OpenWebBeans

20 Mar 2024 [Mark Struberg / Jeff]

Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.

## Description:
 Apache OpenWebBeans is an ALv2-licensed implementations of the
 "Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform"
 specifications which are defined as JSR-299 (CDI-1.0), JSR-346
 (CDI-1.1 and CDI-1.2 MR), JSR-365 (CDI-2.0) and
 Jakarta CDI (CDI-4.0).

 The OWB community also maintains a small server as
 Apache Meecrowave subproject. Meecrowave bundles latest releases of

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 We just shipped our 3rd CDI-4.0 release.
 We've had 86 commits in the last quarter. But it seems the reporter
 statistics are broken as it still shows 0 commits?

## Community Health
 Rather fine. We really lack new people, but have still easily enough
 active ones.

## Activity:
 We've now rolled the first release of our our CDI-4.0 implementation.
 The next step will be to work towards a Jakarta EE release of
 Apache Meecrowave.

## Community Health
 4 different committers in the last quarter shows that there is still
 decent activity if necessary although there is not much fresh blood
 on the horizon.

 We've got our CDI-4.0 implementation ready and pass most TCK tests.
 Thinking about rolling an alpha release as TCK testing within TomEE
 still takes a bit.

## Community Health
 Quite okish for such an old project.

 A few refinements are still needed to finish this task. It is also
 already used in the new TomEE branch targetting Jakarta 10.

## Health:
 We get things done. With bursts of productivity and periods of silence
 as expected from such a mature project.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 We switched our mainline development branch to OWB-4.0.0 which targets
 Jakarta CDI 4.0. This is the first native jakarta namespace work.
 We settled on not implementing "CDI-lite" in core OWB but to keep it
 totally pluggable. This is based on the fact that CDI-lite is actually only
 adding parts which are fully optional and not making CDI more lightweight
 (rather the opposite).
 There is a discussion whether we should name our upcoming release OWB-4.0.0 or
 OWB-4.0.0-alpha1 due to the fact that  we intentionally do not implement all
 the spec. Which we btw never did in the past neither.
 The core parts of the CDI-4.0 spec are already implemented and we pass all of
 the TCK tests except the ones we challanged or intentionally do not address.

## Health:
 OWB is a stable project. With the work on CDI-4.0 the activity instantly
 came back to a good level.

## Activity:
 We (still) have discussions about how to proceed with the CDI-4.0 spec.
 The likely way is to not implement "CDI-light" in core OWB but to keep it
 totally pluggable. This is based on the fact that CDI-light is actually only
 adding parts which are fully optional and not making CDI more lightweight
 (rather the opposit).

## Issues:

## Activity:
 OWB is a stable project. There is a new CDI 4.0 spec around the corner
 This will see a move to the jakarta namespace is heavily tailored for Quarkus.
 It contains parts which I a few and others criticised as not necessary on a
 technical level but our arguments got largely ignored by the driving vendor.
 It's a bit frustrating tbh. Maybe we will implement this in a split out
 module to at least remain compatible with the spec, but it just bloats the
 spec without adding too much benefit. But then this is not really a problem
 of OWB but within the spec. Otoh not implementing it would mean to also
 affect other projects.

 (which we do not like at all).

## Activity:
 We've shipped a new bugfix release which also contains a few
 features to improve running on GraalVM and micro environments.
 We also improved eventing performance a bit.
 We go through a phase of not so many changes. The last
 official CDI spec release was quite some time ago and the new
 JakartaEE based spec is not yet around the corner.
 Given that fact the activity was really ok.
 We also have a GSoC project going on which looks promising.

 we also will see some fresh demand once (if) JakartaEE picks up speed.
 We also saw some PRs and people coming back to the project.

## Project Activity:
Project activity is fine. We became aware of yet another micro container
framework which uses Apache OpenWebBeans as CDI container core.
We continue with bug fixing and adoption to latest Java versions.
There was also a quite nice interaction with the Apache Aries team
regarding their OWB support for the osgi-cdi spec.

## Community Health:
From time to time new users pop up on our lists but there are no
new committers in sight right now. Otoh our active committer base
is really fine and active.

## Description:
 Apache OpenWebBeans is an ALv2-licensed implementations of the
 "Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform"
 specifications which are defined as JSR-299 (CDI-1.0), JSR-346
 (CDI-1.1 and CDI-1.2 MR) and JSR-365 (CDI-2.0).

 The OWB community also maintains  a small server as
 Apache Meecrowave subproject. Meecrowave bundles latest releases of
 the ASF projects Tocmat9 + OpenWebBeans + CXF + Johnzon + log4j2.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache OpenWebBeans was founded 2009-12-16 (10 years ago)
There are currently 20 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Reinhard Sandtner on 2017-10-09.
- No new committers. Last addition was John D. Ament on 2017-10-09.

## Project Activity:
We regularly get contributions from rather unexpected places.
Like the Jetty and Tomcat teams provided great feedback for
integrating OWB into their servlet engines.
We are right now preparing for a 2.0.12 release with bugfixes.

