Preparing for a release

[Dain Sundstrom <da...@coredevelopers.net>]

It looks like we are close to a release, so why don't we come up with a 
list of what we want to wrap up before the release?  Here is what I'd 
like to see for this release.

Already Done (I think):
SLSB, SFSB and BMP
WAR support including deployer
Connector (inbound and outbound)
EJB Security
Transaction (no logging)

Must Have:
EJB Deployer
EAR Deployer
Ability to run binary offline (needs schema repository)
Documentation on how to configure and deploy a war, ejb-jar and ear

Nice To Have:
Finish inbound JCA to MDB
Documentation on how to write, configure and deploy a GBean


I'm sure I've missed some...

I don't want to rise the bar too high, but I think people expect to see 
some tutorials about running widely known applications on Geronimo. 
Thus, I'd vote for describing how to run PetStore on Geronimo as a 
nice-to-have item.

Speak to Jeremy; he has a parser put together.  I'm just browsing 
through his code at the moment...

There's a time when I thought of adding CMP 2.0 to OpenEJB. It started 
from playing with EJB-QL and its support and quickly disappeared from my 
list of things to do.

I'd be glad to find out what exactly are you doing in this area?

Sounds great ... I can help wherever needed; I'd be willing to take a 
stab at some documentation (GBeans I could probably do if you like) if 
nobody objects.

I have a pretty reasonable grasp of GBeans and if people are available 
for questions I can bang things out fairly quickly.

Are we still looking at the Ides for release?

[offtopic...]
For the record, even though they aren't slated for this release, I have 
the following on my plate which I'm slowly crawling along on; I figured 
people might like to keep track fo what's outstanding from everyone:
1) Helping dain finish up logging services [add support for more 
appenders, add support for java.logging.* and possibly other log 
packages]
2) Look over EJB-QL code
3) Identity Definer code for CMPs
4) EJBTimerService.
