Java Architecture for Infrastructure Services
Team Name: Java Architecture
Project Leader: Scott Thorne
Report Date: 5/9/2002
Submitted by: Chuck Shubert
Accomplishments:
In April more of the OKI Common Services APIs and Implementations were
published on the web site.
We delivered an initial API and Implementation of MITID for evaluation.
This version supports Kerberos4 and the existing MITID communications
protocol.
We hosted Jim Blair from UNCS who was in residence working on several
OKI APIs. We expect to be working with Jim on several OKI tasks over the
coming months.
We presented OKI to several audiences both inside and outside the MIT
community. The outside audiences included IMS (a standards body), Coeus,
and essentially all the major educational software vendors. We are
working with most of these folks to incorporate elements of OKI into
their products and adjust OKI to work with their products..
Goals:
There continues to be a considerable amount of documentation, sample
code, and test code to write.
In May we will shift our development focus to emphasize utilizing OKI
Common Services in demonstration applications. This will provide both
example implementations and an active testbed for the OKI Common
Services.
We will host Gavin Eadie from the University of Michigan and collaborate
with him on the development of a reference implementation of the OKI
Common Services database connectivity API.
Issues:
Structuring OKI work in anticipation of additional development
help coming from our OKI partners continues to require attention.
Key learnings:
Earlier lessons have been reinforced.
Team Dynamics:
The OKI team continues to work hard. There continues to be a lot to do.
