Moqui Framework Changelog

What's new in Moqui Framework 1.6.1

Oct 26, 2016

Build Changes:
Gradle tasks to help handle runtime directory in a separate repository from Moqui Framework
Added component management features as Gradle tasks
Components available configured in addons.xml
Repositories components come from configured in addons.xml Get component from current or release archive (getCurrent, getRelease)
Get component from git repositories (getGit) When getting a component, automatically gets all components it depends on (must be configured in addons.xml so it knows where to get them)
Do a git pull for moqui, runtime, and all components
Most JAR files removed, framework build now uses Bintray JCenter
JAR files are downloaded as needed on build
For convenience in IDEs to copy JAR files to the framework/dependencies directory use: gradle framework:copyDependencies; note that this is not necessary in IntelliJ IDEA (will import dependencies when creating a new project based on the gradle files, use the refresh button in the Gradle tool window to update after updating moqui)
If your component builds source or runs Spock tests changes will be needed, see the runtime/base-component/example/build.gradle file
New Features:
The makeCondition(Map) methods now support _comp entry for comparison operator, _join entry for join operator, and _list entry for a list of conditions that will be combined with other fields/values in the Map
In FieldValueCondition if the value is a collection and operator is EQUALS set to IN, or if NOT_EQUAL then NOT_IN
Bug Fixes:
Fixed issue with EntityFindBase.condition() where condition break down set ignore case to true
Fixed issue with from/thru date where conversion from String was ignored
Fixed MySQL date-time type for milliseconds; improved example conf for XA
If there are errors in screen actions the error message is displayed instead of rendering the widgets (usually just resulting in more errors)

other misc updates
Added Travis CI configuration for continuous integration testing, now setup for the moqui/moqui project with a badge reporting status
Changed form-list macros to use HTML table elements instead of div with table styles
Various localization improvements
ArtifactHit and ArtifactHitBin timing fields are now number-decimal instead of number-integer to record sub-millisecond timing; internal changes for more precise timing, also calc of standard deviation, etc; existing databases may need column type changes
Added link.@entity-name and related attributes for convenience as an alternative to display-entity or link with row-actions lookup
Added link.@tooltip attribute for tooltips on any link
The Auto Screens in the Tools app now have a link to get screen/form XML for the various forms (find, CrUD) for the current entity; handy as a starting point when creating a bunch of new screens for various entities
Entity Data Loader class, command line, and DataImport screen now support a list of component names to load data from when loading by data type
The entity.@create-only attribute now only checked if fields are changed
If service-call.@ignore-error=true now logs and clears error messages
Added support for a 'default' locale value for LocalizedMessage and LocalizedEntityField as a fallback if no locale or base locale record is found; used to better support placeholder message keys meant to always be localized
Added @text-map attribute to link, label, and display for expanded fields in the @text attribute
Added shortened names for various methods in ResourceFacade (template, script, expression, condition, expand) and localize in L10nFacade
Added link.@encode attribute like that on other elements, encodes link text by default (avoid HTML injection based attacks)
Added image.@condition, @style, and @parameter-map attributes and parameter sub-element like those on label, etc
Added screen history drop-down to navbar, WebFacade code to keep history
Screen menu names are now expanded (put data prep in pre-actions)
Added screen.@menu-image and @menu-image-type attributes; when rendering a screen gets the last menu-image in the screen render path (available from ScreenUrlInfo)
Bug Fixes:
Fixed issues with adding missing columns to database
Fixed issues where EntityValue objects from cache were mutable
Fixed issue where requests to different hostnames for the same server resulted in redirecting to the first hostname used in a request
The Gradle loadSave and reloadSave tasks now handle H2 files as well
The EXAMPLE1 tenant is now setup for H2 instead of Derby, fixing issues with testing of tenant and related functionality
Fixed issue with form field options in certain cases where an EntityValue was pushed onto the context (which should never be done)
Fixed issue when a drop-down with dynamic-options depends on a field with a display or display-entity widget as the hidden input did not have the @id attribute needed to get the field's value
Fixed issue when alias-all is used with a member-entity that is a view-entity where all expanded aliases would be ignored in the outer view
Fixed issue where member-entities of a view-entity used as a member-entity and the fields of that view member-entity were aliased with an alias-all with a @prefix or other name not matching the field were trimmed because no matching field was in the fields to select
XML Actions ${iterate.@entry}_hasNext is now _has_next to be more consistent with section-iterate and others using this FTL inspired name
Fixed issue with select column names when doing a distinct query with upper cased order by fields, now adds function to select clause as well as order by clause (GitHub issue #146)

