Dear All, I'd like to take part in the "tomcat-1-valves2filters" project of Google Summer Code of 2009. Could you provide me some more information? I think we already have complete test suits for those valves, so if I could get the chance to participate in this project, I'll replace those valves one by one. After finish each valve, I'll test if I break something. Could someone provide me some more information of this project?
Here is my Biography: I'm Xie Xiaodong, come from China. Now I'm in Sweden, pursuing my second Master Degree on Software Engineering of Distributed Systems in Royal Institute of Technology. Before I came to Sweden, I worked for an famous online payment company in China for one and a half years. I'm quite familiar with Servlet Specification and Development of Web application using Servlet technology. I'm also familiar with many kinds of frameworks such as Spring, Hibernate, Ibatis and so on. When I was at school in China for my first Master Degree, I took part in a project which was an information system on aquaculture. In this project, my role was the architect and main developer. This project was based on J2EE architecture, used many open-source frameworks, such as Spring, Hibernate, SiteMesh, iText, JFreechart, AjaxAnywhere and Quartz. This project was deployed on Tomcat. So I like this Web Container very much since it is easy to use, and you can find many documentation for it on the Internet. It will be very proud for me to take part in the development of Tomcat. Thank you for your concerning. -- Sincerely yours and Best Regards, Xie Xiaodong
