Ok, so we reach the point where T5.0 final is imminent, and we are all
(I think) really happy of that.
As we also want that T5 really makes its way in the Java Web
ecosystem,
I think it always miss some really little things that are really
important for a .0 release.
I purpose to start this discussion in the ml, and when some major gap
emerge, to post them in the issue tracker, and vote for them.
So, for me, what I expect for 5.0 :
1/ - full and complete and rather simple internationalization : I
really
believe that a web framework can ignore other language and culture
(date, number) today ;
that include validator translation and stuff like that.
I believe you meant "can't" ;-)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-211
This is the thing I care the most about as there is no workaround
without
breaking other things.
2/ - valid XHTML, even for IE, by default. The workaround is here for
some time, but why it's not default ? See
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToXhtml
3/ - something around AJAX documentation and Zone update inside a form
(that includes update of part of a form on change from a select :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-138)
That seems to be a very frequent use case and should really be
implemented
soon.
4/- a property symbol provider, also simple and in use almost always
@see
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToReadSymbolsFromPropertiesFile
I think this is not that important to have. There is a simple
solution in
the wiki that people can refactor into a module, put it in a jar
file and
drop it into their projects as needed. On the other hand this
wouldn't be
too complicated to integrate into the core distribution, given that the
code already exists.
Without 1, T5 just can't get is path easely outside English contries ;
Without 2, T5 can hardly be considered top-level (even if on the
technical point of vue, it's completly rigth and it's IE fault),
without
3, AJAX seems not so well integrated, and it's hot stuff todays, and 4
is so much common in a application, why do we have to bother with that
each time ?
Other simple stuff that should be corrected before 5.0 (in my
opinion) :
- why hidden field is still missing ? It's so easy to add, a new user
should not even have to search for that !
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-257, that seems to bring
other pb with decorator and the like ;
Personally, I can live with all of those points except the localization
issues. On the other hand I think that most of your points can be
solved
without much effort and therefore should be considered for the final
release.
Cheers,
Uli
