Thanks for the reminder Craig. I'm going to start making sure to use the
latest nightly builds in all of my development.  I think I'll also send
out a reminder on the list occasionally about this since it is important
these nightly builds get tested since the entire Struts community as a
whole suffers when there are bugs in final releases.

2003-03-01 Thread Ray Madigan
Craig,

I guess I made other assumptions about the process.  I thought that
there were people on the list that volunteered to test just like you
volunteer to write code.  I would have been more apt to run my project
on the nightly builds had I knew you were counting on us.  I appreciate
you clearing that up for me.  I am relatively new to struts - have
been here about three weeks.

Thanks and I do appreciate all you do and am willing to contribute
where I can.

Ray Madigan

The other side of that coin is also important -- if nobody tests the
nightly builds, then we developers never find out about the bugs until
after a release build is published, which harms the reputation for quality
that we would all prefer.

I get somewhat depressed about the "for obvious reasons" reason that
people give for not at least *trying* your app against the nightly builds.
After all, the day that Struts 1.1 final is released, guess what -- it
will have exactly the same classes as that night's nightly build :-).
There is nothing magical about the label "final release" that makes it any
better (or worse) other than marginally more testing.

Going into production is a different story -- but the harsh reality is the
only reason RC1 was called RC1 instead of beta 4 was to get at least a
*few* more people to test it.  Fortunately for the quality of the final
release, that goal was achieved.  Unfortunately, many of the bugs could
have been found and fixed quite a while ago, with more testing.

2003-02-28 Thread David Graham
AFAIK, the commons components strive for backwards compatibility so 
theoretically you should be able to use the versions that come with Struts.  
You make a great point about using beta OSS in production.  I hope your 
mgmt. listens :-).

Craig,

I hear what you're saying.  At times, I feel like we're dealing with a
two-edge sword. I wish our teams could do more work with nightly builds. 
One

of the battles I constantly face with our management is their reluctancy to
even allow us to work with "beta" releases (or lesser) in our development
environment.  Their fear is, not knowing when an official release will
occur, that beta open-source software will end up in production.  But my
argument is, hey if we've successfully completed all levels of testing
(unit, integration, q/a, etc.), have the corresponding source code, know
what the open bugs/issues/limitations are, what's the worse that can 
happen?

We discover a bug that we have to fix (and possibly relay back to the
open-source development team).  How is this any different that with the 
code

we develop in-house?  I guarantee you we have in-house software running in
production that should be labeled "beta" (or less), but isn't because of a
schedule that had to be met. It's too bad the label "beta" has to be used,
it has such a negative connotation.  I did read on the mailing lists a 
while

back that Lands End was using a beta 1 version of Struts 1.1 in production.
I think that says something in it's own right.  I'm sure there are others
doing the same.
There is an "open-source" mindset that I'm trying to slowly change in
our company.  I've tried to convince our management that beta "open-source"
is different than beta "commercial".  Open-source projects don't have
schedule deadlines that will affect the quarterly financial results.  
Hence,

they move a slower and strive for 100% perfection. If we do a thorough job
of testing, with a high-level of confidence, it might be possible to use
"beta" software
in production (in some instances).  One issue we do have with Struts,
however, is the
many other Jakarta Commons libraries that it depends upon.  Since we're
using other libraries that also uses the Jakarta-Commons libraries, we do
have compatability concerns.  For the beta releases of Struts, many of the
Jakarta-Comons
libraries used were simply nighty build versions.  Hence, it's a little
trickier trying to use a
"unofficially" released version of Struts vs. some project that has very
little, or no dependency on other libraries.
Additional thoughts on this are greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
JOHN

 First, sorry for the miscommunication.  I put the word valuable in
quotes to emphasize it's usefulness, not sarcasm.  If I doubted it's
usefulness, I would have done something like this: valuable?
 I guess I should use asterisks next time.
 Personally, I'm under the impression that a "RC" release is more than
just a regular nightly build.  From the Jakarta News page:

hence its designation as a release candidate."
From the "Binaries" page:

"Nightly Builds are those that are very unstable (a.k.a. dynamite!). 
We
have no confidence in them. They are for developers who are helping to

Obviously, every product is the result of a nightly build (final or
not).   I don't really want to get into a debate over "release" semantics.
I realize "Struts-EL" has only been released under the category of
"nightly".  Since it's so tightly coupled with Struts, I just thought it
would be nice if there was a compatible version for RC1.  I'm not saying it
has to be bug-free, but at least JSP code generation error free (i.e. the

I don't understand.  You say that David fixed the problem but you're still

You say that using nightlies is risky but you're using RC1 (which is a
nightly)!  Furthermore, Struts-EL is still in the contrib folder which 
gives

it a different status than the standard code base.

I don't understand.  You say that David fixed the problem but you're still 
unhappy?  RC1 != 1.1 final.  There will be bugs until the final version.  
You say that using nightlies is risky but you're using RC1 (which is a 
nightly)!  Furthermore, Struts-EL is still in the contrib folder which gives

it a different status than the standard code base. 

FYI, putting a word in quotes normally implies sarcasm.

David Karr said he fixed this problem in last night's Struts-EL build.  
This
means in order to pick up the fix, you have to migrate from the RC1 version
of Struts to a nightly build version (due to other changes made to the
regular Struts tags since the RC1 release -- otherwise you'll have
incompatability issues -- I think).  Many projects are reluctant to use
nightly builds (for obvious reasons).  Therefore, this hurts the overall
likelihood of other projects incorporating Struts-EL.   I would think that
the Struts-EL team would want to provide a version of their project that's
compatible with RC1.  This will allow for wider user base which would be
good for the overall project.  Doesn't this make sense or am I missing
something?

Thanks,

JOHN

P.S. I had these same problems with the beta 3 release.  My development 
team
is getting frustrated to the point that they're almost ready to punt with
Struts-EL.  No offense to the developers of Struts-EL.  We really 
appreciate
all the hard work you've put into this "valuable" subproject.  We're just
starting to get behind schedule and need some stability.
P.S.S. How come others aren't complaining about this?  Are we the only 
one's
trying to Struts-EL with RC1??

Hello John, I am using Weblogic 7, and I had similar problem with
earlier Struts-el, but I switched to Struts-el from a nightly build and
it worked fine.

I just fixed a bug in the attribute mapping for that class.  The fix will be in
the nightly build, which will hopefully be bundled into the next RC or full
release.
