My point precisely. I think, given the current culture of XWork, we're looking at WW 2.0 (major revision change) instead of XWork... and the "webwork" name becomes appropriate. On Mon, 13 Jan 2003, Michael Blake Day wrote: > Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you all rename WebWork to XWork > be

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you all rename WebWork to XWork because WebWork was a misnomer? If the framework remains web-centric, why not just call it WebWork 1.4? Blake Day > > On Saturday, January 11, 2003, at 03:29 AM, Rickard Öberg wrote: > >> This is a very difficult question. Separ

Making unnecessary changes, IMHO, is definitely 'making it unpleasant'. While I see that backward compatibility is too hard to keep (or so I'm told) given all that people want xwork to be, I really dislike the approach of change for changes sake. I deliberately avoided the very early versions o

No one is going to make it unpleasant... you can be sure of that. It'll be easier and more pleasant for everything. If you look at the CVS, I think you'll agree. Today I'm going to put in an Interceptor that reads a components.xml file, which contains a list of "components", and pulls three things
