  +        <p>
  +            The struts IRC channel at <code>irc.darkmyst.org #struts_users</code> 
was created
  +            for two reasons:
  +        </p>
  +        <p>
  +            1) To provide a place where struts questions can receive more
  +            interactive and immediate dialog.
  +        </p>
  +        <p>
  +            2) To relieve [OT] tensions from the list.
  +        </p>
  +        <p>
  +            Please feel free to visit the IRC channel to participate in either. It
  +            is good practice to keep the struts list clean from renegade threads.

  +            The next meeting of the Silicon Valley Struts User BOF will be held at
  +            Netscape in Mountain View on Wednesday, November 5th. Craig McClanahan, 
a
  +            senior staff engineer for Sun Microsystems, will make a presentation on 
this
  +            topic:

  +        <p>
  +            Struts and JavaServer Faces -- Competition or Coexistence?
  +        </p>
  +        <p>
  +            Craig is uniquely qualified to give this talk, because he is both the
  +            original creator of the Struts Framework and co-specification lead for
  +            JavaServer Faces (JSR-127). You will find the full announcement

  +            This meeting is being co-hosted by the Silicon Valley Java User Group
  +            (SVJUG) and the Java SIG of the East Bay I.T. Group (eBIG). Special 
thanks

  -        <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

Struts/EJB</h4>
  -        <p>
  -        Alpharetta, GA - Metanology releases new Model-driven Development 
Environment (MDE) products
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -        Overview:<br />
  -        MDE is a full featured, model-driven development environment that includes a
  -        UML modeler and MetaProgramTM editor that integrates with a Java IDE.  MDE
  -        transforms a simple UML model of an application into the majority of the
  -        implementation by executing MetaPrograms. Applications are completed using
  -        traditional development techniques.
  -        MDE for EJB and MDE for J2EE enhance the company's existing MDE for Struts.
  -        MDE for EJB creates session beans, entity beans, message driven beans,
  -        business objects and value objects from simple UML models. MDE for J2EE
  -        enhances MDE for Struts and MDE for EJB by interfacing the Struts user
  -        interface to EJB services.
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -        Platform Independent Modeling Typical modeling techniques require a class
  -        for each element in the implementation resulting in complex models that are
  -        difficult to understand and maintain. MDE promotes modeling what the
  -        application does, not how it is built, making modeling fast, easy, and
  -        reusable across platforms.
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -        MetaPrograms A combination of Java and JSP-style syntax, MetaPrograms are
  -        easy to write, contain all the technical details of architecture, and create
  -        multiple files in the implementation from a single class in the model.
  -        MetaProgramming with MDE gives you complete control of how the model is
  -        turned into code.  Rather than writing all the code by hand, MetaProgramming
  -        let's you "write the code that writes the code."TM
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -        MDE Life Cycle Life cycle benefits are two fold. First, life cycle tools
  -        preserve your hand-written code from one generation to the next. Second,
  -        they replace existing MetaProgram generated code with updated MetaProgram
  -        code. Used to its fullest, MDE is ideal for iterative and incremental
  -        development methods, Agile and Extreme Programming.

struts</h4>
  -        <p>
  -            Just thought I'd let you know that LogWeb, a fully functional 
administration interface for Log4J,
  -            has been implemented with Struts.
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -            LogWeb is freely available at:
  -        </p>

  -            Thanks to the struts team. Without struts, LogWeb would have taken much

  -        <p>
  -            There are often newbie requests asking how to deal with a database layer
  -            from Struts. Since there are so many ways this can be done,
  -            'simple' examples of how this can be done seem hard to come by. Since I
  -            currently use iBATIS as my persistence mechanism of choice, I created a
  -            simple Struts application demonstrating just one way a developer could
  -            use database persistence:
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -            <a 
href="http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/ibatisLesson1";>http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/ibatisLesson1</a>
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -            I didn't really have the time to write up a full lesson like the others
  -            on the site, but I did provide some comments on a few of the components
  -            that deal directly with iBATIS http://www.ibatis.com/.(The iBATIS
  -            documentation is excellent and should be read first along side the
  -            application). I've looked at the way others have plugged into the
  -            database layer and happen to think the approach I demonstrate is simple
  -            yet also very flexible.
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -            For a more powerful implementation the user should check out the
  -            awesome JPetStore application at
  -            <a 
href="http://www.ibatis.com/jpetstore/jpetstore.html";>http://www.ibatis.com/jpetstore/jpetstore.html</a>
  -        </p>
  -        <p>
  -            Also, Vic has an interesting approach using iBATIS demonstrated in
  -            the basicPortal application that you can check out
  -            here: <a
