In 1.3 we have added many small tweaks under the hood, but the biggest improvement to the eyes of mosy will be the ability to use constructors.
In addition a number of small changes occurred:
- The client has had unmarshallString() extracted out of the handleResponse() method. This enables users to evaluate any json string as if it came from the server. This will be useful in future releases that support comet technology (this is already being used one project using a modified version of jabsorb).
- Maven has been used to grab external files.
- The message format used to send messages has been cleaned up.
- Interfaces and superclasses may be registered as Callable References and then any sub type or implementation of that callable reference may then be used
- Calling "ant run" will fire up the test demo using jetty. Good for jabsorb development to make sure the unit tests are passing! You may also be able to adapt this to test your own applications.
And here are the changes we hope to make to jabsorb in the near future.
