> DbUtils exhibits all of the qualities of a component that should be in > Commons proper: > - It's small and focused. > - It's API is well defined > - It has a group of existing Jakarta committers providing code, ideas, and > support. > - It has good unit test coverage. It has also been tested in real world > database applications. > - It has automated nightly builds, website, and Maven all working > - It has incubated in the sandbox for long enough to become stable > > DbUtils is a mature component that should move to Commons proper so it can > be released to the public. Here's my +1. > > The website has additional information: > http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/dbutils/index.html > > Here's the component proposal for reference: > (0) Rationale > > Correct JDBC coding is time consuming and error prone. Many > JDBC coding tasks can be simplified with a small helper library > that factors out the mundane resource cleanup steps. DbUtils > is focused on providing such a library without any heavyweight > framework surrounding it. > > (1) Scope of the Package > > This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes for > various types of JDBC related activity. DbUtils will > not be an OO representation of database objects nor will > it be an Object/Relational framework. It will be > a lightweight JDBC library that helps developers write > correct database code. > > (1.5) Interaction With Other Packages > > DBUtils relies only on standard Java 1.2 (or later) APIs for > production deployment. It utilizes the JUnit testing framework for > developing and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to > developers of the component. Being dependent on Java 1.2 means that > this code is expected to be of JDBC 2.0 level. > > No external configuration files are utilized. > > (2) Initial Source of the Package > > Potential source code for this package will come from the initial > committers' personal libraries. > > The proposed package name for the new component is > <code>org.apache.commons.dbutils</code>. > > (3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources > > CVS Repository - New directory dbutils in the jakarta-commons CVS > repository. > > Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
