Hi Mike,
I took a quick look through the slides, and have includes some small comments below.
Since it has been a while since I've made any changes to Gemini Naming, please feel free to disregard my comments if recent changes to the code have made my comments obsolete. :)
Thanks,
Bob
Here are my comments:
1.Slide 4 - The phrase "A JNDI provider that exports JNDI entries as OSGi services and OSGi services as JNDI entries" is only half-true. JNDI bindings (which I'm interpreting to mean the same as "JNDI entries") are not exported as OSGi services. OSGi services are available as JNDI entries, however, as part of the effort to have a migration path for Java EE developers that are moving to an OSGi-based approach. While it's certainly possible that a given JNDI provider that integrates with Gemini Naming could wrap generic JNDI bindings with service interfaces, the framework itself does not implement this, nor is this mentioned in the JNDI Service standard.
Really? I must have remembered wrong, because I thought the JNDI spec
defined it going in both directions. In the absence of an app server
around it adding additional JNDI entries I guess that distinction is
really kind of immaterial, though, since every service has a binding and
with no additional bindings, every binding has a service :-) I will
change that, though.
2. Slide 10 - "Includes custom JNDI provider". I'm not sure if this is true. I believe we do implement a custom object factory for "osgi"-based URLs, so this could be considered a custom JNDI provider. If that was the intent, then leaving this is fine.
I was admittedly a little loose with the terminology. In the Java EE
sense one wouldn't consider it a custom JNDI provider, but in the OSGi
context I think of it as a kind of JNDI provider. If you are
uncomfortable with it I can be more specific, though.
Thanks,
-Mike
