Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

We're discussing two completely different concepts here.

One is an api for writing new components.   For component developers.

One is a library of common renderkit-independent components for use in
JSF applications.  For application developers.

Attempting to combine them is going to shortchange one side or the other.

Either the library is going to end up with dependencies on
renderkit-specific stuff, or the api is going to be severely limited
in what it provides.

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Manfred Geiler <ma...@gmail.com>.
The point is:
For myfaces-jsfcommons-components we must provide additional stuff in the
jar. You know: taglib, faces-config.xml, ...

This is what we do NOT want in the myfaces-jsfcommons-utils jars to
 - keep it simple, and
 - avoid unwanted side-effects

Please mind: Not yet sure, but the myfaces-jsfcommons-utils might propably
become a jar that myfaces-core-impl depends on in the future. So, we should
really keep all real components out of it. Which on the same time does not
forbid convenient Renderer utils in myfaces-jsfcommons-utils of course.

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Volker Weber <v....@inexso.de>.
Hi,

i don't understand what should go into the utils and what into the
components parts.

I think we can mix static utils with renderkid independent components
in one library.

for renderkid dependend compeonents we have already tomahawk, tobago
and trinidad.

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Mike Kienenberger <mk...@gmail.com>.
Well, I think there's probably enough difference between the two goals
that we do need to separate projects, even though it contributes to
the "Yet Another MyFaces Subproject" quagmire.   At least it's a step
in the right direction since we're looking at merging common code
rather than futher separation.

Let's leave the components -> api dependency out until such time that
it's explicitly needed.

Hi,

see inline

loading/register converters, validators, components, ... has no
inluence to the application as long they are not used. Other things
like ViewHandler, ... should not included in the faces-config as mario
wrote.

We have already shared for this. When introducing the shared code
there was a discussion about/against putting this into a own jar with
dependency in impl. The result was against, because is should be
possible to replace the two RI jars by just two myfaces jars.
I don't like the repackaging of shared into impl and tomahawk, but i
don't think this commons-utils should be a renamed shared?

Converters and Validators should go into the commons, as long there is
nothing of the faces-config which makes influence to a running app
just py putting this jar into classpath.

I'm not scared about multiple jsf-commons artifacts, i'ts perfectly ok
for me to have a jsfcommons-validators, jsfcommons-converters,
jsfcommons-components (if someone could describe what is going in
here), and so on.

I didn't know before that jsfcommons-utils was proposed as
jsf-developer utils and i don't know why we need this as replacement
for shared.
Imho the myfaces-jsf-commons should contain classes and tools for
application developers.
I have no problem in making shared a own artifact, but i don't like
the name commons-util for that.
I also don't like having validators, converters and maybe other non
components in a *-components artifact.

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Manfred Geiler <ma...@gmail.com>.
yes, fine!
please consider the following structure:

myfaces-jsfcommons
   |---- myfaces-jsfcommons-api
   |---- myfaces-jsfcommons-impl
   |---- myfaces-jsfcommons-sandbox

(we must avoid the name "myfaces-commons" for there was once a project
with that name - see maven repo!)

api = the classes and interfaces, that users will directly use (ie.
import) in their code (= compile scope dependency)
impl = internal implementation classes, users will need during runtime
only (= runtime scope dependency)

furthermore:
 - api classes and interfaces must not change between two bugfix
releases (eg. from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1)
 - api classes and interfaces might vary (be extended) between two
minor releases (eg. from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0) - BUT only backwards
compatible!
 - api classes and interfaces might be totally different between two
major releases (eg. from 1.5.3 to 2.0.0) - BUT need not  ;-)
 - impl classes (and interfaces) can be changed, added, removed,
refactored whenever needed

This is no unnecessary effort IMHO. jsfcommons can only be successful
and widely accepted if users can confide in a stable API that is not
subject to change on every single release. In a community driven
project this is only possible with some rules. And systematically
separating API from Impl classes in different JARs make these rules
very simple and intuitive.

