What does it mean ? I saw the 1.5 jmx stuff, but as usual this only works with 1.5 while most
people will keep using 1.3 or 1.4 for few years. I hope we're not falling
into the forced upgrade trap :-)
I agree in general. However, I've played with the beta, and it basically feels like 1.4.3, with the added language features. I didn't test the stability in production, of course, but it looks good so far. I do not think we'll end up in a situation like with Java 1.4 when:
- coders didn't want to use the new APIs since they weren't stable and tested (NIO)
- people didn't want to upgrade as the JVM itself wasn't stable
I agree that tomcat should't reinvent the wheel - but provide some mechanism
for 1.4, maybe similar ( or identical ) with what 1.5 provides. This would
also allow people with 1.3 or 1.4 to enjoy JMX now.
I'm talking about JMX remote here. AFAIK, no clients support it right now. JDK 1.5 will make it a standard in a hurry, given that you don't have to configure or add anything in the application itself. Given that there's already support for the other JMX remoting connectors in Tomcat, I don't see the need to add something which will only become used once JDK 1.5 is out. Now, if someone feels like adding it, I won't complain, but I won't do it myself ;)