New in Moqui Framework 1.5.2 (May 4, 2015)

New Features:
Added H2 1.4.187, configuration for H2 Database
set as default embedded database instead of Derby
in default setup can be accessed remotely on port 9092 using a URI like jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/MoquiDEFAULT
H2 console available by default (see web.xml) at /h2
Updated Atomikos to 4.0.0M4, Bitronix to 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT (built from source in GitHub repo), FreeMarker to 2.3.22, Groovy to 2.4.3
Updated OrientDB to 2.0.8, tested and fixed a few issues
Updated Apache Commons Codec to 1.9, Apache Commons Logging to 1.2, Apache HttpClient and HttpCore to 4.4.1, JNA to 4.1.0
Significant performance improvements based on profiling
a big part of this is using the Groovy @CompileStatic annotation for strict typing and direct method calls for improved performance in many frequently called parts of the framework
other approaches used in various places include better caching and local tracking of frequently used data and integer for loop iteration instead of using Iterator (or for in, for :)
overall the overhead of advanced features of the framework such as artifact authorization and hit counting are significantly reduced
entity, service, and screen operations are dramatically faster
observed common entity and service operations 3-8x faster, and screen rendering around 3x faster; with these updates some performance improvement is always possible but this gets pretty close to the limit
this effort involves over 3000 lines of code changes, nearly 10% of the roughly 35k lines of Java & Groovy code in the framework implementation
ScreenUrlInfo has been cleaned up with single use parts split into the UrlInstance class; these are currently internal implementation classes so this isn't an API change, but this is a non-backward compatible change and some code using the ScreenRenderImpl and ScreenUrlInfo may need to be updated similar to the changes in DefaultScreenMacros.html.ftl
Added section.@condition attribute that does the same thing as section.condition.expression but more concise
CUPS print server integration and print job management services and admin screens in the System app; can render XSL-FO screens to PDF/etc and print, print ResourceFacade resources, and direct print other documents
Various improvements to concurrency and load handling
Production mode artifact cache warming now does more so that initial page loads are much faster, and heavy loads from start are handled better
Bug Fixes:
Fixed issue with XML Form display-entity where an EntityValue was pushed onto the context (bad in the first place, changed to push Map clone of EV) and if there was an error in the string expand it stayed
No longer create auto reverse relationships for relationships going to the same entity, results in multiple relationships with the same name and the reverse one can get picked up and isn't the one desired
Fixed issues with loading KIE modules and JAR files from components on Windows caused by issue in BaseResourceReference URI handling
Fixed issue with startup-add-missing=true and runtime-add-missing=false where entities in a group without an explicit datasource would never have their tables created
Fixed issues with OrientDB wrapper objects related to EntityFacade changes since 1.5.0

New in Moqui Framework 1.5.1 (Mar 30, 2015)

