| Known Issues/Bugs: |
| - see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS |
| |
| |
| Documentation Wishlist: |
| - Complete user guide. |
| - Improve documention of any or all of the view tools and the |
| commons-logging/LogSystem bridges (either xml/dvsl or javadoc) |
| - Create a developer's guide (how to write tools, tips on extending VVS, etc.) |
| |
| |
| Proposed Features/Upgrades: |
| General: |
| - finish/fix/improve Maven2 build support |
| - add automated testing of tools |
| |
| VelocityView: |
| - add a library of velocimacros for use with these tools |
| - Improve standalone toolbox management support |
| - Pluggable toolbox manager in VelocityViewServlet |
| - Pluggable toolbox loading (i.e. from props or something instead of xml) |
| - Support for reading toolbox from properties files |
| - Tool pooling/cleanup support (use commons-pool probably) |
| - look into supporting arbitrary layout depth (sort of a "tiles lite") |
| for the VelocityLayoutServlet (cf. Niall's work with Simple) |
| - support for JSP tags |
| - adopt VelocityTag and add toolbox support |
| - develop Tiles2 compatible TilesTool |
| |
| Generic tools: |
| - add a library of general-use velocimacros |
| - Template debugging tool(s)/support |
| |
| VelocityStruts: |
| - add a library of velocimacros for use with struts tools |
| (ideally these would be roughly parallel to struts tags to ease transition) |
| - move dynamic javascript generation from java (ValidatorTool) to templates |
| (this would probably work in concert with the velocimacro libraries) |
| |
| |
| Example Ideas: |
| - Struts 1.3 example(s). Take the existing Struts 1.3 examples and replace |
| the view layer with Velocity. (show off Tiles, modules, Validator, etc.) |
| - a FooShop-type demo app (i.e. something closer to real-world use) |
