A new version of Xkins (http://xkins.sourceforge.net/) has been
released.
This new version has some new features including the capability of
compose new Skins based on existing ones.
Xkins is a framework to mannage Skins for web applications.
You can download the last version from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=83923&package_id=8
6521&release_id=245465
There is also a Proof of Concept of Xkins using Struts. This demo will
show how Struts and Xkins can be combined to add Skinning capabilities
to Struts web applications.
The full list of features is:
New functionality:
1) Skin composite: allows to compose a skin with templates from other
skins, in a composite fashion.
2) Proof of Concept Xkins application: uses Xkins in a Struts based web
application. Allows to create a Custom Skin by the user.
3) XkinsEditor: a new class that allows to compose Skins. see example in
skinAction in Xkins POC
4) Log4J: XkinsLogger is created. Uses this logging mechanism inside
Xkins. XKINS category is created.
5) JByte: New Template processor that uses Java By Template.
Changes:
1) Add release() method to taglibs.
2) API improvement: Allows to use xkinProcessor and create templates on
the fly easily:
a) Add a constructos for Skin with name, and with name and
processor.
b) Add a constructor for Processor that receives a class as the
TemplateProcessor
c) Add a constructor for Content to receive a string with the
content or the url where the template content is.
d) Add a contructor for Template to receive a string with the
content or the url where the template content is, and with name and
processor.
3) Upgrade to Velocity 1.4
4) Bug correction on reloading Velocity based templates: When a Velocity
template was modified and Xkins were reloaded, templates remained
cached. This is solved in this version.
5) XkinProcessor and an undefined skin: if you create a XkinProcessor
with an undefined skin name, the default skin name is used.
6) Add a SkinType getter to Xkins
Cheers.
Guillermo.
