9.2.0 (2025-10-20)​

Added​

  • Added maven.classifier option for elements::Library elements. This allows you to specify the classifier for a Maven dependency in such a data resource.

Changed​

9.1.0 (2025-10-02)​

Fixed​

  • Updated groupId in ejb-ear POM file to be consistent with the other POM files.

Added​

  • Added support for Java 25.

9.0.0 (2025-08-05)​

Due to the critical nature of CVE-2024-53677 at a 9.5 on the CVSS 4 scale, we've decided to no longer support the interceptor fileUpload in Struts2. Version 8.3.0 of Expanders previously migrated all code using this interceptor to its replacement, the actionFileUpload interceptor and the UploadedFilesAware interface. All custom upload actions must be migrated when upgrading to Expanders 9.x.

Added​

  • Introduced new application-shared-struts2-jakarta library to target Jakarta EE. Currently intended only for testing with Struts2 7.0.3.

Changed​

  • The application-shared-struts2 library is now built against JEE 6 instead of JEE 5, since we already dropped support for JEE 5.

8.0.3 (2025-02-06)​

  • [NSX-412] The id of a details object is now always set to 0L at the start of the create method in the Cruds class to fix issues with the value being null. There is a legacy option legacy.cruds.disableId0OnCreate in case this somehow breaks custom code.

Changed​

  • The option maven.groupId is now automatically added if it is not defined, with the expected default value, so it is always present.

Removed​

  • Removed implementation for expired option legacy.dynamicTaskDelegation.reenable.

6.4.4 (2024-01-25)​

Fixed​

  • In tests for non-application programs, technologies are now all provided to the programComposite. This should fix some issues with layerImplementations in tests

6.4.3 (2024-01-25)​

Fixed​

  • When using the default groupId that contains the name of the application, dashes are now removed if they are part of the application name..

6.4.2 (2024-01-22)​

6.3.0 (2024-01-03)​

Merged 5.38.1 into main branch.

Removed​

6.2.8 (2024-08-12)​

Added​

  • [VEGA-373] Added custom anchor for maven surefire plugin configuration. (cherry-picked from 7.7.2)

Fixed​

  • [NSX-454][VEGA-382] Fixed issues with null values in UniqueConstraint query. (cherry-picked from 7.7.2)

6.2.7 (2024-06-17)​

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-379] Fixed issue in UniqueConstraint database query where ValueFieldType wrapper classes were not unwrapped.

6.2.6 (2024-05-16)​

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-375] Add userContext constructors to agents classes

6.2.5 (2024-05-06)​

Changed​

6.2.4 (2024-05-06)​

Reverted​

  • [VEGA-375] Reverted change which removes ComponentProxyAgentsExpander. It is now available with the option agentRepository.enable.

Changed​

  • [VEGA-370][VEGA-367][VEGA-368] Created alias common.name.alwaysPresent for option legacy.nameNotWanted.pojoName. This option ensures the name field is always present, even with the nameNotWanted option. This ensures the behavior is the same as before version 5.9.2.
  • [VEGA-375] The option agentRepository.enable now also adds the AgentIf interface to the Agent class in the Proxy layer to prevent compile errors.

[VEGA-370][VEGA-375][VEGA-376] Removed the deadline for following options:

  • agentRepository.enable/legacy.agentRepository.enable
  • common.name.alwaysPresent/legacy.nameNotWanted.pojoName
  • legacy.proxyAgentInterface.reenable
  • legacy.dynamicTaskDelegation.reenable

Though they will still generate deprecation warnings. In addition, these options, except for agentRepository.enable, are now cascading, hence it is possible to only add the option where the problem occurs.

6.2.3 (2024-05-03)​

Changed​

  • [VEGA-376] TaskBean delegation is now part of the TaskElement BeanExpander and includes an @anchor:implementation feature anchor.
  • [VEGA-375] Created alias agentRepository.enable for option legacy.agentRepository.enable.

Reverted​

  • [VEGA-375] Reverted change which removes ComponentLocalAgentsExpander. It is now possible to enable the expander by adding the option agentRepository.enable to a Component or Application.

6.2.2 (2023-12-15)​

Fixed​

  • Added fallback in ArtifactExpander for ExpanderComposites without ElementType. This should fix some issues with backwards compatibility.
  • Fixed issue that caused the Expander Mapping to still be resolved for Features with option feature.mapping.doNotInheritExpanderMapping, sometimes causing assert errors.

6.2.1 (2023-12-15)​

Fixed​

  • Rework of audit fields no longer updated modification fields on create.

6.2.0 (2023-12-14)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue in AdditionalExpansionStep tests not resolving ExpandableElement correctly.

Changed​

  • [NSX-398] Introduced options and cleaned implementation/features for existing auditing functionality with fields such as enteredAt. These are still implicitly added based on the name, but can also be explicitly defined on other fields instead. The new options introduced match the following fields:
    • enteredAt: option audit.create.timestamp
    • enteredBy: option audit.create.author
    • lastModifiedAt: option audit.modify.timestamp
    • lastModifiedBy: option audit.modify.author

6.1.0 (2023-12-12)​

Changed​

  • Change ArtifactExpander to use ExpandableElement when validating expansionSource.
  • Change ModelBuilderFactory to use ExpandableElement when resolving element hierarchy.
  • Updated Struts2 from 6.3.0.1 to 6.3.0.2. (Addresses CVE-2023-50164)

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-360] Fix struts-conversion properties file for ValueFieldTypes with name that differ from the valueClass field.

Removed​

  • Removed support for expired legacy option legacy.dataDetailedConstructor.reenable.

6.0.2 (2023-11-16)​

Reverted​

  • Returned linkFieldTypes data-resource, since the micro-radiant can still have issues loading the model because of this change. Will be removed again once the micro-radiant is updated.

6.0.1 (2023-11-15)​

Changed​

  • Deprecated option legacy.nameNotWanted.pojoName.

Removed​

  • [VEGA-358] Removed linkFieldTypes data-resource, since it is now defined in prime-core

6.0.0 (2023-11-09)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed implementation of file comparison for copying files from expansion resources. The update to commons-io version 2.15.0 changed its file comparison implementation, which broke it for virtual file systems.

Added​

  • Added deprecation warnings in Maven build by default. Can be disabled with maven.hideDeprecationWarnings.

Changed​

  • The expander framework now targets Java 17. (Expanded code for the JEE application stack is still Java 8 compatible.)
  • Refactored up various deprecated calls to reduce deprecation warnings.

