[Springframework-developer] Pressing enhancements (was: Tiles Example (was: Integration samples))

[Alef A. \(JTeam\) <al...@jt...>]

There are two major things I'd like to address before M2 and a minor
issues

1 (major). Addition of propertyeditor support for reference data. A
customer has a language (Locale). A controller returns a
formbackingobject containing the setter for the Locale. The
referencedata method returns a list of Locale available to choose from.
For the BeanWrapper to be able to set the Locale the user has chosen
from the list, it (the reference data locale list) must be 'transformed'
using the PropertyEditor that has been registered for that specific
field (implications: additions of getter for the PropertyEditoron Errors
interface and a TransformTag actually allowing the transformation)

3 (major). Documentation. I plan to do a lot more JavaDOC (especially
the MVC package) and make it more accessible (by creating better package
descriptions).

2 (minor). Possibility of specifying which Binder to use, to allow for
transformation of input to Beanproperties based on something other than
http-params (for instance XML or whatever).

Feedback please ;-)

P.s. Yeah Juergen..., I keep on getting amazed by the guy...

>I don't know what the time-span for the next release is, I might have
some time to document things a bit further (we also need some kind of
tiles-howto), but not until at least next week...

We've been doing one release every 3 weeks, but I think 4-5 weeks is
more appropriate for M2. Early October. It was urgent to get the first
org.springframework release out ASAP

My main priority at present is source level metadata at present. That
and ResultSet returns from stored procedures might justify a release
before the end of September. If anyone else is aware of any other
pressing enhancements, let me know.

With Juergen away the pace of change will probably slow a bit...I don't
think I've ever come across anyone with that much (well-directed)
energy!
