XAware 5.2 is GA!

XAware 5.2 GA
Released December 12, 2008 - SVN build 5.2.0.290

XAware Designer has been upgraded to work as a plug-in into Eclipse 3.4.1. The Designer plug-in is now delivered with the following features:

* A new way to create data services, called "data-first design" has been introduced, using the Eclipse Data Source Explorer (DSE) as the starting point. This flow is most useful for users that don't have a specific XML format they are trying to conform to, but just want to expose data as XML.

* The Data Source Explorer supports building BizDocuments from connection profiles and BizComponents from connection profiles or individual database tables.

* Existing XAware BizDrivers are imported into the DSE, letting you connect to and view database catalogs and tables.
To make the learning process go quickly, we've implemented a new service view wizard – available at startup – to make it easy to build and test a simple service using your own database or one of ours.

* A new Outline view has been added to show predicted results for components, making it easier to predict the data to be returned without having to run the BizView. See a quick video of this feature here. http://www.xaware.org/outline-view.html

* The tree view (in the Design tab) now supports search functions, which is especially useful in long documents.

* Users can limit the number of records returned from a request at run-time in Designer. See a quick video tip here. http://www.xaware.org/limit-returned-records.html

* Results for HTTP put and delete actions now appear in the Test tab of the Package Assembly Tool.

* Designer now starts with 1GB memory.

* The supporting help system now includes an index, a feedback option, and improved look and feel along with updated supporting content for all new features.
