[coldspring-dev] Shortcuts for xml

[Chris Scott]

Yes! This (and a whole lot more) configuration style was added to Spring I think around 1.28 (there was a jump from .28 - 2.0, it wasn't really that long ago...), Dave, Adam Lehman and I are getting together in 3 weeks to do some heavy coding and roadmap planning for new features for 1.5 and on. New syntax additions will be a major topic of discussion.  If you are a contributing developer, let Dave or I (or this list) know if you are available to get some tickets assigned and join in the discussion as well. Just to give everyone a heads up, my feeling is 1.2 is feature complete in .svn, but waiting for a couple of issues to be closed, which I am hoping will be flushed out the end of November. I would like to have a solid roadmap for 1.5 set up and depending on developer availability, I think we should be targeting summer of 08 for that to be delivered.  Chris Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cdscott.blogspot.com/ http://www.coldspringframework.org/ On Nov 7, 2007, at 5:38 PM, Qasim Rasheed wrote: Folks, I was wondering if this is available in recent version of ColdSpring? If not is there a plan to add this feature. i.e. I know in spring you can do this <bean id="orderService" class ="com.OrderService">  <property name ="companyName" value="XYZ"/ >  <constructor-arg ref="orderDAO"/ > </bean> instead of <bean id= "orderService" class="com.OrderService">   <property name="companyName">   <value> XYZ</value>  </property>  <constructor-arg>   <ref bean="orderDAO">   </constructor-arg> </bean> Thanks -- Qasim Rasheed
