Mahler E-Mail Address: rx9660 Telephone Number: +1 404 236 6920 Fax Number: +1 404 236 5949 Initial Expert Group Membership: Orange Supporting this JSR: Motorola Section 2: Request
2.1 Please describe the proposed Specification:This specification will define a high level, lightweight services and management framework API's that will provide Java ME (Connected Limited Device Configuration-CLDC and Connected Device Configuration-CDC) based devices the ability to manage long running applications and services. These services can be either elements with no user interfaces (traditional services/enablers) or elements with user interfaces (applications) that need to be managed either locally or remotely. This specification will provide API?s and will leverage and/or extend the existing life cycle management capabilities and programming model provided by the specific profiles and will be independent of specific underlying configurations. This capability will allow middleware providers the ability to manage their platforms as well as services and capabilities that attach or utilize their middleware. This specification will at a minimum provide the capabilities to:
In order to accelerate adoption and time to market this specification will align, and leverage existing specifications both inside the JCP as well as specifications being developed in the industry. 2.2 What is the target Java platform? (i.e., desktop, server, personal, embedded, card, etc.)The target Java platform is the Java ME. This optional package will run on both configurations CLDC and CDC and corresponding JME profiles: 2.3 The Executive Committees would like to ensure JSR submitters think about how their proposed technology relates to all of the Java platform editions. Please provide details here for which platform editions are being targeted by this JSR, and how this JSR has considered the relationship with the other platform editions.This API targets JME. 2.4 Should this JSR be voted on by both Executive Committees?No 2.5 What need of the Java community will be addressed by the proposed specification?Currently Java ME is lacking a Java API that allows a middleware provider the ability to manage the services that require, or are required by the middleware. This will become more critical as MIDP3 introduces the concept of services Liblets and long running services MIDLets. Several specifications are looking at solving parts of the requirements/problems. Where possible, this specification will leverage capabilities developed by other specifications such as, but limited to:
2.6 Why isn't this need met by existing specifications?With the impending release of MIDP3 and other previously released multi-threaded configurations/profiles, this specification will provide a light-weight services framework to provide high level services management. There is currently little or no standardized, Lightweight capabilities provided by Java ME that allows for the management of services in a standardized, and predictable manner. 2.7 Please give a short description of the underlying technology or technologies:Services API's
Specifically the services API?s that will allow for the run-time management of applications and services running as part of the container. Please refer to section 2.1 for proposed
Services Framework:
2.8 Is there a proposed package name for the API Specification? (i.e., javapi.something, org.something, etc.)javax.microedition. 2.9 Does the proposed specification have any dependencies on specific operating systems, CPUs, or I/O devices that you know of?No 2.10 Are there any security issues that cannot be addressed by the current security model?No 2.11 Are there any internationalization or localization issues?No 2.12 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete, deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?No 2.13 Please describe the anticipated schedule for the development of this specification.Expert Group Formation: Q4 2007 2.14 Please describe the anticipated working model for the Expert Group working on developing this specification.It is anticipated that a combination of email discussion, feedback on regular drafts, conference calls and face-to-face meetings will work well. 2.15 It is important to the success of the community and each JSR that the work of the Expert Group be handled in a manner which provides the community and the public with insight into the work the Expert Group is doing, and the decisions that the Expert Group has made. The Executive Committees would like to ensure Spec Leads understand the value of this transparency and ask that each JSR have an operating plan in place for how their JSR will address the involvement of the community and the public. Please provide your plan here, and refer to the Spec Lead Guide for a more detailed description and a set of example questions you may wish to answer in your plan.The expert group will remain open for new nominations until Early Draft Review (EDR). 2.16 Please describe how the RI and TCK will de delivered, i.e. as part of a profile or platform edition, or stand-alone, or both. Include version information for the profile or platform in your answer.Due to the optional package character of this request, RI and TCK will be delivered as standalone products. 2.17 Please state the rationale if previous versions are available stand-alone and you are now proposing in 2.13 to only deliver RI and TCK as part of a profile or platform edition (See sections 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 of the JCP 2 document).N/A 2.18 Please provide a description of the business terms for the Specification, RI and TCK that will apply when this JSR is final.These are initial commercial terms to be used and remain subject to the execution of final legal agreements covering the subject matter hereof.
RI and TCK will be licensed to all interested parties, TCK and RI will be licensed separately. For TCK we plan to introduce a single one time fee of max $50,000 and annual maintenance fee of max $20,000 for a term of three years. TCK will include both binary environment and source code of the test suite. Section 3: Contributions
3.1 Please list any existing documents, specifications, or implementations that describe the technology.
