With what stuff? With you popping up from nowhere and saying that Jetspeed
sucks and is the wrong direction? I don't think so.

I'm not concerned with flexibility because the BSD is flexible enough for me
(and more flexible than the GPL) and the ASF carries the position that the
ASF License is indeed compatible with the GPL. But, I'm not going to get
into a licensing debate with you as I have done it before and it isn't worth
wasting my time.

Sorry, I'm not going to help you with your code because I already have
enough on my plate. Glancing at the framework stuff leaves me wondering why
you are creating yet another framework once again. Here we are about two
years later and you are back at the same point. I don't get you sometimes.

I doubt that Albert called the other people's works that he was duplicating
a "hindrance."

#1. You could have stepped up to modify Turbine to make it fit your needs
instead of re-inventing the wheel yet again. So, your argument is lame.

#2. Tell me the truth, when was the last time you really took a good look at
Turbine? Have you see what is going on in the HEAD? Somehow, I doubt it.
Even when you were working with Turbine, you made little effort to actually
understand it and implement Jetspeed correctly within the Turbine model. You
left a huge mess behind yourself and now you come back expecting or even
suggesting that people jump ship and follow you? You just confirmed my
suspicions that you are nuts. :-)

>  Failure to admit this would be foolish.

2.1 is a mess. 2.2/3.0 is very nice. Jason van Zyl is leading the effort and
I have great confidence in his work and his design skills. They are much
better than mine and he has the time to devote to it.

That's good, because I think pretty much everything that I have seen you do
as "non-ideal." :-)

Personally, I like people who stick around a project for the long haul and
work to improve things over people who come and go randomly and leave
unfinished messes behind.

I applaud the Jetspeed developers for picking up that mess and at least
attempting to shape it into something worthwhile.

Good luck with your cathedral Kevin.

Dear Kevin, you got a openprivacy.org email, are you
the founder??? and do you a founder of jetspeed???

I don't understand the lic very well, because in my
country lic is not anything, almost of us can pirate
the software even the most restricted software, so I
am not care of this. All of you may be the best.

I am playing around with JetSpeed, and I like because,
the personalization feature, and free.. of course..
Open Source, I think JetSpeed 2.0 or not, I prefer if
OpenPrivacy project is better, make it easy to
understand, and easy to implement.

Man.. you are still working in a small part of
project. I am involve in integration project from B2B
project to ERP integration, all the Open Source code
is still small part of it, and with you "BEST" code,
you are still small part of it.

I don't know OpenPrivacy is better or not, I think if
you can integrate you code with JetSpeed (that will be
the best), I think this is better, that why the Open
Souce community exist now, I think, I love sharing my
knowledge better than tell to everyone, my project is
better, or may be you can make a replacement. Idea is
good, but integration is another issue, eBusiness is
another issue also.

Dave,
I have been using 3.3-m3 for a month with Jetspeed and Cocoon 1.8.3-dev.
It has been stable, but I have not exercised, or loaded, it that much.

Thanks, Paul.  I did briefly test tomcat 3.3-m4 and saw the different
structure within its /lib directory.  But because I'm preparing a production
site, I was concerned about its pre-beta status.  I know that it is now at
3.3-b1.  (Although planning to deploy an alpha Jetspeed is still within my
tolerance for chaos :-)

I haven't had time to search the tomcat mail lists, but does anyone have an
informed opinion on the general stability of tomcat 3.3 and/or 4.0 for use
with Jetspeed?

Dave,
Tomcat v3.3 and 4.0 have made a lot of progress in solving this
problem.  When using Tomcat v3.2 with Jetspeed and Cocoon, I had to use
two instance of Tomcat.  With Tomcat 3.3, all jars can be place in
application specific lib directories while using the same instance of
Tomcat.

Re: actual cvs source not running?

Posted by Dave Carlson <dc...@ontogenics.com>.
Thanks, I fixed this one.  It was caused by a copy of the saxon.jar XSLT
processor in the tomcat lib, in addition to jaxp, xerces and xalan.  It seems
that jetspeed worked on windows because the tomcat startup script used the
file order on windows when assembling the CLASSPATH, which put saxon.jar last.
Whereas the tomcat start script on Linux assembled a CLASSPATH with jars in
alphabetical order, which put saxon.jar before xerces and xalan.

I need saxon for another application running in tomcat, but due to classloader
issues, I am forced to put saxon.jsr in the tomcat classpath instead of in the
other application's webapps lib.  saxon.jar must be in the same classloader as
jaxp.jar (at least, that appears to be the root cause).

These conflicts between different XML parsers and different versions is easily
the biggest issue in app server deployment...

Thanks,
  Dave

I don't have this problem. I think it is due to different versions of 
TRAX/JAXP around.

One think I use to do is to remove parser.jar and jaxp.jar from the 
tomcat/lib directory, and put there a xerces_1_3_1.jar (that you can 
remove from jetspeed distribution depending on tomcat version).

I will try to find if it is this reason when I have a machine back (I 
have been travelling, I'm supposed to be back home soon.)

