!!AppFuse 1.8 - sometime before Summer 2005 |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">AppGen improvements to allow running it twice for a POJO. Also will remove hard-coded id and read from @hibernate.id. These improvements will be largely based on [this patch|https://appfuse.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104] from Henry Zhang.</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Replace existing security implementation with the more robust [Acegi Security System for Spring|http://acegisecurity.sf.net].</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Community Building, hopefully add some additional Committers</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Revamp build.xml to use Ant 1.6 features like macrodef and imports</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Create an installer using [MyJavaPack|http://open-centric.com/myjavapack/] that can install Ant, AppFuse, MySQL and Tomcat. Basically, give developer's a way to install and start developing with AppFuse in under 5 minutes.</span> |
* Add tutorial on wiki about many-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many (if time) relationships and how to code them. __Status:__ [In Progress|HibernateRelationships] |
!!AppFuse 2.0 - late 2006 |
At line 11 changed 8 lines. |
!!AppFuse 1.9 - sometime in June 2005 |
* Community Building, hopefully add some additional Committers. |
* Short video showing off setup, features and AppGen (maybe different videos). |
* Replace AppFuse custom features with Acegi features: SSL Switching, Password Encryption, Remember Me. |
* Research using a local DataSource (w/ connection pool) instead of a JNDI DataSource. This should be easy with Commons DBCP (or [C3PO's ComboPooledDataSource|http://tom.tharrisx.homedns.org/javalib/c3p0-0.8.4.5/doc/#using_combopooleddatasource]) and Spring. |
* Create iBATIS Tutorial and (possibly) AppGen integration. |
* Look into adding one-to-many UI support to AppGen. |
* What do __you__ want? |
!Milestone 1 |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Maven 2 integration</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Migrate from CVS to Subversion</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Remove XDoclet, putting generated files into source tree</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Get all flavors (WARs) deployed and running on Tomcat and Jetty Maven Plugin</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Spring 2.0: Upgrade XML to XSDs, annotations where appropriate</span> |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Upgrade WebWork to Struts 2</span> |
* Documentation - move to new Confluence or DocBook-based system for 2.0 documentation |
At line 20 changed 6 lines. |
!!Future |
* Add installer for Resin that rebuilds build.xml for Resin instead of Tomcat. There's not much demand for this right now, so I've postponed it. |
* (Possibly) Add a Swing client that can talk to at least one of the above frameworks (if not all). |
* (Possibly) Add a [Laszlo|http://laszlosystems.com] front-end. I've heard this might be possible with Tapestry or JSF. |
* (Really don't want to) Offer Maven as an alternative to building with Ant. This will likely make the IDE integration easier as it's not very good right now. |
* [What others would like to see|http://raibledesigns.com/comments/rd/Weblog/if_you_could_add_another] |
!Milestone 2 |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">[JDK 5, Annotations and JSP 2.0|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=appfuse_2_0_jdk_5]</span> |
* Archetypes for creating new AppFuse projects |
* Documentation, including screencasts for tutorials |
At line 19 added 4 lines. |
!Milestone 3 |
* Integrate XFire by default (for existing classes and generated classes) |
* Code Generation/AppGen - hopefully with the [AppFuse Maven Plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/appfuse-maven-plugin/] |
* Documentation |
At line 28 changed 1 line. |
!!Various Ideas - don't know if I'll use them' |
!2.0 Nice to haves |
* TestNG replacing JUnit |
* Hibernate Validation Annotations (hard part is hooking it into the web frameworks) |
* Tomcat Plugin for Maven (that operates like Jetty's plugin) (Looks like there is a [Maven 2 Tomcat Plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/introduction.html] that supports [tomcat:run|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-384] and [tomcat:run-war|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-567] (pending)) |
* JPA Support |
* Support for JDK 1.4 using something like [Retroweaver|http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/] |
* Support for using Ant to build/test/deploy AppFuse-based projects |
* Someone to do all the documentation ;-) |
|
!!AppFuse 2.1 - early 2007 |
* Search using [Compass|http://www.opensymphony.com/compass/], tutorials already existing for [Spring MVC|http://www.nabble.com/search---integrate-compass-%28lucene%29-and-appfuse-p5022176s2369.html] and [JSF|http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-search---integrate-compass-%28lucene%29-and-appfuse-p5222253s2369.html] |
* Pageable lists that only fetch a specified number of records (i.e. 10 at a time) |
* Ajax Goodies (TBD) |
|
!!AppFuse 2.2 |
* Convention over configuration, no XML modifications needed when adding new files |
* Plugin API so all "features" can be added/removed via plugins |
* Add Wicket and Stripes as supported web frameworks |
|
!!Future |
* (Possibly) Add a Swing/RCP, Laszlo and/or J2ME front-end |
* Change from using Canoo WebTest to using [Selenium|http://openqa.org/selenium/] for UI testing ([Maven + Selenium HowTo|http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+and+Selenium]) |
* [What others would like to see|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd/Weblog/if_you_could_add_another] |

!!Various Ideas - don't know if we'll use them |
At line 30 changed 3 lines. |
* Use JMeter or Microsoft's Web Application Testing tool to configure load testing scripts for inclusion in the distribution. Motivated by [this post|http://blog.rossmason.com/archives/000025.html]. |
* Create tutorial on how to integrate Quartz (using Spring). |
* Create tutorial on how to integrate Lucene for searching users. |
* Use JMeter, Grinder or Microsoft's Web Application Testing tool to configure load testing scripts for inclusion in the distribution. Motivated by [this post|http://blog.rossmason.com/archives/2004/02/jmeter_measures_up.html]. |
* <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Create tutorial on how to integrate Quartz (using Spring).</span> See Luciano Fiandesio's <a href="http://www.lucianofiandesio.com/javatales/qtzfuse.html">AppFuse and Quartz: an integration tutorial</a>. |
