  1. Rice 2.0 An overview of changes

  2. Version change • Rice 1.1 is now Rice 2.0 • communicates the level of changes being made in the rice codebase

  3. unit/integration testing • all reusable unit testing components are in there own module (rice internal test tools) • they are internal - don't use these! • we don't want to make any guarantees about these APIs • previously these classes were in the rice impl module and were used by client apps • made unit testing frameworks dependencies of rice (which were automatically pushed on client apps) - htmlunit, junit, jetty • polluted the main codebase with test code

  4. unit/integration testing • all of our existing tests are isolated in a place for integration tests - b/c that is what they mostly are • located in a new test module • using the failsafe plugin to execute unit tests • some of this continues to change • ie. we might move these back to the modules under src/main/it after modularity work

  5. unit/integration testing • creating new real unit tests for each module • runs fast, isolated (tries to only test the class being targeted) • does not require spring, database, app server, etc. • trying to make it easier to unit test rice applications • no more inline service locator calls • more focus on DI - this is a tradeoff (slightly controversial and is a tradeoff) • kc is already doing this

  6. libraries • all libraries were updated to there latest version • struts, spring, cxf, dwr, hibernate, ojb :-), commons libs, etc. • possibly moving away from dead projects (xapool/jotm – peter?, oscache, displaytag) • jeelibs updated, minimum requirement is servlet 2.5 container

  7. modularity • each conceptual module of rice is broken up into multiple maven modules (jars, wars) • kim, kew, ken, ksb, kcb, core, krad standalone, sampleapp, internal test tools, client contrib, development tools • standalone - the rice standalone server • sampleapp - the travel app • internal test tools - test code used across modules for unit/int testing • client contrib - code we are giving back to client apps • development tools - tools used during development/implementation of rice (encryption data loading)

  8. modularity api framwork impl web

  9. modularity • why do this? • decrease the complexity of rice • isolate external dependencies • reduce coupling in rice • allow module of rice to be developed and tested in isolation • improve the quality of the rice codebase • make it explicit what code client apps can use • which helps rice make guarantees on releases • helps client apps ensure they make is easier to upgrade versions of rice

  10. modularity • almost all package names in rice are changing • packaging by feature rather than tier • ex: all Parameter related things are in a single package but is split across multiple modules • org.kuali.core.api.parameter, org.kuali.core.impl.parameter • this is hard and still a WIP

  11. codebase cleanup • delete dead code • ten versions of key/value pair • delete redundant code, code we don't want to support • utility classes (rice StringUtils) • RIA • deprecated code • unit/int test code that we no longer use - we had a ton of redundant code here

  12. version compatibility • rice is focusing on code quality/while balancing "just get it done" • taking a code first approach to service apis but delivering WSDLs at release time • apis will be defined and documented! • if I pass null to this service it does.... • this DTO must have field x, y, z set

  13. version compatibility • apis are being tested with unit tests • immutable objects are now passed/returned from remote service APIs • helps guarantee service contracts • helps build thread-safe code • important for caching • helps us add to service apis in a compatible manner

  14. version compatibility • using nested "builders" for complex objects • what's the point? • to allow a rice standalone server to be upgraded independently of client apps • to make sure our APIs are built such that implementers can "easily" create there own implementations • how do you do this now when behavior is not documented? • how do you know that your custom implementation will continue to work? • how do you implement complex methods like "lookup"?

  15. version compatibility • Standardizing the way to do lookups • Richer api (not, and, or, in like, etc) • No longer just a map • A more well defined api which hopefully means easier to ensure vc & alternative impls • Standardizing the way we do caching • Maybe Spring 3.1 + ehcache • Still a research topic

  16. Groovy • only used for BOs, EBOs, immutable service objects, unit tests • helps reduce the verbosity of certain parts of rice (ie. "just get it done") • groovy is maintained by SpringSource and has good integration with spring • awesome of unit testing especially when mocking objects, testing private methods • we are being very conservative with our use of Groovy • only using in certain code so that code could be reverted back to java if necessary

  17. KRAD • adding dependencies • Spring MVC (3.0) • Tiles 2.x • JQuery (core, ui, datatables (http://www.datatables.net/), fancybox (http://fancybox.net/), validation(client side validation), jstree (http://www.jstree.com/), watermarking, growl messages) • removing displaytag, dwr?, struts from maintenance framework) • most changes are happening in maintenance, lookup, multivalue lookup, inquiry framework • avoid overriding jsps, tag files, controllers

  18. KRAD • deprecating transdoc framework • removing the requirement that rice only works with BOs - rice can work with any POJO • service backed, DB backed, etc. • supporting a richer api • javascript is now a requirement, although still accessibility compliant • can embed javascript in maintenance pages • some html 5 support - still a research item • support more html wiget types • lightboxes, client-side validation, more validation types (cross field), must occur, etc.

  19. KRAD • will require changes to DD files - but migration scripts should be possible • the requirements are being driven partially by the kuali student project • KC's holding page enhancement - may want to work with the krad team on this

  20. For the CMs • using Maven 3 • may need to update Hudson/Jenkins to build with Maven 3 • rice is delivering multiple libraries • clients should only depend on api & framework modules at compile time • please tell us if you need something that is currently in impl/web • supporting Tomcat 6 & 7 - with a minimum requirement on tomcat 6 (servlet 2.5) • would encourage you to have a mixed environment with tomcat 6 & 7 to ensure compatibility • java 6

  21. Intellij • some rice devs are using intellij due to issues with eclipse (mainly m2eclipse)
