Re: [VOTE-RESULT] Steve Raeburn as a Struts Committer
Here are some tips I have gathered from using WinCVS and Cygwin's ssh client over the years: 1) Use one of the latest beta releases of WinCVS. I'm using 1.3b13 now. The 1.3 betas have better support for connecting with ssh. I have authentication set to ssh on the Preferences dialog and none of the boxes checked on the associated Settings... dialog. The 1.3 betas are as stable as 1.2 in my experience, so don't fear the beta. 2) Set your CVS_RSH environment variable to the path to Cygwin's ssh program. Mine is set to c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe. 3) Do not install Cygwin's cvs package. Instead, put the WinCVS directory in your path. It used to be something like C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.3, but the recent WinCVS betas have moved the cvs.exe program to a subdirectory, so now I have C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.3\CVSNT in my PATH instead. 4) I don't like the default location for my home directory, so I have a HOME environment variable set to what I want it to be, c:\home\mcooper in my case. SSH uses HOME to find your SSH keys, so this allows you to control where it looks for them. I have them in my c:\home\mcooper\.ssh directory. 5) If you wish to use CVS from the Cygwin command line, you might need to set a variable in your .bash_profile (also in your HOME directory). The problem is that Cygwin may convert the value of the CVS_RSH environment variable to a Cygwin-style path, and the cvs.exe program from WinCVS won't be able to run ssh with the Cygwin style path. The solution is to explicitly set CVS_RSH back to a Windows-style path in .bash_profile (or .bashrc). I have export CVS_RSH=c:\\cygwin\\bin\\ssh.exe in mine for this purpose (note the double \'s). 6) Using ssh -v from the command line to make a connection can be a useful way to debug connection problems. With the verbose option (-v), ssh will print out a bunch of messages about connection progress.

After a fun time battling with my CVS over SSH setup on Windows 2000, I've finally managed to make a teensy commit to the docs (baby steps to begin with). I have a couple of questions that perhaps those more battle-hardened souls could help with. First, I get a very long delay while authenticating ( 90 seconds). On an interactive logon it also happens and the delay is between the username and password prompts. Is this normal? Secondly, because of problems I was experience with the W2K setup, I tried using SSH from both Cygwin and Linux (RH9). In both cases I received the server key the first time I connected but got no further response until the server dropped the connection a couple of minutes later. Do I need to add any configuration for SSH to be able to connect to the Apache server? This one is probably just my lack of Unix knowledge, but if anyone happens to recognize the problem and have an answer handy it would be much appreciated.

Re: Status check?
I've gotten some requests for a list of library file versions for my SecurityFilter project, so I've been looking into automatically creating a file that lists the library file versions as part of my build. The idea was to use the version information from the manifest files from the jars. However, many projects do not provide this information in their jars, or at least not the correct info. The commons projects are pretty good compared to the other dependencies I have, but commons-beanutils reports 1.6 for the 1.6.1 release, and commons-digester has 1.5 (with the quotes) for the 1.5 release. The quotes aren't a big deal since anyone reading it would correctly recognize it as the 1.5 release. But commons-beanutils would mislead you to think you had 1.6 when it was really 1.6.1. commons-logging has good version info commons-codec has a good Implementation-Version number (which is what I would use anyway) commons-collections has good version info jakarta-oro is pretty good, but adds a date and time to the Implementation-Version in additon to the correct version number, which might be confusing I'm not sure about other commons (oops, I mean jakarta-commons ;-)) projects. I think it is ideal to set things up so you can just do a cvs checkout or update with a tag to get all the files you need to build a particular release. It seems weird to tag another project's tree with your release, though, if the current setup would require tagging commons project trees when there is a Struts release. This is perhaps a good reason to commit the library jars in the struts CVS tree, or do something Maven-like where your project specifies what versions of external dependencies you need and it retrieves them into a shared local repository. I think there is an Ant extension that will do retrieval like Maven. I don't know if you guys ever do this, but I have in the past moved some files CVS repositories by moving the repository file (ends in ,v) itself. After doing that a few times, I have given up the practice since it screws up the history -- the file will be in the wrong place if you do a checkout based on a tag that existed before the move. It's better to just remove the old file and add it in the new location with a CVS client rather than mucking with the repository files, but you get a discontinuity in the history that way. I am hopeful that Subversion will support real moves, and will catch on enough to displace CVS some day. -Max - Original Message - From: David Graham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 1:48 PM Subject: Re: Status check? It makes more sense to me to *not* tag the commons files with Struts. The commons doesn't need to be notified every time Struts cuts a release. The commons jars contain version information in their manifests so it would be very easy to recreate an old Struts build by looking there.

