More painfully, the Latka site has also been updated locally and has cvs

DBCP, Pool, HttpClient could all just copy the files on minotaur over to a

Latka needs more juggling.

[digester] new rule SetNestedPropertiesRule

2003-11-17 Thread Simon Kitching
Hi,

Attached is a rule which behaves like a cross between SetPropertiesRule
and BeanPropertySetterRule-with-trailing-wildcard-match.

point
  x7/x
  y8/y
/point

digester.addRule(point, new SetNestedPropertiesRule());

Note that the rule doesn't need to use ExtendedBaseRules with trailing
wildcard (which is very powerful but not very efficient). It is
configured with the pattern matching the parent element.

The implementation uses a trick developed for the plugins module:
inserting a decorator Rules object that performs custom matching to
detect the direct child elements.

Yes, this functionality can already be achieved with Digester, but this
is pretty efficient and convenient, and this configuration pattern is a
common one.


Opinions??

Regards,

Simon

I should mention that this rule comes in very useful when using the
Plugins module. That module does not permit any wildcards in patterns
below plugin mount points. So the BeanPropertySetterRule + trailing
wildcards solution cannot be used, but this solution can.

[digester] two very simple plugins patches

2003-11-17 Thread Simon Kitching
Hi,

The first attached patch is just a fix for a minor javadoc problem
introduced in an earlier patch.



The second patch is perhaps more controversial: it allows a leading
slash on patterns for the PluginRules class.

ie /root/item is treated just like root/item.

This is useful because plugin classes usually do something like this:
  digester.add(basePattern + /mychildtag);

If the base pattern is , then the pattern ends up with a leading
slash, which is not good.

This patch definitely does *not* alter the behaviour of any code outside
plugins (though I think it would be nice for all the Rules classes to
allow leading slashes anyway).

Regards,

Simon

Ditto. Am prepared to put time into achieving a common lf for Commons.

Couple of complaints about Maven:

1) I don't want to have to build every project [ie figure out weird Sun
dependencies] just to push up a global site change. I can accept this
though.

2) The standard 'project documentation' section gets placed at the bottom
when it's the most important information for a specific project. We
replicate most of this in other sections. This replication can be a bit
odd though, ie) contributors page and the maven generated project team
page.

I assume you are talking about the docs at

not maintained in CVS.  It is generated via Maven and published with 
maven site:deploy.  What are you planning to do with the docs here?

It depends on the complexity of the stuff potentially being prepared
for logging. I don't think [math] is already complex enough that
built-in logging is warranted. The implemented algorithms should be
reasonably fail-safe for the most part. Failures could be sensibly
handled with exceptions, and data for tracking down the problem (e.g.
convergence problems in the solver) should be available. If not, this
should be corrected of course.
The issues where I found Logging occurring where in situations such as 
this catch in GammaDistributionImpl

/**

 * @param x the value at which the PDF is evaluated.
 * @return PDF for this distribution.

I removed instances of this Logging entry in an earlier commit. I think 
awhile back there was allot of discussion about if this should throw an 
exception or return NaN. The origin of this exception is a Convergence 
Exception in ContinuedFraction. The big question is the same as before, 
should this convergence exception be passed out and handled by the 
application or should it be suppressed internally the way it is here?

  Severity: Minor

The CollectionWrapper inner class (part of CollectionUtils) should implement 
Serializable.  This would allow the creation of serializable lists in the event 
that the user needs this functionality.  Making this change would assume that 
all the objects contained in the list were serializable (not a big deal IMO.)

I discovered this problem when using ListUtils.lazyList() method.  The 
resulting list is not serializable and I need it to be.

  1) I don't want to have to build every project [ie figure out weird 
  Sun dependencies] just to push up a global site change. I 
 can accept 
  this though.
 
 I know diddly about the multi-project capabilities of Maven 
 at this point, but I'm kinda hoping it will take care of this 
 kind of thing...
 

No, the problem with Sun dependencies is that, at present, Maven is not
allowed to automatically download them from a publicly accessible
repository. However, this is just something each person needs to setup once
(eg download/obtain javamail 1.2 and put it into
$HOME/.maven/repository/javamail/jars/javamail-1.2.jar), and most of the
JARs are probably lying around on your system somewhere anyway :)

Cheers,
Brett

  Clazz is an upgrade to the Java Beans mechanisms, reflecting new
  requirements, new de facto standards and a wider range of potential
  applications.

