Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] [jakartaee-platform-dev] [jakartaee-spec-project-leads]Automatic Module Names in Jakarta EE 9

It seems fine to leave that out for now, we agreed that

Implicit automatic module names (no descriptor) are ok for this release, but where automatic-module-name or a full module-info was already declared, they should be in the correct namespace, e.g. "jakarta.servlet" instead of "java.servlet". Plus it’s an absolute no-go IMO to call it "jakarta.servlet" now and suddenly switch to "jakarta.servlet.api" in the next release.

 

If a component really had ".api" then it should stick to it while it’s part of the platform.

JSP only added this recently, there was no automatic-module-name in Java EE 8 and it seems not before 3.x yet either. Looks like Mark Thomas added it just 3 weeks ago, probably not coordinated with other specs like Servlet.

When using modules I agree, but I don't see that we are willing to spend the time to come up with the final name that will be needed when JPMS is actually supported.

Personally, I believe it does matter as you do not want to keep changing the module names especially if you are adding  the Automatic-Module-Name  Manifest Attribute.

For the 9.0 release, I guess it does not matter too much, but the discussion around the name is going to get more involved I suspect, and expand beyond the scope of just an artifact name based module name. For example, to simplify the end user's life, I can see having one or more aggregate modules using the spec base (jakarta.servlet) that define the various import/export/services relationships for a typical servlet app, JSP app, JSF app, etc. With that structure I would expect that we do want .api modules for every spec.

Thanks for the input!

We'll have to leave this thread open for a bit to see if we are opening a can of worms or not... ;-)

Mark, thanks for volunteering to minimally change "java.servlet" to "jakarta.servlet".  If we get additional volunteering along these lines, then we could contain this minimal update for Jakarta EE 9 (authentication, authorization, servlet, and transactions).

Let's see how this discussion plays out (and get input from the Spec Committee) as to what's containable for Jakarta EE 9, or 9.1, or 10.  Thanks!
