+<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>
+<p>This style guide is intended to help the computer professional produce better Java programs. It presents a set of specific guidelines for using the features of Java in a disciplined manner. The goal is to develop high quality, reliable, reusable, portable software. For a number of reasons, no programming language can ensure the achievements of these desirable objectives on its own. Programming must be embedded in a disciplined development process that addresses a number of topics in a well managed way. The use of Java is one of those. It must conform to good programming practice based on well established software engineering principles. This style guide is intended to bridge the gap between these principles and the actual practice of programming in Java.</p>
+<p>Clear, readable, understandable source text eases program evolution, adaptation and maintenance. First, such source text is more likely to be correct and reliable. Second, effective code adaptation is a prerequisite to code reuse, a technique that has the potential for drastic reductions in system development costs. Easy adaptation requires thorough understanding of the software, and that is facilitated considerably by clarity. Finally, since maintenance (really evolution) is a costly process that continues throughout the life of a system, clarity plays a major role in keeping maintenance costs down. Over the entire life cycle, code has to be read and understood far more often than it is written; the investment of effort in writing readable, understandable code is thus well worthwhile. Many of the guidelines in this style guide are designed to promote clarity of the source text.</p>
+<p>This style guide is intended for those involved in the development of real software systems written in Java. Different roles in a software project can exploit the style guide in different ways. The programmer can use it as a reference on good Java style. It can be used in code reviews as a common reference. Finally, lessons learned in real projects can be captured by extending the style guide.</p>
+<h2 id="class-layout-and-comments">Class layout and comments</h2>
+<p>This chapter describes the layout for classes, interfaces, enums and annotations. These all share a set of common properties, so they will be described together and for readability all called 'classes' here.</p>
+<h3 id="files-and-filenames">Files and filenames</h3>
+<p>Files longer than 2000 lines are cumbersome and should be avoided.</p>
+<h4 id="file-names">File names</h4>
+<p>The file must be named after the class it represents. As for most cases each file contains only one class, this is an easy naming convention. For nested or inner classes the name of the main class must be the name of the file. As names in Java are case-sensitive, the filename is case-sensitive also.</p>
+<h4 id="file-organization">File organization</h4>
+<p>Each Java source file contains a single class or interface. Of course, this excludes inner classes as these must be defined without an (outer) class, and thus in the same file.</p>
+<p>Java source files have the following ordering:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>beginning comments;</li>
+<li>package and import statements;</li>
+<li>class and interface declarations.</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="beginning-comments">Beginning comments</h4>
+<p>Beginning comments are used for licensing and copyright information only. Here at Apache, we embed the ASL 2.0 headers at the top of every file. Note that they are not according to the JavaDoc style (See: How to write doc comments for JavaDoc - Sun Microsystems, Inc.).</p>
+<h5 id="package-and-import-statements">Package and import statements</h5>
+<p>The first non-comment line of most Java source files is a package statement. After an empty line import statements can follow. For example:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="kn">package</span> <span class="n">org</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">apache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">ace</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">core</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">ui</span><span class="o">;</span>
+
+<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">java.awt.Frame</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">java.io.InputStream</span><span class="o">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>A few notes must be made here:</p>
+<ol>
+<li><em>Package rules.</em> When not using an explicit package statement in your code the code still is in a package, the default package. This easily results in name clashes and as package naming should be a part of the design, always use an explicit package name. For naming rules of packages see <a href="#namingconventions">naming conventions</a>;</li>
+<li><em>Import statements</em> need to be explicit in order to overcome name clashes. They must be grouped by name;</li>
+<li><em>Import order.</em> First in this section should be the standard Java imports like: java.lang.Throwable. Second should be the Java extensions (i.e. javax), third, the third party stuff. Finally the project-specific imports should be added.</li>
+</ol>
+<h5 id="class-interface-enum-and-annotation-declarations">Class, interface, enum and annotation declarations</h5>
+<p>The following comment block is an example for the comment that belongs to the declaration of a class, interface, enum or annotation. The JavaDoc syntax results in the following block:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="cm">/**</span>
+<span class="cm"> * Configuration manager. Manages the configuration of an application. Has features</span>
+<span class="cm"> * to import and export whole configurations and notifies components that need to</span>
+<span class="cm"> * receive settings.</span>
+<span class="cm"> */</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>The following table describes the parts of a class, interface, enum or annotation declaration, in the order that they should appear.</p>
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr>
+<th>Part of declaration</th>
+<th>Notes</th>
+</tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>documentation</td>
+<td>According to comment block as shown above.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>class, interface, enum or annotation statement</td>
