[Equanda-user] [ANN] equanda 0.9.5 released

[Joachim V. d. A. <jo...@pr...>]

equanda 0.9.5 has been released.

For tapestry users the most important changes are
- upgrade to tapestry 5.1.0.5.
- new slider component which allows data entry using the slider or 
direct input.
- new DeltaBar component which displays a from-to percentage grafical 
representation.

Full release notes can be found at
http://jira.equanda.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=10040&styleName=Text&projectId=10000&Create=Create

The 0.9.5 release also includes major changes in the generated EJB/JPA 
components and bugfixes in the generated user interface.

equanda is a framework which allows a highly customizable skeleton JEE
application to be generated from the domain description. This contains
both the perstence layer (EJB3) and web interface (using tapestry5). The
domain model allows a lot of details for the application to be included,
this way these are considered without requiring code to be written. Both
the generated persistence layer and web interface are highly
customizable. All changes in the code are maintained when the domain
model is modified. The generated web interface has detailed
authorization configuration capabilities.

[Equanda-user] TextField IE bug

[Borut B. <bor...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to use
http://www.equanda.org/equanda-tapestry5/textfield.htmland have just
encountered one problem - it works in FF, but not in IE. I am
using

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.equanda</groupId>
            <artifactId>equanda-tapestry5</artifactId>
            <version>0.9.4</version>
        </dependency>

with Tapestry 5.0.18.

Is this a known issue? The http://jira.equanda.org/ is not responding. I
haven't looked in the sources yet as I am javascript newby. Can you give
some pointers?

IE reports "Client Exception processing response Object error"

functionality.

Noteworthy changes include the upgrade to tapestry 5.1. and the 
inclusion of the new TextAreaAutoExpander component in the 
equanda-tapestry5 module.

[Equanda-user] [ANN] equanda 0.9.3 released, equanda-t5navigation

[Joachim V. d. A. <jo...@pr...>]

There is only one significant change in this version, the release of the 
equanda-t5navigation module.

When this module is included in your project, there is easy navigation 
support (which could also be considered mini-conversations). When this 
navigation is applied, you can easily create breadcrumbs which go back 
to a page with the correct state.

See the documentation :
http://equanda.org/equanda-t5navigation/index.html

There is also a simple demo :
http://app.spoon-it.be/t5example/pagea

This module was possible thanks to the base conversation code which was 
made available by Kristian Marinkovic.

[Equanda-user] equanda 0.9.2 has been released

[Joachim V. d. A. <jo...@pr...>]

equanda 0.9.2 has been released. Most important changes :

For the equanda-tapestry5 module

- TreeTable component added
- TextField component which does an ajax call using the field value as 
parameter when the textfield is modified, allow a zone to be updated. 
WHen used in combination with the autocomplete component, you can have 
help while typing the value, and have more info displayed when the field 
data is entered.
- JSPagedLoop does not flash on load and is now faster
- Tabs component can now remember state (using either cookie or 
persistent state)
- the updated demo is available at http://app.spoon-it.be/t5example/

Generated user interface :

- link fields can now be selected by typing the reference (if any)
- detailed (table/field) level authorizations based on rule and 
configuration per user
- upgrade to tapesry 5.0.18 (GA) and chenillekit
- switching between view and edit mode now possible client side
- email and url renderers are provided standard
- performance improvements
- all fixed texts are translated
- full support for all field types in both edit and display mode

Domain model :

- domain model handling now in separate module
- extra details can now be added for "subjectory" mappings. These are 
useful for mapping /converting information between different domain model.
- unique-for constraint added, with full support in object and web layer
- selects now allowed on links with full support in object and web layer

General :

- reworked exception handling to be more general

equanda is a framework which allows a highly customizable skeleton JEE 
application to be generated from the domain description. This contains 
both the perstence layer (EJB3) and web interface (using tapestry5).

