Nope, same problem with maven 2.0.7.
Actually in Jan you filed yourself a bugreport
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2782 where ${project.version} was
resolved to 2.4.1. (You were then still using JDK1.4.2?)
Yes, I used 1.4.2
Reading http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Refactoring+Interpolation
I gather the problem it is deeply rooted in maven and may be tackled
only with maven 2.1.x.
Yes, unfortunately - I still don't get why maven does not simply replace
the properties on deployment. sigh.

I guess that is due an endorsed Xalan/Xerces problem.

This is really getting out of hands. I am now dumping 1.4.2.

Re: Clarification on converter concept
Joerg Heinicke pisze: In a state full scenario we are keeping the form object in e.g. a session, so the form template generator could store the associations between property paths and formating variants in the form object as well. These associations are then available to use when parsing the input from the post. And we can make sure that the right variant of the converter is used. Doesn't that tie both CForms and CTemplate together? Imagine using only one of both - which would break the concept. My understanding is that this approach ties CForms to EL and CTemplate to EL so EL functionality becomes a bridge for two way communication. I also wonder how you are going to use CForms without CTemplate? You must use some template mechanism to produce data representing form and its state. In a stateless scenario, we could instead store the assoications in the form page. We could e.g. add it to the property path in the name attribute: tasks.2.startDate#short. Then the post parser can use the variant info for choosing the right converter. That's an interesting approach. IMO it should always work this way, not like the above one for stateful form-processing. Same feelings here. This would make whole processing easier to follow, wouldn't it? And actually we are back to the Spring way using the path, aren't we? There is only the minor difference of using the full path vs. the anchor. The anchor adds additional flexibility since it can be specified in contrary to the generated path. My impression is that there is a more serious difference between the concepts. While using Daniel's approach you attach converter to the certain path by choosing its variant when you actually pull the data. It doesn't matter if you pull it in form model or template. Spring approach is about attaching everything in advance. I only really don't know if that flexibility is good. I mean you talked about scattered locale handling. This solution now tends to scattered variant handling IMO. I also don't know how it conforms with Parr's requirements for a template language. Doesn't this variant selection go very much into the direction of assumption about the data type? I can live with this concept but actually I prefer the path stuff of Spring much more since this is completely transparent to the template. It also completely decouples the object-to-string conversion from the templating while with the select a variant-approach in the template the conversion can not be done without the template. Both are good points. I would be very interested in Daniel's response... It would be like having id selectors but not class selectors in CSS. I think this comparison is misleading. IMO path and variant are really similar concepts. It's only the way where/how they were specified and so the converter is selected. I support Daniel's view. You can apply certain variant to several different paths. Actually, the point is that we could treat Daniel's proposal in Spring terms. Then it turns out that Daniel's proposal is about registering several converters for every possible path and use variant to choose one from the list (if default is not satisfying). Since, it's all about registering for every possible path (assuming that there is suitable converter for each object) and registering more than one converter it's conceptually different from Spring's approach. I hope that paragraph didn't confuse things even more... The new approach using PropertyEditorRegistrar externalizes this into another component. But that one has no access to the request information and so can not even create locale-specific converters. What I know asked myself: How I am supposed to do this at all with Spring? I will file an issue at Spring's Jira requesting an improvement about a locale-aware registry. My hope is that this might get fixed for Spring 2.1 since I consider this really important and generic enough to be of use in Spring in general. Then we do not even need to modify/ replace this part of Spring's converter infrastructure. Otherwise I would reuse as much as possible of this infrastructure though. It's only the registry part that needs modification/ replacement. Therefore dropping the complete infrastructure does not make much sense IMO. So how far are we from an overall agreement and Grek implementing this for us ;-) I would happy to do it, but I'd be very grateful if we come with strong and detailed agreement. I started to implement Object Model several days ago without detailed vision and the whole development turned out to be fairly painful because I found hard to design something that covers so broad subject like universal Object Model usable for whole Cocoon. I hope it will be easier with converters because all this struggle scared me a little bit. -- Grzegorz Kossakowski http://reflectingonthevicissitudes.wordpress.com/

Sitemap use its own EL handling implementation. My main goal is to refactor EL usage in Cocoon so one set of interfaces and mechanisms is
used everywhere. This will bring consistency across all the Cocoon and easier usage. E.g. today it's rather hard to use input module in
template, after my refactorings input modules will be replaced by EL mechanisms and if you create your own EL implementation you will be
able to use it everywhere.
That's why we need to introduce map language. In a fact, map language exists already there, we just need to refactor it so it fits in
unified architecture.

The expression itself and the context it is evaluated in. This expression context stores all information in it the expression can or needs to access like for example the namespaces. From what I see there is only one expression context during the rendering of a template at the moment. It might be necessary to create one expression-specific per expression. They can then also be expression language specific and Expression.evaluate() could retrieve expression language specific information like namespaces from it. The current ExpressionContext would get a very simple interface not aware of concepts like namespaces. Since those things need to get injected on instantiation of the ExpressionContext there also needs to be somthing that keeps track of those things. These track-keepers have different information needs per expression language, so they need to be registered somewhere. Hmm, this sounds like a major change - maybe not even reasonable without knowing how it is really supposed to work. Does it make sense? Maybe you should really go with the simple and fat solution for the moment since those expression language specifics are in at the moment anyway. Joerg