+<td></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>(static) variables</td>
+<td>These should be grouped by functionality rather than by scope.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>instance variables</td>
+<td>These should be grouped by functionality rather than by scope.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>constructors</td>
+<td>Start with the default constructor if any.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>methods</td>
+<td>These methods should also be grouped by functionality rather than by scope or accessibility. E.g. a private class method can be in between two public instance methods. The goal is to make reading and understanding the code easier. When implementing an interface, group the methods that are part of the interface.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>inner classes</td>
+<td>Are placed at the bottom of the file.</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+<h5 id="annotations">Annotations</h5>
+<p>Annotations for classes and methods should be done on the line directly above the class or method. They should be indented to the same level. An example:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="nd">@Manageable</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">description</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">"Starts the system."</span><span class="o">)</span>
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">start</span><span class="o">()</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="c1">// ...</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Annotations for parameters can be inlined like this:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">setValue</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="nd">@Validation</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s">"x > 0 && x < 10"</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="s">"Should be between 0 and 10."</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="c1">// ...</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h3 id="indentation">Indentation</h3>
+<p>Four spaces should be used as unit of indentation. Use spaces or let your editor convert tabs to spaces as some editors might show the tabs different than they were intended! Tabs <em>must</em> be set <em>exactly</em> every 4 spaces.</p>
+<h4 id="line-length">Line length</h4>
+<p>There is no explicit limit for the length of a line. Make sure that the flow of the code is clear and that, when printing the file, it is well formed when using a reasonable font.</p>
+<h4 id="wrapping-lines">Wrapping lines</h4>
+<p>When an expression will not fit on a single line, break it according to these general principles:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>break after a comma;</li>
+<li>break before an operator;</li>
+<li>prefer higher level breaks to lower level breaks;</li>
+<li>indent the new line with a tab;</li>
+<li>if the above rules lead to confusing code or to code that's squished up against the right margin, please use common sense.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="comment">Comment</h3>
+<h4 id="comment-styles">Comment styles</h4>
+<p>The Java language supports three different kinds of comments:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>single line comments;</li>
+<li>block comments;</li>
+<li>JavaDoc comments.</li>
+</ol>
+<h5 id="single-line-comments">Single line comments</h5>
+<p>The compiler ignores everything from <code>//</code> to the end of the line. Use this style when adding a description or some kind of explanation on the same line of code or the line above.</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">a</span><span class="o">;</span> <span class="c1">// acceleration of the car</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// all names that should be searched</span>
+<span class="n">String</span><span class="o">[]</span> <span class="n">names</span><span class="o">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h5 id="block-comments">Block comments</h5>
+<p>The compiler ignores everything from <code>/*</code> to <code>*/</code>. Use this style for internal comments and copyright headers.</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="cm">/*</span>
+<span class="cm"> * This code is Copyright (c) 2012 Apache Software Foundation. All rights reserved.</span>
+<span class="cm"> * You are not allowed to remember or reproduce anything you read below.</span>
+<span class="cm"> */</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h5 id="javadoc-comments">JavaDoc comments</h5>
+<p>This indicates a documentation comment (doc comment, for short). The compiler ignores this kind of comment, just like it ignores comments that use <code>/*</code> and <code>*/</code>. The JavaDoc tool uses doc comments when preparing automatically generated documentation (See: JavaDoc keywords and HTML tags). Note that JavaDoc only uses this documentation when it occurs at an expected position in the file like the class definition or a member declaration. </p>
+<p>These comments are used to provide English descriptions of the classes, interfaces, enums, annotations, methods and the description of data structures and algorithms. These comments should be used at the beginning of each class and before each method. The official JavaDoc guidelines (see references at the end of this document) should be followed, as they provide a good and clear writing style.</p>
+<p>A method block comment looks as follows:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="cm">/**</span>
+<span class="cm"> * Position the splitter location at a specified position.</span>
+<span class="cm"> * This method can for instance be used when the last position</span>
+<span class="cm"> * is stored as a preference setting for the user.</span>
+<span class="cm"> *</span>
+<span class="cm"> * @param position New position of divider, defined in pixels</span>
+<span class="cm"> * from the left of the containing window.</span>
+<span class="cm"> * @exception org.apache.ace.units.si.exceptions.PositionException Whenever</span>
+<span class="cm"> * an invalid position is passed.</span>
+<span class="cm"> * @see com.sun.java.swing.JSplitPane</span>
+<span class="cm"> */</span>
