Pax Wicket - 0.7.0

Jul 08, 2011

Release 0.7.0 (2011-07-05)

Overview

This release of PAX Wicket is based off of the current master, representing a big update to Pax Wicket 0.6.0. It contains bug fixes identified in the prior release, and introduces new features including; making the complete spring-functionality introduced with Pax Wicket 0.6.0 also available for blueprint; provide the InjectionHolder pattern from Wicket for Pax Wicket; InjectionListeners could be added via spring and blueprint (or code if preferred); Extensions to the content-source-aggregation-point API; contextParams and filterParams (know from the web.xml) could be used in spring and blueprint; PaxWicketMountPoint annotation could be registered as bundle-scanning service. In addition to those enhancements we've upgraded almost all referenced libraries (eventadmin, karaf, ...) and introduced various enhancements like; definition of destinations and overwrites via spring; change of the injection type via the application, spring/blueprint and the annotation directly; no need for a PageFactory any longer if you do not need to reference it directly.
