[XMLForm] RE: XMLForm changes

[Baxter, B. <Bre...@sc...>]

At last I have checked in my changes.  Basically I had to check out another
copy of the code and re-do all of my changes as I had originally checked it
out as "anonymous" and not with my SF user name.  Anyway, everything should
be in right now.  A few notes:

- I noticed that there are Eclipse .project and .classpath files, I did
nothing with these (I am an emacs guy).  If they don't work, then someone
will have to help me out.

- There appears to be a version of the .java and .class files checked in
under /webapp/WEB-INF/classes.  I assumed that this was a mistake and did
nothing with these files.  All my changes were to the .java files in /src
directory.

- I added the jakarta-oro and xalan jars to /webapp/WEB-INF/lib as these are
now required to build.

I did a clean check out and build (with ANT) and it built just fine for me.
I also ran a few sanity tests and things seemed to be working.  Let me know
if anyone finds a bug.

Thanks.
Brent

I have been running my changes locally, and things seem to be fine so far.
I'll try to get my changes checked in over the next day or two so that
others can start testing as well.

For those of you on the list that may be wondering what I am doing, here it
is in a nutshell.  Basically I want to use XMLForm on a project but I am
restricted to JDK 1.3.  There were several classes being used in the XMLForm
that are JDK 1.4 dependant, such as logging and regular expressions.  Ivelin
agreed that if I was willing to do the work, he would take the patches to
make the code non-JDK 1.4 dependent.  So, what I ended up doing was the
following:

- Removed references to java.util.regex.* and replaced them with
org.apache.oro.text.regex.*
- Removed references to java.util.logging.* and replaced them with
org.apache.commons.logging.*
- Compiled with Xalan 2.5.0 which deprecated org.apache.xalan.serializer.*
and replaced with org.apache.xml.serializer.*
- Using Xalan 2.5.0 also required me to change the content handler property
in XMLFormTransformerHandler on line 1293 to the following:

outputProperties.setProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}content-handler",
"org.apache.xml.serializer.ToXMLStream");

- I also have a bug fix that was causing only the first xf:violation to be
inserted into the XPath of the resulting document.  This was simply changing
the "break" to "continue" on line 740 of XMLFormTransformerHandler

Comments on any of these changes are welcomed.  Right now it is all local on
my machine, so it would be easy to change something now prior to checking it
all in.

Sounds good.

You should now have R/W permissions to the sf CVS.

Let me know when you are finished with the check-ins and testing so that I
can test myself.
