Discussion:
- JMX and JSR 88 are in
scope/charter. No resources have yet been identified. There is a need for
vendor-specific functionality (descriptor file support, tool-specific
support in the form of descriptions, e.g.)
- Rob/Marshall: JBoss is working
on this functionality in their tool - current implementation targets
JBoss, but intent was to be vendor-neutral (supports all of JSR 88). XPath/dialog
presentation is one likely extension point to encompass varying vendor
concerns.
- Tim dB: JSR 88 should be a set
of tools that are usable by server adapters within WTP; they would share a
common deployment API, with extension points for construction of
vendor-specific objects.
- IBM and BEA both have
implementations that are entwined with vendor-specific code; could not be
contributed easily in their current incarnation. Both companies are
interested in seeing JSR 88 functionality in WTP.
- Oracle interested in
understanding and likely adopting whatever JSR 88 framework will be made
available within WTP.
AIs:
- JBoss will investigate whether
their existing JSR 88 support can be migrated to WTP and used to support JBoss
in the 1.0 timeframe. Marshall
will forward link to JBoss project page.
- Thomas
Yip (BEA) available for
collaboration.
