[ANNOUNCE] Tapestry 4.0-beta-1

2005-06-25 Thread Howard Lewis Ship
The first beta release of Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a
component based web application framework that provides lots of
functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment
that supports high levels of reuse. Tapestry 4.0 represents a
significant advance over Tapestry 3.0. A few of our favorite changes
in 4.0:

* The new 4.0 specification DTDs have been simplified.
* The syntax used for binding parameters inside an HTML template
and inside an XML specification is now consistent. Both make use of
the binding prefixes.
* Friendly URLs (that is, URLs that pack more information into
the path and less into query parameters) are built in. This makes it
easy to divide your application across many folders (reducing
clutter), and leverage J2EE declarative security along the way.
* Listener methods are much easier and more flexible; listener
parameters in the URL are automatically mapped to listener method
parameters, and listener methods can return the page name or page
instance to activate.
* Component parameters now just work, without having to worry
about direction.
* Applications can now have a global message catalog, in addition
to per-page and per-component message catalogs. Messages not found in
the component message catalog are searched for in the application
catalog.
* Full, native support for developing JSR-168 Portlets has been added.
* Tapestry 4.0 makes much less use of reflection and OGNL than
Tapestry 3.0; partly because there are many new binding prefixes and
largely because of how parameters are now implemented.
* HiveMind services and Spring beans to be directly injected into
page and component classes.
* Tapestry 4.0 includes optional JDK 1.5 annotation support (but
Tapestry still works with JDK 1.3).
* Tapestry 4.0 debuts a new and much more sophisticated user input
validation subsystem. Thanks Paul!
* Line precise error reporting can now display the contents of
files containing errors.
* Forms can now be canceled, bypassing client-side validation
logic, and invoking an alternate listener on the server-side.
* You are no longer limited to just Global and Visit; you can have
as many application state objects as you like.
* The use of HiveMind under the covers means that Tapestry can be
easily customized to fit your needs.
* Page properties can now be persisted on the client, as well as
in the session.
* Components and component parameters can now be marked as
deprecated. Component parameters may have aliases (used when renaming
a parameter).

The complete list of changes is almost too numerous to enumerate.
Suffice to say, everything is about getting more bang for the buck;
reducing the amount of Java code, reducing the complexity of
templates, and simplifying (or eliminating) XML files.

Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and
a seperate documentation distribution.

+1 for sandbox (non-binding)

Its slightly hard to imagine anything otherwise, but maybe I'm just
used to seeing how commons and taglibs work. If Taglibs join, we have
a bunch of Taglibs in sandbox, they will need to be housed somewhere,
and I don't see them migrating to commons sandbox ;-) Right?


Yes, +1 to a sandbox. Although it can create issues, I think has more 
benefits than downsides.

What is required to build this?  Am I correct in assuming the process is
like Tapestry 3.0, with non ASF libs being fetched by an ant script?  If
so, what really is the procedure for getting this beta working?

Name for commons-like area for web

2005-06-25 Thread Stephen Colebourne

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this

The current suggestions are:

 Commons Web
 Jakarta Web Parts for Java (JWP4J)
 Web App Commons
 Web App Components
 Web App Modules
 Web Bricks
 Web Commons
 Web Components
 Web Libs
 Web Parts
 Web Tools
 Weblets

Of these, WebParts has issues with Microsoft, so I would suggest we 
avoid it. Weblets was also used by IBM back in 2000, so could have issues.


The most obvious would be CommonsWeb or WebCommons, as the general user 
community could link the concept to commons easily enough. However, 
there is a danger that it could be confusing precisely because of that.


Thus, my current top three are:
- WebLibs
- WebCommons
- WebBricks
but I can still be persuaded.


We do need to decide this though. Only then can mailing list discussion 
move off jakarta general and coding get started.

As long as it is not under the

Commons.

I like Components the best (Jakarta Web Components).  Apparently so does 
Sun (e.g. SCWCD).


To me, Parts sounds like what I need when my car breaks down.

And brick reminds me of a funny insult that was going around the net for a

Hi!

 Web Commons
 Web Components

For me it depends how fine grained those components are.

Say, if there is a project which cummulates all filters for a servlet 
container I am for web commons as it might result in project sizes we 
have in commons.


If we manage (what I prefer) to have much much smaller parts say a 
filter component to handle access control based on the ip address with 
hosts allow/deny rules or another simple component to have 
commons-validator available as tags for jsf (yes I know there is shale) 
I am for web components.

I am +1 for web components too ... but just wanted to note that the
integration between JSF and Commons Validator in Shale is usable even
if you don't buy in to the rest of the Shale architecture -- it
doens't have any dependencies on the core Shale framework.  That kind
of independence is one of my goals for the Tiles integration in Shale
as well.

Except for the configuration interface (which is hooked in to the
configuration of Shale overall, but is easily separable), the same is
also true for the Dialogs part of Shale ... it has no runtime
dependencies on the Shale framework classes, only on the portable JSF
APIs.

Re: Name for commons-like area for web

2005-06-25 Thread Frank W. Zammetti
I found this comment interesting:

What about something less definite and more 'code word'?  What about not
having the word 'web'? 'Arctic' or 'Telsa' or something completely
meaningless but catchier than 'Web .*$

I think if a proper name is choosen along these lines, the result is
something better than the relatively pedestrian names currently being
bandied about (not that any of them are especially bad, just a little,
bland).

How about something like Webementals, fusing Web and Elementals
(signifying pieces that combine to form a larger whole)?

I think a code word-type name is more interesting and meorable (once a
person knows what its all about), but it should still have some connection
to what the project is all about.  The argument against of course is that
you won't know at a glance what its all about.  I think something clever
enough can overcome this and still be a bit more exciting.  Just my
opinion (who else' would it be?!?)

Hi Craig!

but just wanted to note that the
integration between JSF and Commons Validator in Shale is usable even
if you don't buy in to the rest of the Shale architecture


Yes, I know - I already use it that way (or better, I started to use it ;-).

However, even if shale-core is small, if we go the Web Components 
direction I think even the shale-core (if it were integrated into web 
components) needs to be broken into more pieces.

And yes, I would prefer it.

I think this is an important point. Even a project like (the great) 
Shale might be too big to be a web component.


This stuff can be reflected on the homepage by multiple projects where 
we have a set of committers like we have now, but this project has to 
release web components. Even if this project always releases all its 
web components at once (and thus all their jar files do have the same 
version number) it is possible for the user to pick its web component. 
The project is free to also provide a web component bundle.


This should avoid somethink like we see often with commons-collections 
which has been grown in a way where other projects decide to copy the 
one Collection class needet out of it and drop the rest. On every new 
release this has to be done again.
