Web Fast Forms Beta 3 - 01
------------------------------
This release is an update release of Beta 3 to support Oracle.

To get started with your first example, see docs/WFF implementation of the Ruby on Rails Cookbook example.pdf 
which takes you thru the basic features of Web Fast Forms by using the Code Generator.

Changes:
Beta3-01    (2006-08-30)
===========================

New Features
---------------------------
- Support for Oracle 9i throughout the whole system.
- New WFF Database Configuration Guide doc.pdf
- UserTransactionContext have new getDBType() method which returns 
  an enum from the IDataAccessObject.DATABASE_TYPE that can be used 
  to figure out what database that is in use.
- New FieldSpecification property datapickerForeignPKField can be used to set
  PK in foreign table if datapicker field is not PK in foreign table. 
  (see initial passthru task action field in RbacTaskTableMetadata)

Bug fixes
---------------------------
- TASK DATAPICKER did not work correctly (ROLE and TASK screens):
  * New data in ADD and UPDATE screen was gone on the way back from DATAPICKER
  * If DATAPICKER was the same table as the field associated with DATAPICKER 
   the picked value was set as PK (i.e. initial passthru task picker).
- Changed a lot of the static option lists to use LinkedHashMap instead 
  of unordered HashMap so dropdown lists have items in the order that was
  specified.
- MULTI3 was not working properly. If trying to set Hidden for a 
  task field with Maintain field access via task or role 
  it gave an error. 
- Passthru task only worked if origin task was accessed from Menu.
- DATE and TIME columns in AUDIT_SSN and AUDIT_TRN tables have changed name
  to be usable in Oracle. They clash with Oracle reserved words.
  New column names are SESSION_DATE, SESSION_TIME, TRAN_DATE, TRAN_TIME.
- DATE column in RECIPES have changed name to CREATE_DATE.
