Plugins

  • Multiple JDBC driver version support in JDBC plugins

LDAP

  • LDAP cartridge is now an asset
  • Password encryption support in LDAP initializer

Resource Handling

  • MIME type and MD5 can now be transported during resource upload

Yaml Marshaller

  • Introduced Marshaller for (un)marshalling yaml files (model based, GM)
  • Support for type inference in absence of polymorphisms. Omits custom type tags such as !com.braintribe.model.company.Employee or using direct scalars like !long, !decimal, !float

Jinni

  • Console encoding is respected
  • Response output and request input (GM assembly) format and encoding: text/xml, application/json, text/yaml, gm/man, gm/bin, gm/jse
  • Using mimetype’s charset option can choose the output encoding (e.g. text/yaml;charset=UTF-16)
  • verbosity propagation to service processors via ServiceRequestContext
  • jinni prints its own options via jinni help

Output Routing

available for:

  • response (GM assembly)
  • log (Java Logging)
  • protocol (humand readable program output)

parameterized by command line arguments to be routed to:

  • file
  • stdout
  • stderr

Colored Output

  • Available for protocol (if supported by output channel)
  • Highlighting of important output information like versions or nature specific parts

Platform Asset Management

  • 'Merge and Transfer' and 'Close and Transfer' operations in setup access default its transfer operation to deploy

Setup Processing

  • Encrypt Request (encrypts (obscures) confidential data that, for example, can be used in human visible configuration)
  • New Nature: ResourcePriming
    • automatically creates a GMML that announces the resources
    • copies resources from resource.zip (asset) part to the resource part of the storage

Error Message Output Improvements

  • Deployables and Resource POST calls error message improvements

Wire

PropertyLookups

= interface definition to make values coming from simple name-value-maps typesafe, mandatory, decrypted via proxy generation. Examples: accessing environment variables, TribefireRuntime or property files

  • Supported types
    • scalar types
      • String
      • Boolean or boolean
      • Integer or int
      • Long or long
      • Double or double
      • Date
      • Duration
      • File
      • Path
      • Class
      • Enum
    • Collection types of scalars
      • List
      • Set
      • Map

Wire Modules

= Module Dependency Management

  • Automatic package name conventions and therefore robust class literal use instead of package strings
  • Dynamic Wire contract space resolving to support convenient use of proxy generated spaces (eg. PropertyLookups) and other dynamic space resolutions.

Collaborative Documentation - Work In Progress

  • introduced a new documentation tool allowing to generate a static website based on the selected assets
  • implemented content reuse and search on the website
  • introduced new MarkdownDocumentation and DocumentationConfiguration natures
  • migrated all content from Jekyll
  • introduced the noDocu=true flag enabled by default to avoid build errors, as this is still work in progress
  • this feature is not finished yet and using it at this stage may produce unexpected results
