Want to start using Spring annotations and also to update Struts to avoid pitfalls with current application.

Spring upgrade to 2.5.6.0.3 and Struts 2.3.4 (going to release 2.3.5 soon)

Struts 1.2.9 for Struts 1.0 application

and then 3.1.2.RELEASE for Spring

Subject: WITG-146 Pending dependencies

Hello all,

Yesterday we were changing third-party dependencies in order to take them from Central Repository.

This is a summary of the dependencies that are still pending for changes.

Some of them are not available in Central, others don’t have a well defined version and in all these cases your help would be appreciated.

struts2-ssl-plugin-1.2

<dependency>
<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-ssl-plugin-1.2</artifactId>
<version>0.1-hal</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

This dependency is not in Central nor in our Google Code mirror in Nexus, so I cannot replace it with the last version (1.2.1) .

Two options:

1)      download from this site http://code.google.com/p/struts2-ssl-plugin/ the 1.2.1 version and make it manually available in third-party.

2)      Update GoogleCode mirror in Nexus.

IngrianLog4j/ IngrianNAE-5.1.1

<dependency>
<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>IngrianLog4j</artifactId>
<version>0.1-hal</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>IngrianNAE-5.1.1</artifactId>
<version>0.1-hal</version>
</dependency>

They are third-party but I think they should be kept in this way.

gson-1.4-javadoc

<dependency>
<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>gson-1.4-javadoc</artifactId>
<version>0.1-hal</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Is this dependency used for anything? In general javadoc dependencies are not needed.

sslext

<dependency>
<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>sslext</artifactId>
<version>0.1-hal</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

I don’t know which version we should use.

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22sslext%22%20AND%20a%3A%22sslext%22

ojdbc14

<dependency>

<groupId>com.hal.thirdparty</groupId>

<artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId>

<version>0.1-hal</version>

<scope>runtime</scope>

</dependency>

When I replaced it with the dependency in Central it failed…. dependency is empty in central and maven repository (0 bytes)

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/ojdbc/ojdbc/14

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cojdbc%7Cojdbc%7C14%7Cjar

We are still analyzing if “spring-webmvc” is needed. We think that it can be removed but we are testing to be sure.

Thanks again!

Virginia

Hi Eric,

Good questions… I’ll try to answer them J

1)      Basically one of the changes from Spring 2 to Spring 3 is the organization of the framework. While in Spring 2 there was only one jar, Spring 3 has a set of jars and you have the opportunity to include only the functionality that you need. This link can help you: http://dushyanthinguva.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-to-expect-while-migrating-to.html. In short it says:   “The first thing you will notice when upgrading to Spring 3 from Spring 2 is that it is packaged in a bunch of jars (or maven dependencies). This changed in Spring 2.5 and is generally regarded a good move although it makes upgrading a bit of a pain (even with maven). The good part is, the jar/dependency names are pretty self descriptive.” More info here à http://blog.springsource.com/2009/12/02/obtaining-spring-3-artifacts-with-maven/

2)      You are right, spring-context dependency is duplicated L. Can I fix it in the same feature branch or we have to create a new one? Please let me know and I’ll do it as soon as possible.

3)      It’s true, some of the dependencies are not necessary in hal-web, but we need them in both places because of the way you are deploying. From what I’ve talked with Mario, Guillaume and Ignacio, you need the dependency in the module for compilation purposes and then you need it also in hal-web in order to be placed in WEB-INF/lib folder during the deploy.

I hope this helps, if something is not clear or you need more info just let me know..

Regards,

Virginia