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">setSplitterLocation</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">position</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="kd">throws</span> <span class="n">PositionException</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h6 id="html-tags">HTML tags</h6>
+<p>For class headers, method headers and member variables JavaDoc is used in order to generate API documentation. Some HTML-tags that can be used in order to make the comment blocks more readable:</p>
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr>
+<th>Tag</th>
+<th>Short description</th>
+</tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td><code><p></code></td>
+<td>New paragraph.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><code><br></code></td>
+<td>Break, a carriage return. For separation of two paragraphs, usage of <code><p></code> is preferred.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><code><ul><li></li></ul></code></td>
+<td>Unordered list of items. Each item should start with a <code><li></code> tag. Most browsers format this as a bullet list.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><code><code></code></code></td>
+<td>Code samples. Use this when refering to class names, method names, parameter names, etc.</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+<p>There is no need to embed the parameter name in the <code>@param</code> tag in <code><code></code> tags; this is done by JavaDoc automatically. The same holds for the exception name in the <code>@exception</code> or <code>@throws</code> tag. In the clarifying text however, use the <code><code></code> tags when refering to parameter names etc. The example below shows the <code><code></code> tag being used for the array parameter in the text, but not in its definition.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="cm">/**</span>
+<span class="cm"> * Prints a range from an object array. The range</span>
+<span class="cm"> * is specified by the first element to print, and</span>
+<span class="cm"> * ranges to the last element of the array.</span>
+<span class="cm"> *</span>
+<span class="cm"> * @param list contains the objects to print</span>
+<span class="cm"> * @param first index of first element in </span>
+<span class="cm"> * the <code>list</code> to print</span>
+<span class="cm"> */</span>
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">printRange</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">List</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">Printable</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">list</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">first</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h2 id="java-syntax-and-its-layout">Java syntax and its layout</h2>
+<h3 id="declarations">Declarations</h3>
+<p>When declaring a variable or method make the accessibility as restrictive as possible. When using multiple keywords use the following ordering of keywords:</p>
+<ol>
+<li><em>accessibility</em> - Start with the accessibility as it makes clear if the method or variable is reachable at all;</li>
+<li><em>static</em> (if applicable);</li>
+<li><em>final</em> (if applicable);</li>
+<li><em>return type</em> (methods only) or type (for variables) - For readability, the type is as close to the name as possible.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>This order is also compatible with the order that is used in Java for the main() method. This results in following sequence:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c1">// A familiar one:</span>
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">static</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">main</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">[]</span> <span class="n">args</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{}</span>
+<span class="kd">private</span> <span class="kd">static</span> <span class="n">String</span> <span class="n">m_lastCreated</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="kc">null</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="kd">private</span> <span class="kd">static</span> <span class="kd">final</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">RED</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">4711</span><span class="o">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h4 id="number-per-line">Number per line</h4>
+<p>One declaration per line is recommended since it encourages commenting and it does not lead to confusing code. It also is more clear about the explicit initialization of variables as discussed in Initialization.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>

+
+
+<h4 id="placement">Placement</h4>
+<p>In a method, declare local variables just before they are needed. This overcomes the problem of a big list of parameters at the beginning of a method and the use of a variable becomes more clearly in the context of the code, e.g. its initialization.</p>
+<h4 id="initialization">Initialization</h4>
+<p>The initialization of class variables is strictly not necessary because of the default initialization that takes place for these kinds of members. For some types, e.g. Booleans, this requires detailed knowledge of all the default values so it is more clear and explicit to initialize each member. </p>
+<p>Variables that are used and declared within methods must always be initialized explicitly (the compiler will generate an error when you forget this).</p>
+<h4 id="class-and-interface-declarations">Class and Interface Declarations</h4>
+<p>When coding Java classes and interfaces, the following formatting rules should be followed:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>no space between a method and its parameter list;</li>
+<li><code>{</code> appears at the end of the same line as the declaration;</li>
+<li><code>}</code> starts a line by itself indented to match its corresponding opening statement, except when it is a null statement, in which the case the <code>}</code> should appear immediately after the <code>{</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">class</span> <span class="nc">DefaultStrategy</span> <span class="kd">extends</span> <span class="n">Strategy</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="kd">private</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">m_attempts</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="o">;</span>
