[ojb-users] new release 0.9

[Mahler T. <tho...@it...>]

Hi all,
=20
after some minor problems I managed to assemble a new release.
As I had to fix several bugs to get this release stable, I did not find =
the
time to keep the documentation up to date.
In particular the documentation regarding the repository is out of sync =
due
to the redesigned repository.dtd.

Lasse Lindg=E5rd wrote a stylesheet to transform existing repositories =
to the
new syntax. I hope this will help users to migrate quickly!

From the relase notes:

Changes in Release 0.9



new features:

- Servlet Implementation of PersistenceBrokerServer, allows to

  easily deploy the OJB Server as a normal Http-Servlet

- JDO prototype and sample application. Cuurently we are using

  the bytecode enhancer from the JDO Reference Implementation.

  We are not allowed to ship the jdori.jar from SUN's reference
implementation.

  If you play around with our JDO sample, just download jdori.jar from =
SUN

  and add it to the ojb-0-9/lib directory!

- complete redesign of the repository grammar. To help users to migrate
their

  existing repository.xml files we provide a XSLT stylesheet

  (see ojb-0-9/src/test/test/ojb/0.8to0.9.xsl)

- performance test-suite for the ODMG implementation

- Full JTA and JCA integration!

- PersistenceBroker interface now extends the org.odbms.ObjectContainer
interface

  to provide a better integration for the S.O.D.A query API.





bug fixes:

- tons of bug fixes



Refactorings:

- performance enhancements

- redesign of SqlGenerator

- redesign of the build process, now using Torque and Maven

- redesign of Repository parser

- ConversionStrategies have been moved from the class-level to the
field-level.=20





With this release we are feature complete for the 1.0 release!

For 1.0 you should not expect more features to be added.

In OJB 1.0 we will have more bug fixes, better documentation and we =
will add
the=20

prefix "org.apache" to all ojb packages to reflect our new home at =
Jakarta.



Important note:

We did not yet change the documentation to reflect the changes to the
repository.dtd.

We will try to correct it asap.


cheers,
