Christine L. : 2055, 1447
Henry Z. : 2057, 2001, 1973, 1851, 1845
Joanne T. : 2120, 2107, 2100, 2094
John G. : 2114, 2113, 1574
Morris K. : 1263, 1139, 1086, 1065, 739
Ramesh M. : 2106, 2063, 2062
Santiago P-G : 2040, 2032, 1912, 1485, 1151
Sarah M. : 2144, 2129, 2065
Yash T. : 2150, 2072, 2056, 2039, 1923
There was some discussion on 2113. On having an ErrorListener. For example
if an error is detected, perhaps an exception is thrown and caught, the
ErrorListener should be made aware or the error and the exception is
consumed, leaving it to the ErrorListener to decide what to do.
If the error listener only writes to a log file, then that is the
ErrorListener's choice, or it could throw the exception.
If the ErrorListener throws an exception, then that is the exception
that should percolate up.
3.c) Open issues with a patch, needing a reviewer:
2157
2147
2099
2078
2061 - Cleanup some dead code
The JAXP 1.3 work contributed by Morris Kwan needs to be reviewed.
Sarah M. was assigned to review 2124.
Ilene S. was assigned to review other JAXP 1.3 work, namely
2122, 2123, 2125, 2126, 2134, 2135, 2136, 2139, 2141. She had
agreed to review these before the meeting.
3.d) Open issues with a patch, needing a review by the reviewer (just a
reminder):
Brian M. : 2023
Christine L. : 1867
Henry Z. : 2137, 2130
3.e) Open issues with a patch and review approval, needing a commit to CVS
Brian M. : 2133, 2103
======================================================================
4. Round table discussion
a) Target date for Xalan-J 2.7 release is August 4, 2005,
code freeze July 28, 2005.
c) features for 2.7 release
- JAXP 1.3 (Morris K. has committed the work, Ilene S. has agreed to
review)
- XML 1.1 ( Yash had one bug that he was going to fix, was it fixed?)
- Serializer xsl:output property to set end of line sequence, done
through 2093.
- JNDI contribution through John G. ?
d) JNDI contribution.
The new code will more easily create a database and run code/tests.
The amount of setup needed to get involved in this code was rather
high, one needs to install a database management system, plus get
the JDBC libraries, etc. Derby has an embeded version where all
you need to do use a jar file.
John G. has reviewed Eric's JNDI code,
and integrated/tested on his
system. Eric will test in a JNDI environment.
One new class, the rest is patches to existing parts.
Instant DB is no longer used, MySQL is not used and John G. has reworked
the examples to use Derby ( http://incubator.apache.org/projects/derby.html
)
Rather than include the Derby jars in the distribution, or in the
./lib directory or the ./examples directory, we should propably point
users to where they can get the jars. For example we no longer ship
the Jakarta bsf.jar with our distribution.
If the jars go in ./test/java/bin that is OK, it is not part of
the distribution, and the smoketest could use them.
The old ./instantdb that can go.
John will be providing documentation changes as well.
Yash has agreed to review.
Issue XALANJ-2172 is opened to record discussion/patches/reviews...
on this code contribution and changes to the samples.
======================================================================
5. 2.7 Release
Code needs to be reviewed, checked in before July 28 (code freeze date).
August 4 is the date for 2.7.0 release.
Sarah M. has volunteered to run conformance tests, etc. between July 28 and
August 4.
Brian M. has volunteered to post the new release the website and
mirror sites.
Here is the list of bugs that are under consideration for
making it in 2.7
2170 - all doc changes tracked here, assigned to Sarah M., this defect
subsumes 2144, 2143, 2142 (and others).
2150 - must fix, Yash T. fix, Henry to review.
2147 - drop target/source javac task attributes.
2124 - (fp2) committed, done, Sarah M. agreed to review
2100 - (fp2) Unrecognized Namespace beginning with '//',
this might not make 2.7 release.
2093 - end of line sequence, done for Xalan-J interpretive, but not XSLTC
2088 - Passing initial mode from command line
(accepted as a request, not assigned, will not make 2.7 release)
2087 - Get rid of dependency on sun.io.CharToByteConverter (John G. to
review)
need to apply this patch for 2.7.0 as it fixes numerous issues
with various encodings.
2032 (fp2) XSLTC: Multiple namespace prefixes produce unexpected prefixes
in output
might not make 2.7 release.
2024 (fp1) Axis name: preceding-sibling:: does not seem to work, assigned
to
Brian M., but he won't have time to fix it before the release.
