DNA SPI changes
by Randall Hauch
I've merged the latest state of the 'federation' branch back onto
trunk. This consists almost entirely of additions, with most of them
pertaining to working with properties and property values.
The main reason for this was that we've gotten some feedback from
people working on new sequencers, and the SPI being developed on the
federation branch had enough benefits to warrant using them in the
sequencing framework. For example, one requested change (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/DNA-77
) is to add more methods so StreamSequencer implementations can record
properties using paths and the actual data types (without having to
convert to Strings). There are also a few bugs with the
'org.jboss.dna.common.jcr.Path' class used by several of the existing
sequencers, which has been removed and replaced with an interface and
implementation in the new SPI.
Needless to say, there will be in the near future some good
improvements coming to the SequencerOutput interface, and the existing
sequencers will be changed to take advantage of these.

java-source artifact CND
by Serge Emmanuel Pagop
Hi Randall,
sorry for the long weeks without my response of your last post. That
was because of stress in my current project.
But this weekend I have taken a little time for the refactory of the
java-source-artifact CND and also taken a look at the Eclipse JDT
library to see how we can smoothly and sequently get informations from
a java source file and I'm also thereby to see how to use the Abstract
Syntax Tree (AST) framework to parse the java source. What do you
thing about AST as a parser?
Here is the refactory CND schema and lets me know if something have to
be enhanced or if we miss some important elements for the first Java
sequencer release . Next week I will start with the implementation of
the Java Sequencer.

unwanted difference in .classpath and eclipse reletad files
by Stefano Maestri
Hi Randall,
I investigated a bit more about the unwanted difference I get in my last
patches.
As we suspect they don't depend on Maven version, neither Eclipse m2
plugin version. The problem is on configuration of the plugin, or better
two settings during importing maven project in eclipse. I attached a pdf
with the screenshot of importing modal panel, boxing the 2 settings that
drive to the problem. The settings captured in this screenshot are the
right ones, that isn't defaults (at least on my environment).
Maybe it would be useful to include this advice in a contributor's
readme on svn, eventually with some other suggestions or policies for
the project. Isn't it?

New federation branch created
by Randall Hauch
I've created a new 'federation' branch where the development of the
federation engine, connector framework, caching system, and unified
graph will be done. If you have time, please check out the SPI for
the connector and the graph API. (This is still incomplete, but
hopefully you see where it's going.)
The RepositoryConnector interface has a single "execute" method that
takes a RepositoryCommand, and there are several types of commands.
This makes it easy for us to add new functionality without breaking
the API, and if we do it correctly, connectors can ignore commands
they don't know about. There are three existing commands
(GetPropertiesCommand, GetChildrenCommand, and GetNodeCommand, which
extends the first two), while others might include: SearchCommand,
CreateNodeCommand, DeleteNodeCommand, etc. To make things easier for
connector implementors, we'll probably want to have a visitor
framework that makes it easy to implement behavior for different types
of commands (and inherit no-op methods for behavior that a connector
doesn't care about).
The graph SPI currently has definitions for qualified names, paths,
property types, property values, and factories for some of these.
We'll eventually add nodes, graphs, and some notion of versioning.
The idea is that this SPI provides the different services with a basic
graph language with versioning support. One implementation of these
interfaces will sit on top of the cached and integrated/federated
graph, and will be used by the sequencing system, analyzer service,
reporting service, and view service. This implementation will also be
used by our implementation of the JCR API and (potentially) an
implementation of the UDDI API.
Caching should be for the most part transparent to the users of the
SPI, but we'll start with using JBoss Cache. Ideally, I'd like other
caching systems to be pluggable (as people seem to have almost a
religious preference for one caching library over the others).
As for connectors, for 0.2 we're currently planning a file system
connector that exposes the contents of a directory as nt:file and
nt:folder nodes (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-34), a
connector to another JCR repository (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-39
), and a connector to SVN or other SCM systems (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-36
).
Please log comments or suggestions for the connector API on http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-68
and the generic graph API on http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-67.
Regards,
Randall
