just testing the new gx release on bod as IdP and have a prob. Bod's log4j is 1.2.8 whereas gx uses 1.2.11 and the 1.2.8 version doesn't work. It's missing methods that are present in 1.2.11. Is it poss to update bod to 1.2.11? ta, Alistair |

First thing that struck me was that TIR/Proxy is application level
service stubs (as opposed to normal class level) turning the whole
thing into an Eclipse-type Rich Server Platform!
It seems to have taken the concept of RCP and jacked it up into the
realms of inter-server comms.
It's really web services on steroids. So much so that it's top heavy
and needs a heavyweight anchor in the "client" application (the proxy).
Whatever happened to AJAX for remote, lightweight UI stuff with
normal WS data channels?
Also, I'd like to see federated authn/authz mentioned before I dipped
any digits in the water.

I have to disagree here. The IMS TI is flawed in concept (unless you really
morph the concept). WSDL Web services are the result of a long painful
process towards interoperability. They are not perfect, but they're the best that
we've got. Anything you place in the space between consumer and producer
must not diminish the interoperability. This is what the TIR would do by bringing
in the requirement to be involved in extra Web service conversations.
(It would also introduce loads of extra tiresome work for developers.)
My next point is that all the aims of TIR can be carried out from the WSDL.
There will still be a lot of out of band stuff to sort out with anything but the
simplest services - but sort this out another way - another deployment
descriptor (the WSDL is a dd, too) won't supply the answers
Space on the client side is precious.
Tracking and logging projects might want a widget on the client side.
Reliable messagers might want one.
Security might want one. Transport adapters might want one. Data transformers might.
So rather than have a raft of client-side widgets building up,
best to have a widget that is a configurable multi-tasker.
This is essentially what JBI does - it's a beautiful spec and almost every JISC
Web service project should be using it, I respectfully suggest.
The JBI container reminds me of the Borg Collective. Cut orff from the Hive, a
Borg still has functionality, but plug in to the Collective and that's where the real
power lies.
The Borg entry in the Wikipedia is interesting:
"..their relentless pursuit of what they want to {HYPERLINK "/wiki/Assimilation_%28Star_Trek%29"}assimilate, their rapid {HYPERLINK "/wiki/Adaptation"}adaptability
to almost any defense, and their ability to continue functioning after what may
seem a devastating or even fatal blow seemingly unaffected."
Change this just a bit and you have the qualities of an enterprise service bus -
assimilation of diverse applications, adaptable interfaces, and limited self-
healing properties. The ESB as Hive. The JBI containers as drones. The
Queen might be JMX (or the service registry).
So, having JBI containers attached to service nodes is a good starting point for
ultimately creating a management structure using JMX which would allow
remote configuration of the Collective, er.. bus.
This might seem flippant, but there is a strong analogy present.

IMS are certainly sticking to their house style. From an initial scan through the impression that while the authors have attempted to address a very general concept of "tool" they have set all sorts of arbitrary constraints on what a tool can do. The vaguest part of the document is the bit that I think is most important - authentication and authorisation. It looks like the system that hosts the tool has to be very highly trusted by the system that hosts the LMS (and vice versa). I think the scenario they have in mind is two systems running on servers that share the same machine room rack, each with commercial software installed from two different vendors. I feel that a better way to progress would be for a variety of teams of software developers to try out their own practical solutions to the problem and apply a year or two of natural selection to shake down the best approach. Then is the time to formalise the whole thing in a logical and well written spec. which is aimed at an audience of tool developers. But, I don't really think any of this stuff is really specific to LMS/VLE systems - it is a much less specific problem which relates to any kind of web based service that is used by people assuming a variety of roles and interacting with each other in complex patterns while accessing and creating data, some of which is private to an individual or group and some of which is public.

Our view of IMS TI is that the best thing about it is that it exists. By that I mean that the problem of how to get portability of an _application_ rather than content between learning management systems is being addressed by open-source and commercial suppliers. The version 1.0 does very little that is useful, but it is a start. With it we will be able to test the concept that a specialised application we may develop for teaching modern language say, can be taken by a Bodington University or a Blackboard University or a Moodle University or a WebCT University and be run without major integration issues. If this turns out to be something people want to do a lot, we expect a lot of development of the specification to make it more useful. I would almost call it a research prototype of a spec.

We usually would do things on a price basis, and sometimes claim travel expenses, so its not normally a question of rates. Price work is basically a set amount for a particular work package which is agreed up front. I would suggest that open source outputs are more attractive from freelancers / small companies like ours as they can be made available to the community. Also the team get a buzz from working on stuff for the community and getting paid, which I guess is the same as being paid to do this kind of thing by your college/uni, we also have two legs, two arms, single head etc :) Adam Marshall wrote: >Bodington would certainly like to be able to include Sakai tools, so yes, >that does sound interesting. > >Was it your intention to use IMS TI as a framework? > >>From what Selwyn has said in the past, I think commercial developers are >fine so long as there is some institutional backing.

Bodington would certainly like to be able to include Sakai tools, so yes, that does sound interesting. Was it your intention to use IMS TI as a framework? From what Selwyn has said in the past, I think commercial developers are fine so long as there is some institutional backing. Ie, I don't think they'd get too far on their own unless they were sort of 'commissioned' by an institution, but if they're a prt of a project proposal then rt=that's fine. Its possible that JISC may quibble about their rates but in practise this has never happened to us. adam | -----Original Message----- | From: bod...@li...

Adam, I weakened. I read the IMS document and really enjoyed it. It's over-complicated and ranges from poor to crazy. So here's the IMS scenario: a Tool developer has to create the tool, probably based on a WSDL. Then the deployment descriptor has to be written. Then the TIR has to be deployed on the Tool-side. Then the Tool has to communicate with the TIR Web service client so that it can tell the the LMS-TIR that everything's OK. Good gordon highlanders! Here's another scenario. The Tool developer sends the WSDL to SOCKET. VLE(portal/pda/phone) has access to another tool. End of story. You know - a whole email and I didn't mention the enterprise service bus...... oh, bugger! If people insist on placing widgets on the tool side then why not deploy well-established widgets. And then we can have an enterprise service bus... damn and blast it!! Twice now, and I started so well.

You can count us in as interested in developing a piece of Tetra for a collective bid of pieces of Tetra assuming that part of the bid would be the integrated use of pieces of tetra to deliver some use case led application or other... we are very interested in GRID / infrastructure / distributed application stuff by the way... and not just lifelong learning / ePortfolio / PDP apps... currently we are using struts/tiles but not adverse to spring or a complete shake up at the jsp framework layer... is the Tetra vision to embrace more than one framework or more generic still?

Would there be any interest in a JISC capital eLearning bid to collectively work on concepts for Tetra? Sakai has a bit more to offer now that the skeleton framework is available (Sakai Mini) and 2.2 should offer significant code clean-up to make development easier. Cambridge is particularly keen on exchanging Tools in IMS TI with Bodington sites as well.

I guess we feel that if the group emailer were to go into HEAD then we'd like to see these features in the code, otherwise I think we'd have reservations as to whether the code was general enough.
