These are all great ideas for the site. This week and next I will be polishing the site, and getting as much content as I can "up and live". If anyone out there wants to contribute samples blurbs/descriptions, please send them along.
(Ken, I probably won't have time to implement your tutorial suggestion before ApacheCon.) -Steve H. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Tam Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 10:32 PM To: Steve Hanson; Hoi Lam Cc: Beehive Developers Subject: Alpha docs suggestions Hey Steve, Just had some thoughts on things that could be useful to the alpha docs.. 1) Mentioning the "control project" model for using controls (perhaps as a 2nd controls tutorial?) -- ie, using the controls-blank template to create a controls JAR that is then importable in multiple webapps (WEB-INF/lib), and using this to help isolate business logic in controls from presentation logic in the webapp proper. 2) Call out the database control as an example of a reasonably rich control that does something useful and demonstrates how to use things like properties, events and resource management. Hoi, maybe you could provide some help for Steve here? 3) Call out the usage of the database control in the AddressBookWS sample docs/description -- ie, it's intended to demonstrate both web services AND use of controls.
