  1. Sakai SEPP Report Charles Severance 5/21/2004

  2. Observations • Version 1.0 • Scope has expanded dramatically since January • There are a lot of “degrees of freedom” / “articulation points” to manage • We don’t want to (and cannot) slip deadlines • We will have to make some tough choices to make deadlines • Coordination with SEPP is primarily information flow outbound from the core team. • Version 2.0 will be much different • The June meeting is both to talk about 1.0 and build up the 2.0 community. • Hopefully, by June all of the “degrees of freedom” will be nailed down and it will be about execution

  3. Timeline Review • Alpha - 5/15 • Beta - 6/15 • Production - 7/15

  4. Alpha Release • Much of the current focus is on the framework in the Alpha release • Support for Sakai UI components and Java Server Faces • OKI OSID Implementations • Hibernate Object Relational Mapping • uPortal Integration

  6. OKI OSID Implementations • Aligned with the upcoming OKI release • Sakai APIs will be a superset of the OKI APIs OKI/Sakai Tools Pure OKI Tools Sakai OKI Implementations Sakai APIs

  7. Sakai APIs .vs. OKI APIs • Identical naming conventions (Agent, ID, Type, Group … ) • Identical logical flow and semantic meaning of those objects • Sakai APIs will be more “real JAVA” • Real JAVA iterators • Real JAVA exception model • Sakai APIs will also extend where necessary • “logging in” a user will be standardized • Updating information will be standardized • Different APIs will be extended to different amounts • Sakai APIs will use inversion of control rather than a loader (see Martin Fowler article)

  8. Programming to OKI APIs in Sakai • The OKI OSIDs present in Sakai will be “perfect” implementations • They will perform exactly as specified in the OKI documentation • Loader convention • Exception handling • Return types • Semantic conventions • A programmer will be able to read the OKI spec, and the Sakai out-of-band-agreement documentation (Types, Property naming, etc), write code and drop it into Sakai and it will work without a single line of code changed.

  9. Hibernate • Evaluated by team led by Lance Speelmon of IU - excellent talk at recent Sakai architect meeting • Team is now at training in NYC with the inventor of Hibernate • Excellent performance (5% slower than raw JDBC) • Clustering and caching solution • Little secret: EJB 3.0 is looking like Spring inversion of control and Hibernate Query Language • We are go for Hibernate - Should have the jars in Alpha - maybe even one tiny implementation By Beta will have several OSID implementations • IU/Stanford have converted their OKI 1.0RC OSID impls to Hibernate and are going into production - Yikes - trial by fire :)

  10. uPortal Integration • Three versions • Embedded - all of Sakai in a single JSR-168 portlet (Version 1.0) - Could be integrated into a uPortal 2.3 without modifications • Injected - uPortal 2.3 navigation is altered to support hierarchical navigation needed by Sakai. This is a modified version of uPortal 2.3 where Sakai has “taken over” much like CHEF and Jetspeed (Version 1.0) • Integrated - uPortal 3.0 - will look like injected but will work in unmodified uPortal 3.0 and use uPortal administration for layout rather than Sakai administration.

  12. Upcoming Issues • Beta Efforts • Tools and Gaps • Accessibility • Modifications to improve performance • Areas of concern • Production deployment in JBoss environment - we need to ramp up an effort on this • How much work the performance testing and improvement will actually (taking resources away from tool building)
