Should have mentioned what I was working on. I am developing the ability to display threaded comments.
So far I got the displaying part done. I added an additional attribute subComments to WebEntryComment and the associated wrapper of type List. In the JPAWeblogEntryManagerImpl I'm building the List that is returned so that it returns a list of all the comments as usual but the comments that have subComments will have their array populated. This way other parts of roller like the atom and rss feeds will work as normal. I split up the showEntryComments macro so I could properly do the recursion (this gave me some problems since I'm new to velocity). Right now I'm working on the actual replying part. I'm trying to set up a new method for the CommentForm called reply but I keep getting SC_NOT_FOUND exceptions thrown. Getting the debugger working will help me get up to speed quicker on the roller architecture. I'm also going to need to figure out how to set it up as a configurable parameter either in roller.properties or on a per server or per blog basis. Any thoughts on which would be better? I think per blog might be best or it could be configured within the theme.
