[Webwork-devel] Updates

[Rickard <ri...@xp...>]

Hey

As the dev list subscribers have seen, I've made a bunch of updates to CVS.

What's new/fixed:
* Libraries have been updated. xalan.jar has been removed, since XSLT 
support works just fine with Saxon. crimson.jar and jdom.jar has been 
added for JDOM tests. Velocity has been updated to the latest 1.2RC3.

* JDOM example has been added. It's actually pretty cool to load XML in 
an action and expose it for JSP's to traverse using the taglib. Works 
pretty well.

* "sort" tag has been added. This is yet another iterator tag that you 
can use to sort iterators using a java.util.Comparator that you provide. 
Standard Comparators for numbers and strings are provided in the new 
JavaBean webwork.util.Sorters. This tag will allow you to do sorted 
outputs without having to bother with the actual sort in your actions.

* Many classes have been updated log4j-wise. The debug logs are now very 
useful IMHO. The servlet dispatcher logs the action name, action result, 
and action view, thus making it easy for you to follow what's going on.
(Note: I haven't added any log4j configuration to WebWork yet, so if 
you're using a server that doesn't have log4j installed/configured, 
you'll get errors at runtime. This will be fixed later)

* Various minor bug fixes. showtree.xslt now works on Mozilla for 
example (the generated CSS was previously buggy).

That's all folks.
