Barracuda 2.1 released

[Franck Routier]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that version 2.1 has been released and is
available either :

1) on objectweb forge

https://forge.objectweb.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91
(Released files have been compiled using Sun jdk 1.4.2)

2) or via subversion :

svn checkout
svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/barracudamvc/Barracuda2/tags/2.1/
your_local_dir


This version is mainly a bugfix release, and also introduces better
support for nested component. It includes version 2.2.14 of xmlc.

As discussed on this list, it is also planned as the last release before
3.x, where we will use Java 1.5 language enhancement and introduce new
features.
So for now, the repository contains the following branches :

- trunk : main development code. Will go jdk 1.5
- tags/2.1 : the released version. Will remain the same forever now.
- branches/legacy-pre-jdk15 : will only receive bugfixes or backported
most wanted features

Any idea is welcome regarding what features would be most needed in 3.x.
Here is a list of what comes to my mind :

- JSR 168 Portlet integration
- Ajax integration (dwr ?)
- Client side form validation (js)
- new nested Components examples
- FormMap evolutions : repopulation, better error handling, dataobjects
based forms, ...

Don't hesitate to propose any suggestion !

Best regards,
Franck

One small feature that I would like to see is a way to make events more
context aware. For example, what if you need to switch the user from a
HTTP URL to a HTTPS URL. Or what if you need to switch a user from one
Barracuda Application to another, that use a different servlet path.
Simply using the Event object with a BComponent will not get you there
(that I am aware of). You normally have to convert the event to a
string, and do some string manipulation to it. It would be nice to do
that behind the scenes. I am not sure if this is best done as an
extension of the Event classes, or maybe an extension of the BAction and
BLink classes (i.e. BSecureAction, BSecureLink). I have some code to do
the HTTP to HTTPS and visa versa that I can submit if needed.

Hi Denny,

this is added on the wishlist :)

I did not dig into the event model, so I have no idea what would be the
best way...
But I think if we work on Ajax integration, we will certainly have to
deal with more "context" aware events, as serving async requests could
be quite different from req/resp cycle (I am not sure of this, I did not
look at it yet, but it's my guess).
By the way, has anyone any experience regarding Ajax integration with
Barracuda ?

Franck
