Cosmos Architecture Meeting 15-May-08

These are the minutes for the Architecture Meeting for 5/15/08.

20 min: Followup on COSMOS Architectural discussions from May 1 (Jimmy Mohsin et al)
- Jimmy to send out updated slides (please link here, Jimmy, as part of the email reduction act of 2008 ;-)
- Discuss updates to the two current state slides
- Discuss the future state slide:
  - We need to decide when / if the Domain will return.
  - We need to determine a realistic timeframe for supporting multiple Brokers for scalability / performance considerations. I get asked this question a lot from the transactionally-intensive products...
  - What is our position vis-a-vis WSDM / WEF for future releases?
Followup on logging (Hubert Leung) COSMOS_Logging
Followup on locale after collecting CA & CMDBf input (Sheldon Lee-Loy) How should COSMOS set locale information

Logging

Hubert went over his design document
We will clearly need multiple logs, as data managers will be in multiple locations
Hubert presented multiple alternatives for logging and externalization
Mark indicated he would like a clear recommendation of which approach COSMOS will use across the board
Hubert said the tooling should use the Eclipse approach for logging
Hubert said the framework code should not do its own logging, but rather should throw well formed exceptions that clients will handle and log
Hubert will update his document with a strong statement of the conventions we will use
This effort of implementing logging is targeted for i11

Locale

Sheldon talked to CMDBf group
CMDBf group indicated that there isn't any support yet for i18n
They have plans to add this in a future revision
Question was whether we can implement our own locale support in our data managers
