Re: [Springframework-developer] AOP and release date

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

I, Jon Tirsen and Bob Lee set up a sourceforge project called aopalliance a
couple of months ago.

Jon checked in the interfaces--a single package. This version was slightly
obsolete, so I'm about to check in minor changes to AOP alliance in the
process of modifying Spring to work with AOP alliance. This involves a few
minor name changes for Spring mainly (like invocation.getAttachment ->
invocation.getResource and MethodInterceptor.invoke takes MethodInvocation
not Invocation to save a cast).

I should check in changes to both AOP alliance and Spring on the weekend.
I'm chasing Jon and Bob to get them to commit to implementing the AOP
alliance interfaces in Nanning and jAdvise.

I was working on an AOPAlliance spec, but unfortunately this got a bit
waylaid by my trip to Australia, other work on Spring and the potential
problems with Parc's patent on AOP. And Jon and Bob have been a bit quiet of
late.

Hopefully if Nanning and jAdvise do go down the AOP alliance route, this
would be an important part of the lightweight framework story, and would be
a good promotional angle for Spring. Might also be a good basis for a TSS
article etc.

I'll post a message here when I have the AOP alliance and Spring sf
repositories in synch.

Btw, I'm very keen for us to get a release ASAP.

I'm talking at the ServerSide symposium at the end of June--I would love to
have a 0.9 or even 1.0RC release by then to talk about. It's one of the best
promotional opportunities we'll get in the near future, and ideally we need
to be on at least our second release by then.

Regards,
Rod
