Subject: Where are we with release content?


I'd to checkpoint on where we are for the release, get people's input on what they are working on and try and pin down when we think we will be in a position to start cutting binaries. I've summarized below where I think we are, please fill in the gaps and add anything that you think needs to be done (or that can be dropped). This is based on the content mail from Aug 16.

Thanks

1) Specs
   SNAPSHOTs have been posted to the Apache repo.
Q: are there any changes to SDO pending? Are we happy with the version there?

2) SCA Kernel (core)
ClassLoading changes: basic hierarchy in place, still need multi- parent support - Q:is anyone doing this, do we need it? Integration of databinding framework: complete as an extension, needs to migrate to kernel which means more tests are needed - Q: who is doing this?

The test coverage for two key packages in databinding-framework has surpassed 62.5%. I'm planning to add more for the transformers which transforms data accross XML parsing technologies and I/O sources/results.

   Async callbacks: assuming this is complete
Complex properties: DOM model for defaults but not values, still need xpath support and to integrate with databinding framework - Q: Venkat are you working on this?

I'll work with Venkat on this.

Transitive dependency support: first cut repo provided by Meeraj, need to integrate with hosts, need to add support for using this in <include> and <implementation.composite>


3) Baseline extensions
idl.wsdl: supported with wsdlLocation, no support yet via registry - Q: do we need this, if so is anyone working on it?

binding.axis: sync is working, async in progress - Q: Ignacio are you working on this, what's left? need to update to a stable version - AXIOM 1.1 is out, are we ready for Axis2 1.1? is anyone testing this?

I can help.

   binding.celtix: Q - where are we?
   binding.rmi: is this working? complete?
   databinding.axiom: assuming this is complete

Yes, as a staging statement, we can transform OMElement to XMLStreamReader and vice versa. Other databindings such as SDO, JAXB or XMLBeans have been supported by multi-hop transformations.

   databinding.sdo: is this complete? anything left to do on  TypeHelpers?

For dynamic SDO, I think it's complete. We have a dependency on the SDO feature required by JIRA TUSCANY-684/226 to support generated SDO classes in different scopes.

   databinding.jaxb: where are we?

4 transformers have been implemented, we need some more testing and integration efforts here.

   container.javascript: where are we?
   container.spring: where are we?


4) Optional extensions
   binding.jsonrpc - in or out?
   binding.osgi - in or out?
   databinding.xmlbeans - in or out?
   databinding.castor - in or out?

Several transformers have been implemented, we need some more testing and integration efforts here.

   container.groovy - in or out?
   any other bindings or containers to be in?

5) Host distributions
   Standalone - which extensions should be in?
   Web - do we still need this now we have the war plugin?
   WAR Plugin - do we need web.xml editing?

6) Sample applications
Technology samples - do we have the right ones? are there any we don't need? what is the form for these in the release - bundled as source, separate bundle? BigBank application - any progress? when will it be ready? do we hold the release or post it later?


Other areas:
* SDO distribution - are we ready? where are we with samples, doco, legal review? * DAS distribution - are we ready? where are we with samples, doco, legal review?
* SCA distribution - doco? legal?
* Website - are we generally happy with the site? is anyone planning on working to update the site for M2 content?
