 ActionErrors.isEmpty() was working fine with the Struts RC1 binary. Have
 anyone encountered the same problem or am I missing something?
 

I'd have to say that you are missing something. :)
Did you rebuild your project after adding in the new Struts files?

I usually just copy/replace the pertinent Struts files (actually using the 
system explorer) from the downloaded binaries, then refresh my project in 
WSAD, then rebuild the project. This process has worked well for me.

Susan,

Thanks for the reply.  I discovered that somehow after copying the files to
WSAD, my classpath was changed.  Anyway, the problem has been solved.

Thanks again.

Struts 1.1 release

2002-11-06 Thread Adolfo Miguelez

Sorry for the probably, better sure, stupid question, but I have seen an 
email from Craig saying that Struts 1.1 would be released at Idus of March 
and a :-) icon after.

For the non-English speakers, and do not laught of us, please:
was he joking?

We can not understand the nounce of the expression, and it is important for 
our future planning.

We would appreciate you save a set of messages paraphrasing this question.

RE: Struts 1.1 release

2002-11-06 Thread Andrew Hill
Yep. It was a joke.(I hope!)

March is quite a long time from now, and I think they dont have all that
many bugs left to correct (you can see the list of open bugs in Bugzilla (if
you can figure out how to search the darn thing effectively!)) so with luck
it would be ready sometime before then? (Thats just my guess though and Im
not on the dev team so I could be completely wrong!)

The ides of march was the date on which Julius Ceasar was assasinated by his
mates in the senate (all honourable men). He had (according to Shakespeares
play about it) been warned by a soothsayer to beware the ides of march - a
phrase well known to this day...

 Because of all these having been incorporated, I think Struts is now way

 Well, a little perspective is necessary here -- Tiles and Validator
 have been in the 1.1 mix since well before 1.1.b2.  I do believe that
 the EL taglibs were added after 1.1b2, so maybe there's a bit of
 feature creep -- but they seem real handy if you have the liberty of
 using JSP 1.2 (wish I did...)

Don't get me wrong: I'm definitely not complaining about those features
being added. I think they're great! And because it's all contributed stuff,
it's not like it's taking up valuable development time that would otherwise
have been spent on improving the core. My only point is that Struts is doing
itself a disservice with it's current release numbering.

I'm fortunate in that my company has the good sense to use 1.1 despite the
fact that it's still called a beta; it seems that other readers of this list
are not so fortunate. But it would be a very hard sell to convince our
clients to let us use a nightly build of _anything_ in their applications.
Maybe it's just about time to flag a (stable) nightly build as beta 3?

 I definitely agree that this would be useful. I would prefer it to go
 slightly further though, into being a milestone plan along the same lines
as
 the one Mozilla has (i.e. to set out the features and bug fixes that are
 targetted for the next N releases, rather than just the next one). I find
 that gives a very clear picture of where the project is at. It does need
to
 be kept up to date, though...

 Do you have any time to offer towards creating such a plan?
 Everybody pitches in around here...

I will help in any way that I can, although my time _is_ limited.

 I think Mozilla has a much larger community, and does it have more
 people who get paid to work on it?

Yes, it does, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. It needn't be a highly
detailed plan: I would expect it to start off fairly general and add details
as milestones get closer.

 Not that it's not a good goal -- just that wishing won't make it so!

Agreed!

Cheers,
Vil.

Re: What it will take for a 1.1 release... (was RE: Struts 1.1 Release)

2002-10-18 Thread Vilya Harvey
 Because of all these having been incorporated, I think Struts is now way
 past something that should have been called a 1.1 release. According to
the
...
 Well, a little perspective is necessary here -- Tiles and Validator
 have been in the 1.1 mix since well before 1.1.b2.  I do believe that
 the EL taglibs were added after 1.1b2, so maybe there's a bit of
 feature creep -- but they seem real handy if you have the liberty of
 using JSP 1.2 (wish I did...)

Don't get me wrong: I'm definitely not complaining about those features
being added. I think they're great! And because it's all contributed stuff,
it's not like it's taking up valuable development time that would otherwise
have been spent on improving the core. My only point is that Struts is doing
itself a disservice with it's current release numbering.

I'm fortunate in that my company has the good sense to use 1.1 despite the
fact that it's still called a beta; it seems that other readers of this list
are not so fortunate. But it would be a very hard sell to convince our
clients to let us use a nightly build of _anything_ in their applications.
Maybe it's just about time to flag a (stable) nightly build as beta 3?

 I definitely agree that this would be useful. I would prefer it to go
 slightly further though, into being a milestone plan along the same lines
as
 the one Mozilla has (i.e. to set out the features and bug fixes that are
 targetted for the next N releases, rather than just the next one). I find
 that gives a very clear picture of where the project is at. It does need
to
 be kept up to date, though...

