I believe they also tried to make a JSR out of it, but got shot down
somewhere in the middle... :-(

What do you expect from idiots who think naming api's JAX[letter] is a
good idea?  (JAXM/JAXP/JAXB/JAXC/etc... I'm sorry but that is just
really really stupid sick and befuddled!  BAD BAD BADAnd this is

Geir and I approached the JCP about creating a JSR for a Java Template
Language (see enclosed) and even had a number assigned to track it (I
forget which number now).

However, after battling some ASF people (ahem Craig) who didn't want to see
the ASF support such a useful thing (Craig is afraid that Velocity might
actually beat the shit out of his companies JSP) as well as discussions with
clueless JCP EC members who couldn't tell the difference between Velocity
and JSP (Hello! Ever tried to use JSP outside of a web request??); Geir
and I decided to remove our proposal. On top of it, this was right when the
ASF was in the heated battle with the JCP to get what we wanted in terms of
licensing so the timing was off anyway.

In the end, I think the JCP is a miserable failure anyway. Sun's stock isn't
worth anything http://chart.yahoo.com/c/0b/s/sunw.gif and the JCP is still
weighed down with a minimal support staff and a load of bullshit politics
which only make the lawyers rich.

Imho, Velocity is as much of a standard as JSP is and doesn't need the JCP
to 'approve' it.

proposed Specification:/H4

 P
We intend to propose a standard Java Template 
Language which is
based upon the Apache Jakarta Velocity project as the reference
 
   implementation. Here is a description of Velocity:
 /P

 P
Velocity is a 
Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use
the simple yet powerful 
template language to reference objects
defined in Java code. It also defines a 
minimal set of directives
that control basic logic, variables and basic looping 
constructs.
 /P
   
 P
When Velocity is used for web development, Web 
designers can work in
parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites 
according to the
Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page 
designers
can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers
can focus solely on writing top-notch code.
 /P

 P
  Velocity has been 
successfully used to solve many problems in textual
  processing and data output in 
Java. These solutions include source
  code (Java, C, etc) and SQL code generation, 
XML document
  transformation in conjunction with and in place of XSLT, and web page
  
generation in the Java servlet environment. Velocity is also included
  in 
GentleWare's Poseidon for UML Community Edition as the template
  tool for dynamic 
generation of Java code from UML.
 /P

 P
For more information on Velocity, 
please visit the a
href=http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/;website/a which
  
  contains full documentation and download the release.

Struts and Tomcat 4.0

2002-10-08 Thread amar bhatt

Hello ,
we have developed a web site in which we have implemented struts for 
designing the page , this works fine on Apache and jsp engine from 
oracle (9ias) 

but we now have to move the web site to apache and tomcat environment. 
the jsp pages are compiling fine on this env. but only the header part 
of the jsp is displayed. The operating system is sun .

the struts.jar are present tomcat lib directories.
tlds are present in WEB-INF directory and web.xml is also present.

does anyone knows why this is happining


thanking you

If only you had used Velocity (which is also FAR more portable than JSP as
you don't have to work around bugs or design decisions in each individual
container)...only one implementation of Velocity will ever be needed...

Re: Struts and Tomcat 4.0

2002-10-08 Thread Andrew C. Oliver

I think my next hack'd app will be in Velocity rather than JSP.  As I
learn more about it I think I find it less disgusting than JSP. 
(Although I still don't like it for the previously mentioned reasons)

Even if it ties me to an Apache-proprietary template language, trading
that for something less disgusting than JSP seems preferable. 

Still I don't find myself very enthusiastic about it.. . (What sucks
less instead of what is good)

I still think Cocoon has the most potential of the bunch...  It just
needs to be refactored...heavily(and me without my chainsaw).  Not
sure if this will happen...it smells of an app with too many cooks in
the kitchen.
