[ANN] Apache Isis version 1.7.0 Released

The Isis team is pleased to announce the release of:
* Apache Isis Core version 1.7.0
* Wicket Viewer 1.7.0
* SimpleApp Archetype 1.7.0
* ToDoApp Archetype 1.7.0

New features in this release include:
- ISIS-809: @ViewModel annotation, no longer requiring explicit implementation of the IViewModel interface.
- ISIS-916: ability to override framework-provided services, such as MementoService or BookmarkService.
- ISIS-917: (beta): pluggable representations for the RO viewer

There are also some security fixes:
- ISIS-883: Bookmarkable action URLs can be submitted by a user without permissions to bring up action dialog (thereafter that user can invoke).
- ISIS-884: ErrorPage vulnerable to XSS attacks.
- ISIS-895: HomePage should honour authorization rules.

Full release notes are available at [1,2,3,4] on the Isis website.  

Isis modules that in 1.6.0 were released as part of Isis core have now moved to Isis addons [5]. Meanwhile the profilestore component (previously in core, but unused in the Wicket viewer) has been retired.  Migration should be straightforward, see [6].

Significant updates in Isis add-ons:
- isis-module-security module [7], for administering authentication and authorization
- all modules re-released against for 1.7.0.

You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo [8], 
or download the release and build it from source [9].

Enjoy!

Restful Objects

Now that we have our first release of Apache Isis out of the door, I've been spending some time on Restful Objects, which forms the basis of the JSON viewer within Isis.

The idea of Restful Objects is to provide a standard, generic RESTful interface for domain object models, exposing representations of their structure using JSON and enabling interactions with domain object instances using HTTP GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

The Restful Objects website is a place where the specification will be documented as it evolves, and if you take a look through the spec as it stands you may realize that it's very much based on the idea of a domain model as envisaged by naked objects.   That is:

  • the start page provides links to the set of registered services/repositories
  • from these services, references to domain object instances can be obtained
  • each domain object has properties, collections and actions
  • the usual business rules (hiding, disabling and validating) are supported
  • actions (idempotent or non-idempotent) can be invoked

More generally, you'll see that all the representations are fully self-describing, opening up the possibility of generic viewers to be implemented if required, eg in languages such as HTML5/Ajax, Flex, Silverlight etc etc.

Alternatively, the representations can be consumed directly by a bespoke application.

One of the nice things about this specification is that it is completely language-independent.  As you might expect, I'll be implementing this specification through the Isis JSON viewer, and using that implementation to refine the spec.  In addition Richard Pawson is hoping to commit to working on a similar implementation for Naked Objects MVC (he's a co-author on the Restful Objects site).

And, if you know of or are the author of another naked objects-style framework, eg written in Ruby or Python, and the idea of Restful Objects interests you, then I'd love to hear from you.
