  • fix Core: Rewrite of WildcardMatcherHelper where the heavy-lifting is left to the regexp library. That fixes a false positive where "menu/foo/bar.xml" was matched by "menu/*.xml" in the old implementation.

  • update Updated xercesImpl to 2.8.1. Committed by AG.
  • update CForms: FormManager now caches form definitions created from Source or URI. Committed by VG.

  • update Updated quartz to 1.5.2. Committed by AG.
  • add EHDefaultStore: Allow users to configure disk-persistent parameter. In earlier cocoon versions this ehcache parameter was always true. It defines whether or not the disk store persists between restarts of the Virtual Machine. The default value is true. Committed by AG. Thanks to Ard Schrijvers.
  • fix The predefined variables "parameters" and "cocoon.parameters" now both point to the parameters object in JXTemplateGenerator and the template block. (cocoon.parameters did point to a properties object). Committed by CZ.

  • fix XIncludeTransformer: xi:fallback fail when use parse="text". Committed by AG. See Issue COCOON-1110.

    'Fragment identifiers must not be used; their appearance is a fatal error.'
    Cocoon's XIncludeTransformer incorrectly allows xpointer fragments to be specified using a fragment identifier in the href attribute. The correct way to support xpointers is the 'xpointer' attribute on xi:include, which the transformer does not currently recognize. Committed by AG. Thanks to Jason Johnston. See Issue COCOON-1753.

  • fix CForms: added a Repeater.moveRow2(from, to) method, which in contrast to the Repeater.moveRow method inserts the row at the exact to-index specified. Committed by BRD.
  • fix FOP block depends on XSP block (for samples) Committed by BD. Thanks to Vince.
  • update Portal: PageLabels can now be configured to be part of the url. Committed by RG.
  • update Made the pool-max values in the html block's generators externally configurable. Made sitemap reloading externally configurable. Made pipeline amd encodeURLTransformer pool-max values externally configurable. Committed by RG.
  • fix CForms/Ajax: when the Ajax-update contained an empty textarea, IE failed to parse this correctly, displaying '</span></div>' in the textarea. Fixed by adding an explicit closing tag for textareas. Committed by BRD.
  • fix CForms: widgets in unions lost their value when switching between union cases. Committed by BRD.
  • update Updated axis to 1.4 and commons-collections to 3.2. Committed by AG.
  • add Added a lightweight FOM_SimpleCocoon class, and placed it in the javascript scope when there isn't already a scope defined. This way, even when using javaflow, you have access to the cocoon object (with request etc..) from javascript snippets in definition. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1804.
  • add Added CSS classes in cocoon forms default XSLs. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1782.
  • update Updated ehcache to 1.2. Committed by AG.
  • fix The JDK 1.4 version of the EncodeURLTransformer did not work properly as it was not matching just the beginning of the string as the Jakarta-regexp version does. The transformer was corrected to only match the beginning of the string. In 2.1.9 this error can be circumvented by configuring the transformer and adding "*" to the end of each pattern. Committed by RG. See Issue COCOON-1742.
  • add As with all the AbstractTextSerializer based serializers, the XHTMLSerializer should handle the omit-xml-declaration to not put the XML declaration as first line of the serialized document. This prevents many rendering problems in Internet Explorer. Default behaviour is to send the xml declaration as before. Committed by AS. Thanks to Maurizio Pillitu. See Issue COCOON-1845.
  • fix Commandline interface: the user-agent is now correctly set in the request headers (and not in the request parameters). Committed by CZ. Thanks to James Bates. See Issue COCOON-1511.
  • fix RandomNumberModule: does not returns random number in the range (min,max) as expected. Committed by AG. See Issue COCOON-1716.
  • fix Performance Issue/JavaScriptFlowScript: If <reload-scripts> is set to false, don't check for last modification time of javascript source files. Committed by AG. Thanks to Georg Hüttenegger. See Issue COCOON-1721.
  • fix XSP block: Fix regression introduced in 2.1.8 that under specific circumstances logicsheets were not applied, leading to compilation errors. This manifested itself only if a) two XSPs referred to the same custom logicsheet by a relative location path, b) the custom logicsheet used another logicsheet, and c) the built-in logicsheet's namespace was not mentioned in xsp:page. The compilation errors occurred always when calling the second XSP for the first time. Fix also race condition which could lead to similar XSP compilation errors under high load when accessing the same logicsheet for the first time. Committed by AN.
  • fix Template block: Make the template block usable with JDK 1.3+ and enable it by default. Committed by CZ.
  • fix CForms: Fix inplace editing samples Committed by JBQ.
  • add CForms: Add id, state and listening attributes to the transformed form-template element (jx macros and forms transformer). Committed by CZ. See Issue COCOON-1820.
  • add XSP block: Use private methods to call start/endElement in xsp.xsl. That generates smaller bytecode allowing to compiler larger XSPs before hitting the 64k limit for the size of the generate() method. Committed by AN.
  • add Forms block: modified ProcessingPhase to add a PROCESSING_INITIALIZE phase instead of the spurious double READ_FROM_REQUEST_VALUE sent before. Made a ProcessingPhaseListener configurable from form definition with on-processing-phase and adapted the JavaScript widget listener to support processing phase events. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1781COCOON-1685.
  • add Forms block: added repeater events. Repeater now sends row added, deleted etc.. events. The listener can be added in definition with an on-repeater-modified element. Added support for these events in JavaScript listener. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1801.
  • fix Passing the default locale while parsing initial-value on a form if no locale attribute was specified. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1844.

