Release 7.0.1

Date: Dec 24, 2017

This release is a minor update. It includes the following prereq updates:

• Apache HttpClient: 4.5.3 to 4.5.4
• Eclipse Jetty: 9.4.6.v20170531 to 9.4.8.v20171121

juneau-marshall

• New static create() methods for builders on serializers and parsers. This simplifies the syntax of creation of serializers and parsers by scratch.

  // Old way
  JsonSerializer s1 = new JsonSerializer.Builder().ws().build();
  
  // New way
  JsonSerializer s2 = JsonSerializer.create().ws().build();

  The same static create methods have also been added to the following classes:

  • SerializerGroup.create()
  • ParserGroup.create()
  • EncoderGroup.create()
  • RestClient.create()
  • ConfigFile.create()

• The order of the parameters in SerializerSession.serialize(Object,Object) has been changed to match Serializer.serialize(Object,Object).

• Fixed some bugs in the XML parser related to whitespace and comments.

juneau-svl

• New methods on Var class to restrict when nested and embedded variables are resolved.

  • Var.allowNested()
  • Var.allowRecurse()

juneau-rest-server

• New @RestResource(maxInput) and @RestMethod(maxInput) for alleviating potential DoS attacks.

juneau-microservice-server

• New pluggable console commands. When you start up the microservice, you'll now see the following:

  Running class 'RestMicroservice' using config file 'examples.cfg'.
  Server started on port 10000
  
  List of available commands:
      exit -- Shut down service
      restart -- Restarts service
      help -- Commands help
      echo -- Echo command
  
  > help help
  NAME
      help -- Commands help
  
  SYNOPSIS
      help [command]
  
  DESCRIPTION
      When called without arguments, prints the descriptions of all available commands.
      Can also be called with one or more arguments to get detailed information on a command.
  
  EXAMPLES
      List all commands:
          > help
      
      List help on the help command:
          > help help
              
  > 

  Commands are pluggable and extensible through the config file.
