Announcing the release of Introduce 1.2 which can be downloaded from
http://www.cagrid.org/wiki/Introduce .
Introduce enables rapid development of Globus compliant grid services.
The Introduce framework enables users to graphically create services and
add methods, resources, properties and security constraints, just to
name a few. The developer is then only responsible for implementing the
actual logic of the methods they describes and need not worry about
architectural aspects the grid service, generating a client or server
code, or keeping all the required files in sync, etc. Introduce is also
not tied to any particular development IDE, however, it does generate
project files for Eclipse so that the project can simply be opened up
and the developer can insert there custom business logic.
This release extends on introduce in many ways graphically and in the
service synchronization engine. It is an evolutionary release which add
some new functionality but also fixes many of the bugs from prior
releases.
This release includes the following enhancements:
-- Added ws-notification support as a resource framework option
-- Added support for configuring resource framework options from a list
of options
-- Fixed problems with finding first letter upper cased methods for
addition and removal
-- Fixed problems when having introduce imported methods that have no
package for the return type (void)
-- Refactored the Resource framework to be one set of templates instead
of three
- caused changes to the services.xsd to support the new way of
describing the resource framework options as a list instead of one
string
-- Removed ServiceTasks JDOM dependecy to the services lib directory and
moved it to the tools directory.
-- Added abiilty for services to be undeployed
-- Added ability to have resources be persisted
-- using XMLPersistanceHelper customized from globus
-- Renamed some service files so that they all now start with the
service name
-- BaseResourceBase
-- BaseResourceHome
-- ResourceConfiguration
-- ServiceConfiguration
-- Moved constants file to common so that client and service can both
use them
-- Now using jaxmejs 0.5.2 with JAXME-77 patch applied