Hi Andrew,
your ideas sound absolutely reasonable. I appreciate every improvement
to the integration of JSP or servlets in general though I don't use it
myself (yet). In 2.1 I would really opt for a new source. I only wonder
if this is necessary at all in 2.2. I got the impression (just from
mailing list) it should be quite easy to integrate Cocoon with other
servlets but somebody with actual knowledge might add more details here.
What I for example would really like to have is a CocoonView for
Spring's ViewRendererServlet or use Cocoon as replacement for the
ViewRendererServlet.
Yep, you are right Joerg and Andrew, servlet-service-fw is the way to go.
Basically, you need to register JSP servlet as Spring bean, then you can
connect to it from other servlet (Cocoon block) using its bean's Id
and use servlet:/ source for this. Take a look at:
[1] for servlet configuration as spring bean
[2] for demo servlet itself
Ah, that might be a problem then. In Websphere 6 (and presumably later
versions too), the JSP engine isn't actually a servlet any more - they use a
new server extension architecture to handle requests for JSPs (I assume
through some interception mechanism). In our existing 2.1.x app, I got it
working by creating a new JSPEngine implementation that looks up the
RequestDispatcher for the supplied URL and calls include or forward directly on
that (instead of using JSPEngineImplNamedDispatcherInclude to look up JSP 1.2
Processor servlet, which I'd been doing on WAS 5.x). **
How would that fit into the servlet-service-fw?
Andrew.
** NB I also had to remove the *.jsp servlet mapping from the Cocoon
servlet, so JSPs are now run directly by the container instead of going through
Cocoon first. It means you can't have Cocoon map whatever.jsp requests to
some other pipeline that doesn't call the JSP engine, but we weren't doing that
anyway. Without it, however, pipelines like
would go into an endless loop as the foo/{1}.jsp request is also directed
through Cocoon and matches the same pipeline...
All needed functionality is already there and working, it's a matter of
providing sample and (really preferably) some documentation how to
utilize servlet-service-fw functionality to integrate with JSP.

This needs to get flattened on PropertyEditorRegistrar.registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry) to match PropertyEditorRegistry.registerCustomEditor(Class type, String path, PropertyEditor editor). bean class=MapBasedPropertyEditorRegistrar constructor-arg index=0 map key-type=java.lang.Class entry key=MyDataType value=MyDataTypeEditor/ entry key=MyOtherDataType map entry value=defaultMyOtherDataTypeEditor keynull//key /entry entry key=object.property value=specialMyOtherDataTypeEditor/ /map /entry /map /constructor-arg /bean It now gets a problem since there seems to be no obvious way to automatically register editors with path - except some more complex way of (mis)using the bean's name. Hmm, what about (adapting the EL registry way): bean name=MyDataTypeEditor/path#variant class=MyDataTypeEditor/ with both path and variant being optional. This still lacks the registering for our third criteria, the locale. So I wonder if we don't need a different style of registering anyway. Spring configurator stuff is really handy and has no Cocoon dependencies so its wise to use it. Joerg, you seem to sit inside Spring community, have you considered giving Carsten a present by promoting his stuff? I really think it should get more attention. :-) Hmm, was the first time I had a look into it today. I can't say if this all is of general use. Do you think of moving this stuff or parts of it to Spring (that would be actually up to Carsten IMO) or just get more users to it? For the latter it would be good to have documented what's there and how it is supposed to be used. The documentation at Daisy is a bit spare. Joerg

My main goal is to refactor EL usage in Cocoon so one set of interfaces and mechanisms is used everywhere. This will bring consistency across all the Cocoon and easier usage. That's why we need to introduce map language. In a fact, map language exists already there, we just need to refactor it so it fits in unified architecture. Makes sense, thanks for the explanation :-) Joerg

Of course, we won't need all of them because many components will be replaced by own project. Other things that come to mind is updating our poms, writing JIRA welcome page: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON, creating versions and so on. Lots of tedious work. I'd be happy to take advantage of your help! What are your plans? I'd be able to start on Monday, I guess. I can do the Jira things. Haven't worked with Maven yet, so that's probably not my part. The first steps is to be done by infra anyway, isn't it? Joerg

Re: JSP integration

If you could explain what could be a possible problem I would try to answer according to my knowledge. Me neither. My last project was the first with JSP and that's purely in the portlet environment. So no request dispatcher or other stuff. You can have a look at the implementation of the 2.1's JSP block and the different JSPEngine implementations [1]. This kind of integration always caused many different kinds of problems, some things (forward and include) were not supported at all. As a side-note: If particular servlet must be managed by servlet container can't we create servlet (as a Spring bean) that would forward all requests to the JSP servlet using request dispatcher: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=206736 ? No idea. Never worked on that level. Joerg [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/src/blocks/jsp/java/org/apache/cocoon/components/jsp/

On 13.07.2007 20:38, Andrew Stevens wrote: In our existing 2.1.x app, I got it working by creating a new JSPEngine implementation that looks up the RequestDispatcher for the supplied URL and calls include or forward directly on that (instead of using JSPEngineImplNamedDispatcherInclude to look up JSP 1.2 Processor servlet, which I'd been doing on WAS 5.x). What about Grek's idea? Creating a Cocoon-controlled servlet that does exactly this? I also had to remove the *.jsp servlet mapping from the Cocoon servlet, so JSPs are now run directly by the container instead of going through Cocoon first. I don't get it. How does this match with the above? Why do you need a JSPEngine implementation if Cocoon does not handle the JSP requests anyway? Joerg
