[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.1.7 Released
Apache Cocoon 2.1.7 Released The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release of Apache Cocoon. This release is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, and builds/run under JDK 5.0. Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web RAD. Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where these components can be hooked together into pipelines without requiring further programming. We like to think at Cocoon as web glue for your web application development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides, improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts. The latest version is downloadable from http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.cgi (Please use the mirrors to download the release - it might take a little bit more time until the latest release is available on all mirrors, so give the mirrors some time - approx. 24h to update.) For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.1.7, please go to http://cocoon.apache.org. The Apache Cocoon Project Carsten Carsten Ziegeler Open Source Group, SN AG http://www.s-und-n.de http://www.osoco.org/weblogs/rael/ Changes with Apache Cocoon 2.1.7 *) Updated hsqldb to 1.7.3.3. [AG] *) Fix caching of i18n bundles with expires validities. [VG] *) Implemented error handling for the internal requests. Error handling for the internal requests configured using when attribute on the handle-errors element. Supported values are: external: This error handler should be used only on external requests (default); internal: This error handler should be used only on internal requests; always: This error handler can be used for all requests. Currently, if internal error handling is enabled, only inner most error handler will be used for errors which happened during internal pipeline processing. [VG] *) Sitemap now properly throws ResourceNotFound exception for not matched requests even if last pipeline marked as an internal pipeline. [VG] *) Sitemap handle-errors now reports an error if generator is missing, or if type attribute (deprecated) specified and generator is present. [VG] *) Updated quartz to 1.4.5, jcs to 1.2.5-dev-20050313. [AG] *) Refactored the Deprecation class: the forbidden-deprecation-level parameter in web.xml allows to raise deprecation exceptions depending on the log level. For example, DEBUG allows no deprecations (strict mode), and FATAL_ERROR allows all (tolerant mode). Default is ERROR, allowing messages up to WARN. [SW] *) A flowscript's file encoding can now be specified by a comment on the script's very first line, in the form // encoding = . Otherwise, the default platform encoding is used. [SW] *) Added QueryBean as a standalone block, copied over from 2.2.0. Removed the original from the Lucene Block. Stores Favourites using OJB in HSQLDB. [JQ] *) CForms: separate FormattingDateConvertor that uses java.text.SimpleDateFormat and Icu4jDateFormatter that uses ICU4J. There was previously an automatic switch to ICU4J if the library was present in the classpath, which sometimes caused some strange results are it behaves a bit differently. [SW] *) Tour block: fix shapes sample using if/else in flowscript instead of switch. [BD] *) Build: Added exclude.all.blocks and include.all.blocks properties to quickly toggle all blocks on or off. [VG] *) Updated antlr to 2.7.5, groovy to 1.0-beta-10, jetty to 4.2.23 [AG] *) OJB Block: Marked as stable. [VG] *) Make Cocoon compilable and buildable using JDK 5.0. [all] *) Remove scratchpad block - the scratchpad area is only available in trunk. [CZ] *) Deprecated Pizza compiler support in XSP. To be removed in Cocoon 2.2. [AG] *) CForms: JavaSelectionList implementations can now be Contextualizable and can build SelectionLists with XMLizable labels. [VG] *) Change the mime-type setting of a reader. See also bug #25121. [CZ] *) Fix thread safety problem in JXTemplateGenerator.setup() concerning template script reparsing. [LG] *) Polish i18n for CForms. [LG] *) OJB Block: Renamed JdoPMF component to JDO, OdmgImplementation to ODMG, and removed PBFactory component - please use OJB PersistenceFactory API directly. [VG] *) Runnable Manager: Fix bug preventing scheduling of two different jobs at the same time. [VG] *) Many changes in CForms block. Widgets: add Widget.getDefinition() to access the definition that was used to create the widget. make widget definitions immutable once setup. This is necessary with the previous change

