[continuum] EJB 3.1 is out: brainstorming session

[Jean-Louis MONTEIRO <je...@atosorigin.com>]

Hi,

David wrote some posts a week ago related to the new EJB 3.1 specification.

I'd like to know if there is a plan to go to EJB 3.1?
I mean, do we have a clear view of the gap between our implementation and
where we need/want to go?
I know that we already have a set of features implemented (at least
partially).

I guess if we'll need to release a major version if we add EJB 3.1 features.

What about all open issues?
IMHO, it would be nice to have a look to our JIRA and close not relevant
issues. Some of them has been fixed, some other have some patch file to
check and validate, etc ...
I gonna try to get some easy to fix issues and try to close them.
Some others are probably too hard for me;-)
That done, may be we should release the 3.1.3?

Finally, Jacek did some tests and went ahead with OSGI.
I spent a couple of time pulling some hair out. After some small tests with
Karaf, i believe we can make it work in an OSGI environment.
But, i spoke some month ago with Guillaume NODET and another guy from
servicemix and if we want to make OpenEJB OSGI ready, it seems we will need
to refactor some pieces of code. Anyway, i'm convince Jacek have a far
better overview.

I just wanted to point it out in order to check if we can manage OSGI with
EJB 3.1 tasks.

It's definitely another topic we can discussed by the end of January with a
beer (and may be more ...) ;-)

Men, Happy New Year!!!
I wish you (and your family) all the best.

Kind regards,
Jean-Louis

Jacek,

Good thinking!
Let's start with EJB 3.1.

I'd like to help as much as possible.
For me, a good starting point could be to read deeper the new spec.

Good you've rised it up as with the new year some of us are about to
make  (or have already done) a couple of wishes and have one for
OpenEJB would be beneficial for the project. I did and will surely
spend more time on the project to bring it closer to EJB
3.1-compliancy with (or without) OSGi. OSGi is a very useful
technology, but our main priority should be to implement the most
fancy stuff of EJB3.1 (if not all) first and do OSGi afterwards.
Having them both will make my wish come true, but don't rise the bar
too high. I'd love seeing more contributors from the community working
with us on those specs too.

On the related note, I don't mind pushing 3.1.3 out with the features
already available in the trunk. They're enough for the release. You
fancy putting the hat of a release manager for 3.1.3 on?

Jacek

That jump was more or less between 3.0 and 3.1.  At least our 3.1.x  
releases have all had dependencies on new EJB 3.1 APIs.

Not sure.  I know there are some user issues I'd like to resolve (bug  
fixes).  Would also like to get a chance to more closely pick through  
Luis's changes (improvement).  And if I somehow manage to have time  
after than, I really want to hammer on the JUnit TestRunner stuff that  
Quintin hacked on (new feature).  I'm sure some of that will have to  
wait though.

Where are we with the JAX-RS stuff again?

Any idea what those parts are?

@Jean-Louis:

A gentle reminder - You should not be pulling hairs out... men have
issues with alopecia sooner or later anyway ;)

@All:

Hope you and your family are well and the upcoming year 2010 looks
bright to you :)

All the best!

Daniel
