# Apache Cayenne Board Report, March 2022 ## Description Apache Cayenne is a Java database persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach to object graph persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence services, and a cross-platform GUI database mapping/modeling/development tool. ## Issues A security vulnerability report was passed to the Cayenne PMC from the Apache Security Team. This vulnerability targets an optional and rarely used component of Cayenne: Remote Object Persistence (ROP). ROP is a Java client library used to execute Cayenne operations (query, insert, update, etc) against the Java server (and backing database) from a Java clent. After researching the issue, we created a CVE (CVE-2022-24289) and announced to our userbase that anyone using ROP (rare) should upgrade to Cayenne 4.2 OR update to a patched version of Java (after 6u211, 7u201, 8u191, or 11.0.1) OR use protobuf instead of Hessian serialization. No action needs to be taken for non-ROP applications. ## Membership Data Apache Cayenne was founded 2006-12-19 (15 years ago). There are currently 23 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.

Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach
to object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence
services, and a GUI mapping/modeling tool.
## Activity:
The project is working towards 4.0.M3, though this quarter was fairly quiet.
We switched 4.0 branch to Java 1.7, upgrading a number of internal APIs. There

Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach to object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence services, and a GUI mapping/modeling tool. Project Status * Cayenne 3.1 Final was released on September 29. * Active 3.2 release branch was renamed to 4.0 to reflect a significant scope of changes. * 4.0 development has been very active. We added a new fluent query APIs, and a new automated way to synchronize the ORM model with DB-schema and Java classes, made significant CayenneModeler UI improvements. More new features are likely to happen in the coming months. * We are in preparations to release 4.0.M2. Community * dev@ list activity is higher than before, due to the active discussions of the new 4.0 features. * There seems to be a trend of declining activity on the user@ list though. Not specifically in this quarter, more like a long-term trend, partially explained by good support provided on stackoverflow, partially perhaps by the project maturity. * We receive steady contributions from two new developers. * The last PMC member was added in December 2012. * The last committer was added in May 2012.

Apache Cayenne is an open source persistence framework providing object-relational mapping (ORM) and remoting services. Development Work on 3.0.3 (STABLE) and 3.1 (ALPHA) releases continue. Artifacts for 3.1 Milestone 3 prepared and awaiting vote for release. This release was delayed by changing the build/release procedures to be more Maven-centric. Google Summer of Code: Ksenia Khailenko was mentoring Eshan Sudharaka on adding Cayenne Modeler support into Eclipse. The project was completed successfully and will now be evolving further within the project. DocBook migration of the project documentation (currently in Confluence) is beginning. We are happy with the toolset so far. Output to html and pdf already working, which is an improvement on Confluence. Web site Unfinished items from Branding Requirements: Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included -> Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't. Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site -> OK, other than 'tm' symbols Further work on the website styling on hold pending our evaluation of Apache CMS as a replacement for Confluence (for the pages which aren't product documentation). Community Dzmitry Kazimirchyk added as a committer. Mailing list activity is above average on developer and user lists. The user list has seen a spike of questions from newcomers to Cayenne and several of the questions led to wide-ranging discussions. Many users are also starting to use the 3.1 milestone and asking questions about configuration which aren't well documented yet.
Development * Artifacts for Cayenne 3.0.2 (STABLE) prepared for release vote. This is a bug-fix release with no new API changes. * Work on 3.0.3 (STABLE) and 3.1 (UNSTABLE) releases to continue with another 3.1 milestone expected soon. * Google Summer of Code: Ksenia Khailenko is mentoring Eshan Sudharaka on adding Cayenne Modeler support into Eclipse. * DocBook migration. Christian Grobmeier organised complimentary licenses for Oxygen XML to assist migrating site documentation from Confluence to DocBook. Web site * Highlighting unfinished items from Branding Requirements (per http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs ) * Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included (Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't.) * Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (OK, other than 'tm' symbols) * Further work on the website styling on hold pending our evaluation of Apache CMS as a replacement for Confluence. Community * Mailing list activity is normal. * Christian Grobmeier announced on the developer mailing list he has agreed to writing two technical articles on Cayenne for JavaMagazine which should be published this fall. We will continue helping Christian by answering questions he has on Cayenne.
