Re: [S2] Release Plan for 2.0.8
2007/6/5, David H. DeWolf [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The tiles 2.0.4 vote was recapped today (and passed as the first tiles2 beta). Antonio is working on finalizing/pushing the release. The struts2-tiles plugin depends upon 2.0.3, which is already released, so I'm not sure what the holdup is. In fact Tiles 2.0.4 is both on Maven repo and in Apache dist. I think that migrating from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 consists of some code change. For an end-user perspective, the changes regard the configuration (in web.xml), where the parameter names have been completely refactored. But anyway, I think that Struts 2.0.8 can be released, the Tiles plugin can be released separately when the Tiles 2.0.4 support will be available. Antonio
RE: [S2] Release Plan for 2.0.8
Hi, I'm coming from the user side of the fence and having looked at the release notes for tiles 2.0.4 I'd urge you to go with 2.0.4 even if it means delaying the stuts 2.0.8 release a little. There are a couple of reasons for this; 1) The performance enhancement detailed at https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-87, which could be very useful in high volume sites. 2) 2.0.4 seems to have been tagged on the same day as 2.0.3 (both votes started on the 18th of May, the 2.0.4 vote started 2 hours after the 2.0.3 one). Personally it makes me a bit nervous to go with a release that appears to have been superceeded 2 hours later. Hopefully Antonio can shed some light on this.

[S2] JARs in plugins
Hi everyone... I'm writing my first S2 plugin and I'm running into a problem, which may well just be one of understanding. I had thought that any JAR placed in the root of the plugin JAR would be added to the path, but this seemingly isn't the case. My understanding is that a plugin JAR is a self-contained entity, and this to me means it should include any JARs it is itself dependant on. So, is my understanding correct, and assuming so, how can I get those internal JARs available? I should note that I'm looking for the included JARs to be available not only to my plugin code but *also* to code in the webapp its a part of, which maybe isn't possible? If it isn't, is there any potential for conflict by having the same JAR within the plugin JAR and also in WEb-INF/lib of the webapp? Guidance is appreciate whataver the answer(s). Thanks all!

Re: [S2] JARs in plugins
No, I wouldn't want to repack JARs... we actually do that with Java Web Parts with a couple of Commons packages, but what I'm working on now has a larger number of dependencies and they are a little more complex. Definitely wouldn't want to do any bytecode manipulation either, or any other voodoo for that matter ;) If a plugin is to be truly drop in and go, that kind of implies all dependencies are included, doesn't it? That's what my naive little mind had in its brain LOL... if that's not the case, so be it, I'll just need to document the dependencies and modify my build script a little, not the end of the world. That wouldn't make a terrible S2 enhancement though, the ability to (optionally) unpack any JARs in a plugin JAR and add them to the classpath (not even sure you can do that dynamically). Would let developers make plugins truly self-contained and also ensure proper versioning of dependent libraries... of course, there's that nagging conflicting versions issue, so maybe not such a great idea :( Thanks, Frank -- Frank W.

If there was a way to ensure you didn't have two versions of the same class in two different JARs I might feel differently, but I suspect that's not possible, not without something a bit drastic like writing a custom classloader... I for one certainly don't want to go there :) All this does however, to me anyway, mean that plugins can't really be called self-contained, and saying ...can extend the framework just by adding a JAR to the application's classpath in the documentation isn't 100% accurate (99% maybe). Ok, well, doesn't matter, I made my changes and have things working now, so thanks for the clarification on this guys. Frank @Phil: last time I tried to get OSGi and Struts together I failed miserably, I even feel dumber after that :). Someday I will try again, but that time I will actually read OSGi documentation first. musachy On 6/6/07, Frank W. Zammetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No, I wouldn't want to repack JARs... we actually do that with Java Web Parts with a couple of Commons packages, but what I'm working on now has a larger number of dependencies and they are a little more complex. Definitely wouldn't want to do any bytecode manipulation either, or any other voodoo for that matter ;) If a plugin is to be truly drop in and go, that kind of implies all dependencies are included, doesn't it? That's what my naive little mind had in its brain LOL... if that's not the case, so be it, I'll just need to document the dependencies and modify my build script a little, not the end of the world.

I am pretty sure these are genuine bugs, my humble nature just prohibits me from making bold claims without leaving room for the possibility of me being wrong. From our perspective, filing an issue in JIRA is a bolder claim than posting the same message to the user list. (Of course, no one is offended. We are glad you are taking the time to participate!) More people follow the mailing list than the dev list or JIRA tickets. Posting to the user list first provides the opportunity for other users to find a usage error, or to confirm that it is problem, perhaps one that other people have found and have already reported. The title and content of the tickets is fine for the user list, and we would suggest that you repost the same material there. To answer the initial question, the time varies, which is another good reason to post to the user list first! -Ted. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
