Ron, I've not yet contributed to Tuscany and I'm still getting familiar with the code base, so I'm not speaking with authority. Yet – as a potential Tuscany developer I would not want to discourage the use of assertions.
Here is why: when you compile under 1.4, by default assertions are not recognized as a keyword. But you can tell the Java compiler to enable assertions by: javac –source 1.4 Of course, building Tuscany isn't as simple as that. Maybe the build script can be made aware of the version and add the "–source 1.4" argument as needed. This is something I'd be happy to look into if other developers support the idea.

Brandon, Thanks for your reply. The SDO 2.01 spec requires the minimum JDK to be 1.4.0. So, it seems that 1.4.2-specific features such as assert should be off-limits for tuscany SDO code. Also, as a JDK 1.4.2 user, I would like to be able to generate SDO classes from a Java interface. By deleting Interface2JavaGenerator.java, I lose that ability. I think the few JDK 1.5-specific features of this class should be packaged separately so that 1.4 users can still use the tool.

I do not understand your "assert" keyword error, as that was introduced in JDK 1.4.2 Thanks! Brandon Werner Ron Gavlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/28/2006 10:12 AM Please respond to [email protected] To tuscany-user tuscany-user <[email protected]> cc Subject Tuscany SDO compilation problems w/JDK 1.4 Greetings, I am attempting to build tuscany-sdo M2-RC1a w/JDK 1.4. This release of Tuscany SDO should compile with JDK 1.4, correct? I am experiencing the two problems listed below. What are the correct fixes for these problems and should I open JIRAs for them? 1). Line 188 of org.apache.tuscany.sdo.util.StAX2SAXAdapter.java includes the JDK 1.5 keyword "assert". 2). Lines 23-24 and 182-186 of org.apache.tuscany.sdo.generate.Interface2JavaGenerator.java include references to JDK 1.5-only classes java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType and java.lang.reflect.Type. - Ron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be confidential.
