarta project, 
for example Master Detail processing of users in Struts, or JDBC Relms 
in Tomcat. This suite provides a place where a project can be plugged in.

It is similar to JetSpeed, but based on Struts and JSTL. It is similar 
to Forest and Caccon, one day jakarta web site could have it’s XML moved 
to something like basicPortal and have it be a dynamic content with RSS 
feeds, and approval, etc.
I believe JetSpeed can get better with some competition; Jakarta has a 
tradition of similar systems, such as Velocity, Turbine and Struts.

I think it should be in incubator and become a Jakarta project one day 
as a show case of what a business user can do with Jakarta. Most 
projects now are framework type for developers.

Community and Developers: It could use a better community and more 
involvement.
It’s developers list
https://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=55539
but I did most of the development.
I have several commercial sites that use it, and baseBeans.com is 
running it.
I have mailing list, that is not specific to basicPortal at
http://www.basebeans.net:8080/mailman/listinfo/mvc-programmers
It is as popular or more than OJB/Tapestry, the latest 2 projects.
BasicPortal will work more on building a community before and after 
acceptance, as is required by the Subproject proposal page. (“understand 
what it means to build a community”). One developer is using Nullsoft 
Open source setup to make a setup.
It is already packaged as org.apache.xyz


Alignment: It  also does try to demonstrate some of the good practices 
designs in developing an application that uses Tomcat, Struts, JSTL, SQL 
Commons, DBCP, J:meter, and any other Jakarta project, that could be 
used. I realy think some projects could build a demo app, since Tomcat 
and working PostgreSQL will be provided to basicPortal.
It’s an application that was developed using KISS, everything in it is 
simple code that is very teachable, and each pieces is simple.

lot of content at once) before it is available.
-	Wiki style, non approved comments on any page (from a comments db table)
-	RSS based feed (digester based-into content table)
-	Tomcat based declarative users security of JDBC realms (a users table,

client, Store, Auction, Bloeger.
-	It allows for people to upload an image into a DB (as BLOB) and 
display it from a JSP (via a servlet link)


Like I said it is simple, combined systems to make a useful application. 
For example, anyone can write a user maintenance web module, basicPortal 
uses it for JDBC Realms, so in Struts in order to long in you need to be 
a user.

CMS: users enter an XML record in a XML field in DB. Simple. But since 
it is DB, it can be flagged a approved, and rendered to another HTML 
filed in same table.

Ad sub system uses GIF images stored in a DB. When user is browsing 
certain content, we can find out ads with similar metatags and display 
it. (as well as measuer click troughs via count++;)

The entire application is tile (Sturts tiles action, vs Struts action) 
based, so that users in the Relm of admin, can move tiles around similar 
to my.netscape.com to change the look and feel for the group.

Other modules are even simpler.

The foundation of application is Struts Tiles Action (MVC), so as above, 
it can have several different presentations.
It can also have several different DB layers, such as RowSet or 
SQL-Commons. Other can be added by implementing a simple DAO interface. 
(we did not do OJB or JDO yet since they tend to be more heavyweight).

The system comes with PostGreSQL DB and can alternatively be installed 
via Setup.exe, since it is an application useful for business (as 
opposed to a framework like Struts that is 

Database Persistence Layer new project - Azeitona

2001-12-07 Thread Edson Alves Pereira

 Hello folks, a friend my just created a persistence layer to use with databases and 
he´d like to add this library to Apache, are there people that woul like to improve 
this library, remember that he based on Design Partner. I known that this kind of 
products is very expensive and is very difficult to find a open source Persistence 
Layer.

 With best wishes,

RE: Database Persistence Layer new project - Azeitona

2001-12-07 Thread Fernandez Martinez, Alejandro

Hi Edson,

Jakarta already has a persistence layer to use with databases, called
Torque:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/torque/index.html
While I personally haven't used it yet, and it's arguably not based on
Design Partner, it seems to be fine enogh.

If your friend wants to propose her project anyway, please direct her to
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html
where she will learn the requisites.

Un saludo,

Alex Fernández

Why? That was a direct quote.

That isn't M$ ASP, it is 'application service provider'.

I know, but reading it without the full introduction to the quote makes it
appear as we're talking about M$-ASP, and makes us look bad (not that I
care much about M$ anyway, but...). Another option is expanding it and
replacing it with application service provider in full...

But the question remains - why do we need to even mention ASP. Can't we just 
say the FooMarket for the FooProduct has dried up ? ;)

Comment on the proposal itself: the Project Management Committee bylaws
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html) clearly state that
Creation of a new subproject requires approval by 3/4 vote of the PMC.

Furthermore, the still unratified proposal guidelines
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/proposal.html)  state that It is preferred
but not required that at least one PMC member be a Committer to a new
subproject.  We need to reconcile these two proposals.

Finally, the proposal also suggests that the vote that you are proposing
should also require a supermajority.

Ted: can you take a quick glance at the proposal that you have been
sheperding to ensure that it is current and up to date in your opinion, and
(if so) put it up for a vote?
