file, the bare beginnings of the Service Control Manager on the server side,
and the new "community left menu" on the client side (still controlled by the
existing feature mechanism, for now). The engine still needs to incorporate
the SCM in place of the old feature definitions. Also added some utility
classes (StockMessage, XMLLoader) to aid with loading XML data from the
config files (big help in the RenderConfig constructor and
VeniceEngineImpl.initialize!)
on XML config files...the implementation should now be much more customizable
and less klunky. Added a provision for implementing "generic" (JSP-driven)
sideboxes. Implemented the sidebox configure button on the front page
(finally!). Implemented a random password generator class which will be used
in a future implementation of reminder-driven automatic forgotten-password
changing. Fixed some minor funnies in SIG menu generation.
- added color customization in render-config.xml
- added ability to scale size of Venice logo in footer
- added ability to customize size of site logo, as well as add a hyperlink
- moved to use of LOG4J 1.1.3, LOG4J now installed in Venice lib directory
instead of in JRE extensions directory (only Java extensions should go in
JRE extensions directory)
- close to requiring JAXP 1.1 (will still work with 1.0 though)
