__What is Struts Resume?__\\

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!

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].

!!__2003.09.14__ - Struts Resume 0.8 Released!

The highlights of this release include rendering a resume with Velocity ([demo|http://raibledesigns.com/resume/user/tomcat]), a password hint feature, self-registration feature, and a gzip compression filter. See the release notes below for a full list of changes. If you're looking to create a new application based on this architecture, you're best off using [AppFuse].

!!__2003.07.11__ - UML Diagrams Available

Alejandro Ramirez has been nice enough to supply us with some [UML Diagrams|http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/struts/struts-resume-uml.zip?download] of Struts Resume. Thanks Jano!

!!__2003.04.04__ - Struts Resume 0.7 Released!

All kinds of upgrades in this release including: [Hibernate] (2.0 Beta 4), [Struts] (1.1-20030326), DBUnit (1.6-dev), Canoo WebTest (build276), [XDoclet] (1.2-20030328), and Display Tag Library (0.8.5). The only real new features are User Administration and a role-based Menu system. That is, only Admins can edit users. This was mainly motivated by the fact that someone keeps changing the password on the demo site, so now I can reset it using a browser rather than SQL.

[AppFuse] is Struts Resume without any resume-specific code. I hope to use this project as my baseline for future web application projects. Struts Resume will (hopefully) continue to evolve into an application that I can host my resume on.

If you've managed to get Struts Resume to run on databases other than MySQL (shouldn't be too difficult with [Hibernate]), please let me know using the [StrutsResume Support] page.
