[Melati-announce] melati 0.53.5

[Tim J. <ti...@ho...>]

OK,

melati 0.53.5 is now available from http://melati.org

This introduces the following change:

o - DSDs can now be imported into other DSDs giving some level of
modularisation for Melati applications.


To upgrade from Melati 0.53.4 to Melati 0.53.5

You will probably not need to make any changes, but you should be aware of
the following:

1) We no longer provide a getXxxxDatabase() function in each Table and
Persistent. Instead you should either just use getDatabase() or you can use
getXxxxDatabaseTables() to access tables specific to your project. In
particular, getPoemDatabase() is no longer available in the Poem
tables/persisents. So if you call getPoemDatabase() in your code, you should
change it one of getDatabase() or getPoemDatabaseTables(). Similarly, if you
re-run DSD on your project Xxxx then you will need to handle any calls to
getXxxxDatabase(). You can either change them to getXxxxDatabaseTables(),
getDatabase(), or you can add the old function into your non-generated
files: e.g. in MyTable.java add:

 XxxxDatabase getXxxxDatabase() {

    (XxxxDatabase)getDatabase();

 }

2) I have tested this on several databases and although I am fairly
confident that it should work, IF YOU RE-RUN DSD ON YOUR OWN DATABASES YOU
MAY EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS.

3) Your .dsd file must live in the same directory as your compiled code
because it is loaded as a Resource.
