Re: [validator] Towards a release
I believe I applied the form inheritance patch back in early 2004, and at the time we were trying to get a stable version of Validator out for Struts 1.2.X series and creating the Branch seemed the thing to do. 1.2 is also the version that David removed deprecated methods so releasing 1.2 seemed like it could wait incase any more refactoring took place that would further change the interface. -Rob David Graham wrote: If I remember right, 1.2 (HEAD) includes form inheritance which wasn't widely tested. Niall might remember more details. I think releasing 1.2.0 from HEAD would be fine so we don't have to go through the error prone process of maintaining two branches. Thanks for picking up the Validator torch!

I'm pretty new to validator, so I'm not familar with its history. Any reason we haven't released 1.2? In the past when I fixed bugs, folks backported them to the 1.1.x branch; why not just roll 1.2 or at least roll it in addition to a bug fix release for 1.1.x? There are a couple more validator open bugs that I can sew up, if I saw a release as a near-term possibility.

Re: Migrate to SVN?
Stephen Colebourne wrote: I remain unenthused by SVN, probably because I don't have to manage a CVS server. Effectively I'm -1, but I'm probably not going to fight. My main reason is that SVN does not appear to be that widely adopted yet. A sign that the time has come to migrate would be when Eclipse/Idea ships with SVN support built in. At the moment, I fear we may just scare off some potential users/contributers. IntelliJ 5.0 will have subversion support and based on past history the EAP should have SVN within 2 months, I am hoping sooner. JBuilder 11 has Subversion support also. If we are moving though, I would want the pain all at once. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Resources] When is the next release?
James Mitchell wrote: Unless I did something wrong, my search for issues on bugzilla turns up nothing, and I'm not sure what to make of issueTrackingUrl in project.xml. Does it mean that we should be using http://nagoya.apache.org/scarab/servlet/scarab/ or is it something that was just carried over when someone was creating this file? Using Maven to build and run the tests on this project fails. * Running ant test (with appropriate build.properties) will compile and test fine. * Running maven will compile fine, but does not copy the required .properties and .xml files needed by the tests. I don't know enough about Maven to determine whether this is configuration issue or a bug. So, with that out of the way, what exactly is stopping us from releasing commons-resources? Do we need more tests? Is there a checklist somewhere that I'm missing?

Re: [DBCP] AbandonedTrace - Connection Recovery
Danny Angus wrote: Serge et al, Further to my suggestion about using the Observer pattern for event notification w.r.t. point 4 (below) I forgot to mention that it also has the benefit of offering a compromise in the pro/anti recovery debate. Existing contentious code designed to reclaim or test connections need not be retired as it could still be made available re-factored into a listener, and attached at runtime by the user. Users can use, extend or ignore DBCP's own listeners at their discretion shifting the decision from the developers to the users where, judging by the debate, it probably belongs. I don't have a vote in DBCP... Using the Observer pattern seems a fine approach, especially since the functionality was Voted on some time ago. Further, it sounds like you have tried to take others concerns into account, and discussed the issue. My 2 cents, It also follows that DBCP need not then impose a single Jakarta-approved strategy, but could easily be shipped with a number of implementations of different strategies, chosen between and attached at runtime by the user or by DBCP itself in response to configuration settings. 4. Provide some kind of extensible connection object that could allow someone to add their own (possibly included but optional) way to recover abandoned connections. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Rob Leland
Re: [validator] regexp tests, patches for tests
adam kramer wrote: Hello all, never posted to the list, but I've been lurking for a bit. Bug 17799 http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17799 brought up that '/'s were not being escaped in regular expression patterns (masks) so I decided to look into it. I found out that when I included '/'s in the regexp value and did not escape them, a matching value for the regexp passed regardless. I decided to formalize this with some unit tests that cover one pattern with '/'s and another phone number pattern just to verify that regexp pattern (masks) matching is working ok. I've attached a RegexpTest.java file and another file of patches to get it to run with 'ant test'. All tests are a go. If I should include patches and new code in the body of the email just let me know. I figured it might get passed up if I posted new code to bug database. Some projects like it posted to the list like you have done, and other like a bugzilla report filed. IN THIS CASE a Bugilla report is appropiate for Validator, I know it can be confusing, but please do file a Bugilla report, an account , http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi, only takes 20 seconds and only required a valid email address from you. -Rob Thanks, Adam Kramer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Static methods are a necessary evil in OO languages and should be avoided when possible. I disagree. Static functions are similar to Aspect Oriented Programming, such as AspectJ which centrializes code across many classes that is similar in functionality. This eliminates duplicate code, and increases maintainability. http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/ -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is nothing magic about static methods that make them more maintainable than non-statics.

The fact that the methods are static is beside the point. -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
