[JPublish-developer] JPublish 0.9 Released

[Anthony E. <me...@an...>]

Version 0.9 of the JPublish web application framework is now available
at http://www.jpublish.org/

JPublish is an open source web publishing framework which merges the
Velocity template engine from the Jakarta Apache group with a content
repository and application control framework.  Like all good web
frameworks, JPublish provides a clean separation of code, content, and
layout.

This release includes the following changes: Added module system.
Created FormProc module subproject.  Created EJB module subproject.
Page now uses ActionManager.findAction() to locate actions.
ActionManager.findAction() now looks in modules for actions in addition
to the original defined action map.  Added support for configurable
input encoding.  Upgraded to Velocity 1.2.  Removed all HTTP object
wrappers (no longer required).  Changed all instances of VelocityContext
to JPublishContext which extends VelocityContext.  Now exposing
SiteContext in the main Velocity context.  Changed the execute method in
the Action interface to execute(JPublishContext, Configuration).  All
actions are now wrapped in an ActionWrapper which allows actions to be
executed with a configuration.  syslog now exposed in script actions
regardless of whether or not there is a Velocity context (thus it is
available to startup actions).   Moved all action configuration into the
ActionManager.loadConfiguration() method.  Removed dom4j.  Now using
JAXP and Crimson.  Changed all context references from vc to context.
Removed old example site.  Added part three of the tutorial.

I have also released two modules: the FormProc module and the EJB
module.  They are available at http://www.jpublish.org/modules/

Anthony Eden
