Re: [technology-pmc] COSMOS project dependency question

I'm pretty sure that you can mention Tomcat, JBoss, etc. without a CQ.
I'll confirm.

Thanks for the quick response, Wayne.
If you are correct in classifying this as an exempt prereq, when we refer
to such a dependence in our download/install/usage instructions, are we
able to give examples of such implementations? For instance, could we
include an instruction like this:
1. Install your favorite JSP 2.0-compliant web server (e.g. Tomcat, JBOSS,
etc.)
Or must we avoid even mentioning names such as "Tomcat" without getting a
CQ approval? Would this start to imply some sort of non-exempt prereq? I
would hope we could do this, since using descriptive prose in every
instance where we want to refer to a web server is awkward and
error-prone, and really not very usable.
Thanks,
David

Re: [technology-pmc] COSMOS project dependency question
Actually, I think this is an "Exempt Pre-req".
--
A pre-req may be classified as "exempt" by the EMO if the software is
pervasive in
nature, expected to be already on the user's machine, and/or an IP
review would be
either impossible, impractical, or inadvisable. Exempt pre-req's can be
approved for use
by the EMO without IP review. Examples: Windows XP, Sun JRE. However, an
exempt
pre-req may be disallowed by the EMO at its discretion.

Hello PMC,
We have a question about a dependency our project (COSMOS) has on a "web
server that supports JSP 2.0". In essence, our frameworks require
servlet
and JSP support, and don't really care which web server technology you
leverage, provided it complies with JSP 2.0. We have tested with JBOSS
and Tomcat successfully. Given this, we would like to get your
interpretation of the type of dependency that we have. We believe this
would constitute a "workswith" dependency, since no one specific JSP 2.0
is required, as opposed to a "prereq" dependency (which seems to mandate
a
particular version of a particular product). Would you agree this is a
"workswith" dependency?
If you need more information, please ask.
Thanks in advance,
David
