First, congratulations on the outstanding tool. Really awesome. How about extending the syntax to support async messages? This would be really handy, specially if jAdvise makes use of it. For example, it could be extended to recognized special calls like Thread.start() as making an async call. Or you could assume (or make configurable) method calls are async by default, and use the presence of a return value as a hint that it is actually a sync call.

Another idea: you could make available an Ant task or some other form of command-line version to allow this tool to be called from a build system like Ant or Make. One use of that would be to make the sequence diagrams part of the JavaDoc documentation; the .png files would be automatically generated from the diagram "script" (any idea for a standard extension?) and the script would be kept under source control with the rest of the code.

By the way, when I launch SEQUENCE (java -jar sequence.jar) I get the following error message: log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/debug.log (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(DOMConfigurator.java:602) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(OptionConverter.java:460) at org.apache.log4j.LogManager.(LogManager.java:113) at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:94) at com.zanthan.sequence.Main.(Main.java:32) Any ideas?

Nascif, thanks for your comments. I hope to get round to making the changes you suggest fairly soon. I've actually fixed the problem you mention in your last comment. Log4j by default will only create the log files you want to log to, not the directories those files should be in. Simple to fix by a little overriding though so I've done so.

Hi Alex, Good work. Recently I was thinking of writing such a tool and decided either XML(Complicated) or a tabbed format will be my input for my tool. And I stumbled onto your stuff. I made few changes and got a tabbed format working very well. *it was easy and speaks to how you have done the coding*. Today, I noticed that the code is vastly different, a) headless support b) additional parser (similar to what I had implemented, but yours is bit more complicated). I have again incorporated my changes again to the 0.6 code. I want to give it back to you. Are you interested? Let me know. I can send it to you. Thanks. r_sudharsan#at#yahoo#dot#com Posted by: Sudhan on December 18, 2003 12:56 AM
