Jody, I have renamed the DataAccess proposal and now propose it as GSIP 31. http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+31+-+Use+DataAccess+API
Note that the proposal is not specific to app-schema. It proposes support for all DataAccess implementations. I have also created a container Jira issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2568 It is my intent that the work be incremental and preserve existing behaviour wherever possible. In particular, we want to maintain the existing performance and simplicity of DataStore/SimpleFeature. Preliminary analysis (and some test implementations) suggest that Catalog requires no changes. The initial work will comprise changes in ResourcePool, (catalog) DataStoreInfo, and (catalog) FeatureTypeInfo, their implementations and consumers. I will submit a patch. Open questions: - What is the future of the vfny DataStoreInfo and vfny FeatureTypeInfo classes? These are @deprecated but widely used. Are these to be retained or should they or their consumers be refactored? - Should DataStoreFinder/DataAccessFinder be retained as separate classes or merged? (Here we are drifting into GeoTools). - Which service modules are to be migrated first? Do we have any volunteers? Other classes that may require work are RetypingDataStore, FeatureTypes, and GeoServerFeatureLocking. No doubt, as the implementation proceeds, more opportunities for scope expansion will become apparent. :-) Tasks related to GSIP 31 should subtasks of GEOS-2568, to facilitate communication.
