Dali Project/Weekly Meeting/July 07 2011

Dali Weekly Meeting

Agenda

New Topics

• Discuss JPA Metadata Conversion feature - Dali/Juno/JPAMetadataConversion, bug 138622
• Need for early patch release?
  • Out of date EL schemas
  • Maven support
  • Common Navigator 'appearsBefore' issue

Old Topics

• We should include code templates for boilerplate JPA and JAXB code. Start at beginning with db or xsd, what code do I need to write from here to get something working.
  • Building an EntityManager
  • Creating a JAXBContext
  • Create marshaller/unmarshaller
  • Main class to run EM or JAXB code

• Summary of JAXB tooling related issues
  • With class gen we should always add the input schema to our schema repository when possible, no check box needed.
  • Need facet validation to restrict co-existence of JAXB 2.2 and JRE 1.6. JAXB 2.2 will require Java SE 1.7.
  • MOXy 2.3 does not require JAXB 2.2, 2.1, 2.0.
  • For Indigo, we will keep platforms the same for now, since not much functionality in EL 2.2, 2.3 Dali platforms. In the future we will want to consider opening up the EL platforms for JAXB 2.1 facet selection (making EL 2.2, 2.3 available for JAXB 2.1 facet). The issue is that many users will be on 1.6 for a while. It would be nice to be able to take advantage of new EL functionality that does not require JAXB 2.2/JRE 1.7).

Action Items

• Shaun will continue to investigate WAB, bundle root changes, etc.
• OSGi JPA spec support - need to investigate this to see what things we may need to support for OSGi
• Allow for sync options for the persistence.xml at the project level
