 One of the things I like best about Maverick is that it is clearly

 neither Java, .NET, nor PHP want to address (for some reason). Many

 solves. But, Maverick has retained a very clear focus.

I couldn't agree with this more. Jeffs commitment to keeping the core of
the product focused on the key problem it is trying to solve is one of
Mavericks greatest strengths.

 There's another twist in there that you might like as well =;)
 
 I'm going to make in an optional compile, but the package also includes 
 a Maverick controller designed to work with both FormProc and the new 
 Commons Chain package in the Commons. This lets you specify the form to 
 validate and the business class to run all from the Maverick config. By 
 default, the name of the business command (or chain of business 
 commands) is the same as the form, but can also be different.

Is form proc available from cvs yet?

Re: [Mav-user] I18n/l10n

2003-09-24 Thread Kevin O'Neill

 It might be fun to setup a small library of some basic website styles 
 that other could crib. Like the starter templates that ship with things 
 like FrontPage and DreamWeaver. Header, Footer, Menu at the left. Menu 
 at the top and bottom, and so forth

I'm into that. I might even be able to help (should it be
required/desired).

Hi

i want to use mozilla/xul for a front-end. will this work fairly
seamlessly with maverick? sorry for the lack of information, but i am
bit new to all these technologies.
Well maverick can spit out xml so it can spit out xul pages. You may 
need to figure out how to sign the pages (if you need more than basic 
lists and want access to local resources etc). 
I've just finished converting a XUL application back to HTML. There are 
just too little documentation (unless you consider reading c++/IDL/js/
XUL good docs), and subtle changes in XUL bindings caused me all sorts 
of grief with different mozilla versions. If you do decide to use XUL I 
would start by creating a HTML front end. Then begin a transition to 
XUL.

[Mav-user] Re: simple views

2003-06-28 Thread Kevin O'Neill
 If my webapp uses templating, in similar fashion to the friendbook example to 
 define header / menus / footer and so on, is there a way to link to these 
 pages without defining a maverick command for each one?  For example, I have 
 several pages that don't use any model - they are only dynamic since parts of 
 the banner template are based on logged in status.  How do I put an anchor in 
 one JSP to link to another templated JSP without defining the page in 
 maverick.xml?

Have you tried using something like sitemesh? I've been using it for
successfully with maverick for some time.  

-k.

 Wouldn't this best be done as a Servlet Filter?  It seems like it would be

Nice idea. I'll have to take a look at servlet filters again to make sure
that you can modify the target servlet on the fly, but it sounds good and
it could be used in any servlet context. :)

Is maverick able to do the former. If not is anyone else interested in
adding a dispatcher subclass that allows this?
 
 I'm currently using a simple Dispatcher subclass that supports this by
 allowing you to specify mappings using a regex, e.g. you can match
 /app/users/* to the edit command by calling
 addCommandMatch(.*/app/users/.+, edit). Note that I don't use the .m
 extension for commands and have my servlet container setup to support this
 and I am also using REST [1] as the basis for my current project, so the
 dispatcher also adds the Http method to the name of the command i.e. doing
 an HTTP GET on /invoices/invoice01234 after an
 addCommandMatch(.*/invoice.+, invoice) will return a command name of
 GetInvoice and similarly an HTTP DELETE will result in a command of
 DeleteInvoice, etc..
 
 I'd be happy to let you have a copy of it (and its unit test) if you'd
 like, just drop me a line.

This sounds very interesting. I'd love to take a look.

-k.

 The output of an XSLTransform is usually text/xml, unless it is the last

The output of an XSLT can be almost anything text/html,
application/xml+html, image/svg, application/foo+bar. Wont we need some
