[wtp-pmc] Re: Request for JSP and JDBC support on the WTP Web server

[Arthur Ryman <ryman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PMC,

I'd like to discuss this request. We'd
like to establish a database and Web app for accessing performance measurements.
We need Eclipse Foundation to host JSP apps and Derby. The PMC needs to
approve this request and communicate it to the Eclipse Foundation.

Subject	Request for JSP and JDBC support on the WTP Web server

Hi Arthur,

I owe you a paragraph on setting up
a performance Webapp on the WTP Web server. Here it is:

One of the key objectives of the Eclipse
Web Tools Platform (WTP) project is to provide a generic Web and J2EE tools
platform for other vendors to extend. To stay competitive and to foster
the adoption of WTP, WTP must perform well. For example, runs fast and
use as little memory as possible, etc. To help ensure WTP has high performance,
we are setting up automated performance testing as part of the WTP build
process. This allows us to identity and fix performance problems early
on. We will be using the performance testing infrastructure provided by
Eclipse. This infrastructure uses a Derby database to maintain all the
performance data. These data must be easily accessible by WTP developers.
A possible approach is to setup a Web application on the WTP Web server,
which will serve as the user interface to access the performance data (these
performance data will be uploaded to the Web server as part of the build
process). To setup such application, we'll require the WTP Web server to
support more than just PHP. Therefore, we would like to make a request
to the Eclipse Web master to support JSP and JDBC on the WTP Web server.

Thanks,
