RE: [birt-pmc] Updated BIRT 2.1 Project Plan
|
I'm mainly going by the Apache Tomcat
website. From the home page (tomcat.apache.org)
"Please note that although we offer downloads
and documentation of older releases, such as Apache Tomcat 3.x and 4.x,
we strongly encourage users to use the latest stable version of Apache
Tomcat whenever possible"
And from their version description page for V4: (bolding
is theirs, not mine)
We encourage all users to upgrade to Apache
Tomcat 5.x whenever possible |
If there was a problem running BIRT with tomcat 4.1, but
it worked with V5.*, would you really want to put effort into fixing it?
V5.* has been out a long time. There is also active development in
progress, as you can get a 5.0.30 beta. My guess is that there are
a lot of shops (like mine) that haven't committed to Java 1.5 yet and are
still using 1.4.2. While I agree that 5.0.x will likely work, I'd
have to go back to tomcat 4 to be an officially supported/tested configuration.

Mike,
Ideally we would test all 3, but
the is the hard part from a resource standpoint. The strategy of testing
the lowest and highest in a range gives a fair probability that the intermediate
versions will work. Hence the reason of testing 4.1.x and 5.5.x. Anticipation
is that there is a fair probability that 5.0.x will "just work".
However, it sounds like from your
perspective, there is no value for testing 4.1. Right?
Paul.

I understand the issues around resource constraints, but it just seems
strange to me that we would test against tomcat V4.1, skip a very popular
5.0 version, and test again against the current V5.5. Unless there is something
here I don't know about, why not drop the V4.1 and test against 5.0.28
and 5.5? These are the versions Apache recommends.

Michael and Scott,
Thanks for the feedback. I believe that we are testing against a specific
version of Tomcat 4.1 and 5.5. By listing 4.1.x and 5.5.x we are saying
that we expect that BIRT will work fine against all 4.1.x and 5.5.x versions.
To address your question about supporting 5.0.28, resource constraints
are limiting us from doing that. Additionally, the BIRT runtime will run
in both 1.4.2 and 1.5 JVM, so that should not be an issue. I’ve updated
the project for Supporting the Enhanced ODA Framework to remove the reference
to external connection profiles. This is not going to make it into 2.1.
I’ve also added a project for bugzilla ID 126109 based on Scott’s feedback.
Thanks!
Krishna

A few comments:
- The App Server reference platform lists Tomcat 4.1.x and 5.5.x. It
doesn't include 5.0.x. Why include the V4 version but not the V5.0
family? Also, I believe that V5.5 requires the JRE V5.0 which conflicts
with J2SE V1.4.2 listed elsewhere. While you don't have to support
all V5.0.x versions, at least 5.0.28 should be there. You could probably
similarly restrict the V4.1.x to 4.1.31, which is the one available on
the tomcat website. I would be hesitant to require J2SE V5, as I'd
guess that there is still a lot of 1.4.2 out there.
- Under "Support Enhanced ODA Framework", does this imply that
you support an externally supplied Connection? If so, this is a big feature
that makes connection pooling possible. Am I reading this wrong?

Please review the attached BIRT 2.1 project plan and provide me feedback
by COB tomorrow - Wednesday. The plan is to post the plan on to eclipse.org
thursday morning. If there are updates after that we can incorporate these
individually.
Thanks!
