A new release of OBOE Open Business Objects for EDI has been posted on the American Coders web site. For more information visit http://www.OpenBusinessObjects.com This release adds more functionality: 1. IDList class to assist the IDDE class. 2. Stores transactionSet objects in persistent Java object files. OBOE translates between several Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document formats and EDI/XML files. The package is targeted at legacy EDI users who want to integrate their systems with the Internet quickly and easily using standards based technology. Release 1.4.0 July 18, 2000 - Replaced code and description Vectors in IDDE and TemplateDE with a new class named IDList. This effected constructors and getter/setter methods. - Changed some String default values in TransactionSetFactor from null to "". - Externalized TransactionSet class and template classes to create persistent objects of XML rules file While the XML rules file does provide persistence, the parsing of the file takes too long. After a base transaction set is created from its rules file, the transaction set is captured as an externalized Object stream. This allows the process to reuse the object over and over without having to parse the xml rules file each time. The rules file will be parsed when - The base class structure has changed - The rules file is newer than the object stream file - The object stream file does not exists The object stream file is used otherwise. Object stream files will be stored in the same directory as the xml rules file. So if the oboe.properties file points the xml files in directory c:/LookHereForXMLFiles and the file to be parsed is 840.xml then the package will create a file with the following pathname c:/LookHereForXMLFiles/840.object. This object file will be used in subsequent calls to build an 840 object instead of using the rules file. - added required attribute to the DataElement class. The required attribute is a char. Use the getRequired/setRequired methods. All related constructor classes modified. Added the required parameter before the minLength parameter. --- Joe McVerry, President and Chief Technical Officer American Coders Ltd.
