+ <p>
+ A solid release of Netspread Carrier 2.0 b2 is available today.
+ The Carrier client, a visual design environment on Internet, is
+ tested with JRE 1.4.2 with performance surprising my VB
+ friends.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Enhancements include:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 1) A Form Token Facility is introduced to automatically protect
+ every web form and every hyper link in application modules with
+ no-cache turned on. The facility is completely hidden from
+ the views of designers and can be turned on/off programmatically.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 2) The Carrier Developer's Guide is near completed in which
+ the LocalizedDate class is examined in details. The four
+ key attributes, input format, output format, format pattern
+ (or a key to the localized pattern), and error key, are completely
+ encapsulated in the class. Therefore designers only need to
+ register this class in a form bean property descriptor with
+ desired format pattern or its key in ONE place. I see other
+ methodologies make the designers to register input format here,
+ output format there, pattern in another configuration file...
+ causing endless troubles just for a simple Date property.
+ Now the problem is solved in the cleanest way. It is a
+ complete i18n java.sql.Date property to my knowledge and
+ it tells us almost any other complex properties could be
+ designed this way. See it with composing screen shots at
+ <a href="http://www.netspread.com/developer.html#FormBeanValidations";>
+ http://www.netspread.com/developer.html#FormBeanValidations</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Carrier is designed to be used by sloppy users like many of
+ us on the Struts lists. It doesn't tell you "How easy to write codes
+ to do it", instead, it tells you "How easy to compose web
+ forms to do it" with the capability of CRUD operations for hierarchical
+ and/or tabular data entries. It also tells you "Where you put
+ wrong things" in case configuration errors occur. It is a solid
+ commercial grade product for you to enjoy, no suffering.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you complain any parts of it, tell us. User experience is on
+ top of the priority list. Do not forget to follow the 24 tips
+ on Wheels and Struts when you play it
