Release Note M2Spring version 1.4.2 - New features

Test generation with JUNIT:

• Application generation,
• Manual application execution for test data generation for the scenario (record/ save),
• Saved scenario’s execution (ant task),
• Spring 2.5/Jsf and Spring 2.5/Struts Implementation.

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”

Chained Pre-controllers and Struts implementation:

• Adding one or several treatments before the page’s load
• Each treatment is defined with an activity diagram
• Redirection on exceptions’ management

Exceptions refactoring & logging system:

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

Enhancement of the bluage:Component :

• The component can use a non defined instance in the page (before we have to use the tag « hidden »)
• Possibility of pass lists
• Two attributes added :
  • tablefield  = instance type
  • list = true/false
• The pages’ pre-controllers called by the components’ actions work.

BIRT Report Implementation 2.5.1 & 2.3.2 (SPRING) - iteration I:

• Implementation of the BIRT engine to generate reports
• The implementation is valid for SPRING. Scope:
  • OK : Datasource management & SQL Direct access
  • OK : PDF & HTML Support
  • KO : SubReport
  • KO : CSV & EXCEL
• BIRT 2.5.1 & 2.3.1 libraries Support
• Limitation: only the case [Print_Product] works
• A new property added in com.netfective.bluage.bsp.j2ee.service.spring BSP for the technology used: reportTechno=birt

Deletion of the SPRING schemas in the generated projects:

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

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.
