[Objectbridge-developers] OJB 0.5 released !

[Thomas M. <tho...@ho...>]

Hi all,

The ODMG API is now fully implemented, we are LGPL'ed and thus stepping
to the long awaited 0.5 release.

>From the release notes:

Release 0.5.136

changes in this release:

New features:
- OQL parameter binding operation implemented
- OQL filter operations in ODMG Collection implemented
- wrote a tutorial and a code example covering Conversion Strategies
- DListImpl, DBagImpl, DSetImpl, DMapImpl and the respective Iterators
now 
  provide remove() methods

changes, refactorings:
- removed the prefix __ from the OJB internal tables, 
  to allow easier ports to Oracle, DB2 and other DBMS
- to minimize the size of serialized Identities they are now GZIPed
- rewrote the RsIterator methods next() and hasNext() to work even
  with buggy JDBC 2.0 drivers...
- Creation and preparation of prepared Statements now compliant with
JDBC 2.0
  drivers for DB2 and Oracle.
- renamed the package ojb.server to ojb.odmg to better reflect its
content.

   
bug fixes: 
- changed the deletion sequence for dependend objects to prevent 
  referential integrity violations

Open bugs:
- Testmethods in test.ojb.odmg.OdmgExamples still report failures.
  in my development environment (VisualAge) I can't reproduce them...  
  This bug is still open but I have some more information now: this
  bug can only be reproduced with the SUN JVM not with the IBM JVM, so
  I will debug the stuff under the SUN JVM...
  With the SUN JDK 1.3.03 this error does also not occur...


Best regards,

Thomas Mahler
