The Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition, 1.2.1 release is now available at http://www.java.sun.com/j2ee/j2sdkee What's New in This Release ------------------ This release includes usability enhancements, several bug fixes, and enhanced platform support (Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.3 for Windows NT). A Linux release will be available soon. The new redeployment feature of the Application Deployment Tool enables the iterative development of J2EE applications. For example, if you want to modify a .class file in an enterprise bean, all you have to do is edit the source code, recompile it, and click the redeploy button on the Application Deployment Tool. The tool automatically replaces the old .class file in the application with the new one. (Prior to this release, if you wanted to modify an enterprise bean, you had to step through several wizard screens to rebuild the bean.) If you want to change a deployment setting, such as a JNDI name, you simply edit the appropriate field in the inspector panel of the Application Deployment Tool and then click the redeploy button. This release also contains important bug fixes: You can create a composite primary key for an entity bean with container-managed persistence. (A composite primary key is made up of multiple instance variables of an entity bean.) Enterprise bean classes, home interfaces, and remote interfaces can inherit methods from super classes and interfaces. JSP pages with character encodings other than ISO-8859_1 are supported on non-English locales. In JSP pages, nested compile-time includes are supported when relative URIs are used to specify the JSP pages. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
