First, the news.

Michelle Caisse and Michael Bouschen have been elected to the DB PMC.

Congratulations to both of them for this vote of confidence in their contributions.

Agenda:

1. Test status (Michael) 1154 tests, 4 failures, 2 errors; 4 of 48 configurations fail. The errors are due to the joined subclass strategy that JPOX does not support. The failures have JIRA issues reported.

2. New tests status (Martin) The ThreadSafe class only tests one multithread feature. The intent is to add three more methods to the test to test that PersistenceManagerFactory.getPersistenceManager is thread safe, and PersistenceManager.makePersistent on the same instance is thread safe.

A new JIRA JDO-299 has been added to add a signature test for the jdo api jar. In case a vendor creates their own implementation of the javax.jdo classes and interfaces, these need to be verified. This is to cover the JCP requirement that the specified interfaces must not be subsetted or supersetted.

Martin has assigned several of the open new test cases to himself.

3. Other issues (any and all)

Release planning: We're targeting the end of February to submit the JSR 243 package to the JCP. The spec has to be final but the TCK and RI don't have to be perfect. AI Craig: propose the release schedule and details.

JDO-246 There is a discussion about how to project Map and Collection field types. Craig is inclined to disallow these. AI Craig: respond to mail.

Action Items from weeks past:

[Feb 3 2005] AI Michelle propose a release test plan and start a wiki page. Michelle has put a wiki called ReleaseTesting for review. One issue is how to get coverage for platforms. We want to put the platform under test (operating system, java version, etc.) into the test results. AI Michelle work out how to do this.

[Feb 3 2005] Martin checked into the NoClassDefFoundError thrown during Class.forName. The result is that JDO implementations should catch not only ClassNotFoundException but in general LinkageError. Any of these Throwables should mean that the class does not exist. This issue came up during resolution of a name in a JDOQL query. The JDO implementation should use "class does not exist" to indicate that the name is not a class. JDO-194 has all the details. AI Craig: update the bug report and add a new test method for this condition. Done.

[Feb 3 2006] AI Michael W fix list of teardown classes in company model reader. JDO-285. But this fix cannot be checked in until JPOX is fixed.

[Jan 20 2005] AI Craig look at new life cycle tests to see if it can fail at the end printing failure messages. AI Craig review the spec updates to make sure the test is consistent. AI Craig: resolve the test case and spec issues.

[Jan 20 2005] AI Michelle update the JDO releases page to point to mirrors for download. AI Craig check in the released beta artifacts to the JDO maven repository (create a new releases directory parallel to trunk and branches).

[Jan 13 2005] AI Martin look at the enhancement tests for completeness (JDO-64).

[Jan 6 2005] AI: Michael: need to add a public static final field in a public class to test fully qualified class name static field in query.

[Dec 23 2005] Query tests (Michael B) Looking at JDO-194 errors on Windows that don't happen on Linux. Might be a JRE bug. AI Martin file a Java bug so we know that there is a Java issue.

[Dec 23 2005] Fetch depth discussion: The spec needs more information than is there in the PFD. AI Craig get more jdo experts involved in the discussion. In progress. The spec has been updated. Done.

[Dec 9 2005]: Nontransactional write semantics appear to differ between optimistic and datastore transactions. Is this intentional? AI: Craig discuss with expert group. Done. It is intentional. [Dec 2 2005] Inheritance 3 fails. Optimization of inheritance 1 where there is no table for abstract classes. JPOX doesn't support it. AI Craig: discuss this mapping with expert group. It might be an optional feature.

[Nov 18 2005] AI: BEA to sign the donation paperwork for their test suite. Review how to merge their test cases into JDO TCK.

[Nov 4 2005] AI Martin: Update Martin's wiki with discusion of JDK 1.5 issues. in progress

[Oct 14 2005] AI: Michelle distill the mapping support that JPOX has into a list of features that are/are not supported.

[Sep 2 2005] AI: To recruit members, update the web site. Articles on TheServerSide directing attention to the site. T-shirts, logo. AI: Craig write a ServerSide article.

[July 29 2005] AI: Michelle Chapter 18 wiki needs to be updated to include all JDO metadata elements and attributes. [not done]

April 15 2005] AI: Brian Topping will do the maven goal for creating and uploading the snapshots. He will create a directory parallel to trunk called "releases" and put the snapshots there.

[May 13 2005] AI: Brian Topping will arrange for automated nightly builds.