 Do you have any time to offer towards creating such a plan?
 Everybody pitches in around here...

I will help in any way that I can, although my time _is_ limited.

 I think Mozilla has a much larger community, and does it have more
 people who get paid to work on it?

Yes, it does, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. It needn't be a highly
detailed plan: I would expect it to start off fairly general and add details
as milestones get closer.

 Not that it's not a good goal -- just that wishing won't make it so!

Agreed!

Cheers,
Vil.

RE: What it will take for a 1.1 release... (was RE: Struts 1.1 Release)

2002-10-16 Thread Kosh . Podder

Guys,

Before I say anything more, I'd just like to say that it's great to see the discussion 
taking place here... 

From: Joe Germuska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: 16 October 2002 00:35
To: Struts Users Mailing List
Subject: What it will take for a 1.1 release... (was RE: Struts 1.1
Release)


Struts committers are volunteers.  That is, they get no compensation 
for their work on Struts.  Therefore, is it so surprising that their 
primary motivation is pride in their work?  This means that they are 
in no hurry to release too early.

I think this is well understood and appreciated by all, and I certainly have no 
problem with this. I keep beating myself up about having no time to contribute 
anything - even writing my initial email seemed to take too much time out of my 
schedule - so the effort and work undertaken by all contributors is admired.

Also, as volunteers, they are likely to devote their time to the most 
interesting problems.  It appears that few of them find the formal 
management of the Struts development process to be a very interesting 
problem.

This is a bigger open-ended question than the immediate discussion here that I'm sure 
will have many different perspectives and opinions, but I'll just put it here so that 
people can offer their thoughts: how far can open source projects based on the work of 
volunteers, or more specifically (Jakarta/XML/etc) Apache projects go towards 
following the formalised development process, e.g. as we have to follow for our 
applications in our strictly controlled environments? What are the practical barriers 
to this:| e.g. dependence on lack of people willing and/or able to take on this boring 
stuff. How does this affect take up of such products in large organisations - e.g. off 
the top of my head, I can think of about 10 projects in my immediate area, leaving 
aside the many others here, that would I could get to start adopting Struts 1.1 if I 
could make it available to them.

That said, Struts components like Tiles, Validator, and most 
recently, the EL version of the tag libraries were all dreamed up by 
someone who saw a need, and they were adopted into Struts because 
those people committed their own energy to making something happen.

Perhaps what Struts needs are some people who are interested in 
managing the development process enough that they'll donate time and 
energy to it.  Or perhaps there will be a company that finds Struts 
promising enough that it will endorse some of its staff spending time 
and energy while on the job?

I think you've identified one of the requirements, but as we've all noted, the reality 
dictates that this will be very difficult. The latter part is another battle that 
we're fighting about how to allow our developers to contribute components we write as 
part of our development of our applications back into open source projects without 
breaking our policies and raising concerns on intellectual property rights.

I don't know of any official versioning policy besides the vision of 
the committers.  Perhaps they would concede that it would be OK to 
release Struts 1.1 sooner with the understanding that there might be 
a Struts 1.1.1 later.   Then again, they probably think that anyway, 
and they just believe that Struts 1.1 isn't ready yet.

It would be very useful to get some clarification of what the current take on this 
is...

The Release Plan page on the Jakarta site lists the bugs which are 
officially targeted for a 1.1 release.  However, it's pretty out of 
date.  Perhaps turning this into a living document would be a good 
volunteer opportunity?

I think this is a good idea - would be somewhere where people could just go and know 
that they an clear and accurate picture of the current release status, which they can 
take back into their discussions. Do others agree, and that this is possible and 
practical?

It turns out that only two are actually new and open (10537, 7353), 
plus one which was reassigned to Commons Validator and switched to an 
enhancement.  (10584)  (details below, since I was taking notes in my 
email client...)

 From that, you'd think a 1.1 release was just around the corner!! 
However, it's not going to be that easy.  My Bugzilla query turns up 
39 non-Enhancement open bugs against Struts.  Some of these are very 
old and may no longer be relevant.  (For example, a few refer to the 
original File Upload piece, while Struts now uses commons-fileupload.)

Maybe the first step would be to draft a release plan, even if it had 
no specific date on it, if only to track the bugs which were 
considered critical fixes for a full release.  A question for 
committers: is this something you feel you should draft?  Or would 
you accept a draft from a volunteer?  (For the next edition of the 
release plan that gets posted on the site, I'd suggesting putting 
HTML links straight into bugzilla for each issue, to make it easier 
for people to track things.)

Another significant issue

After reading this, I took a quick look at Bugzilla. It seems that a lot of
the bugs still marked as 'open' have actually had patches submitted. I don't
know if this is because the patches were found to be incorrect, but I didn't
see any comment to that effect during my quick trawl. So maybe the problem
is that bugs just aren't being closed when they're fixed.

leading to the 1.1 final release. As someone pointed out earlier in this

added it's much more like a 2.0 release.

