!!AppFuse 1.9 - October 2005

* 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|http://myjavablog.blogspot.com/2005/06/spring-connection-pooling-with-dbcp.html] (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.

* Look into Ivy or Maven 2's Ant Tasks dependency management. ;-) Also, checkout the [Necessitas|http://kevin.oneill.id.au/2005/06/06/necessitas-jar-management-for-eclipse] Eclipse plugin.

!!AppFuse 2.0 - late 2005

!Milestone 1

* Maven 2 integration

* Migrate from CVS to Subversion

* Remove XDoclet, putting generated files into source tree

* Get all flavors (WARs) deployed and running on Tomcat and Jetty Maven Plugin

* Spring 2.0: Upgrade XML to XSDs, annotations where appropriate

* Upgrade WebWork to Struts 2

* Documentation - move to new Confluence or DocBook-based system for 2.0 documentation

At line 13 changed 1 line.

* [JDK 5, Annotations and JSP 2.0|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=appfuse_2_0_jdk_5]

!Milestone 2

* [JDK 5, Annotations and JSP 2.0|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=appfuse_2_0_jdk_5]

* Archetypes for creating new AppFuse projects

* Documentation, including screencasts for tutorials

At line 15 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 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 24 added 8 lines.

!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 ;-)

!!Various Ideas - don't know if I'll use them'

!!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 25 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/2004/02/jmeter_measures_up.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].

* Create tutorial on how to integrate Quartz (using Spring). See Luciano Fiandesio's <a href="http://www.lucianofiandesio.com/javatales/qtzfuse.html">AppFuse and Quartz: an integration tutorial</a>.
