Re: [microprofile-wg] [Discussion] Context Propagation 1.3 Specification Release Review - VOTE by November 26th - (two weeks)
|
I'm sorry that I didn't record more detail about the decision to use a
point release versus a major release. This is something that I was unsure
of and had inquired about around the July/August timeframe from this past
summer, but all I have in my notes (from August 12) as the resolution is:
"We have been instructed to use a point release (1.3) because Jakarta EE
9.1 only impacts our TCK and documentation." But I don't recall who gave
us that decision and whether it was on a MicroProfile call or whether the
decision was relayed back to me second-hand. Regardless, it seems that it
must not have been as well socialized as it should have been given that it
is surprising people now.

Good callout. I think we've missed Plan Reviews in general:
- https://github.com/microprofile/microprofile-wg/labels/Plan%20Review
We definitely need to do those from now on.
2) All the other specifications are making major releases due to the
incompatible changes required by Jakarta 9.1. While the Context
Propagation API may not have a direct dependency on Jakarta EE APIs, it
seems the TCKs may. Is it confirmed this is a minor-release compatible
update? Should a user running on Jakarta EE 8, expect to be able to
upgrade their implementation to Context Propagation 1.3 successfully
without also upgrading their Jakarta EE dependency? Should a vendor
anticipate supporting both EE 8 and 9 with this release?
More good questions. I see that we did update the namespaces in the TCK.
I'd be hesitant to establish a rule where major changes in the TCK need to
result in a major version change. That said, we're not talking strictly
about changes in the TCK (say moving from Junit to TestNG) that do not
have an impact on the server itself. The change in the TCK does require a
change in the server and that creates some ambiguity in my mind.
Here are some potential resolutions that seem to make sense to me:
- Keep the minor version change and:
- be ok to accept CCRs from Jakarta EE 8 based impls that have used
bytecode tools to modify the CP 1.3 TCK itself back to the 'javax'
namespace OR
- issue our own javax version of the CP 1.3 TCK, which Jakarta EE 8
based impls can chose as an alternate to the jakarta namespace CP 1.3 TCK
- Update the major version
Any other options people see?
-David