Yes, I hope I can spend some time at the end of the week.

I will setup the initial maven dirs and stuff. I will also add the
sandbox we spoke about.
So, hopefully, next week we will have some space that wants to get
filled with cool Java lines...

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

A taglib and a faces-config in the META-INF are loaded/registered
automatically.
And as I already mentioned, it should be possible to use the commons utils
from the core impl. Automatically loading extensions(!) is not what we want
when using the myfaces core implementation.
There is some stuff in shared that makes sense to be moved to commons utils.
So this is not only theoretical.

And don't forget about all those (renderkit-independent!) converters and
validators. People might argue for putting them into a jsfcommons components
artifact. What about the Joda converter that Matthias suggested? What is the
reason it should go into Trinidad? It is not renderkit-specific or somehow
related to Trinidad. So, a perfect candidate for jsfcommons-components,
right?
(There would even be place for a separate jsfcommons-converters artifacts,
IMHO)

BTW, I do not understand why some of you are so scared by multiple
jsfcommons artifacts.
The Apache Commons Proper consists of 35 different "Components" and nobody
cares. Quite the contrary, everybody is glad there is not only one bloated
commons.jar when he/she needs just commons-logging or some of the DbUtils,
right?

Also renderkit independent "components" need a taglib in the META-INF dir.
This is the main difference between a "component" and a goodie class a user

I still don't get why we should increase the number of modules here.
Two artifacts means two jars, no?

And then, what is a Component? I think we agreed that we just want to
add render-less components, no? Else it has to go into tomahawk. The
Commons should not be just a "component-library without (the dreaded)
shared".

Is a UrlNavigationHandler a Component then or a util? It has no
component yet, but what if it has one in the future?
I know, we then can simply just add this component to the Components,
but why should we split the stuff?

In this case I'd have a org.apache.myfaces.commons.urlNavigationHandler
package where everything lives in.

org.apache.myfaces.commons.urlNavigationHandler (the api)
org.apache.myfaces.commons.urlNavigationHandler.impl
org.apache.myfaces.commons.urlNavigationHandler.component
etc

Ciao,
Mario

We do not necessarily need separate release cycles. At least at the
beginning.
They would have a common parent pom of course.
So, once set up, there is not really additional effort during development or
releasing.

I suggest that I prepare an initial setup, and check it in, so that there is
some concrete stuff we can talk about.
Ok?

I think this makes stuff again too complicated to be maintained in the
future.
You have two additional projects/modules, with maybe separate release
cycles - and even if not, you have to release them both at the same time.
Documentation and site is splitted, pom work is required to do twice, etc

My preference is to stick with just one MyFaces JSF Commons project -
<artifactId>myfaces-jsfcommons</artifactId>

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Manfred Geiler <ma...@gmail.com>.
Since there where some discussions about what should be in this new project
and what not:
Renderkit independent components yes/no? Only static utils, convenient base
classes?

I have a suggestion that would solve this (and the naming as well):

Let's start a new MLP* called "MyFaces JSF Commons"
which is itself an "umbrella" project for two artifacts** called
"MyFaces JSF Commons Utils" and "MyFaces JSF Commons Components"

For the artifact names I propose:
"myfaces-jsfcommons-utils" and "myfaces-jsfcommons-components"

The myfaces-jsfcommons-components artifact would have a compile dependency
to myfaces-jsfcommons-utils.

WDYT?

* Myfaces Level Project ;-)
** We should not use the Apache Commons terminology and call those artifacts
or sub projects "Components" for obvious reasons  ;-)

True!

...and also the name "common" is very common... :-)
And therefore not reserved for Apache Commons ...

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Volker Weber <v....@inexso.de>.
It is  a apache commons like project, just not located in commons.apache.org.
If it is named myfaces-jsf-commons it should clear enough this is a
myfaces project.

And imho it should contain tools, components, ... for jsf users like
apache-commons-beanutils contains java-collection stuff for java
users.

Grins, I so do not want to start a 'poco sensitive' discussion. But I agree

Yep, KIFS - Keep It Flat and Simple.