A minor new feature and bug fix release.
New features in this release include various enhancements to DataDocument
functionality and the introduction of the search#CountBySource to be used
for analytics and reporting using ElasticSearch as the data store. Note
that as part of these changes the fields of the primary entity of a
DataDocument are in the root map/object of the document instead of in a
map/object names for the primary entity.
There is also new functionality for handling JSON documents in more places
including load/import and write/export of entity data and a generic entity
REST interface following various RESTful best practices. See the rest.xml
screen file for more details (comments there with examples, etc).
New Features:
Updated Elasticsearch to 1.5.0, Apache Lucene to 4.10.4
More consistent handling of empty in service, entity, and screen when we don't want the Groovy definition of empty (ie don't consider 0 numbers or false boolean to be empty)
Support for CharSequence in various places (context, entity, service, screen, etc) to handle not just String but also GString when it doesn't get converted and StringBuffer, StringBuilder, etc where convenient
Improved HTTP response code handling, now uses 401 only for authc/login failures, 403 (forbidden) for artifact authz failures, and 429 (too many requests) for tarpit failures
Entity auto services (create, update, and store) now support related records in Maps and Lists in the Map passed to the service call, following the same pattern used for incoming JSON documents (the same code is used for both)
Entity Facade
More consistent handling of is-null; support is-not-null, not-between
Document mappings (type definitions, etc) are now put automatically when a DataDocument indexed with ElasticSearch is first used (by index or search) with types for numbers, dates, etc needed for analytics and also not_analyzed set for all id* type entity fields
In DataDocument the fields on the primary entity are no longer in a Map/object but rather are in the root of the document, simpler and more consistent with the structure used elsewhere
Added EntityServices.search#CountBySource service to do analytics searches using ElasticSearch; there is a real-world example of the use of this service in Mantle for current and projected inventory data
Added @short-alias attribute for entity and relationship, can be used for any entity or relationship reference, but mainly meant for use in entity REST request URLs and other entity path operations
Implemented automatic entity REST interface that supports GET/find, POST/create, PUT/store, PATCH/update, and DELETE/delete operations; supports a variety of bulk operations and flexible find options including pagination and the various features of EntityFind.searchFormInputs() that are used for find forms in XML Screens; this is a RESTful API that follows various best practices and security is handled through artifact authorization and tarpits at the entity level; for examples see the comments in rest.xml
Improved relationship info (EntityDefinition.getRelationshipsInfo()) and dependent entity handling
Added EntityDetail screen in the Tools app with info about entity and related entities
EntityDataLoader and EntityDataWriter, along with the DataImport and DataExport screens in the Tools app, now support JSON files including embedded related (or other entity) records like the REST interface
EntityDataLoader for XML files also supports nested records; with the PK field inheritance from parent records this can significantly reduce redundancy in data load files and make them easier to read/maintain
EntityDataWriter for XML files now exports nested elements for dependent records using a similar pattern to that used for JSON out
Bug Fixes:
Fixed issue with link.@dynamic-load-id attribute loading the result of the load() function instead of doing nothing but calling the load method; this caused issues in browsers like FireFox that render the result of a a.@href javascript: expression
Fixed issue with sparse screen paths (starting with a '//') where a high-level screen like the echopath screen with @allow-extra-path=true would be used instead of a more complete, and correct, match; sparse paths no longer allow extra path elements, which is desirable for intended use of sparse paths to specify target screens, transitions, and sub-screen resources; extra path elements generally come in request URLs where sparse paths are not allowed anyway
Fixed issue where adding ".xml" to a request URL for a screen would treat the screen XML file as a sub-screen resource and return the contents; now treats screen XMl files as if they don't exist, ie results in a 404 error
Fixed issue with EntityFind where if a ListCondition with an OR operator was passed before passing other conditions then the top-level conditions would be OR'ed together instead of AND'ed
Fixed issues with Date (without time, ie java.sql.Date) parsing and formatting due to weirdness with time zone and truncating the time part of the Date representation in long millis since epoch; see comments in L10nFacadeImpl.groovy for more details
Fixed issue with canonicalized (for security, decoding) parameters including JSON documents passed in the body where lists containing anything other than strings (CharSequence actually) were emptied; most lists in parameters only contain strings so this hasn't come up before, but for more complex JSON documents it is an issue
Fixed issues with determining dependent entities, now more consistent by looking for reverse relationships with appropriate criteria
Fixed a few issues with the Tools auto screens and entity edit screens related to relationships

New in Moqui Framework 1.5.0 (Mar 9, 2015)

