[Springframework-developer] Integrating Castor JDO with Spring

[Werner G. <wer...@gm...>]

Hi,

as some of you might have already noticed (http://www.springframework.org/node/100), I am currently working on getting 
Castor JDO (http://castor.codehaus.org) - and possibly maybe Castor XML - integrated with Spring. We are currently in the 
process of selecting a couple of Castor JDO users willing to test-drive that code that has been produced by myself. Whilst 
finishing preparations for this task, I'd be interested to learn about the (standard) procedures for 'donating' such code to the 
Spring framework. As we are (unfortunately .. ;-)) not the first ones going about this, I am sure a couple of lessons have been 
learned at your side by integrating Hibernate, JDO et alias.

Any pointers would be welcome, but most importantly, I'd be interested to learn about

- licensing
- availability of (JUnit) tests for testing the integration.
- documentation

For those of you feeling a desire to risk an early peek, a very early patch can be reviewed at 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CASTOR-1095. This patch basically includes classes like LocalCastorFactoryBean, 
CastorTemplate, CastorInterceptor and CastorTransactionManager (plus supporting classes), plus some (initial) JUnit test 
cases (to be expanded) testing various aspects of integration.

Regards
Werner Guttmann