5.39.0 (2023-11-08)​

Added​

  • Added interfaces feature anchors to the Agent- and LocalAgentExpanders
  • Added execute-before feature anchors to several struts actions

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-351] Moved <finalName> in ear pom.xml to <build> tag (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MEAR-260)
  • [VEGA-349] StrutsConverter and StrutsValidator classes are now correctly expanded even if a custom converter and/or validator have been defined on the ValueFieldType.

Changed​

  • Replaced use of AgentIf interfaces in FinderResolvers

Moved the expiration times of some options which were set to expire too far in the future for some reason:

  • disableStrictLinkMode: 2024-09-01 to 2024-05-01
  • disableFixNullableLn02: 2024-09-01 to 2024-05-01
  • logging.cruds.degradeErrorToInfo: 2024-12-01 to 2024-05-01
  • legacy.struts.unprotectedEndpoints: 2024-12-01 to 2024-05-01

Removed​

  • [VEGA-356] Removed the AgentIf interface from the Agent class. This can be reverted with the option legacy.proxyAgentInterface.reenable.

5.38.0 (2023-10-26)​

Fixed​

  • [NSX-381] FinderResolver did not process IN field operator pairs for collection linkfields correctly when null was passed for that pair.

Added​

  • Added a debugger entrypoint to the ConfigObjectMapper, allowing debuggers to attach to the mapping context.
  • Added option for Features, feature.mapping.doNotInheritExpanderMapping. This disables the inheriting of mapping values from the Expander mapping file. It makes it easier to decouple the Feature. It also prevents issues in the tests caused by changes in the Expander mapping file.
  • Feature Composites in Tests are now enriched, so that options on Features can be used. Note that the use of these options are reserved for logic provided by expanders-core.

Removed​

  • Removed TechnologyMapping class.
  • Removed LayerConditionIsApplicable class.

5.37.5 (2023-10-20)​

Changed​

  • Migrated all imports for BeanExpander to the new imports system.

5.37.4 (2023-10-18)​

Fixed​

  • Modules imported from model-resources are no longer harvested, even without the isBaseComponent option.

5.37.3 (2023-10-15)​

Fixed​

  • Null/Notnull field operator pairs were not filtered correctly from FinderResolvers in cases where they were paired up with field operator pairs that did need to be resolved.

5.37.2 (2023-10-13)​

Fixed​

  • Added import that is needed for required feature after refactoring of imports for Cruds.

5.37.1 (2023-10-12)​

Fixed​

  • Missed refactoring of imports for AgentInterfaceExpander.

5.37.0 (2023-10-12)​

Changed​

  • Migrated many large expanders to the new import system for expanders, to allow expander features to make use of it.

Removed​

  • Removed support for deprecated option experimental.valueFieldType.storageType.
  • Removed support for deprecated option legacy.logic.entityManager.

5.36.7 (2023-10-09)​

Merged​

  • Merged 5.30.7 into main.

5.36.6 (2023-10-06)​

Fixed​

  • With changes to the way imports are added, the option useLogicSecurity expanded code that was missing an import in scenarios where a DataElement had no DataCommands.

5.36.5 (2023-10-04)​

Fixed​

  • HSTSFilter was not registered correctly in some cases due to a mismatch in the package name generated for the class and its registration in web.xml.

Changed​

  • Replaced uses of deprecated methods in expander templates:
    • net.palver.util.StringUtil.join()
    • net.palver.util.StringUtil.split()

Merged​

  • Merged 5.30.6 into main.

5.36.4 (2023-09-27)​

Fixed​

  • [NSX-373] Fixed duplicate custom anchor anchor:custom-delete-instance-button, replacing it with anchor:custom-delete-list-button for the bulk-delete button.

5.36.3 (2023-09-26)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed an issue when loading Components in a non-Application program.

5.36.2 (2023-09-26)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed an issue where cruds.bulk.delete would only work if the option view.list.multiselect is added. The option should have been provided automatically.
  • Revert imports in knockout artifacts to use let instead of const, because this was breaking too much custom code.

5.36.1 (2023-09-23)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed db.schema and db.tableName to correctly apply alias for old naming.

5.36.0 (2023-09-22)​

Added​

  • Added model loading listener to consolidate database schema and table name options, replacing behavior from prime-core.
  • Added documentation link to all optionTypes documented on foundation.

Changed​

  • Renamed options, old name is available as an alias:
    • db.schema, previously databaseSchemaName
    • db.tableName, previously databaseTableName
  • In addition, made db.schema cascading. It can now also be applied to components.
  • Deprecated options which had very similar behavior to other options:
    • hasDataSchemaName
    • hasDataBaseSchema
    • hasDataTableName
  • Updated prime-core to 2023.8.0

5.35.1 (2023-09-22)​

Fixed​

  • Updated expanders for options, so they correctly works on Application and not just ApplicationInstance:
    • security.hstsHeader
    • experimental.maven.speedOverSize

    • view.list.multiselect
    • cruds.softDeleteOnModify
    • struts.disableStrutsErrorsToCommandResult

    • cruds.table.pageSize
    • cruds.table.csvExportButton

5.35.0 (2023-09-21)​

Fixed​

  • Changed groupId of every Maven module to org.normalizedsystems.<Application.shortName> by default to avoid collisions between projects.

Added​

  • Added option maven.groupId to set the groupId for all Maven modules in the project.

5.34.1 (2023-09-21)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue in InstanceModelJsExpander that caused ln03 fields to be initialized incorrectly.
  • Reverted change in CreateDialogJsExpander and EditDialogJsExpander that changed the form variable to a const. This was incompatible with custom code in some places, e.g. the assets component.

5.34.0 (2023-09-19)​

Added​

  • Added Application option ejb.logic.dataSourcesFix. This changes the logic layer build to use the maven-assembly-plugin to include class files from the data layer instead including the source directories directly. This prevents the same source files from being compiled twice. It also fixes issues IntelliJ has with the multi-module project.

Fixed​

  • Fixed mapping that still using the DataRef(String) constructor.

Changed​

  • Updated Struts2 from 6.3.0 to 6.3.0.1.
  • Marked option finders.enableTypedFinders as redundant.

5.33.2 (2023-09-18)​

Fixed​

  • [NSX-372] Fixed imports for Ln03 ConnectorFields in CommandPojoExpander

5.33.1 (2023-09-12)​

Fixed​

  • Replaced a left-over use in the Cruds class of new DataRef(Long) when using Ln05 fields.