New Features:
Updated Apache Camel to 2.14.1, Apache CSV to 1.1, Apache Derby to 10.11.1.1, Apache FOP to 1.1 (now includes Batik 1.7), Apache Lucene to 4.10.3, Apache Shiro to 1.2.3, Ehcache to 2.9.0, ElasticSearch to 1.4.4, Freemarker to 2.3.21, Groovy to 2.4.1 (indy), Liquibase to 3.3.2, OrientDB to 1.7.9, Winstone to 1.7.0
Updated Metis Admin Template to version 2.2.7, thanks to contribution from Osman Nuri Okumuş (onokumus), the author of Metis; this updates jQuery to 2.1.1, jQuery UI to 1.11.0, Bootstrap to 3.2.0, and various other updates
More profiling (with JProfiler) and performance improvements, especially in the Entity and Screen Facades
Added elFinder connector for the Moqui ResourceFacade
Added Tools screen to browse ResourceFacade resources using elFinder
Can now schedule services with a cron string in Tools Run Service screen
Added cache warming on start (disabled in dev conf)
Various improvements to Tools screens for layout and pagination
Added convert#Uom service
Added clone#DataDocument service
Added WebFacade.sendResourceResponse() method to stream content from any Resource Facade location
Artifact Authz now gets parameters from entity and service operations and if new ArtifactGroupMember.filterMap field is populated checks each filter entry to see if it matches corresponding parameter entry, otherwise authz rule does not apply
Added System-System Message functionality with persisted outgoing and incoming messages and services to manage queueing, sending, receiving, and consuming
Added UI for administration of System-System Messages
Added UI for Security administration (users, user groups, and artifact groups with preferences, permissions, authz, tarpits)
Added UI for EntitySync administration
Added sync service call transaction options (ignore and cache) to match those available through the service definition
Made XML Actions service-call.@transaction options match those in the service definition, added code generation for all options
Added ServiceFacade.callJsonRpc() method to more conveniently call remote JSON-RPC services
XML Screen:
Added tree element for XML Screen that renders a lazy-loaded tree with links using jstree (currently version 3.0.3); see the wiki.xml screen in HiveMind for an example of its use
Added section-include element to include a section from another screen
Various XML Screen elements have more consistent id behavior with string expansion and adding the listEntryIndex suffix, which is now also set in section-iterate (in addition to form-list as before)
Added container-box to XML Screen with header, toolbar, and body
Improved container element in XML Screen with better id handling and a type which (in HTML) translates to the tag used.
Added @style attributes to link and label in XML Screen
In a form-list with no @list-entry attribute creates a ${@list}_entry field along with the _index and _has_next fields for convenience in getting at the object in the List (which implements the Map interface, often an EntityValue and nice to get at it directly)
Added form-single.field-layout.field-row-big element to do what field-row used to do with more than 2 field-ref elements, putting all fields in a single column
Put CSS references back in theme instead of direct in webroot.xml
Added support for header logo, header title, body class, and footer items in theme to make applications easier to brand through theme data
Added theme support for header navbar items with FTL snippets coming from the database theme records, example in the Mantle MyAccount app to show count of unread incoming messages and link to view them
Added dark/light pseudo-theme switcher, switches body classes from Bootstrap on the fly and saves user preference (default comes from theme)
Links are now disabled when going to a screen the user is not authorized for along with failed transition condition
Screen paths can now start with a // and be a sparse path where each name in the path is searched for in the subscreen hierarchy from the root screen; can also find content this way; note that this may involve loading a lot of screen definitions and in dev mode will be slower, but in production (cache timeouts turned off) the full expanded path is cached as are the screen definitions so there is very little overhead
To help with XML Screen loading overhead, especially in dev mode with timeouts turned on, now only reloads if the file's last modified time has changed
Added date-period form field widget to show drop-downs for this/next/last day/week/month/year as an alternative to an explicit date range
Added link.@dynamic-load-id attribute to load a link into a dynamic-container using its ID
Added 'screen' option for link.@url-type to refer directly to a screen without going through a transition (technically transition can do this too, but looks funny); made @url-type an expanded string
Added support for screen.parameter.@required attribute, show error message instead of rendering screen if a parameter is not passed
XML Form text-line auto-complete now passes through parameters defined on the screen and transition
Added XML Form text-line.ac-show-value attribute which defaults to true and if set to false doesn't use the span by the input box to show what was selected
