Nathan Bubna commented on VELTOOLS-180:
---------------------------------------
Gah, i'm stuck in jello. Sorry, been too busy with other things to stop and
really think on this. I think the way you went is fine, of course, though i do
think a velocity-model type project might make sense, particularly if you can
get any community to work with you. What i wouldn't want is to bring it in
under the Velocity PMC responsibility and have it ultimately be a one-man piece
of an already-hurting-for-active-participants Apache project.
> New velocity-tools-model architecture
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELTOOLS-180
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-180
> Project: Velocity Tools
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Misc
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: Claude Brisson
> Assignee: Claude Brisson
> Priority: Major
>
> The new data access layer (or persistence-less ORM) module that constitutes
> the Model Tool, and which once was the
> [Velosurf|https://github.com/arkanovicz/velosurf] library but rewritten at
> 90%, sits in the [model
> branch|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/velocity/tools/branches/model/velocity-tools-model/].
> But I started having second thoughts while coding. If you look at [this class
> diagram|https://republicate.com/class_diagram.svg], you'll see that there are
> only 5/6 objects that will appear in VTL contexts. The remaining of the
> library is about 40 classes, and offers by itself an ORM which I tried to
> keep simple and efficient also on the Java side.
> So I'm starting to think that I should just publish here the VTL related
> objects and host the ORM library elsewhere. It's more in the spirit of
> VelocityTools to keep things lightweight, and separate projects are the best
> guaranty of code isolation.
> For instance, I can publish it along with other projects that I publish on
> maven central in the com.republicate group id, like the
> [webapp-slf4j-logger|https://github.com/arkanovicz/webapp-slf4j-logger].
> It makes velocity-tools-model rely on a project external to apache, but it's
> not a problem per se. Or the ORM library can find its way to the apache
> codebase through, like, a commons-model project. Or start at com.republicate
> and then migrate. Or start here then migrate elsewhere...
