svn commit: rev 47634 - incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/core/src/java/org/apache/eve

Author: akarasulu
Date: Thu Sep 30 23:20:15 2004
New Revision: 47634

Added:
   incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/core/src/java/org/apache/eve/PartitionNexus.java
      - copied, changed from rev 47436, incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/sandbox/backend-nexus-api/src/java/org/apache/ldap/server/nexus/BackendNexus.java
   incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/core/src/java/org/apache/eve/PartitionNexusImpl.java
      - copied, changed from rev 47436, incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/sandbox/backend-nexus-impl/src/java/org/apache/ldap/server/nexus/impl/NexusModule.java
Modified:
   incubator/directory/eve/trunk/backend/core/src/java/org/apache/eve/BackingStore.java
Log:
Commit changes ...

 o copied and renamed BackendNexus from sandbox to PartitionNexus
 o copied and renamed NexusModule from sandbox to PartitionNexusImpl
 o cleaned up code formating and style 
 o corrected packages and changed names classes to reflect the new names

Notes ...

 o it might be worth while changing the name of PartitionNexusImpl to either
   of the following:
   - BasePartitionNexus
   - PartitionNexusSingleton
   - DefaultPartitionNexus
 o we also should add the ASL 2 boilerplate and add javadoc tags

- *      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
- *      the conditions stated in this License.
- *
- *   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
- *      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work

- *      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
- *      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
- *      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
- *      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
- *      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
- *      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
- *      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
- *      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
- *      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
- *      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- *
- *   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

- *
- *      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object

- *      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
- *
- *   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

- *      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
- *      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
- *      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
- *      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
- *      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
- *      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
- *      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
- *      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
- *      as of the date such litigation is filed.
- *
- *   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
- *      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
- *      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
- *      meet the following conditions:

- *          stating that You changed the files; and
- *
- *      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
- *          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
- *          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
- *          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
- *          the Derivative Works; and
- *
- *      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
- *          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
- *          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
- *          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
- *          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
- *          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
- *          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
- *          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
- *          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
- *          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
- *          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
- *          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
- *          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
- *          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
- *          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
- *          as modifying the License.
- *
- *      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
- *      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
- *      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
- *      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
- *      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
- *      the conditions stated in this License.
- *
- *   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
- *      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
- *      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
- *      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
- *      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
- *      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
- *      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
- *
- *   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
- *      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
- *      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
- *      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
- *
- *   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
- *      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
- *      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
- *      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
- *      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
- *      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
- *      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
- *      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
- *      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
- *
- *   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
- *      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
- *      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
- *      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
- *      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
- *      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
- *      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
- *      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
- *      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
- *      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
- *      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- *
- *   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
- *      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
- *      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
- *      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
- *      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
- *      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
- *      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
- *      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
- *      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
- *      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
