Release Note M2Flex version 1.3.2 - New features

Process Diagrams Generation Enhancement:

• Generated code Optimization (11kb vs 98kb)
  • Before -> factorization of every possible path implying code duplication
  • Now -> Smart scanning of the paths using the sequential and/or overlapped “if”

Exceptions refactoring & logging system:

• Trace persistence, service and web layer
• Exceptions hierarchy
• Error page redirection added

Flex enhancement (Generated frameworks):

• Data validation:
  • Constraints’ modeling within the entities and associated error messages
  • Internationalization keys generation of error messages (« properties » files by local)
  • Validators generation by entity (.as files)
• Evolution on the « Model Locator » (may require the mock-ups review)
  • Singleton deletion
  • Adding a method that allows to copy only the instances modified for each event (« CopyMethodeForEvent » method)
  • Modification of the event management methods signature in order to include a reference of the screen instance, as well as a optional « callBack »

Deletion of the SPRING schemas in the generated projects:

• The XSD paths are now defined according to the SPRING jar classpath.

FLEX CRUD Booster Iteration I:

• FLEX mock-up generation from the entities and UML diagrams generated by the Bluage CRUD PAGES wizard for MagicDraw.
• Using the com.netfective.bluage.bsp.j2ee.flexBooster BSP that generates for each entity the following Mxml files:
  • menuEntity.mxml
  • AddEntity.mxml
  • updateEntity.mxml
  • listeEntity.mxml
  • detailsEntity.mxml
• Application’s principal menu and home page generation.
• An AS file is associated to each generated mxml file. The AS file is referenced in the mxml file and includes the entire page’s Action Script code.

Workflow Files Versioning:

• The "Workflow" files have a new property: Workflow Version
• The workflow version allows knowing if the version for which the “workflow” has been written matches with the generator’s version.
