[18:15]<GlenD> Hi all
[18:16]<Jaliya> Hi Glen
[18:16]<Srinath> hi Glen
[18:16]<Deepal> hi Glen
[18:17]<GlenD> Hey guys - sorry I've been incommunicado recently
[18:18]<Srinath> Dr Sanjiva said u been travelling 
[18:18]<GlenD> ayup
[18:18]<Srinath> hows life goes?
[18:18]<GlenD> back now, but leaving again tomorrow
[18:19]<GlenD> no travel plans after the 2nd of July though! :)
[18:19]<Srinath> :)
[18:19]<GlenD> So what's on the agenda for today?  Sanjiva wanted to talk schedule, it seemed...
[18:19]<Deepal> good topic to talk
[18:20]<Ajith> yep
[18:20]<GlenD> I haven't had a chance to look at M2 yet - how are you guys feeling about the code/architecture these days?
[18:20]<Ajith> well it seems mostly Ok to me
[18:20]<Srinath> mm .. :)
[18:20]<Deepal> no big architectural change
[18:20]<Srinath> we need do some work in the transport archi ..
[18:21]<GlenD> Srinath: senders, listeners, or both?
[18:21]<Srinath> but mostly I feel happy about what we have 
[18:21]<Srinath> overall look .. may be nothing chage
[18:21]<GlenD> cool! (always nice if nothing needs to change :))
[18:22]<Srinath> :D
[18:22]<GlenD> I'll load the latest up on my laptop before I head to San Francisco
[18:22]<GlenD> I'm giving a talk about Axis2 at JavaOne on Monday
[18:22]<Srinath> cool ..
[18:23]<GlenD> so there may be an influx of interested people after that :)
[18:23]<Deepal> oh really
[18:23]<Srinath> cool :)
[18:23]<GlenD> I'll send slides to the list
[18:23]  *** ruchith joined #apache-axis
[18:24]<Srinath> we are been discussing about a 0.9 realse soon
[18:24]<GlenD> do we have the lightweight data binding stuff yet?
[18:24]<dasarath> yes I've been working on it
[18:25]<dasarath> ;- )
[18:25]<GlenD> awesome
[18:26]<GlenD> are you using your own schema modeling classes, or did you borrow some from somewhere?
[18:26]<GlenD> (last time we looked there weren't any really suitable ones that we could find, but I keep hoping that's changed)
[18:26]<dasarath> nope at the moment I'm using the XmlBeans Schema model
[18:27]<dasarath> its to get things started actually
[18:27]<GlenD> cool - did you modify it to be able to go from Java->Schema?  IIRC it doesn't do that.
[18:27]<dasarath> ajith and my self are also looking at directly using XmlBeans in codegen stuff
[18:27]<dasarath> as well
[18:27]<dasarath> that part is almost done
[18:28]<GlenD> :)
[18:28]<dasarath> Java -> Schema : not yet
[18:28]<dasarath> ppl wanted priority for XMLBeans data binding over our own tool
[18:29]<Srinath> ppl are we I belive ;)
[18:30]<dasarath> I was being nice ;-)
[18:30]<GlenD> ok - my personal priority is that it should be as easy as possible to expose a basic Java class (incl some data classes) as a SOAP service...
[18:30]<GlenD> (right after world peace :))
[18:32]<Ajith> well we can do that now (but with a bit of trouble)
[18:32]<dasarath> ajith: fight for peace or Java2WSDL
[18:33]<Ajith> However I have incorporated the axis 1.2.1 java2wsdl tool to our code gen tool
[18:33]  *** dims joined #apache-axis
[18:33]<GlenD> Ajith: that's interesting/cool!
[18:33]<Ajith> so one can create the wsdl from the java file 
[18:33]<Ajith> and it is integrated to the service archive tool too
[18:34]<GlenD> but how does the data binding actually work though in that case?
[18:34]<GlenD> Do you have to regen new classes using XMLBeans from the resulting schema?
[18:34]<Ajith> so when some one creates the archive from the tool he can also specify the class that will autogen the wsdl
[18:34]<Ajith> well no DB yet
[18:37]<GlenD> ok
[18:38]  *** GlenD would like to see that before 1.0
[18:38]<GlenD> (and yes I'm even willing to work on it :))
[18:38]<Ajith> sure
[18:39]<Srinath> next realse will have data binding :)
[18:39]<Srinath> I think we are quite through the xmlbeans thingy
[18:40]<Ajith> yes XB seems to be going alright
[18:41]<GlenD> So how's the axis.jar size doing these days?
[18:41]<Deepal> 1.2 k
[18:41]<Srinath> oops 
[18:41]<Deepal> 1.2 MB
[18:42]<Ajith> hmmmm
[18:42]<Ajith> a bit more than we expected 
[18:42]<GlenD> hm
[18:42]<GlenD> indeedy
[18:42]<GlenD> that's almost as big as 1.2.1
[18:42]<GlenD> (1.5M)
[18:42]<Srinath> not the jar it is war I think
[18:42]<Deepal> sorry im talking abt axis2.war
[18:43]<Srinath> 1.2MB .. with all the other jars
[18:43]<GlenD> :) whew!
[18:43]<Deepal> axis.jar 505kb
[18:44]<Deepal> and it caontains addressing module too 
[18:44]<Srinath> Glen how do you run test casess SMTP transports in axis1.2?
[18:45]<Deepal> i mean addressing.mar
[18:45]<Srinath> I mean we need a mail server up to do the tests I think
[18:45]<dims> Srinath: so no support for rpc/enc in databinding?
