Re: [ecf-dev] Remote services and the Enterprise Early Draft

Hi Bryan,

Hi Scott,
What are your plans relative the the new specs around remote services in the Enterprise Early Draft?
The plan is to implement it for Helios. My understanding (from Jan) is
that should be straightforward to implement given our existing APIs and
implementation. I haven't yet had a chance to read the early draft
myself, however.
Who is going to implement the new discovery spec?
I don't know. I would prefer to have help from the community for
implementing it, but if that does not materialize I will implement it
personally. Markus and Jan would be the natural choices for the
discovery portion, but I don't know if they have the resources to commit
to that.
Will that live as part of ECF, or be part of Gemini?
Certainly it will be part of ECF...if it *also* ends up as part of
Gemini then that would be fine with me (ECF is an 'interested party' for
Gemini...and further interaction is possible and hopefully likely...but
I can't speak to how collaborative/open/diverse the Gemini project will
be).
There's no reason, however, for ECF to wait for Gemini. We have working
implementations, and our implementations are sufficiently general that
we can implement what's now coming out of the EEG both easily and
quickly. So we will implement them.
We will continue to implement the distributed OSGi/remote services part
of the EEG standardization effort, and will *not* address the *other*
rfcs coming out of the EEG. Better, I think, for ECF to stay focused on
implementing the parts of the standards (distributed OSGI/remote
services) and work as cooperatively as possible with the Gemini project
on the other pieces (e.g. web container, db, etc).
Depending on the timeframe and my personal schedule, I may be interested in working on this.
That would be great.
My plan is this...first, I'm currently working on finishing the
implementation/changes for OSGI 4.2 final spec...i.e. the change from
RFC119 to remote services (chap 13) of the spec. This is represented by
[1]. I expect to focus on and finish this in the coming week.
After that, I intend to move onto implementing the remote services admin
pieces...after reading the draft and commenting on things back to the
OSGi consortium (in cooperation with Jan, who is on the EEG). I have no
particular desire to do all of this myself, however, and would welcome
participation by you (Bryan), and/or others that would be able and
willing to help.
Thanks for offering your contribution (and inadvance!).
Scott