+
+ <span class="kd">public</span> <span class="nf">DefaultStrategy</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">attempts</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="kd">super</span><span class="o">();</span>
+ <span class="n">m_attempts</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">attempts</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="o">}</span>
+
+ <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">execute</span><span class="o">()</span> <span class="o">{}</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h3 id="statements">Statements</h3>
+<h4 id="simple-statements">Simple statements</h4>
+<p>Each line should contain at most one statement.</p>
+<h4 id="compound-statements">Compound statements</h4>
+<p>Compound statements are statements that contain lists of statements enclosed in braces ("{...}"):</p>
+<ul>
+<li>The enclosed statements should be indented one more level than the compound statement;</li>
+<li>The opening brace should be at the end of the line that begins the compound statement; the closing brace should begin a line and be indented to the beginning of the compound statement;</li>
+<li>Braces are used around all statements, even single statements, when they are part of a control structure, such as a if-else or for statement. This makes it easier to add statements without accidentally introducing bugs due to forgetting to add braces.</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="if-if-else-if-else-if-else-statements">if, if-else, if else-if else statements</h4>
+<p>There are a lot of nested possibilities for if-else constructions. All these variations can be programmed in very cryptic ways that easily and often will lead to buggy code. By being more explicit in the used coding style a lot of confusion can be taken away.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>When using only one statement in a compound block brackets are optional. It is good practice, and therefore required, to always use brackets because mistakes can be made easily when adding a second statement and brackets are forgotten.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>The following example illustrates the correct use of brackets in a few different if-then-else constructions:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">condition</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statement1</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="n">statement2</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">else</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statement3</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+
+<span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">condition</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statement1</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="n">statement2</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">else</span> <span class="nf">if</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">condition1</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statement3</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="n">statement4</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">else</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statement5</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="n">statement6</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Note that in the example the else if construction is started at a new line so the statement can not be overlooked.</p>
+<h4 id="switch">switch</h4>
+<p>When using a switch statement use following guidelines:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Consider including a default case, unless it would do nothing. The break in the default case is redundant, but it prevents a fall-through error if later another case is added;</li>
+<li>The so-called fall-through construction should be avoided. Only when there are good reasons to use it, make sure that it is very clear that a fall-through is used (comment it).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The next example shows the sample code that uses the guidelines for a switch statement:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">switch</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">condition</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="k">case</span> <span class="nl">A:</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="c1">// falls through here, because...</span>
+ <span class="k">case</span> <span class="nl">B:</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="k">break</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="k">default</span><span class="o">:</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="k">break</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h4 id="try-catch">try - catch</h4>
+<p>A try - catch statement should have the following format:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">try</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">catch</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">ExceptionClass</span> <span class="n">e</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>When using finally to add code that always will be executed this will look like:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">try</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">catch</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">ExceptionClass</span> <span class="n">e</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="k">finally</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">statements</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Note that the catch and the finally start at a new line in order to be compliant to the guidelines for if-then-else statements.</p>
+<h4 id="for-loops">for loops</h4>
+<p>New style for loops are generally preferred over old style ones, unless you explicitly need the index, or you have to make the code run on pre-Java 5 virtual machines.</p>
+<p>Old style, a good example that needs the index anyway:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c1">// lookup a value in a list, return the index</span>
