JK2 for AOLserver 4.0

[Alexander Leyke <al...@cs.com>]

Hello,

I am a developer at AOL and have been recently working on a JK2 family 
module for AOLserver. The module is ready now and I'd like to take steps 
necessary to contribute the sources to Tomcat project. I read the 
guidelines for contribution, but still am a bit confused about the 
process, e.g.,
-- should I formulate proposal to a PMC?
-- do I need write permission to CVS to make the submission or posting 
an archive with instructions to tomcat-dev list is the way to go?
-- how do I interact with Decision Makers should the code manifest any 
deficiency?

Please advise.

In the meantime, some details about this software
Name: nsjk2 (libnsjk2.so)
Versions: Tomcat 4.1.18, AOLserver 4.0(beta)
Tested on OS: Solaris 2.7
Compiles under: Forte 6, GCC

Functional Summary:
-- adds support for Java Servlets and JSP to AOLserver environment;
-- supports virtual servers
-- when Tomcat runs in-process and talks with JK2 via JNI channel, Java 
servlets can access "native" dynamic content mechanism (ADP) and 
evaluate Tcl scripts or include ADP pages.

Source files affected:

jakarta-tomcat-connectors-src/jk/build.properties
jtc-src/jk/native2/build.xml
jtc-src/jk/native2/server (adds aolserver directory with C and Java sources)

Thank you,
Alexander Leykekh

Just send the patches and the new files. You can open an enhancement request
in bugzilla and attach them.

If you are willing to maintain the code and stick around for a while - 
you may want to send more patches, and you can become a committer.

That's the biggest issue - you'll be the decision maker for this code :-)
If it becomes clear that you are willing to fix the bugs and maintain
the code, and want to get more involved in the tomcat community - you'll
be proposed as committer ( and become an official decision maker :-).

Sounds good.

Not necessary, just send the updated sources in this list and use the
standard ASF licence header.

Only commiters have cvs write access.

Since you'll became our AOL specialist, you'll be the one to which
bug reports on JK2/AOL will be adressed ;)
