[ANN] Apache Isis version 2.0.0-M3 Released

After a *lot* of development effort, the Apache Isis committers are delighted to announce the release of v2.0.0-M3 of the framework.

This is a major milestone release that "re-platforms" Apache Isis so that it now runs on top of Spring Boot 2.x. JDK8 is the minimum. Some highlights:

A new convenience parent pom builds on top of Spring Boot’s similar parent pom, to make it easy to develop new apps, along with simplified "mavendeps" pom’s.
The Maven archetypes have been replaced with Starter Apps in github repos.
Configuration properties have been refactored, and can now be specified (with intellisense hints) using Spring’s application.properties or application.yml

New features:

a new @Property#projecting allows view model summaries to be returned as "projections" of underlying entities.
new layout() method (or UI event) allows a domain object to specify which layout file should be used to render it.
there is no longer any need to specify @ParameterLayout#named()
there is now a security integration with Keycloak

There are also a number of new extensions:

Flyway (integrating with Spring Boot’s support)
pdf.js (for Wicket viewer)
fullcalendar (for Wicket viewer)
excel download (for Wicket viewer)

Other improvements include:

Integration test support, and BDD (Cucumber) "spec" support have been refactored to run on Spring Boot with Junit 5.
New demo app to demonstrate new features.
New smoketest app to catch regressions

Finally, the website has been updated to use Antora.

Full release notes are available on the Apache Isis website at [1].
You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo [2].
Alternatively, download the release and build it from source [3].

Enjoy!

[ANN] New committer - Jörg Rade

Hi folks,

I'm delighted to announce that Jörg Rade has been voted in as a committer for Apache Isis, and also as a member of the Apache Isis PMC. The first gives Jörg the right to commit changes directly to Isis' codebase, the second gives him the right to be involved in future votes.

Jörg has been active in the community for more than five years, and has been actively been developing a new viewer for the framework, called "Kroviz" . This runs against the REST API provided by the Restful Objects viewer, and is implemented in Kotlin (running in the browser as KotlinJS). I'm delighted to say that Jörg will be donating this codebase to the framework and will continue to develop it within our new "incubator".

Jörg is also very visible on our new Slack channel (he's been sharing the status on Kroviz there for quite a while) so if you want to ping him and ask him questions about this new viewer, I'm sure he'd be very willing

I'm looking forward to continue working with Jörg in the future; another great addition to Isis' committers.

Dan Haywood

Apache Isis Committer, PMC

[ANN] Apache Isis simpleapp-archetype 1.13.2.1 Released

This release is for the simpleapp archetype only. It:

improves docker support - allowing docker images to be created easily
reduces the amount of boilerplate (by backing out some of the mixins)
fixes an issue with the fixture scripts

For example, the webapp can be packaged as a Docker image using:

mvn package -Dmavenmixin-docker \

-Ddocker-plugin.imageName=mycompany/myapp

and can then be run using:

docker run -d -p8080:8080 mycompany/myapp

See the README.adoc (generated by the archetype) for further details.

Full release notes are available on the Apache Isis website at [1].

You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo [2], or

download the release and build it from source [3].

Enjoy!

[ANN] Apache Isis version 1.12.0 Released

The Apache Isis team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Isis v1.12.0.

New features in this release include:

much enhanced support for custom layouts, using an optional separate XML layout file Xxx.layout.xml. This is similar in concept to the earlier support we have had for custom layouts through a .layout.json file, but introduces the ability to position object members anywhere using (bootstrap3) columns and rows. It also brings in support for tab groups, and allows object members to be included in the page more than once (eg a table view and also a calendar view).
a change to the editing of objects: rather than an 'edit' button which toggles the entire page into edit mode, instead each property is edited individually.
various new domain services. Some of these are in supoprt of the dynamic layouts functionality, others including new access into Apache Isis' metamodel. In addition, the DomainObjectContainer service has been deprecated, replaced by a number of fine-grained services such as RepositoryService and MessageService.
a number of new mixins, to automatically surface in the UI an entity's id, version (if any) as properties, and actions to download the layout XML and other metadata actions. (These can always be hidden using either security or by writing a subscriber; see the migration notes).
JAXB view models are now automatically editable by default.

Full release notes are available on the Apache Isis website.

You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo, or download the release and build it from source.

Enjoy!

[ANN] Apache Isis version 1.11.0 Released

The Apache Isis team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Isis v1.11.0.

The main focus for this release is on the REST API and on view models using JAXB:

* the Restful Objects viewer now supports simplified representations intended to make it easier to write custom Javascript (and other) clients that consume the REST API; these are obtained using the HTTP Accept header. There is also support for Swagger spec files so that the REST API can be more easily explored and tested. Separately, the x-ro-follow-links capability for RO spec representations is now supported.

* JAXB-annotated classes are now recognised as view models; these also enable the contents collections to be part of the view model’s state (previously only view model properties were recognised). The new UrlEncodingService allows long URLs (for view models) to be converted into shorter URLs; this also allows the URL to optionally be encrypted.

* The release also includes improved control for domain events (these can now be suppressed if required) , and a new category of UI events (so that titles, icons and CSS classes can be provided by event bus subscribers).

Full release notes are available on the Apache Isis website. Please also read the migration notes.

You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo, or download the release and build it from source.

Enjoy!
