[Springframework-developer] AppServer skills

[JP P. <jp....@ti...>]

Hi everyone,

I think the two points focused by Lars are very important for the future
of Spring.

1) As Isabelle cannot longer take the tutorial in charge, we will have
to organize this point at a very high priority.

2) It will be good to make the tour of Application servers skills in the
team. The goal would be to make run the demos on the most used AS and
adjust the Ant scripts.

Currently PetClinic is tested on TomCat and JBoss , Countries on JBoss.
We will have to define the servers for which we will have as targets.
Obviously Websphere and Weblogic can difficultly be skipped if we tend
to have a large audience. The rest depends mainly on skills we can
found, but Orion or Oracle iAS could also be choices.

For people having experience with one of these servers, it should not be
a huge task. Having knowledge on our framework, it's simpler for us as
for Spring newbies.

Together, the two points should largely facilitate the jumping into
Spring. I think it's a goal for 1.0RC.

Jean-Pierre
