hello everybody,
this
weekend I will continue to work on the struts cartridge, there are some
important changes but I would like this opportunity to collect the final details
of the changes that will go into the next release
1. generation of
compilable JSPs
2. no more tagged values on dynamic model, only in static
model
3. form beans will also have an abstract parent class
I have been
working like a madman lately, also on a personal project, I am using this
cartridge and I found some interesting issues with the current cartridge, they
have been resolved in CVS (I think, not sure) but I now have the feeling
that the next release will be quite stable and intuitive ... user-friendlyness,
right ?
1. generation of compilable JSPs
this allows a generate and deploy strategy, although action classes still need to be implemented manually
the idea is to allow the user to change as little as possible
2. no more tagged values on dynamic model, only in static model
reason being the static model is closest to the implementation anyway, I like to keep the modeling of dynamic processes clean
3. form beans will also have an
abstract parent class
this allows to add optional XDoclet tags into the implementation class, eg. for validation
Please add your comments to this mail or something, or simply reply ... I will collect all feedback and take them into account during development
bye
Wouter.
