Description gil cattaneo 2012-05-28 15:06:15 UTC
Spec URL: http://gil.fedorapeople.org/struts.spec
SRPM URL: http://gil.fedorapeople.org/struts-1.3.10-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description: Welcome to the Struts Framework! The goal of this project is to provide
an open source framework useful in building web applications with Java
Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. Struts encourages
application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC)
design paradigm, colloquially known as Model 2 in discussions on various
servlet and JSP related mailing lists.
Struts includes the following primary areas of functionality:
A controller servlet that dispatches requests to appropriate Action
classes provided by the application developer.
JSP custom tag libraries, and associated support in the controller
servlet, that assists developers in creating interactive form-based
applications.
Utility classes to support XML parsing, automatic population of
JavaBeans properties based on the Java reflection APIs, and
internationalization of prompts and messages.

Comment 1 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-05-31 09:09:13 UTC
I'm taking this review.

Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-05-31 09:14:12 UTC
So far it doesn't build in mock because of missing dependency on apache-commons-chain. Review postponed until apache-commons-chain is available.

Comment 3 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-05-31 11:38:15 UTC
Added depends on commons-chain bug.

Comment 4 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-06-23 09:16:12 UTC
Some files that are included in the source RPM are non-free, not even redistributable, for example
src/core/src/main/resources/org/apache/struts/resources/web-app_2_3.dtd

Quoting from the file:

This means that files like that cannot even be included in the SRPM.
Non-free files need to be excluded from the distrubution.

Please get in touch with upstream and report this matter.

all NOTICE files applicable to the package.

The latest upstream release is 2.3.4, but the packaged version is 1.3.10.
Please explain why struts 1.x was packaged instead of 2.x.

springframework and velocity-tools requires the struts 1.x series.

for struts 2. there are unavailable build deps such as:
org.springframework spring-aspects 3.0.5.RELEASE (depend on aspectjtools)



Please explain in a comment why local Maven depmap is needed.

depmap forcing the use of tomcat 7.x apis

Point 4 (d) of Apache License Version 2.0 requires shipping all NOTICE
