[Jchassis-devel] what's up with JChassis these days

[<sjs...@ya...>]

Hi all,

After a brief pause (well, 2 months actually) I'm getting 
the hang of this lecturing stuff and finding myself with 
more time to work on JChassis. Even better than that, most 
of the semester 2 teaching work is over, and I'm not 
teaching in the summer semster.

And, if you thought that was good (or even if you didn't 
care), as of last Friday, JChassis has become the subject
of my research work at QUT, so not only can I work on it
at work, but I may get an honours student and/or a research
assistant to help me (i.e. slave away for me) next year!

I have spent the last week and a bit implementing some of
the JChassis "basic" infrastructure. This is coming on well.
The XML configuration loader is implemented, but not tested.
The basic service context is just a skeleton at the moment,
but will probably be less complex to code than the loader 
was. I'd say I'm roughly half-way toward finishing the basic 
infrastructure. Of course, then there are the basic services 
(logging, command line parsing, etc.) to build after this, 
but they are prety straightforward and self-contained. 
Each would be an excellent task for a beginner JChassis 
developer ... hint, hint ;-)  .

We really need to start designing the technical documentation
too if we are to get other developers involved. Will 'Retta 
and Susan join the team one wonders?? I seem to have lost Susan's
email address :-(

Anyway, hope you are all happy and well.

Cheers,
Sam.