[Equanda-user] equanda 0.9.1 released

[Joachim V. d. A. <jo...@tr...>]

The equanda project has released a new version.

equanda is a an open source framework which allows generation of a base 
JEE application, including DAO layer and tapestry5 based user interface 
from a domain model. The DAO layer uses a EJB3 backend with possibility 
for powerful declarative constraints and added programmatic constraints. 
The user interface is component based and allows extensive 
customizations and re-use of components for custom pages. The project 
also contains a generic reusable set of tapestry components and general 
utility code.

This is a further step to making it more feature complete, moving 
towards v1.

Notable changes include :
- multiple select in generated linklist
- inline link components which avoid page navigation
- a Display component which only displays, and does not allow edit is 
now generated
- compare constraint for link field which limits the linked records to 
have the right type</li>
- accordion component can remember state
- new ValidationTrackerDelegate component
- upgrade to tapestry 5.0.14
- many smaller improvements and bugfixes

The main use for me is for documentation purposes. It is very practical 
to take the owl model, import that into protégé and use the Jambalaya 
plugin to create a graphical representation of the entities and the 
links between them.
While I had hoped this would also be possible by experting the model in 
UML (using the xmi format), it seems this does not allow storing a 
graphical representation (at least not in the tools I looked at).

To a large extent, you could also do the reverse mapping, converting owl 
into a equanda domain model and this can then be used to build the 
persistence layer and user interface. The difference being that owl is 
more generic in (data) modelling capabilities but the domain model has 
specific features to add annotations about constraints and hints for the 
user interface.

In the equanda context, you have to keep in mind that it uses code 
generation, and thus a compilation step is necessary to move from model 
(be it owl or equanda's own representation) to a running program. At 
first guess this seems to be a constraint.

Apart from that, I think I need a better understanding of what you want 
to achieve to give proper feedback.

Kind regards,
Joachim

Joachim what are your thoughts on OWL export of the object model? Where
would that be used?
I have to admit I am interested in something else, but have made no
progress, that of the possible use of Tapestry with OWL. Henry Story has the
story (excuse the pun). https://sommer.dev.java.net/sommer.html
It seems to me that if you have implemented the export of the object model
into OWL that is a step away from consuming OWL within Tapestry perhaps by
creating a pipeline?
Might this have some benefit? Henry Story discuses ActiveRDF extension to
Ruby where using RDF seems as natural as importing a package. I think it
would have benefits. Display data according to inferred type and so on.
What do you think?

domain model, has released version 0.9.  
 
equanda generates the EJB3 access objects with possibility for powerful 
declarative constraints and added programmatic constraints. 
equanda also generates a tapestry5 based user interface with powerful

(though the user interface still lacks features). 
 
Notable changes include : 
- initial tapestry5 user interface 
- type handling in field templates now also interprets subtags 
- filter sttring per table 
- improved form traversal in user interface, which also auto switches to 
the next tab 
- allow templates to define extra key-value pairs, possibly overwritten

- fields named "Reference" or "Description" should automatically be 
marked as is-reference or is-description 
- generate UML and OWL from the domain model 
- Improve xml reading/handling in domain model parsing code 
- add selectors on proxies 
- create archetype for empty equanda project 
- tapestry5 accordion component 
- tapestry5 tabs component 
- tapestry5 FormTraversal component 
- add equandaReset() method in proxies to revert the state to the

- Should allow a table type (in the inheritance tree) to be impossible 
to create

[Equanda-user] equanda-tapestry5 0.8.5 removed from svn repo

[Joachim V. d. A. <jo...@tr...>]

equanda-tapestry5, the library of tapestry5 components which are 
independent from the rest of the equanda framework, had an intermediate 
version 0.8.5.

Considering that this had no version history, was not reproducable and 
(in hindsight) contained some problems, this version has been removed 
from the repository now that equanda 0.9 has been released.

If you were using 0.8.5 then you should update your pom.

Sorry for the inconvencience,
Joachim
