In one Ignite Chicago panel, Day’s own scientists and experts gathered to address any possible question about Day, JCR, CQ5, CRX and open development coming from the audience starving for answers. Here’s the scoop.
The panelists participating in the Q&A session included:
- Roy Fielding, Chief Scientist
- Greg Klebus, Sr. Product Manager
- Lars Trieloff, Product Manager
- Jean-Michel Pittet, SVP oF Engineering
- Gerd Hanke, Director of Product Management
Q: Is it possible to do group matching from an AD group to the same group in CQ? I cannot find this in documentation.
A: The functionality is there, we’ll look into making sure documentation is clear on this.
Q: What is the future of Day’s involvement in open development and open standards under Adobe?
A: We will keep doing what we are doing right now, addressed the question Roy Fielding. We will continue using OSGi and open development and design, continuing to be on the leading edge of server-side OSGi.
Day will continue being a part of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Adobe is, actually, looking to learn from Day in this field, we just need to figure out how to do that. Adobe is a big company, but we’re a good match and just need to figure out how to improve both companies.
Regarding the future of open standards outside of Day, what I tell people is that I am lousy at making predictions, but good at making everyone do what I want them to do. Right now, I am working on Waka – a protocol for HTTP replacement. I just need to publish it before the acquisition closes in 2 weeks [laughs].
HTML5 is a big huha in standards. It’s a great open standard. The problem though is that it is a browser development standard, and not even browsers agree with what’s in it. Calling HTML5 a standard right now is a joke, really. It will take a year or two for that to shake out.
Q: How do you get involved in open development?
Fielding answered with his personal story on how he got into the open standards field. He was paid to do research and had freedom to write about web technology. As a result, he wrote about something that became a worldwide standard [HTTP].
Other panelists added their suggestions and recommended communicating on ASF mailing lists as one of the ways to get involved. Within W3C, it is a little more complicated to get involved, but possible. Another way is if you have an idea, find an existing project or standard and ask the participants and committers of that project directly on how to get involved. Maybe there’s an extension waiting to materialize.
Q: Are there any plans to move from jsp to jsf?
A: CQ5 was built to support flexibility in the choice of frameworks. Even though the product ships mainly in jsp, it also includes examples of other technologies. The goal is to give customers the most flexibility if they have already made investments into existing infrastructures. JSF has a lot more session-oriented interactions, and Day usually tries to steer away from session-centric development and go towards RESTful interactions vs. the heavy session-based interaction.
Q: Do we keep legacy, Spring MVC work or replace it with Day?
Fielding again chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek comment: Replace everything, but I say that because I don’t have production responsibilities.
