[Theseus-mvc-devel] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Theseus-mvc-devel] Modification to TheseusServlet for accessing Form Bean in Action method

[Sebu K. <set...@ya...>]

Hi,
    I have sent this to the theseus-user Yahoo group
and also posted at Sourceforge Help forum. However I
am also sending it to this list.

    What happened is I downloaded the CVS version of
Theseus on 23rd and started to look into it today
morning for use in a new project. However I ran across
a problem.

    I was using only the files from the examples
folder. I modified the executeCommandTestAction method
in TestAction.java. I added the following two lines.

TestBean test = (TestBean)context.getFormBean();
System.out.println(test.getPassword());

However I am only getting "test" as "null". On looking
into the source code I see that 

context.getFormBean() ->
action.getBeans().values().toArray[0]

ie, the bean map corresponding to this action is
taken, its values are converted to an array and its
first element is taken. Then 

(Bean)(thiselement).getInstance().

ie. it is cast to Theseus bean and the getInstance()
method of CommonActionBean is called which returns the
instance variable 'instance' . However there is no
place I can see where this variable is set. So it ends
up as 'null'

   I wondered whether this was a design error or my
understanding problem. And I am still wondering.

However after looking at the code for some time I
added two lines in TheseusServlet.java. Now it works
OK. However I am not 100% sure that this is the
correct
workaround. What I did was

line 336:
request.getSession(true).setAttribute(bean.getName(),
beanRef);

I added one more  line:
line 337: bean.setInstance(beanRef);

Similarly
line 289: if (null !=
request.getParameter("auto-populate") && null !=
beanRef)
line 290:    {
line 291:         populate(beanRef, request);
line 292:    }

Added one more line:
line 293: bean.setInstance(beanRef);

These are the places where I see the Form bean being
modified. With these changes it works just like the
earlier version of Theseus where we used Entity.

If I have overlooked anything please tell me.

[Theseus-mvc-devel] Need new version of thesesus

[Musa E. <Mus...@da...>]

Kevin,

I thought of emailing you at this new address, in case you didn't get to
read the
yahoo group messages.  I need your help with two things.  1 - I cannot find
any theseus downloadable file(s) on SourceForge. 2 - I subscribed twice
today, 
but no subscription confirmation message was sent to me at my yahoo address
[mes...@ya...].  I appreciate all your help.

Thanks again,
M. Esmaeeli

[Theseus-mvc-devel] Who all is on this list?

[Kevin D. <sup...@ya...>]

Hey all,

Just trying to kick things off on this list. Want to
know how many of you are over from the old yahoo list.
I want to cancel it soon.

Just a simple reply is all I need. Thanks.
