Special Issues

| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[1\] The dialog facility is in need of improved functionality for handling multiple simulteously active dialogs, and dealing with back buttons. I propose to make this a significant focus in a 1.0.1 milestone release. |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[2\] The proposed solution to this issue is to cut-n-paste the HTML parser that Tapestry uses for reading templates. Before going that way, it would be appropriate to see if the Tapestry developers were interested in abstracting out this code (perhaps to a commons project) so that it could be shared more easily. |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[3\] The Shale contribution to addressing this issue is to ensure that META-INF/clay-config.jar resources in JAR files loaded as part of the application are automatically loaded. The actual configuration resources for a given component library such as Tomahawk, however, should be provided by the component library itself rather than by Shale. |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[4\] Will be addressed as part of the overall support for multiple simultaneously active dialogs. |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[5\] This is actually a [MyFaces] imlementation bug (see issue MYFACES-829). Resolving as REMIND to remember to mention this in the Shale 1.0.0 release notes. |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[6\] RFE to be reviewed for a subsequent release. |
Remaining Development Tasks
Description | Status |
Add API stability rating matrix to overview page for Core Library | |
Add "release" target to top level build script | |
Preparation Checklist
Description | Status | |
1. | Announce plan to dev@ list; link from roadmap page | |
2. | Complete Remaining Development Tasks | |
3. | Review/Resolve Outstanding Bugs | |
4. | Update Release Notes | |
5. | Check Dependencies | |
6. | Update to version 1.0.0 build.xml, project.xml, and the MANIFEST.MF | _ |
The Commons Preparation Guide is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but Commons uses the "beta/release-candidate/final" process.
Likewise, the HTTPD Release Guidelines is a helpful "overall process" backgrounder, but HTTPD does not use a test-build stage.
Dependency versions for this release:
Dependency | Version | Status | Used In |
Commons BeanUtils | 1.7.0 | Released | core, clay |
Commons Chain | 1.0.0 | Released | core, clay |
Commons Digester | 1.7.0 | Released | core, clay |
Commons Logging | 1.0.4 | Released | core, clay, test, usecases |
Commons Validator | 1.1.4 | Released | core |
JavaServer Faces | 1.1 | Released | core, clay, test, usecases |
Spring Framework (Optional) | 1.2.2 | Released | core |
Struts Tiles Standalone | — | Struts Sandbox | core |
Because this is a test build release, a dependency on an unreleased component is acceptable.
