Hi,As others have mentioned, Bugzilla is the best way to raise enhancement requests (and post corresponding patches), while the STRUTS-DEV list is the best place to discuss ideas.
I've got a number of issues that I'd like to raise regarding feature requests with suggested fixes. Can someone inform me of the best way to go about this? I'd like to know what the process is to suggesting, raising and fixing features and problems so that they can be destined for the next release.
I'd like to initially tackle the following issues:
o html:errors tag - Add the ability to specify the maximum number of errors to display rather than displaying all available errors.
o html:link - Improve the way it handles multi-module support. My previous message regading module support was unanswered.
o Adding ActionMessages/ActionErrors from a specified resource bundle - I saw a patch for this that unfortunately didnt address the issue correctly (Bug 7892)
o The addition of a ReloadableActionServlet to be used for development purposes. I take note of the comments seen before regarding reloading and sync'ing requests so it would be useful for ONLY development purposes. The gain in productivity is substantial when its possible to reload without restarting the container and a reloadable ActionServlet should be included in the distribution. From a simple implementation it appears that there are clean-up problems needing to be addressed with the tiles factory and request processors being left in invalid states but still present in the ServletContext. I'm also interested in support of real-time changes to modules without re-loading config to facilitate the use of CMS products in a large production environment.
With regard to reload, you're going to find yourself disappointed when you can change config files but not classes; so it seems like a lot of effort for little gain (but it's not my effort, so not as big a deal :-). I have found that using the right container makes all the difference in the world; my typical turnaround time for an "ant reload" command issued against Tomcat is a couple of seconds -- and that means reloading the entire app, so it *does* pick up new and updated Java classes.
Comments please.Craig
