Robert Liguori commented on XMLBEANS-463: ----------------------------------------- Test in the tutorial reads: Here's a full version of the POUpdater class, with the addLineItem method accessible via a main method. ... import org.apache.easypo.*; As this doesn't compile, it should read: Here's a full version of the POUpdater class, with the addLineItem method accessible via a main method. ... import org.openuri.easypo.*; That is, "import org.apache.easypo.*;" should read "import org.openuri.easypo.*;" Actually, it's a best practice if the imports spelled out the exact class names, and not use a wildcard. > Improve the "First Steps with XMLBeans" tutorial > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XMLBEANS-463 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-463 > Project: XMLBeans > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Tutorial: First Steps with XMLBeans > http://xmlbeans.apache.org/documentation/tutorial_getstarted.html > Reporter: Robert Liguori > Priority: Minor > > Tutorial: First Steps with XMLBeans > http://xmlbeans.apache.org/documentation/tutorial_getstarted.html > I have found several issues with the tutorial, as well as some functional > issues.... below are my initial comments to the tutorial: > ============================================== > The opening introduction states, "you'll get a hands on view of two of the > three technologies that make up version 1 of XMLBeans:". Rather than leaving > the reader wondering what the third uncovered technology is, it would be nice > to at least mention it. Note: From the main page of the web site, "I believe > it's Support for XML DOM". > Note: I just noticed that the third option is covered a little deeper into > the tutorial... but it still may be beneficial to mention it upfront. > ============================================== > The tutorial reads: > "To get started, you'll need the following: > * JDK 1.4 for version 1 XMLBeans releases." > Observation: Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v 1.4.2 has been > end-of-service life since 2008. I believe 1.5 is also. Since JDK 1.7 was > just released and the industry standard up to now has been JDK 1.6, I think > the documentation and testing and deployment of the product, in general, > should reflect this. > ============================================== > The tutorial reads: > "To get started, you'll need the following: > ... > * An XMLBeans version 1 installation. ..." > Observation: The target here should be a version 2 installation. > ============================================== > The tutorial states references, "xpretty schemas\easypo\easypo.xsd". > However, there is no "easypo" directory in version 2.5.0. > Therefore, the tutorial should reference, "xpretty schemas\easypo.xsd" > ============================================== > The tutorial states: > "scomp -out tutorials\gettingstarted\lib\easypo.jar schemas\easypo\easypo.xsd" > However, there is no easy po directory in version 2.5.0 so it should read: > "scomp -out tutorials\gettingstarted\lib\easypo.jar schemas\easypo\easypo.xsd" > *** There's an error with this too, as it's trying to run the javac compiler > from the xmlbeans-2.5.0 folder. > The fix for this is: > "scomp -compiler %JDK_HOME%\bin\javac.exe -out > tutorials\gettingstarted\lib\easypo.jar schemas\easypo\easypo.xsd" > There's a problem here too, if Java is installed in a directory with a space > (e.g., "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26"). That is moving the install to > "C:\jdk1.6.0_26" works fine. This is a problem as the space should be > handled. > Note: Double clicking on the generate JAR file (to see the contents) display > a dialog box with the following message, "Invalid or corrupt jarfile". > ============================================================== > Additional comments will be added to the JIRA issue, until the review is > completed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