Development * Released the second milestone of Cayenne 3.1 (3.1M2) on March 8, 2011. 3.1 is a brand new release that features built-in DI container, singleton free runtime and a number of other productive features. Milestone 2 includes stability improvements, numerous bugfixes in the runtime and in Cayenne Modeler, new object lifecycle management features (using annotations for listeners), plus data channel filtering. Current 3.1 feature guide can be found at: http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/guide-to-31-features.html. * Work on 3.0.2 (STABLE) and 3.1 (UNSTABLE) releases continues. Web site Highlighting unfinished items from Branding Requirements (per http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs ) * Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included. (Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't.) * Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (OK, other than 'tm' symbols) Community * Mailing list activity is normal. * Christian Grobmeier on the developer mailing list expressed interest in writing one or more technical articles about Cayenne and was looking for suggestions as to what we felt was relevant and appropriate. We look forward to answering his questions in the future regarding this. * There was an effort to stop supporting Java 1.5 for Cayenne 3.1, but due to community feedback we have decided to continue to support Java 1.5. * Ksenia Khailenko has begun blogging about Cayenne (http://cayenneinpractice.blogspot.com/).
Development * Released the first milestone of Cayenne 3.1 (3.1M1) on December 2. 3.1 is a brand new release that features built-in DI container, singleton free runtime and a number of other cool things. * Work on 3.0.2 (STABLE) and 3.1M2 (UNSTABLE) releases is in progress. Web site In line with the requirements to meet http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs the PMC has determined that Apache Cayenne complies in the following manner: * Project Website Basics: homepage is project.apache.org (COMPLIES) * Project Naming And Descriptions: use proper Apache forms, describe product, etc. (COMPLIES) * Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included (Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't.) * Trademark Attributions: attribution for all ASF marks included in footers, etc. (COMPLIES) * Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site (OK, other than 'tm' symbols) * Project Metadata: DOAP file checkedin and up to date (COMPLIES) Community * Xenia Khailenka was voted as a new Cayenne committer. * September, October and November were rather active months on the user list following slower summer months (not sure if this is can be attributed to the earlier PR activity associated with 3.0 final. There's certainly a number of completely new people on the user list). Dev list had traffic at its normal level.
Development * Released Cayenne 3.0.1 (September 7), which is a bug-fix release (no new API changes). * Extensive discussion regarding release procedures led to better release artifacts. More specifically, we now have a full buildable source distro, instead of a handicapped one we had before. Binary assemblies are made out of that signed source distro in the spirit of the approach described by Roy Fielding here: [1]. Our revised process is documented here: http://cayenne.apache.org/release-guide.html * Cayenne 3.1 is under development. Most recent activities included refactoring of the core services to take advantage of the new built-in Dependency Injection container. Community * Activity on the user mailing list has been normal. * Hats off to Sally Khudairi for getting the unprecedented press coverage of Cayenne in July. Even though we were late with the press release (Cayenne 3.0 final was out in May) due to the PMC inexperience with these matters, it was still rather successful. A few more articles may still be coming. [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200904.mbox/%3CEA990BCE-46D0-4D06-9067-30203292E067@gbiv.com%3E
Development * Released Cayenne 3.0 final (May 7). * Released Cayenne 3.0 Release Candidate 3 (April 5). * Cayenne 3.1 is under development. The feature list hasn't been finalized yet, but major enhancements include dependency injection to ease configuration and support for vertical inheritance. Community * Activity on the user mailing list has been higher than normal, perhaps due to the release of 3.0 final. * Andrew Lindesay sent in a CLA and was granted permission to update our official documentation through Confluence.
Development * Cayenne 3.1 development is now taking place in the trunk with 3.0 in a maintenance branch. Cayenne 3.0 API is frozen and only bug fixes will be done and perhaps a few Cayenne Modeler tweaks which are external to the API. * Updated tutorials for Cayenne 3.0. * Released Cayenne 3.0 Release Candidate 1 (January 6). * Released Cayenne 3.0 Release Candidate 2 (February 5). * Resolved Hudson issues that were plaguing the automated build/test. Community * Activity on the user mailing list has been normal, but activity on the development mailing list has been elevated due to the addition of new committers in the previous quarter and the releases of RC1 and RC2 plus discussions of new items going into 3.1.
Development * Released Cayenne 3.0 Beta 1. Barring errors discovered during the beta phase, the 3.0 API is frozen. A few more features in Cayenne Modeler are still planned which are external to the API. Community * Added Olga Tkachova as a committer. * Added Evgeny Ryabitskiy as a committer. * Activity on the user and development lists has been normal.
evelopment * Working towards 3.0 Beta, lots of improvements to the Cayenne core and to CayenneModeler were added. Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady. * No new or retired committers and PMC members.
Development * 3.0M6 was released in May 2009 * We are aiming for the next release to be a beta for 3.0 final. * Andrey Razumovsky was elected to the PMC after a productive year as committer Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady.