+<span class="n">List</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">Element</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">list</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="k">for</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="kt">int</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="o">;</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o"><</span> <span class="n">list</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">size</span><span class="o">();</span> <span class="n">i</span><span class="o">++)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">equals</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">list</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="o">))</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">index</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>New style, a good example that iterates over a list without any need for an index or type casts:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c1">// iterate over a list, printing all values</span>
+<span class="n">List</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">Element</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">list</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="k">for</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">Element</span> <span class="n">e</span> <span class="o">:</span> <span class="n">list</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">System</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">out</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">println</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s">" - "</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">e</span><span class="o">);</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h3 id="white-space">White Space</h3>
+<h4 id="blank-lines">Blank lines</h4>
+<p>Blank lines improve readability by setting of sections of code that are logically related. One blank line should always be used in the following circumstances:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>between class and interface definitions;</li>
+<li>between methods;</li>
+<li>before a block or single line comment;</li>
+<li>between logical sections inside a method to improve readability.</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="blank-spaces">Blank spaces</h4>
+<p>Blank spaces should be used in the following circumstances:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>A keyword followed by a parenthesis should be separated by a space:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">while</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">index</span> <span class="o">></span> <span class="mi">5</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="c1">// ...</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Note that blanks should not be used between a method call and its opening parenthesis. This helps to distinguish keywords from function calls;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Blanks should appear after commas in argument lists;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>All binary and ternary operators except "." should be separated from their operands by spaces. Blanks should never separate unary operators such as unary minus, increment("++") and decrement("--") from their operands:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">+=</span> <span class="n">c</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">d</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">b</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">/</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">c</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">d</span><span class="o">);</span>
+<span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">b</span> <span class="o">></span> <span class="n">c</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">?</span> <span class="n">b</span> <span class="o">:</span> <span class="n">c</span><span class="o">;</span>
+<span class="n">xCoord</span><span class="o">--;</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The expressions in a for statement should be separated by blanks:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">for</span> <span class="o">(</span><span class="n">expr1</span><span class="o">;</span> <span class="n">cond1</span><span class="o">;</span> <span class="n">expr2</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Casts should be followed by a blank:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">myInstance</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">doIt</span><span class="o">((</span><span class="n">TreeFrame</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="n">frame</span><span class="o">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="namingconventions">Naming conventions</h3>
+<p>Naming conventions make programs more understandable by making them easier to read. They can also give information about the function of the identifier.</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>(inner) classes, interfaces, enums and annotations</strong></dt>
+<dd>Names should be nouns, in mixed case with the first letter of each word capitalised. Try to keep your names simple and descriptive. Use whole words and avoid acronyms and abbreviations.<br/>
+Examples:<br/>
+<code>class Raster</code><br/>
+<code>class TreeFrame</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>interfaces</strong></dt>
+<dd>Like class names, but if there is a name clash, the interface wins.<br/>
+Example:<br/>
+<code>interface RemoteRepository extends Repository</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>services</strong></dt>
+<dd>Same as interfaces, so don't append "Service" as you usually do not know if an interface is a service or not.<br/>
+Example:<br/>
+<code>interface ConnectionFactory</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>implementation classes</strong></dt>
+<dd>If a class implements an interface, it should use the name of the interface as part of its name, adding something specific for this implementation to it, or <em>Impl</em> if that does not make sense.<br/>
+Examples:<br/>
+<code>class FileBasedRepository implements Repository</code><br/>
+<code>class VersionServlet implements HttpServlet</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>exceptions</strong></dt>
+<dd>Like class names; always ending in "Exception".<br/>
+Example:<br/>
+<code>InputException</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>methods</strong></dt>
