Minutes: JDO TCK Conference Call Friday, Aug 21, 9 am PDT

[Craig L Russell <Cr...@Sun.COM>]

Attendees: Michelle Caisse, Michael Bouschen, Craig Russell

Agenda:

1. Add annotations for instance callbacks  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-638

There is a new patch that includes the missing metadata for the  
annotations.

An argument can be made that for separation of concerns, multiple  
methods with the same annotation are not only acceptable but  
encouraged. So in this scenario, the only check would be that the  
method be niladic and return void. The order of execution of callbacks/ 
annotated methods is not defined.

So with this approach, mixing annotations and callbacks isn't an error  
condition.

Any other ideas?

I'd also defer checking this in for JDO 2.3 until test cases have been  
written.

2.  tck2 does not compile with JDK 1.5 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-635

Since JDK 1.5 will become EOL soon, we should not spend too much  
energy on this. Propose to document the issue (need to comment out the  
properties line that references the 1.6 pre-processor) in a few places.

3.  Other issues

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-621 The enhancer main  
program is complete and needs to be reviewed. Michael has tested the  
patch on Windows and the subprocess seems to hang. Suggest reading the  
standard output and standard error from the subprocess and look for  
clues.
