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.
