Hello,
Thanks a lot Glen, for this very much helpful information. I would love
to contribute to roller project.
Also about the pom.xml you mentioned is correct but I took the checkout
from svn where the file still have that repo, you can see that here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/tags/roller_5.0/pom.xml
Is it correct to file Jira for this issue, as it seems to me that its
not a issue just that code is not updated in svn. What do you think ?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav, can you switch to 5.1-SNAPSHOT? It is *so* much smaller,
simpler and cleaner, even if it perhaps (?) has more bugs (it may not,
actually.) Roller chair Dave Johnson upgraded his blog to
5.1-SNAPSHOT, skipping 5.0.2 entirely, and I plan on doing the same
myself.
To build Roller 5.0.x on my machine takes about 5 minutes, Roller
5.1-SNAPSHOT is about 1 minute 10 seconds. It's *that* much better.
Also, we don't have any 3rd party repos in 5.1-SNAPSHOT anymore, so
your headache below (and associated wasted time) would never have
occurred were you on 5.1-SNAPSHOT.
To answer your question, that repo is no longer in the 5.0.x branch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/branches/roller_5.0/pom.xml?revision=1515920&view=markup,
so that problem shouldn't occur today--you're working with an older
version. You can enter JIRAs (bug reports) and supply patches but
except for compilation errors and security holes the Roller team
doesn't want to spend any more time on the 5.0.x series. If you
supply several quality patches over a sustained period of time you may
get voted in as a committer (having direct commit rights), like it is
with every Apache project, but until then you'll need a committer to
apply your JIRA-posted patches.
(BTW, you should be on 5.0.2 or 5.1-SNAPSHOT due to security holes in
5.0.1: http://rollerweblogger.org/project/entry/apache_roller_5_0_2)

Glen

Hello,
I have implemented the change successfully and tested it. Thanks for
helping.
Also during the build of the project, I found build failure due to
error in the pom.xml of roller_5.0.1
pom.xml
<repository>
<id>guice</id>
<url>http://guice-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/</url>
</repository>
The url given is not found and gives 404 error. I have fixed this for
my local by commenting this repository and replace with this
<repository>
<id>thirdparty-uploads</id>
<name>JBoss Thirdparty Uploads</name>
<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/thirdparty-uploads</url>
</repository>
If its an issue and have to be fixed, then I so eager to commit this.
If so, Please tell me how I can commit this.
Thanks

Haven't tested it yet, but it looks like the only change in either
5.0.x or 5.1 is in class WeblogEntry, method createAnchorBase(),
just change the underscore in this line to a hyphen: tmp = (tmp ==
null) ? s : tmp + "_" + s; then rebuild Roller.

I haven't looked yet for 5.1, it will probably be the same
class(es) in 5.0.x, check Roller commits list for when it's done
(don't know when I or someone else will be able to get to it, we're
a volunteer effort.)

Hello Glen,
It will be great that we should introduce this in roller 5.1 but
what about
the roller 5.0 users, as I am using roller 5.0 and just have
completly
integrated in my another application so how I should go, I am
finding the
solution for the urls with dashes so that i can finally make it live.
So, what Can I do to implement it in roller 5.0, If there are to
be changes
in code I can customize for my application.
Thanks

Hi Gaurav, thanks for looking at Roller. Yes, it looks like
Roller needs
updating here, as most blogging-like tools are now on hyphens:
Wordpress:

dead-wildfly-and-jboss-eap-to-rescue/
Blogger:
http://owulff.blogspot.com/2013/11/apache-cxf-fediz-110-released.html
Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20146549/compile-
method-of-expressiontdelegate-makes-fatal-error-on-android
Confluence (exception, uses +):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF/Commercial+CXF+Offerings
And Google, at least as of 2011, recommends using hyphens for new
webpages
(but does not see much value in switching over if one is already on
underscores, as the SEO gain is not much):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQcSFsQyct8
Team: I think what we should do, starting with Roller trunk
(5.1), is
default to hyphens but add a roller.properties setting allowing
admins to
revert to the 5.0.x and earlier default of underscores if they
wish: (For
simplicity and blog server consistency, I think this should be an
admin-only and not a blog-specific setting.)
# Roller 5.1 now separates words in blog URLs using hyphens.
# Enable below to revert to pre-5.1 underscore separators
rendering.use.underscore.separator=false
(better suggestions for property name welcome but it looks like this
particular property should be in the "rendering." section of the
prop file,
hence that prefix.)
Migrations from older Roller versions to Roller 5.1 will keep the
underscores for old blog entries (again, for simplicity & so
links to them
don't go dead) but use hyphens for new entries unless the above
property is
set to "true". (Anyone aware of other potential hiccups, i18n'ed
URLs
perhaps, with switching to hyphens?) WDYT?

Hello,
As the url in roller are made with underscore in it, Is there a
way so
that I can change that with dash. As for a new website it will
be difficult
as google also suggest for using URL with dashes rather than
underscore.
*Example**:* [1] to [2]
What will the best way to do this ? I was thinking of doing it in
urlrewrite or if possible I can change some lines in code.
[1] - www.yyy.com/blog/xyz/*test_blog