DbForm forms can now be used independently rather than just modifying existing XML Screen forms by using 'moqui.screen.form.DbForm' or 'DbForm' as the location, before the hash (#), in the @extends attribute
Added FormResponse/Answer entities to save form responses from any form based on form field names; can be used with DbFrom to have flexible database driven survey forms
Autocomplete fields (with text-line.@ac-transition) now hide the ID/value and put the label in the input box; they also do a server call with the initial value to get a label for it if there is no @ac-initial-text attribute
Added container-row and row-col elements for 12 column responsive layouts currently implemented with the Bootstrap 12 col styles
Added transition-include element to reuse transition definitions
Added @condition attribute to link and label elements
Added support _openDialog parameter or context field to specify a dialog (container-dialog or dynamic-dialog) to show on load
Entity Facade:
Added in operator (_op) for searchFormInputs/search-form-inputs
Added entity.field.@default attribute with a Groovy expression to set a default for a field based on other fields, constants, etc
Added DataDocumentCondition.operator field, uses same operator values as XML Actions econdition.@operator
Added update option to field.enable-audit-log to create audit records for updates only, not creates
Added entity.@sequence-primary-prefix attribute for a per-entity prefix that can be and expanded string expression using field values, etc
Removed EECA triggers for find operations; these are not generally useful and add overhead to the typically significant number of find operations, including cached ones
Initial implementation of EntitySync feature with example in the example component; should be considered beta but has gone through various tests in non-production environments
Added entity.@enable-audit-log attribute which is used as the default for all fields of the entity
Added EntityAuditLog.artifactStack field with the artifact stack used to do the audited update
Entity ECA rules that run after an update and have get-original-value=true now really get the originalValue from before the update even though they run after.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed security issue where current password was stored in UserPasswordHistory with 2-way encryption. Now only previous passwords are stored in UserPasswordHistory on password change, and they are stored in the hashed (one-way encrypted) form along with the salt and hash type.
Fixed delete buttons not working on the Find Auto Screen
Fixed links with images (link.image element) FTL error
Required service parameters used to use the Groovy definition of empty but this is annoying for numbers and such (a zero is generally a valid non-empty service parameter), so now uses null for any object or zero length String as the definition of empty for required parameters
Fixed issues with complex-alias where aliased entities were not add to list of aliased entities used and alias level function was not added
Fixed tx cache issue where a value could be updated after putting it into the cache causing an attempt to read the original to get an updated value
Changed ResourceReference.init() to use ExecutionContextFactory instead of ExecutionContext for cases where the object is long-lived
Fixed search#DataDocuments issues with documentType parameter, adding it to the count query (was getting wrong counts because it was left out), set to null if an empty String as ElasticSearch treats that as a real one
Fixed issue with a distinct query where order by fields are not selected, Entity Facade now automatically selects order by fields for distinct queries
Fixed issue with merging row-actions in list forms, was cloning row-actions node instead of the actions nodes under it
Fixed issue with form-list-column nodes not getting removed when merging
Fixed issue with deepCopyNode copying attributes, the original Node's attribute Map was used instead of being copied allowing attributes to be modified in the copy of the Node
Fixed thread deadlock issue in dev mode (with ArtifactHit entity logging enabled) caused by refreshing DataFeed and DataDocument settings in a scheduled job and page request happening around the same time
Fixed thread contention issue checking ArtifactHit near startup
Fixed issue with EntityValue.checkFks using find instead of findAll to get type one relationships
Fixed issue with lastUpdatedStamp not getting set on updates
Fixed fairly recent issue with service auth* parameters being ignored in service calls, especially remote service calls
EntityFind.count() now selects all fields by default to match what list() and iterator() do, and to not mess things up when calling count() before calling iterator()
In XML Forms the display and display-entity field types no longer default to the value from the @text attribute, if there is no direct entry value the hidden field should be empty
Fixed issue with Quartz service calls and job data associated with the trigger, now gets data map from job and trigger
Fixed issue with the Content-Type HTTP header in JSON requests when it has one or more parameters.