For the same reason we should not put the Facelets project under 
tomahawk - even though it may have tomahawk in its name. With the 
projects names Manfred proposed this is easily possible.

Yeah, and I don't know what's going to happen with the RCF project, 
guess it's up to the community to decide, but I don't see why it needs 
to be a subproject of Trinidad so much as a subproject of MyFaces with a 
dependency on Trinidad.  :)  Most all of it's dependencies are on API 
packages in Trinidad and I imagine that any impl dependencies would have 
to be resolved anyway.

I have no plans to ever move TLP with anything I do here in MyFaces 
land, I feel very comfortable under the MyFaces umbrella and I also do 
not understand (yet) why we should leave.
MyFaces = JSF@Apache - IMHO that should be the direction. Maybe we have 
to split the ML later on, but that is another story.

Re: [result][vote] start up the MyFaces Commons project

Posted by Simon Lessard <si...@gmail.com>.
Hmm I don't know. I think we cannot really use MyFaces Commons for 2
reasons:

1. When I hear Commons I can only think of Jakarta;
2. Following some old discussion, we don't know if extra components libaries
are going to stay as MyFaces subprojects forever. For instance, when RCF get
out of incubation, it might be strange to have a subsubproject of MyFaces
since RCF is a subproject of Trinidad. If we can get a nice modular
infrastructure including only renderkit independent at first, but then
adding some optional module for PPR, skinning and such, then we could move
to a TLP and have Tomahawk, Tobago, Trinidad and RCF be simple subprojects
all depending only on that new common library. Hopefully, it would also
ensure perfect interoperability between all of them at the same time.

Hi!

I am not sure why we can't call it simply "MyFaces Commons"? I think the
name is pretty fine.

But to put something additional into the fire: MyFaces Essentials, or,
to move on with islands, MyFaces Papeete

Ciao,
Mario

Unless the code is really bad, is it really derogatory at all? Apache
is a native American name, so projects using that theme go well. I'm
not aware of the other discussions, but I did come from a school that
had to change its name because of non-native Americans complaining
about native American rights and know the gist.

Why would Native Americans be offended by their own tribe and location
names? If anything it keeps people thinking of their people group and
their culture which should be viewed as a good thing, I would hope.

Oh no! Not that discussion again...  :-(

Ron, you might not be aware of former discussions on this list - not
your fault of course.

Yes, there are many ASF projects which have names related to Native
Americans, BUT there are also many people concerned that those names
could be offensive to Native Americans.

And MyFaces is - of course - not the only ASF project where such
discussions took place: see [1] to get an idea about such discussions
in the Geronimo community.
BTW, did you know they once had "Tomahawk" in their list of suggest
alternatives?  ;-)

Don't get me wrong, my personal opinion is
+/-0 for names related to Native Americans

Just wanted to sensitize.

I don't think there's any hard rule that all projects have to be
prefixed with MyFaces.
But then, I also don't have any problem with it being associated with
Tomahawk or MyFaces (in the name).

Hmmm ... I think the "MyFaces JSF Basics" is the only option then. As
far as I know the token "MyFaces" needs to be in there as it is a
project of the "MyFaces" project.

Personally I think the token "tomahawk" suggest that the Basic module is
meant as something related to tomahawk only then.

Also we should clearly state in the future that the term MyFaces does
not not necessarily mean a module works only with the MyFaces JSF
implementation nor with tomahawk only. But I think this is something we
already do as good as we can, e.g. with Apache MyFaces Trinidad, Apache
MyFaces Orchestra.
Btw, Tobago is an exception here, they call their project just Tobago
instead of "Apache MyFaces Tobago" as it should be ... I think.

Ciao,
Mario

Just a note that all votes are binding, except when we're voting on
something specifically delegated to PMC members, those being releases,
committers, and pmc members.

I agree that MyFaces Basics is too MyFaces-Core-esque.    Tomahawk
Basics or JSF Basics would be better choices.
