Jeremy,
I accept all the points you make about creating branches, and I have no
particular need for one, I guess I figured (wrongly, as a first-time patch
submitter!) that this was
standard procedure. I am totally happy for my reviewed changes to go
straight into trunk. My plan is to create and submit a set of tests once
committers have seen and approved the WODEN-14 code (especially the
framework classes) and perhaps satisfy themselves that there are no
regressions from the test bucket. The "default" behaviour of the patch
should be identical to current behaviour.
I am preparing configuration files (for the supplied SimpleURIResolver), a
test WSDL2 set and a simple application to demonstrate how to use the
framework. There will be some accompanying notes which should be enough to
allow users to play with the resolver further if desired. These will all be
attached to the JIRA for easy reference.These deliverables together with
the regression check with the test suite should confirm that the patch is
good (ie it works!).
I am keen to get this patch approved and in trunk ASAP as I'm now working
on using the ws-commons OASIS Catalog-based URI Resolver as an alternative
resolver to the SimpleURIResolver, as Part #2 of WODEN-14. Therefore any
early feedback from all on my patch and accompanying docs will be
especially welcome. I am of course always more than happy to answer any and
all questions around the patch and WODEN-14 in general.
Many thanks.
Kind Regards,
Graham.

We seem to be creating branches for lots of JIRAs nowadays.
I know I set an example by creating WODEN-40 but that was because I
wanted to create a "mini-revolution" - there were a lot of API changes
I needed to make and I didn't want to disrupt development on trunk.
Also, I thought it would take a not-insignificant amount of time to
code the changes (unfortunately a self-fulfilling prophecy there), so
I felt that rather than coding them privately over a long period, I
would check them in to a branch for all to see and potentially
contribute to. There are overheads to using branches: merging the
changes to the trunk into the branch periodically, merging the code
into trunk is a review-then-commit process (rather than the normal
commit-then-review) so a vote is required to merge the branch into
trunk, then of course there's the actual deed of merging the branch
into the trunk. On the other hand, these overheads can be quite small
for small short lived (mini-revoluation) branches.
What you've got here in WODEN-14 is evolutionary (IMO) and not
revolutionary so can simply go straight into the trunk. I appreciate
we're gearing up for a milestone release, but the timing of that has
been put into question now. If the patch is good (could you provide
some testscases?) then I'd like to check it into the trunk. If we hold
out WODEN-14 until after the milestone release, we should do just that
- ie leave the patch on the JIRA rather than creating a branch.
Cheers,
Jeremy