+<dd>Methods should be verbs in mixed case with the first letter lowercase. Within each method name capital letters separate words. Property methods or get-set methods are used as follows:
+When a method is used to get a value start the method name with 'get'. When a method is used to set a value start the method name with 'set'. When a method returns a boolean start the method name with 'is'.<br/>
+Examples:<br/>
+<code>run();</code><br/>
+<code>runFast();</code><br/>
+<code>setBackground();</code><br/>
+<code>isOptional();</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>variables (except for (constant) static final variables and member variables)</strong></dt>
+<dd>All variables are in mixed case with a lowercase first letter. Words are separated by capital letters.<br/>
+Examples:<br/>
+<code>int index;</code><br/>
+<code>float myWidth;</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>member variables</strong></dt>
+<dd>The same capitalisation as for normal variables prefixed with 'm_'.<br/>
+Examples:<br/>
+<code>int m_index;</code><br/>
+<code>float m_myWidth;</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>constant (static final) variables, enum names</strong></dt>
+<dd>Names should be all uppercase with words separated by underscores ('_').<br/>
+Example:<br/>
+<code>public static final int MAX_LIMIT = 99;</code></dd>
+<dt><strong>packages</strong></dt>
+<dd>Lowercase only; avoid lengthy package names; always start with <em>org.apache.ace</em>.<br/>
+Example:<br/>
+<code>package org.apache.ace.demo.bundle;</code></dd>

+servers. How many targets can be handled by a single server depends a bit on the number of
+changes that are made to the metadata, and how often each target contacts the ACE server
+to get the latest changes. Just to give an impression of what Apache ACE can handle, we
+tested a single ACE server, during the development of ACE, with several hundred of
+targets, which caused not real problems apart from a significant load on your disk and
+CPUs. If you come into a situation in which a single ACE server is not able to cope with
+the load of your targets, or you want to replicate your metadata across several servers to
+achieve better availability, you can use this document to set up and configure relay
+servers.</p>

+<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
+<p>In ACE, each target only talks to a single ACE server at a time. From this perspective, an
+ACE server only serves two major tasks: </p>
+<ol>
+<li>receiving and storing log information from targets, and;</li>
+<li>providing deployment packages containing software updates.</li>
+</ol>
+<p id="fig1">In situations where lots of targets need to be provisioned with software, having only a
+single ACE server can impose major scalability and availability issues. To solve this, ACE
+can be set up to act as relay server for an upstream (or master) ACE server. This allows a
+tree-topology of ACE servers to be created that can distribute the load of many targets
+evenly, as denoted in the following image:</p>
+<p><img alt="Figure 1: ACE server topology" src="/docs/ace_server_topology.png" title="Figure 1: An example server topology, showing multiple servers relaying information from an upstream server." /><br />
+<strong>Figure 1</strong>: An example server topology, showing multiple servers relaying information from an upstream server. Many other topologies are possible as well.</p>
+<p>Note that target logs need to be propagated to the main ACE server in order to make this
+information available for further inspection. For example, a target operator might want to
+know the current status of a target, even if this target is not directly served by the
+main ACE server. </p>
+<p id="fig2">An ACE relay server is a stripped down ACE server that only includes the bare minimum
+functionality to serve its targets. In addition to accepting log-updates from targets and
+provisioning software updates to its targets, it relays log information it received from
+its targets to the upstream ACE server and replicates (at least) the <tt>deployment</tt>
+repository from the upstream ACE server for its own use. A schematic overview of the
+functional blocks in a relay server is shown in figure 2:</p>
+<p><img alt="Figure 2: Functional overview relay server" src="/docs/relay_functional_overview.png" title="Figure 2: A functional overview of how a relay server functions." /><br />
+<strong>Figure 2</strong>: A functional overview of how a relay server functions.</p>
+<p>In the following sections, each of these functional blocks will be explained in more depth
+along with how to configure them. The configuration examples are shown as simple key-value
+pairs separated with an equals (<tt>=</tt>) sign. Lines starting with a hash (<tt>#</tt>)
+are considered comments. </p>
+<h2 id="log-synchronisation-between-target-and-relay">Log synchronisation between target and relay</h2>
+<p>Like in a single-server scenario, the relay must allow a target to upload its log before
+it can be synchronised with the main ACE server.</p>
+<p>To configure the storage of logs from targets on the relay server, we need to instantiate
+a log store by supplying the following configuration to the
+<tt>org.apache.ace.log.server.store.factory</tt> managed service factory:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># a symbolic name used to reference to this store from other services</span>
+<span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">auditlog</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>This will instantiate a new log store service named <tt>auditlog</tt><sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> that can be used
+to store the log information of targets.</p>
+<p>To allow targets to upload their logs to the relay server, a log-servlet needs to be
+instantiated. This is done by supplying the following configuration to the
+<tt>org.apache.ace.log.server.servlet.factory</tt> managed service factory:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the symbolic name of the actual log store to store the uploaded logs in</span>
+<span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">auditlog</span>
+<span class="c"># the alias/endpoint at which the servlet is registered</span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.server.servlet.endpoint</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">/auditlog</span>
