XAMJ 0.92 - Open Source Java Based Alternative to XAML

info@xamjwg.org   28 Jun 2005 20:53 GMTPage rating:


XAMJ is a thin client XML UI language tightly integrated with Java.
Java scriptlets may be embedded in the XML. Like HTML/Javascript, it is
deployed on a browser/platform, called Warrior. (XAMJ is an open source
Java-based alternative to Microsoft's .NET-based XAML.)

The 0.92 release introduces several usability and deployment
improvements:

- Added mechanism to link from HTML. It consists of
using a file with mime-type application/x-htln+xml
with a root element which has an href attribute.
(We will also be providing a mechanism thru our
website to make this easier.) This is passed to
Warrior as a file, which in turns opens the
target URL. (A XAMJ document over http runs
in a secure sandbox.)

- Now caching XAMJ and other content. Very noticeable
the second time you launch Warrior.

- Now reusing JVM if running. Very noticeable if
you launch Warrior or an app while another is
running.

- Added a standard I/O console, which may be accessed
from the View menu and also from the Program Group.
This works since the JVM is now shared.

- Added on-paint event to box/vbox/hbox which can
be used to paint on an AWT Graphics/Graphics2D object.

- Added href attribute to all button elements,
including menu items.

- Added property attribute to on-property-change
element.

- Added param element for use with do-navigate.

- Added do-open action element to open content in a
new window. Similar to do-navigate.

- Added do-set action element to set element properties.
May be used in conjunction with on-property-change.

- Fixed issues with .xamj file association title, icon
and mime type.

- Fixed getSelectedButton method in XButtonGroupElement.

- Added markup style attributes paragraphBreakBefore and
lineBreakBefore. Fixed <h> tag accordingly.

- Added expression scriptlet of the form (%: expr %) which
is short for (%= ((XElement) expr).getElementValue() %).
Should be typically used with param and do-set.

- Changed default width/height of boxes to sum preferred
width/height of children.

- Fixed so it cancels ongoing requests when nagivating to
new page.

- Method XElement.getName changed to XElement.getNodeName.
