Doulos Enterprise Application Toolkit / News: Recent posts

Although at least one project was successfully developed using the PHP Doulos Web Application Framework, its development has been discontinued. This conclusion has been reached upon realizing that J2EE provides a much more excellent solution to creating enterprise applications than Doulos could ever hope to be in either Python or PHP. See the doulos-devel list for more decision-making details.

Development in J2EE of a unified administrative suite for non-profits has commenced at http://daniel.sourceforge.net/

Whereas Doulos was previously a simple MVC framework for writing web apps in PHP, Doulos is now expanded to being a set of tools (including multiple frameworks) for writing n-tier distributed applications in Python. Development is now underway to achieve this new vision, and the old PHP framework will remain available under the package name "doulos-old"

Minor changes and improvements

New features include a more powerful Ctrl object that abstracts permissions checking and allows for internal redirects to other Ctrl objects, as well as the usual bug fixes

New features include a sample app to illustrate how to use the framework, as well as basic MySQL support.
Also has minor bug fixes, improvements to the tutorial.

The first release of the Doulos Web Application Framework is now available. Download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87398&release_id=176640
