Here is some Mach II stuff that I'm making freely available. Unless otherwise stated, all of the code / documents downloadable from this page were authored by me and are copyright © 2003 Macromedia, Inc. Note that some of the links go to Macromedia's LiveDocs system and some go to the OpenXCF project on SourceForge.net.

• Development Guide
  • machiidevguide.zip - you can download the latest version from LiveDocs Mach II Development Guide.
• Sample Applications
  • MachWiki - (updated 1/29/2004) it's a very simple wiki! (copyright: Sean Corfield)
• Event Filters (see Mach II Development Guide for details of some of these filters in use)
  • ValidateFormObject - (updated 10/13/2003) automates validation of 'bean' created by the <event-bean> command.
  • ContinuationFilter - (new 3/5/2004) makes chaining events easier, e.g., returning to an event after login.
  • Note: I have deprecated EventToRequest, RequestToEvent and FormObjectBeaner (the latter two were made obsolete by <event-arg variable=..> and <event-bean> respectively; I now feel that EventToRequest encourages gratuitous shuffling of data into the request scope, breaking down encapsulation).
• Plugins
  • trace - (added 12/17/2003; deprecated as of Mach II 1.1.0) traces execution of events and views as well as providing execution times in a low-overhead way (author: Laurent Rouquette, Macromedia). Note that SourceForge's CVS service often times out. Note also that Mach II 1.1.0 has built-in tracing so this plugin is not needed with Mach II 1.1.0.

I'll add more filters and other stuff over time I expect. You can also check out Robby's Mach II page where he has filters etc available for download.
