Echo Web Framework

Hi,
I have dowloaded the zip files at http://download.nextapp.com/downloads/echo2go/ and I have noted that the content of NextApp_Echo2_FileTransfer.zip and NextApp_Echo2_FileTransfer.tgz is wrong: they contain an old version of the library. File dates in these arcihves are rather old, on the contrary file dates in the others archives are equal to the current date.

If the version listed in ant.properties is correct, the night build is shipping v2.0.alpha1 instead of v2.1.0.

The content of echo2gojar.tar.gz seems correct.

Hi,

I am a Student trying to convert an old applet-based applet which has become a maintenance-nightmare into an easier-to-maintain ajax app.

OK, this is not specific to Echo 3 but I am dealing with this in an Echo 3-based application. Basically, I am trying to move from a single JDBC connection being used by multiple servlet session instances to a JDBC pooled connection used by those servlet session instances. Believe it or not, the single JDBC connection, despite not being synchronized, performs decently and does not appear to experience any errors during multiple servlet session instance (and thus multiple thread) use. Why that is eludes me.

I would like to push a request for supporting a per application favicon via the application bootstrapping code in the echo core. NextApp can use its icon (or any other) as default, and provide developers the ability to over-ride it with their preferred one. It is fairly easy to achieve the same if your application runs on a virtual server, but it is still nicer to have it controllable on an application basis.

Hi,

Recently I have been using Icefaces 1.8 with JSF 1.2 and facelets and I really liked it. Icefaces provides the AJAX support behind the scene.

Where Echo provides the solution just by writing the java code like swing, Icefaces requires you to write fully formed XHTML type tags intended for web programmers.

I know it's not same technology but I am trying to make a comparison between the two.

Just updated to the nightly build and was looking through the diff and noticed this changed line in Application.js. What exactly does this do?

var nextComponent = null, componentIndex;

Google released the closure javascript tools:

Everything OK at NextApp? Things have been very quiet.

I am looking at doing some load testing of my Echo3 application to determine whether it is viable for a hosted service application or a download application. I've read much of the previous posts on the forums regarding test automation but have not found any application that can do this. Trawling the web did not turn up anything useful. I tried HttpUnit, but it barfs on the javascript and is not known for handling complex JS. There are tools out there like Selenium which would work, but they are automated testing tools.

The Web site color suddenly changed to light blue and whenever I try to enter a forum I get this PHP error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function comment_num_new() in /home/vhosts/echo.nextapp.com/web/httpdocs/site/modules/forum/forum.module on line 796
