Makumba 0.9 is out!#

8 Jul 2010

This release is not a drop-in replacement. Read special changes below

• Bug fixes
  • allowing multi-types also for different pointer types
  • several fixes in the data object viewer servlet: charEnum and setIntEnum don't cause errors
  • fixing type computation for case-when, especially when there was no else part anymore, displaying ptrOne and setComplex, allowing to view ptrOne and setComplex details
  • some date fields (maybe those resulting from function calls) returned a byte-array, treating that in TableManager
  • date now accepted as field name in antlr MDD parser, also fields starting with low... accepted (by incresing lexer lookahead to avoid collision with 'lower' keyword)
  • fix in DataDefinitionImpl affecting the order of consecutive self-referring sets in getFieldNames()
  • improving checkValue so that it throws an exception when a Long value is bigger than the maximal value an Integer can take. fixes #1071
  • check for number of arguments to single-field validation rules, fixes #1239
  • better error message for impossible composite update/insert, fixes #656
  • fix for non-applied single-field validation rules in a subfield applying to a field having the same name as a field of the parent
  • fixing #1242
  • fixing #1240
  • applying database transaction rollback in case of form validation errors for all form operations, as otherwise this may lead to an inconsistent db state

• New features
  • annotating the list-tags in the JSP viewer with the queries they generated
  • developer tool to convert intEnum to setIntEnum, copying the existing data
  • adding DBSV format as input option in pointer value converter
  • adding Data Definition and Query Function Inliner providers to Makumba configuration overview
  • improved mak:info tag
  • improvement to JSP viewer: displaying a pop-up with generated queries for the list/object tags; showing analysis errors
  • error log viewer initial revision
  • EntityClassGenerator, generating JPA-annotated POJO classes based on MDDs
  • javassist-based reader for method annotations

• Internal changes
  • fixing release mechanism broken due to build path change
  • fixing testing mechanism, test cases can record their comparison files one by one (not globally anymore)
  • extended tests for MDD functions

• Special changes
  • new first-pass query inliner
  • moved org.makumba.providers.datadefinition.makumba.* to attic. ===> this means that dataDefinitionProvider=recordinfo in the provider section of Makumba.conf is no longer working.
  • changes in org.makumba.DataDefinition: getReferenceFields() and getUniqueFields() are moved to ReferenceChecker, checkUpdate() and checkFieldNames() to CRUDOperationProvider
  • changes in org.makumba.FieldDefinition: checkUpdate() moved to CRUDOperationProvider
  • dropping support of "requiredAttributes" as deprecated alternative to checkAttributes. Fixes #611.

Makumba 0.8.2.7 is out!#

29 Jan 2010

• Form submission message also shown for successful response
• Fixing bug in MDD parser that would prevent overriding of IDD fields in sub-tables (setComplex, ptrOne)
• Enhancing analysis engine: reporting invalid values for tag attributes can now be handled through AnalysableTag#registerAttributeValues()
• Improving error reporting: when an error occurs during the analysis or execution of a tag, we fetch the exact line of that tag and display it to the user, keeping the analysis status in the servlet context (as attribute) until the error does not occur anymore, so that we can keep on displaying the error message on successive requests (page reloads).
• Extending/refactoring page analysis: introducing AnalysableElement and ElementData to abstract from Tag, and allow for another kind of element (EL expression).
• Moving all the code required for accurate error handling into AnalysableElement
• Small fixes reported by bug detection plugin
• Fixing small bug in error viewer: removing generation of a link to the current directory in error pages when encountering a '.'
