Hi Eric, welcome I'm relatively new to this myself and, as I'm not not focusing on the Java implementation, I can't help you with Java details much but I did read a good article by Martin Fowler about the inversion of control/dependency injection pattern [1].
There was also a recent telcon about the changes proposed to support the recursive assembly model in Java so this would be a place where you could look to find out how things might change going forward. Jim posted about this [2]. Also have a go with the current code base and ask questions here or on the IRC [3] [1] http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org/msg03853.html [3] http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/getinvolved.html Regards Simon On 6/22/06, Eric Le Goff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi everyone, I am an average Java developer and my goal would be to get deeper understanding of the open source development process in general and I chose the Tuscany project architecture / implementation / tooling etc... as a starting point (since SOA sounds like an interesting concept). My question is about pre-requisite readings / knowledge / training ....before some newbie java developer like me is able to provide some help with code and document. There are indeed so many things for a newcomer to read : - this mailing list - the project wiki pages - the specs (0.9 already obsolete ?) - more (???) I know how to use Eclipse, maven, how to find JIRA issues ...but I would need some help when it comes to the project architecture (from 40000 ft, not the details...), development concepts like dependency injection, or what do you mean by "recursive model"... I know the general answer is "Read the f... Manual" but all I need is the correct pointers and a global methodology. In other words I would like to know what shold be absolutely known before pretending contributing to the project. And if all this does not sound stupid ;) I promise to work hard and learn these prerequisite and maybe some day to contribute to the code :)... thanks for your help Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
