Tapestry 4.0 (final) Released

Sat, 07 Jan 2006 00:00 GMT

After nearly two years of work, the Tapestry development team is proud to announce the next major release of the Tapestry web application framework. Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server. Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small amounts of Java code using (optional) XML descriptor files. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects -- and specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings true object oriented development to Java web applications. Tapestry is specifically designed to make creating new components very easy, as this is a routine approach when building applications. The distribution includes over fifty components, ranging from simple output components all the way up to complex data grids and tree navigators. Tapestry is architected to scale from tiny applications all the way up to massive applications consisting of hundreds of individual pages, developed by large, diverse teams. Tapestry easily integrates with any kind of backend, including J2EE, HiveMind and Spring. Tapestry 4.0 represents a significant advance over Tapestry 3.0. The following are the most significant changes between the two releases: The new 4.0 specification DTDs have been simplified. The syntax used for binding parameters inside an HTML template and inside an XML specification is now consistent. Both make use of binding prefixes. "Friendly" URLs (that is, URLs that pack more information into the path and less into query parameters) are built in. This makes it easy to divide your application across many folders (reducing clutter), and leverage J2EE declarative security along the way. Listener methods are much easier and more flexible; listener parameters in the URL are automatically mapped to listener method parameters, and listener methods can return the page name or page instance to activate. Component parameters now just work, without having to worry about "direction". Applications can now have a global message catalog, in addition to per-page and per-component message catalogs. Messages not found in the component message catalog are searched for in the application catalog. Full, native support for developing JSR-168 Portlets has been added. Tapestry 4.0 makes much less use of reflection and OGNL than Tapestry 3.0; partly because there are many new binding prefixes and largely because of how parameters are now implemented. HiveMind services and Spring beans can be directly injected into page and component classes. Tapestry 4.0 includes optional JDK 1.5 annotation support (but Tapestry still works with JDK 1.3). Tapestry 4.0 debuts a new and much more sophisticated user input validation subsystem. Line precise error reporting can now display the contents of files containing errors. Forms can now be canceled, bypassing client-side validation logic, and invoking an alternate listener on the server-side. You are no longer limited to just Global and Visit; you can have as many application state objects as you like. The use of HiveMind under the covers means that Tapestry can be easily customized to fit your needs. Page properties can now be persisted on the client, as well as in the session. Components and component parameters can now be marked as deprecated. Component parameters may have aliases (used when renaming a parameter). The examples have been rewritten to take full advantage of Tapestry 4.0 features, including annotations. Tapestry is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0. Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and an additional documentation distribution. Tapestry may be downloaded from the Apache Mirrors.

Tapestry 4.0-rc-3 Released

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 00:00 GMT

HiveMind 1.1 Released

Wed, 26 Oct 2005 00:00 GMT

The final 1.1 release of the HiveMind services and configuration microkernel has been released. HiveMind is an inversion-of-control container that mixes in a powerful approach to modularization and configuration. It is ideally suited for building richly extensible frameworks. Tapestry 4.0 is built on HiveMind. HiveMind overlaps in functionality with the very popular Spring framework, but offers a significant number of its own wrinkles ... and integrates very cleanly with Spring. Release 1.1 offers a significant number of improvements over 1.0. A few highlights: Services and configurations may now be private to a module, and not directly accessible from other modules. Lightweight initialization allows properties of an object instance to be configured without having to make the object a full-fledged service. The locale is now tracked on a per-thread basis, and may be changed at any time. Services may now be defined in terms of a Java class, not a Java interface. Groovy may be used, instead of XML, to define services and configurations. Modules may define a package; class names appearing in the XML may omit that package. Streamlined XML with much smarter defaults for many attributes. Support for AOP Alliance style method interception. Services may now be exposed via JMX for remote control, and to monitor performance. Much improved auto-wiring of services implementations, including automatic dependency injection via constructor parameters. Support for building services around the Gang Of Four Strategy and Chain of Command patterns. Configurations data may now be injected as a Map rather than a List, by defining the attribute used as a key. Conditional contribution, controlled by the presence (or absence) of classes, or JVM system properties. Service proxies may now be serialized and deserialized. HiveDoc has been improved, both in content and in presentation. Full details are available in the change log. Download HiveMind

Tapestry 4.0-beta-11 Released

Tomcat 5.5.12 is stable

Sun, 09 Oct 2005 00:00 GMT

Tomcat 5.5.12 has been voted a stable release after a testing period following the alpha distribution. There have been no code changes, so if you already have 5.5.12-alpha, you do not need to download 5.5.12 again. Thank you. This release is the last one to be done using the CVS repository at Apache. The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at Apache's repositories page. The move is expected to be complete within the next week. This release is also likely the last one to use the Jakarta pages. As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.

The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at Apache's repositories page. The move is expected to be complete within the next week. This release is also likely the last one to use the Jakarta pages. As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.

Right Commons-Cli 1.0 Jar Now In Java Repository

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:00 GMT

For many months, the Apache java repository has contained an unofficial snapshot named commons-cli-1.0 rather than the official 1.0 release. This jar has been mirrored to ibiblio and made available through Maven as commons-cli-1.0. I'd like to extend apologies to you all on behalf of the Jakarta team for this mistake. Sorry. The existing jar has now been replaced by the official 1.0 release. (This change may take several hours to work it's way through to the mirrors.) Maven users who use commons-cli directly or indirectly may be effected by this change. It is recommended that maven users should wait 24 hours (to allow the mirrors to sync) and then delete the version of commons-cli in their local repository. They should then rebuild and retest their code. It is recommended that all who can should switch to use the official release. There is a small risk that some code may be broken by this change. However, is no reason to suspect that the original jar has been tampered with: it is just wrongly named. For those who require it, it is available as commons-cli-20040117.000000 from ibiblio. Some users may need to update their project.xml to use this version (rather than the official release). Please direct any questions to the user list at Jakarta Commons. Robert

Commons Betwixt 0.7 Released

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00 GMT

Betwixt provides a flexible way to map beans into XML - and vice versa. Betwixt 0.7 is a feature release. A number of new strategies have been introduced to add flexibility. Improvements have been made to binding and introspection including improved support for polymophism. Improvements have been made to the dot betwixt file format including support for multiple specifications within the same file. Betwixt 0.7 is binary compatible with 0.6 but a number of changes have been made to some semantics. It is believed that the impact of these changes should be minimal. Download Commons Betwixt 0.7. Please remember to check the sum and verify the signature.

Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Taglib 1.0 Released

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00 GMT

The 1.0 release of the Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Taglib is now available. JSP 2.0 based Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) is a framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid development of voice and multimodal applications. Server-side generation of HTML has proven an effective way of generating the user interface for visual Web applications that are implemented using server-side application frameworks such as Struts. Over time, the effort involved in such HTML generation has been reduced by the availability of various JSP tag libraries that abstract away the minutiae of HTML markup. The goal of the RDC project is to achieve for voice applications what JSP tag libraries have already achieved in the world of visual Web applications. Downloads: Binaries and source distributions are available separately. The binaries contain web archives providing documentation, examples and sample applications; in addition to the RDC Taglib java archive and an external TLD for quick reference. Download RDC Taglib