Thanks for your quick reply (on Sunday!).  Sure enough, there was a /WEB-INF
lurking in the root directory of my file system.  Jetspeed now runs, without
having copied the .vm files as noted earlier.  Thanks!

The only error remaining is this in lieu of any content in any RSS portal
(e.g. within Apache Jetspeed on the default home page):
problem in SAX transform: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
ProxyEmitter.startDocument(): no underlying emitter provided

Any ideas?

cvs access for Paul Spencer

Posted by David Sean Taylor <da...@bluesunrise.com>.
I've been working with Paul Spencer on the Jetspeed documentation, and I
think he's doing a great job of it.
I'd like to recommend him as a Jetspeed committer, so he continue with his
work on making frequent and valuable contributions to the documentation.
I believe Paul is committed to working on Jetspeed, and will be an excellent
addition to the team.

Yep. You will still have this error if you are running under root, as 
the previous runs of unpatched jetspeed will have created an empty 
directory /WEB-INF/psml in the root of your hierarchy. I had to fight 
quite a bit against this one, as my local machine is running under a 
"normal" user, while the remote one was running under "root". If you 
delete (rm -Rf /WEB-INF/psml) and run again, it should run. I needed a 
lot of time (yesterday) to notice it.

I wonder if we should completely erase the mkdirs call, but maybe it is 
needed when a new user is created.

I copied these files, but I'm not sure it is needed after the other fix. 
Currently I have no copy of this file and my local copy is running well.

The fix by Santiago still does not work for me.  I just did a full cvs
checkout and rebuilt about 10 minutes ago, and I still get the same
ClassCastException as I did before.  I'm running on RedHat Linux with jvm
1.3.0 and tomcat 3.2.3.  The exception is:

But I also get another error before I even get to the ClassCastException.  The

Better than this, (I got it), I'm committing a change to the 
CastorPsmlManagerService.

The problem was funny: "/WEB-INF/psml" is *not* absolute under Windows 
(as per java specification, an absolute path in Windows needs the drive 
letter), but it *is* absolute under Unix, so the test:

if( !rootDir.isAbsolute()) was giving different results in both platforms.
I have chaged it to if( !rootDir.exists() ) so that now, if the root 
does not exist, is taken as context-relative, else it is created.

I'll be commiting right now. It can take a while, as I'm using GPRS + my 
mobile phone from my parent's house in the beach, and the connection is 
flaky.

I've setup a Solaris test box in order to reproduce this bug and it seems
like there's a weird behavior difference in the Turbine API between Unix
and Windows:

The cast excpetion comes from the
getProfile() method is DefaultJetspeedRunData

getProfile()
{
	return (Profile)rundata.getUser().getTemp("profile");
}

On Windows, this method returns null when the profile property is not set,
on Unix, it looks like it returns an empty string instead of null for some
reasons.
I've not yet had the time to investigate more thoroughly and I'd appreciate
if anybody with some time on his hand could track the precise bug.

As an interim fix, you can modify the above method to:

     public Profile getProfile()
     {
         Profile profile=null;
         try
         {
             profile=(Profile)this.getUser().getTemp("profile");
         }
         catch (ClassCastException e)
         {
             profile=null;
         }

         return profile;
     }

This will get you to the next error but does not solve everything.

And of the historically challenged - as a proud resident of the last true

complete phrase by Gen. John Stark is: "Live free or die, for death is not
the worst of evil". After more clutter and gibberish from the burtonator I

Jon... I want this to be a professional discussion.  Please watch your tone.

This not my point. If the FSF thinks that the licenses are incompatible it will
not use our code, invent their own projects to compete with ours, etc.  This is
the situation I want to avoid, not a lawsuit.

I support both the FSF *and* ASF and both of their goals.

(again... putting on my FSF hat) The problem with the BSD is that it allows
paracitism (not trying to insult anyone... this is from game theory).  The GPL
protect the original authors freedom.

(putting on the ASF hat) The only problem with the GPL is that it does limit
individuals/corporations in some circumstances when they want to bundle their
code with proprietary code.  In some situations this can actually be more
productive than the copyleft policy.

As it sits today, Reptile has no need for any code within Turbine.  The only
layer we will need in the future is something like Torque.  At that point I have
no problem contributing fixes/patches/contributions to Turbine.

I hope this clarifies my position a little better.

There are 6 billion people living on this planet?  How many of them are Java
developers?  100,000k people is a small number within this population.

I didn't mean to imply that Jakarta isn't important within the Java community.

You lack my viewpoint.  All I care is getting the right feature set to the right
people.  If this happens in Jetspeed, Reptile, or whatever it doesn't matter.
As long as it happens.

I believe Reptile brings me much closer to this point.  It is the first
technology which we belive can act as a "Primary Agent" in the OpenPrivacy
framework.

An open manner would have been joining this group (not that I'm sure they
would even want you back) and participating in a group development.
Especially since this group is already covering what you intend to cover.

