Serge,
Not sure what is running on nagoya, but Brian had indicated that he'd like
to be able to run James on FreeBSD, and I don't know when JDK 1.4 will be on
that platform.
So let's look at the items for JDK 1.4:
> - JNDI DNS Service
Not sure how much this practically buys us. Your thoughts? Can we make use
of this optionally?
> - JDBC v3
The primary benefit we want is pooling, for which we can use DBCP, but I
think we should make sure that someone with JDK 1.4 can substitute JDBC v3
transparently, so we have to be careful about what interfaces we expose.
> - Better networking
We can do without it for now.
> - java.nio (too bad NBIO isn't more portable; we should look a SEDA,
too)
Since java.nio doesn't support TLS, yet, we can't use it anyway. But we
should design the handlers as if we were using non-blocking I/O, even though
we don't switch yet.
So perhaps we can stay with JDK 1.3, but I think that we ought to keep an
eye on where things are going, and allow such things as replacing DBCP with
JDBC v3 transparently.
What other benefits from JDK 1.4 API changes might be of key interest for
James v3?
