Re: [VOTE] Release VelocityTools 2.0-beta3

2008-11-30 Thread Nathan Bubna
Thanks, Will.  I actually feel like Adrian (or someone) reported this
too, but i forgot about it, since it's been working fine for me.
Well, i'll scrap this one and try to fix that.  I guess this won't be
going out in the same site update as Velocity Engine 1.6.

Ok, given Will's feedback during the vote, i've updated the
download.xml file to hopefully fix these problems.  An update test
build is available here:

http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/velocity/tools/2.0-beta3/

If you already tried it out, please re-try building from the packaged
source.  And please do so before Wednesday morning, as i currently
plan to call for a new vote then.  Thanks!

[jira] Created: (VELTOOLS-110) An OGNL Tool, perhaps

2008-11-30 Thread Ezra Epstein (JIRA)
An OGNL Tool, perhaps
-

 Key: VELTOOLS-110
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-110
 Project: Velocity Tools
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: GenericTools
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Ezra Epstein
Priority: Minor
 Fix For: 2.0


I've been using a combination of the Velocity Tools and it occurred to me that 
much of the functionality is available via OGNL and so I was thinking about 
writing an OGNL tool.  Then it occurred to me that, perhaps, the V-Tools team 
hadn't yet checked out OGNL, so I'm dropping this note to mention it.  Do check 
it out.  OGNL with the V Context as the root this node, would be a very 
powerful tool.

While on the subject of integrating with other things, I always wondered why 
the VelocityContext doesn't implement the java.util.Map interface.  I know 
that's part of the Velocity project not tools, but it's a curiosity for me.

[jira] Updated: (VELTOOLS-110) An OGNL Tool, perhaps

Nathan Bubna updated VELTOOLS-110:
--

Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0)

I know a bit about OGNL, but what i know leads me to see it as more similar to 
Velocity itself than to the Tools used within Velocity.  Do you have examples 
of how you would use it within Velocity?  Or how an OGNLTool would be used?

As to why VelocityContext doesn't implement Map, it just doesn't appear to be 
an itch that anyone has yet found necessary to scratch.  If it itches you, feel 
free to post a patch to Velocity Engine's JIRA or open a thread on the dev list 
or something.

 An OGNL Tool, perhaps

 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-110
 Project: Velocity Tools
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: GenericTools
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Ezra Epstein
Priority: Minor

 I've been using a combination of the Velocity Tools and it occurred to me 
 that much of the functionality is available via OGNL and so I was thinking 
 about writing an OGNL tool.  Then it occurred to me that, perhaps, the 
 V-Tools team hadn't yet checked out OGNL, so I'm dropping this note to 
 mention it.  Do check it out.  OGNL with the V Context as the root this 
 node, would be a very powerful tool.
 While on the subject of integrating with other things, I always wondered why 
 the VelocityContext doesn't implement the java.util.Map interface.  I know 
 that's part of the Velocity project not tools, but it's a curiosity for me.

 ] 

Ezra Epstein commented on VELTOOLS-110:
---

OGNL wouldn't do any of the template combination, and parsing.  But it does do 
object-graph navigation, which, of course, Velocity does to some extent.  But 
OGNL opens up a world of goodies.  You can access ANY class loaded in the JVM 
and its static methods and fields, no need to configure a ClassTool per class.  
OGNL can do projection across collections, it supports the ternary operator, 
built-in, also supports math and other operators - no need to use the #set 
directive, nor the MathTool.  So you can combine everything in one very 
naturally: that is, the syntax reads like Java syntax, including access to 
array elements by index.  In short it combines the features of quite a few 
tools with a few of the features of Velocity.  

http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/index.html 

to your point about the overlap, I think the two are mutually supportive 
frameworks.  Yes, one could, I suppose, write a version of Velocity that 
directly leverages OGNL internally, but that would still mean all the template 
parsing, etc. would be needed on top of OGNL.  The only caveat I've heard about 
OGNL is that some other approaches run faster.  But then if it's a tool, it's 
the template author's choice to use it or not.  One project that uses OGNL 
extensively is Tapestry.  See the 4.x version.

Resolution: Won't Fix

Yeah, that fits with what i've heard.  I don't we're likely to ever include 
such a thing in the core engine.  And i don't think it would actually be a 
better thing to have an omnibus tool that does a bunch of different things.  
Most people don't need to use all the functions of a bunch of different tools.  
Better to keep it piecemeal for performance and flexibility.  Still, if you 
make such a tool, it'd be great if you were willing to share it.  Our wiki is 
always available for such things!  I'm still curious, at least.

 I've been using a combination of the Velocity Tools and it occurred to me 
 that much of the functionality is available via OGNL and so I was thinking 
 about writing an OGNL tool.  Then it occurred to me that, perhaps, the 
 V-Tools team hadn't yet checked out OGNL, so I'm dropping this note to 
 mention it.  Do check it out.  OGNL with the V Context as the root this 
 node, would be a very powerful tool.
 While on the subject of integrating with other things, I always wondered why 
 the VelocityContext doesn't implement the java.util.Map interface.  I know 
 that's part of the Velocity project not tools, but it's a curiosity for me.

[jira] Commented: (VELTOOLS-110) An OGNL Tool, perhaps

There is another project which is similar with OGNL, but it seems it performs 
better : http://mvel.codehaus.org/Home

However, the main purpose of those libraries is to provide an expression 
language library and not a template library. Most of the time it is used to 
evaluate dynamically expressions and return a value(object) and not to generate 
content. Even if they will provide in the end a template functionality on top 
of their expression language evaluator, it is not a project dedicated to 
provide a template engine and only that. Sooner or later these projects may 
take a turn and drop/change/deprecate their support for the template engine. I 
agree, Velocity could borrow some of their functionality, but I don't think it 
makes sense to merge a tool like Velocity(a template engine) with a tool like 
OGNL or MVL(expression language). 

MVEL is a powerful expression language for Java-based applications. It 
provides a plethora of features and is suited for everything from the smallest 
property binding and extraction, to full blown scripts

OGNL stands for Object-Graph Navigation Language; it is an expression language 
for getting and setting properties of Java objects. You use the same expression 
for both getting and setting the value of a property. 

 An OGNL Tool, perhaps
