Dear All,

I am happy to announce release 0.1.5a of the SL which is mainly a compatibility and maintenance release. The comprehensive change-log:

• Fixed example of GWTRPCServiceExporter in documentation, thanks to Martin Konzett for spotting
• Updated dependencies to Hibernate4gwt 1.1b, thanks to Bruno Marchesson for hints on the HB4GWTRpcServiceExporter
• Updated dependencies to GWT-1.5.2
• Removed javassist dependency from demo project
• Added unit tests for verification of correct RPC mapping of service

that extend other service classes

This is a maintenance release for the 0.1.4x series of GWT-SL, for use with GWT 1.4. It updates mainly hibernate4gwt support. Updated documentation is available.

Changelog

• Fixed bug in GWTRPCServiceExporter which would not allow custom exceptions to be thrown. Credits to Robert Schreiber for spotting and fixing.
• Updated dependencies to GWT 0.1.4.62
• Updated dependencies to Hibernate4gwt 1.1, thanks to Bruno Marchesson for hints on the HB4GWTRpcServiceExporter
• Removed dependency to javassist

This release contains changes for compatibility with GWT 1.5.

Changelog:

• Removed GSearch, not readily compatible with JSO changes (Sorry!)
• Fix JsGraphicsPanel for 1.5 compatibility (Lance Frohman)

This will be the last release that specifically designed to be compatible with GWT 1.4. Going forward releases will be GWT 1.5 compatible, and backward compatible if possible.

Changelog:

• Fix SimpleDateParser#parse() calculates wrong month (George Georgovassilis)
• CalendarPanel performance tweaks (Robert Hanson)
• Added SimpleCalendar, including sample CSS (Robert Hanson)
• Fix a performance issue with event methods in CalendarMonth (GWanTed team)
• Eliminate deprecated pre-1.4 functions (Aaron Watkins)
• Fix events for WHyperlink and WImage (Robert Hanson)
• Fix WTextBox was not handling events, fixed by adding an onAttach() (Robert Hanson)
• Fix added onAttach() to WButton constructor to fix functionality (Robert Hanson)
• New (proof of concept) Canvas widget (George Georgovassilis)

The 0.1.5 release is now out, featuring GWT 1.5 RC1 support. The
changelog in short:

• Added switch to RPC components for disabling response caching
• Deprecated request/response getters in GWTSpringController
• Added ResponseHeaderFilter for setting HTTP response headers.
• Updated dependencies to GWT 1.5 RC1, hibernate4gwt 1.0.4, spring 2.5
• Removed Java 1.4 support
• Removed methods which were deprecated in previous versions from GWTRPCServiceExporter and GWTHandler
• Fixed bug in handling of serialisable exceptions in conjunction with
  serialisation policy, credits to Robert Schreiber for spotting and providing the fix.
• Added some sanity checks to catch configuration mistakes
• GWTRPCServiceExporter will log now only unchecked exceptions
• Fixed documentation

Unfortunately the SL-0.1.4d contains a serious design bug which makes the GWTHandler unusable. Thus I created a new release 0.1.4e which is already up in sourceforge.

Changelog:

• Bug fix in GWTHandler: The service exporter fix in 0.1.4d was revised. A RPCServiceExporterFactory is now used to generate RPCServiceExporter instances. Credits to Andrew McAllister for reporting.
• The NoSuchMethodException which is thrown when a requested method cannot be found on the service not produces a more descriptive message.
• Fixed serialisation policy generation issue with unit tests.
• Fixed documentation bugs.

A new maintainance release 0.1.4d of the SL is out and available on SF.

Changelog:

• Changed service exporter injection in GWTHandler from FactoryBean to RPCServiceExporter, since there was no easy way of setting FactoryBeans and provided a necessary refactoring for GWTRPCServiceExporter to implement an interface. Thanks to Ed for spotting this problem and providing the solution.
• added unittest for hibernate4gwt.
• updated hibernate4gwt to 1.0.3, spring to 2.0.8
• fixed unit test
• fixed comments in web.xml
• updated build script
• fixed copyright notices
• restructured build process

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
