Barracuda 2.1 released

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?g
roup_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/Barracuda
2/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