[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.0.4 Release
] *) Fix issue with cross-platform uploads. Uploaded file's name converted to match destination platform's path separator. [VG] *) Absolute path now can be specified for work, cache, and upload directory. Read comments in web.xml, and verify your settings. [VG] *) Set URI resolver for XSLT handler every time time templates are used, because XSLT templates might reference disposed instance of XSLT processor. Fixes some NPEs in XSLT processor when templates cache is used. [VG] *) Fix sitemap reloading bug: When parent sitemap is modified, it is recompiled and reloaded. All sub-sitemaps of this sitemap also has to be reloaded because they have references to the parent sitemap's ComponentSelectors. This bug is the cause of some NPEs in the XSLT processor. [VG] *) Improve backward compatibility: FilePartFile needs toString() method to work with code written for Cocoon 2.0. [VG] *) AbstractServerPages used static fields for dependency tracking, which caused either non-modified XSPs to be recompiled, or modified XSPs not to be recompiled. [SW] *) SearchGenerator now includes field name=/ elements into hit/ element. These elements contain stored fields of a found Document, making it possible to provide additional info about document in the search result list (only when index created with some stored fields). [VG] *) In addition to attributes in same namespace with elements, link serializer reacts on non-namespaced attributes too. This allows processing of (strict) XHTML. [VG] *) Backport usage of InputModules to compiled sitemap. [CH] *) Sync modules and related components with HEAD. [CH] *) Added some more types understood by modular database actions. [CH] *) Request logicsheet: Fix session tags. [CH] *) Added some more InputModules. [CH] *) Changed existing OutputModules to not use : to separate key prefix from suffix if prefix is an empty string. [CH] *) Simple Formvalidation: FormValidatorAction sets attribute * to indicate overall validation status. Added SimpleFormTransformer that fills XHTML form fields with values from request parameters and allows conditional error tags depending on validation result. This removes the requirement for XSP. Changed ordering of error levels: notpresent (indicates that no validation result is present for this parameter) moves between ok and error. New error level maxerror used in conjunction with the transformer, is never set, used as upper bound. [CH] *) (Modular) DatabaseActions: select produced wrong result if no rows were found, query action returned broken result. [CH] *) ESQL: Allow arbitrary types for prepared and callable statements via dynamically loading classes like the SQLTransformer does. Is-null now uses dynamic colum specification. Fixed skip-row feature, which was off by one. Added tag to get connection meta data. [CH] *) Fixed NPE in the recycling phase of content aggregation. [CZ] *) Fixed bug in cocoon pseudo protocol involving aggregation of aggregated resources spanning several sitemaps. [VG] *) Conect to the XML:DB once, from the XMLDBSourceFactory. [VG] *) xsp-util:include-expr/ includes any object, converting it to string. [VG] *) XSP now verifies that value of attribute name on xsp:element does not contains ':'. To create namespaced elements, uri and prefix attributes must be used. [VG] *) Request, response, and session logicsheet were incorrectly returning result when as=xml is specified. [VG] *) XScript now has better variable management: variables of request, session, global, and page scope are stored not in the XScriptManager, but as request, session, context attributes, or as XSP page field (respectively). Chances of memory leaks are highly reduced. [VG] *) Include all warnings and errors reported by the XSLT engine into the TransformerException if transformation fails or terminated by the stylesheet. [VG] *) Update HSQLDB to version 1.7.0. Now it properly shuts down with Cocoon. [VG] *) All log messages from FOP now go into the logs instead of printing them to the screen. [CZ] *) Applied patch for MaybeUploadRequestFactoryImpl which sets the timeout for a session to infinite during an upload and restores it afterwards.

