Re: [higgins-dev] Java 5, going once...

To summarize the discussion at the F2F: we wanted to end up with a RESTful service to IdAS. We also wanted whatever we delivered to be extensible for a number of reasons. One of which was so that people who wish to deploy this service could, as seamlessly as possible, integrate their own additional services. In addition, we wanted extensibility where that would make sense and feel natural (specifically extensibility of authentication mechanisms)


After some consideration, JSR 311 looked like it met the goals we had except that it requires Java 5. Further, it appears to me to be gaining fairly quick and wide adoption. That said, I haven't done a deep analysis of other Java REST service frameworks. I'm having a hard time finding anything that brings what JSR311 does. Are there some alternatives we should be evaluating?

Was not there at the F2F but there are a lot of RESTFul interfaces that don't use JSR 311 not sure of the applicability of JSR 311

I brought this up at the last F2F because I was proposing that we use JSR 311 (JAX-RS) as the framework with which we build a ReSTful service which exposes IdAS. My read of consensus was that using the JSR 311 framework was the right way to go. 


The JSR 311 framework requires Java 5 due to its use of annotations. 


I assumed this reason would be sufficient for us to make the move forward.

Since the current build is on 1.4 so what is the rational to change ? I'm not seeing the motivation to change or do we just change things ?

I’ve been waiting to see if anyone will step forward and argue for why they require 1.4.X support for Higgins 1.1 (specifically). As we discussed in the F2F if someone requires 1.4.X they at least have the option of using Higgins 1.0. Not a great option because so much is progressing in 1.1, but it’s something. Historically Tony of IBM has put forward IBM’s requirement for 1.4.X, but they have been silent on the issue of late.

Unless we hear soon from IBM or others on this point, we’ll take one last poll, and then move to Java 5 for Higgins 1.1.
