Changes in version 2.0.3 (31.07.2008)
-------------------------------------
New Features
* Introduced view-state <binder> sub-element, allowing the model bindings to be configured explicitly per view (SWF-568).
This allows you to restrict the allowed field->model bindings.
It also allows you to register a custom type Converter per field by referring to it by its identifier; e.g. "shortDate".
In addition, you can set basic binding value constraints such as required=true.
See the 'Views' section of the reference documentation for more information and the Spring Travel booking-mvc sample for an example.
* You can now use Spring's own DataBinder for form data binding; as an alternative to OGNL or Unified EL.
This allows you to take advantage of the unique features of the DataBinder such as the ability to apply type conversion to elements of a generic collection.
To do this, set the "useSpringBeanBinding" property to true on a custom MvcViewFactoryCreator instance.
See the Config section of the reference documentation for how to install a custom ViewFactoryCreator.
* Added the ability to disable model validation per transition by setting validate="false".
This allows enabling binding but disabling validation; useful when going back between pages.
See the 'Views' section of the reference documentation for more information.
* Introduced new flavor of the Spring Travel referenced application built to run as a set of OSGi bundles
on the SpringSource Application Platform in a PAR deployment unit.
Access spring-webflow-samples/platform-spring-travel to review and build the sample.
* Now ensure that Spring Faces now outputs Javascript blocks that are valid for both HTML and XHTML content types (SWF-785).
Improvements
* Unified the "Formatter" and "Conversion" systems into a single "Conversion" type conversion system.
This unified type conversion system is now used consistently throughout Web Flow, including for view data binding.
Simplified the Converter API to make it easier to implement custom converters, including TwoWayConverters.
See the example converters in org.springframework.binding.convert.converters package for example Converter implementations.
To plug in your own custom converters, register a custom ConversionService.
Custom converters will be usable immediately throughout the system, and can be aliased e.g. "shortDate".
See the Config section of the reference documentation for how to install a custom ConversionService, and the booking-mvc sample for an example.
* Made several improvements to the documentation. Added coverage of action-states and decision-states (SWF-721).
Also added converage of the new view-state binder element.
* Added support for rendering .jspx views selected by a flow in a Spring MVC environment (SWF-793).
* Error responses returned as the result of handling an Ajax request are now displayed in an error popup dialog by default (SWF-783).
* Made the eventId request parameter configurable in a Spring MVC environment (SWF-731).
Bug Fixes
* Fixed a bug preventing binding of String[] array request parameters to collection properties in a Spring MVC environment (SWF-720).
This bug effected use of <form:checkboxes> and <form:select> tags.
* Fixed a bug where classpath: resource loading prefix was not respected within a Flow ApplicationContext (SWF-743).
This prevented loading of classpath-based resources defined in flow beans files imported using the <bean-import> tag.
* Fixed a bug where the Severity.FATAL severity was lost in the mapping of a JSF FacesMessage to a Spring Message (SWF-752).
Added Severity.FATAL as a supported message severity.
* Fixed a bug where the "detail" part of a FacesMessage was lost in the mapping of a JSF FacesMessages to a Spring Message (SWF-751).
* Fixed a bug where transitioning back to the originating view-state within one request always triggered a redirect (SWF-808).
Redirect+after+post is appropriate for non-Ajax requests, but was not appropriate for Ajax requests.
* Fixed a bug where attempting to render a view from an end-state resulted in an exception (SWF-711).
* Fixed a bug where flows where not accessible inside unexpanded WAR archives (SWF-784).
* Fixed several browser compatibility bugs affecting IE 6 with Spring Javascript (SWF-764).