[18:45]<GlenD> Srinath: Yes, I think you do.  I'm not sure I've ever actually run them, but I would guess there are config parameters to control host/port/email-address....
[18:46]<Srinath> hi dims :)
[18:46]<dims> hi
[18:46]<GlenD> hi dims!
[18:46]<GlenD> dims: My guess is not yet. :)
[18:46]<Srinath> dims:we have not done any work on soap-encoding yet 
[18:46]<Srinath> yes
[18:46]<dims> hi glen, all
[18:46]<GlenD> I'm happy to help out on that part.
[18:47]<Srinath> glen: I mean do we have a junit test cases tests the smtp transport
[18:47]<Srinath> ?
[18:47]<GlenD> Srinath: I don't think we do...
[18:47]<Srinath> glen:I think Q better directed at dims :)?
[18:47]<dims> in axis 1.x...no.
[18:48]<Srinath> yep .. I was even trying yo start james from code .. failed so far
[18:49]<dims> you need an smtp server to test?
[18:49]<Srinath> yes dims
[18:50]<Srinath> other option is make it a online test .. e.g. do it with a gmail account ect 
[18:50]<dims> http://www.ericdaugherty.com/java/mailserver/ seems interesting
[18:51]<Srinath> :) will try
[18:54]  *** Chamil_ joined #apache-axis
[18:54]<Srinath> all: shall we talk about possibility of 0.9 bit
[18:54]<Srinath> Axis2 0.9 .. 2.9 :)
[18:54]<Deepal> :D
[18:55]<Srinath> 2+ 0.9 
[18:57]<Deepal> glen I can try to do some SOAP encoding stuff
[18:57]<Deepal> since Depllyment stuff almost over
[18:58]<Chamil_> about the mail thing i got a mailserver working yesterday ... so shoud be able to use that for the junit test cases as well
[18:58]<Deepal> and Glen give a hand if u can
[18:58]<Deepal> :)
[18:58]<Srinath> Chamil .. cool
[18:58]<Chamil_> [sorry for the late reply got disconnected from the chat ]
[18:58]<Srinath> deepal:do we need to do the multirefs as well
[18:58]<Srinath> ?
[18:59]<Deepal> ok let see wt I can do
[19:01]<GlenD> Deepal: I'm up for it - will sync up with latest over the next week
[19:01]<GlenD> Srinath: Multirefs == yes
[19:01]<GlenD> We don't have to *emit* them by default
[19:01]<GlenD> But we have to understand them
[19:01]<Srinath> yes 
[19:01]<Deepal> yup
[19:02]<dims> Ruchith: Are u planning a port of wss4j to Axis2?
[19:02]<ruchith> well we have to get the DOM support completed for that
[19:02]<Deepal> Glen : first I have to get better understanding about SOAP enconding , since I am not so familer with that
[19:03]<GlenD> OK
[19:03]<GlenD> Lots of articles out there on that
[19:03]<dims> ruchith: starting coding will help fix dom support as and when bugs arise.
[19:03]<ruchith> and I noteced that we are using Dom-Level3 stuff for wss4j ... 
[19:03]<Deepal> yup first I will raed some of tham
[19:03]  *** Chamil quit FreeNode : Read error: 113 (No route to host)
[19:03]<dims> ruchith: no we are not
[19:04]<GlenD> I gotta run, guys (meeting)!  Re: 0.9 release - can someone write up a little chart of that list of requirements we did for 1.0, and how many of those things 0.9 would have?
[19:04]<dims> need to clean up that
[19:04]<Srinath> glen: will do and sent a mail 
[19:04]<GlenD> Once we had that comparison I think it should be easy to decide when to "0.9 it"
[19:04]<GlenD> awesome
[19:04]<GlenD> talk to y'all soon!
[19:04]<Srinath> :)
[19:05]  *** GlenD quit FreeNode : 
[19:05]  *** dasarath left #apache-axis : 
[19:05]<ruchith> dins: I found dom3-xercesImpl-2_6_2.jar  dom3-xml-apis-2_6_2.jar in wss4j/endorsed ... are they really not required?
[19:05]<dims> yep
[19:05]<ruchith> I thought we ned these for xml-sec stuff
[19:06]<dims> nope
[19:06]<dims> was part of opensaml. i thought we needed it. but we don't
[19:06]<ruchith> ok cool :)
[19:07]<dims> how is the mtom support coming along?
[19:08]<Deepal> we have integrate mtom into axis
[19:08]  *** Gayan quit FreeNode : Read error: 113 (No route to host)
[19:08]<dims> is there a sample/unit test? 
[19:09]<Deepal> and as I know there are smt to be done when serializing MTOM into the output
[19:09]<Jaliya> Yes, he said he will be able to finsh it soon
[19:09]<Deepal> dims : I am not quit sure abt that
[19:09]<dims> hehe...tiny detail?
[19:10]<dims> It ain't done till it shows up on thw wire (TM) :)
[19:10]<Srinath> will try to add a test cases ASAP :)
[19:11]<dims> ok. thanks.
[19:12]<Srinath> actually Thilina is finding one more prob .. all the time :)
[19:12]<dims> is there a test/sample for databinding?
[19:12]<Srinath> on  the way .. 
[19:12]<Ajith> actually DB is on the way :)
[19:13]<Srinath> not to look bad there is one for REST :)
[19:13]<Srinath> and TCP
[19:14]<Srinath> dims: we got to go it seems .. will let know when the test cases are up
