Re: [Springframework-developer] Post - 1.1.4 --> 1.2?

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

Alef,

This hasn't been decided yet. I wouldn't mind doing a 1.1.5 release to get
minor things out quicker, as it is unrealistic to expect 1.2 RC1 out before
late March (with production-suitable JMX, JCA CCI, Hibernate3, and Cayenne
support).

Regarding the excel view stuff: Couldn't we implement a solution that
doesn't break all current AbstractExcelView usages out there? Maybe keep
AbstractExcelView POI-based and add a separate AbstractJExcelView? I know
that it's not ideal from a naming perspective, but I'm a bit reluctant to
make a non-backwards-compatible change in such a class that users typically
extend - even without a phase of deprecation.

There won't be hardly any shared logic between POI and JExcel anyway, so I
actually don't think that we need a common base class for those web views.
Implementing a separate AbstractJExcelView class would certainly be
possible. We could even add an AbstractPoiExcelView class that carries POI
in the name, keeping AbstractExcelView as a deprecated subclass of it for
the time being. That would be backwards-compatible!

If we implement such a compatible solution for JExcel, we could of course
release it in 1.1.5. What do you think?

Juergen, everybody,

Are we planning a 1.1.5 or is the 1.1.x release cycle finished after
1.1.4 is released? I'd like to add a couple of (minor) non-backward
compatible refactorings (introduce AbstractExcelView and have to
subclasses AbstractPoiView and AbstractJExcelView).

Ok, I still have to add the AbstractJExcelView to the sandbox. I'll wait
with adding it to the main codebase until after 1.1.2
