We're happy to announce that JVx 2.6 is available.

What's new?

• Configuration via ServiceLoader

  It's now possible to use the ServiceLoader to configure an application (IApplicationSetup). It's enough to add a library to the classpath. It's not needed to extend anything.

• Save bounds

  The Swing launcher now restores last frame bounds. The size and position of your application will be automatically saved and restored after an application restart. This feature takes care of multi monitor environments.

• Better XmlNode API
  public XmlNode get(int pIndex)
  public XmlNode getFirstTextNode() // Getting the root node in xml file
  public void addAll(Collection<XmlNode> pNodes)
  public void insertAll(int pIndex, Collection<XmlNode> pNodes)
  public void setNodes(List<XmlNode> pNodes) // replaces setSubNodes
  public List<XmlNode> getNodes() // gets sub nodes never null and readonly
  public List<XmlNode> getNodes(short pType) // Gets sub nodes of given type
  public XmlNode remove(int pIndex)
• Session states

  It's now possible to detect whether a session is initializing or destroying/expiring.

• Message class improvements

  Simple support for Yes, No, Cancel messages.

• preAuthentication support

  It's now possible to configure your sessions before authenticating without custom security managers.

• BFILE and lazy loading

  New support for BFILE database columns and improved lazy loading mechanism.

• Many Bugfixes