  Introduced by Stephen Colebourne, here's the initial list of
  requirements (lifted from PROPOSAL.html):
/p
p
  The package should:
/p
p
  ul
  liHandle all classes, not just beans/li
  liSupport extensible metadata (not just for GUI builders)/li
  liHandle normal (today) bean conventions (get/set/add/put methods)/li
  liHandle future conventions that are not yet standard/li

  liProvide a complete alternative to using java.beans.Introspector/li

  lt;TBDgt; - requirements contributed by potential users of clazz
  go here.

/subsection
  /section
  
  section name=Clazz Class
p
  The best way to introduce the Clazz class is by comparing it to the
  java.lang.Class class.  Though both serve the same function as runtime 
  meta-data about a type, there are several important differences:
  ul
li
  Class is a final class embedded in the JVM. Its behavior cannot be 
  customized or enhanced.  Clazz is an abstract class 
  and allows many alternative implementations.
/li
li
  Class describes a Java type in terms of fields, methods and 
constructors. 
  Clazz describes a type in terms of properties, operations
  and instance factories.  In the case when a Clazz represents a Java 
class,
  those properties, operations and instance factories may or may not map 
  directly to fields, methods and constructors.  The mapping is determined 
by the
  implementation of the Clazz and can be quite non-trivial. For example,
  a Clazz may map pairs of Java methods like getFoo() and setFoo() to a 
  single property called foo. There may be many ways to describe the same
  Java class with a Clazz.
/li
li
  Class is restricted to describing Java types. 
  Clazz does not have that limitation.  A Clazz can be created dynamically 
out 
  of piece parts.
/li
  /ul
/p
  /section
  
  section name=Client Side of Clazz
p
  The client sees Clazz as a set of interfaces.
  The following code illustrates a basic interaction between a 
  client and the Clazz package:
/p

  !-- + SOURCE + --
  source
 b/
  public class MyExample1 {
  
 void listAllOperations(){
 
   // Step 1. Obtain the ClazzLoader associated with the default 
   // clazz model. Provide a ClassLoader as a context 
   // for reflection.
   ClazzLoader clazzLoader = 
   Clazz.getDefaultClazzLoader(MyExample1.class.getClassLoader());
  
   // Step 2. Find the Clazz
   Clazz clazz = clazzLoader.getClazzForName(my.example.Example);
   
   // Step 3. Obtain operation descriptions from the clazz
   List operations = clazz.getOperations();
  
   for (Iterator iter = operations.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
ClazzOperation operation = (ClazzOperation) iter.next();

  p
bJJAR/b is an acronym for Jakarta JAR Archive Repository, 
an attempt at making a a href=http://www.cpan.org;CPAN/a-like
service/infrastructure for the Java development community.
  /p
  
  p
  bNote :/b iUntil JJAR is officially in production, no guarantees
  will be made as to the correctness of the delivered jars.  Best
  efforts will be made, but at any time, what you get might not be
  what you want./i
  /p
  
  p
Currently, JJAR is an experimental work in progress.  It does
work as advertised, and every effort is being made to ensure
that it works at any point in time.  However, as we are learning
about what works and what doesn't, change will happen.  Further
this is currently not an official Jakarta Commons project, but
a well-organized sandbox project.  Therefore, production dependencies
are discouraged.
  /p
  
  p
  bRepeat :/b i JJAR is neither an official Jakarta project, nor an 
  official Jakarta Commons project.  This document may have been
  found via a http://jakarta.apache.org/jjar/ link - it is there for
  information purposes for the repository./i
  /p
  
  p
Ok.  Now that that's over, simply put, JJAR consists of two parts :
  /p
  
  ul
li
A distributed repository consisting of jars from various
projects (which we call ipackages/i)
 as well as version and dependency information about
those packages.   This logical repository consists of
a central main repository, and any number of sub-repositories,
each responsible for a given project (or projects.)
/li
li
A toolset to allow the navigation and fetching from this repository,
as well as direct access to repository information, such as 
project dependencies.
/li
  /ul
  
