Request for Comment (RFC)

[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand.lake.de>]

Hi,

i would like to change some details in xmlBlaster,
if anybody likes to comment on it please feel free to do so.

1. New/changed package.
Common helper classes for the server AND 
client classes, as well for the RMI interface
will reside in the

   org.xmlBlaster.engine.helper

instead of 

   org.xmlBlaster.util

For example Destination.java, MessageUnit.java etc.


2. Changing CORBA IDL.
The MessageUnit struct gets a new member 'string XmlQos'
and the old MessageUnitContainer is removed.

Calls with seperate MessageUnit and qos arguments
will only have one MessageUnit argument in future.

Calls using MessageUnitContainer will be renamed to
use the new MessageUnit.

The method setClientAttributes() is deprecated
and will be removed.

Using the comming a2Blaster (authentication and
authorization server) we use another interface.


3. Changing native interface.
The native interface (which is used by all protocols
like RMI, CORBA, XML-RPC) will only have the new

   org.xmlBlaster.engine.helper.MessageUnit

class, and no CORBA dependency any more.


thanks,

Marcel
