PriDE / News: Recent posts

There are actually not too much changes, but we added support for enums which also means end-of-life for JDK 1.4 support. The Eclipse plugin will be added soon but the plugin from older versions is still fully functional.

Just a few little improvements to the world's smallest Java O/R mapping toolkit.

This release just provides a few nice little improvements. Following the common trend, the build management has been changed from make to Ant, although the PriDE team declares to hate XML as a programming or script syntax ;-)

This release provides support for retrieval of auto-generated insertion fields and a few additional minor improvements. The toolkit is now made available under the LGPL licence.

This version includes an Ant task for using PriDE's entity generator in Ant build scripts and a tiny but important bugfix for multi-threading applications.

This is a minor maintenance release providing a missing update of the PriDE Eclipse plugin and some improvements for joins. Consult the documentation how to use the extended join support.

PriDE's design principles and its approach for lightweight O/R mapping will be presented at the W-JAX 2004. Have a look at session E12 (http://www.wjax.de/konferenzen/psecom,id,205,nodeid,.html#E12) or the W-JAX Homepage http://www.wjax.de.

A nasty debugging relict has been removed, causing queries to become up to 50% faster. Hey folks: thousands of downloads and nobody has ever discovered that thing before?? Well, the performance seems to be quite good, isn't it? ;-)

ResultSet data extraction was flexibelized. By default, data access is now performed by-name and is repeated by-index in case of an error.

Thanks Andre Costa for improvements of the entity generator.

This is a tiny hot fix to add support for database-managed columns which must not be provided on record creation (usually auto-sequence columns). Check out new function ObjectAdapter.getAutoFields() for details!

CUBA is a small OpenSource framework for the development of components which can be run as EJBs, AXIS WebServices, or in a stand-alone application. PriDE can be integrated as a persistence manager in CUBA. See the database examples on the CUBA website at http://cuba.sourceforge.net/CUBA-DatabaseAccess.html

I little maintenance release, fixing some minor bugs in the entity generator and the Eclipse plugin reported in the last few weeks. Nothing spectacular :-)

This update is mainly focussed on some new and helpful features of PriDE's entity generator and the corresponding Eclipse plugin. See the history for details.

Beside some improvements, PriDE includes a plugin for Eclipse 2.x now for convenient generation of entity types from within the IDE.

Recent application projects proved PriDE being suitable for Postgres too. Other supported databases are DB2, Oracle, Cloudscape, HSQL, and MySQL.

This release includes the new quickstart tutorial and two bugfixes for some nasty problems with derived record descriptors.
