Google Application Engine whitelist info

[Christian Edward Gruber <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

      So I prodded a bit, looking for a "no sooner than" number for  
whitelisting javax.xml.stream.*, and I think I understand better  
what's going on.   The two pieces of info I have to share, however,  
are as follows.

       1)  that the team feels confident that they will "eventually"  
support javax.xml.stream.*, but that there's a lot of work to getting  
it audited and clean for the whitelist, and there are several higher- 
priority items to take care of.

       2) While they are NOT offering completion timelines, Toby  
Reyelts did give me an opinion about a minimum.  He doesn't believe  
they will get to this work before at least six weeks or so from now,  
and they haven't done a level of effort estimate on that work.

      Given this, and given that I don't know the LOE for adding T5.1  
template features to the T5.0 parser (or another one), nor the LOE for  
ripping out javax.xml.stream* and re-tooling the stax implementation  
with alternate classes, it's unclear to me what's faster (or more  
important).   My own personal opinion would be to double their floor  
to 12 weeks for this mental exercise and decide if it's worth waiting  
or switching out the parser.  Again - disclaimer - the appengine java  
team has NOT committed to any timeline for delivery on this, period.   
This is my sewing together opinions without commitment, and the  
AppEngine-Java guys were cool enough to let this opinion into the wild  
for the sake of the Tapestry contributors' decision making.  So no  
nasty quoting me 13 weeks from now if javax.xml.stream.* isn't  
whitelisted. ;)

cheers,
Christian.
