Fw: [wtp-dev] What's backup plan?

[Kathy Chan <kathy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've finished releasing a few changes
into the Web services code.  This should be picked up if there's a
respin of the I-build but would not warrant a rebuild itself (see Chris'
note below).  

Please note that the Next button
is enabled even on the last page of the Web Service and Web Service Client
wizard and you'll have to hit Finish to dismiss the wizard.

David, 
I20050415 is a suitable development target for Web services, but is not
a suitable target for functional testing of Web services.

We are releasing a few changes into Web services now that improve the functionality
to a point where, with a couple of workarounds, it is possible to get thru
the three Axis scenarios (top-down, bottom-up, client). The workarounds
are not horribly complex, but they are not trivial either, so even with
our latest changes I would still not consider a respun I-build as a good
base for beginning proper function testing of Web services. We will need
a couple more days and a few more fixes from ourselves and J2EE to get
to that point. 

So, to sum up: 
1. I do not think the changes we are releasing now warrant a respin, but
if a respin happens for other reasons, then our changes will get included.
2. I'm leaning in the same direction you are... continuous I-builds. Later
today I'm planning to refactor a number of package names in Web services,
and continuous I-builds will help me catch any refactoring gliches sooner
than next Tuesday morning (not there will be any glitches, of course!)

Cheers - CB.

Remember, by noon Friday, I'd like to hear from all component leads 
is this I-buld is suitable for continued M-week testing, or
No, need another I-build, or 
No, but let's call it an I-build (suitable for development target), then
immediately start trying to produce a better M-build candidate ... continuous
builds 
from Friday to Monday. Then test Tuesday Wed, Thursday?

I'm leaning towards this latter, but again, value all views.
