+1 from me
I agree federation is the big delta between now and then - we should have
by then
* federated classloading (with multi-classloader support)
* federated scope
* the changes done for separating controller and physical runtime
* contribution store and artifact redistribution
It would be good to increase the spec coverage e.g.
* support for casting between proxies and service references
* support the new Conversation API
* clean up around complex properties - specifically being able to use an
external file to configure the server runtime
* some more integration tests
Yes it will be good to increase the spec coverage. Adding to your list, I'd
also like to support things like:
- Ability to override service/reference/property configuration at the
componentType/component/composite level.
- More coverage of the SCDL 1.0 syntax with things like qnames on
composites, or composite resolution without requiring a scdlLocation
attribute for example, I think we need to do some work to bring our SCDL
model in sync with the latest revision of the spec.
- Complex and multi-valued properties (I think Venkat has done some work in
that area that could be included too)
- Support for both WSDL and java interfaces and mapping between the two
I can also help bring over some of the integration tests from the
integration branch.
Also, user support such as:
* the composite plugin (i.e. pick an archive type)
* JUnit4/TestNG support in the itest plugin
* contribution tool (command line and plugin?)
* a start on some form of console
* some more samples
* doco for all the above
This looks good to me, I also want to have a very minimal runtime that will
work without a Tuscany launcher.
There is already support in the runtime for standlone server other than the
laucher with some basic JMX management.
The Guice idea is intriguing - support for their PM and annotations would
be good. I also would like to take a look at using their EDSL for assembly
- perhaps for hooking up the runtime as an alternative to SCDL.
Yes, this is an interesting idea. I like the idea of trying to use an
alternative to SCDL to hook up the runtime.
Finally, I'd like to see if we could turn kernel/core into a few smaller
modules for this release.
