| JDBC 2.0 DataListHandler implementation (see the paper by Claudio Fratarcangeli at
theserverside.com) |
foxat
|
|
| Added the "beanshell" ant task to use the BeanShell tool (www.beanshell.org) to test the toolkit methods |
foxat
|
|
| com.pow2.struts.action.* package refactoring |
foxat
|
|
| com.pow2.structures.tree package refactoring:
- collapsed ItemNode class into the Node class
- now BinaryTree uses the VisitorDesign pattern to "render" the tree nodes informations
- added the NodeVisitor interface class
- added the StringBufferNodeVisitor abstract class
|
foxat
|
|
| Poolman Connection pool replaced by the new ConnectionPool factory. The ConnectionPool factory provides a common interface to get pooled JDBC Connection objects using an underlying connectionProvider class.
Provided connectionProvider are:
- ProtomatterConnectionProvider - uses the Protomatter Connection Pool library. See
protomatterfor further informations.
- JakartaConnectionProvider - uses the Jakarta commons-dbcp ConnectionPool. See
commons dbcpfor further informations.
- SimpleConnectionProvider - doesn't use connection pooling at all ;^)
|

|
|
| "borrow" ;^) some idea from Ted Husted's
Struts catalog:
- com.pow2.struts.forms.FormsUtil - use this utility class to transfer data between value objects and an ActionForms using Java introspection
- com.pow2.dao.AbstractDAO - use populate() to transer data between a value object and a resultSet record using Java introspection
|

|
|
| debug: com.pow2.dao.AbstractDao.finalizeConnection : better management of critical conditions (I hope...) |

Release 20020430 - 2002/04/30
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|
|
| basic LDAP support for user authentication: an User object can be authenticated versus a relational database or an LDAP server. To use the LDAP User authentication, set the toolkit configuration.properties file as follow:
- [Pow2Toolkit LDAP support ] section:
set the set the LDAP server connection properties and the attributes mapping between the com.pow2.user.User class and the LDAP inetOrgPerson class
- [User data provider ] section:
set the user_data_provider key value to ldap
Note that the configuration.properties file provides default example values. Then rebuild the package using the ant "all" task |
foxat
|
|
| Added a JUnit-Cactus testSUite for the LDAP user authentication: the directory '/var/ldap' contains the "exampleTree.ldif" LDIF file that should be used to populate your LDAP server with the data used by the test classes |
foxat
|
|
| added the Oracle sql script used to build and populate the toolkit database. Thanks to
Dennis Carroll. |

|
| Rearrange the order of the web.xml file elements; no more Tomcat warnings... |

| added basic Struts support:
- action:
- BaseAction is the base class containing a bunch of useful methods to manage common ActionForwards objects
- DispatcherAction is a simple action that provides a standard way to dispatch requests to (static) resources and validateSession() hook method to implement your own session validation strategy
- pow2 ActionServlet subclasses Struts's ActionServlet class and overrides processActionPerform(); the new implementation calls the validateSession() method of all the input Action classes that subclass DispatcherAction
- actions:
- LoginAction perform login and user validation vs the application database
- LogoutAction simply remove any User reference from the session and redirect to the login resource
- form:
- loginForm can be quite useful for a login page form ;^)