Development * Significant development activity on the Cayenne core and the Modeler. Addressed a few long-standing user requests. * 3.0M5 got released in December 2008. * Added GoogleAnalytics to the web site in January. Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady. * An issue was raised on the PMC list about the procedure of working with non-English speaking contributors. We are receiving a stream of patches from such a person, but we don't have a mechanism for making this contributor a committer, as there's no direct communication with this person on the mailing list, only communication done by proxy. Currently there's no resolution, and communication continues in a national language via one of the PMC members, and all the submissions are still done via patches.
Development ----------- * Lots of development activity on the Cayenne core and the Modeler. * 3.0M5 release voting is coming to a close. Community --------- * Welcomed Andrey Razumovsky as a new committer to the project. Andrey participated in the Google Summer of Code improving the Cayenne Modeler and has shown great interest in the project and continued supporting it. * Welcomed Robert Zeigler as a new committer to the project. Robert has been using Cayenne since before it joined the Apache project and has been helpful with answering questions and code patches in the past. He is also working on the Tapestry+Cayenne integration project to enable Tapestry to natively use Cayenne as a backend ORM. * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady.
Development * Wrapping up 3.0M5 release. * Google Summer of Code work completed. Our single Summer of Code project (student - Andrey Razumovsky, mentor - Kevin Menard) was a huge success, resulting in significant improvements made to CayenneModeler GUI mapping tool. Andrey expressed the intention to further participate in Cayenne past the Summer of Code program. Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady.
Development * Active development of Cayenne 3.0. * Posted 3.0M4 development milestone release: http://cayenne.apache.org/2008/05/29/cayenne-30m4-released.html * Google Summer of Code work commenced. Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been steady.
Development * Active development of Cayenne 3.0. * Posted 3.0M3 development milestone release * Cayenne now using the shared Hudson CI server * The Sun donated server had been offline for the last month due to hardware issues and so little work has been done to set it up for the Cayenne project to date. Now that it is back up, we expect to install a range of databases on that machine shortly for testing purposes. Community * Activity on the user and development lists has been higher than previous averages. Cryptography * A review of http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html has determined that Cayenne does not have any reporting obligations since it does not contain any cryptographic code under the ECCN 5D002 definition. Although Cayenne might be used by developers with cryptographic libraries, it is not "specially designed or modified for" such a purpose.
The board reiterated that the ASF will not accept project targetted donations.
Development ----------- * Active development of Cayenne 3.0. * Posted 3.0M2 development milestone release * Posted 2.0.4 stable release * Switched Cayenne 3.0 development to Java 1.5 from a mixed Java 1.4/1.5 setup after a poll on the user list revealed overwhelming community acceptance of requiring Java 1.5 for Cayenne 3.0. * Sun donated a server to ASF to be used for Cayenne test environment. Infra set it up for us. Cayenne developers took over from there, and now we are installing databases and CI software needed for Cayenne testing. Community --------- * Restored commit rights of a committer emeritus Andriy Shapochka * Activity on the user list is about average, on dev list is above average.
A question was raised as to whether or not this represented a targetted donation, something we have never allowed. Justin confirmed that he was in the loop and that this hardware is shared by multiple projects, despite how the wording of this report may lead one to think otherwise.
Approved by General Consent.
Development ----------- * Active development of Cayenne 3.0. * Posted 3.0M1 release - the first milestone release of 3.0 that's been in development for some time. * Started JSR-220 (JPA) TCK testing. Community --------- * Aristedes Maniatis joined the Cayenne PMC. * Activity on both user and developer lists is about average.

Approved by General Consent.
Infrastructure -------------- We'd like to thank the ASF Infrastructure team for the painless transition to TLP. Development ----------- * Cayenne continues to make good progress towards its goal of JPA compliance with the 3.0 release. Just added initial EJBQL support. * There is some work in progress performed by Cayenne and Geronimo communities to integrate Cayenne JPA provider in Geronimo. * Maven snapshots from the new 3.0 branch are now being made available to enhance wider testing of the new features. Community --------- No real changes here, although the mailing lists have been busier than usual.
Approved by General Consent.
SUMMARY
We finished the infrastructure migration and launched the new site at:
http://cayenne.apache.org/
It is worth noting that this site is generated completely from Confluence
and shows that it is possible to create more 'polished' sites than is often
attempted from this wiki. Some of the techniques might be useful to other
projects.
COMMUNITY
Cayenne community is healthy as before.
New PMC Members: NONE
New Committers: Aristedes Maniatis (in recognizing his contribution leading
site redesign process).
PROJECT STATUS
* Launched the new site at http://cayenne.apache.org/.
* Lots of work being done on 3.0 release.
