[Webwork-user] RE: Intergrate with OpenSymphony?

[Aapo L. <aap...@pr...>]

What side effects does this integration drag in?

Currently WebWork does not have many dependencies to external 3rd party
components and I think it is a good keep it as separated as possible. It
makes intallation easier and WebWork is easier to understand if it does
not have too many dependencies.

How would this integration change things? OS has FormTags and maybe
WebWork should then drop it's Taglib and focus more on HMVC
architecture. Also there seems to be an interesting refactoring ahead if
there are any plans to use OSCore.

But for me, it's ok to integrate with OS. We already have Jira, so this
sounds quite logical as a next step.


Kind regards,
Aapo Laakkonen

Ok. It's time to bring up a former heated subject. Back
in March, there was a topic concerning moving WW under
Opensymphony. The conclusion of the debate was just to
hang out and wait. Since then, a lot has changed and I
think it is time to bring this subject up again. I
think WW could benefit from the exposure, common
infrastructure, developers, etc.

So, I'll start off and say +1. What do you say?

[Webwork-user] webwork symphony and more

[Marc L. <dev...@lo...>]

Hi,

First i wanna introduce myself briefly. I am senior consultant for
a german IT company and doing mostly projects in the java and php
space. After doing 1-2 java web based projects without the usage
of any pattern (no front controller, no real command dispatching...)
i felt that this kind of software is a maintenance nightmare in the
long run.

My first impression of webwork is quite nice. After several tests
with other MVC Frameworks (struts, turbine, ....) webwork seems to
be the most transparent.
I am going to use it with velocity, cause i used velocity before and
am really confident with this template engine.

I also hope that i will have the time to contribute to the project somehow.

I just saw a message explaining to move to opensymphony. Would it make
any difference regarding developer gain? I dont know, for me opensymphony
was not one of the major open source project sites, but perhaps i just
missed it...

But the idea to attract more developers seems to be 1+, cause the work
needed to maintain a full featured project site is (with all its services)
is crazy. I maintain(ed) an oss project site for a php based groupware and
there were times where i havnt time to develop for the project cause
of site services maintenance.

So i am excited overall and even more excited if this mail will reach the
list after having bounce problems in subscribing :)

[when this mail arrives... i changed the SMTP Server for my mails and
created a postmaster account regarding RFC...only to communicate with you...] :)

As someone from the OpenSymphony camp and a very big fan of WebWork, you 
get my +1.

Though I would like to point out that if WW is under the same umbrella as 
the other OSym tools it does not mean you have to start using them (or 
vice-versa).

Oh yeah, please don't impose the com.opensymphony package namespace on 
WebWork (or in fact any rules)!

Cheers,

Re: [Webwork-user] Re: [Webwork-devel] Intergrate with OpenSymphony?

[Patrick L. <pli...@ho...>]

+1 from me (not that I count from the WebWork side... hehe). I spent the
last week learning the WebWork codebase while trying to beat Matt to the
punch in getting getAsText support as well as array support. After taking a
hard look at the code, I see tons of places where WW and OS could work
together. One of the issues brought up last March was the perceived
inactivity of OS. Well, I think that can't be an issue anymore, since we've
had 3 big releases in the last few weeks and had a record month in terms of
website hits and downloads. We also re-structured our website to make it
very easy for the development team to post news and keep the content fresh.
Overall, I think now that 1.2 is out, it's a great time to make the move.

Ok. It's time to bring up a former heated subject. Back
in March, there was a topic concerning moving WW under
Opensymphony. The conclusion of the debate was just to
hang out and wait. Since then, a lot has changed and I

[Webwork-user] 1.2 release

[<ma...@sm...>]

Ok. I think WW is about ready for another release. This
release includes the following new features/changes.
Any objections? 

For 1.3, I think we should include dreamweaver
integration and form centralized validation. Any others
I'm missing?

- Action Chaining - Added the ability to chain actions

- XHTML tags - Renamed our standard UI tags from
standard to xhtml and made them XHTML compliant

- CSS tags - Removed our CSS UI tags

- VXML tags - Moved our VXML UI tags directory location
from standard/vxml to vxml

- Modified Iterator, Subset Iterator, Sort Iterator and
Generator tags do not return exceptions if values are
null. It will be treated as an empty iterator set.