  p
Together, these two parts [hopefully] make up a complete system
for package management and delivery for building Java applications.
  /p
  /section
  
  section name=The Repository
 
  p
  As currently defined, a repository physically consists of a directory
  containing a irepository descriptor/i, an XML file containing 
  repository information, and a set of jars described by that descriptor.
  /p
  
  p
  There is no strict requirement as to how a repository is implemented. 
  The expected common implementation will be via http through a regular
  web server (no server-side programmatic support will be required.)
  However, in the case of local or enterprise use, it is expected that
  local file access will be enough.  The technical limitation will be 
  that there is a protocol handler for the access method of choice.
  /p
  
  p
  The central repository will be located on http://jakarta.apache.org/jjar/.  
  The central repository will contain information on any project that 
  does not want to host it's own repository.  For any project that does
  host it's own repository (a iremote repository/i), 
  the central repository will simply contain 
  information about the remote repository.  The JJAR toolkit will use this
  information to tie the central and remote repositories together in a 
  seamless manner.
  /p
  
  p
  The repository is distributed for several reasons :
  /p
  
  ul
li
  This reduces the maintenance load on the Jakarta volunteers that
  manage JJAR.
/li
li
  It allows easy inclusion of non-Jakarta projects.
/li
li
  It allows the developers of

Web Presence for ALL Jakarta Commons components = updates for cache, clazz, jjar

2003-11-17 Thread Dirk Verbeeck
Previews here:
http://cvs.apache.org/~dirkv/cache/
http://cvs.apache.org/~dirkv/clazz/
http://cvs.apache.org/~dirkv/jjar/
cache is a totally new site that follows the dbcp/pool style
clazz  jjar had some existing content and I did just some minimal fix to make 
them buildable. (restyle can be done later)

If there are no objections I'll push them to the site tomorrow.

That sounds kinda cynical ;-)

My ultimate sentiment is to just get it passed on out and let the 
application manage exceptions dealing with non-convergence. Maybe thats 
the simplest possible comprimise? Then the user can decide what they 
will do when convergence fails instead of having the application 
suppress the exception and force them to test for NaN conditions all the 
time?

Well, here's a basic SVG logo.  Perhaps someone else could come up with a better
font (I'm using verdana) and the script to convert it to png or jpg.

Something like this might be a nice little plugin for maven.

By no means !

My ultimate sentiment is to just get it passed on out and let the 
application manage exceptions dealing with non-convergence. Maybe thats 
the simplest possible comprimise? Then the user can decide what they 
will do when convergence fails instead of having the application 
suppress the exception and force them to test for NaN conditions all the 
time?
But I would expect that it is not the application itself and not even 
the user which will receive the NaN but some other, say a 
graph-component (they should be quite happy with that), or something else...

I had a case recently where I made a little integrer calculator offering 
+-*/ within a kind of console. And it turned out was important for this 
usage to have a message that said that the 7 was not dividable by 3. 
Having NaN somewhere (hence everywhere with these operations) would 
have just told the user something like Huh ?.

(plus some people tend even to indicate wether this is positive-zero or 
negative-zero (when doing elementary limits) which would yeald us 
positive-NaN or negative-NaN !!).

But maybe I'm going too far... sorry...

As a developer I would like to get it configurable. But I guess I'd 
be hated by people of requesting so...

Returning NaN is almost certain to raise some exception later, or ?


That sounds kinda cynical ;-)


By no means !

My ultimate sentiment is to just get it passed on out and let the 
application manage exceptions dealing with non-convergence. Maybe 
thats the simplest possible comprimise? Then the user can decide what 
they will do when convergence fails instead of having the application 
suppress the exception and force them to test for NaN conditions all 
the time?


But I would expect that it is not the application itself and not even 
the user which will receive the NaN but some other, say a 
graph-component (they should be quite happy with that), or something 
else...

I had a case recently where I made a little integrer calculator offering 
+-*/ within a kind of console. And it turned out was important for this 
usage to have a message that said that the 7 was not dividable by 3. 
Having NaN somewhere (hence everywhere with these operations) would 
have just told the user something like Huh ?.

