XMLToaster / News: Recent posts

You may now choose the type of logging that you want XMLToaster to use - either standard Java logging or Log4J.

Runtime is now Java 5 and you may now specify a namespace for an XML message that does not have an associated XSD.

Improved error handling, improved MySQL 5.1 support and AjaxToaster integration!

This release of XMLToaster significantly simplifies the syntax of the XMLtoSQL script syntax. These scripts can now be written using an SQL-like syntax rather than using an XML structure (note that the XML format is still supported).

Unsigned integer columns can now be used in the order by clause of the SQLtoXML select statement as part of a “throwNew” clause.

The SQLtoXML class now uses the “getColumnLabel” method to determine the name of a column. This makes it compatible with the MySQL 5.1.x JDBC driver.

This release of XMLToaster enhances the capabilities of the XMLtoSQL class.

The class has been made compatible with DB2 by not putting a semi-colon on the end of the generated SQL.

The class properly supports left outer/inner join syntax.

The class works as expected when the key data in the XML is at the same level of the XML heirachy as non key data.

If data is not present in the XML for a column then blank will not be inserted into the column.

Added new feature to the ExpandString class that allows you to specify default values for parameters that the user does not supply.

Plus fixed minor bug 1823431.

Two minor issues also fixed.
