We're happy to announce VisionX 5.11.615
The new version is fully backwards compatible and contains many improvements. It also fixes some reported problems and brings new features. This version is the last version of series 5 and we didn't change bigger blocks. The 5.11.615 should be a great final version of VisionX 5. We already started development of VisionX 6 and it will bring some bigger changes because we'll update to Java 21. We also will update our embedded postgresql database. We'll update to our latest react based UI and also to latest mobile app. We have some great features in the pipeline for all of you.
... back to VisionX 5.11.615
What's new?
- NEW calculated field
Calculated field
Use this field for sum, average, min, max calculation or simple record counts. The calculated value can be changed after calculation or you can define custom formulas. It's on you. It's super easy to use and you can access the calculated fields in any action.
- Actions and Functions
Our new actions are:
- Perform search
If you have a "manual" Search button in your screen, automatic search is disable automatically. With this action it's possible to force search)
- Download URL
Save data from an URL.
- Contains (value, search, case_sensitive)
Checks if a search value is part of a specific value. case_sensitive means (B is not the same as b; but case insensitive means B is the same as b)
- Starts with (value, search, case_sensitive)
Checks if a value starts with a specific search value
- Ends with (value, search, case_sensitive)
- for loop with fixed number of iterations
Checks if a value ends with a specific search value
Changed actions:
- E-Mail
It's now possible to set dynamic text as subject instead of fixed text.
We have some totally useful new functions for you:
- length (text)
Counts the number of characters
- substring (text, start)
Creates a sub string from start to the end
- substring (text, start, count)
Creates a sub string from start and maximum count characters
- countAll (column)

Part 1 of this article is available here.
Since Java 14, ClassLoader was changed a little bit and usr_paths it not available as field anymore. It's still possible to change the java.library.path at runtime, but it's still tricky and dirty:
Method getDeclaredFields0
=
Class.
class.
getDeclaredMethod("getDeclaredFields0",
boolean.
class);
getDeclaredFields0.
setAccessible(true);
Field[] fieldsClassLoader =
(Field[])getDeclaredFields0.invoke(ClassLoader.class, Boolean.FALSE);
for (Field fldClassLoader : fieldsClassLoader) {
if ("libraries".equals(fldClassLoader.getName())) {
fldClassLoader.setAccessible(true);
Class<?>[] classesClassLoader =
fldClassLoader.getType().getDeclaredClasses();
for (Class<?> clLibraryPaths : classesClassLoader) {
if ("jdk.internal.loader.NativeLibraries$LibraryPaths".equals(
clLibraryPaths.getName())) {
Field[] fieldsLibraryPaths =
(Field[])getDeclaredFields0.invoke(clLibraryPaths, Boolean.FALSE);
for (Field fldLibPath : fieldsLibraryPaths) {
if ("USER_PATHS".equals(fldLibPath.getName())) {
final Field fldUsrPaths = fldLibPath;
fldUsrPaths.setAccessible(true);
// get array of paths
final String[] saPath = (String[])fldUsrPaths.get(null);
// check if the path to add is already present
for (String path : saPath) {
if (path.equals(pPath)) {
return;
}
}
// add the new path
String[] saNewPaths = Arrays.copyOf(saPath, saPath.length + 1);
saNewPaths[saNewPaths.length - 1] = pPath;
Object unsafe;
// Unsafe is a hack
Class<?> clsUnsafe = Class.forName("sun.misc.Unsafe");
final Field unsafeField = clsUnsafe.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
unsafeField.setAccessible(true);
unsafe = unsafeField.get(null);
Method m1 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("staticFieldBase", Field.class);
Method m2 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("staticFieldOffset", Field.class);
Object fieldBase = m1.invoke(unsafe, fldUsrPaths);
Long fieldOffset = (Long)m2.invoke(unsafe, fldUsrPaths);
Method m3 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("putObject", Object.class,
long.class, Object.class);
m3.invoke(unsafe, fieldBase, fieldOffset, saNewPaths);
}
}
}
}
return;
}
}
Here's the complete solution: toPDF project (search for addLibraryPath(String pPath))
Above code requires:
--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.loader=ALL-UNNAMED
for JDK > 14.
What a great day!
We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10.851
The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application.
We recommend the update because it's backwards compatible and you get all bugfixes which were reported by all VisionX users.
What's new?
The main focus was on bugfixes but we alwo have two new features:
- Configure a home screen for your application
The home screen is always shown if no other screen is open.
- Export a Docker definition for the application without database container
As usual, VisionX 5.10.851 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
VisionX 5.11.50 EarlyAccess version is available for all our customers.
The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes, especially our react UI and flutter UI. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.11.50.
The mobile Browser previewer is now built with Flutter 3.19.2.
With EA version it's now possible to create a docker container definition file only for the application server. Usually both containers were created as docker compose definition file. The EA version also tries to solve the problem with different database ports for the embedded database. It should just work without limitations.
An EA version is not intended for production use, but is great for development.
Have fun!

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10. It's a really powerful version.
The exact version number is 5.10.511.
The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application. We recommend react UI but we still have our good old vaadin UI on board. Our vaadin UI is still a good decision and we also continue development. No worries. As we told you in VisionX 5.9 release notes, all new cool features will be available for react UI only. In latest react UI we also bundled our latest design mode feature.
We recommend the update to 5.10 of all previous versions because it's backwards compatible and you get lots of new features and all bugfixes which were reported of all VisionX users. If we release AddOn updates, we target the new VisionX version and it's not guaranteed that old VisionX versions will get the updates.
If you plan using mobile apps, also update to 5.10 because we'll release an update of our VisionX app in the next days. This app requires VisionX 5.10 or later.
What's new?
The main focus was on bugfixes, react UI and mobile.
- New calendar component
- Using application specific web content folder
- Native mobile app production ready (enhancement)
- reactUI production ready (enhancement)
- VisionX app ready (enhancement)
As usual, VisionX 5.10.511 is available in the download area for our customers.