5.33.0 (2023-09-11)​

Added​

Added new syntax to mapping files (use xmlns="https://schemas.normalizedsystems.org/xsd/expanders/2023/1/0/mapping")

  • A new syntax has been added to simplify imports First, add an artifact definition. It defines the current artifact location and import resolution strategy. 
    <artifact this="dataElement.qualifiedName + 'Bean'" importStrategy="java"/>
    Next, add uses statements to start adding imports. These statements can be interleaved with list and group statements. 
    <uses eval="'jakarta.ejb.Stateless'"/>
    In the template, add @imports to insert the imports.
  • group statements will now insert a null value in the model if their condition returns false and no other value with that name exists. The previous behaviour was to skip this value entirely. The result is that you can now use <if(group)> in the templates, even at root level.

Added 2 ArtifactImportStrategies, which can be selected in the artifact definition in the mapping file:

  • java: resolves imports for java files. Includes filters for duplicates, java.lang classes and same package.
  • AMD: resolves imports for AMD styles js modules. The @imports line will be replaced with define([...], function(...) {.

Changed​

  • Marked methods for deprecation:
    • Bean.getDataRef(Long)
    • Bean.getDetails(Long)
    • Bean.getDetails(DataRef)
  • Refactored various uses of deprecated methods of ParameterContext.
  • In many places, the imports of files have been streamlined to reduce the number of redundant imports. This can mean that will need to add an import with custom code if the code made use of the import.
  • All struts endpoints in the nsx-json-application now require authentication.
  • Updated Struts2 from 6.2.0 to 6.3.0.
  • All expansion runners were refactored to implemented Consumable<T> instead of IExecutor<T>:
    • AdditionalExpansionStepRunner
    • ArtifactExpanderRunner
    • ArtifactHarvester
  • Marked net.democritus.acl.struts2.UserContextRetriever as final.

Removed​

  • Removed all uses of ParameterContextFactory. The option legacy.parameterContextFactory.enable can temporarily be added on the Application to re-enable it. (Expires 2024-03-01)
  • Removed Bean.getInfo(Long). (Deprecated since 2019-03-11)
  • Removed {Component}Agents classes. The option legacy.agentRepository.enable can temporarily be added on the Application to re-enable it. (Expires 2024-03-01)
  • Removed option expanders.mappingReader.useSingleEqualsComparator, which was part of the original experimental mapping setup and not used anywhere.
  • Removed options disableStrictLinkMode and disableFixNullableLn02. These options had been added in version 4.0.1 to remain backwards compatible, but have now been officially removed.
  • Removed expired option experimental.openjpa.CharacterColumnSize.
  • Removed expired option legacy.cruds.getProjection.emptyOnError.
  • Removed expired option legacy.projectionDetailedConstructor.reenable.
  • Removed deprecated method ExpansionJobManager.runForAll(). (Deprecated since 2022-02-21)

5.32.1 (2023-08-29)​

Changed​

  • Pushed back the expiration date of the option showLinkDetails by 3 months to 2024-01-01.

5.32.0 (2023-08-28)​

Added​

  • Added FinderResolver class, which is called from the logic bean find() method to resolve the DataRefs for fields in FieldOperatorPairs, so it is not required for the database identifier to be in the DataRef ahead of calling find().

Changed​

  • Updated ognl:ognl: 3.3.4 -> 3.4.2
  • Typed finders are now enabled by default. The option legacy.typedFinders.disable can temporarily be added on the Application to disable this behavior. (Expires 2024-03-01)
  • Moved maven-surefire-plugin to plugin management in root POM, as it is included by default by Maven.
  • Marked methods as deprecated for removal:
    • Agent.getDataRef(Long)
    • Agent.getInfo(Long)
    • Agent.getDetails_old(Long)
    • Agent.getDetails(Long)
  • [NSX-215] Agent.getDetails(DataRef) now calls getProjection() so it is consistent with the implementation in LocalAgent, which works with an unresolved DataRef.
  • Moved IParamTargetValueProvider from nsx-runtime to application-shared-struts2.
  • Updated nsx-runtime: 2023.5.0 -> 2023.6.1

Removed​

  • [NSX-323] Removed deprecated method CommandPreparer.getUserContext(). (Deprecated since 2022-03-16)
  • [NSX-323] Removed deprecated method DetailsPreparer.getUserContext(). (Deprecated since 2022-03-16)
  • [NSX-323] Removed deprecated method FindAction.getUserContext(). (Deprecated since 2022-03-16)
  • [NSX-323] Removed deprecated method ModifyAction.getUserContext(). (Deprecated since 2022-03-16)
  • [NSX-323] Removed deprecated method ProjectorAction.getUserContext(). (Deprecated since 2022-03-16)
  • [NSX-323] Removed imports for net.democritus.sys.UserContext. Should be added by custom code if needed:
    • Agent class
    • Agents interface
    • CommandPerformer class
    • CommandPreparer class
    • DetailsPreparer class
    • FindAction class
    • LocalAgent class
    • LocalAgents class
    • ModifyAction class
    • ProjectorAction class
    • ProxyAgents class
  • [NSX-323] Removed imports for net.democritus.acl.struts2.UserContextRetriever where relevant. ContextRetriever should be used instead.

5.30.5 (2023-08-01)​

Merged​

Merged 5.24.0.2 into main.

Temporary fix for struts validators. The name of the validator is defined by the ValueFieldType fullType. There was an attempt to change this to the name of the type instead, but this causes a conflict between validation::Email and the struts email type.

5.30.4 (2023-07-26)​

Fixed​

  • Option vega.transient.taskBean.mImplementation did not get through the model loading process as it was not marked as applicable to Application.

Changed​

  • The test sources and resources for the data layer are no longer included in the build of the logic layer. This behavior can temporarily be re-enabled using the legacy option legacy.maven.logicLayer.includeDataTestSources, which will expire on 2024-01-01.

Removed​

  • Marked option experimental.maven.logicLayer.noDataTestSources as expired legacy option.

5.30.3 (2023-07-19)​

Fixed​

  • Changed names of CSP interceptors in Struts following a breaking change in Struts 6.2.0. Listed in bugfix issue WW-5263.

5.30.2 (2023-07-18)​

Fixed​

  • Removed remaining imports for net.palver.Options.Option in:
    • CommandPreparer
    • DetailsPreparer

Changed​

  • Refactored some code in the expansion framework to use Optional instead of Option.
  • Application menu files for application are now read as UTF-8 encoded files.

Removed​

  • Removed deprecated method ApplicationMenuResolver.getApplicationNavigation(). (Has been deprecated for two years.)

