[gatein-dev] GateIn objects

[Julien Viet]

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
