[Springframework-developer] Spring Portlet MVC Update

[John L. <jl...@ar...>]

A new release of Spring Portlet MVC is now available that includes the 
following changes:

* Due to an unfortunate render parameter limitation in Pluto,
   AbstractFormController (and therefore its descendants like
   SimpleFormController and AbstractWizardFormController) no longer passes
   all the submitted parameters from the action phase to the render phase.
   This means that if you have form parameters that you need during the
   render phase, you will need to pass those forward explicitly via the
   ActionResponse.setRenderParameter method. Be sure to test this with
   existing code before deploying this into production.

* All changes to the equivalent classes in the 1.2.4 release of the Servlet
   MVC Framework have been included here, as appropriate.

* Several minor bug fixes, including a problem with AbstractController
   calling handleActionRequestInternal twice when the controller is
   synchronized on the session.

Also a new version of the sample application is available. It now includes 
the use of an AbstractWizardFormController and a simple example of using 
the Mock classes to test a controller via JUnit.

As always, you can download the updates from the Wiki site:

The current source code is also in CVS in the Spring sandbox.

Please send me any feedback.  Thanks!