5.30.1 (2023-07-13)​

Changed​

  • Legacy option legacy.dynamicTaskDelegation.reenable now includes the new switch-case to allow for a better migration path.

5.30.0 (2023-07-12)​

Added​

  • Added temporary deprecated method Optional<String> some(String) to the Cruds class, for backwards compatibility of the getCustomDisplayName() method. This method will be removed in the future, but this will allow some time to transition the implementation of that method to use Optional.of() instead of some().

Changed​

  • Replaced the Options.Option return type of private methods with Optional in several expanded Struts actions:
    • <dataElement>ExporterAction
    • <dataElement>FindAction
    • <dataElement>ModifyAction
  • Changed the return type of <component>ApplicationSettings.getProperty(String) from Options.Option to Optional.

Removed​

  • Removed imports for Options.Option in Cruds and Bean classes. (If they are still in use by custom code, either immediately refactor to java.util.Optional, or add the imports in custom anchors.)

5.29.0 (2023-07-11)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed link to struts dtd file in all struts XML files, as it was still targeting http instead of https.

Changed​

  • Updated Struts2 from 6.1.2.1 to 6.2.0.

Removed​

  • Removed all supporting code and expanders for Struts2 versions 2.3 and 2.5, given that the option struts.version has expired on July 1st.
  • The net.democritus.utils.action.StrutsParameterRetriever class was removed, as it was only used in base-components.

5.28.1 (2023-06-30)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed StrutsValidatorXmlExpander for ValueFieldTypes where the fullType starts with uppercase. The validators will now be registered with the first letter in lowercase.

5.28.0 (2023-06-30)​

Added​

  • Added support for TaskOutcomes, expands an enum as return type.
  • Added noDelegation TaskElement option to opt-out of Task delegation.

    • legacy.noTaskPerform.reenable to disable the default perform method on tasks.
  • Added snake_case formatting attributes for expander mapping and templates.

Changed​

  • Task implementation lookup is no longer dynamic (Class.forName) and instead uses a switch with all known implementation classes.
  • Deprecated the following options, these are now default behavior:
    • includePerform TaskElement option (expires 01-01-2024)
    • includeDelegation TaskElement option (expires 01-01-2024)

Removed​

  • Removed Example2Expander for the <TaskElement>Impl2 class (unless legacy option is used).

Fixed​

5.24.0.1 (2023-07-20)​

Fixed​

  • (Backport 5.25.1) Updated Struts2 from 6.1.2 to 6.1.2.1. (Addresses CVE-2023-34149 and CVE-2023-34396)

  • [generateArtifactLabel] Fixed artifactLabel not being included in the application root pom

Removed​

  • Removed long-obsolete ReporterExpander hidden behind now removed dataOption struts.reporter.enable
  • Removed JndiProperties and ComponentJNDI imports from BeanExpander as neither was relevant since 4.0 rewrite
  • Removed support for MonoLogger

These artifacts have been removed. Since they are internal artifacts, no issues are expected

  • Removed expanders-skeleton module
  • Removed ValueFieldTypeMapping.xml
  • Removed FlowElementExpanderMapping.xml

For clones of the ValueFieldTypeMapping.xml file, here is a newly optimized version of the properties:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

</mapping>

5.4.3 (2022-01-04)​

Added​

  • [NSX-204] Add field option view.linkfield.displayField which specifies the field to use in the experimental linkFieldInput through the experimental.view.linkFieldInput option.

5.4.2 (2021-12-17)​

Added​

[NSX-161] Option persistence.secondLevelCache on DataElement to enable second level cache. Currently only available for Hibernate 5 and is activated with SearchDetails.setAllowCaching(true).

5.4.1 (2021-12-13)​

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-200] Fixed FinderBean not using {DataElement}Data.ENTITY_NAME and not applying jpa.entity.name.format option
    • requires peer-dependency net.democritus:base-components:2021.6.1 for a custom harvest fix

5.4.0 (2021-12-06)​

Removed​

  • [VEGA-193] Removed unused/obsolete @PostConstruct from BeanExpander
    • requires peer-dependency net.democritus:base-components:2021.6.0
  • Removed unused/obsolete uninitialized initalContext attributes from BeanExpander, EngineBeanExpander, and ProxyExpander
  • Removed original onion/test specs; only expanded (prime-core) test-specs are now available

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-186] Fixed some copying steps (ext, harvest) not following active layer configuration (copying no{X}Layer files)

5.3.4 (2021-12-06)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed linkfieldInput rendering dataElements with nameNotWanted, hasDisplayName and functionalKey as [Object object]

5.3.3 (2021-11-24)​

Fixed​

  • [NSX-193] Fixed getStatus(), getStatusAsEnum() return type in case of noDataLayer

5.3.2 (2021-11-24)​

Added​

  • [NSX-161] Added fetch-after-create-queries anchors to FinderBean.fetchData().

Fixed​

  • [NSX-198][UI][NG] Hide tabs in waterfall setup for elements to which the users does not have view access

5.3.1 (2021-11-22)​

Fixed​

  • [VEGA-196] Fixed expansion option hideAnchors failing on .properties expanders

5.3.0 (2021-11-22)​

Changed​

  • [tests] The method FeatureExpanderTester#testAnchor() has been changed. In previous versions, the method would ignore the name of the test method and instead construct the template name based on the anchor name ( e.g. test_anchor_myAnchor).
    This has now been changed to use the name of the test method instead, which is more in line with the other methods. Note that this only affects feature tests, not regular expander tests, where the ExpanderTester#testAnchor() method already had this behaviour.
  • [NSX-194] Move the getData-strategy anchors in the Cruds classes to a separate method, so that the getData-after anchors are reached in case of a defined strategy.
  • [NSX-195] Made Cruds.getName() opt-in. Add transient.cruds.useGetName to add getName() to the Cruds classes.

Added​

  • Added option harvest.skip that skips harvest for that component/module. (primarily useful for model resources)

Fixed​

  • before-harvest and after-harvest are now correctly ignored for base-components. This prevents issues with harvest files in base-components being cleaned during harvest. [VEGA-195]

Removed​

  • Temporarily removed model information (number of elements, harvests, etc.) from ApplicationPropertiesExpander for technical reasons
  • Removed expansion trace from core, it now lives in net.democritus:expansion-tracer expansion bundle instead

5.2.10 (2021-11-22)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed getStatus(), getStatusAsEnum(), setStatus(), setStatusAsEnum() method in case of noDataLayer

5.2.9 (2021-11-16)​

Added​

  • [NSX-189] Enable findAll to be used as searchMethod on the find-json struts endpoint
  • [NSX-189] Implement hasDisplayName option in experimental.view.linkFieldInput
  • [NSX-190] Enable experimental.view.linkFieldInput for commands
  • Added Data Option view.buttons.commands, which adds buttons to NG pages to open command forms. Primarily useful for prototyping and quickly testing new DataCommand features

5.2.4 (2021-10-18)​

Fixed​

  • Moved ApplicationSettings to shared layer.