Bullshit. The ASF is a legal foundation and can make decisions for its own
code. If the ASF says that the licenses are compatible, then it is up to the
FSF to sue the ASF. Do you really think that Stallman is that stupid?

Woah Kevin, you didn't even read what you wrote.

If you have a single unrestrictive OPEN (not FREE) license on the software,
then you don't need to dual license things. Period.

Bullshit.

If you had used Turbine as your framework, then that would have counted as
part of your 15 hours a day. HELLO? I am working on an Issue Tracking system
in another project on another server (scarab.tigris.org) and I'm using
Turbine as the basis for it. Somehow I have time during my 15 hours a day to
work on ASF stuff.

What the hell are you talking about?

Ant is one of the most widely used Java build systems around today. Nearly
every project (including your own) uses it.

Tomcat gets 100,000k downloads a MONTH!

Dude, I haven't seen you even get close to finishing a single project yet. I
haven't even seen you be stable anywhere yet.

My confidence that you will be working on OP.org for the next 10 years is
currently at -10000000000.

Yup.

A large portion of the code that you did on Jetspeed has long since been
replaced.

Good luck yourself. Maybe this time you will actually finish something
within the next 10 years...

Don't you think this is illogical?  It doesn't matter where you innovate just
that it is done in an open manner.

Again... Doesn't matter what the ASF thinks.  It matters what the FSF (and
Stallman) thinks.

I think you miss the point:

- - say you are right.  What happens?  Nothing.  You get to use the BSD

- - say I am right.  What happpens?  Both licenses can be used by both camps and
  everyone is happy.

allows me plenty fo time to work within the ASF.

Not by my definition.  I don't see Ant, Velocity etc as being anything other
than a revolution which is 6 months out.  These are also tools which impact a
very small percentage of the population.

The work we are doing under OpenPrivacy is at least on a 10 year timespan and
should affect the entire population of the Internet.  ... THAT is a revolution.

Yeah... you are right.  What was I thinking.  The work I did on Jetspeed was
terrible and everyone should stop using/working on it.  Oh wait... don't think
that will happen because a lot of people like Jetspeed and want to see it move
forward.

I hope the Jetspeed team continues and succeeds with all their goals.  The only
differences WRT Reptile/Jetspeed are that Reptile has a broader set of goals
(IMO) and we just have an architecture philosophy difference.

Correct. Why? Because it would have you attempting to be a part of this
project and not some concoction that you came up with yourself.

Bullshit. I already told you that we are doing that as well as making
Turbine smaller. We just released 2.2a2. GO LOOK AT IT.

I'm not asking you to do that. I'm asking you to look at Turbine where it is
today. Even when you did spend time here, you didn't even bother to fully
grasp it. It shows in your badly done Jetspeed code.

Catalina is a revolution.

For starters... don't put words in my mouth.  Did I say that Jetspeed sucks?
No. I was very careful not to even *remotely* give that impression.

What I want you to be open minded about is the technical merits of Reptile.

I am a firm believer in Natural Selection and I believe that the best man will
win..

I want you to think of this.  If I proposed an alternative architecture and
called it Jetspeed 2.0 would your reaction have been so extreme?  I don't think
so.

fine... and you get to use Reptile under the BSD license... so no problem.

I assume you are referring to Talon?  Talon has two major advantages.  It is
SIMPLE!!! ... and it will also include Reputation based component selection
which has never been done anywhere before.

I don't view it this way and in fact I think that this stuff is significantly

Sure ... ok... let's analyze this.

 1. Turbine is not dual licensed and is not available under the GPL.  Huge
    restriction to my freedoms.  IE I can't use it when I put on my GPL hat.

 2. The main objections I have to Turbine is that it is WAY TOO BIG.  When some
    of this stuff moves to the Commons this will be negated.

 3. I have not had time to work within the ASF because I am spending all my time
    working on OpenPrivacy.  Hopefully this will change soon.

 4. I don't have the time to fix EVERY project.  I spend around 15 hours a day
    hacking on code... where will I get the time to work on the Turbine project?

> #2. Tell me the truth, when was the last time you really took a good look at

I was trying to ship Jetspeed on a *real* timetable.  Something which the
Turbine project didn't think was worth their time.  I didn't have time to
rewrite Jetspeed ever day because the Turbine API changed.

> You left a huge mess behind yourself and now you come back expecting or even

There are number of ways one can categorize another's personality.  One is as a
revolutionary and yet another is as an evolutionary.

I fall into the former category.  It is what I am good at.  OpenPrivacy
technologies are revolutionary and if you have an evolutionary personality I
don't expect you to understand/appreciate them.

The ASF *thrives* as an evolutionary model.  Anyone who acts as a revolutionary
within the ASF is quickly crushed under opposition.  Reptile will start to make
sense soon but I expect you to still take a stuborn stance.

I think that one of the *best* features of the Open Source model is that
revolutionaries and evolutionaries can work together.  Clearly Jetspeed has been
in the evolutionary process for a while now.