(plus some people tend even to indicate wether this is positive-zero or 
negative-zero (when doing elementary limits) which would yeald us 
positive-NaN or negative-NaN !!).

But maybe I'm going too far... sorry...

Paul

No, not too far at all, thats a great usage example for why exceptions 
here may be more beneficial in the long run!

[PATCH] Fix for spelling typos in UserGuide

2003-11-17 Thread Doug Bateman
Title: Message



While checking 
out some of the commons projects I saw the announcement 
thatapache.commons.math just graduated from the sandbox. 
Congratulations! During my 5 second tour of the docs,I aminor 
yet glaring typo in the users guide. That is unless you really did mean to 
misspell"org.apache.commons.matn.utitlities". Anyway, this patch 
should fix it.

Great job on 
the project! This is some great stuff!

I think the version attribute must be 1.0 and not 1 in the svg file. At

  Lots of (sandbox) components don't have a logo yet.
  Therefor it would be nice to have a tool to auto create logos like:

  Are there some svg artists out there willing to help a hand?
 
  We need a white on blue Commons logo as well.

 Well, here's a basic SVG logo.  Perhaps someone else could come up with a
 better
 font (I'm using verdana) and the script to convert it to png or jpg.
 
 Something like this might be a nice little plugin for maven.

 No, the problem with Sun dependencies is that, at present, Maven is not
 allowed to automatically download them from a publicly accessible

 setup once

Currently the jakarta commons File Upload assumes that the default platform 
character encoding is iso-8859-1(or some variant), which is not always the case 
causing it to operate incorrectly.  Below I have identified all classes that do 
not support multiple types of encoding.  I have put together a solution below 
that points out the majority of areas that require the encoding to be 
specified.  I realize that this is not the most efficient code, but I leave 
that up to you to implement it the best way.  Please let me know if this is an 
acceptable solution and when a new release could be made.

The various authentication methods should be tested against servlets in 
the Test-Webapp. As to proxies, we must implement a couple of tiny local 
servers running on different ports. Like:

TCP 81: Proxy

Those servers should be started and stopped by the test fixtures (setup

Re: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 24352] - NLTM Proxy and basic host authorization

2003-11-17 Thread Eric Johnson
My take is slightly different (and I wish I had time to implement it)

Start by virtualizing the access to the connection, and then, rather 
than having multiple servers, just have different implementations of a 
virtualized socket interface, for example. Then see to writing test 
cases that look something like this:

# This marks what the server is supposed to receive, note that this is not
# literally what is received, because headers might be sent in a 
different order
# for example.
GET /foo HTTP/1.1
@Host: http://localhost:8080
@Content-Length: 30
@End-Headers
# Note that on content lines, the CRLF (or just LF) should be
# discarded. Instead, CRLF pairs should be explicitly encoded, perhaps
# with %CRLF%? Content should (must?) allow substitutions, for example
# multi-part boundaries. Perhaps do substitution with something like
# %BOUNDARY%
@Content:
Content goes here
# the following would wait for three seconds before sending more
# content...
@Wait: 3000
@Content:
Yet more content here...
HTTP/1.1
# Note, here since the test case knows the response it is supposed to
# send, it can (by and large) simply send it.
@Content:
.

and so on

I spend a lot of time working with XML, so I thought about doing some 
sort of test-framework like the above using XML instead. which would get 
rid of some of the bizarre syntax that I suggest above, but I'm not sure 
whether that makes sense in the context of HttpClient.

My idea would be to take cases where we want to talk to actual servers, 
and replace them with test cases like the above, wherein we could 
mimick (or exactly duplicate) the odd behavior of various servers.

Hopefully this gives someone else an idea

virtualized socket interface, for example. 
Eric, we can easily implement that by writing a special connection 
manager or socket factory. No need to introduce addition abstraction 
here. Socket is already a nice interface :-)

Re: Does HttpClient decompress compressed HTTP transfers?

