Expresso integration with Struts now available - v4.0ea Released
I wanted to let your guys know that Early access (ea) Expresso 4.0 release
is now available for download - which is fully integrated with Apache
Jakarta Struts. Expresso 4.0 is a big jump forward from 3.11, as the
version number indicates, it includes a number of substantial changes to the
core API - mostly related to Controller objects, now that we are fully
integrated with Struts. Please see the release notes at
http://www.jcorporate.com/doc/release.html. We look forward to your comments
and feedback...
With Release 4.0ea Expresso has made Controller objects available to Struts
as Actions, so the URL mapping, configuration, and other great capabilities
of Struts are available - with all of the advantages that Expresso standard
Web application functionality provides such as Controller object, DBObjects
(object-relational mapping), configuration management, security, database
connection pooling, email connectivity, job control, logging, event
notification, caching, internationalization, and more. The Controller
servlet (ActionServlet) still handles dispatching, then the specific
Controller object provides the UI-independant business logic.
Expresso 4.0ea is intended as a release for users who want to learn about
the new features and assist in the quality assurance process and
documentation - it is *not* ready for production use, and problems should be
expected at this stage. We'd very much appreciate bug reports and input on
this release - and this can be discussed here on the forums.
The 4.00ea version is available as a '-complete.jar' file - see the
http://www.jcorporate.com/doc/expressocomplete.html file for documentation
about installing this version. The -complete version is bundled with
Apache's Tomcat 4.0 b5, and includes doc, javadoc, and many other things
that you don't necessarily want in your own production release of an
application - it also, however, includes the 'ant' build.xml scripts to
create other versions of Expresso, including fully binary versions, .war
files for quick web-application deployment, and so on.
In order to control the size of the download, the '-complete' file does not
include the source for 'external' packages, such as Struts (although it does
contain the full Struts Javadoc for reference). All external package doc can
be found in CVS if it's required (for reference only). We also exclude the
Tomcat examples and Javadoc - both of which are available of course in the
full Tomcat download from Apache's site directly.
We look forward to your comments and feedback...both here and on our own
listserv and forums onsite.

The site is fine and doesn't require permission.
I did forget to mention though that the early access versions requires
registering to download. (the release version is available without
registering).
http://www.jcorporate.com/components/internal/projframe.jsp?category=65
The early access version on site will be updated as appropriate with bug
fixes as part of final testing - so you might follow the Expresso Developers
forum and Expresso CVS forum.
