Aaron

  • NSDL Fedora 3.x Upgrade status - depends on internal factors (when can block out some downtime)
  • Target date of March 13th to release NSDL's current Fedora-compatible middleware plus "NCS" (a cataloguing system and more from Boulder).  Challenging to get various apps working together in same tomcat.  Looking to future (May?) for 3.x-compatible release.  Will start after this release is out.  Will be called "EduPak[sic]"

Andrew

  • Update on FCREPO-116: Switch to Derby. For Java 5, working with quick or custom install. Caveat: "DERBY_SYSTEM_HOME/sysprop derby.system.home", default location for database, config, etc.  By default, this is in the current directory, where you are when you start Derby.  Installer needs this info.  Running system also needs it.  Path in jdbc url specifies database, but isn't enough (still needs to know where to store 3 things: log (maybe no prob), properties (no prob), and default location for database (no prob)).  To support multiple webapp instances, would probably need to set system property in server code instead of as Tomcat-wide setting.  Currently working with Java 6.  First impression: Derby with Java 6 automatically uses JDBC4. Likely isn't a problem.

Bill

  • Update on FCREPO-402: WebAdmin. Stepped aside from doing ingest with Flex.  Instead, pushing to javascript.  Popping up an extra window to allow ingest of object or update a datastream. Caveat: will require people to disable popup blocker for this.  Still finalizing uploads.
  • Update on FCREPO-391: Update of REST API to support WebAdmin
  • Testing Update from Dan: With Sun, working to characterize a reasonable set of configurations and objects (derived from demo objects) in order to do testing.  Discussion of MyISAM vs InnoDB (MyISAM faster, though not transactional)
