Just for other geronimo folks who couldn't make the BOF at ApacheCon (shame! it was great, as is the conference as a whole!) I'd just like to mention that we might wanna look at JORAM as a JMS implementation for Geronimo.
Right now JORAM is LGPL so the ASF wouldn't be able to distribute it as a part of Geronimo - or to certify it - though there is a chance the LGPL could be changed to BSD- Jean-Pierre said he's gonna try change it if we're interested.
It'd be nice if someone in the geronimo community could take a look at integrating JORAM into Geronimo (I here the JCA connectors are looking good) then we could try out Geronimo with a full 1.1 JMS provider. (We should do the same with openjms when it reaches 1.1 as well).
I've been looking for something to do, so if no one else has decided to tackle this while I was flying home, I volunteer.
Great stuff.
Incidentally I read through some of the other Objectweb projects on the plane back from Vegas; there's a bunch of other projects that we should take a look at. Admitedly lots of them are *GPL though if we were to ask really nicely you never know...
So as well as JOTM and JORAM we might also wanna look at...
* C-JDBC - clustered JDBC, pretty handy
* JORM (object repository mapping; could be handy for a CMP / JDO implementation)
* johnathan - an ORB if we need one for certification
* kilim - configuration framework (have only read the glossy - have no idea what this means :)
* fractal composition framework - is there anything we can learn here & maybe bridge things
Anyways those were the projects that piqued my interest - lets dive in & see whats there that we can reuse & work with.
