jpdl schema filename

[tom.baeyens]

for the jpdl schema file name, what is the best naming strategy ?

jpdl.xsd
jpdl4.xsd
jpdl4.1.xsd

what kind of schema changes are allowed inbetween minor and micro version updates ?

opinions ?

[camunda]

I would allow schema extensions in minor updates (4.1/4.2/...). Micro updates would be maybe too confusing?

So I would prefer jpdl4.1.xsd I guess.

[tom.baeyens]

that is what my gutt feeling says as well. but i recall that in jbpm 3 we also did some (compatible) updates in micro releases.

should we think about strickt rules. or just follow instinct to what kind of updates we can do ?

[camunda]

Being to restrictive can result in switching off the schema validation in order to improve stuff or use new features (seen that a lot in projects)... So personally I wouldn't have too big problems if there are backward compatible changes in the Schema in Micro-Versions.

And follow your instinct is never the worst idea :-)

I agree, jpdl4.1.xsd is the best choce. As you say, there shouldn't be any xsd changed between micro releases
