JSP 1.2 versions of tag libraries

[Glenn Nielsen <gl...@voyager.apg.more.net>]

The JSP 1.2 spec will be released later this year.  We will then have
two different versions of taglibs to support.

There are many new features in JSP1.2 for tag libraries that I am
sure many of us would like to add support for in our taglibs.

A taglib design for JSP 1.2 could be very different from one
designed for JSP 1.1.  Yet we may want to keep the branding of
the taglib name.  i.e. DBTags for JSP 1.1 and DBTags for JSP 1.2.

But how do we manage this?

Completely separate taglibs with different names?

Different source directories within a taglib?

Different branches in CVS for a taglib?

Different release versions?

How will this affect the taglib build?

As I restructure the jakarta-taglibs build process, it would be nice
to add in support for JSP1.2 taglibs.  But I am not sure how best to
proceed and am looking for ideas.

Regards,

Glenn

Re: String Taglib in Nightly Build

[Glenn Nielsen <gl...@voyager.apg.more.net>]

In order for something to be uploaded to the jakarta site from the nightly
build it has to be added to the nightly build script that is run on my
system. 

I will add the String taglib to it.

The output from the nightly build gets emailed to me.  But we already
have the GUMP failure messages so I see no need to duplicate.

Glenn

String Taglib in Nightly Build

[ba...@generationjava.com]

'lo there,

I've changed build.xml and index.xml so that, as far as I'm aware, the
string taglib should show up in the nightly build. But when I goto:

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-taglibs/nightly/projects/

there's no sign of it.

Is there something extra that has to be done Glenn?

Also, is there somewhere where errors from the nightly-build could be
seen? I realise that maybe the reason it is not showing is that some error
occurs and it cancels the string 'project'.

Thanks,

Bay