[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.0.3 Release
Apache Cocoon 2.0.3 Released The Apache Cocoon team is proud to announce the new release of Apache Cocoon. Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style. A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching top this all off and help you to create, deploy and maintain rock-solid XML server applications. Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved web model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs and ease production. In an era where services rather than software will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open standards. This release of Cocoon is a maintainance release focusing on improved performance, robustness and better documentation. See the following changes list for more information. For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.0.3, please go to http://xml.apache.org/cocoon Changes with Apache Cocoon 2.0.3 *) When Cocoon is built, the build system automatically detects the current jvm and builds a target for this virtual machine. This is eiter JVM 1.4 or JVM 1.2 upto 1.3. [CZ] *) Fixed current page indication in documentation menu (synced with HEAD). [KP] *) Internationalization and JSP samples are refactored. [KP] *) When building Cocoon it is required to set the targetted JVM (either 1.3 (means 1.3 or lower) or1.4. [CZ] *) Fix NullPointerException in Notifier. [VG] *) Multiple results seem not to be supported by some DBMSs (i.e. Oracle and Informix). Therefore this is made optional in ESQL. A new parameter (esql:allow-multiple-results) to esql:connection re-enables it. See EsqlConnection for details. [CH] *) Properly escape (national) characters included in element's attributes in XSP page. [VG] *) Addconnect-attempts and connect-waittime parameters to the SQLTransformer. Transformer tries toget a connection to the DB several times before returning anerror. [VG] *) Fix sitemap compilation error when matchers areused within view or resource. [VG] *) Fix sitemap compilation error when actions are used within view. [VG] *) TraxTransformer and XSLTProcessor components now correctly handle dependecies on imported (via xsl:include)XSLT stylesheets. [VG] *) Removed Java 1.3+ only method (URL.getPath()) from LinkStatusGenerator. [NKB] *) CocoonServletno longer builds its own classloader. Also, it no more sets the thread's context classloaderunless the init-classloader parameter is true. To have Cocoon use its own classloader, usethe ParanoidCocoonServlet. [SW] *) ResourceReader incorrectly advertised byte ranges support. [VG] *) Added a handle-exceptions init argument in web.xml, used by CocoonServlet for the exceptions that the core Cocoon class throws. If true or not set, this class will try to catch and handle all Cocoon exceptions. If false, it will rethrow them to the servlet container. [NKB] *) Changed the Notifier notify() methods to accept amimetype instead of returning it. There is no way in which this method could understand what mime/type to use from the notification info and the stream. It was added to the methodusing a ContentHandler, since it could output svg for example. The old methods were deprecated. [NKB] *) Fixed error reporting in CocoonServlet: stream is now closed at the end of the service method, the content-type is sent before sending the error and the notification messages are now more descriptive. [NKB] *) Support Parameterizable URLFactories. [VG] *) Fixed multipart request problems with IE6. [GF] *) Added ability to run Cocoon on Novell OS. [VG] *) Make the multipart/form-dataparser aware of the encoding used by the processed request. [SM] *) Added support for StreamGenerator to read from 'multipart/form-data' as well. [SM] *) Started new documents for Documentation To Do List and Documentation History of Changes. [DC] *) Fixed NPE in DefaultNotifyingBuilder. [GF] *) Fixed NPE in I18nTransformer. [GF] *) i18n transformer changed to useshorter syntax for number formatting. Now 'type' attribute with'number', 'currency' and 'percent' should be used instead of 'type' and 'sub-type'combination. [KP] *) New documents on databases and Cocoon, database actions and modules. [CH] *) Additional input modules: Date, Digest, ConstantString, Random, NullInput, Collection [CH] *) Sendmail logicsheet works again. [CH] *) Array support for original form validation and new constraint for strings: one-of listsall allowed values, separated by |s. List should start and end with |.