+<span class="c"># whether or not to use authentication</span>
+<span class="na">authentication.enabled</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">false</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>This will instantiate a servlet that listens on the <tt>/auditlog</tt><sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2" rel="footnote">2</a></sup> endpoint (for
+example, <tt>http://my.relay.server:8080/auditlog</tt>). The given <tt>name</tt>
+configuration key is used to lookup the actual log store we've created previously.</p>
+<h2 id="log-synchronisation-between-relay-and-main-server">Log synchronisation between relay and main server</h2>
+<p>With the log store and servlet configured and in place, a target is now able to
+synchronise its logs with the relay server. However, once uploaded to the relay server,
+the logs will not propagate automatically to the main ACE server. A separate
+log-synchronisation task is responsible for this. To enable this task, we need to supply
+the following configuration to the <tt>org.apache.ace.log.server.task.factory</tt> managed
+service factory:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the symbolic name of the actual log store to synchronise</span>
+<span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">auditlog</span>
+<span class="c"># how to synchronise logs, can be 'pull', 'push' or 'pushpull'</span>
+<span class="na">mode</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">push</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>This will create a "task" service that will push all log information from the
+<tt>auditlog</tt><sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> store to the main server. The <tt>mode</tt> configuration key
+denotes how to synchronise with the main server:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><tt>push</tt> synchronises (or "pushes") the logs from the relay server to the main server and is typically used in a relaying situation as described in this document;</li>
+<li><tt>pull</tt> synchronises (or "pulls") the logs from the main server to the relay server and is typically used to create secondary backup servers and is not further discussed in this document;</li>
+<li><tt>pushpull</tt> will perform a two-way synchronisation between relay and main server and can be used to support fail-over situations.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In addition, the log synchronisation task (and other tasks as well, see below) needs to
+know what upstream server it should synchronise with. For this information, it uses the
+ACE discovery service, which is configured by supplying, for example, the following
+configuration to the <tt>org.apache.discovery.property</tt><sup id="fnref:3"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:3" rel="footnote">3</a></sup> managed service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># what is the URL to the *main* ACE server</span>
+<span class="na">serverURL</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">http://my.main.server:8080</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h2 id="deployment-provider">Deployment provider</h2>
+<p>The relay needs to have at least a deployment repository<sup id="fnref:4"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:4" rel="footnote">4</a></sup>. This repository is a
+verbatim copy of the deployment repository on the master server and as such needs to be
+replicated periodically. The configuration of the deployment provider consists of three
+parts: a repository store, the repository servlet, and a repository provider.</p>
+<p>To create a "slave" deployment repository<sup id="fnref:5"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:5" rel="footnote">5</a></sup> store, the following configuration needs to
+be supplied to the <tt>org.apache.ace.server.repository.factory</tt> managed service
+factory:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the symbolic name of the repository, should be "deployment"</span>
+<span class="na">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">deployment</span>
+<span class="c"># the customer name, should be equal to the customer name used on the master server</span>
+<span class="na">customer</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">apache</span>
+<span class="c"># indicates that this is a slave/read-only repository</span>
+<span class="na">master</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">false</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>To make the repository store accessible through a servlet, we need to supply the following
+configuration to the <tt>org.apache.ace.repository.servlet.RepositoryServlet</tt> managed
+service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the endpoint on which the deployment repository store is accessible</span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.server.servlet.endpoint</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">/repository</span>
+<span class="c"># whether or not to enable authentication for this endpoint</span>
+<span class="na">authentication.enabled</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">false</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>This will instantiate a servlet that listens on the <tt>/repository</tt> endpoint (for
+example, <tt>http://my.relay.server:8080/repository</tt>).</p>
+<p>With the repository store and servlet configured, we can configure the deployment
+repository provider, which is used to collect information about deployment artefacts that
+should be deployed on a target. The deployment repository provider is configured by
+supplying the following configuration to the
+<tt>org.apache.ace.deployment.provider.repositorybased</tt> managed service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the URL on which the deployment repository store can be accessed</span>
+<span class="na">url</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">http://my.relay.server:8080/repository</span>
+<span class="c"># the symbolic name of the repository, should be "deployment"</span>
+<span class="na">name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">deployment</span>
+<span class="c"># the customer name, should be equal to the customer name used on the master server</span>
+<span class="na">customer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">apache</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h2 id="deployment-servlet">Deployment servlet</h2>
