M. Durbin also advised that, if any such client is to be supported by other components of Fedora Commons 4.x, it would be best to have it covered within integration testing suites
LDPath Templating for HTML Views
HTML Views for Fedora Commons are currently implemented using Velocity
RDF tuples are transformed into objects; These objects, in turn, are rendered using the templates
The commonly-used LDPath language contains a templating extension; it would be ideal replace Velocity using this extension
James R. Griffin III showed some interest, but delayed commitment to the issue
Linking within the Splash Page
The insertion of a link encouraging end-users of Fedora Commons to register with the organization is desired
This would serve as a means by which to increase the degree of communication with the user base
Modeshape Integration and OSGI Compliance
Currently, A. Coburn is working to decouple the Modeshape package integration with fcrepo-kernel
By using the publicly-exposed Modeshape API, the best practices in compliance with complying with OSGI guidelines can be undertaken
This is being blocked when attempting to inspect binary content (within the context of performing fixity checks)
A. Soroka confirmed that this was indeed the case, but that Chris Beer and Benjamin Armintor should be contacted regarding the preferred resolution
Further, it appears to be the case that this was undertaken to access Infinispan cache stores more directly (and simply, as a consequence, broke through the Modeshape layer)
OSGI Cleaning
A. Birkland enquired as to whether or not A. Coburn still felt confident that complete OSGI support was possible for fcrepo-kernel
While this would be ideal, A. Coburn was uncertain as to whether or not this was possible
Issues in relation to the resolution of conflicts between Java servlet API's are far more trivial
This is necessary in order to deploy Fedora Commons using Karaf
Where A. Coburn's certainty wavered related to the exposing of other modules using RESTful endpoints
It was suggested that the services be registered and that a whiteboard pattern be implemented
Apache Felix was specified as a publishing framework in which this approach was commonly undertaken
A. Birkland confirmed that they retain their degree of interest in this undertaking
The increasing diversity offered in deployment strategies and increased modularity offered many benefits to the community