See the following changes list for more information. For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.0.2, please go to http://xml.apache.org/cocoon Changes with Apache Cocoon 2.0.2 *) New BootstrapServlet to allow Cocoon torun in non-compliant servlet engines that don't handle correctly servlet contexts. This servlet builds a class loader with the contents of WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib and manages resource resolution. [SW] *) Updated error reporting to add line, column and location attributes specified in SAXException and TransformerException. The error page in the webapp examples shows the new extra info. [NKB] *) Added new gump target to the build, to be used as a general test of Cocoon code. To be used by Gump. It calls docs, javadocs, test and package. Gump descriptor has been modified to use it; now we also have automatic javadoc creation. [NKB] *) cocoon.xconf is moved in WEB-INF for security reasons. The documentation has been updated to reflect the change. [NKB] *) Partial commit of new samples structure. Samples go in samples/ dir with theit own sitemap. All scratchpad samples that are in the samples/ subdir are copied in webapp samples automatically by installscratchpadwar target. [NKB] *) New set-content-length configuration for FOPSerializer to allow streaming of large PDFs (default is true for backwards compatibility). [SW] *) The docs now have svg stuff removed and these enhancements: menu items are in text, page title is in text, pages have new clean style courtesy of Stefano, added Stefano's explanation on how to write mails, the docs are generated with the TreeProcessor, the docs generation uses JispStore. [NKB] *) Added new targets: installwar asks for the directory in which to put the war and makes it. installscratchpadwar does the same but incudes scratchpad libs ans samples. [NKB] *) New POI HSSF Serializer; outputs to the .xls (not .xsl) file format. Added samples as legacy file format support. [NKB] *) New module structure for input, output, and database specifica in scratchpad. Thus it is possible to write generic components for one task and replace input and output dynamically. As an example a generic version of a WildcardMatcher is provided as well as a sample action that uses it. DatabaseActions in scratchpad use this structure as well. [CH] *) Moved ModularDatabase*Actions to new home in scratchpad and reworked them. They now use new module structure. For sample application, copy mod-db directory to cocoon/mount. [CH] *) Changed jdbc datasource to ResourceLimitingJdbcDataSource because it does not require to be able to contact the datasource on startup. Thus race condition with HSQLDB startup is eliminated. [CH] *) Added new Jisp based persistence cache, to improve (1) performance and (2) to solve the problem with long filenames on Windows OS flavours. [VG,GF] *) Removed explicit System.gc() call from StoreJanitor, because this caused performance leaks. [GF] *) Added support for input type=image buttons [TC] *) Deprecated the old cocoon-action=ACTION syntax in favor of the new cocoon-action-[ACTION]=whatever. Still supported though. [TC] *) Added encodeURL transformer for encoding URIs. [BH] *) Using migrated XPath Processor from Avalon Excalibur instead of own component. [CZ] *) Fixed endless loop bug in IncludeXMLConsumer. [CZ] *) Added xsp:page create-session= attribute now processed correctly, as described in the xsp-session logicsheet documentation. Variable 'session' declared and could be used in XSP page code. [VG] *) New implementation of the sitemap engine based on an evaluation tree. This provides super-fast load times (no more compilation), and a slight gain in request processing speed compared to the compiled engine thanks to the HotSpot VM. [SW] *) Added matchers:
FW: JDJ Readers Choice Awards Logo
Hi, I think this question belongs rather to this list. So, the question is: Does Apache allow to put the JDJ Logo on the xml.apache.org website (or only on the Cocoon website)?

[Announcement] Apache Cocoon 2.0.1 Release
Apache Cocoon 2.0.1 Released The Apache Cocoon team is proud to announce the new release of Apache Cocoon. This release has been tested thoroughly. Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style. A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching top this all off and help you to create, deploy and maintain rock-solid XML server applications. This release of Cocoon is a complete rewrite of the Cocoon XML publishing framework and removes all of those design constraints that emerged from the Cocoon 1 experience. Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved web model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs and ease production. In an era where services rather than software will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open standards.

Updating the website
Hi, I just updated the news section of xml.apache.org to reflect the latest cocoon release and was a little bit disappointed about our xml.apache.org website. It seems that especially the news section is not really used by the projects as concerning releases only cocoon and xerces are listed there. And the xerces entry is even old. So I would suggest that the projects update this section more regularly. In addition, the Project Status which fills the second half of the news page seems not appropriate at that place. As the index page already explains all projects, I think we should remove that section from the news. If you look at our brothers and sisters from jakarta.apache.org, they have some nice welcome and news pages. Now they even have some headlines on their welcome page. So let's see if we can make it even better as them! PS: This has nothing to do with layout, it has to do with content. And it has nothing to do with the format of the content (doctype, stylebook etc).

[Announcement] Apache Cocoon 2.0 Release
Apache Cocoon 2.0 Released -- The Apache Cocoon development community is very proud to announce the long-awaited first stable release of the next generation of Apache Cocoon. Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style.

