StrutsCX - Struts with XSLT

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: strutscx_v0.9.1

Notes:


Changes:
<ul>
              <li> Added the (optional ) concept of <strong>strutscx-definitions</strong>. 
                Check out the<a href="howto.php"> <em>How-To</em></a> section 
                for details. </li>
              <li>Implemented <strong>multiple transformations</strong> for 'pure' 
                server side XSL Stylesheets (no FOP or client side XSL). Therefore 
                a the replacement of the XMLProperties with an JDOM Document object 
                was necessary. There is more flexibility now to handle the properties. 
                StrutsCX v0.9 and before users: Changes have been made to the 
                following classes:<br/>
                - <strong>StrutsCXBaseAction</strong><br/>
                - <strong>StrutsCXBaseActionHelper</strong><br/>
                - <strong>StrutsCXPropertiesReader</strong><br/>
                - <strong>All Actions</strong> classes<br/>
                Because we do handle a Document object and not longer an XMLProperties 
                object you should to the following in your Actions:<br/>
                Everywhere you try to read properties out of the strutscx-config.xml 
                use JXPath. This allows you to read in the properties with a simple 
                XPath statement. Here an example: Do this 
                <pre>JXPathContext props = 
    JXPathContext.newContext(properties);
String xslFile = (String)
    props.getValue("/properties/section/info/xsl/" 
	+ viewtype + "/" + activity);</pre>
                instead of 
                <pre>String xslFile = 
    properties.getProperty("section.info.xsl." 
	+ viewtype + "." + activity);</pre>
                When you pass the <em>lang</em> property to the InfoDelegate use 
                <pre>(String) props.getValue("/properties/lang")</pre>
                instead of 
                <pre>properties.getProperty("lang")</pre>
                Thats pretty much straight forward. </li>
              <li>The use of <strong>com.oreily.javaxml2.XMLProperties is deprecated</strong> 
                and not supported any longer. </li>
              <li>All the Struts classes are packaged in the<strong> strutscx.jar</strong> 
                now an you'll find them in the /WEB-INF/lib/strutscx.jar package. 
                So the /WEB-INF/classes folder is empty. Added the <strong>JXPath</strong> 
                Jar to the /WEB-INF/lib folder 
                <table border="1">
                  <tr>
                    <td>StrutsCX</td>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                    <td>strutscx-v0.9.1.jar</td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr> 
                    <td> JXPath</td>
                    <td> &nbsp;&nbsp; </td>
                    <td> commons-jxpath-1.1b1.jar</td>
                  </tr>
                </table>
              </li>
              <li>Changes to the <strong>strutscx-config.xml </strong>are now 
                possible during runtime, too. </li>
              <li><strong>StrutsCXConstants</strong> a parameter for the strutscx-config.xml 
                has been added. </li>
              <li>Implemented these changes in the <strong>StrutsCX prototype</strong>.</li>