New in Moqui Framework 1.4.1 (Sep 18, 2014)

New Features:
Updated Apache Jackrabbit to 2.8.0, Apache Lucene to 4.8.1, ElasticSearch to 1.2.1
Added UserGroupPreference, like UserPreference but for user groups. UserFacade.getPreference() now looks for group preference when no user preference is found.
Changed Service ECA rules with @when of tx-commit or tx-rollback to attach to the transaction after the service is run so that results of the service run are available.
Changed datasource configuration so that if datasources other than the one for the default-group-name (transactional) are not specified then the default-group-name one is used. There is a similar change for the TenantDataSource so that only the one for the default-group-name (transactional) is required for each tenant.
Changed the Derby database default configuration to use a single MoquiDEFAULT database instead of separate transactional, analytical, nosql, and tenantcommon databases. Also changed the EXAMPLE1 tenant to use the tenantId as the database name, setting a pattern for other tenants.
Added basic tenant provisioning services and various multi-tenant improvements and fixes to improve multi-tenant capabilities.
Changed the way database time zone and locale work so they are the same for all users, either configured (@database-time-zone and @database-locale attributes on the moqui-conf.entity-facade element) or the Java system defaults. This is instead of using the user's time zone and locale because that is inconsistent and may get undesired values back, ie getting a different Timestamp object back because of a different user time zone.
Added screen.@tenants-allowed attribute to restrict which tenant(s) a screen may be used in. The tools application is now restricted to the DEFAULT tenant using this attribute in Tools.xml.
Changed Data Document _index field to be tenantId + "__" + DataDocument.indexName instead of just DataDocument.indexName to use a separate set of indexes for each tenant.
Scheduled service jobs (including async) are now authorized before the job is scheduled, and when the username/userId is passed through does a no password authc for that user and turns off authz for the service call; this is a mechanism for handling service calls outside the main flow and still maintaining security.
Changed the ArtifactHit/Bin artifactName for screen, screen-content, and transition to use their internal Resource Facade location (like component://...) instead of external URL
Bug Fixes:
Changed commit() to rollback if commit fails to cleanup the transaction, can happen for example with TransactionCache has a DB error during pre-commit.
ArtifactHit count now skipped for UserAccount to avoid infinite recursion (shows as a StackOverflow exception).
EntityValue.containsKey() now returns true if there is a value for the key (even null), not just if it is a valid field name; this was inconvenient for various things, especially when treating EntityValue like a Map.
Fixed issue where Service ECA rules with @when of tx-commit or tx-rollback were never run.
Fixed issue with primary sequenced ID where cached current bank was shared among tenants even though DB values were separate, now cached current bank is also separate.
Fixed GitHub issue #26 where the Calendar used for setting Date/etc values was not valid because the cached Calendar object in UserFacadeImpl was set in a query before getting the UserAccount, and not reset by getUserAccount() (ie calling clearPerUserValues()).
Changed Quartz jobs (async and scheduled service calls) to run in the tenant they were initiated in instead of always in the DEFAULT tenant
Fixed issue with setBlob and the Postgres JDBC driver (GitHub issue #28), similar to pull request #29.
Fixed issue where SubscreensItem records with a userGroupId were filtered for the user active when the screen is first loaded as opposed to the user active each time the screen is rendered.
Fixed issue where TransactionCache was ignored for entities with no table in the database, for OrientDB datasource, and in general for the EntityListIteratorWrapper object.

New in Moqui Framework 1.4.0 (Mar 27, 2014)

New Features:
Added the Metis Admin Template version 2.1.3
This includes an update to jQuery 2.0.3, Bootstrap 3.0.3, jQuery UI 1.10.3, and many other JS libraries.