This release of Cocoon is a complete rewrite of the first generation that removes all of those design constraints that emerged during almost three years of worldwide use. This release is considered stable in both implementation and on the API it provides: this means that the Apache Cocoon development community is now fully committed to preserve backwards compatibility with this release. We value the time and energy that our users will spend in order to deploy Cocoon technologies in their solutions and will make all possible effort to keep Cocoon a solid platform to work on.

[Announcement] Apache Cocoon 2 RC 2 Release
Apache Cocoon 2.0rc2 Released
-
The Apache Cocoon team is proud to announce the 4th release
of Apache Cocoon. This release has been tested thoroughly.
Apache Cocoon is a complete rewrite of the Cocoon XML publishing framework
that
is supposed to remove all those design constraints that emerged from the
Cocoon 1 experience.
The Apache Cocoon Project has gone a long way since its creation on
January 1999. It started as a simple servlet for static XSL styling and
became
more and more powerful as new features were added. Unfortunately, design
decisions made early in the project influenced its evolution. Today, some of
those constraints that shaped the project were modified as XML standards
have
evolved and solidified. For this reason, those design decisions need to be
reconsidered under this new light.
While Apache Cocoon started as a small step in the direction of a new
web publishing idea based on better design patterns and reviewed estimations
of management issues, the technology used was not mature enough for tools to
emerge. Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved
web
model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs and ease
production.
In an era where services rather than software will be key for
economic success, a better and less expensive model for web publishing will
be a winner, especially if based on open standards.

Changes with Apache Cocoon 2.0rc2
*) Deprecation of CodeFactory in preparation of the tree traversal
implementation of the sitemap. All factory-based matchers have been
rewritten using the new PreparableMatcher interface, and all factory-based
selectors have been rewritten as regular implementations of Selector. For
patterns whose syntax uses '{' like regexp, sitemap substitution can be
avoided by escaping the brace character (example : pat\{2}ern will match
pattern). [SW]
*) Reduce exception nesting in case of sitemap setup errors, and display all
nested exceptions in the error page (avoids searching the logs for the
failure cause). [SW]
*) Added attribute management methods to environment Context and its
implementations. [SW]
*) Updated TraxTransformer and XSLTProcessor to allow simultaneous use of
several TRAX processors (e.g. xalan and saxon) in a controlled way. [SW]
*) Updated session handling of commandline interface and fixed parameter
handling. [CZ]
*) Fixed missing prefix in elements generated by the directory and image
directory generator. [CZ]
*) Throw exception for internal requests instead of using the error handler
and fixed component handling in subsitemaps when invoked internally.
Components only defined in a subsitemap were not found as for internal
requests the parent component manager was used. [CZ]
*) When Cocoon is reloaded, the logkit configuration is now also reloading.
This enables changing the logkit settings during runtime. [CZ]
*) The documentation build system now uses Cocoon itself to generate the
html documentation. [CZ]
*) Applied NPE fix in certain conditions in ServerPagesGenerator. Submitted
by: Ovidiu Predescu [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Applied NPE fix for MRUMemoryStore Submitted by: Ovidiu Predescu
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Fixed (hopefully) dependency to the http environment in StreamGenerator.
[CZ]
*) Optional setting of the lexical-handler for XMLReader. This patch allows
to use Crimson instead of Xerces. Submitted by: Ovidiu Predescu
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Added xml compiler and interpreter to cocoon.xconf [CZ]
*) Applied Patch for entity catalogs: accept parameters from xconf.
Submitted by: David Crossley [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Applied fix for missing User-Agent header in BrowserSelectorFactory.
Submitted by: Joerg Henne [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Enhanced Command Line Interface by adding background attribute to
ExtendedXLinkPipe and fixing bugs: mailto:; and news:; are now ignored for
traversing and links containing anchors are handled properly [CZ]
*) Applied patch for default value support for RequestParamAction. Submitted
by: Sergio Carvalho [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [CZ]
*) Applied fix for a bug in the WriteDOMSessionTransformer for handling xml
documents with namespaces correctly. Submitted by: Greg Weinger
