Monitor Admin service

[Nick Wilson <ni...@card.co.uk>]

As part of the work I'm doing on some of our products I've created an
implementation of the Monitor Admin service from the Compendium Spec. I
couldn't find one on the Felix web site and was wondering if you'd be
interested in us donating this.

 

It's currently a full implementation of the spec. with the exception of
the security checks. It builds with Maven and has unit tests and
pax-exam based integration tests.

Great. We'll take a few days to look it over and then call a vote. Feel 
free to prod or ask questions along the way. Thanks!

Hi,

I've created a JIRA issue for the Monitor Admin Service submission:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2637

Good. That's a big plus.

The steps are probably something like:

   1. Verify that you really do have authorization.
   2. Look over our development documentation (and Apache's too) to make
      sure you want to be involved in how we do things.
   3. Assuming you still do, create a Felix JIRA issue for your
      contribution and attach an archive containing the source you wish
      to contribute along with an MD5 signature of the archive. You
      should add the standard Apache source header to each file,
      replacing any existing header you may have. It is not necessary to
      put it into org.apache.felix package space yet.
   4. We call a vote here to determine if the community wants to accept
      the contribution.
   5. If the vote passes, then you will need to submit a software grant
      form and an ICLA (and possibly a CCLA if your company deems it
      necessary).
   6. Once all of that paperwork is received, then we gather up all the
      info and submit an IP clearance report.
   7. After a few days if there are no red flags, then we commit the code.

Steps 5 and 6 are the more difficult and sometimes lengthy steps, but 
otherwise it is pretty straightforward...

Thanks!

Yes, it' something we'll be making use of here, so I'm keen to be
involved in its continued development.

Agreed, the checks do need adding in. I'll be looking into that.
I'll need to get authorisation to release the code, but that shouldn't
be an issue. Assuming that goes ok, what's the next step?

Sounds interesting. Do you plan on being involved in its continued 
evolution and maintenance too?

Ultimately, having security implemented too would be the goal, but it 
sounds like a good start.