I am rather of the opinion that the struts versioning nomenclature is a
wee bit on the humble side. This beta release of 1.1 is pretty stable. I
dont see why you cant just loosen up your standards a bit and call it
1.1 , then when all the bugs are fixed call that 1.2 , etc... For
'bigger' or more stable version changes use bigger numbers. Really 1.1
is so much better then 1.02 that you should be calling it 2.0 when it is
released (and the current beta releases should be something like
1.99) That will help keep the corporate monkeys off peoples backs
and lead to more impressively high sounding version numbers. :-)

any many people like myself continually fighting to get great open

 products like Struts into the organisation

so that development teams can use them, and the latest versions of

 However, this has to be done within the

processes and policies that apply to any third party software, 
commercial

 or otherwise.

 Not trying to whine - but I fight the same battles. I work for a big, 
 conservative company. Telling people it's a 'beta' release - 
 regardless of what that means - makes it much more difficult to get 
 things approved.

 Probably a greater percentage of your users than you realize are still

 using 1.02 for the sole reason that 1.1 is still called 'beta'. Worse,

 probably a lot of projects have started off that had to use 1.02 
 because
it
 was the 'stable release' - and then the development teams struggled. I

 saw one project dump struts because they had trouble getting it to do 
 what
they
 wanted (they were forced to use 1.02).



IMO, That could not possibly be a source of failure. I and others had
1.02 projects just fine! Statistically 80% of projects fail due to
requirements, so that would be my first guess. (More numbers? most
projects fail period, and that 99% of code in production is written by
1% of programmers) If they had tech issues, they could have gone with a
experienced mentor who has had Struts code in production before, which
is cost effective. And one needs to ask, why use open source?

Because it is *better* quality is one good reason.

Of course Java is at 1.4.1.  How similar is 1.4 to 1.0?  And why do they
call 1.2+ Java 2?  Why didn't they just call it Java 2.0?  Will there
ever be a Java 2.0 or will it just go to 1.100?  Coming from a Microsoft

Every product strategy is different, but most Java projects I'm familiar
with or involved in don't flip the major version number unless there are
significant backwards incompatibilities and/or very substantial new
features.  By that rule, we could have called it Struts 2.0 instead, but I
want to emphasize the fact that 1.0 based apps should generally run fine
in 1.1 unless you're doing some really intricate things.  (In other words,
the engineers picked the version number instead of the marketing folks :-).

For future versions of Struts, I'd likely support the x.y.z style that
Tomcat 4.1 (and Apache httpd server releases) use, where you do a
milestone with no implied quality label at all, and it's then assigned
an alpha, beta, or general availability label after the fact, based
on feedback.  But it's too late in the 1.1 cycle to change things that
radically this time around.

RE: Struts 1.1 Release

2002-10-16 Thread Greg.Reddin

 but I want to emphasize the fact that 1.0 based apps should 
 generally run fine in 1.1 unless you're doing some really intricate
things.


That's a good point.  You'd hate to imply to 1.0.2 users that their
stuff won't run on the next version.

 For future versions of Struts, I'd likely support the x.y.z style that
 Tomcat 4.1 (and Apache httpd server releases) use, where you do a
 milestone with no implied quality label at all, and it's 
 then assigned an alpha, beta, or general availability label 
 after the fact, based on feedback.  


I see a lot of value in this approach.  It sort of avoids the whole
issue that beta seems to mean something different with open source, or
at least Apache products than it does with commercial stuff.

RE: Struts 1.1 Release

2002-10-16 Thread Andrew Hill

Maybe you could pronounce beta as better everytime you talk to people ;-)

Perhaps we could have a label for those builds that are noted as being more
stable.
Something along the lines of 'Very High Stability', so you would have:
struts1.1-beta
and struts1.1-VHS

Seriously though I find the versioning in the Java world quite ridiculous.
The marketing guys at Sun had the right idea with Java2 - the actual JVM
versions really ought to follow this!

 Really 1.1 is so much better then 1.02 that you should be calling it
2.0
 when it is released (and the current beta releases should be something

 like 1.99)


Of course Java is at 1.4.1.  How similar is 1.4 to 1.0?  And why do they
call 1.2+ Java 2?  Why didn't they just call it Java 2.0?  Will there
ever be a Java 2.0 or will it just go to 1.100?  Coming from a Microsoft
background (and finally seeing the light), I'm not familiar with the
strange versioning strategy in the Java Community and it's always
baffled me.  At our company we release a new major version every year
whether we need to or not.  I'm working to evangelize things like Struts
and open source in general, and part of that may be trying to change the
perception of release names, and words like beta.

