Juno 5.1.0.20 is a moderate update.
The biggest improvement is the ability to associate external INI config files with REST servlets using the {@del ConfigFile} functionality.
Core
- Significant API changes to org.apache.juneau.config API.
- {@del ConfigFile} is now thread safe and can be shared across multiple threads.
- New {@del ConfigMgr} class for managing configuration files.
- Serializers and parsers can be associated with config files for storing and retrieving POJOs.
Default support provided for JSON.
- New {@link oaj.html.SimpleHtmlWriter} class.
Can be used for simple HTML DOM construction.
- New {@del oaj.utils.ProcBuilder} class for calling external processes.
- New {@del ObjectMap#remove(Class,String,Object)} method.
- "class='link'" added to links generated by {@link oaj.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.
- New {@del EncoderGroup#append(EncoderGroup)} method.
- New HtmlDocSerializerContext.HTMLDOC_addLinks configuration property.
- Modified the Parser.createContext(ObjectMap,Method,Object) method.
Outer context objects can be passed in to create instances of non-static inner classes.
- Fixed bug in {@link oaj.html.HtmlStrippedDocSerializer} where exception was thrown when trying to serialize primitive arrays.
- {@link oaj.json.JsonParser} now handles parsing JSON boolean/numeric values as strings to bean properties of type boolean or number.
- {@link oaj.urlencoding.UrlEncodingSerializer} and {@link oaj.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser} now
represent arrays and collections as key-value pairs where the keys are numbers (e.g. "?0=foo&1=bar").
- Various internal improvements to {@link oaj.utils.IOPipe}.
- New {@del ReflectionUtils#getResource(Class,String)} method.
- {@link oaj.internal.StringUtils#parseNumber(String,Class)} now returns zero for empty strings.
This affects the way most parsers handle blank values.
Server
- You can now parse into non-static inner classes of a servlet for parameters/attributes/content.
Useful if you like to define your marshaller beans inside your servlet.
- Changes to {@del oajr.RestServlet}:
- New methods for accessing external INI config files:
{@del RestServlet#getConfig()}
{@del RestServlet#createConfigFile()}
- New "$C{...}" variable that resolve to INI config file values.
- New "$UE{...}" variable that URL-encodes the value inside the variable.
- New convenience methods for retrieving classpath resource files:
{@del RestServlet#getResource(String)}
{@del RestServlet#getResourceAsString(String)}
{@del RestServlet#getResource(Class,String,String)}.
Useful if you want to load predefined POJOs from JSON files in your classpath.
- New {@del RestServlet#handleNotFound(int,RestRequest,RestResponse)} method for customized handling
of when a resource or method was not found.
- {@del oajr.BasicRestServlet} now automatically processes "/favicon.ico" requests by
overriding the new {@del RestServlet#handleNotFound(int,RestRequest,RestResponse)} method.
- New {@link oajr.RestRequest} methods:
- {@del RestRequest#resolveVars(String)}
- RestRequest.getVarResource(String)
- {@del RestRequest#getConfig()}
- New {@link oajr.RestResponse} methods:
- {@link oajr.RestResponse#getDirectWriter(String)}.
- {@link oajr.RestResponse#getNegotiatedWriter()}.
getWriter() now returns an unnegotiated writer.
getUnbufferedWriter() has been removed.
- New {@del oajr.annotation.RestMethod#encoders() @RestMethod(encoders)} and
{@del RestMethod#inheritEncoders()} annotations.
Allows encoders to be fine-tuned at the method level.
- New {@del @RestResource(config)} annotation for associating external {@del ConfigFile} config files with servlets.
- {@del ResourceLink}.
- New org.apache.juneau.rest.matcher package for commonly-used {@link oajr.RestMatcher RestMatchers}:
- {@del oajr.matchers#MultipartFormDataMatcher}
- {@del oajr.matchers#UrlEncodedFormMatcher}
Microservice
- New juneau-microservice.jar file that encapsulates all 3 juneau jars with code necessary for creating fast and efficent jetty-powered REST microservices.
Contains the following:
- Jetty 8.0
- Apache HttpClient 4.3.5
- Apache Commons FileUpload 1.3.1
- Microservice now supports Java 6 (previously required Java 7)
