Hello everyone, I think ASF will participate in the Google Summer of Code(GSoC) as last year. I want to begin working early and look for some ideas.
Nowadays, Google App Engine(GAE) is very popular and I think implementing GAE support for MyFaces can be a good project. What I mean is, running MyFaces on GAE out of box with some context params like Mojarra's "com.sun.faces.enableMultiThreadedStartup" context parameter. (Mojarra developers added this parameter but Mojarra cannot be run out of box only with this change without some patched Jars.) Many people wrote articles<http://java.dzone.com/news/jsf2-configuration-google-app?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+javalobby%2Ffrontpage+%28Javalobby+%2F+Java+Zone%29&utm_content=Google+Reader>about running JSF on GAE but, they include a patched JAR in their solutions. There is a mail-list thread<http://markmail.org/message/x6hovjqeztkgucur?q=google+engine+list:org.apache.myfaces.users+order:date-backward&page=1>about GAE suppos rt, however GAE *now* supports Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1, which is necessar<http://myfaces.apache.org/core20/index.html>y to run MyFaces Core JSF-2.0. I couldnt find other discussion about GAE in MyFaces mail-lists. Can you give me some other ideas? I looked into some issues at the issue tracker but I couldn't find an issue that can be a GSoC project. And I search for any possible mentors. Cheers, Ali
