RE: [JBoss-dev] Re: How about a JBoss-2.6 release?

2001-08-24 Thread Simon Harris



FWIW, I noticed that the service provider spec 
defines that the config files live in a sub director "services" under 
META-INF
 
Ie if services.xml is the services config file, 
shouldn't it be located as follows:
 
META-INF/services/services.xml
 
or was the services.xml file intended as an xml 
replacement for the contents of the services directory>
 
Cheers,
 
Simon.

Well, it's how the actual deployment step is done, i.e. getting the JAR
to the server. With Jini there are two ways:
1. Use pull: each server has a Jini service that "listens" for available
JAR's from a central repository, which is found form the LUS (Jini
LookUpService, similar to JNDI but more dynamic). When a JAR is added,
it is downloaded and deployed.
2. Use push: each server has a Jini service that one can call
deploy(URL) on. The deployer tool can find the servers by looking them
up in the LUS.

1. is good because you just say "here are the JAR's to be used for this
cluster", i.e. put them in the central repository and let the servers
find them by looking them up. Whenever you start a new server it will
load them automatically, i.e. you don't have to deploy them manually.

2. is good because you get immediate response whether the deployment
succeeded or failed, and you have more control over when the actual
deployment is done.

Both are useful, and they're not exclusive, i.e. both can be used at the
same time.

More clear?

2001-08-22 Thread marc fleury

versions are misleading.

RH is the ongoing cvs HEAD effort, today called 2.5, the CMP stuff is almost
finished by Dain, the MQ stuff has really matured to a point where it is
production quality thanks to David and hiram, the iiop stuff is getting
there thanks to ole and francisco, the http stack is going to be jetty
integrated at the core thanks to Julian (soon), the clustering Bill/Sacha,
microkernel-jmx-sar with Scott/me/juha (working on book), new build  etc
etc...

so 3.0 is not something we bring out of nowhere after 3 month of tower
development it is already happening in the commits under your noses.  3.0
will be all these features STABILIZED, so the version that is coming out
soon is the BETA, in fact it will be an ALPHA.

clear?

yep.

You took the infrastructure so far with the MLet but making the stuff really
hot deploy is really a pain, the MLets don't work.  I now understand why you
took the december "argument" on our research so personally, you had in fact
ran into these problems during the JMX design.

You should have corrected me when I said we would not use this EVER in our
codebase ;-) it's the building block.  I should have known, research is
never "intellectual curiosity" but almost always finds implementations in
places we expect it least.

You will see, I will try to commit very very soon (I know I have been saying
so for the past 2 weeks) but the MLet stuff is replaced by a
ServiceClassLoader tightly coupled with the MBean/url approach... I think
you will like it, if you understood Dr Jung's work (did you?)

Re Rabbit Hole, I am now running out of time and need to commit. What I am
going to commit is basically the microkernel approach to the JMX stuff, a
working URL based deployment (real http farm installs) and the sar hotdeploy
approach to the server.  SPINE (GPA) + SERVICES = JBOSS.

A simple work.  I take what you had pionneered to its real final form and
its logical conclusion.  The microkernel stuff is real and solid imho, even
if it doesn't look like much, it is, I like to believe, ground breaking
work.

Does this include what we loosely called .sar deployment (i.e. Jar file
with MBeans and jboss.cfml/services.xml in it)? That would be so cool.
:-)

BTW, in my current project we have dropped EJB's in favor of MBeans +
Jini. So, the EAR hot deployment is not so interesting, but .sar hot
deployment would be :-)

Jason,

I totally agree with my partner :)

2.4 is going to be the stable one but 3.0 is 2.4 with new features (IIOP,
qualityMQ, CMP, cluster, Microkernel, http based install) etc etc... making
a 2.6 version will not bring much if we put all these features.  2.6 will
need to be a maintenance release of 2.4 when 3.0 is out.

We want a very stable version and that means no new features in there, 2.4
is the word.

3.0 is coming out soon, probably by the end of the week/month.
