Thanks, Dirk!
I understand what you mean about the changes to the templates But the
templates are finally done. I don't expect them to change much more.
The most difficult work is behind us.
If ypu think it would speed things along, we could have a quick call
(iChat?) about the Javascript issues.

Andrew,
A bunch of javascript updates are waiting for check-in.
The speed at which the template is changing is hard to follow ;-)
Currently, I'm blocked with deploy issues -- hope this can be fixed
soon.
JSPWIKI-382 can be closed soon: posteditor.js is already not used
anymore;
but the new plain editor is still buggy.

Harry, thanks for the kind words!
The first two issues are good ones that we should fix. +1. Good
catch! Note
that the JSON search needs to be rewired to use the Stripes calls.
Ultimately we want to get rid of the JSON bridge and just call the
event
URLs directly.
Not sure we need to do web unit tests just yet. Definitely for beta
though!

Andrew,
first I want to express my appreciation for the huge contribution
you've
made, we should have more people on the team like you.
Now the issues, I can agree on all 6 issues, and want to suggest
we add
the
following to them assuming we want an Alpha JSPWiki that works for
basic
functions like page editing, saving, and so on.
- There is still the "page edit concatenation" problem (no JIRA
issue yet,
but I can create one)
- JSPWIKI-510 - SearchManager.JSONSearch.findPages() does not
honor ACLs
(security is important for the ASF and for ourselves)
- not quite sure if we should also first try to get the webtests
(Selenium
or an alternative?) up and running
One of the things I can help with is fixing the unit tests I think.
regards,
Harry

Hi everybody,
If you've been paying close attention to my recent commits ---
and I
*know* you have :) --- you know that I've been putting a lot of
energy
around re-working the JSPs. As of last night's checkins, I feel
that
most of the goals I set for the 3.0 view layer have been achieved.
Scriptlet code has been moved into the ActionBeans, markup has been
"modernized" with JSTL, and the top-level JSPs have been folded
into
the template JSPs. The net result is a set of JSPs that are
slimmer,
simpler and better organized. A few stray bugs (notably: JavaScript
and a few URLBinding issues) remain, but the hard work is done.
It is time to turn our sights towards getting an Alpha build out
the
door. Here are the current blockers as listed in JIRA:
1. JSPWIKI-303 JSPWiki-API library creation.
2. JSPWIKI-421 JCR backend
3. JSPWIKI-382 Remove posteditor.js
We should make some decisions soon about whether these are really
blockers or not, and figure out what we need to do to close them if
they are.
I'd also propose solving three more issues before we can declare
Alpha:
4. Clean unit tests. We still have about 30 renaming,
ReferenceManager
and related plugin tests that are failing. I *think* they might be
related to a recent Priha vintage. The build should run clean
before
we release an Alpha.
5. URLConstructors. With the physical top-level JSPs gone, we now
rely
on Stripes URLBindings to map incoming *.jsp resquests to
ActionBean
event. We should do the same for outgoing URL **generation** by
making
StripesURLConstructor the default. While we're at it, we should
kill
the other URLConstructors, because FileBasedActionResolver will
allow
URLBindings to be externally defined. For backwards compatibility,
ShortUrlRedirectFilter allows legacy short URLs to be safely
intercepted and redirected.
6. Refactor WikiBackgroundThread abstract class as JMX timer
MBeans.
This would eliminate our somewhat unreliable timer implementation.
Today, background threads don't kill themselves reliably. I take
full
responsibility for this, but I also can't fix it easily, and would
rather do it through JMX.
I can do 5 and 6 fairly quickly if we agree to do them.
Are these good priorities for Alpha? What else are we missing?
Andrew
