Is that what accounts for the delay [in fully moving to the apache

that DB PMC had voted to sponsor axion to the incubator and now?
Among other reasons, yes.  (The warm welcome axion received at the 
incubator is probably another reason for delay.)

When Derby was first announced I thought it may make life rough on
Axion, but the more I look at using Cloudscape 10 (derby initial
codebase) the more I think Axion may make life difficult for Derby
There is a lot of potential for both of them.  I have no idea whether we'll
see the two communities and codebases merge, or just the communities with
two codebases that target somewhat different, but overlapping, segments, or
what.  That will be up to them.
How do you see the overlap and interplay between them from your review,

Re: [Jakarta Commons Locale] PROPOSAL

2003-02-08 Thread Rodney Waldhoff
You might want to try this again on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/charter.html) preferably with [VOTE]
in the subject line as well as PROPOSAL, if your intention is to call a

probably assume the to line was accidental.)

On Sat, 8 Feb 2003, Robert Simpson wrote:

 Proposal for Commons Locale component

 This is a proposal for creating a Locale component in the Jakarta Commons
 subproject, superseding and encompassing the Resources component
 that is currently in the Jakarta Commons sandbox.

 An HTML version of this proposal can be found at 
http://iToolSet.com/locale/PROPOSAL.html


 0) Rationale

 There are many different types of Java(TM)* objects that may be included in
 Java applications that support internationalization (i18n).  These include
 resources, message strings, formatters, Calendars, Currency objects, TimeZones,
 Exceptions, Collators, and BreakIterators, among others.

 There currently is a Resources component in the Jakarta Commons sandbox.
 However, there should be a common architecture for internationalization of any
 object, not one that is limited to Resources.  Therefore, a Locale component
 should be added to the Jakarta Commons proper.  The functions provided by the
 Resources component currently in the sandbox could be provided in a subpackage
 under the package created for the new Locale component.


 1) Scope of the Component

 The proposal defines a common framework for internationalization of various
 Java classes.  This internationalization typically occurs by localizing
 instances of Java objects to a specific Locale.  The proposed framework would
 facilitate the internationalization of all objects to a single Locale per user,
 in either a single-user or multi-user environment.  For example, when localizing
 messages, both the message patterns and the inserted arguments should be localized
 to the same Locale.  This is a good example of why internationalization should occur
 at a higher level than simply the resources that supply the localized message 
patterns.

 Two interfaces, Localizable (used by classes that implement both a get and
 set method for the Locale) and Localized (for classes that implement a get method
 only) would be defined.  Other implementers would be encouraged to declare their
 classes with one of these interfaces where appropriate.  Where this occurs, any
 Factory classes which generate localized/localizable (localized/able) versions of
 those objects would be included in that same package, rather than under the Locale
 component.  This is appropriate, since it makes sense to keep the Factory and the
 base class or interface it creates in the same package.  In contrast, for classes
 provided by Sun Microsystems or third parties, where the source code could not be
 modified, a localized/able subclass of the Sun/third party class would be created
 within the Locale component, typically in a subpackage structure that in some way 
parallels
 the structure in which the base class resides (in the initial code, this has already
 been done for most of the Java SDK classes).  This would allow other Jakarta
 subprojects and components to locate and include such classes in a consistent manner.

 1.5) Interaction With Other Subpackages and Components

 In the initial code, there are a number of classes that abstract various classes 
provided
 in different versions of the Java SDKs that can be used for configuration parameters 
(Properties,
 Preferences, and the Preferences SPI).  These classes might be most appropriately 
placed in the
 Jakarta Commons Util component (with specific implementations in props and prefs 
subpackages).
 If this was not acceptable, those classes could be placed under the Locale component.

 The proposed component will probably contribute only to other components within the 
Jakarta
 Commons subproject, primarily the util (as mentioned above) and possibly lang 
component.
 On the other hand, it is expected that other components and subpackages will make 
use of the
 Locale component anywhere they need to provide for internationalization of their 
objects,
 resulting in much heavier interaction inbound rather than outbound, which should be 
typical
 of the Commons subpackage in general.


 2) Initial Source of the Package

 The initial source of the package would be obtained from existing code (after the
 addition of comments to meet Apache requirements), which can be found in a .zip file
 that can be downloaded from http://iToolSet.com/locale/CommonsLocale.zip.  This code
 has been revised somewhat to demonstrate how it might appear in the Apache world, and
 to provide a working example.  The example, which simulates the use of localized 
resources

Re: A Jakarta wiki?

 So how about some feedback:
 1. Wiki's - love 'em or hate 'em?

Love 'em, and think they would provide (a) a good way to write ad hoc
documentation, (b) a good way to host certain discussions.  At my day job
we use an internal wiki for documentation almost exclusively, and
sometimes as an effective public brainstorming tool.  (And we're fairly
centrally located--for distributed, asynchronous discussion a wiki is even
more useful.)

 2. JSPWiki - good choice or bad choice?

Never used it, so no real opinion, although there seem to be a number of
wiki's that are much more popular (perhaps not in java though).  There's a
big list of wiki impls on Ward's Wiki at
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines, of course.

(Most wiki clones, JSPWiki included, seem to be GPLed, if that matters to
anyone.)