5.2.3 (2021-10-18)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issues when trying to use Component in program other than Application
  • Improved CsvMerger feature so that update happens in one call per instance.
  • Fixed CsvMerger not creating new instances on import

Added​

  • Added more custom anchors to CsvMerger feature

5.2.1 (2021-10-07)​

Fixed​

  • It was no longer possible to expand export() and importFile() pipelines without the use of the includeCsvImport and includeCsvExport options. This functionality is now available separately with the io.import and io.export options for the DataElement.
  • Now using correct classLoader in ArtifactPathModelBuilder

Removed​

  • Removed deprecated transient option io.strutsAction.

5.2.0 (2021-10-01)​

Added​

  • [NSX-152] Added applicationInstanceOption csv.import.merge, which changes the CSV import so that the imported fields are merged into the existing data, as opposed to the original implementation, which overwrites all fields.

5.1.6 (2021-10-01)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue where dataRegistry would not be filled in for expansionContexts in tests with external metamodels

5.1.5 (2021-09-30)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ComponentRootPomExpander so that it creates a valid pom.xml file when one of the layers is not included in the expansionContext (based on moduleType+options).

5.1.4 (2021-09-30)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ExpansionContextCreator for metamodels like scripts metamodel (see examples), where the expansionContext is not rooted in a custom ExpansionContextFactory

5.1.3 (2021-09-29)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issues with maven selecting wrong onion-spec-runtime version when adding expanders-test-utils as dependency alongside another dependency depending on onion-spec-runtime

5.1.2 (2021-09-25)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ExpansionContextCreator so it can be used without custom ExpansionContextFactory classes

5.1.1 (2021-09-24)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue in ApplicationPropertiesExpander with technologies where concernType=null

Removed​

  • Removed ANT file mapping from ArtifactPathBuilderMapping

5.1.0 (2021-09-22)​

Added​

  • Application option experimental.view.linkFieldInput will activate a new knockout implementation for many-to-one linkFields. For now, options for the binding will have to be provided with custom code in the -form.js file.
  • Added camelCase format option and asCamelCase shorthand for expander templates.
  • Implemented cruds.bulk.delete for knockout v1 (NSX KNOCKOUT OG)

Changed​

  • Changed view layer expanders to use NSX KNOCKOUT OG/NG technologies, which replace the version on PresentationSettings. PresentationVersionHelper is now obsolete.
  • Updated ApplicationPropertiesExpander to use more of the modern composite API
  • Bean methods importFile/exportFile are now only expanded when includeCsvImport/includeCsvExport option is defined [VEGA-178]

Removed​

  • Removed some obsolete references to COCOON

Fixed​

  • Fixed some logic still using ApplicationExpansionSettings
  • Fixed support for elementType any
  • Fixed external metamodel expansions being run twice (once by generic ExpansionRunner classes and once in dedicated ExpansionStep)
  • Fixed ExpansionRunner causing ConcurrentModificationException in some cases

5.0.2 (2021-08-25)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ClassNotFoundException with some external metamodels

5.0.1 (2021-08-23)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue with loading of ValueFieldTemplates
  • Fixed isDetailsOnly option still expanding finders etc.

5.0.0 (2021-08-23)​

Added​

  • Added support for driving expansion based on programTypes, moduleTypes and expandableElements.

Changed​

  • Application is now an expandable element, and Component now has Application as its parent in the expansion hierarchy. Expanding with ApplicationInstance still works as before.
  • Expansion now uses specialized ExpansionRunner classes instead of expanded classes. Old setups using expansionSteps should still work, but easier alternatives are now available using dataResources describing expandable elements.
  • ApplicationExpansionSettingsComposite has been replaced with the ExpansionSettingsComposite. A stubbed object is still available, but it is highly recommended switching to the new composite class.
  • ExpansionJobManager has a new method submit(Consumer<T>, Iterable<T>) to submit new tasks, which replaces the outdated IExecutor interface with the java 8 Consumer interface.

Technologies and Layers

  • Layers are decided by the ModuleType and ProgramType configuration. These include all applicable layers. In case you have expanders that introduce a new layer, the correct way to add the layer is to define a new ModuleType and ProgramType with your new layer included.
  • Technologies are decide by the linked TechnologyStacks. If your expanders introduce a new Technology, users will have to add it to their technologyStacks.

Removed​

  • Removed ANT expanders

4.19.5 (in 5.0.0)​

Changed​

  • [presentationSettings 2.*] Individual root html pages (with <head>, etc.) are no longer expanded for each dataElement
    • instead struts direct the requests to a a single jsp page that launches an appropriate input model
  • [presentationSettings 2.*] DataElement's HTML page no longer contains inline scripts to allow for strict CSP
  • Changed favicon URL path /$application$/images/pageIcon.ico to ../../images/favicon.ico (both paths normalize to the same location)
    • place your favicon to applications/$application$/ext/view-ext/knockout/images/favicon.ico

Removed​

  • [presentationSettings 2.*] Removed obsolete jqplot loading, and dead graph features (hasCountByStatusGraph and hasCountPerHourGraph)
  • [presentationSettings 2.*] removed inline script setting obsolete window['NSX']
    • requires peer-dependency web-styles 2021.2.0
  • [presentationSettings 2.*] removed root HTML pages for each dataElement and its IO
    • to force their expansion, use applicationInstanceOption transient.ui.expandRootPages
    • ext pages created by copy-pasting regular ones can mostly be removed and replaced in struts with /jsp/ps2/page.jsp?pageModel={path-to-ext-page-model-js-file} (without extension), e.g. /jsp/ps2/page.jsp?pageModel=testComp/Person/custom-page-model

Fixed​

  • [NSX-131] uniqueKey validation in Bean moved from @preCreate, @preModify, and @preCreateOrModify to their @pre-validation anchor counterparts.
  • [NSX-144] isRequired validation in Cruds moved from @preCreate, @preCreate-projection, @preModify, and @preModify-projection to their @pre-validation anchor counterparts.

