[Axis2] Please VOTE for your favorite bug to be fixed.

Dear Axis2 Users,

We are working hard on cleaning up the issues in JIRA. If there is a
bug you definitely want fixed in the forthcoming Axis2 1.3, please add
a comment in the specific bug. Or better still click on the VOTE
button in JIRA and indicate that you would like that bug fixed
quickly.

If you don't see a bug report, please add one and upload whatever you
can that will help with recreating the problem
(wsdl/xsd/request/response/code..). We've marked a lot of items as
blockers. But may end up deciding to downgrade them if there are
workarounds or for other reasons. So it's important to put in your 2
cents in the JIRA via VOTE's/comments.

thanks,
dims

Posted by Amila Suriarachchi <am...@gmail.com>.
Let me put some of my thoughts about blockers and releases.

According to the current rules, we have to have zero blockers to do a
release. So sometimes what we does is downgrade some issue according to
their criticalness. I think this is not a necessity.

As I believe deciding a blocker or not is up to the user. if he do not have
any work around and if he as block due to that issue it is ok to put this as
a blocker. So another person can not change it unless he can give an valid
work around or find an problem with the issue (according to some spaces).

On the other hand as developers we have some limitations. i.e Sometimes we
may unable to fix a blocker (i.e due to technical problems etc..) So there
may be issues which are blockers  but won't fix for the release.

What I am basically saying is this.
Lets say after an release (e.g .Axis2 1.2 ) we got 20 blockers and could fix
17 and 3 left.
if the last 3 going to take lot of time are we supposed to hold the release
until all are fixed? So that every one has to wait until everything fixed.
My guess is we should release with the fixed blockers  and with the new
features have added to the release. But one thing. For any release we can
not have broken features. i.e. which were worked with the earlier release
but not now.

This does not mean we don't do any thing about the reaming 3 blockers. we
can time to time try to fix this with different ways.

For an example in codegen there were some problems with the xmlbeans and adb
after Axis2 1.2. I could fixed most of adb issues and add lot of new featurs
as well (some issues regarding adb-codegen, codgen, wsdl) . But could not
resolve some critical xmlbeans problems although I tried them. So if someone
suggest to stop adding new features until fix all the xmlbeans problems, I
belive that is not an efficient use of time.

And also Since at close to a release everyone concentrating on fixing
issues, if someone report issues on an RC there is high probability of being
fixed them immediately.

Finally this is what I have to say,
As developers we must try our best to resolve blockers. mean time we have to
add new features to the product as well. otherwise it won't evolve.

Thanks.
Amila.

Hi Amila,
   
  Thanks a lot. I have modified my wsdl file to following the standard specification, by modifying to:
   
  <wsdlsoap:body parts="create" use="literal" />
   
  Thanks again.

if you use document literal binding you can not have more than one part unless you delare one
in soap boady.

I am really looking forwards to fixing this one:

Michele,

We did not under the value of the "Fix Version" and we just kept
marking stuff as blockers. if you see my prev email, there are 2
buckets. first bucket is a blocker which mean stuff is totally broken
with no work around. 2nd is let's try to fix this for 1.3 bucket..

Sorry for hijacking this thread.


Can we please also remove the documentation links for our older releases
from the left tool bar of the site. For me it is irritating to see 0.94
documentation still in Axis2 main page.

Can we please move it to some other place?

Re: [Axis2] Please VOTE for your favorite bug to be fixed.

Posted by robert lazarski <ro...@gmail.com>.
Lack of getting the RC's being used by end users has I think been one of the
main causes for instability. I'd really like to try something new this time
around that might get more users using them.

I'm all for  "Release early and often" - in fact arguably we don't do enough
point releases. I realize though that there are lots of deps and its hard to
coordinate all the releases.

Anyways, IIRC the RC's never got put on the download page. The only
announcement is to the list. Other projects have better usage of their RC's
and I think it'd be worth exploring what could be done differently to get
more RC usage of axis2.

I've noticed xmlbeans, for example, has been broken on every release so far.
And while I tested svn in the middle of dev, I never did test the RC's so I
accept part of the blame. This time around I plan on testing xmlbeans on
some of my complex schemas, and the other things I personally use like
spring and the soapmonitor.

Michele, from what I've seen you're had some of the most advanced use cases
of axis2. If you could do some RC testing with some of your use cases I'd
think that'd go a long way to making 1.3 the most stable yet.

No one uses 100% of axis2, but I'd think that if we got more people using
the RC's on _their_ code, it'd help plenty.

no it doesnt. this is a classic chicken and egg issue. thats why we

there was no insult in my comments. My point, instead, is that if you
want new features you can download the last nightly build. If you want
something which works *properly* you download a release. Does it make
sense to release a new version and then ask to people to download the
next nightly build because the release is "broken"?

I think you didn't get my point. " ..there are significant improvements
over the last release .." doesn't mean they are not only new cool
features.  Fault handling was not working properly in the last release
and we fixed it. If you really looked at what we did during the
hackathon then you know how we improved it and how significant was it.
That is what I meant.

I am sorry if my interpretation of "significant improvements" is wrong
coz I know and agree my English is not that good  :)

I do agree with you that we need a reliable Axis2, but that doesn't mean
we need to keep on postponing releases "until" we fix everything.

Ok, let's say we postpone the release. How can you help fixing some
blockers to make it more reliable? What is the plan you have? Just
asking to postpone thinking "some one" will fix blockers and "some day"
we will get a more stable one is nothing more than following a mirage
for me.

Michele,

from prev experience it takes us at least 2-3 RC's and then final.
There is no way we can get thru all that in a couple of days. do you?

Dims,

I disagree with what Eran says, which is "we have a deadline, so  
probably not all bugs will be fixed for the next release". I think  
people would be much more happy to wait 1 or 2 weeks more to have a  
more reliable release than having an unstable one now. Simply  
lowering bug priorities from blockers to critical (or other) doesn't  
mean the tool is bug free (this is what I understand from previous  
emails). And, of course, adding new features will probably mean  
adding new bugs as well.

Michele,

Why do you think that? Blockers are Blockers for the release. If the
blockers are not addressed, there will not be a release. Isn't that
why i sent this email about voting for your bug and adding comments to
make stuff blockers?

What am i missing here?

thanks,
dims

Eran,

your point is "let's add new, cool features", my point is "let's  
build something reliable". I think if you want to use a tool in a  
production environment the second point is much more important.

Michele,

I do not see a point in that. If we have a deadline then everyone is
encouraged to work. If just postpone then we will lose the momentum. And
also of there are significant improvements over the last release then it
is the best to think about a release. I think what we need is to set
realistic goals with deadlines which is what Dims had done.
