1 tdb 1.2 Minutes of Meeting, 06/11/2000 @ 10:00
2     Location: UKC Computer Science Meeting Room
3    
4     Present: pjm2, tdb1
5     One hour Late: ajm4
6     Absent: ab11
7    
8     Absentee(s): Unable to attend due to illnes and bad meeting
9     planning by the group as a whole.
10    
11     The way in which CORBA will be sending information around
12     the server system was discussed.
13    
14     The filters will parse incoming XML sent via UDP and create
15     an XMLPacket object. These objects are used to convey each
16     host's information around the CORBA system. The object will
17     provide accessors to an array of parameter name/value pairs.
18    
19     ajm4 noted how drunk he had been over the weekend and
20     was surprised to find a lady in his bed when he got home.
21    
22     Strategies for configuration distribution were discussed.
23     The Logger class from last year's project is expected to
24     make a reappearance in this current project. The main
25     core of the server will have work put into it this week.
26    
27     For the timebeing, we shall only be sending XML data that
28     *does not* contain nested values.
29    
30    
31     Things that must be done before next Monday: -
32     (oh yes, we're starting to implement bits...)
33    
34     ab11: -
35     In this person's absence, it was decided that they may write
36     the test host application (in Java). This program shall
37     connect to a specified server and send arbitrary non-nested
38     XML data via UDP.
39     (As per the first XML example at minutes/minutes-20001101.txt)
40    
41     ajm4 and tdb1: -
42     Define a method of configuration distribution and produce
43     the core configurator. Adapt last year's Logger class as
44     appropriate.
45    
46     pjm2: -
47     Create the server's Filter class. This will accept incoming
48     UDP connections and parse the XML data received. Create a
49     separate XMLPacketMaker class to be used by Filter - this
50     will be used to create the XMLPacket object for each incoming
51     connection, providing a way of passing information about the
52     CORBA system. Complete as much of this as possible before
53     next Monday.
54    
55    
56     Meeting was concluded @ 13:00. Next meeting arranged for
57     Wednesday 8th November 14:00-17:00, directly after our
58 pjm2 1.1 meeting with iau at 13:30 that day.