Were you subscribed to the mailing list earlier today when this was discussed?

Struts 1.1 will be released when it's released. Period. No variation from that.

That said, even the beta versions of Struts far exceed other software in terms of 
usefulness and reliability, so don't worry about formal release dates and just start 
using the thing.

RE: Struts 1.1 Release

2002-10-15 Thread Kosh . Podder

I totally understand and agree with the release policy, but I think it's worth 
remembering that a lot of these questions are driven by the constraints of users' 
environments - e.g. in corporate environments like ours, there any many people like 
myself continually fighting to get great open source products like Struts into the 
organisation so that development teams can use them, and the latest versions of them. 
However, this has to be done within the processes and policies that apply to any third 
party software, commercial or otherwise.

Specifically, in our case, I am the product owner of Struts here among other  products 
from the Apache family of projects here and it is my responsibility to make the 
standard builds of Struts on our software distribution servers so that development can 
reference this for use by their applications, as must be done for all external 
software (it's an audit point). However, in order to do this, I must get the new 
version approved by a central department which is extremely difficult, if not 
impossible for software that is tagged as beta regardless of the quality. (Yes, you 
can imagine how commercial software vendors deal with this in their versioning 
policy... :-( ) Therefore, all our applications are currently stuck on v1.0.2 rather 
than the latest and greatest 1.1 regardless of how stable it may be in practice.  I 
know that we are not alone in this kind of approach, and that this kind of situation 
and red tape is the reality in big organisations...

Working in one of our architecture teams, I advise application development teams in 
our area when it comes to working out and implementing their roadmaps, and part of 
this requires the recommendation of technologies on the basis of an understanding of 
when certain products such as Struts can be made available for their use - this 
applies equally to any kind of software.

So I would be interested in hearing any suggestions about how we could resolve the 
need for us to have a better understanding of how close we are to a final release of 
any given version, e.g. clearly listing the issues that are preventing a release being 
deemed as 1.1 quality on the website? Would it be possible to change the versioning 
policy so that more non-beta dot releases are made possible, since many components are 
known to have no issues? These are just some ideas - they may well not be workable but 
I would like to know what could be done, since it is very frustrating for me and 
others like me to play with great beta products and rave about them to colleagues, 
but not be able to make them available for use by their applications - this ultimately 
results in a lack of interest and apathy towards such products, which is a great shame 
given their quality.

Hope something useful can come out of this!

Best regards,


Kosh

You guys's whines are not half as loud as my wails when I consider how
long 1.1 has waited for a final release :-(.  Unfortunately, schedules are
one of the prices when it's an all-volunteer effort (no, Sun doesn't pay
me to work on Struts, and what they do pay me for is very very
time-consuming).

Recently, we've added a couple of additional committers -- in part, to
help eliminate the existing backlog of bugs (but also, of course, to build
up the team that will come up with future things to top Struts 1.1 :-).  I
hope to see improvement -- but it's not rational to try to make any
promises when none of us can control the amount of time we have available
to devote to finishing Struts 1.1.

IMO, That could not possibly be a source of failure. I and others had

projects fail period, and that 99% of code in production is written by 
1% of programmers)
If they had tech issues, they could have gone with a experienced mentor 
who has had Struts code in production before, which is cost effective.
And one needs to ask, why use open source?
http://www.opensource.org/advocacy/case_for_business.php
Because it is *better* quality is one good reason.

Point not argued - though the pages were extremely dynamic. Each page had a
variable number of fields (potentially 20 or more). Each field had a
variable number of options (again up to 20 each) - and depending on the
data, the options may have required a text entry field, radio buttons or
checkboxes (more than one option chosen). All with tight validations driven
by the user's personal information. The validations varied by the data
values as well (validations were different depending on option types).

I believe some features from 1.1 would have made things easier for them -
though it is hard to say.

And regarding:  99% of code in production is written by 1% of programmers
- I'm 99% sure that this is at least a 1% exaggeration. :-}

RE: Struts 1.1 Release

2002-10-15 Thread Andrew Hill

I am rather of the opinion that the struts versioning nomenclature is a wee
bit on the humble side. This beta release of 1.1 is pretty stable. I dont
see why you cant just loosen up your standards a bit and call it 1.1 , then
when all the bugs are fixed call that 1.2 , etc...
For 'bigger' or more stable version changes use bigger numbers. Really 1.1
is so much better then 1.02 that you should be calling it 2.0 when it is
released (and the current beta releases should be something like 1.99)
That will help keep the corporate monkeys off peoples backs and lead to more
impressively high sounding version numbers. :-)

projects fail period, and that 99% of code in production is written by
1% of programmers)
If they had tech issues, they could have gone with a experienced mentor
who has had Struts code in production before, which is cost effective.
And one needs to ask, why use open source?

Because it is *better* quality is one good reason.
