New Subproject proposal Config4J
Hi.
I would like to propose a new subproject called Config4J.
The aim of this project is to provide developers with a generic
framework to help with setting up application level configuration in
Java applications, in a manner similar to what Log4J does for logging.
I have a first cut of the codebase and it works fine. The framework has
the ability to pick up configuration information from XML files,
Databases, LDAP and property files.
Application code would use a standard interface to access properties
Eg Config.getProperty(XXX) etc.
I hope to see this evolve with contribution from others in the
community.
How does this sound ?
/Sam

One of the aims of the new Configuration component in the sandbox is
to be Preferences API complient (at least where it makes sense to do
so).

Theres a few of these around all solving similar things. Is there anything
that distinguishes it from the Preferences API in JDK1.4? (Except that it
would run on pre-jdk1.4 JVMs). The Preferences API is already being
integrated into several core APIs and by jdk1.5/tiger release large chunks of
the JVM will only be able to be configured using Preferences.

Actually, I think Apache is a wonderful name, because it is just a name,
and doesn't mean anything (in this context) except the Apache project.
Although the name does not derive from the Apache culture, it is a nice
coincidence. Having lived in southeast Arizona, I think it definitely is a
really cool appelation. (BTW, the Apaches don't really call themselves
Apaches, that is just a name given to them by the Spanish explorers.)
Besides, isn't it better sometimes to build your own heritage, rather
than borrow from others? Let someone in the future do the borrowing;
maybe a project in 2010 will be called MINA (Megaserver Is Not Apache).

My point is that the name Jakarta makes sense for somebody who is not involved
in the project, but instead remember a little geography from school.

Well, that conference room probably got its name from Indonesia, though?

You always encounter new a wierd names when you enter new communities. Be it

foo4bar is just lame IMHO. Innovative new names are the way to go. Having some
sort of explanation for why the name was chosen is nice, but for finding out
what a project does I would like to read a short description anyway.

Argh! Of course..
It should be obligatory to have a "The name XXX" or "Why was the name XXX
chosen?" page! I found "Alexandria", they have the story behind the name
on their front page. Interesting, allthough "SourceCollector" or "JSDA -
Java Source and Documentation Aggregator" or _something_ would be better.

Jakarta is an island in Indonesia, as is Java.
I like the name myself. But then, I don't really agree with your

Because the very first meeting between about having an open-source based
reference implementation to the Servlet and JSP specification was held at
Sun Microsystems in October 1998 (Thursday after the very first ApacheCON in
San Francisco), in their CUP-02 building in the "Jakarta" conference room....

If I'm remembering correctly, "Jakarta" was the name of the conference
room at Sun where they decided to donate the reference implementation of
the servlet spec (i.e. Tomcat) to Apache.

We had a nice discussion 'bout this on avalon-dev a while back. You can

http://www.mail-archive.com/avalon-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg07495.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/avalon-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg07589.html
This was about nondescriptive naming of packages inside a subproject
with a nondescriptive name inside a jakarta project with a
nondescriptive name, inside jakarta, which has a nondescriptive name.
Basically, it'd be nice to call Avalon "ServicesFramework4J", but its
not really fair to do so (Turbine's Stratum is also a
"ServicesFramework4J"), so we don't. Deal with it.

It is in the formative stages as a component, but is using code which
has been around since Apache JServ and is used currently used in (at
least) the Commons Collections, Velocity, Turbine, Fulcrum, Torque,
Stratum, and Scarab projects. I look forward to your patches.

I won't be incorporating anything (time constrains), but if you'd like
to make some interface changes or add that XML implementation, I'd
certainly be willing to look over your patches, and/or discuss
proposed changes.

Probably most appropriate to continue this discussion on the

You are right, it doesn't do much other then using properties like
files. That's why it's in the sandbox. If you've got some code bring it
on down. I was planning on using betwixt for the xml configuration stuff
and some changes need to be made to betwixt before I was going to
attempt that.

Re: New Subproject proposal Config4J
Posted by Sam <me...@yahoo.com>.
I looked at the CVS repository for this component.
This seems to be in a very early statge. Eg theres
nothing in the XML config part. There are just 2 basic
classes Eg BaseConfiguration.java that really doesnt
do much.
I dont mean to sound like I m undermining your effort,
but I would expect a configuration component to do
more than that.
Over the weekend, I ll putup what I have on a URL so
you can look at it and use it as you feel necessary or
incorporate whatevery you need.
Cheers

Indeed, it's brand new. All the better for you help influence its
direction, eh? :)

The component doesn't have a website yet. You can get to the files via
viewcvs:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/configuration/

jakarta-commons-sandbox/configuration already exists, using the ideas
from Commons Collections ExtendedProperties class as a basic interface
definition, and supply a couple new implementions which originated
from Stratum. Perhaps you have something to contribute to the
existing Commons Configuration package?

Sounds perfect for a commons-sandbox project. You should check with the
Commons people to make sure that one of these projects doesn't already
exist. It sounds very familiar. :-)