Added​

  • [JPA] Ln04 linkFields now support fieldOption hasOtmMappedBy [NSX-172]

4.19.2 (2021-07-15)​

Fixed​

  • [cruds] resolveDataRef and findData now returns error if the the functional key is malformed (such as having null or empty fields) [NSX-69]
  • [finders] functional key no longer requires explicit findBy<fk_fields> finder (also requires prime-core 2021.3.1+)

4.19.1 (2021-07-08)​

Reverted​

  • [finders] Reverted FinderBean generics signatures (<T>) back to wildcard signatures (<?>) due to downstream incompatibility

4.19.0 (2021-07-05)​

Added​

  • [finders] Added customizable finders via finderOption isCustomizableFinder [NSX-164]
    • customizable finder expands like a regular finder, however it provides customization anchors within the FinderBean
  • [finders] Added finderOption noViewLayer to exclude a finder from the UI
    • supported by both 2.x and 1.x UI
  • [finders] Added Gte and Lte operators [NSX-157]
  • [finders] Added Null, Notnull, In, and Nin (not in) operators [NSX-117],[NSX-157]
    • no UI support yet; use them with customizable, custom, or noViewLayer finders
    • see foundation for the semantics of these finders
  • [core] Added support for SQL anchor comment formats (line -- %s, block /*%s*/)
  • [maven] Added applicationInstanceOption experimental.maven.logicLayer.noDataTestSources to no longer compile data layer test sources and test resources second time within the logic layer pom
  • [NSX-163] Added field option validation.listField. This option adds a validation in the bean class, which matches incoming values of that field with the options configured in the TagValuePair table. If the value is not a valid option, the validation will return an error.

Fixed​

  • [NSX-130] Added missing uniqueKey validation to createOrModify method in the bean

4.17.1 (2022-01-19)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed web.xml containing duplicate @servlets and custom-servlets anchors

4.17.0 (2021-06-15)​

Added​

  • Added valueListTag to connectorField. By provided a value, the field will be rendered as a dropdown, where the options will be selected based on the matching instances in the TagValuePair table. (Only for expanded command form)

4.16.3 (2021-06-08)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed some issues with the experimental.workflow.batchLess option:
    • Exclude duplicate instances
    • Prevent double check if initial find did not return any results

4.16.2 (2021-06-08)​

Changed​

  • Changed SQL Server dialect for Hibernate to SQLServer2012Dialect to have support for native sequences. Versions of SQL server older than 2012 are no longer supported by Microsoft as af May 2020.

4.16.1 (2021-05-17)​

Added​

  • Added clean-harvest support for harvest and test directories; fixed some edge cases for ext harvesting
  • Added DataElement option vega.localInterface.enableExtends to enable extending DataElement's Local interface
    • note that vega.*, rigel.*, and other star-named options are not be used without prior consultation

4.16.0 (2021-05-07)​

Added​

  • [experimental] Added applicationInstance option experimental.workflow.useExecutorService, which enables the workflow to run with an executorService. The api of the executorService allows us to more efficiently chain tasks. This can improve throughput for workflows where there is a large difference between the time for each task in the batch.

    To get this to work on TomEE, you will also need to add the following to your tomee.xml:

    <Resource id="executorService" type="ManagedExecutorService">
      Core = 10
      Max = 25
      KeepAlive = 5 s
      Queue = 15
      ThreadFactory = org.apache.openejb.threads.impl.ManagedThreadFactoryImpl
      Lazy = true
    </Resource>

    Also note that the queue size should be correctly configures for all workflows. Otherwise, the executorService might start rejecting tasks from simultaneous workflow runs.

    To get this to work on another application server, configure the ManagedExecutorService and then add a ParamTargetValue with paramName workflow.executorService.jndiName, target ExecutorServiceTaskProcessor and value equal to the jndiName of the ManagedExecutorService.

  • [experimental] Added flowElement option experimental.workflow.batchLess. This will change the EngineBean so that it fetches new instances when executing tasks. With this change, the EngineBean will relentlessly try to execute all possible tasks for each StateTask in one run. Note that this feature can create issues, so keep these considerations in mind:

    • If there is a cycle in the workflow, this can cause the run to go on endlessly .
    • Each StateTask is still executed sequentially, meaning it can take a while before the 2nd, 3rd etc. task are executed. You can combine this option with sequencingStrategy=greedy to improve the response time.
    • The settings works best with claims, since that prevents the same instance from being fetched twice. Though without, there will not be any functional problems. (The count of tasks processed may yield strange results though)

Changed​

  • The EngineBeanExpander now prefers a finder with Se to Eq when selecting the correct finder.
  • The EngineBeanExpander will explicitly check for the existence of the finder used when fetching a new batch during expansion.

4.15.5 (2021-05-06)​

Changed​

  • When Hibernate 5 is selected with an Oracle Database as target, the Oracle 12c dialect is now used.

4.15.4 (2021-05-03)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed artifact file naming in expansionTrace not being relative
  • Fixed featureSegments in expansionTrace to also contain expanderFeature reference and feature anchor name (with @ prefix)

4.15.3 (2021-04-30)​

Reverted​

  • Revert change that made ExporterActionExpander and ImporterActionExpander always expand, not just with options includeCsvExport and includeCsvImport. While this change was made to promote the usage of expanded code for exporting/importing, it can create collisions with existing custom code. Hence, the actions are now only expanded with the csv options, or with the component option io.strutsAction.

4.15.2 (2021-04-27)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed error when expanding ExporterActionExpander with a DataElement without finders. Note: This has only been added for backwards compatibility. To ensure regular behaviour, it is required to at least add a findAll finder.

