[ANN] Equinox 1.1 Released
In preparation for my talk on comparing web frameworks, I've made a bunch of enhancements to Equinox. I changed the default web framework to be Spring and added a very simple "CRUD users" feature. While it's basic, it shows how to do validation, success messages, and a sortable list with the following frameworks: Spring, JSF, Struts, WebWork and Tapestry. I even added a "birthday" field to demonstrate date-handling. I dig the built-in popup calendars that ship with JSF and Tapestry.
Oh yeah, I also added a hack (from James Violette) to make the Display Tag work with JSF. Code says it best. I plan on writing a detailed how-to as part of the Display Tag's documentation. Suggestions for a cleaner hack are welcome.
In other display tag news, here's another way to do static headers.
