Hi all! I think the idea of ObjectWeb is very good. This is comparable with the Apache group. I like enhydra and use it a lot. In my opinion it would be great if Enhydra.org and all of its components (xmlc, barracuda, eaf, etc.) could be integrated within the ObjectWeb group. "Integration" is the key factor in this area... These are my opininions: - Integrate all of Enhydra components within ObjectWeb, and please don´t just let them like the situation now in Enhydra.org. As a good example is the Apache group. Some categories like Presentation Layer, Business Layer, Data Layer and Integration Layer could be used for categorizing ObjectWeb projects... - To be able to integrate all of the components, ObjectWeb has to use the same license within all its components. JOnAS move to LGPL could be the answer. - All the components have to be stand-alone, so each components can be developed separately. This makes also easier if someone only wants to use one of the components. - As a long term ObjectWeb should release an application server, which integrates all the available components! Again, only an integration and all components must be developed seperately! In this case I see a very big advantage of the "ObjectWeb Application Server". ObjectWeb should not call this application server JOnAS but "ObjectWeb Application Server" because this is more than JOnAS itself. This application server will be "the one and only", which directly supports all the Enhydra.org components (xmlc, barracuda, eaf, dods, etc.). It also directly supports J2ME application server! As a starting point, we can use the service architecture, which is based on JMX. So, ObjectWeb Application Server can bind all these services... can you imagine, how cool this is, if you can just easily bind eaf, xmlc or barracuda, or kxml (like what JOnAS 2.4.4 has done now with jms, tomcat-servlet, tm, ...). Okay, this is only my opinion ;-) Regards, Lofi Dewanto OpenUSS-Architect http://openuss.sourceforge.net __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