4.15.1 (2021-04-22)​

Added​

  • Added several feature anchors for noDataLayer in BeanExpander

4.15.0 (2021-04-15)​

Added​

  • Added some variables to artifact path scope for easier customization:
    • isHarvest: a boolean value that is true iff running a harvest. You can use this to specify where the harvest files should end up. E.g <artifactPath>$if(isHarvest)$$componentRoot.directory$/foo$else$$application.root$/foo/components/$element.component.name$$endif$/sub/path</artifactPath
    • technologyDir: the subdirectory for the expander's technology setting. E.g. build/$technologyDir$/ will translate to build/common or build/ejb etc.
    • sourceDir: the subdirectory for the expander's sourceType setting. E.g. main/$sourceType$ will translate to main/src or main/js
    • genDir: will translate to gen/ during expansion, or an empty string during harvest
    • expansionRoot.directory: the root directory of the expansion
  • Added kebab format for stringtemplates (and artifactPath), which converts camelcase to dashed lowercase
  • Added ApplicationOptionType/ComponentOptionType experimental.persistence.defaultIdentifier to be used with values sequence or identityColumn to consistently specify the use of a sequence or identity column for id generation in the database
  • Added ApplicationOptionType/ComponentOptionType experimental.persistence.sequence.defaultSchema to set a custom schema when experimental.persistence.defaultIdentifier: sequence is used, instead of defaulting to the component schema
  • Added ApplicationOptionType/ComponentOptionType experimental.persistence.sequence.defaultName to set a custom sequence name when experimental.persistence.defaultIdentifier: sequence is used, instead of defaulting to NS_SEQUENCE

4.14.1 (2021-04-09)​

Reverted​

  • Reverted addition of combined sources jars due to deployment conflicts

    • e.g. fieldOption("experimental.valueFieldType.storageType : varchar : 1024")
  • Merged v4.11.9

Changed​

  • [struts2] Agents are now initialized in a prepare step for most struts actions, so that interceptors have the chance to run first.

Changed​

  • The title in the menu of a page has been changed to a separate property (<component>.<element>.menu.title)
  • Renamed expansionOption disableExpansionTrace to expansion.trace.enable (and flipped the logic)
  • Renamed expansionOption exportTraceZip to expansion.trace.exportToZip
    • if defined, relative paths are now resolved against expansionSettings.expansionDirectory

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue with bulk delete dialog throwing error when delete action is not allowed
  • Fixed imports for CascadeDelete
  • Fixed ComponentRootPomExpander ignoring applicationInstanceOption no{name}Layer
  • Added experimental applicationInstanceOption experimental.maven.noViewPom to exclude view from maven reactor

4.12.4 (2021-02-11)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ModifyAction expander and struts reference option conditions not in sync

4.12.3 (2021-02-11)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed ModifyAction being referenced in struts element xml without cruds.modifyWithProjection option

4.12.2 (2021-02-09)​

Changed​

  • Made createWithProjection() and modifyWithProjection() optional.
    • Add cruds.createWithProjection to add createWithProjection(). This will move the create anchors in the cruds class, so check for any broken custom code.
    • Add cruds.modifyWithProjection to add modifyWithProjection(). This was the behaviour for the previous versions.
  • The createOrModify() method implementation will be different depending on which methods are available (see options above).

Removed​

  • Removed BeanAnchor expanders

4.12.1 (2021-01-26)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue with legacy.searchDataRefMethods.reenable
  • Do not expand for legacy.oldCollectionMethods.reenable and legacy.oldSearchMethods.reenable with noDataLayer
  • Using finders.enableTypedFinders resulted in a compilation error

4.12.0 (2021-01-14)​

Added​

  • Added createOrModify() method that updates an instance if it already exists in the database and creates it otherwise.
  • Added createWithProjection() method to create an instance with a projection
  • Added resolveDataRef() method that takes any DataRef and returns a DataRef with database values, if it exists.
  • Added delete(dataRef) method to replace the delete based on id
  • Added ApplicationInstance options to replace settings in GlobalOptionSettings:
    • struts.security.custom replaces useJavaEESecurity=TRUE, or, don't have account component in your application
    • struts.security.csrfProtection replaces useCsrfProtection
    • struts.security.enforceHttpMethod replaces enforceHttpMethod
    • baseCompsMode=NONE can be replaced with leaving out the account component Old behaviour is kept backwards compatible:
    • useJavaEESecurity=TRUE and baseCompsModel=NONE always activate, even if there is an account component present
    • csrfProtection and enforceHttpMethod can be activated both with the new options and the GlobalOptionSettings
  • To enable soft delete, cruds.softDelete can be used instead of naming a field disabled
  • Added DataElementFindDetails interface for every DataElement, which is implemented by the FindDetails class of every Finder when using the ApplicationInstance option finders.enableTypedFinders
  • Constraint on type of the finder in all find() methods to prevent the use of finders with agents of different DataElements when using the ApplicationInstance option finders.enableTypedFinders
  • New implementation for mapping finders to their implementation without reflection when targeting at least Java 8 and using the ApplicationInstance option finders.enableTypedFinders
  • Added a number of descriptions to expanders, expansionSteps and expansionResources
  • Added several feature anchors to task artifacts
  • Added several feature anchors for commands

Fixed​

  • Cleaned up inconsistencies in html templates
  • Removed some redundant imports
  • Fixed an issue with using strictly equals for flowElement in InterruptRecoverer

Changed​

  • Projector classes now use resolveDataRef() to resolve linkFields during create/modify, meaning functionalKeys will also be resolved. (This previously worked only for Ln02)
  • Projector classes now return projection.getDataRef() in the getDataRef() method, which should include more data
  • As a result of the previous change, modify() now correctly fetches the target instance based on name or functionalKey, not just on id

Removed​

Removed several outdated methods. To revert them, use the following options:

  • legacy.oldCollectionMethods.reenable: raw methods to fetch collections
  • legacy.oldSearchMethods.reenable: raw methods to search instances
  • legacy.logicDataMethods.reenable: methods in bean using Data class or other data layer artifacts
  • legacy.relationRetrievalMethods.reenable: methods in agent to fetch instances of related dataElements
  • legacy.searchDataRefMethods.reenable: methods to search instances with a SearchDataRef object instead of the more modern finder objects

Note​

  • nsx-actions.js:performSearch() uses the searchDataRef-based find action. So if you wish to use this method, enable legacy.searchDataRefMethods.reenable

  • field-type-expanders contains essentials for value-field-types
  • functional-key-expanders contains essentials for functional key dataRefs
  • Tester classes now use PrimeDataLoader from elements-ioxml, since it provides better support for additional data-resources outside prime-data.

If undefined or set to redirect, the application will redirect unauthorized users to the relogin page. If set to error-page, a dedicated unauthorized error-page will be expanded.
  • ApplicationInstanceOption struts.unauthorized.json will define the response on an unauthorized json request. The option value should be status <statusCode> where statusCode is 401 or another http status code. A result will be added to struts that returns this status code.

  • Added several custom and feature anchors in InstanceFormHtmlExpander and InstanceFormJsExpander

Changed​

  • Expanders will now generate more /gen/ directories on application level to prevent build failures if those directories are added to layerImplementations, but none of the related expanders were activated.

