[VOTE] 5.5.3 Stability Rating
Hi,
Tomcat 5.5.3 has been available for about a week now, so it's time for a
stability vote. I tentatively rated it Alpha when releasing as my own
personal impression, but I haven't had any significant issues with it
myself. It passes our internal tests, and with the StandardWrapper
hotfix it passes the Servlet and JSP TCKs. So:
Tomcat 5.5.3 should be rated:
[ ] Alpha still, because ???
[ X ] Beta, it's getting closer to stable [what's missing?]
[ ] Stable, it's rock solid
My vote, as shown above, is for Beta. What's missing from Stable
rating: StandardWrapper hotfix, a few minor features for the JDT
compiler that are done only for the Ant compiler, JDT compiler support
for J2SE 5.0, a few bells and whistles.
This vote will run for about 72 hours as usual. Also as usual, only
committer votes are binding, but opinions from other readers are
welcome. Thanks,
Yoav Shapira http://www.yoavshapira.com

Sorry for the late vote. Better late than never. ;-)

Unfortunately due to an acquisition I am jammed at work. Cluster features that previously worked and need to be fixed:
1. Farm deployment
I haven't had time to check the other stuff, I know that 5.0.28 had problem with reloading the context where it wouldn't assign a
cluster manager properly when reloading, this worked in 5.0.25,
it could be possible the same problem exists in 5.5

To give an example, in JBoss, I would use the XMBeans model MBean
implementation. I would use XSL to convert the existing descriptors
during the build process, and for the introspected ones, I'll have to
add the same kind of support to XMBeans.
This has an advantage from a configurability and management perspective.
I didn't start yet (right now, I'm still finalizing the design of my
cache), so I don't know at all if it'll be really practical.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this ? The basic functionality of
modeler is to take an object and a descriptor and return an mbean.
This can be made pluggable - a simple interface with a single method is
probably enough to hide most of modeler's logic. But all the descriptors
need to be converted.
But what do you want to use instead and how ? Move the mbean descriptors
to conf/ so it can be replaced with another format ( since this is
specific to modeler ) ?

I can't really help Filip for any clustering issues, but it's a good
build for the rest.
I update my TODO list (it's not a before-stable todo list):
- A simple host manager webapp (with Ant tasks)
- A String cache for ByteChunk and maybe also CharChunk (configurable
and manageable - it needs management, as it will work in two phases:
statistics gathering, and then caching - using system properties and at
runtime with JMX; this is an experiment, and I don't know if it'll be
efficient or useless)
- Allowing pluggability for commons-modeler
- Optimized access log valve

So do we have a first beta ? ;)
(72H/24H = 3 days, so I'm getting impatient :) )
