[VOTE] Inclusion of SAP R/3 components

Team.

The long pending SAP R/3 patches [1] by Michael Gerzabek and Reinhard
Poetz now carry the standard ASF licence plate, mock classes exist, I
have reviewed the code and am happy with it. All issues have been
solved by Michael and it was great working with him on it. I have not
tested the components since I don't have a SAP installation to test
against. Still, I'm confident in this patch.

This has already been discussed [2] and [3]. Especially the long term
perspective really _is_ an issue. However, I believe that these
components will attract users and hopefully, the components can be
maintained that way.

Before actually adding the code to the 2.1 repository, I'd like to
have a final voting on it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please cast your votes: Shall we accept the SAP
R/3 connectivity components from patch [1] ?

Here's my +1

	Chris.

Michael has created Mock objects that are used instead. So no, no SAP
jars are needed at compile time, only at run time.

Cocoon-apps has been created in overlap with cocoon-dev, and to get 
stuff from Andy, CocoBlog and Wyona. Andy didn't finish it, CocoBlog is 
lingering between that and Cocoondev and Wyona... well, it will probably 
be a project itself.

So cocoon-apps is empty now and I don't see it become less-empty soon. 
Overmore there is cocoondev which is already active.

Yes, it would be nice not to need to keep all blocks in the Cocoon CVS 
repo, but move them *again*? And which? When we'll move to Subversion, 
dir moves will be possible, and then we'll be able to make these 
decisions without technological problems.

If it's not in the core it's a block, even if only one class.

I will give that classification a go in the Wiki.

Agreed. Only that this is not an application but a connectivity
component IMO. If it were, I'd be convinced already ;-)

Sorry, this was not intended. I only wanted to say that we are arguing
over only a few classes but you are right, very specific classes,
indeed.

> But they clearly don't belong to the core. So what ?

The original suggestion is to make it a block. 

So your suggestion is to move highly specific blocks from the core cvs
module to the apps cvs module? I fear that it will be very difficult
to decide which blocks are special enough to be moved. Can't we stick
with blocks for the moment?

I tend to agree with Sylvain (+1 on addition to CVS, -0 or so on 
addition to main Cocoon CVS).

I think it's not a problem and, given enough interested people, it can 
always grow to at least size of demo app, if not full-featured app.

What I said is that code becomes zombie if it's not included in the 
distro of the source base that _contains_ the code.

Visibility is another problem, and this is chicken and egg : cocoon-apps 
will be visible if it contains substantial material, and substantial 
material will come in only if cocoon-apps is visible... (same applies to 
cocoondev.org)

Also, we have to consider the size of these components : the Cocoon core 
provides so highlevel and powerful abstractions that adding a 
substantial amount of functionnality in a very specific area requires 
only a few classes. Do 10 classes require a separate project/module ? 
But they clearly don't belong to the core. So what ?

I'm puzzled... (hence the -0.5)

The SAP R/3 connectivity consists of 4 interfaces, 5 implementing
classes and a transformer:

java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/Web3.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/Web3Client.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/Web3DataSource.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/Web3Streamer.java

java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/impl/DefaultWeb3StreamerImpl.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/impl/Web3ClientImpl.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/impl/Web3DataSourceImpl.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/impl/Web3DataSourceSelectorImpl.java
java/org/apache/cocoon/components/web3/impl/Web3Properties.java

java/org/apache/cocoon/transformation/Web3RfcTransformer.java

It is not an application per se but a connectivity
component. Everything is already nicely organized to fit into a
block. 

For me, the apps module appeared to be more a repository for stuff
like wyona e.g. complete apps.

> Please also correlate these thoughts with the "zombie code" discussion.

Sylvain, wasn't it you that said if the component were present by
default, it would have generated patches from the user base? Wouldn't
that suggest to have it in a highly visible place like core cvs
module and hence the main distro?

I think including this connectivity to cocoon will be really like the 
troyan horse!

...but it will help me to establish my cocoon app in my company.

...facing the challenge to introduce MySAP CRM within our company we 
found out that consultants NOT always tell you the trues about 
connectivity of SAP.

If I now have a way to actually get my data from SAP, I have a BIG 
problem less.

I am not a dev, but I would give it

I share Steven's feelings (I'm one of the "offlist") : we voted a 
cocoon-apps module to host Cocoon-related developments that don't belong 
to the core. And this ultra-specific component typically falls in this 
category.

I don't discuss its quality nor its usefullness (SAP is used in large 
companies and this could be a "troyan horse" to bring Cocoon inside), 
but adding it to the main CVS repository, even in a block, would 
increase the bloat.

So +1 for this patch, but -0.5 for the main CVS repo (not a "-1" because 
I don't want to stop its publication).

Please also correlate these thoughts with the "zombie code" discussion.

- do they need some SAP-jars in the classpath upon compilation time?
- if that is the case, do those need to be stored in ASF CVS?
- if that is the case, is that allowed according to their license?
- if all that is the case and the license only allows binary 
distribution, we can implement mock classes

If all these are incorrect assumptions, pardon my ignorance.

FYI, Sylvain just asked whether mail/activation/jta.jar (Sun) could be 
included in CVS. Apparently, there is something in their license which 
doesn't allow this.

If license issues do not allow these components to be added to ASF CVS, 
we could look and see whether they could be hosted at cocoondev.org 
(since yes, they would be a valuable addition to Cocoon).

Other worry: this means adding yet another mega-functional-component to 
Cocoon, and I have have been talking offlist about my worries in this 
direction.

We better start using the -apps module then, I guess (and some other 
components might as well migrate there, too).

I would like to see what others think before voting.

Is there any chance of setting up a public demo of this somewhere (i.e.
Cocoon accessing SAP)? That would be a really great showcase.

Subject: [VOTE] Inclusion of SAP R/3 components


Team.

The long pending SAP R/3 patches [1] by Michael Gerzabek and Reinhard
Poetz now carry the standard ASF licence plate, mock classes exist, I
have reviewed the code and am happy with it. All issues have been
solved by Michael and it was great working with him on it. I have not
tested the components since I don't have a SAP installation to test
against. Still, I'm confident in this patch.

This has already been discussed [2] and [3]. Especially the long term
perspective really _is_ an issue. However, I believe that these
components will attract users and hopefully, the components can be
maintained that way.

Before actually adding the code to the 2.1 repository, I'd like to
have a final voting on it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please cast your votes: Shall we accept the SAP
R/3 connectivity components from patch [1] ?

Here's my +1

	Chris.

AW: [VOTE] Inclusion of SAP R/3 components

Posted by Michael Gerzabek <mi...@gmx.net>.
Hi all,

concerning long term perspective: we enjoy Cocoon since release 1.8 and
have at least 2 productive projects running with Cocoon 2.0 and the SAP
part. And we will go on!

So if testing is needed with real SAP we surely can do this. And I'm
also sure that we won't be the only one to use these components in the
future ;)

Michael