    • anchor:custom-post-export
    • anchor:custom-map-instance

  • New anchors in CsvImporterImplExpander:

    • anchor:custom-post-import
    • anchor:custom-post-persist

Changed​

  • Methods importFile() and export() in bean now define an importResult or exportResult, which is returned at the end of the method. This allows for new anchors. Though usual customisations should not be broken, it might be worthwhile to check whether the code may need to be cleaned up.

  • Expanded EditorConfig now includes support for .html files.

4.2.0 (2020-02-07)​

Added​

  • Added runExpansionStep() method to ExpanderTester and FeatureTester to run expansionSteps before testing. This can be useful if the expansionStep adds an option to the model or applies some other modification necessary for the test.
  • Projection pojo's getDataRef() methods now return typed DataRef classes if functionalKey is defined
  • Otherwise, the getDataRef() methods return DataRefs with component, packageName and className filled in
  • EditorConfig file, which is applied to all gen (and gen_test) folders to ensure a consistent code formatting. This can be disabled using the ApplicationInstance option editorconfig.disabled. The rules can also be applied globally ( also to ext and test) using the ApplicationInstance option editorconfig.global.
  • The field option generateUuid will inject code to generate a new UUID in the create-afterProjection feature anchor of the cruds create method. This will ensure that a new UUID is generated and stored for these fields when an instance of the DataElement is created. The option is applicable to fields with a String or byte[] storage type.
  • For all active technologies a gen_test folder will be expanded with java and resources subfolders to allow expanders to expand unit tests that can be harvested.

Changed​

  • Struts Expanders now target Struts-2.5
    • requires baseComponents 2020.2.0+ and nsx-runtime 2020.2.0+
  • Behavior of suffix parameter for feature anchors is now the same as the behavior of the suffix parameter in inline feature anchors. This means that the suffix will now be placed only after the last feature injected. The separator parameter is now also available, which places the separator in between all features. The combination of the separator and suffix parameters will mimic the previous behavior suffix, where it was placed after every injected feature. A prefix parameter was also added just as it is available in inline feature anchors. The prefix is placed in front of the first feature. E.g. @anchor:featurename(suffix : ', ')' is now @anchor:featurename(separator : ', ', suffix : ', ')'.

Fixed​

  • Fixed bug in ExpansionJobManager that in some occasions would skip additional tasks added by additionalExpansionStep.

4.1.1.1 (2020-02-07)​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issue with manyToMany fields in old UI. The issue was caused by initializing the fields incorrectly in the <dataElement>-ko-mapper.js scripts.

Fixed​

  • Fixed TaskElement Proxy using getTaskRemoteName for LOCAL-only lookup

4.1.0 (2020-01-22)​

Added​

  • Added before-harvest and after-harvest phases to the harvest runner.
  • Added ExpansionStepTester class to facilitate the implementation of tests of applicability conditions for additional expansion steps.
  • Added custom-annotations-getter-id and custom-annotations-setter-id anchors in Data class.

Changed​

  • <Element>Cruds::project() now takes Context as input and only Data objects of the correct DataElement
  • Removed noCache result parameters from StrutsElementExpander. To reinsert them, use applicationInstance option struts.useNoCacheResult. These parameters have been removed because they overwrote the behaviour of the NoCachingInterceptor, which is more complete.
  • Value field type pojo comparison will now use identity comparison by default
  • Value field type pojo now provides a default hashcode function. Any custom implementation needs to be moved into the custom anchors. This can be disabled by adding componentOption valueFieldType.disableHashCodeMethod.
  • Table names are now escaped in the @Table annotations in the Data classes. This prevents collisions with reserved words in certain databases, such as User in SQL Server. This behavior can be disabled with the ApplicationInstanceOption db.schema.disableEscapeTableName.

Fixed​

  • ValueFieldTypePojoExpander now only runs if valueFieldType.customTransportClass is false
  • Classes interacting with trees will now use the actual field name for children instead of the name of the child dataElement.
  • Fixed names for abbreviations in translation files (e.g. 'ETB' instead of 'e t b')
  • CALCULATED_FIELD with isRequired are no longer added to Projector's checkRequired()
  • CALCULATED_FIELD with custom valueFieldType now correctly returns valueTypeClass in Cruds
  • @expanderComment in test STG templates is no longer tied to specific comment formats

  • [experimental] Stop expansion on first error instead of collecting all failures first
    • toggled by -Dexpanders.expansion.failFast=true|false (false by default)
  • Added basic test-template caching

Fixed​

    • anchor:custom-end-error
    • anchor:custom-end-after
    • anchor:custom-revert-before

  • Restored names of enums for DataState to be backwards compatible with some edge cases

4.0.1 (2019-06-21)​

Added​

  • DataElements can define the option functionalKey

  • The flow option setBatchFinder will allow you to modify the finder used to find the next batch in your EngineBean

  • Finders can now use the Se (strictly equals) operator. In this case, only the = operator will be used in JPA and not, in case of a String, the LIKE operator.

    The Se operator can be used to e.g. findByStatusSe, which can then be used in the setBatchFinder option to avoid using a slow LIKE operator in your engineBean.

Changed​

  • In previous versions, if a linkfield was set in the Cruds-class, any failure to find the linked instance would be ignored and the link would not be said. The setters have now been made stricter and will throw an exception should this occur. In order to avoid this behavior, use the application instance option disableStrictLinkMode.

    This will prevent the cruds layer from silently ignoring incorrect link fields during an import.

Fixed​

  • A bug has been fixed where a Ln02 link field could not be set to null. This fix can be disabled with the application instance option disableFixNullableLn02.

4.0.0 (2019-06-12)​

Added​

  • Option hasTranslation now works for name field and findByNameEq finder
  • Option hasTranslation on field will be used for the translation of the corresponding finders the translation properties for the English translation will now contain correct English translations the pom.xml files of different layers may contain new source and resource directories to be more consistent with the ANT build

Fixed​

  • Options no*Layer are now correctly applied, mainly when added as component options. If any artifacts are missing, check for options

Changed​

  • Rework of the expander framework. The features of the expanders have been kept the same as the previous versions. The biggest changes will be in the use and extension of the expansion. There might be some small variations/improvements to the previous versions.
  • The classes in the client layer have been changed to allow version transparency between changes of a dataElement
  • The order of harvested anchors may change. Therefore it is best to harvest and commit these changes before making any functional changes. For more information, see harvest sorting.
  • The expansion from the PR will now take the CustomRepository of your components in account when expanding the application. Which means that if this repository is different from the customRepository of the applicationInstance, the expanders might be looking in the wrong harvest directories. To fix this, make sure that there is only one directory named after the component in all used source bases.
