GSoC 2013

Hi Xalan Devs,

My name is Samuel Queiroz and I participated of GSoC 2012 by coding for
Xalan-C.
My mentor was Steven J. Hathaway and we implemented the base functions for
XML DateTime.

In the context of GSoC 2013, I would like to work again with the Xalan team
in order to push this project to have XSLT/XPath 2 support.

I would like to discuss some points with you:

   1. In order to become more motivated, does Xalan have a big users
   community? Can you estimate how many projects use it?
   2. Which Xalan version is better positioned -- in terms of both code
   quality/completion and number of affected users -- to incorporate these
   recommendations?
   3. In order to get help defining a project that makes sense within the
   scope of GSoC, what could be a great starting point in order to push the
   project to support these recommendations?
   4. Who could be the mentor?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Samuel Queiroz

Hi Samuel,

I've reviewed your proposal in Melange. Overall it looks really good.

I left you some feedback on things you can improve and a few questions.

Thanks.

Re: GSoC 2013

Posted by Samuel Medeiros <cc...@gmail.com>.
Hi Michael,

I have submitted our project
proposal<https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/samuelqueiroz/17001>
.

I am looking forward to getting your feedback.

Just FYI, ASF provides a page <http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html> for
both students and prospective mentors. It contains information like
"Prospective mentors should join the code-awards@apache.org mailing list".

Sincerely,
Samuel Queiroz

That's a good summary from a high level.

If you're looking for pointers into the code for where 
StAXSource/StAXResult would apply, here are the main entry points:

[1] 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xalan/java/trunk/src/org/apache/xalan/processor/TransformerFactoryImpl.java

[2] 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xalan/java/trunk/src/org/apache/xalan/transformer/TransformerImpl.java

[3] 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xalan/java/trunk/src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/trax/TransformerFactoryImpl.java

[4] 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xalan/java/trunk/src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/trax/TransformerImpl.java

specifically the newTransformer() and transform() methods.

Re: GSoC 2013

Posted by Samuel Medeiros <cc...@gmail.com>.
Hi Devs,

Due to the fact of haven't any reply from the other committers and I am
motivated to work for Xalan, I become interested for the ticket Complete
support for StAXSource /
StAXResult<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2550>
.
As this ticket reporter, I think Michael Glavassevich will be the mentor
for this project, can you confirm this?

--

Why am I the correct student for this project ?
I am very motivated. Furthermore, I am a Java programmer since 2010 and I
have a good experience with it. I am prepared to work in this project and I
am preparing a formal proposal to submit to the program.

--

For the proposal, the following technical parts were identified so far:

   - Implement StAXSource / StAXResult classes according to the
   specifications;
   - Implement a good suite of tests for them;
   - Integrate the developed code to the Xalan-J project.


The proposal will be organized as described at the ASF GSoC 2013
page<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/apache>
:

   - List of deliverables and quantifiable results;
   - A detailed description / design document;
   - An approach;
   - A schedule;
   - My background.


If you have more details about this project, please let me know.


I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Samue Queiroz

Hi Michael,

Thank you for these information.
Having derivatives of Xalan-J are included in both the Oracle and IBM JDKs
represents a great motivation for me.

I am looking forward to hearing from the other comitters.

Samuel Queiroz

Hi Samuel,

(Speaking just about the Java version of Xalan)

Derivatives of Xalan-J are included in both the Oracle and IBM JDKs. I 
would expect that the majority of users would be getting their JAXP/XSLT 
support in this way. I couldn't guess how many use the Apache releases of 
Xalan-J directly, but have to imagine it's gone down over the years with 
the availability of JAXP/XSLT support in Java SE and processors such as 
Saxon which have supported XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0 for a long time.

I know there's been some interest by users for XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0 
support. They occasionally ask about it on the mailing list. Personally I 
haven't kept up with the standards, so from a technical perspective I 
wouldn't be able to provide much guidance for XPath 2.0 / XSLT 2.0. The 
other committers may have more knowledge.

Thanks.
