EJB sucks. JSP sucks. JCP sucks. Struts sucks. JSTL sucks. People are going
to start to look for real solutions to their problems. Not just marketing
hype and bullshit business practices.

[OT] Re: Open ThunderGraph in Jakarta ?

2003-01-28 Thread Micael
Good dialogue.

At 04:32 PM 1/28/03 +0100, you wrote:

I have reservations:


Let's go...


1) It's definitely a GUI focused project. Jakarta as a project has not yet
made any moves to support Java projects which do not have some form of
server aspect. Just as DB based Java projects are going into
db.apache.org, I think there ought to be a gui.apache.org [better name
needed] for this kind of thing.


TG is not 100% GUI oriented since it could be used to produce graphics
in a server side environment, and as such works great with tomcats.


2) This is a bit like a company looking at using Product X. If Jakarta is
inviting projects in, what are the criteria. Why is ThunderGraph better
than the alternatives?


There is alternative, like JOpenGraph, but they don't want to switch
from GPL/LGPL to BSD/ASF, which is a pre-requisite ;)


Rather than digesting ThunderGraph into Jakarta, it'd be nice to see
Apache backing some form of ASF-way-like community for gui'd components,
ie) gui taglibs [we currently do quite abstract taglibs], components,
applets etc.


How can it be realised ?
ASF umbrella is very attractive to developpers and there is a great
community which may find interesting to be involved in gui projects.

Couldn't we have TG and others GUI related projects under jakarta-commons 
or in a related structure, ie jakarta-guis ?

If we're 'acquiring projects', I think we need some rules of acquisition.
Sorry for such a negative reply,


I'll live with it.

 Get special permission from Sun, and don't plan on having public

 Sun, nor Redhat, nor Debian,...

 I love open source and the idea of a bunch of people working
 together for a common goal, but I also think that if someone
 wants to make a living off of selling thier product, and not
 support, then they should be allowed to keep their code to
 themselves.  Sometimes I wonder if Sun would whine about

Definitely templating is not an elegant approach, but it works. At least
Tea and Velocity are not compiled straight into Java Code (therefore

More than separation of concerns using something better compared to JSP is
a headache wonder (go and try to figure out where an OutOfMemoryException
comes from, just to discover that in one of your 5000 JSPs you have an idiot
playing around with Sessions, or why your database is hosed, and find out
that some other lame creep is forgetting to call connection.close()...
Arrrggghh)...

JSPs are the root of all evil because HTMLers think to have the power (and
obligation, after a while) to blatantly destroy your entire container in
less than 2 minutes of uptime... To that respect, even ASP are better...

Re: Java is dead... but it could still be saved!

Let's see: Microsoft is going to be a better deal in terms of open code 
than Sun Microsystems?  Hmmm?  Guess I must have missed the banana boat on 
this one.

I guess since I am fed up because Sun won't let me have free rein with 
their code, I should ballyhoo C#, which will be 100 times more 
restrictive.  Yah, that's the ticket.  Why don't we get a dialogue going on 
why Sun is doing what it is doing and work towards solving the problem 
rather than supporting Mickey Mouse who would trade us for a pad of butter, 
if it were not for Sun's competition looming in the background.

The Java people are not running scared - however many are fed up with the

Theres plenty of crap features in java that could be easily fixed given an

  Let's look on it positively, a bit of competition for Java/Sun is perhaps
  no bad thing in itself :-) But already to be thinking about swinging to C#
  is a bit premature don't you think?

Whos thinking? Of the two Apache projects that I am most involved with - both
already have C# ports of parts or all of them. There is ongoing porting of
other parts of these projects aswell.  There is also external ports of other
projects I rely upon (namely a net port of junit). When the time comes when I
am forced to switch then it will be easy enough to do.

I don't plan to ditch java just yet. JDK1.5 will contain enough improvements
in the core framework that it will be good enough for almost all my needs.
However thats a long way off - if the mono team or one of the other
opensource C# clones were to get hald as good as java is now then I would
definetly consider switchin - and I know a lot of other people who would also
do so.

Its about putting control back into the developers hands and all really
depends on the way Sun handles it from here on in.

Why do you say that, Micael?

It would be inconsistent to post this to all the USER or DEV lists, but,

I believe the General list is a place where we can talk about ourselves.
If anything, discouraging open communication about who we are and what
we do would be inconsistent with our tenets.


