Hehe.. I'm still on the list of course, but have been hit by a surprise,
extremely-time-consuming project in the last couple of weeks. I intend
to respond to the last few days' posts tonight, as well as do a little
bug fixing/refactoring of Simper in the short term. Thanks everyone for
the interest and for the kick in the pants for me to do something.

I agree. But maybe we could wait that Simper works with one single
database ?=20
Maybe (sure !) some bugs are remaining. What do you thnik of using
Junit to validate the framewrok ?

what data types are missing ?

2. Others suggestions & propositions=20
************************************

using DynaActionForm
--------------------
=20
In the Author class, Bryan wrote "The ActionForm for the Author data
entry. Sigh.. Some day we'll use DynaBeans for this."
With Struts 1.1, his dream comes true ! We can use DynaActionForm class
which implements DynaBean.
=20
Using it I have replaced the following classes :
- org.netmeme.simper.demo.forms.Author
- org.netmeme.simper.demo.forms.Book
- org.netmeme.simper.demo.actions.AuthorAdd
- org.netmeme.simper.demo.actions.BookAdd
=20
by one single generic class :
- org.netmeme.simper.demo.actions.AddAction=20
Because I am lazy, I have added a method "copyDynaProperties" to
SimperBean which copies=20
the properties of the DynaActionForm for all cases where the property
names are the same.
This is supposed=20
=20
I have also updated the Sruts-config.xml to handle DynaActionForm, Here
is an example :
<form-bean name=3D"author"
type=3D"org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
<form-property name=3D"id" type=3D"java.lang.Integer"/>
<form-property name=3D"name" type=3D"java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name=3D"email" type=3D"java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
=20
Please find a war containing all the source-code on this url :
http://rollerjm.free.fr/pro/simper/simper-demo-dyna.war
=20
Sorry, it is a "light" warn bc the Web-inf/lib directory does not
contain the jars (except the latest commons-beanutils.jar).
=20
=20
XML Configuration file
----------------------
=20
In Simper class, Bryan wrote :=20
" Following are registration methods, used by client code to set up the
framework.
It would be nice at some point to move such stuff to an XML file,
rather than client code
(currently, the user must create a class which implements
ISimperInit)."
=20
As I am a newbie in XML, I am volunteer to program this stuff.
=20
I am curious, is there anybody else thant Jerry and me in this list ?

Jean-Michel, Good Idea. Simper could then be used in other non-Servlet 2.3 (even standalone) applications. What would the interface look like? Some other To-Dos: - Rewrite IInet to read tables and queries from XML file(s). - Add a registerView method that would use a SQL SELECT thus allowing databases that do not support views to be used (e.g. mySQL). - Allow registration of tables from more than one connection. - Add additional data types.
