[OJB-developers] JCA Commit time?

[Matthew B. <ma...@so...>]

I've been using the JCA for our porting from Castor to OJB project for a
while, and it seems pretty stable. I'm sure there are some issues left in
it, and it doesn't have XA support yet, but it's certainly stable enough for
people to start to use and report bugs against. Should I commit it now?

Before checking in code, please assure that all things compile and that all
JUnit tests pass successfully.

> No real JUnit tests for this piece, but the sample EJB works for CRUD 
> operations and OQL queries (essentially the ODMG interface)

Before checking in code please check for conflicts with checkins of others.
IDEs like eclipse will help you to merge things together. Before commiting
merged files please again check 1.)

> All new, so no conflicts.

If you are checking in code that implements new features, please also
provide JUnit Testcases that validate the new functionality. 
If the new features are visible to the end-user please also add (or modify)
documentation.