Added Bitronix BTM 2.1.4 as alternative to Atomikos
Added JBoss KIE and Drools libraries (version 6.0.0.Final) and Moqui API additions for getting a KieContext, plus Moqui automatically loads and builds component kie directories when present
Added Markdown4J 2.2
Added Apache Commons CSV 1.0-SNAPSHOT 20140122
Updated Apache HttpCore to 4.3.1, HttpClient to 4.3.2, Commons Logging to 1.1.3, Commons Codec to 1.6
Updated Apache Lucene to 4.6.1, ehcache to 2.8.1, ElasticSearch to 1.0.1, Groovy to 2.2.2
Updated Winstone to 1.0.5 (note this is very different from 0.9.10)
Added ISO 8601 date/time parsing as another default in L10nFacade
Added transition.@read-only attribute to skip XSRF check for insecure parameters when the transition does not modify data, and when data is not too sensitive
Added transition.parameter sub-elements to declare additional parameters for a transition, just like and in addition to the screen parameters
Added Markdown wiki support for files with extensions .md and .markdown using Markdown4J, and .md.ftl or .markdown.ftl for FTL + Markdown
Added clean#ArtifactData service to remove ArtifactHit/Bin records older than a certain number of days (default 60), and a XML configured Quartz job with a trigger to run it every day at 2AM
Bug Fixes:
Due to some quirks in Shiro ehcache support it is disabled by default; it is still supported for use in distributed environments with shared auth cache (see shiro.ini for details)
Fixed issue with entity-condition in a view-entity when the econdition value matched a localized string different from the original value
Fixed issue with form-single and form-list.@transition when it matches a localized string (especially on MySQL or other DBs with case insensitive string matching), now only expands transition value if it contains a "${"
Fixed not-like entity condition operator which was treated as like
Fixed bug in EntityFind.searchFormInputs using ec.web.parameters instead of context; parameters are added to the context and other things may be too before this is called, so best to just use the context
Changed data stored on login to be done in separate transactions so that the records aren't locked for the full surrounding tx preventing the same user from auth for other transactions
Fixed issue with runtime/db directory not being included in gradle addRuntime and ant add-runtime, caused Derby to do funny things and OrientDB to not run at all under Tomcat and other external containers
Fixed issue with Logger initializing before moqui.runtime is set when running under external servlet containers like Tomcat
Fixed issue with DbResourceReference.putStream which tried to pass an InputStream to the JDBC driver, which isn't likely to be handled; now reads from the stream to a byte[] and wraps in a SerialBlob
Fixed issue when startup-add-missing is true but runtime-add-missing is false it would not really check and add missing on startup
Improvements to DB meta data handling for databases like Postgres that default to lower-case table, column, and foreign names
Fixed issue with sri.getFieldValuePlainString() calling toString on BigDecimal objects as BigDecimal.toString() uses scientific notation by default and aside from being annoying the parser doesn't handle it and treats things like 100 represented as 1E2 as 1
Fixed issue with iterate over a Map when key attribute is set where the key and value were switched in the specified field names
Links (including URL parameter and hidden form) now handle Timestamp and BigDecimal the same as hidden form fields. This resolves issues with time zones for Timestamps, and with number parsing for BigDecimals.
Fixed issues with transition path-parameter when screen has no actions where transition was not removed from the path name list and path, screen, and transition parameters were not expanded for response parameters
Fixed issue in sendEmailTemplate.groovy where webappName was passed into the screen render for the HTML for the email, but not the plain text
Fixed issues related to entity-find.@cache attribute used inconsistently in generated code, and more generally with filtering and pagination when using both entity-find.@cache=true and entity-find.search-form-inputs, especially along with entity-find.date-filter.