Well, Ted, guess you the man!  The vote is in your pocket.  Discussing who 
we are and what we do is now a part of these postings.  A surprise to me, 
but what the hay, I am open to change.  I don't think that I would

I'm studying international business administration at the University of
Vienna. My majors are organization and planning. Currently I´m writing my
thesis on organizational culture in virtual organizations.
At the beginning of this work (spring or summer 2001) I had to answer two
questions:
1. What is a virtual organization?
2. How will I be able to measure culture?
The first question was answered by defining a specific form of virtual
organization, which structure looks very much like apache and all its
sub-projects. The second question could not be answered - so I decided to go
for a qualitative research - trying to describe a special type of culture
rather than measure it.
To generate data from the field, qualitative researches offer and recommend
to use multiple methods and techniques to gain a wide view of several
aspects:
a) Group discussion - which can be done here = the questions following
below should serve as startingpoint. the ones with the * are even more
optional.
b) Observations - which will be done on the interface of the organization -
during the last days i read a lot :-) also part of the archives ted!

1. Could you shortly characterize the environment you are working in?
2. How did you start to work on this project? Is there an anecdote which
everybody remembers?
3. Why are you working in an Open Source Project?
4. What do you understand by the term organizational culture?
5. Could you characterize the organizational culture of the project you are
working in by using six terms?
6. Could you imagine using the term to dock in combination with the term
culture?
7. If yes, could you describe the connection between these terms?
8. Which factors are making the working process easier?
9. Is there a slogan for your work?
10. Could you describe a situation where you didn't trust the person you
were talking to online?
*11. Do you think trust between strangers is possible or do people need to
know each other to build up trust?
*12. Do you think frequent communication improves trust or do you think that
there is no relation between communication and trust?
13. Which influence does experiences in virtual worlds have on your work?
*14. How many hours is your daily online time on average?
*15. Do you think online communication is easier with people who have the
same experiences as you, or do you think that experiences do not influence
the understanding between people?
*16. Do you think online communication needs to be learned like a new
language or do you believe that everybody is instantly able to communicate
online?
17. Why are you getting involved into new projects?
*18. Life is learning - do you consider this as true?
*19. Do you think people who work in virtual organizations tend to have fun
while learning, or do they learn the same way as people working in normal
work environments?
20. Which kind of risks do you usualy take in your workplace - could you
shortly describe?
*21. Do you think risk can be taken at workplace or should the work
environment be a secure place?
*22. Do you think working at new technologies involves risk for you or do
you think the risks you take are the same as working in an old fashion
business?
23. What do you think about information - and knowledge sharing? How far
would you go?
*24. Do you think people who actively share information are getting more
knowledge by communicating with people who also actively share information?
*25. Does the sharing of information need to be a 1:1 relationship - giving
and getting information is equal between 2 persons or is it not important
that you receive information in return of giving information to another
person?

The interpretation of the generated data will be done over during Christmas
and New Year - Im realy late i know. This wokrk will be finished on 01.05.02
and be presented on 01.16.02 at University of Vienna. After this I would

If you think the topic of indent spacing is a joke, then you are sick, 
pal.  ;-)

 There hasn't been much innovation going on in the Relational DB world.
It'd be nice to see an Open Source project catch up, innovate, and
outperform the Big Name DB vendors.
 An Open Source java DB by a trusted Open Source Name (Apache) would allow
anyone to have a high end database solution without being a big money
making
enterprise.

 Obviously I think this is a good idea.   Why don't we create a list for
Open Source DB's to evaluate?  Also some criteria.
 I've already mentioned.

 1. Object or Object/Relational DB.
 2. Support for SQL/OQL
 3. Support for the SUN JDO spec.

There is a pretty good Java SQL Relational DB called Mckoi, but the darn
thing is GPL and I have sent about 6 emails trying to get them to change
the
license to an ASL or equivalent, but I have had no luck. They won't even
change to LGPL.

hsql Database on sourceforge has a good license and works well for small
projects, but I don't know if I would trust it for anything important.
Hopefully it will pick up some momentum.

I know Jetspeed (a Jakarta project) uses Hypersonic SQL (now hsql
Database),
or at least used it the last time I check which was a long time ago. I
would
love to see a solid Java RDBMS under a business friendly license. Maybe
someday ;-)

Does Jakarta has anything close to an embedded pure Java
relational data base ?

If not, a project like that will be a great
addition to the Jakarta family.

Hey, maybe take a look at

http://www.lutris.com/products/projects/instantDB

They have been hinting about making it open for a
long time now, and maybe they could use some
help doing so.
