What is the status of T4? I haven't seen a huge amount of 
commits from Craig
and Remy recently and it seems like the whole adaptor stuff 
will never get
finished cause it seems like a big political, testing and configuration
mess.

Did you notice the commit from JF Clere and Pier on J-T-C ???

Knowing Jon, I don't really think he was referring to the module... He would
have called it module :)

Could someone teach us why the word 'module' is so impopular in Tomcat 
whereas it was the success reason of Apache HTTP Server.

Sun asked everybody to use up some vacation, so they could stop carrying
it as a future liability.  They weren't alone.  See, e.g.:

It's not unpopular at all... Who makes you believe it is?

As usual, I'm focused on the container.  There seems to be progress made
on the connectors as well but (just getting back from vacation) I'm not up
to date on the details.

I would like to see Apache+Tomcat pass all the tester and Watchdog tests,
the same way that Tomcat standalone does.  Pier et. al., where do we stand
on that?

 I'm not asking for a timeline, just a status report.
 

I'd like to see a concerted effort to clean up the outstanding Bugzilla
reports and then cut a beta 6 release within the next couple of
weeks.  This will allow us to catch up on all the recent bug fixes and
enhancements, and have a release that closely corresponds to what will be
included in J2EE 1.3.

At the moment, there are 25 outstanding Tomcat 4 bug reports.  I think a
bunch of them have already been fixed, so I would like the folks focusing
on those areas of the code to please update Bugzilla to reflect that -- so
we'll be able to clearly identify outstanding issues, and get to work on
them.

If anyone has issues that are not reflected in Bugzilla (perhaps you've
reported them in email), *please* submit a bug report.  That way, we can
track it for posterity, and not have to wade back through the mail
archives to find them.

PS:  I know you didn't ask for a timeline, but I'd like to float a concept
and see how the other developers feel about it:  The Servlet 2.3 and JSP
1.2 specs will go final (along with the rest of the J2EE specs) sometime
in the pretty near future, and I'd like to release Tomcat 4.0 final on the
day that the specs go final.  Does that sound like a worthwhile goal?

It is a good goal, however, it must not be the deciding factor.

In other words, I'm just stating that releasing before the specs go final
*is* possible.

Craig
 and Remy recently

Did you hear about Sun's shutdown last week ? ;-)

Just before the shutdown, I rewrote the CL, and then waited to see if people
would get back at me with problems. Nobody did, so I assume there's no
problem.

As far as I (the I here means that this concerns the parts of Catalina I'm
working on : almost everything when Catalina is run standalone) am
concerned, TC 4.0 is done, and is in bugfix / tweaking mode.

At the moment, I'm working on an improved HTTP/1.1 connector, which is in
late design / early implementation phase. It's unlikely it will be included
in the 4.0 release, because we wouldn't have enough time to test it.

 and it seems like the whole adaptor stuff will never get
 finished cause it seems like a big political, testing and configuration
 mess.

Adaptor means web server connector here ?

 I'm not asking for a timeline, just a status report.
