Ate has shown the daily commitment and enthusiasm which I believe has earned him the right to become a member of the team.
Over the last few months, I have worked with Ate on a daily basis on Jetspeed-2, often until the wee hours of the Dutch mornings.
He has been sending almost daily patches to me for over a month now, and has been key to finding and often fixing complex bugs,
developing core frameworks (Struts Portlet Framework), and developing core features (Login Portlet and Active Authentication).
Here is a summary of the contributions made by Ate to Jetspeed-2:
**** Delivered new features to J2 ****
- JS2-15 Struts Portlet Framework including demo StrutsPortlet.
Enables usage of Struts for portlet development.- Active authentication
New Login implementation using declarative web security transparently
usable from any page.
**** Lots of testing with several bug reports, fixes and patches *****
- JS2-4: ActionURL parameters not accessible: wrongly encoded.
Supplied the cause and solution- JS2-5: portlet render called twice after an actionRequest
Supplied the patch- JS2-6: PageAggregation with STRATEGY_SEQUENTIAL broken.
Only reported it- JS2-7: o.a.j.aggregator.impl.HttpBufferedResponse.getOutputStream()
wraps the wrong writer.
Supplied the patch- JS2-9: Caching of portal parameters
o.a.j.engine.servlet.ServletRequestImpl.getParameterMap() prevents
subsequent RequestDispatcher invocation query string parameter merging.
Deep investigation of the problem and options for a solution. Not
solved yet but a possible solution is implemented in the Struts Portlet
Framework.
- JS2-10: ClassCastException in
o.a.j.engine.servlets.ServletRequestImpl.getParameter(String).
Supplied the patch
- JS2-11: Offline (Maven -o) usage of o.a.j.tools.pamanager.DeployUtilities.
Supplied the patch
- JS2-14: Base tag usage in portal layout breaks anchor references in
portlet output.
Supplied the cause and solution- JS2-17: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException during parallel
Portlet rendering.
Supplied the cause. Not solved yet.- JS2-18: Cannot run J2 using Oracle due to problems with OBJ, Torque
and dependencies on HSQLDB.
Supplied a complete investigation of issues needed to fix and several
patches to allow building against externally defined databases. Helped
out on finding and testing corrections to OJB and Torque.
- JS2-19: TestFileCache always failing if it failed before.
Supplied the patch.- Investigated and tested JAAS authentication using RdbmsLoginModule. Reported back still open issues.
**** Suggested a few new features and missing requirements initiated with on the dev list ****