## Community Health:
Contributions are alright. Very ok-ish for such a mature project.
Otoh it's hard to attract new committers because of the complexity
of the topic.

## Issues:

## Activity:
 Activity did decline a bit, although still on a fine level.
 This is expected and completely ok as the CDI-2.0 spec was
 released quite some time ago and the project is mature and
 stable. Java11 fine tuning is ongoing.

## Health report:
 Contributions are fine. We now had some tomcat folks looking
 into OWB. There was a discussion on the tc mailing list re where
 some specific pieces would best be kept. Still waiting for an official
 OWB ticket though.

## Activity:
 Activity is fine. We fixed a few Java11 related issues.
 Next up is again looking a bit into performance.
 We are still fine, but probably could be even better.

## Health report:
 We got some contribution to our Meecrowave samples.
 Currently we are mostly in maintenance mode. Activity is
 fluctuating as most our contributors are involved in multiple
 ASF projects.

## Activity:
 We got slightly less activity this quarter but still shipped a few
 releases. We are currently preparing a maintenance release for
 OWB-1.7.x (EE7 level) and OWB-2.0.9. Both for improved Java11
 support.
 Please keep in mind that the CDI-2.0 spec is now almost 3 years old.
 So we are per definition in a maintenance mode.

## Health report:
 Community is doing fine. We get feedback and tickets from our own
 folks but also from random contributors.

## Activity:
 We fixed a lot of tickets we got as feedback from real production.
 We also continue pushing performance despite the fact that we are still
 a few times faster than other CDI containers.
 The new Oracle Java release cadence (half year updates to bytecode)
 causes quite some additional work.

## Health report:
 Community is doing fine. Small but active.
 Meecrowave sees some adoption and TomEE did some releases lately
 which both help with the adoption.

## Activity:
 We have been busy doing gradual updates and also did a released
 for EE7 for inclusion in the upcoming Apache TomEE-7.0.5 release.
 So we actually do a lot of work for the TomEE community as well.
 Via the Meecrowave users we also got a few bug reports for CXF
 which we forwarded resp shipped patches for.
 We now wait for this release to ship the next MW release.

## Health report:
 Health is ok for such an 'old' project. Otoh we are now almost
 10 years old and still have a lot of drive and there is no
 end in sight.

 Activity is fine. OWB core gets a few maintenance improvements.
 We also probably gonna ship another CDI-1.2 (OWB-1.7.x) maintenance release.
 Meecrowave is also doing fine. Got a lot of attraction lately.
 Mark Struberg presented Meecrowave and TomEE at the JavaLand Conference.
 We are currently evaluating the use of the OWASP maven plugin to check
 for CVE vulnerabilities. If it works out then the next step would be
 to check whether this could be provided via the apache-parent pom
 for other projects as well.

## Activity:
 We have finished implementing the CDI-2.0 (JSR-365)
 specification. The spec and TCK are available under ALv2 thanks to JBoss.
 We are now successfully passing the TCK and expect to ship an
 OWB-2.0.0 release this month.

 Apache Meecrowave (an OWB subproject) is also progressing fine.
 We will likely ship a new version this month as well.
 After OWB-2.0 is out we will also upgrade Meecrowvave to CDI-2.0.

## Health report:
 The community is small but quite healthy.
 We are always keeping our eyes open for new committers.
 New people keep popping up on our lists and ticket system
 but there is a rather big gap between using OWB and providing
 deep patches it seems.

 We released a few maintenance versions plus a small OpenWebBeans
 + Tomcat + CXF + Johnzon based Micro server called Apache Meecrowave.
 Aside from that it was a rather unhasty month.
 We expect high activity again when finally kicking off the work on
 CDI-2.0.
 We also supported the HotswapAgent community with creating ha-OWB support.
 This happened mostly on IRC. I would have preferred to channel this via
 the mailing list, but there was a lot of Questions back%&forth which
 was easier to do on IRC. I'll ask the involved guys to also create
 a bit of documentation on the mailing list and probably on our web
 page.

 and CDI-1.2 (MR) specifications (JSR-346).

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 Activity is ok.
 We started with a new subproject called Meecrowave. It is a mircroprofile
 server consisting of Tomcat9 + OpenWebBeans + CXF + Johnzon, all in 9MB.
 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openwebbeans/meecrowave/trunk/
 We decided to create an own subproject since we rely on other projects
 and thus we will see separate release cycles as from OWB core.

 We will also see a CDI-2.0 implementation effort soon as the spec
 (JSR-365, available under ALv2) is just about to get finished.

## Health report:
 Nothing special to report. We did not yet create separate tickets for
 Meecrowave as we did not yet have any release.

 Activity is really fine.
 We just did a release and are actively contributing to the upcoming

## Health report:
 The project is a container library which is stable and actively
 used and maintained. Due to the fact that most users are using
 OWB as part of another project (e.g. TomEE) we get much feedback
 in ‚indirect‘ ways.
 We are well staffed but are still actively looking for new
 contributors.

existing mainline.
A few OWB committers are actively contributing to the ALv2 licensed
CDI-2.0 specification.

