Current version
v4.1
-
Decrease in memory consumption
We redesigned the state-management of persistent objects in Signsoft intelliBO 4.1. Thanks to
this change you will experience a considerable less memory consumption (up to 50%) in ordinary use
cases.
-
Support of JDO 2.0 fetch-groups and fetch-plans
The JDO 1 concept of the default fetch group was generalized to fetch groups and fetch plans.
Thereby you gain a fine-grained control over what fields shall be eagerly fetched in accordance
with the present use case. Contrary to the JDO 1 default fetch groups you can even control how
associated objects are loaded from the data-store.
-
Support of the JDO 2.0 attach-detach-mechanism
The proprietary transport-container mechanism of previous versions of Signsoft intelliBO was
replaced by a JDO 2.0 compliant attach-detach mechanism. Objects can now be docked and undocked to
a persistence-manager session according to the JDO standard.
-
Signsoft intelliBO ant-tasks
The major Signsoft intelliBO tools are now available as native ant tasks. These tools include
enhancer, schemagen, classgen and verifier. You can find a build.xml file on how to use these tools
in any intelliBO sample in the samples directory. The schemagen tool can now be executed without
generating a temporary db-config.xml file.
-
Enhancements of the sample applications
With each release of Signsoft intelliBO we package a comprehensive set of samples to
demonstrate features, configuration options and extension points of our product. Within these
samples you can now also find exemplifications on how to use fetch-plans or the
attach-detach-mechanism. Moreover we rearranged the architecture samples to better show you how to
integrate Signsoft intelliBO into various environments. These comprise EJB2/EJB3 container, web
container, Spring and Swing. As a special add-on, the EJB3 sample can be deployed out-of-the-box
into the JEE5 compliant application servers JBoss AS 4.2, SAP NetWeaver AS 7, Oracle OC4J
10.1.3.2/11g preview, Bea WebLogic Server 10.0 and GlassFish v1/v2.
