Release 8.1.1

Date: Sept 20, 2019

Juneau 8.1.1 is a minor release but introduces some new features/modifications.

juneau-marshall​

  • Support for serializing/parsing Optional objects and bean properties.

  • Fixed a bug in the parsers where the generic subtype of a complex bean property type involving both collections and arrays was not being found. (e.g. List<Long>[])

  • New packages of HTTP response/exceptions beans from juneau-rest-server bundle and REST proxy annotations from juneau-rest-client so that they can be used when building REST proxy interfaces while only pulling in the marshall bundle.

    org.apache.juneau.http.response org.apache.juneau.http.exceptionorg.apache.juneau.http.remote

These replace the org.apache.juneau.rest.response, org.apache.juneau.rest.exception, and org.apache.juneau.rest.client.remote packages.

  • Defaulting SVL variables now won't ignore additional parameters. "$S{Foo,bar,baz}" used to default to "bar" but now will default to "bar,baz".

  • Ranking support has been added to all @XConfig annotations. This allows you to override the normal precedence of application of config annotations on class and method hierarchies.

juneau-rest-server​

  • Support for Optional on method parameters annotated with @Header, @FormData, @Query, @Path.

  • Fixed issue where RestMethod.debug() annotation wasn't resulting in the HTTP request being logged.

  • RestException has been deprecated and replaced by HttpException.

  • Resolved issue where parameterized types on @RestMethod-annotated method parameters of Spring beans. This is due to Spring relying on CGLIB for runtime-recompilation of beans that results in loss of parameterized-type information.

    In the following example, the beans parameter would resolve as an unparameterized List<Object> which would typically result in getting a List<ObjectMap> and subsequent ClassCastExceptions.

    @RestMethod
    public void doFoo(@Body List<MyBean> beans) {...}

    The fix involves resolving the original bean class for resolving parameterized type while leaving method invocation on the proxy method so as not to bypass Spring features.

  • New methods on BasicRest to provide feature-parity with RestServlet:

    BasicRest BasicRest.getContext() getContext() BasicRest.getRequest() getRequest() BasicRest.getResponse() getResponse() BasicRest.log(String) log(String) BasicRest.log(String,Throwable) log(String,Throwable) BasicRest.log(Level,String,Object[]) log(Level,String,Object[]) BasicRest.logObjects(Level,String,Object[]) BasicRest.log(Level,Throwable,String,Object[]) log(Level,Throwable,String,Object[])

  • The @RestResource(staticFiles) annotation now supports absolute path locations and multiple mappings:

    // Resolves static files in root package "htdocs" or working directory "htdocs", and then relative package "htdocs".
    @RestResource(staticFiles="htdocs:/htdocsfolder,htdocs:htdocs.package")

  • Fixed a bug in @RestResource(staticFiles) where the order of lookup between parent and child resources was wrong.

juneau-rest-client​

  • Removed the dependency on the juneau-rest-server module. Allows the client API to be used without pulling in all the javax.servlet and server dependencies.

  • Support for Optional return types on remote proxy methods.
