• xWire Framework Client V1.09 Released!

  A new version of the xWire Framework client (V1.09) has been released. It has been several months and we've been busy adding lots of great features. The xWire Framework client is an ideal framework for writing the client side of an AJAX style application. The xWire Framework is a programmer's toolkit that can be used for either or both the client and server components of an application. The client consists of a Javascript library that allows you to write advanced AJAX style clients that run on either Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera 9. The server can be used to build Java-based web applications. Please participate in our online SourceForge forums to request new features or ask for help in getting started with this toolkit. You can find out more by visiting the project page at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xwireframework. Or, you can read all about the xWire Framework at http://xwireframework.sourceforge.net.

• xWire Server V1.08 Released!

  A new version of the xWire Framework server (V1.08) has been released. The xWire Framework server is an ideal framework for writing the scalable Java web applications and has many features useful for writing the server component of an AJAX-style application. This is the final release of the V1.x server. Significant changes are in store for the framework. The next released version of the framework will be V2.0 and will represent a migration from Struts to the Spring Framework. More new features are coming soon! You can download the server, client and even a sample application to help get you started. We are currently working on a major enhancement to the toolkit that will allow you to create AJAX applications much faster with less coding and reduced complexity.

• xWireFrameworkClient xWireFrameworkClient V1.09 file released: xWireFrameworkClient-V1.09.zip

  10/26/2005 ---------- Initial client code distribution with examples 10/27/2005 - V1.01 ------------------ * Fixed a bug that occurs when an XmlHttp request fails in Firefox, surrounded call with try/catch 11/03/2005 - V1.02 ------------------ * Integrated new DocumentCache Javascript class to support a central cache for XSLT Stylesheets and/or XML Documents * Changed AbstractBrowser and subclasses to allow either a stylesheet URL or an XSLT Document to be passed to the transform function allowing the developer to alter an existing XSLT stylesheet and pass it to the transform function(s) * Added support for LogAppenders (like Log4J) to the Logger so that you can define and add your own appenders. Currently, the only provided LogAppender is the ConsoleAppender which logs messages to a separate browser window * Moved firing of #xmlHttpDocumentRequestFailed from getXmlViaHttp to sendViaHttp to catch all synchronous exceptions 11/04/2005 - V1.03 ------------------ * Added nodeId dynamically to each TreeNode to get around equality issue when using TreeNode's as keys to associative arrays * Added the ability for each TreeNode to know its TreeTable component (if it is part of a TreeTable component) * Added support for creating scrollable HTML tables where the header remains fixed and body scrolls veritically and works in both browsers! 11/14/2005 - V1.04 ------------------ * Add functions to AbstractBrowser and subclasses in support of doing browser compliance checks * Enhanced the sizeTables() function on AbstractBrowser to support any number of scrollable tables, instead of being limited to a header and body table * Added try/catch around logging to prevent client application from stopping if logging is enabled and fails * Enhancement to sizeTables() to better support window resizing. * Bug fix to TreeTable when reusing an HTML table for a new TreeTable, previous rows are removed 12/09/2005 - V1.05 ------------------ * Changed the basic way XPath expressions are evaluated in Firefox browser subclass to make it more flexible * Enhancement to the XMLFormBinder to ignore HTML elements in binding specs that are not found and log a warning using the xWire Logger instead * Fixed some bugs in DateFormat where some functions were invoking non-existant functions and therefore failing if called. * Added cross-browser support to retrieve the HTML document from an IFrame element * Changed the xmlHttp request functions (getXMLViaHttp and sendViaHttp) to pass the XML Document response (or null if error) plus the xmlHttp component on callback functions. This allows the requestor to always get a callback and always get the xmlHttp component back so that it can be further examined and appropriate action taken in each callback. * Added XMLRequestQueue Javascript class to xWire client to manage groups of asynchronous requests. A requestor can create a queue, add asynchronous xmlHttp requests and then send them at once. The queue manages the responses and appropriately invokes the requestor callbacks as each response is received [Mark Nabours contribution]. 03/05/2006 - V1.06 ------------------ * Enhanced TreeTable/TreeNode to allow each node to provide its own images to allow developers the ability to provide custom images instead of using the default folder and leaf images. If a node does not supply its own images, the defaults are still used. * Completely revamped the client event model, referred to now as the V2.0 event model. It is much more flexible and is now more Smalltalk-like, than Java-like. Objects can now register as listeners for events and tell the event source which function to invoke when the event is fired, instead of having the event source determine which function to call. Additionally, listeners can have the event source pass an arbitrary number of arguments along on the callback when the event source fires an event. In summary, the event model is completely rewritten, is much more flexible AND is backward compatible with the old (V1.0) event model. To make it easier to migrate your code to the new event model, deprecated usage of the old event model is logged using the client logging mechanism so that you can more easily find old usages. * Extended the XMLFormBinder so that multiple XML Binding Specifications can be used on a single HTML form. This allows multiple XML data sources to be used to populate a form and for a form to populate multiple XML data sources. Each binding specification can declare a unique alias, which will be used when copying data to and from a form. [Rick Brandt requestor] * Extended the XMLBinder to remove trailing spaces from values before copying them between HTML form elements and XML node(s). [Rick Brandt requestor] * Enhanced TreeTable/TreeNode to significantly improve rendering performance. Certain node attributes are cached once determined. This eliminates the requirement for each node instance to dynamically determine the value of these attributes each time. Also, switched the rendering to append to a DocumentFragment instead of directly updating the live DOM. This too increases rendering performance and provides a mechanism to render larger trees. 05/07/2006 - V1.07 ------------------ * Enhanced the ConsoleLogAppender to render a button into the log window that can be used to clear the log * Added support to DateFormat to parse and render millisecond values in timestamps. Previously, the DateFormat only supported precision down to the second. * Changed the vetoable event mechanism to use false as a veto instead of true * Added a new argument to the #aboutToSwitchPages to include the page being switched from * Fixed a minor bug in the NumberFormat class when attempting to format an integer and add decimal places * Implemented support for Microsoft Explorer 7.x * Added support for newer versions of MSXML, including V5.0 and V6.0 (insures that latest version of objects are used in your applications) 08/30/2006 - V1.08 ------------------ * Enhanced the Tree component to expand all nodes, expand all nodes to a specific level, collapse all nodes, and collapse all nodes to a specific level * Enhanced the TreeNode component to answer all children of a specific node that are of a specific level * Added a new function (getXMLDataIslandDocument) to all supported browsers, which effectively enables support for the <xml> tag in Firefox * Added [beta] COMET (Remote Scripting) support to allow the server to communicate back with the browser client. * Added a new LogAppender that logs messages to a specified URL (thank you to Nathan Bax for his code contribution). * Added support for Firefox 2.0. * Added [beta] support for Opera 9.0. * Added helper functions to the Logger so that the logging level can be easily determined before constructing an expensive logged message. * Enhanced the TreeTable to allow a subclass to override the CSS class for a table row using getCSSClass(). * Enhanced the TreeTable to allow a subclass to decorate each table row using decorateRow(). 01/28/2007 - V1.09 ------------------ * Auto-register events when the first listener is added, if an event has not already been registered. This applies to normal, vetoable, global and remote events. * Enhancements to the COMET support to do a better job of cleaning up processed XML events and their associated scripts. * Parameterized the RemoteEventManager's sleep time (milliseconds) and the number of events handled in each processing cycle (COMET).
