[Axis2] Google Summer Student Project with Axis2
Hi,
I'm interested in doing a student project with Axis2 for Google's
Summer of Code program, an initiative aimed at introducing students to
Open Source Software Development
(http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html). I've wanted to become
involved with an open source project for a while now, and think that
this would be an excellent chance to contribute to Apache.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in working with me in an
advisor role, or if you have ideas for possible summer projects. I
found a list of tasks on the Wiki (FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks), and am
interested in several of them, but don't know if they're already being
tackled by someone.
More about me: I'm a rising senior at Carnegie Mellon University,
majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I've done previous
work with web applications and web services, and consider myself a
flexible programmer. Of recent note, two friends and I took second
place in the national (US) finals of Microsoft's ImagineCup Software
Design Competition two weeks ago. My part of the project included
implementing .NET web services with a Pocket PC.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Mark

Hi Mark;
#apache-axis is the right place .. I will remeber to hang around the
chat bit more ..
I am usually around 8am-7pm SL time I think that is 9pm - 6 am your
time I think
Axis2 work on a Stax parser to read and write XML,
(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader and
javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter). If you can write a implementation
of these two
(that is actually writing a Stax implemntation) on a XML binary
serialization.. by switching to the Stax impl to your Implementation
Axis2 would do Binary.
Actually u need not to look much in to Axis2 .. have a look at the
Stax API and possibility of writing a XML binary serialization based
impl for Stax.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
The project seems interesting, and I think I'll go ahead with writing
an application for it and looking at the existing Axis2 code. It does
seem straight forward, although studying and supporting the different
standards could take some time.
Also, I've visited #apache-axis on freenode a few times, but it's
usually empty or quiet. Is it because many developers are on Sri
Lankan time? In that case, when would be a good time to stop by and
say hi? Am I even going to the right place?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Yes it's very straight forward to implement as Sanjiva mentioned. We can
provide you some help in that. And as u also might know, there is no *ONE*
standard on binary stuff up to now. So we prefer to support multiple of
them.
During the last Axis2 summit, Geoffrey Fox was talking about DFDL and they
have done lot of work on that. So that would be a good starting point for
you.

No .. we need to support multiple of them :). These binary
serializations have diff perf characteristics for different payloads.
In our case that amounts to writing a StAX parser and serializer for the
format. Quite straightforward really ;-).

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your help so far. Binary serialization seems
interesting. I'll read up on the topic further, but I think it'd be a
good project.
One question: there are a few different standards for this... Are we
leaning towards one over the others, or would we select the one with
the best performance, interoperability, etc?

Hi all,
I was also looking in to this BinarySerialization as a proposal for this
google projects. Since somebody has come up with it now I'm thinking of
doing HTTP chunking for Axis2, which will improve the efficiency of message
delivary. What do u all think about it.

Nice idea. This is a hot area as the W3C are putting some effort into
binary XML right now. In addition to the links listed, I suggest you
look at Dennis Sosnoski's XBIS (http://xbis.sourceforge.net/) and the
cbXML proposal from IBM.
(http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/presentations-ibm-cbxml.pdf
and http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/19-IBM-IBMPositionPaperBinaryXMLWorkshop-updated.html
In fact you can find a lot of data here
http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/Report.html#papers
Another reason this could be very important:
My belief is that binary XML infoset only shows its real benefit with
a typed pull parser. The reason: suppose you have a binary encoding of
an integer, and then you use a string-based parser, you will end up
decoding the binary into an int, converting to a string for the parser
API and then back to an int in the deserialisation code.
So we won't really know how fast binary XML is until we try it on a
platform like Axis2.

Hi Mark;
I feel http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks/BinarySerialization
is quite a good bet. Nobody works on it right now. Mat be it a good
summer project proposal
1) It is quite isolated .. so less trouble
2) it is important for Axis2
If you have any trouble in the work we will do our best to help.
Thanks