Re: Status check?
I have been struggling with this for another project, too. Ideally, it would be great to have a continuous integration build that would also deploy and test the app(s) in a bunch of containers automatically. You'd still have to install and configure some deployment details, of course, but it would be nice to have a machine with a bunch of containers on it that would run and test builds in all of them automatically. I imagine the same system could be used to deploy to a developer's favorite container or containers for local testing on a much smaller scale. Are there any projects out there intended to make it easier to test the same app(s) in a variety of containers? -Max - Original Message - From: Ted Husted [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Developers List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 3:39 PM Subject: Re: Status check?

And then for Cactus, I take it we would run TC 3.3 against Servlet 2.2, and TC 4.x against Servlet 2.3, as that would be the expected use. -Ted. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Very OT: Java Reflection?
There doesn't seem to be direct help. Perhaps you could do this, or find a
utility method somewhere that does it for you:
Method method = null;
Class cls = this.getClass();
while (method == null cls != null) {
method = cls.getMethod(methodName, args);
cls = cls.getSuperClass();
}
Please post the answer if you find a good one.

Subject: Very OT: Java Reflection?
Someone care to help me out on OT reflection?
Here is the situation:
My base class has a reflection (in execute) that does this :
Method eventMethod = this.getClass().getMethod(methodName, args);
and same class has
onDefaultExec() {}
(or full code here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/ROOT/src/basicWeb
Lib/org/apache/basicWebLib/dispatch/BaseTilesActionHandler.java
)
The concrete (derived) class works great with reflection, it calls the
method in that class.
However, the problem is that if the concrete class does not have a
reflected method, it won't go look back in the base class for the method
name. In my case onDefaultExec and others are in base, not the instance
class.
To restate, if I reflect for a method that is concrete class, great, but
when I reflect for a method for a base class I get
reflect.InvocationTargetException
It's not looking back.
?

Vic

[OT] more editor musing
I used to use a regular text editor for writing Java, after having tried or used Visual Studio, Visual Cafe, JBuilder, Supercede, etc. in the past and found them not worth the inertia of starting and editing with them. But I tried IntelliJ IDEA after some co-workers started raving about it, and I will never go back. It does so many cool things that I feel totally unproductive without it now. Refactorings, good search and replace, CVS integration, Ant integration, JUnit integration, code reformatting, key bindings for every command as a rule (good for the kings of the keyboard), alternate key bindings (Emacs, others), continuous code analysis (highlight unused variables, etc.), smart XML and JSP editing, easily debug code running on your app server, etc. And it is easy to do all this stuff. Sure, it is possible to do some of these things with other editing systems, but IDEA makes it easy and does things smartly (it knows which 'i's in the current file are really the variable you want to rename, rather than replacing every 'i' in the file). Being able to do something easily is often the difference between doing it and not doing it -- IDEA empowers you by making lots of useful things easy to do. Rename a class and it will remove the file from CVS, add it under its new name, update all references to the file, etc. with just a few clicks (or key presses). It is pure Java, so you can use it on any platform. I won't lie -- it can be slow sometimes -- but unlike other IDEs I have tried, the features it offers far outweigh the performance disadvantage versus a native text editor. And even though it can be slow sometimes, I don't really find myself waiting for it very often (besides startup). We have people around the office using it on 466 Celeron systems, so I guess it is fast enough. The IntelliJ IDEA motto is Develop with Pleasure and they certainly deliver on that promise. I am not affiliated with IntelliJ in any way other than loving their IDEA product. If it sounds like something you might like, download an evaluation version and give it a try: http://www.intellij.com/idea/download.jsp -Max -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
