An application written using AppFuse as a foundation. I'm building it in order to publish my resume online and have the ability to update it (via the web) and render it in Text, HTML, Word and PDF format. I plan on using Velocity for the Text, HTML and Word (RTF) versions, and FOP for PDF. There is a [demo|http://raibledesigns.com/resume] of the current functionality. All it does at this point is allow you to enter in a resume title and description and render a word/html version of it (with Velocity).

Struts Resume is being developed for two purposes: (1) so I can edit and publish my resume online and (2) to demonstrate developing a real-world app with [AppFuse]. Feel free to checkout the [online demo|http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-resume]

!!__2004.04.05__ - Struts Resume 0.9 Released!

At line 8 added 25 lines.

This release is a major improvement over the last one. Not only did I upgrade all the code to use AppFuse 1.4 ([release notes|http://tinyurl.com/27z2k]), but I also removed Struts from the services layer. Moreover, you can actually enter almost all of the pieces of a resume and render it in HTML and Word format. The resume-entry piece (and sections you can enter) is largely based on what Monster.com uses. I may add other sections in the future (i.e. awards and publications).

The main reason this is not a 1.0 release is because an administrator is the only one who can edit the HTML template - and the Word/RTF template is not editable online. Allowing a user to override the default template(s) will be the primary goal in 1.0.

Here's a specific rundown of all the changes from the changelog:

* Upgraded to AppFuse 1.4 - Includes Spring and all kinds of other goodies.

** [AppFuse 1.4 Release Notes|http://tinyurl.com/27z2k]

* Added Resume Creation/Editing Wizard.

* Added ability to edit HTML Template online (Admins only).

* UI Updates:

** Background borrowed from [alistapart.com|http://www.alistapart.com]. (Thanks!)

** Changed from ListMenu to TabbedMenu.

** Changed to fixed-width layout (700px).

** Added CSS drop shadows to headers.

*** Idea from [http://phoenity.com/newtedge/drop_shadow/]

*** Hack to fix Safari in web/layouts/baseLayout.jsp

* The Tomcat User's resume can be on the demo server at [http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-resume/tomcat.html].

<div style="margin-left: 40px">__2003.09.15__ - Small bug discovered in 0.8

The global.js javascript file is missing the following method. I've updated the files in 0.8 to fix this bug. Without this method, when a user changes their password, it's not encrypted, and they can't login again.

{{{

function createFormElement(element, type, name, id, value, parent) {

var e = document.createElement(element);

e.setAttribute("name", name);

e.setAttribute("type", type);

e.setAttribute("id", id);

e.setAttribute("value", value);

parent.appendChild(e);

}
