If anyone is feeling adventurous, try out the CVS version of Maverick. Heterogeneous transforms work great!
A *lot* of refactoring went into this, and not only is the new design quite a lot cleaner, but it added a bunch of "freebie" new features. For instance, the transform limiting parameter now works irrespective of what type of transform is there. You can now set params from your controller which are populated in views and transforms. You can define params in the maverick config file too, on all <controller>, <view> and and <transform> elements. Transforms can now act like stream filters - they can efficiently work character-by-character if somebody found a use for it. Maybe a regex transform... hmmm :-) There were a lot of changes, and they haven't been extensively tested, but both Friendbook and my in-development version of Similarity are happy with the new Maverick - both without any changes. I'll convert them over to use the newer ThrowawayBean2 controller base class later (the model() method is gone - just call getCtx().setModel(blah)). Give me another day to get the domify view and the dvsl transform to comply with the new interfaces, and get the documentation in line. Yes, we definitely want to put the FOP transform in an opt-fop package... Jim, would you like CVS access to maintain it? Maybe add a little documentation or a sample webapp? :-) I'll buy a beer for the person who comes up with the craziest set of real-world transformation steps :-) Jeff Schnitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Mav-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mav-user
