[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.0.4 Release

2002-12-06 Thread Carsten Ziegeler
Apache Cocoon 2.0.4 Released


   The Apache Cocoon team is proud to announce the new release
   of Apache Cocoon.


Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of
XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level.
Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX
processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the
separation of concerns between content, logic and style.
A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching
top this all off and help you to create, deploy and maintain
rock-solid XML server applications.

Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved
web model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs
and ease production. In an era where services rather than software
will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model
for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open
standards.

This release of Cocoon is a maintainance release focusing on
improved performance and robustness. In addition some bugs were
fixed and new features were added. See the following changes list
for more information.

http://xml.apache.org/cocoon

Changes with Apache Cocoon 2.0.4

*) The HTMLGenerator now accepts a JTidy configuration file for fine-grained
control on the generated document. [SW]

*) New Logicsheet for use with InputModules. [CH]

*) xsp.xsl now includes all xsp:init-page tags. Additional xsp:exit-page tag
for cleanup operations. [CH]

*) New InputModule to map parameter names to / from another name. Uses
translation table and additional prefix / suffix. [CH]

*) Fixed SimpleFormTransformer: Malformed XML with textarea elements.  [CH]

*) Allow to set the i18n transformer's locale from the sitemap as a
parameter (ported from 2.1-dev). The old behavior, based on LocaleAction is
preserved only for 2.0.x versions and will be removed from the further
releases (2.1 and higher). [KP]

*) New build target "validate-config" to conduct build-time validation of
some core important configuration files using RELAX NG (call it manually
with: ./build.sh validate-config). Currently doing: all sitemap.xmap, all
cocoon.roles, all *.xsl stylesheets, all book.xml files. [DC]

*) Extend the syntax of sitemap variable substitution : variables can have a
prefix which indicates an InputModule where to get the value from. For
example, the expression "{request-param:foo}" will evaluate to the value of
the "foo" request parameter (provided of course that the "request-param"
InputModule is correctly defined in cocoon.xconf). [SW]

*) RequestLifecycleComponents were not handled properly when the cocoon:
protocol is used [CZ]

*) Changed SimpleFormTransformer to use InputModules. [CH]

*) Changed InputModules to return Iterator instead of Enumeration. New
abstract "meta" module to make new meta modules easier. Stripped "meta" from
defaults module. Added JXPathMetaModule. Added extension classes and
packages to all modules that are based on JXPath. [CH]

*) Improved support for CLOB and BLOB columns in modular database actions.
[CH]

*) New chaining InputModule that allows to use additional modules when an
attribute is not present or null. [CH]

*) Changed defaults of InputModule names in many places to new names. [CH]

*) Fixing namespace handling of SQLTransformer. [CZ]

*) New ZipArchiveSerializer to build zip files aggregating various sources
as archive entries. Can be used to generate zip files, sxw files
(OpenOffice), jar files, etc. [SW]

*) TraxTransformer does not have use-deli parameter anymore. If deli is
configured in the cocoon.xconf, it always will be used. [VG]

*) CocoonServlet upload behavior now configurable from the web.xml.
Configuration parameters are: autosave-uploads, overwrite-uploads,
upload-max-size. See web.xml for description. [VG]

*) Remove the static factory variable in RequestFactory, and instead pass it
to the HttpRequest via the environment. [VG]

*) ReadDOMSessionTransformer now can work with any types of object (same
mechanism as in  now used). Configuration parameter dom-name
renamed to attribute-name. [VG]

*) Src attribute can be used now with SessionAttributeGenerator to specify
session attribute name. Old syntax preserved. [VG]

*) Local parameters in SessionStateAction still do override global
parameters, but do NOT change global parameters. [VG]

*) Src attribute can be used now with ResourceExistsAction. Old parameter
syntax preserved. [VG]

*) Fixed prefix mapping for the sql transformer. [CZ]

*) FOP user configuration can now be specified as URL or relative path as
the value of the  element. [VG]

*) Load default FOP configuration only once, do not overwrite any user
configuration. [VG]

*) Remove unnessesary code in SVGBuilder. This also fixes intermittent
ClassCastExceptions in Batik code. [VG]

*) Fix issue
