UUID Generation Contribution (was RE: Web Interface)

[Steve Viens <st...@viens.net>]

Jeffery,

Contributions are more likely to be accepted if they arrive in a form
that is easily integrated. If you feel like taking the time to refactor
your UUID generator code then it'll be much easier for one of us try it
out. 

For UUID generation all you have to do is refactor so that you implement
the org.apache.juddi.uuidgen.UUIDGen interface. Then all we'd have to do
to take it for a test drive is compile it, drop it in the classpath and
set the juddi.uuidgen property to the name of your implementation.

Lots of questions.  Sheesh. ;)

I've been working on it on my own with the intention of making it an
informal open source project eventually through my own web site
(www.mediafortress.com).  The part I haven't completed is all of the
persistence stuff you already have worked out.  As for whether or not to
integrate the web client with jUDDI, I tend to lean toward seperating
them and just rolling an Ant target that can build a single war if
that's what someone happens to want.  The web interface is 98% percent
finished (needs a little bit more graceful error handling, etc) but I'd
like some time to tweak and refactor a few things before subjecting it
to scrutiny.

I'll work off the assumption that the web client should be a seperate
project and just deploy a demo to one of my servers and the source when
I'm ready.  Given my current workload, I would guess this to take about
2 weeks.  I basically wanted to just check in with you guys and make
sure my stuff wasn't redundant before expending the effort.

On a side note and with respect to UUID's, I noticed that you're
generating type 4 UUID's and I've taken a slightly different approach
you might find interesting.  I've attached the UUID stuff from my
implementation.  Please kindly ignore the ipconfig screen scraping hack
for getting the MAC address.

If attaching files in this manner is consider bad manners, please let me
know and I'll refrain in the future.

Sounds to me like the right approach.

So that raises the question that I was thinking about a few months back
when considering starting something like this.  Should the UDDI Client
be embedded within the jUDDI Registry (also a webapp) or should they be
kept separate.  A web-based UDDI Browser (without a registry) would be
valuable.

How far along are you?  Do you have something we could install and test
drive?  Have you been working on it on your own or is it an active
open-source project already?

That would be correct.  I built mine with a "delegate" layer designed to
abstract the actual connection to the UDDI registry so you could
interact with the registry using the UDDI API or directly manipuate the
registry's internals if that happened to be faster.  I am using UDDI4j,
though.

Jeffrey, no need to shut-up I've had a web-based UI (using Struts) on
the radar for some time now but haven't had the time to really get
started. It would be a very welcome addition.

Can I assume that you're working on something that would interact with
'any' UDDI registry via something line UDDI4j or a similar API?

To Whom It May Concern:

I spoke with Richard Monson-Haefel this week at ApacheCon about a UDDI
server project I've been working on for several months now which I sort
of abandoned once I discovered yours.  He suggested that I contact you
guys and help out.  The main difference is that I built a complete web
interface for mine using struts and I'd be happy to adapt it to work
with jUDDI.  The architecture is such that doing this wouldn't really be
that hard.  If anybody is already working on this, please let me know
and I'll shut up. Otherwise, please let me know what I should do next.

Have a nice day,
