Preferences Service RDBMS impl

[Erik Bengtson <er...@jpox.org>]

Hi,

I've created a prefs service implementation using JDO / derby and was wondering
if this project would be interested in this form of prefs storage?

Regards,

Erik Bengtson

I guess that's a common problem among open source projects. For the moment I
won't publish the prefs impl to JPOX CVS since it has IP issues
(Copy/paste classes from the java.util.prefs package from Sun JVM) and has no
docs.

People interested in seeing it can send me a personal email and I forward the
code. The code is Apache licensed :).

Erik,

For me, there is interest in this for Felix possibly, but I was 
wondering about the fact that the Directory project was also going to 
contribute a prefs service.

We probably need to figure out some criteria for accepting projects as 
part of Felix versus just offering community support for them. At a 
minimum, I would like to see your bundle and others like it become part 
of a Felix community OBR bundle repository.

It may also be possible to make it part of the Felix project, but as I 
said we need some guidelines in that area that we currently don't have. 
So, don't take some silence as lack of interest, rather it is lack of 
time to respond properly. :-)

Some of the issues you describe below are what makes it difficult to 
simply accept contributions into Felix, because we already have 
difficulty finding the time to maintain everything we already have. No 
matter, we definitely want to support community members that develop 
bundles, so we will at least do this through our web site and an 
official OBR repository...we just need to get it done.

If you have your stuff available to link to, give me the links and I 
will at least set up a community bundle page for the time being...

I am merely interested in seeing the code. I have no background in
JPOX at the moment, so I will probably not be able to really maintain
it :-)

Hi Felix,

I'm considering the direction I should take for this implementation, mainly 3
options: contribute it to Felix, maintain it as a JPOX project or does not
release it at all.

Since it has not bring much interest, I will probably not release it for the
moment, however I can send it to you in case you are interested in seeing the
code or maintaining it.

The implementation itself is very simple, but integrating/deploying is quite
annoying. For single node/instance deployments, an embedded derby instance
works pretty fine, however deploying to multiple nodes requires starting a
derby network server and configure the datasource accordingly if you want to
have prefs available to all nodes.

Hi Erik,

I am working on a project which discusses an implementation of the
service on top of a Java Content Repository (JSR-170, see also
http://jackrabbit.apache.org) and would be very interested in your
implementation.

Regards
Felix
