Kimbro, It is still here. I have been a little busy and we need some direction from you/Tom. I wrote in a previous e-mail
"Kimbro/Tom/et. al., is the set of tests in the tests/src directory complete? Is there anything that is missing from the tests? Once we have a similar set of tests running correctly, will that be enough? From what I have read on the list, the XML:DB API is a superset of what we are implementing, is that true?" Also, we could just jump in and start where we think we should, but then I think you would come back and point us somewhere else. So, where should we begin? The tasks as I have stated are: 1) Create Interface files in order to the standardize the interface to the Core of Xindice Internals. Which files or directories would you see as the key files to abstract? Which is why I asked my question up above - "Are the tests sufficient?". 2) Once the Interfaces are defined, implement the XML:DB API. Since Xindice doesn't currently implement the entire API, which pieces of it do we need to implement? 3) The CORBA Server portion implements these already so we have examples of how to implement the XML:DB API. Therefore, all we have to do is to create a new Package name, copy the XML:DB API over and utilize the CORBA Server code to re-implement the XML:DB API. Could you give us a quick heads up as to which package these are in? And what should the package name of the embedded server be? 4) While we are doing all of this we need to either maintain the existing tests or more likely create a new set of tests. We will need two sets of tests, as I see it. One is to test the Core Xindice with the new Interfaces and one is for the new Embedded Package, whatever that will be called. Anytime I have started a new job, I have always had to stumble around a bit trying to find out things are done in the new environment. So, if you could answer these questions, it would help us not have to stumble and would give us a leg up. thanks, Mark Kimbro Staken wrote: > What happened with this project?