- By default, WW will load its standard prefixes
automatically. This includes webwork.action.standard
and webwork.action.test. You do not have to add these
if you add the webwork prefix property
to add your custom prefixes.

- Added the capability for you to define getAsText() in
property editors that extend WW's
ValidationEditorSupport. However, this will only work
if you register your editor. To make WW work
with property editors defined in BeanInfo, the value
stack return results will need to be refactored to
return the bean the value came from. But, if you to
register and editor, WW will use it.
This means JSP tags that try and represent a string
value of your object will call getAsText() to
return the appropriate l&f. By default, toString() is
used unless you override it to define custom formatting.

- Added primitive and object arrays support. This means
you can have Action attributes that are
primitive arrays or object arrays and WW will convert
them for you. See BeanUtil test for more details.

[Webwork-user] Getting a value from a map

[Patrick L. <pli...@ci...>]

My action has two methods:

public Map availableInfoTypes();
public long getInfoType();

The Map is a Long/String pair, like so:

{0=Select an InfoType, 1=InfoType 1, 2=InfoType 2, 3=InfoType 3, 4=InfoType
4}

Now, if getInfoType() returns 2, I want to display the string "InfoType 2".
But the code <ww:property value="possibleInfoTypes[infoType]"/> produces
this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long
	at java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:792)
	at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)

	at webwork.util.AbstractValueStack.findValue(AbstractValueStack.java:407)
	at
webwork.view.taglib.WebWorkBodyTagSupport.findValue(WebWorkBodyTagSupport.ja

Any ideas?

[Webwork-user] WW + Velocity

[Marco P. <mp...@ci...>]

Hi there,

I'm working on a project using WebWork with Velocity. I'm trying to 
figure out which is the best way to access action methods other then 
get/set property from velocity templates. So, is there a way to add 
objects directly in Velocity context, or should be better to add a 
getAction() method (returning this) that can be access with $action in 
the template? Or is there an even better approach to the problem ?

Thanks in advance

[Webwork-user] Web Services and webwork

[Peter K. <pe...@mo...>]

This is a pretty basic question but I'm just trying to get my head
around whether we can use webwork in a web services application. One
of our customers has asked us to provide application functionality in
the form of web services. Knowing not a lot about web services I
notice that the Sun tutorial talks about deploying them as servlets.
Having only worked with JSP's before would it be a sensible thing to
do to use webwork actions as the end point of a web services
invocation ? Would webwork currently support this ?

[Webwork-user] Action chaining

[Patrick L. <pli...@ho...>]

(Sent this to Matt, but I think the whole list should see it)

By the way, action chaining really is huge (finding more and more cool stuff
to do with it today). Think of this, developers can start building actions
that can be arbitrality chained together, creating a mini-workflow of sorts.
For example:

(a form submits to CreateDocumentValidate.action)

CreateDocumentValidate.action=DocumentValidator
CreateDocumentValidate.error=create.jsp
CreateDocumentValidate.success=BeginTransaction.action

BeginTransaction.action=BeginTransaction
BeginTransaction.success=CreateDocument.action

CreateDocument.action=CreateDocument
CreateDocument.error=RollbackTransaction.action
CreateDocument.success=CommitTransaction.action

RollbackTransaction.action=RollbackTransaction
RollbackTransaction.success=create_error.jsp

CommitTransaction.action=CommitTransaction
CommitTransaction.success=create_success.jsp

Now this is maybe _too_ broken up, but the idea is there. I could then take
the classes CommitTransaction, RollbackTransaction, BeginTransaction, and
DocumentValidator and use them in a mini-workflow that assists with updating
a document instead of creating it. The possibilities are really quite
endless.

Re: [Webwork-user] redirect action

[Taavi T. <ta...@ib...>]

Matt,

The only issue left with redirect action is when somebody
uses it as a result view of another action.

I used to have in my views.properties file:

    someaction.action=SomeAction
    someaction.success=redirect.action?url=anotheraction.action

This does not work after introducing action chaining but it can
be made to work by making sure that view definition does not
end with '.action' or whatever ones "webwork.action.extension"
is set to.

So, I have modified my success views to something like this:

    someaction.success=redirect.action?url=anotheraction.action&a

... and it works again.

thanks,

with best wishes,
Taavi
