  • updated hibernate4gwt to 1.0.3, spring to 2.0.8

GWT Server Library (GWT-SL) 0.1.4c Released

Dear All

I am happy to announce the 0.1.4c version of the SL which is as of now available for download [3]. The SL is a sub project of the GWT Widget Library [1] which aids integration of GWT RPC services to Spring by allowing the publication of POJOs as RPC services. While this is a maintainance release, make sure you don't miss the HB4GWTRPCServiceExporter which seamlessly integrates Hibernate4GWT [2] with Spring - special thanks go to Bruno Marchesson.

Changelog:

  • Updated dependencies to Spring v2.0.6
  • Refactored GWTRPCServiceExporter for easier exception translation
  • Refactored GWTHandler to support GWTRPCServiceExporter object factories
  • Expanded documentation on exception translation and deployment FAQ
  • Added support for Hibernate4GWT
  • Reverted copyright notice to plain Apache License 2
  • GWTHandler is no longer a FactoryBean - caused semantics mixup when requesting "urlMapping" from application context
  • Added new tests
  • GWTRPCServiceExporter caches now reflective method lookups for a moderate gain in speed
  • Deprecated GWTRPCServiceExporter.getRequest/getResponse
  • Added setter for compression logic to GWTRPCServiceExporter
