Re: [PROPOSAL] subproject that's a home for bricks reusable in java web applications

2005-06-17 Thread Frank W. Zammetti
Java Web Parts is the name of the SF project I began that is exactly 
what is being described here.  Not that I have a trademark on it or 
anything, and besides, I don't have enough lawyers to trademark common 
words, like oh, I don't know, Windows?!? :)


Incidentally, I was one of the people involved in those threads 
discussing this idea... I could be persuaded to fold my work into this 
subproject, but I would like to see that the consensus on direction is 
similar to what I've done.  Perhaps I should briefly describe my project...


It is what we are discussing here: a repository for small, generally 
independent components of interest to general Java webapp developers. 
It consists of a number of packages including Filters, Servlets, 
Taglibs, Request (general request-related utilities), Response (general 
response-related utilities and Session (I think you see the pattern!). 
Right now I have 3 filters, 1 servlet and some miscellaneous code in the 
other packages... There will likely be more after tonight in CVS.


In fact, the only packages with nothing at this point is the Response 
and Taglib packages.


I have a list of over a dozen things I intend to build over the next few 
weeks.  Also included in all this is a single webapp that demonstrates 
and tests all components.  Some others have expressed interest in 
contributing as well and I am awaiting their code to add.


Each of these packages gets JARed separately, so a developer can pick 
and choose as they see fit.  Cross-package dependencies are to be 
frowned upon, unless it is an absolute necessity.  Also, external 
dependencies are to be kept to a minimum.


Again, since I originally made a proposal for a Commons Filters project 
and just expanded on that in starting Java Web Parts, I would still have 
interest in working with Jakarta instead.  There is definite benefit to 
doing that.  But I would have to believe the vision for the project is 
in line, at least mostly, with what I had planned.  But if finding 
people to do the work is what is needed to get such a project off the 
ground at Jakarta, I'm here, I'm willing and have in fact already begun 
the work in essence.

opinions, please!



I am in favour of this, although whether I would be able to spare much 
time is debatable.


In particular, I think that a browser recognition component would be an 
example of something that would fit well in this location.


Perhaps named webparts?

   Commons-HttpClient 
  
+ 3.0 RC2 fixed a number of bugs and we will be having one more RC release 
shortly as a few more have popped up.  Jakarta HttpClient is starting to come 
together in SVN.  This work has been lead by Oleg Kalinchevski and it's looking 
really good.  HttpClient 4.0 should prove to be a really flexible, reusable, 
and powerful release.
+ 
   Commons-Jelly 
  
  The previous release of Jelly had proven to be stable for several months, and 
after the memory leak was corrected and underwent sufficient testing, it was 
decided to release version 1.0 as a stable base on June 16. This is the first 
stable release of Jelly.
