Some Issues for Community

[alrubinger]

I've the following issues which should be good candidates for community input, so sign up here. :)

All deal with the EJB3 Proxy Component, located:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/ejb3/trunk/proxy/

Encapsulate Container infomation in TO/VO:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1454

The Container, in its initialization, calls upon a JNDI Registrar to "bindEjb"; this is responsible for creating all Proxy Factories, registering them with the MC abstraction, and binding appropriate Proxy entries to JNDI. Over the past couple weeks I've kept adding onto the API (JndiSessionRegistrarBase.bindEjb, all Proxy Factory and Proxy Invocation Handler Constructors) container information, and now everything's cluttered. Also making a simple change means you have to propogate that through the 3 layers involved. So this needs encapsulation into a single value object to describe the necessary info from the requesting container, and pass that around instead.

MockServer must report startup / shutdown
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1396

RemoteAccessTestCase starts up a MockServer in a separate process. The current mechanism used is to Thread.sleep for it to startup, and kill the Process to shut it down. Could be more elegant such that the test doesn't rely on a startup within X seconds (under load this can cause incorrect transient failures). Best approach here is probably to open some socket, implement a minimal protocol, and make hooks for "isRunning" and "shutdown" tasks. Nothing too fancy required, this is a little standalone process used in testing only.

Create Tests for @Remote pass-by-value within local JVM
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1401

Spec-defined, see ticket.

I'll start with this.

Andrew,

Now that the changes related to EJBTHREE-1454 are nearing completion, i plan to take up the next task.

Is EJBTHREE-1401 being implemented by Robert Marcano as stated here http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=139821?

Doesn't seem to be, so open. :)

Now that both EJBTHREE-1454 and EJBTHREE-1401 have been done for review, i am thinking of moving to the next one:

MockServer must report startup / shutdown
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1396

RemoteAccessTestCase starts up a MockServer in a separate process. The current mechanism used is to Thread.sleep for it to startup, and kill the Process to shut it down. Could be more elegant such that the test doesn't rely on a startup within X seconds (under load this can cause incorrect transient failures). Best approach here is probably to open some socket, implement a minimal protocol, and make hooks for "isRunning" and "shutdown" tasks.

Let me know if you want me to take this one next or if you have something else that can be taken up first :-)

A better MockServer would be great. :)

Okay, i will start work on this.