2003-11-17 Thread Sam Berlin
It'd be rather easy to wrap the streams in a DeflaterOutputStream or an 
InflaterInputStream.  Of course, due to limitations in Java's deflate 
compression, one must extend DeflaterOutputStream to allow true stream 
deflation.  The problem with the current implementation is that there is 
no way to flush a partially deflated stream -- deflate waits until it 
reaches an optimal spot to actually perform the deflation and do the 
flush.  You can see  
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4255743.html and 
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4206909.html .  
In LimeWire we worked around this by using a workaround listed on those 
pages: having a class 'CompressingOutputStream' that extends 
DeflaterOutputStream, using the following as the flush method:

   private static final byte [] EMPTYBYTEARRAY = new byte [0];

   /**
* Ensure all remaining data will be output.
*/
   public void flush() throws IOException {
   if( def.finished() ) return;
  
   /**
* Now this is tricky: We force the Deflater to flush
* its data by switching compression level.
* As yet, a perplexingly simple workaround for
* 
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4255743.html
*/
   def.setInput(EMPTYBYTEARRAY, 0, 0);

   def.setLevel(Deflater.NO_COMPRESSION);
   deflate();
   def.setLevel(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION);
   deflate();
   super.flush();
   }
The other thing you have to be careful of when using 
DeflaterOutputStream or InflaterInputStream is spurious 
NullPointerExceptions from native code if the connection happens to 
close while a deflate/inflate is being performed.  We worked around that 
particular problem by extending the 'read' of the InflaterInputStream 
and the 'deflate' call of the DeflaterOutputStream to catch an NPE and 
rethrow an IOX.

Thanks,
Sam

Re: Keeping Connections Alive

2003-11-17 Thread Sam Berlin
Hi Mike,

Using a listener seems like an interesting idea, although I don't quite 
see the rationale behind it.  MTCM (well, CM's in general really) seem 
to be designed specifiically for this purpose: to manage http 
connections.  Having an observable interface to HttpConnection would 
require adding new methods that notify HttpConnection when it is 
assigned/active, as currently the 'releaseConnection' method basically 
delegates the call to the HttpConnectionManager that is managing it, 
leaving HttpConnection as stateless as possible.  Perhaps the 
HttpConnectionManager can actually have the task of informing the 
observers of the HttpConnection about its status -- that would remove 
any need to add extraneous methods and state to HttpConnection (other 
than a way of setting/getting listeners).  Of course, it might actually 
be a good idea to add this state information to HttpConnection for other 
reasons (that I can't think of at the moment).

Thanks,
Sam

Re: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 24560] - HttpClient loops endlessly while trying to retrieve status line

2003-11-17 Thread Oleg Kalnichevski
Odi,
That would be REALLY cool! A simple authenticating proxy (or a proxy
that could effectively 'fake' popular authentication schemes) would be a
very much appreciated contribution. By the way, have a look at the
Christian Kohlschütter's SimpleHttpServer:
 
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=9066

I think that can be a good starting point for a better framework than
SimpleHttpconnection.

 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-11-17 14:00 ---
 Oleg,
 
 thank you for reviewing my patch.
 
 I think the reviewed version is OK in general (AFAICS from the diff - I haven't
 applied it yet). Just a few comments (new ideas?) by me:
 
 In my opinion, strict mode should be very pedantic about standards compliance.
 HttpClient should notify the user wherever a problematic, non-standards
 situation is detected.
 
 Of course, trailing whitespace should be silently ignored, but any other
 characters should be regarded as unexpected (is there a section in RFC 2616
 for that? I haven't found it yet).
 
 The question is: Is (non-whitespace) garbage following the response (caused by a
 wrong Content-Length header, for example) unexpected enough?
 
 In your version of the patch, there is no chance to get informed about such a
 situation - and in 'lenient' mode, the detection is disabled completely (did you
 check the TestBadContentLength testcase? does it pass?).
 
 Regarding the ProtocolException/ResponseConsumedWatcher thing, of course, it
 _is_ a workaround to get that Exception thrown to the caller. However, I would
 appreciate it if the user _would_ receive that Exception (somehow).
 
 I even think it is not such a bad idea to keep that in responseConsumed(), just
 to inform every HttpClient component that there was an error while reading the
 response (the interface is not public, anyway). Instead of throwing an
 Exception, we could also have a boolean without/with errors return value, of
 course...
 
 In short, I would prefer the following behaviour:
 
 - For any mode: If garbage is detected, read (up to a certain limit of bytes
 N) until end of garbage (maximum of N bytes) or until a non-whitespace
 character is received; N is something  10 (should be user-definable).
 
