What are your first impressions of 1.2.0.Release

[delgad9]

@rcgeorge23,

I agree... The addon ecosystem is fundamental for Roo to succeed.
However there are no incentives for supporting independent developers interested in creating referred addons and/or Roo documentation beyond the "getting starting" level.

Hopefully this change in the near future.

1) Loading Owners or Vets grid first time*, takes around 11-12 secs. Moving to the next or last page takes around 50 mscs.
1.1) It seems that the whole data grid result set is cached the first time the page is requested.
1.2) It seems that Ajax approach is not used for navigating the grid.

Should improve with lazy loading - see https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-2879

@Alan,

Thank you for the update... I might try it again when available.

I truly believe that the in-house Roo WEB MVC together with j(Query+son) would render faster and has much-much better cost-benefit figure-of-merit development life cycle than the up coming version.

I have a project made with 1.2.0M1 with some customization... All customization are perfectly integrated with 1.2.0M1 ROO version; customization are: simple customization of existing finders, managing of multipart POST for upload a document (perfectly work with 1.2.0M1), and so on..

I have tryied two way:
1st) Starting from the same project directory, MANY errors during the ROO inspection of code that blocking all;
2nd) Starting from an existing .roo script (generation is OK) and perform a post generation customization using the same finder customization tell above, MANY errors stop the maven compilation. The same with the multipart POST customization...

Than I have a simple question: someone has a middle sized (12 entity) project that survive to the 1.2.0M1 to 1.2.0GA migration?

Some pre-requirements are changed? May be that is changed the required version of Spring? Other is changed?

The main change in 1.2.0.RELEASE is that @org.springframework.roo.addon.entity.RooEntity has changed to @org.springframework.roo.addon.jpa.activerecord.Ro oJpaActiveRecord. Other annotations such as @RooWebScaffold have also moved. Use STS or Eclipse to organise your imports after changing the @RooEntity annotation.

Checked your work at http://pragmatikroo.blogspot.in/2012...y-won-how.html
We are using Roo for our internal applications. The current UI which ROO provides out of the box does not look happening. We are evaluating Jquery. Would really like to give a shot at your add on - SYNERGY.

Thank you very much for your interest in SYNERGY...

I really would like to release it... however without the support of sponsor(s) that allows to release it in a sustainable way. I don't think so. We don't need another add-on that works on the current version and won't work on the next one.

Plus I got more than 10K hits on my development site when SYNERGY was announced. Who and how I am going to take care of the change requests, issues, etc. from releasing it.

In fact my article that you are referring its my last try for getting the attention from anyone out there for helping on my cause. Which is totally a Spring(Framework + Roo) cause.

I don't want to sound melancholic. This is business and probably what happened is that I didn't make the case for SYNERGY the right way. But I have tons of other ideas/projects to try. Have you seen my stuff on MongoDB? Hopefully this time I get it right...

I truly believe Spring stuff is very-very-very cool!.


Thank you for understanding

Thanks for the prompt reply. I even checked your MHRD app, and we are into something similar.
Your work is extensive and it can benefit innumerable developers.

I know it's business, and i can see that you are trying to grab attention since more than an year now.
Seems the response on business side, is almost none, apart from the publisher for your book.
BUT the 'interest' in the developer community is MAXIMUM.

So you won't publish anything if no one sponsors you?

You can hire me for your project too... Nothing is quicker than that.

Just let's say hypothetically that you would had hired me for MHRD A YEAR AGO... Right now your company would be very well positioned in market for it. Probably would had been the first one... advantage to bad to have in this very competitive IT market.

The benefits would had bigger and long term that any consultancy cost required. Right?

Longer answer below in case you have time...
Yeah... I truly believe is ethically correct, professionally correct, politically correct might be others corrects.

This is the point: If you solve (the) problem(s) to someone... Won't you expect something in exchange?

I assume you work for a IT shop that provide services and/or sales products to customers. Is not your company getting paid for such them. That way you get paid and can continue happily providing your services "in a sustainable way".

Well in open source entities are not paid... they are sponsored.


This is MY PROBLEM... I really like what I am doing. Just need to find they way on making it financially sustainable.

I am positive that if keep adding value -keeping my fingers crossed on it- to my stuff eventually I will make it.




On the other hand your statement: "Your work is extensive and it can benefit innumerable developers." is really-really-really super. Thank you so much. I am going to tweet it to friends and family for sure.



Yours