New in Moqui Framework 1.3.0 (Jul 31, 2013)

New Features:
Updated Gradle build files to work with Gradle 1.6 (may not work with
earlier versions)
Updated Apache Camel to 2.11.1, Apache Commons Validator to 1.4.0,
Apache Derby to 10.10.1.1, ehcache to 2.7.2, Freemarker to 2.3.20,
Groovy to 2.1.6, Quartz Scheduler to 2.1.7
Added ElasticSearch 0.90.2 and Lucene 4.3.1 ElasticSearch files are under
runtime/elasticsearch and it is initialized and destroyed with the rest
of the framework
With ElasticSearch, Lucene, and full ehcache instead of just core the
size of Moqui Framework has grown from ~24MB to ~42MB
Both ElasticSearch and Camel can be disabled to not init automatically
Introduced StatusFlow, StatusFlowItem and StatusFlowTransition entities
for improved status flow support. A StatusItem may be used in multiple
flows, each flow having its own set of status items and transitions.
Entity Facade
Added EntityDynamicView.addRelationshipMember() method to easily add
member-entity based on relationship definition
Added Entity Data Document feature configured by DataDocument* entities
which produce a sort of view entity (built on the fly with
EntityDynamicView); the actual data documents are nested Maps and Lists
produced by the EntityFacade.getDataDocuments() method
Added Entity Data Feed feature configured by DataFeed* entities; a feed
is associated with one or more DataDocuments that are pushed to a
service or pulled through a method call; the first part implemented is
a real-time push triggered by entity changes for entities that are part
of associated DataDocuments and the document(s) produced and sent to
the feed receive service when a transaction is successfully committed
Added index#DataFeedDocuments service to easily index all documents
associated with a DataFeed within a date range
Added search#DataDocuments service which uses ElasticSearch; supports
pagination and so on
Added Tool app screens for index, search, and export DataDocuments
Improved date/time and number parsing for String values passed to an
entity, partly so that implicit entity-auto services are more usable
Changed to use full entity name (with package) in more places including
the entity cache
XML Screen and Form
Added XML Form fields-not-referenced element to specify where to render
the fields not explicitly referenced under the field-layout element
Small adjustment to transition parameter so that if explicitly defined
as empty that will be used instead of defaulting to value from context
or web parameters
Screen transition response plain URLs now assemble parameters using
response parameter sub-elements
Improved form-list with form-list-column so that hidden fields are
always rendered along with the form element
Added span with id for form-list cell display fields and classes on it
for currency and field value Java classes (BigDecimal, Timestamp, etc)
plus CSS to center numbers and right align currency amounts
Added XML Form field widget element auto-widget-service and
auto-widget-entity to do the same thing as auto-fields-* except that
they are applied to a single field for more granular control without a
bunch of ignores
Added dynamic-dialog element to XML Screens; like the container-dialog
element but loads the dialog contents from the server when opened
Added form-list.@paginate-always-show attribute, defaults to true; set
to false to hide pagination control and row count when there is only
one page of rows to display; SourceForge feature request #8
Added widget-templates file and widget-template-include element under
XML Form fields to include widget-templates for widget reuse
Added form-list.@skip-form element for use with plain tables that will
have nothing to submit; in HTML leaves out form elements
Added dynamic-container element to easily setup a section of the screen
that is loaded separately from the server for easy update
Added background-* attributes to form-single to submit the form in the
background and optionally show a message on success and reload a
dynamic-container by id
In HTML generation script tags spread throughout HTML are now
consolidated into a single script tag at the end of the screen output
Added editable element like a label but when you click on it an edit
box appears to allow editing of the single field (this uses the
jeditable jquery plugin)
Added WebFacade.sendTextResponse() method to send plain text response
Added User NotificationMessage feature to send messages to users through
active listeners or persist them to track receipt and handle delivery
when the user is next available. The message is a JSON String
(representing a Map). Custom listeners can be added as implementations
of the NotificationMessageListener interface. Message pulling is also
supported for things like message screens. Listeners may be created
for delivery means such as WebSocket, email, etc.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed URLs for Mantle UBPL links using active screen URL as the default
base URL instead of the full URL of the current screen
Fixed issue where form-list-column and field-layout nodes in an extended
screen modified the original node from the base screen
Fixed issue in entity-auto create where automatically set fromDate was
not returned in the service result
Fixed issue in screens with a form-list and then a form-single where
listEntryIndex bleeds over and results in a _?? to field IDs and such
Fixed issue with date/time parsing and formatting to more consistently
user user time zone, avoids time discrepancies between input and display
while leaving hidden fields as plain toString/etc
Fixed issue with date and time values going to and from the database when
the current user has a time zone different from the system by passing a
Calendar object with the user's time zone to the PreparedStatement and
ResultSet methods for Date, Time, and Timestamp
Fixed issue with automatic case insensitive order by on non-String
fields; now ignored automatically when not applicable
Fixed issue with hidden fields in form-list header-fields when rendered
in HTML with the default macros where the title appeared even if all
field types were hidden, and if @hide was set to true the hidden input
would not be rendered
Fixed issue in XML Form when a field-row is under a field-group element
where the field-row was ignored and the fields in the group were
displayed twice
Fixed issue when making a condition with an empty Map, List, etc returns
null instead of an invalid condition
Fixed issue with entity find one on a view-entity with no PK fields where
no matter the conditions it was considered a full set of PK field
constraints causing it to throw out the actual find constraints
Fixed issue with form-list formatting when the @multi=true attribute and
form-list-column elements are both used in the same form
Fixed issue where IN and NOT IN did not add parenthesis if the value was
not a Collection; also added splitting of String values used with IN and
NOT IN by comma for convenience in specifying these lists of ID values
Fixed issues where sequenced values with a non-entity seqName threw an
exception and increment by one didn't increment the bank, causing a
duplicate key error from the database on insert
Fixed issue in Auto Screens where automatic links had wrong parameter
name for the entity name (had entityName, now aen)
Fixed issue where if a standalone screen (or with lastStandalone set) has
pre-actions the screens before it were not pushed to get authz setup;
SourceForge Bug #30
Fixed issue with display.@currency-unit-field attribute with numbers
larger than 1000 because it used the BigDecimal String constructor to
parse a String formatted with a comma thousands separator; the
L10nFacade.formatCurrency() method now uses a proper locale-aware number
parser to parse numbers, and the display FTL macro has been updated to
use the field value object directly instead of changing it to a String
and then parsing it back to format as currency; SourceForge Bug #31
Fixed issue with two back-to-back form-list using skip-end on the first
and skip-start on the second; now rows are simply appended as would be
expected instead of multiple form-list-outer/etc elements
Fixed issue where view-entity.entity-condition.date-filter did not work
with an empty @valid-date attribute
Fixed a few issues with EntityDynamicView (failure to get group name,
some better error handling, etc)
Fixed issue with view-entity automatic trimming based on used fields
where a member-entity with no used fields but that is needed to joing to
another member-entity with used fields was not included
Fixed issue with tx-commit and tx-rollback parameter missing in method
call to run service
Fixed bug in MoquiStart where Manifest was sometimes null causing a class
not found exception
