do pretty much anything; emailer and stock messages are now managed through
the GlobalSite; security-releated generation is now handled through the
Generator class instead of several different ones
participants: to wit, any user can opt-out from ALL those mailings with one
setting; each message now carries a standard disKlaimer indicating how the
user can opt-out (and it's REAL opt-out, not this fakey stuff the spammers do)
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!)
architecture--it's implemented at the global level and for communities,
conferences still use the old hard-coded implementation. The new
StaticSecurityMonitor is configured via XML data, which will be important
when we implement the new Community Services architecture
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.
to set their default language and time zone preferences; added footer text
and account signup accept/decline rules; added additional implementation
of dictyionary code for future; minor cleanup of rendering config; and
so forth
(first workout of HTML Checker code)
* modified the dictionary implementation to use a trie system rather than
a set of HashSets, and also started using a new, much smaller dictionary
* general bugfixes and cleanup on other items as needed
