River Status Update

As discussed, there's a blurb and the end of this email which I intend to
(somehow) get onto the River main web page as a bit of an update.  Does
anyone have any thoughts?  I've shamelessly enhanced (read: stolen) the
contents of Peter's status email from Tue, 11 May 2010 "Goals & Future
Roadmap".

The list of Jira issues at the end is ordered by "last edited" according to
the issue and was limited by my attention span looking through Jira.  Is
there anything on there that shouldn't be?  What big ones did I miss?

@Benson, is this this kind of thing you were talking about?

Cheers,

Tom



River is starting to gain some momentum and is seeing increasing activity on
it's developer mailing list. Lots of code and ideas are being thrown around
with some interesting discussions and some great code being produced. Add a
new Apache Mentor into the mix and the project is starting to look like it
could shape up for graduation soon...

Recent River event include:

* River 2.1.2 has been released
* New CodebaseAccessClassLoader and accociated changes submitted to svn
(Thanks to Gregg Wonderly)
* New StreamServiceRegistrar Interface and other additions proposed
and submitted to svn
* New ConcurrentDyamicPolicyProvider in svn
* New RevokeablePolicy in svn

New functionality and fixes in the pipeline include:

* New Groovy Configuration System (Thanks to Dennis Reedy)
* Fully functional ConcurrentDynamicPolicyProvider
* Fully functional RevokeablePolicy
* A StreamServiceRegistrar implementation

Future Roadmap:

* Integrate Jini Surrogate Architecture.
* Apache River - Java CDC support for dynamic code downloading and Jini
Services utilising a subset of Jini's API.
* Apache River 2.2.0 Release, Scheduled for December.
* Better "Getting starting" documentation for new River developers
* Better resources for users of River (Thanks to Tim Blackman for
Jini-in-a-Jar donation)

River is actively looking for people who can help with the following areas:

  * Revi1ew of patches waiting to be included into SVN, particularly
      - River-345: SDM LookupCache multi-LUS stale proxy/discard problems (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-345)
      - River-336: Jini should support platforms other than those with
RMIClassLoader as the classloading control point. IDEs inparticular need
help (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-336)
      - River-313: Provide mechanism to swap in alternatives to Java DSL for
service configuration (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-313)
    * New feature functionality, particularly
      - River-342: Jini in a Jar - some helpful utilities for newbie's (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-342)
      - River-337: Attempted discard of unknown registrar kills
LookupLocatorDiscovery thread (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-337)
      - River-332: Use of Depreciated Interface java.rmi.server.RemoteCall (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-332)
    * Updated documentation and tools for new River developers and
developers using River

Thanks Tom, no worries,

The Revocable Policy is experimental, so we probably shouldn't guarantee 
that it'll be included.  We still need to implement Security Delegates 
before it'll be effective.  This will require lots of testing and 
feedback before it makes a release.

We certainly could use some more feedback on the 
StreamServiceRegistrar's proposed interface before we start implementing 
it.  It's intended for delayed unmarshalling and handling very large 
lookup result sets.

Regards,

Peter.

Confluence edits should appear on their own -- after some period of
time. If they don't, well have to ask for more advice.

Could you tell me how we sync the website and confluence? I've changed 
some page once, and the website wasn't updated.

I'm very sorry to be a source of confusion here. I tripped over some
ancient static web site source for River, so I concluded that it was
not already in Confluence. It is already in Confluence, and all you
committers should have access to edit it.

This is about the River status page [1] that's maintained as a part of
the main Incubator site.

The River web site at [2] is maintained in our Confluence wiki at [3].
All River committers are given full edit access to the wiki. You just
need to register an account and ask for the required Confluence karma.

PS. The status update Tom started will provide excellent material for
the next River status report that's due in September [4].

Why not takedown the current site, and redirect to confluence?

We can easily prototype the pages there.

Niclas is correct. To my partial shock and horror (just kidding), the
entire incubator web site is One Big Thing, and you run a build on the

I just discovered that I myself am not in the necessary group to

I looked for a build script and didn't see it, but that's probably
because I'm an idiot.

Does it now? I have been out of the loop for long, as we have "always"
needed to both "build" the site-author with the build script in its
parent directory as well as "publish" it to /www.

It is also important to know that there can be substantial delays,
since website is mirrored somehow.

Two things to hit:

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/projects/river.xml

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/river/site/

It looks to me as if the former is magically self-transforming into
HTML, and the later you modify, commit, build, and stick into the
right place in /www on people.apache.org.
