Re: [VOTE] Release Candidate JMeter 2.3 RC1 - abandoned

2007-07-09 Thread Dion Gillard

From looking at Struts SVN, I'm guessing that they're built and then tagged

from a revision of trunk and then that tag is voted on for quality.

Maybe one of the Struts/Tomcat committers can explain how they do it? Ted,
Don?

 I know this isn't how things are done ATM with jakarta, but it's worth
 thinking about.

I have been making regular nightly builds available, however it was
only when I created a formal build and called for a vote that various
issues surfaced.

So yes, it could be useful in future.

Do these quality check builds have to be tagged in SVN?
Or can they just be built from the current code line?

Hi,

the Jakarta Commons Team (or Apache Commons Team, nowadays) is glad to
announce the release of Commons IO 1.3.2. Commons IO is a library of
low-level utilities to assist with developing IO functionality. This
is a bug fix release with the following changes:

- Some tests, which are implicitly assuming a Unix-like file system,
are now skipped
  on Windows. Fixes IO-115.
- Created the FileCleaningTracker, basically a non-static version of
the FileCleaner,
  which can be controlled by the user. Fixes IO-116.
- EndianUtils - both readSwappedUnsignedInteger(...) methods could
return negative
  numbers due to int/long casting. Fixes IO-117. Thanks to Hiroshi Ikeda.

Commons-IO 1.3.2 is available from

Re: [VOTE] Commons moving to TLP

2007-05-23 Thread Dion Gillard

I think  there's another issue here.

Many of those who voted +1, aren't on the initial list of committers
in the proposal.

Also, many current commons committers aren't on the proposed list.

It seems that we're not voting on that specific proposal, rather just
the idea to move, and that a lot of people are being disenfranchised
by not being listed.

Wouldn't it be better if the initial list came from the svn acl?

Its down to people to add themselves to the TLP resolution (they were
invited to do so) - if people are disenfranchised then its their own
choice.


I don't know about that. It seems that a discussion and proposal
taking place on a different list isn't being as inclusive as we should
be.


 Wouldn't it be better if the initial list came from the svn acl?

Would seem wrong to put people on the list without their consent.


It would also seem wrong to 'remove' someone's commit access to the
code by moving it to a TLP without at least keeping the dev list
informed.

Re: [VOTE] Commons moving to TLP

2007-05-23 Thread Dion Gillard

Stephen,

I think Sebb does have a valid point.

Using CLI as an example, I'm not sure that there is a shared sense of
responsibility for it.

CLI 1.x has had an issue open against it since 2006-03 with only
recent activity on it, and Henri's comment in that issue from 2007-03
(CLI is still pretty much a dead commons component. No one's actively
working on it.)  is damning evidence.

On 5/23/07, Stephen Colebourne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

- Original Message 
From: sebb [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Do all the Commons sub-projects have sufficient numbers ot committers
 to justify them remaining in Commons? For example CLI has not even had
 a formal release yet and has been far less active than JMeter, but is
 still protected by being in Commons.

Commons components are not the equivalent of Jakarta sub-projects.

That is a key factor as to why commons can continue to function, when Jakarta 
has died.

The difference is that everyone is responsible for everything in Commons, 
whereas in Jakarta people only take responsibility for their own area. Now, 
thats not to say that every Commons developer cares equally about every Commons 
component, but there is a strong sense of shared responsibility. Anyone can 
review/support/oppose a commit/idea/release.

Thus, your original question re CLI doesn't really apply in the same way.

I've migrated my current application out of EJB's (weblogic) because

lock you into T3 and its deployment.

For most modest transactional needs, you can out build and out perform
any appserver using the JDBC.

You can't even get small result sets with reasonable performance using
EJB.

No matter what you try to do with EJB, I can provide a simpler, faster,
more scalable, and cheaper solution.

I agree. Doing EJBs is bad on many levels and creates more problems. 
Avoid EJB if you want to stay in Java.

Alternative is to just use Struts + TomCat + RowSet (or DAO if you are

Thanks for the convincing argument.

So tell me how using Struts+Tomcat+RowSet you get:
- location independence
- distributed processing
- failover and clustering support
- transactional object behaviour for non-data classes
- pooled business objects

Ans since you're using SOAP, how do you handle things like massive 
object creation issues on the SOAP Server? Write all that infrastructure 
again? Sure why not.

It would be good if this can be fixed relatively quickly (it's been like
this for a couple of days now) as it seems to present a very bad picture of
Jakarta Tomcat if the Jakarta team cannot get their own Java-enabled website
running correctly.
All the best,

Looks like one of those easy to debug, not-java Velocity things :)

I'm no good on it

Re: [PATCH] xdocs/stylesheets/site.vsl

2002-01-28 Thread dIon Gillard

Hi Ceki,

do you know if the site.xsl has the same ability already?

If not, we'll need to patch that one too. Also, the tag documentation 
should be updated whenever a new tag is introduced. I'll test the 
site.xsl here and if it needs a patch will create one too.

Hello,

I have modified xdocs/stylesheets/site.vsl so that meta elements in
the XML file are translated into meta tags in the HTML header. This is
useful for example to add keyword meta tags which make it easy for
search engines to categorize the page.

The addition is very simple and consists of the printMeta macro and an
iteration on all meta elements in $root. It's nothing much, possibly
buggy and most definitely not as elegant as it should be. (I know very
little about velocity and even less about anakia.)

I have not applied the patch pending approval. Regards, Ceki

I've changed site.xsl so that it matches the functionality added by Ceki 
and also updated the example doc and tag explanations.
