Re: [Springframework-developer] Step-by-step tutorial feedback

[<tri...@tr...>]

Lars,

Thanks for your feedback - this is important since it is easy to verify that my
code works in my own "sandbox", but not that easy to verify that it works
everywhere else.

Documentation is key for most developers - that's why it is hard to beat out
Struts at the moment.

You are correct when you say that Part 3 is not as polished as Parts 1 and 2 - I
am still working on it and I will verify that it all works on both Tomcat and a
few other servers including WebLogic 8.1.  I just ran through Parts 1 and 2
deploying as a war file on WebLogic, and I have made a few changes to both
parts.  I added a task to deploy as a war file and I also added a deploy.path in
build.properties where you can specify a path to your deployment location.  If
you are not using Tomcat, then you can remove all the Tomcat stuff from
build.xml (everything related to Tomcat is now clearly marked at the end of the
build script).  I'll follow up with updates to Part 3 later today or tomorrow.
