Pax Wicket - 0.6.0

Pax Wicket - 0.6.0

Jun 09, 2011

Release 0.6.0 (2011-06-08)

Overview

This release is the first release since almost three years again. While the base structure of pax-wicket is still the same it contains updates to the latest software components (including Wicket 1.4.17). 

  • It is possible to register Filter now as OSGi Services similar as formerly in the web.xml (a priority property defines the order).
  • Almost everything which is done formerly in code could be done now by using spring-dm. This reduces the complexity of the code drastically since most factories could be abstracted quite simple by spring. (The sample application is now available as spring and "regular" version).
  • PaxWicketBean annotation allows injection of beans via the Spring-Application Context.
  • Stabilized classloader/serialization.
  • Added Karaf Feature files for service and samples.
  • Added PaxWicketMountPoint annotation to automatically mount pages at specific places.
  • Added pax-wicket-test project containing classes to create unit-tests for classes using the PaxWicketBean annotation and wicket-tester.
  • Introduced easy testability by using "mvn clean install", "cd samples", "mvn pax:provision" to start pax-wicket including the examples

Besides the changes visible for users the code had gotten drastically changes

  • Increase jdoc at various places
  • Remove tons of warnings
  • Changed to Java Coding Standard
  • Adapted license on all files
  • Cleanup code and file structure

All artifacts are distributed and available via the maven central repository
