Hi XML users,
The castor team (www.castor.org) and the exolab group are pleased to
announce the release of Castor 0.9.4, the popular open source
data-binding framework.
This version includes major bug fixes and improved reliability as well
as new features:
- Improved support for customizable Field Handlers that contains
the necessary logic to convert the value read or to be written.
- Extra methods can be generated in the generated beans for a
better support of java collections generated by the
Source Generator with Castor JDO
- Improved support for XMLInstance2Schema that creates an XML
Schema from an instance XML document.
- Add the possibility to specify a custom URIResolver to the
Schema Reader to be used when encountering URIs in an <import>
or <include> elements.
For a full list of changes, please refer to the Change log below.
You can download the jar at:
ftp://ftp.exolab.org/pub/castor/castor_0.9.4/castor-0.9.4.jar
The full distribution is available on the Exolab FTP site:
ftp://ftp.exolab.org/pub/castor/castor_0.9.4/
Note that this is the last release without support for the Source
Generator Binding File. This awaited feature will make the CVS later
during the week.
Don't hesitate to send us feedback,
Thanks,
Arnaud
Changelog:
==========
Version 0.9.4, October 14, 2002
-------------------------------
JDO: Added patch to docs (jdo-faq.xml) from Patrick van Kann
Concerning lazy loading questions.
JDO: Fixed bug #1031 dealing with the closing of database
connections when container managed transaction is rolled back.
(Bruce - 20021014)
XML: Fixed AnyNode writing: the sibling nodes (except for TEXT
nodes) are no longer output when writing an AnyNode. The
string value of a AnyNode is now conform to XPath 1.0
specification.
(Arnaud - 20021014)
XML: Added option to generate extra collection methods from the
source code generator. These methods include getter/setter for
the actual reference to the collection. This makes the
generated source code work better with Castor JDO.
(kvisco - 20021013)
XML: Added ability to ignore extra elements upon unmarshalling.
Patch provided by John Weir.
(kvisco - 20021010)
XML: Updated XMLInstance2Schema to support better
element/complexType handling and improved datatype guessing.
(kvisco - 20021008)
XML: Updated XMLInstance2Schema to support attributes. Sorry for
the oversight!
(kvisco - 20021008)
XML: Fixed bug 1052: the XML type resolution has been improved to
take into account the targetNamespace if any and the XML types
defined in no namespace.
(Arnaud - 20021008)
XML: Fixed bug 1047: when resolving elements/types from an imported
XML Schema, Castor will now look into the XML schemas that are
imported in the imported XML Schema.
(Arnaud - 20021004)
XML: Added UnmarshalListener interface provided by Paul Christmann
[paul@priorartisans.com]
(Arnaud - 20021003)
XML: Handle 3-digit millisecond in the Time implementation.
(Arnaud - 20021002)
XML: Applied patch by David Cumberland [dcumberl@TRUELINK.com]
Concerning DateTimeValidator
(Arnaud - 20020926)
JDO: Updated the examples to include a many-to-many relationship.
(Bruce - 20020925)
XML: Added ability to disable xsi:type attributes when marshalling.
(kvisco - 20020917)
XML: Fixed a bug in SAX2ANY, when using SAX1 namespaces weren't
correctly processed and added to the AnyNode.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Added the support for URIResolver. The user can now specify to
the Schema Reader a behavior to resolve relative URIs used in
the XML Schema being read. The introduction of a default
URIResolver implementation fixes numerous bugs in paths
resolution when using include or import.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Added the ability to pass a custom EntityResolver to the
Schema Reader.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Fixed a bug in the resolution of XMLTypes in the Schema Object
Model. An exception was thrown when trying to resolve an
XMLType that was not part of the Schema targetNamepace.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Added validation in the Schema Object Model to ensure that
element references are resolvable.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Fixed a bug that prevented the processing of an unknown type
in the Source Generator.
A NPE was thrown.
(Arnaud - 20020913)
XML: Fixed NullPointerException issue with generated source code
when using bound properties in conjunction with default
primitive values.
(kvisco - 20020905)
XML: NOTATION is no longer treated as a primitive type.
(Arnaud - 20020828)
XML: Added validation in the Schema Object Model to ensure that
named complexTypes and named groups are only used as top-level
components.
(Arnaud - 20020823)
XML: Updated the JNaming class to use
Character#isJavaIdentifierPart and
Character#isJavaIdentifierStart when determining a valid java
identifier.
(kvisco - 20020823)
XML: Fixed issue with using add-method in conjunction with
Hashtable and Maps.
(kvisco - 20020822)
XML: Fixed problem with namespace usage and mapping file. If
namespace prefixed attributes existed for the root element,
then a prefix was getting erroneously created for the
namespace even if a prefix already existed for the namespace
from the root element. I solved the issue by moving the code
for managing namespaces before the processing attributes.
(kvisco - 20020820)
XML: Fixed issue with using references and collections.
(kvisco - 20020816)
JDO: Cleaned up docs with patches Mark Woon
<morpheus@SMI.Stanford.EDU> and Erwin Bolwidt
<erwin@klomp.org>
JDO: Updated PostgreSQL jar file to their latest (CVS) version.
Fixes timestamp bug. (Note: For the DataSouce class, use
org.postgresql.jdbc2.optional.PoolingDataSource instead of
org.postgresql.PostgresqlDataSource)
(Wolpert - 20020812)
