Now that you understand the design, you can understand the impl too! :) Take a look at controls/src/runtime/org/apache/beehive/controls/runtime/generator/ControlManifest.vm (the Velocity template for JAR manifest generation) and I'm 100% certain you can submit a patch along with the bug.
All of the JavaBean codegen stuff lives in this directory, so often fixes for codegen issues live here too... -- Kyle On 4/14/05, Mridul Muralidharan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Kyle , > > Thanks a lot for clarifying this ! > I will file the appropriate bugs - and this time , I dont have any hack > to offer since I was not sure of the design intentions :) > > Regards > Mridul > > Kyle Marvin wrote: > > >Mridul, > > > >The intention is that Controls should be 100% conformant with the > >JavaBeans spec.