Version 2.1.9 (April 7 2006)

  • fix Fix caching problems in ImageReader: image was not regenerated when allow-enlarging or fit-uniform sitemap parameters were changed Committed by JBQ.
  • add CForms: Added event handling for group of type "choice" (allow formsOnShow attribute) Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Rob Berens. See Issue COCOON-1809.
  • add CForms: Added method StaticSelectionList.addItem(Object value, String label) Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Rob Berens. See Issue COCOON-1808.

  • add Configuration values can now be set externally. The properties that can be modified can be identified by looking at the property files in WEB-INF/properties. The properties can be overriden by specifying them as system properties when invoking Cocoon or by placing them in a property file and identifying its location via the "org.apache.cocoon.settings" system property. The default Cocoon script sets this to ./cocoon.properties. Committed by RG.

  • add Core: Error handling fixed in map:aggregate (ContentAggregator). Now, no content is prepended to the result of any error handling pipeline. Committed by MPF.
  • add Core: Caching pipelines (CachingProcessingPipeline, ExpiresCachingProcessingPipeline, ...) will now check if the content they are trying to generate is already being generated by another caching pipeline. If so, they will wait for that content to appear in the Cache and use that content instead of re-generating it and possibly causing high load on the server. Committed by MPF.
  • add Core: ExpiresCachingProcessingPipeline will not set up a pipeline anymore when a cached version of it is available. Any cached response will now serve quickly, no matter how complex the actual pipeline is. Committed by MPF.

Version 2.1.8 (November 18 2005)

  • fix POST method in cinclude:includexml is broken. Committed by AG. Thanks to Maurice Jumelet. See Issue COCOON-1365.
  • update Forms block: If a field is required or not can be changed during form processing. Applied patch by Philipp Schmidt (philipp.schmidt@gmail.com). Committed by CZ.
  • update Forms block:
    • Automatic submit-on-change. Fields which have value-changed listeners are now by default submitted automatically, meaning adding <fi:styling submit-on-change="true"/> is no more necessary. For those cases where a field with event listeners should not be automatically submitted, set submit-on-change to false.
    • Introduce a naming convention for stylesheet-generated IDs: they should all start with the widget's ID followed by a ":" and a name. The use of ":", which is forbidden in widget names, avoids conflicts with other widgets in the form. All stylesheets have been updated to this convention.
      This change can break applications that use document.getElementById() to access some of the generated elements (notably "foo-input" that's used for the <input> of the "foo" widget), but this notation is now a public contract that will be taken care of in the future.
    • Along with field, aggregatefield and booleanfield, you can now add value-changed listeners on output and upload widgets.
    • Widget validators can now return not only a boolean value, but also a String or an XMLizable (such as I18nMessage) which are used to set a validation error on the widget.
    • The <fi:styling submit-on-change="output"/> is no more available, as it was intrinsically broken as a field whose value is not submitted is reset. Use the "output" widget state to achieve the same effect.
    Committed by SW.
  • fix Forms block: Fix HTML rendering of booleanfields in output state. Committed by SW. Thanks to Jason Johnston. See Issue 36381.