 3. Scope of the wiki(s) - ((Turbine) and (Avalon)), Jakarta or Apache?

I'd like to see a wiki with at least jakarta scope.

One option might be to use a wiki that supports namespaces, or a
federation of wikis with intra-wiki links, so that one could create a
sub-wiki per project but still support global cross-linking.

For example, a intra-wiki link might look like Turbine:OracleHowTo versus
plain ol' OracleHowTo.

Alternatively, a simple convention of prefixing the project name might be
sufficient for a shared wiki namespace, but might need support from some
WikiGnomes.

 4. Hosting - apache.org or external

Something internal would seem official.

 5. Timing - now, soon, later or never

Soon.


If I can use this wiki (or this makes it easier to set up another wiki)
for other jakarta/apache projects, I'd be more than happy to help out
however I can.  Please keep me posted, either via jakarta-general, by
pointing out where this discussion is happening, or via a direct note.

Yes, probably, but this isn't the right list to ask this question.

If your website runs on the apache webserver, you might try one of the
httpd user lists (or probably a FAQ somewhere).  See

If you're talking about Tomcat, you might try tomcat-user (or probably a

jakarta-general is for discussion of issues and topics that impact the

Re: What is Jakarta?

2001-02-08 Thread Rodney Waldhoff

A little backstory on the connection pooling mechanism I submitted to Struts 
a while back:

A couple of months ago, at the company I work for we ran into problems with 
the connection pooling implementation within the commercial product we were 
using.  Specifically, (a) the pool itself was buggy and (b) the pool 
implementation made it difficult for us to pool PreparedStatements and the 
parse rate of unpooled PreparedStatements within the database was becoming a 
bottleneck to application performance.  For this reason I put together a 
Connection/PreparedStatement pooling implementation that met our needs.

Completely independently, I noticed the Struts project on 
jakarta.apache.org, started to poke around a bit, and subscribed to 
struts-dev and struts-user.  I noticed that Struts had a basic connection 
pooling implementation.  I also noticed several requests on struts-dev and 
struts-user looking to expand the functionality on the Struts connection 
pool.  Many of the features (in fact all of the features) that were being 
asked for were/are features of the Connection/PreparedStatement pool I put 
together.  So, I repackaged my code as org.apache.struts.*, and submitted it 
to the list.

This is the way open source development is supposed to work, no?  I had an 
itch, I scratched it.  I noticed others had the same itch, so I offered it 
up.

Now, unbeknownst to me, the Turbine project over at java.apache.org also has 
a connection pooling library with similar functionality.  Maybe it's my 
fault for not knowing this.  Maybe it's the struts-dev folk’s fault (sorry 
guys) for failing to mention that there is a connection pooling library in 
Turbine over at java.apache.org.  Maybe it's Apache's fault for not 
providing a clear picture of what is available and where.  Maybe it doesn't 
matter anyway because I think my pool is better designed, easier to 
maintain, or more feature rich than the existing one, in which case I think 
it's up to the community to decide which implementation they'd like to use. 
(And before we go off on a a holy war here, I'm not saying that I do think 
that.  I'm specifically not saying that one impl is better or worse than the 
other. Not having looked at the Turbine stuff in detail, I'm in no position 
to state that.  I'm just saying that that is a valid position to take.  It 
could be wrong (in the eyes of the community) but it's not unreasonable.)

Jon's response to this, when brought up in a slightly different context, was 
a bit off-putting:

  Meanwhile, I do think there would be a lot of interest in a Jakarta
  connection pool. In fact, someone has offered to donate one to Struts.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-devm=97967619230491 

Totally friggen lame.

*All* of that code (and more) is already implemented in Turbine and can be
used outside of the core "Turbine" system very easily.

If all of that functionality is available in Turbine, that makes it 
*redundant*, not lame.  Moreover, having poked around a bit in the Turbine 
stuff (and granted, I didn't poke that hard or that long, so maybe I missed 
it), it seems to me that not "all of that code is already implemented in 
Turbine".  Specifically, (a) I don't see that Turbine is doing any pooling 
of PreparedStatements, which if you recall was the major itch I was trying 
to scratch, (b) Turbine's Connection pool seems to require specific 
references to TurbineDB--so that legacy code has to be retrofitted to work 
with Turbine's pool, (c) Turbine's pool doesn't seem to support a 
javax.sql.DataSource interface.  Could Turbine's pool be modify to support 
these things? Of course, but I wasn't aware of Turbine's pool when I first 
submitted mine.  Moreover, Jon's response doesn't make me feel like my 
contribution is very welcome there.

Frankly, there seems to be some underlying Turbine vs. Struts politics here 
that I don't want to get involved in.  If you'd like to debate the merits of 
one pooling implementation versus another, or to work to see the full suite 
of functionality implemented in a single pooling library, or perhaps to 
debate whether or not more than one pool implementation is warranted, then 
let's do so.  But I don't think a knee-jerk response like that does much 
more than alienate potential developers.

I was going to segue this into a discussion of how a more modular 
utility/services/library project or set of projects is warranted, but I see 
that Morgan and Ted have already kicked that off in earnest, so I'll follow 
up in that thread.
