Seam 2.1.0.CR1

[norman]

Seam 2.1.0.CR1 is out.

[Download] [Reference Documentation]  [JIRA] [Release Notes]

You can get the full details from the blog, but I suspect everyone here has a good idea of what is in 2.1 already.  I would like to emphasize the importance of testing it out with your apps.  I think we'd all rather find problems before the release rather than after the release.

Congratulations! Great job, Seam team!!!

I couldn't find any mention in the docs or blog posting/ changelog of what 'Built in support for URL rewriting' entails.

Can it finally handle rewriting of urls that point to custom servlets?  Any additional details would be appreciated as I was just starting to hack on the urlrewrite src to add some additional features.

thanks much, and great job :)

I'm guessing: Resteasy

Something wrong in my system?

Thanks Daniel, looks like resteasy will help solve my custom servlet delema in the future (though, doesn't help with my current codebase).

Thanks Pete for pointing the urlrewrite section of the docs, exciting stuff :) (looks like that section is missing from the doc index page).

To answer the question, the rewriting is intended to be a super-trivial way to write bi-directional rewrite rules for Seam URLs.  There's no way to specify rules for non-Seam URLs.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by custom servlets, but in general mapping to another servlet is hard.  One of the big problems is that although you can easily retarget a request to a different servlet, you can't do so while maintaing the full chain of servlet filters.  I don't know any way to do that within the scope of the Servlet spec, so if that's the problem you are trying to solve with urlrewrite, I'd love to know what your solution is.  If that's not your problem, then I'm really not sure what you are finding you can't do with urlrewrite.

Hi there,

When I tested Seam 2.1.0.CR1, I felt that it is slower than Seam 2.0.3.CR1, but it is much better thant Seam 2.1.0.BETA. And it seems that Seam 2.1.0.CR1 consumed more CPU on every call. It will be great if Seam 2.1.0.GA can include this jira https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2704. Thanks.

Hi,

Great job, Seam is just getting better and more attractive!

Did find something that resembles a bug, application is quite big, so hard to copy; but it looks like with Seam 2.1CR1 I am seeing application initialization events being called all at request time.

The application have a number of methods that use this annotation to setup one-time startup things (such as scheduled timers etc):

@org.jboss.seam.annotations.Observer(org.jboss.seam.postInitialization)

It looks like those methods are being called at full page (HTTP) requests and at Ajax (Ajax4J) requests as well (used in the app when leaving a field, using the a4j:support (with an event type of onblur) tag.

This behavior did no occur using Seam 2.0.2, before upgrading the app to 2.1.0.CR1 we did not see this behavior.

Console output, when going from one field to another in a form (the CustomRequestHandlerManager output below is from a @org.jboss.seam.annotations.Observer(org.jboss.seam.postInitialization) annotation. Also it looks like Seam triggers a refresh of all libraries as well?

I think I fixed this in trunk, please try a nightly build
