Double submit problem with Woody?

2003-11-04 Thread Jeff Ramsdale
I was testing the Woody samples this afternoon with a co-worker (form1 sample, I'm not sure if it was the flow or action version) and received an error that seemed to indicate a double submit problem. That is, I submitted some information, clicked the Back button (or probably skipped back a few

Hi all, Up till now I've only casually been following progress on flow and forms development in Cocoon but recently I've had opportunity to dig deeper (new job--woo hoo!). So my question here may already have been answered and I missed it. Please forgive me if that's the case. I'm curious about

Hi all, Ran across this page and searched the archive for references. Found one from a year or so ago from Sylvain, so I thought it might be time to point it out again. The Wafer Project compares the feature sets of major Java-based web application frameworks. Companies love this sort of chart

See below... What happens if we find out that a certain block is not supported any more (technology outdated, we have a better block, any active developers) *after* we marked it as supported. The first question I had was how long does supported mean? The former proposed *certified*

Chiming in on Stefano's comments... I think Erik and Orbeon deserve credit for accepting this list's corrections and updating their page. And don't forget that they have every right to sell their product and support services. It might be worth occasionally looking at OXF and saying, Yeah, that's

I expect the average new Cocoon user is also a Windows user (though I could be wrong). So why are the snapshots not in .zip format? FYI: WinZip supports tar.gz files just fine. That may be (and I suspected as much), but WinZip would be another download for a user who just wants to try out

IMHO, it's simply unworkable to have major stuff going on in one module, over two branches, at the same time. In CVS, I've always found branches == pain. I appreciate a move to something like subversion is quite a revolution, and I'd suggest it's something best kept for the next

If all the cool features that users want to play with are in the HEAD via Subversion, you might think about easing the path to entry for the new user... Ain't this (http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/cocoon-2.1/) easy enough? :) Vadim For a moment I was going to acquiesce, but then I
