Requested topics:
Paul - test agents and general event processing.
defect # 139557
logging more than one event type via an agent
is handled differently depending on which TPTP agent you are using. In
this case anything more than execution events in the test execution environments
are lost. There is a more basic issues around what happens in error conditions.
Kent/Ernest raised the point that multi data processor scenario has value
as well as variable event formats. Recently we have been reducing the tight
coupling between agent names, types and data types and this change also
affects this problem
Ideally all TPTP data processors should be
able to handle any valid or invalid events or data, and the views should
be activated based on model content, with the configured types providing
hints about the default list of views available.
Contact Paul asap if you wish to participate
in the discussion to resolve these issues.
Sri -new about and lic. templates
Sri and Hubert will run with this issue.
We will publish a list of 3rd party content and Hubert will look into where
we have unique content for the RAC
Marius - Xerces
We are no sharing common plugins with other
projects and WTP is sharing a Xerces plugin. We agreed to become dependant
on this component and remove our code that was testing for the presence
of various packages and using alternate code paths for each.
Marius/Hendra - 1.5 support
Everyone is still building to target a 1.4
environment, however we need to test in both a 1.4 and 1.5 environment.
In the case of the profiler we do not exploit 1.5 or have any 1.5 feature
support, but we do need to tolerate it.
Apparently we have not been testing a 1.5
execution environment and this will have to be addressed in the near future.
Marius - multiple profiler problem
When Yourkit is installed in the same workbench
as Callisto both the yourkit agent is enabled but the TPTP views are activated,
so neither profiler is functional.
There is a basic launch configuration limitation
issue that has always existed. A defect will be opened/tracked by Marius
137057 to pursue this problem with the workbench.
Even if that worked, there is a basic issue
of the JVMs would not support tow PI agents at the same time anyway. This
will become more frequent when vendors and debuggers all move to the new
JVM TI interfaces which will also have to deal with this multiplexing.
Ali will investigate the projected problems with TI and open features accordingly
to get the dialogs started now to avoid the problems down the road.
In the meantime there is little we can do.
Alex - problems arising from bidi testing
During TVT testing we found problems with
bidi testing. _expression_ builders do no always render expressions correctly
and a bidi _expression_ doesn't seem to run. This may be a user or engine
problem. This may be a blocking problem and will be
