Re: [riena-dev] ECF remote services provider based upon Riena

Hi Scott,

To answer your questions:
Currently we have no plan to create projectsets for parts of Riena. There are only projectsets for all of Riena which is currently communication, core and security and some tests. Maybe we start to partition Riena into several parts later in the project.

We are currently planning a M1 version at the end of the month that would create a complete package. That should probably
contain some Javadoc.
If you plan to build yourself you could get the whole projectset and start the build.cmd in the org.eclipse.riena.build project. That should work pretty smoothly. All library dependencies are in the projectset.

OK, thanks.


I am not sure however how a ECF remote service provider will work with Riena. Riena communication is not a protocol. Its a way to enable protocol endpoints like Hessian or create proxy for Webservices.

ECF has a namespace extension point that allows any protocol endpoint types to be defined by providers...so I will just define a new URI scheme for endpoint identifiers (e.g. riena:<hessian endpoints identifier>). RE: creating proxies...yes, providers can define/add proxies to service registry as they wish to expose remote services as local. The r-OSGi-based ECF provider does both of these things, for example.

But I am sure you have a plan already. Keep me posted how it is going. If you have more questions or need insight please let me know.

OK. I imagine any examples of usage will be helpful.

Greetings,

I would like to create an ECF remote services provider, based upon Riena. We have recently done this with j-SLP and r-OSGi (i.e. created ECF discovery API and remote services API providers), and I think as some of us have discussed on the newsgroup, it would be helpful to both projects to also do this with the relevant communication parts of Riena.

If any of the Riena team would like to work on this together, I/we would welcome this, of course.

One benefit for Riena of this work would be the immediate availability of some examples/other apps using the ECF discovery and remote services APIs.e.g. http://eclipseecf.blogspot.com/2008/02/discovery-and-access-for-remote-osgi.html and others.

To make this workable, though, I have some mundane requests: Are there plans for creating a project set file for the core/communication bundles of Riena? Are/will there be javadocs for the bundles now in the riena CVS area? Are there library dependencies that are also needed to build the Riena bundles?
Thanks,

Scott
