 Resin Future Plans

  1. Resin 1.2
    1. JavaScript
    2. WebDAV
    3. VFS
    4. JDBC
  2. Quercus 1.0

This is a wish-list, not a list of committed plans. As time goes by, these will be prioritized, and the less important features dropped. If you absolutely must have a feature, please tell us, preferably on the mailing list so other Resin users can chime in or disagree.

Resin 1.2

JavaScript

The main change will be the ECMAScript v3 when that gets approved.

The most interesting possible change is creating Java classes based on JavaScript. This would be extremely useful for callbacks. With this capability, a JavaScript class could be passed to Java libraries. For example, you could use a standard Java SAX parser and register JavaScript callbacks. Or you could create AWT objects with JavaScript instead of Java.

Saving compiled JavaScript classes is relatively straightforward. It's not clear what benefit is to be gained.

WebDAV

WebDAV extends HTTP to a full-fledged filesystem protocol. With WebDAV, you can publish a site without having to use ftp.

The VFS implementation of the http: scheme will also be upgraded to understand WebDAV.

VFS

Here are some possible additions. Clearly, not all will be implemented.
  • FTP
  • WebDAV
  • IMAP/POP client
  • JNDI
  • find and select using XPath patterns

JDBC

Support needs to be upgraded to JDBC 2.0.

Quercus 1.0

Quercus 1.0 may be be a collection of useful Java libraries, XSL stylesheets and scripts. It may turn into a full-fledged content management system like Zope.

Quercus work will not start until after Resin 1.1 is ready, sometime in 2000.

Possible features:

  • Weblog support. Make it easy for a weblog writer to create content only using the browser.
  • Form library
  • File upload and multipart-mime.
  • XML-RPC/SOAP
  • Discussion support.
  • Simple search engine.
