Hello
I'd like to present the state of Pax Web 8. I hope to release Pax Web
8.0.0.GA in mid-September.
I maintain a todo.txt[1] file where I present the issues I'd like to implement in given milestones.
The priority is to have R7 compliance, though without running the TCK[2], because I didn't have time to find out an easy way to actually run the TCK :) However I'm glad it's public now.
So summarizing, these R7 features were implemented recently:
- Whiteboard preprocessors
- RegEx filter mapping
- Listener ordering according to ranking
- Session per OsgiContextModel / OsgiServletContext (including proper javax.servlet.context.tempdir handling)
- org.osgi.framework.ServiceObjects and proper service management (unget, prototype, singleton, bundle scopes)
Also I've implemented (or ensured the stability and consistency between Jetty, Tomcat and Undertow) for these:
- Whiteboard WebSockets - they work both through WABs, Whiteboard and even WebContainer (HttpService)
- Karaf integration tests - all tests work for all three runtimes. In Pax Web 7 the tests were running mostly on Jetty
The remaining *two* tasks are:
- Mixing (in different order) WAB and Whiteboard contexts, so we can install a WAB and Whiteboard/HttpService alter it by registering for example Preprocessors
- Whiteboard DTOs
kind regards
Grzegorz Grzybek