+<p>The target is only interested in downloading deployment packages containing the updates
+for its software and/or its management agent. To support this, two servlets need to be
+instantiated, one for accessing the deployment packages of the target software, and one
+for accessing the deployment packages for the management agent.</p>
+<p>To configure the servlet responsible for providing deployment packages of the target
+software, we need to supply the following configuration to the
+<tt>org.apache.ace.deployment.servlet</tt> managed service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the endpoint on which the deployment servlet for software-updates is accessible</span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.server.servlet.endpoint</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">/deployment</span>
+<span class="c"># whether or not to enable authentication for this endpoint</span>
+<span class="na">authentication.enabled</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">false</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>To configure the servlet responsible for providing agent updates, we need to supply the
+following configuration to the <tt>org.apache.ace.deployment.servlet.agent</tt> managed
+service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># the endpoint on which the deployment servlet for agent-updates is accessible</span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.server.servlet.endpoint</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">/agent</span>
+<span class="c"># whether or not to enable authentication for this endpoint</span>
+<span class="na">authentication.enabled</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">false</span>
+<span class="c"># the OBR used for retrieving the agent software</span>
+<span class="na">obr.url</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">http://my.obr.server:8080/obr/</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h2 id="task-scheduler">Task scheduler</h2>
+<p>With the synchronisation and repository replication tasks in place, we need to tell the
+ACE scheduler to periodically execute these tasks. This is done by supplying the following
+configuration to the <tt>org.apache.ace.scheduler.cfg</tt> managed service:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="c"># execute all LogSyncTasks once every 2 seconds...</span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.log.server.task.LogSyncTask</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">2000</span>
+<span class="c"># Synchronise with the master repository every 5 seconds... </span>
+<span class="na">org.apache.ace.repository.task.RepositoryReplicationTask</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">5000</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>The relay server is now completely configured and ready to serve its targets. </p>
+<p>A complete runnable example can be found in the <tt>run-relay</tt> project of the ACE
+source repository. This example project starts a relay server on <tt>localhost:8282</tt>
+and expects its upstream server to run at <tt>localhost:8080</tt> A list of all required
+bundles to run a relay server can be found in the <tt>relay.bndrun</tt> file.</p>
+<h2 id="target-configuration">Target configuration</h2>
+<p>To only thing that a target needs to know about the relay server is its (base) URL. This
+can be supplied when starting the management agent on the target by adding the following
+argument to its command line:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre>-Dagent.discovery.serverurls<span class="o">=</span>http://my.relay.server:8080/
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>In fact, the <tt>agent.discovery.serverurls</tt> can take multiple server URLs (separated
+by commas) to support a simple form of fail-over, like
+<tt>http://first.relay.server:8080/,http://second.relay.server:8080</tt>.</p>

+ <h1>Audit Log Protocol</h1>
+ <div class="clear"></div>
+ <div id="content"><p>Audit logs record life cycle changes on targets. As such, an audit log can be used to see changes over time and track what is actually on a target. This design describes the protocol to exchange audit log information.</p>
+<p>Each target has an audit log. If the log somehow gets lost on the target, it will generate a new log with a new unique ID. A log contains entries, where each entry gets a sequence number.</p>
+<h1 id="protocol">Protocol</h1>
+<p>The audit log protocol consists of three commands. The first command can be used for two parties to exchange information about available audit log entry sequence numbers. The other two commands allow you to send and receive data.</p>
+<h1 id="querying-log-information">Querying log information</h1>
+<p>This command can be used to exchange information about available audit log entry sequence numbers. Information is exchanged between either a target and a (relay) server, or a relay server and a server. You ask the other party what sequence numbers it has, either for a specific target or for all targets. The result is a collection of sequence numbers. You can then act on that, sending the other party the entries it's missing and asking for entries you don't have.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>GET auditlog/query</code> - returns a full list of sequence numbers</li>
+<li><code>GET auditlog/query?gwid=myid&logid=2007-07-01</code> - returns sequence numbers for a specific target</li>
+<li><code>GET auditlog/query?filter=(vendor='luminis')</code> - returns sequence numbers for any target that matches the filter</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="about-queries">About queries</h3>
+<p>Queries (for log information or entries) come in three forms:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Without any filter, you simply get everything.</li>
+<li>With a filter on certain keys, all values of specified keys will have to match.</li>
+<li>With an LDAP filter, where you can filter on arbitrary keys and use compound expressions and pattern matching.</li>
+</ol>
+<h1 id="sending-log-information">Sending log information</h1>
+<p>By sending log information, you're pushing it to the other party. You will probably first have figured out, by querying, what data actually needs to be sent.</p>