## Health report:
The project is a container library which is stable and actively
used and maintained. Due to the fact that most users are using
OWB as part of another project (e.g. TomEE) we get much feedback
in ‚indirect‘ ways.
Note that the recent GoogVsOrcl case doesn’t affect OWB
as the CDI specification and TCK are both ALv2 licensed.

as there is a new CDI-2.0 specification and we would like to have the OWB
numbers align with the spec version.


Community

Community activity is fine. We are working towards CDI-1.2 and are already
passing more than 900 TCK tests.

A short note: this is part of JavaEE7 but we don't have any licensing issues

and is working on TCK issues.

OpenWebBeans is an ASL-licensed implementation of the JSR-299: Contexts and
Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform which is defined as JSR-299.

OpenWebBeans has graduated from the Incubator in 16, December 2009.

--Summary--

* OpenWebBeans core project's Java EE library dependencies
have been removed from it. All of the Java EE related capabilities
are provided via plugin model.
* Log4j library dependency has been removed from project, updated
for using standard Java logging.
* All of the specification requirements have been implemented.
* Hard working for passing Web Profile TCK.
* Problems with TCK has been issued to the TCK team.
* Web Profile TCK has been passed.
* Successfully integrated with Apache Tomcat 6.x.
* Successfully integrated with Embeddable OpenEJB in Apache Tomcat 6.x.

--Current Development Status--

* Working on minor bug-fixing.
* Working for releasing a 1.0.0-CR1.

--Future Development Plans--

* Release the 1.0.0-CR1 version.
* Starting to integrate with Geronimo Server.
* Working on JSR-299 TCK Full Profile.
* We have to provide some user guide documentation.

--New Releases--

* No new release.

-- Discussions--

* No discussions.

--Community--

* No new committers.
* Increasing on community support
* More involvement with dev@ mailing list

-- Problems

Integration with the Geronimo needs help from
the Geronimo Server team because integration with the full
Java EE server seems a more complicated than we think. Therefore
passing the full Java EE TCK may not be possible in near feature.

NOTE: In old reports we talked about standalone TCK. Actually
official TCK does provide Web Profile TCK and Full Profile
TCK. In old reports when we said standalone TCK, we removed
the Web Profile and Full Profile Tests from the configuration.
But now, we have passed the Web Profile TCK that also contains
the standalone tests. Therefore we do not mention about the
standalone TCK in this report.

--Community--

There were some discussions in the PMC-private about the new PMC
members of the OpenWebBeans (that were voted by OWB PPMC/community,
IPMC, and approved by the board) and about some of old incubator
committers current and future status.

PMC of the OWB has decided about issues as follows,

* Enable committer status of Matthias Wessendorf.

* Disable committer status of Mohammad Nour El-Din and email
 to him about fact. Because he expressed that he will not contribute
 more because of interests with other projects.

* Disable committer status of Conny Lundgren and email to
 him about fact. He has never participated in community. He
 was just proposed as an initial committer of the incubator project.

Shane to follow up on committer removals.

23 Sep 2009

OpenWebBeans is an ASL-licensed implementation of the JSR-299:
Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform which is defined
as JSR-299.

OpenWebBeans entered the incubator in October 26, 2008. The following
items have been made after the last report

* We cut a M3 release (under vote)
* We implemented a new spec. features, (Portable Extensions, and changed
 APIs)
* We created a JSR-330 API and integrated with it
* We integrated with embeddable OpenEJB in Tomcat to support EJB Beans
* We implemented 2 new samples related with EJB Beans and JMS Injections
* We started a progress to integrate OWB with Apache Geronimo

Belows are the next steps;

* We will release the M4 version.
* We will integrate with the Apache Geronimo

17 Jun 2009

OpenWebBeans will be an ASL-licensed implementation of the Contexts and
Dependency Injection for Java EE Specification which is defined as JSR-299.

OpenWebBeans entered the incubator in October 26, 2008. The following items
have been made after the last report

* We released the M2 version
* We created additional documentation in the wiki page
* We implemented full blown JSF + JPA + OWB application that shows usage of
the OpenWebBeans
* Gurkan Erdogdu replaces Matthias Wessendorf seat on the JSR-299 EG

Belows are the next steps;

* We will release the M3 version.
* We will create more documentation in the wiki
* We will continue to attract new committers into the project.

There are some concerns related with the specification and its
implementation,

 * JSR-299 specification has changed so much from the last draft. It has
been having a negative impact on the implementation.
 * Last draft specification has a tight integration with Java EE's other
specifications so that integration with an EJB, Servlet, Managed Beans etc.
with the OWB is unavoidable. So, we have to work closely with other Apache
Teams who have been implementing aforementioned specifications to fully
implement the JSR-299 and to pass TCK.
