This is a wish-list, not a list of committed plans. As time goes by, these will be prioritized, and the less important features dropped. If you absolutely must have a feature, please tell us, preferably on the mailing list so other Resin users can chime in or disagree.

Resin 1.2 Priorities

Distributed Sessions

This is the highest priority for Resin 1.2. The goal is to have at least the capabilities of WebLogic.

Multipart/mime

The main reason for multipart/mime is actually better i18n form handling. File upload support is just gravy.

Hot Deployment and Management

  • Automatic detection of resin.conf changes by mod_caucho.
  • Some sort of distributed management support (this may be packaged separately.)
  • A limited configuration GUI for beginners and simple servlet changes (again, this will probably be packaged separately.)

Performance

Tiny, fast, custom caching web server proxy. This should be significantly faster than the Apache/Resin configuration and easier to administer.

JavaScript

The JavaScript 2.0 spec will not be finished in time for the 1.2 release, but some of the more important features are starting to settle down.

Most importantly, the class definitions seem pretty solid. Some small changes will be needed to bring Resin's classes in line with the spec.

Also, the spec drafts seem to allow for some stunning performance improvements that should be possible to implement in 1.2. In several cases, near-Java performance may be possible.

1.2 possibilities

WebDAV

WebDAV extends HTTP to a full-fledged filesystem protocol. With WebDAV, you can publish a site without having to use ftp.

My understanding is that IE 5.0 and FrontPage 2000 already support WebDav. Unfortunately, emacs doesn't yet.

The VFS implementation of the http: scheme will also be upgraded to understand WebDAV.
