[ANN] Hibernate 2.1.3 Released

Download · Release Notes. It's been awhile since the last Hibernate release (approx 2.5 months) - most likely because the last one has been rock solid - at least it has been on my projects. All tests pass in AppFuse.

Goals for the week with XDoclet, Spring and AppFuse

I have a lot that I want to accomplish this week. Hopefully a few late nights will make it possible. I'm posting this list here in case someone has already done some of this.

  • XDoclet: duplicate the Struts-specific <validationxml> Ant task for Spring. Make it work with POJOs. This is primarily motivated by the fact that I got the commons validator stuff to work just like it does with Struts.
  • XDoclet: create a new <strutsform> task that doesn't depend on ejbdoclet. This will allow me to remove AppFuse's dependency on j2ee.jar.
  • Spring: extract the mock objects used in Spring's internal test suite so I can use them to test Spring Controllers (springtestcase? ;-)).
  • AppFuse: finish Spring MVC integration and release 1.5 beta.

Phew - it's gonna be a rough week with very little sleep. Fortunately, it'll all be worth it if I can pull it off.

Update: Sometimes things just click: generate validation.xml for Spring and generate ActionForms from POJOs w/o an EJB dependency. I also discovered that <hibernatedoclet> requires that xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask is in the classpath. It doesn't make sense, but the compiler doesn't lie.