* Discussions are being held on publicity strategies. Page has been
created in wikipedia.
* DOAP file submitted to projects.apache.org
PROBLEMS
* Still waiting to get access to the JPA TCK. NDA for Andrus Adamchik
is confirmed to be on file, but the TCK access hasn't been granted.
Henri noted his approval of the site but also noted that the commercial support link should be open to anyone. Sam asked If Geir was aware ofthe lack of access to the JPA TCK. Jim responded that Geir was and had responded to the PMC and dev list.
Approved by General Consent.
SUMMARY ------- This is the first ever report after Cayenne graduation as a TLP. At the moment we concentrate on the infrastructure migration and making the first non-incubating release. COMMUNITY --------- Cayenne community is healthy as before. New volunteers help us with the web site design. New PMC Members: NONE New Committers: NONE PROJECT STATUS -------------- * We are working on the infrastructure migration to the TLP location, although most of the opened infrastructure tasks haven't been addressed yet. * Stable releases 1.2.2 and 2.0.2 are being voted on at this moment. 2.0.2 should become the first release made by Cayenne as a TLP (as opposed to 1.2 which is a pre-Apache maintenance branch). 3.0 release milstone is on the way. * We are working on a new web site design.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management Committee (PMC), to be known as the "The Apache Cayenne Project", be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further RESOLVED, that The Apache Cayenne Project be and hereby is responsible for the creation and maintenance of a software project related to object-relational mapping (ORM) and remoting services; and be it further RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Cayenne" be and hereby is created, the person holding such office to serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair of The Apache Cayenne Project, and to have primary responsibility for management of the projects within the scope of responsibility of The Apache Cayenne Project; and be it further RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of The Apache Cayenne Project: * Andrus Adamchik (aadamchik@apache.org) * Bill Dudney (bdudney@apache.org) * Michael Gentry (mgentry@apache.org) * Tore Halset (torehalset@apache.org) * Mike Kienenberger (mkienenb@apache.org) NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Andrus (Andrei) Adamchik be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Cayenne, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed; and be it further RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Cayenne Project be and hereby is tasked with the migration and rationalization of the Apache Incubator Cayenne podling; and be it further RESOLVED, that all responsibility pertaining to the Apache Incubator Cayenne podling encumbered upon the Apache Incubator PMC are hereafter discharged. It was noted that there were no ASF members on the PMC list and this generated minor concern with the board. Jim volunteered to "keep an eye" on the new project. Special Order 6C, Establishment of the Apache Cayenne Project, was approved by Unanimous Vote.
Apache Cayenne is component-oriented persistence framework, providing object-relational mapping (ORM), remoting services, and a JPA-compatible persistence provider (JSR-220). Cayenne entered incubation in March 2006. Top items to resolve before graduation: * The Cayenne community has completed all incubator tasks, the Incubator has voted for the graduation of the Apache Cayenne podling, and the text of the board resolution has been sent to the ASF Board. What has been done for incubation since the last report: * We rewrote remaining code (originally by Gary Jarrel) to finish out IP issues. * We released Apache Cayenne 2.0.1. * We added Tore Halset as a Cayenne PPMC member. * We added Malcolm Edgar as as Cayenne committer. * We worked through the graduation process and the Incubator PMC has voted to recommend Cayenne for graduation to the ASF Board. Plans and expectations for the next period * We expect to graduate Cayenne to a TLP during the December 20th ASF Board meeting. === ADF Faces / Trinidad === Apache Trinidad is a library of JavaServer Faces components, runnable with every JSF-compliant implementation. The Trinidad (ADF Faces) project solved lot's of todos. We also worked on lot's of jira issue, like: * Improving the client side validation * Moving some internal classes to API * cleanup of notices and licenses for compliance with the ASF * improved PDA support (got patches from users here) * JSF 1.2 compliant One of the biggest technical working points these days is the JSF 1.2 branch to be compliant against a JSF 1.2 impl. One of the artifacts (the maven plugins) is currently used by the MyFaces team to work on their JSF 1.2 impl. We added a new committer to the project.
Finished tasks: Finished switch to the ASF infrastructure. Finished relicensing files. Received CLAs from all contributors but Gary Jarrel Released Cayenne 1.2 externally to Apache Voted for a new PPMC member (member's acceptance is still pending) Mentored 3 students as a part of Summer of Code Switched the code to Maven Had discussions with Geronimo project on JPA integration. Scheduled: Will rewrite those few pieces by Gary Jarrel to finish out IP issues, then Will release Apache Podling Cayenne 2.0 in a week or two.
Cayenne just entered the incubator.
