| is submitted, then an alert is displayed and the field is selected. |
| |
| <p>Begin making more use of OGNL expressions in place of Java code. |
| |
| <p>Malcom Edgar has contributed a <a href="doc/ComponentReference/DatePicker.html">DatePicker</a> |
| component. |
| |
| <p>Some more refactorings: IComponent methods addWrapped()/renderWrapped() -> addBody()/renderBody(). |
| |
| <p>Tapestry documentation is now available in PDF format. |
| |
| <pre> |
| [ 602881 ] Add hooks for ValidField client-side |
| [ 603023 ] StaleSession.page has error |

| </pre> |
| |
| <h3>Release 2.2-beta-1</h3> |
| |
| <p>Tapestry has now replaced its simple |
| property path support with the far |
| more powerful <a href="http://www.ognl.org">Object Graph |
| Navigation Library</a> expressions. This promises to greatly extend |
| the expressiveness of the specifications and further reduce |
| the need for Java code. The <code>property-path</code> |
| attribute of the <code><binding></code> element has been renamed |
| to <code>expression</code> (this only affects the latest, 1.3, version |
| of the DTD). |
| |
| <p>There are some small costs to using OGNL; the largest being |
| a restriction in bean names, component ids and asset names. All |
| of these must now be valid Java identifiers, and so cannot contain the |
| dash ('-') character, which was previously permitted. This affects all |
| specifications, including older versions. |
| |
| <p>Malcolm Edgar has lead the push to provide an excellent |
| <a href="doc/ComponentReference">Tapestry Component Reference</a>. |
| |
| <p> |
| You can now control the exact location of a component template by |
| declaring an asset named <code>$template</code> (which is not normally |
| a legal asset name, due to the dollar sign). If such an asset exists, |
| then it is used as the template. |
| |
| <p>A number of poorly named components have been renamed: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Action -> ActionLink |
| <li>Direct -> DirectLink |
| <li>InsertBlock -> RenderBlock |
| <li>InsertWrapped -> RenderBody |
| <li>Page -> PageLink |
| <li>Service -> ServiceLink |
| <li>ShowInspector -> InspectorButton |
| <li>Text -> TextArea |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Previous names will be maintained until at least release 2.3. |
| |
| <p> |
| In addition, the documentation has been brought (largely) up to date |
| with the significant changes so far in release 2.2. |
| |
| <pre> |
| [ 582421 ] Way to specify template location |
| [ 596929 ] NumericField params require java-type |
| [ 597314 ] Problems with URLs |
| [ 595985 ] Tapestry behind firewall |

| </pre> |
| |
| |
| <h3>Release 2.2-alpha-4</h3> |
| |
| Update to latest versions of JCommon, JFreeChart and Log4J. Added the |
| <extension> element to the application and library specifications. |

| </pre> |
| |
| <h3>Release 2.2-alpha-3</h3> |
| |
| Tapestry now supports libraries, which can provide components, pages and engine services to |
| an application. Libraries can also include libraries. The application specification |
| has been ammended to include a new <library> element, and a new type of specification, |
| the library specification, has been added. |
| |
| <p> |
| Renamed all page specifications from ".jwc" to ".page". |
| |
| <pre> |
| [ 584466 ] Cant set bean prop from localized string |

| </pre> |
| |
| <h3>Release 2.2-alpha-2</h3> |

| be typed objects, instead of simple strings (this is a change which |
| may break some existing code). |
| |
| <p> |

| page specifications and component specifications (page specifications |
| do not specify several attributes and elements related to |
| component parameters). |
