All,

I had some time while sitting in La Guardia airport this weekend - so I put the final touches on Struts Resume and released a new version. I'm developing Struts Resume for 2 reasons: (1) so I can edit and publish my resume online and (2) to demonstrate developing a real-world app with AppFuse. Feel free to checkout the online demo.

This release is a major improvement over the last one. Not only did I upgrade all the code to use AppFuse 1.4 ([release notes at http://tinyurl.com/27z2k), but I also removed Struts from the services layer. Moreover, you can actually enter almost all of the pieces of a resume and render it in HTML and Word format. The resume-entry piece (and sections you can enter) is largely based on what Monster.com uses. I may add other sections in the future (i.e. awards and publications).

The main reason this is not a 1.0 release is because an administrator is the only one who can edit the HTML template - and the Word/RTF template is not editable online. Allowing a user to override the default template(s) will be the primary goal in 1.0.

Here's a specific rundown of all the changes from the changelog:

* Upgraded to AppFuse 1.4 - Includes Spring and all kinds of other goodies.
* Added Resume Creation/Editing Wizard.
* Added ability to edit HTML Template online (Admins only).
* UI Updates:
- Background borrowed from http://www.alistapart.com. (Thanks!)
- Changed from ListMenu to TabbedMenu.
- Changed to fixed-width layout (700px).
- Added CSS drop shadows to headers.
- Idea from http://phoenity.com/newtedge/drop_shadow/
- Hack to fix Safari in web/layouts/baseLayout.jsp
* The Tomcat User's resume can be on the demo server at http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-resume/tomcat.html.


Enjoy!

Matt
