This document is a living list of the action items related to the
current development of the Slide architecture for the
Tomcat servlet container. All of the source code for the Slide architecture is currently
in the jakarta-slide subproject.
Some XML documentation is available in src/doc. It probably could use some updates.
To build a standalone DAV server, you can do the following :
The columns in this report contain the following information:
Developers can nominate themselves to work on particular action items by asking a Committer to add their name and EMAIL address to those items. The developers working on each item should discuss and agree upon the approach to be used for implementing the item's changes to the project source code and documentation, prior to completing those changes. Such discussions should take place on the SLIDE-DEV mailing list so that everyone can stay apprised of what is going on, or chime in if they want to contribute ideas and suggestions.
For convenience, the action items have been organized into general categories, which are presented in alphabetical order. The following categories of actions are currently identified:
| Priority | Action Item | Volunteers |
|---|---|---|
| High | Design and implement an object cache (one cache for each object type). | Remy Maucherat |
| Medium | Modify data objects so that recycling can be used (instead of cloning). | --- |
| Priority | Action Item | Volunteers |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | XMLMarshaller and XMLUnmarshaller don't handle the new descriptors. | --- |
| High | Add additional default action types. [org.apache.slide.common.NamespaceConfig] | Remy Maucherat |
| High | Put back security and lock checks (which were removed due to a partial rewrite of the API. [org.apache.slide.structure] [org.apache.slide.content] [org.apache.slide.lock] | Remy Maucherat |
| Medium | Redesign the config files handling. | --- |
| Medium | Either upgrade logging to the latest log4j or design a new logging facility (Reuse the one from Tomcat ?). | --- |
| Medium | Use Jakarta Regexp to do service scope matching. [org.apache.slide.common.Uri] | --- |
| Medium | Update the documentation, and make it easy to build it with the associated stylesheets. | --- |
