   Restructured into sections for 1.0.1 / 1.0.x / 1.1 / 1.x

New Page:

=3D Goals for OJB 1.0.1 =3D

 * fix unit tests failures for '''all''' databases that are supported by OJB

 * cleanup/update of documentation as necessary (e.g. Deployment)

 * completion of javadoc (incl. constants, parameters, return values, excep=
tions) for at least the public/protected API parts

=3D Goals for OJB 1.0.x =3D

 * creation and manipulation of databases with classes and ant tasks, based=
 on commons-sql -- DatabaseManipulation
   ''[tomdz] IMO important enough to warrant introduction in 1.0.x''

=3D Goals for OJB 1.1 =3D

 * I think "native" JDO support should be in it -- ["JDOSupport"]

 * support for McKoi and AxisDB databases -- SupportedDatabases

 * Better support for all kind of Java Collections and Maps. -- Collections=
AndMaps

 * support a real mapping of one class to multiple tables. -- OneClassMulti=
pleTables

 * some restructuring would be nice ... e.g. move the reversedb stuff to it=
's own src dir and jar -- ["OJBTools"]

 * use jakarta-commons packages (e.g. logging and configuration) -- UseComm=
ons
   ''[tomdz] Esp. logging should replace the current logging handling of OJ=
B; also commons-collections could be useful''

 * support for the complete ODMG 3 query language (OQL) as defined in their=
 grammar -- ["OQLComplete"]
Application Management

 * support for jmx based run time management of broker management extc.

=3D Goals for OJB 1.x =3D

 * support for generics (Java 1.5) -- JavaGenerics

=3D Unassigned goals =3D

 * out-of-the-box support for storing primitive types. -- PrimitiveTypes
   ''[tomdz]: What is meant by that ?''

 * completing the Prevayler based PB implementation. -- PrevaylerBroker

 * clear separation of API and SPI parts. In the ATM we this already, havin=
g it in the other layers as well ease the maintenance process, as OJB devel=
opers we'll immediately see which parts can be changed without changing par=
ts of the API. -- ApiSpiSeparation

 * full support mixing of mapping strategies. -- MixingMappingStrategies =


 * i'm playing with oracle spatial at the moment ... not sure if there is a=
 way to support stuff like this .. but it would be nice ;-) -- OracleSpatial

 * I [thma] vote for removing support for the S.O.D.A query API (http://sod=
aquery.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html). I think we should focus on the sta=
ndards like JDO and ODMG that have found some acceptance in the market.


''There are a large number of features proposed for the 1.1 release, it rea=
ds more like a wish list than feature list :) Why not schedule a number of =
releases 1.1, 1.2, 1.n, 1.n+ that deliver features based on priority??? I'm=
 sure more users out there care about a JDO implementation than some other =
features especially now that JD02 is on the way. Besides its much easier to=
 make many smaller releases than a few large ones and should improve the cr=
edibility of this fine project.  --AndyHull''