 - For any mode, close the connection (the conncetion is definitely unreliable).
 
 - For strict mode, throw a ProtocolException if anything else but whitespace has
 been received.
 
 - (Optionally) introduce an extra pedantic mode (inherits strict mode) and
 throw a ProtocolException even if N bytes of _whitespace_ garbage have been
 received.
 
 
 Best regards,
 
 Christian

Re: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 24560] - HttpClient loops endlessly while trying to retrieve status line

2003-11-17 Thread Oleg Kalnichevski
Christian, see my comments in-line
 In my opinion, strict mode should be very pedantic about standards compliance.
 HttpClient should notify the user wherever a problematic, non-standards
 situation is detected.
 

I do not mind being over-pedantic, but not at the expense of code
quality. My personal impression was that throwing a protocol exception
from responseConsumed required too much of an ugly plumbing. I believe
that a big fat log warning should be enough. A protocol exception thrown
from responseConsumed would not make HttpClient more reliable (dirty
connection would be dropped, anyway), it would just make it, well, more
pedantic. That is it.


 Of course, trailing whitespace should be silently ignored, but any other
 characters should be regarded as unexpected (is there a section in RFC 2616
 for that? I haven't found it yet).

This is what RFC has to say:
quote
In the interest of robustness, servers SHOULD ignore any empty line(s)
received where a Request-Line is expected. In other words, if the server
is reading the protocol stream at the beginning of a message and
receives a CRLF first, it should ignore the CRLF.
/quote
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.1

I have not found any mentioning of unexpected content in the RFC, so
this is another reason why I would be a bit cautious about throwing a
protocol exception. It would suffice to spit out a warning, drop the
connection and move on.

Folks, any strong options on this issue

Mike,
I set up Apache http server 2.0.48 on Win2K (Prof), enabled digest
authentication for a directory, and created an user account with a password
containing German umlauts. I hit the URL with Mozilla Firebird 0.7 and attempted
to authenticate using the password. It did not work. I may know why.

If the RFC 2617 is to be strictly adhered to, only ASCII characters in passwords
should be allowed for basic  digest authentication 

RFC 2617, Section 2: Basic Authentication Scheme
quote
  basic-credentials = base64-user-pass
  base64-user-pass  = base64 [4] encoding of user-pass,
  except not limited to 76 char/line
  user-pass   = userid : password
  userid  = *TEXT excluding :
  password= *TEXT
/quote

RFC 822 defines TEXT as 
quote
 text=  any CHAR, including bare; = atoms, specials,
 CR  bare LF, but NOT   ;  comments and
 including CRLF ;  quoted-strings are
 ;  NOT recognized.
/quote

RFC 822 defines TEXT as 
quote
 ; (  Octal, Decimal.)
 CHAR=  any ASCII character; (  0-177,  0.-127.)
/quote

However, I do think that in this instance the spec is too restrictive and we
should be using ISO-8859-1 instead of ASCII. So, I reopen the bug. Sorry for
having closed it prematurely

Oleg,

No worries about closing the bug.  I was a little slow in getting to it.

I agree.  I think we should be using 8859-1 instead of ASCII.  The following section 
from RFC 2616 
seems to imply that TEXT should be 8859-1, though it is a little vague:

The TEXT rule is only used for descriptive field contents and values that are not 
intended to be 
interpreted by the message parser. Words of *TEXT MAY contain characters from 
character sets 
other than ISO- 8859-1 [22] only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047draft 
[14].

TEXT := any OCTET except CTLs, but including LWS


Either way I think digest needs to be fixed.  I will create a patch.

I think a combination of these techniques would be great.  One level to

Re: Keeping Connections Alive

2003-11-17 Thread Michael Becke
Hi Sam,

My thought, probably not well articulated, was to add the ability to 
observe and interact with the status of HttpConnections.  This would 
allow for classes other that the connection managers to play a hand in 
the connection management.  Another possibility would be to have a 
HttpConnectionFactory that is responsible for creating connections and 
is also notified by the connection manager of connection state changes. 
 In general I would like to add plugin support to the connection 
management process.  I think composition of functionality using the 
connection managers and various plugins will allow for greater 
flexibility.
