[gatein-dev] GateIn objects

I have created the XML schema for GateIn objects that are deployed from the configuration the initial time a portal is started. The target namespace is http://www.gatein.org/xml/ns/gatein_objects_1_0.xsd and it should not evolve as "1.0" release which means that it describe what we support from the project perspective for the life time of GateIn 3.x. Later we may need to update the model and if we do so, it should be in a compatible manner between revisions. As for the http://www.gatein.org/xml/ns/gatein_resources_1_0.xsd , we have deliberately chosen to use the 1.0 versioning to show that we decouple the evolution of the file from the evolution of the gatein project. You can consider those format as what I call XPI for eXternal Public Interface, i.e what we provide in a public manner that allow users to use the project in a "safe" manner. The XSD is available in gatein jars (in component.portal) and it should be also hosted on its public URI sometime although it is not necessary for the runtime. It can still also be reviewed by anyone before the gatein 3.0 release in order to fix bugs in the XSD or suggest a better structure of the schema. cheers Julien
