				<h2>Download &amp; installation instructions</h2>

                <p>This is the final 0.9.7. release, mainly a maintenance release. We are currently
				   planning the next release which will be Castor 0.9.9, a feature release.</p>

				<h2>Changes</h2>

				<h3>Moved key generators to jdo.keygen package</h3>

				<p>Whilst this change is non-intrusive per se, please note that you might have to
				   change a local <tt>castor.properties</tt> file if you happened to re-specify key generators
				   in there.</p>

				<h3>Fixed problem with multiple &lt;database&gt; configurations</h3>

				<p>Support for multiple database configurations has been re-enabled.</p>

	    <release version="0.9.7M1">
	        <description>Milestone release for 0.9.7</description>
    		<date>May 25, 2005</date>
    		<managed-by>Werner Guttmann</managed-by>
            <summary>
				<h2>Download &amp; installation instructions</h2>

				<p>Please note that we are providing the usual suspect (binaries, docs and
				   sources) for this release at <a href="http://dist.codehaus.org/castor/0.9.7.">
				   the Codehaus</a>. We recommend, though, to download the complete package,
				   as the HTML docs at <a href="http://castor.codehaus.org">the main Castor site</a> has
				   not been updated, and to build the documentation yourself.</p>

				<h2>Changes</h2>

				<h3>Support for JDBC proxy classes</h3>

				<p>Proxy classes for <tt>java.sql.Connection</tt> and
				   <tt>java.sql.PreparedStatement</tt> instances have been added, to allow for
				   complete and better JDBC statements to be output to the log files. As this might impose
				   a performance penalty at run-time, we have added a new property to the Castor
				   property file (<tt>castor.properties</tt>) to allow configuration of this
				   feature.</p>

<code>
  # True if JDBC proxy classes should be used to enable more detailed logging output of SQL
  # statements; false otherwise (logging will be turned off completely).
  #
  org.exolab.castor.persist.useProxy=true
</code>

				<p>When disabled, no logging of SQL statements will occur al all.</p>

				<h3>Castor and Java 5</h3>

				<p>Several bugs have been fixed to allow use of Castor with a JDK 1.5. This
				   mainly involved preventing compilation problems due to variable names et al.
				   that were in conflict with new Java 5 naming conventions (e.g. use of enum as
				   a variable name).</p>

				<h3>Renamed JDO2 to JDOManager</h3>

				<p><tt>JDO2</tt> has been renamed to <tt>JDOManager</tt>. Please change your source
				   code accordingly. Please note that - going forward - any bug fixes/enhancements will
				   be committed against JDOManager only.</p>

				<h3>Type of access mode constants changed</h3>

				<p>The type of the access mode constants (Shared / ReadOnly / Exclusive / DbLocked)
				   defined in Database interface has changed from <code>short</code> to
				   <code>org.exolab.castor.mapping.AccessMode</code>. To allow you to use previous
				   short as well as new AccessMode constants we added new incarnations of the
				   Database.load(..) and Query.execute(..) methods. In addition we needed to change
				   the parameter types of Persistent.jdoLoad(..) and CallbackInterceptor.loaded(..)
				   from short to AccessMode.</p>

				<h3>Default field types</h3>

				<p>It is possible again - after disabling this feature in 0.9.6 - to not specify
				   a type in a field mapping. By default, a field defined as such will have a
				   type of 'java.lang.String'.</p>

				<h2>Additions</h2>

				<h3>Addition of RSS feed for announcements</h3>

				<p>An RSS feed has been added to the project documentation to allow
				   users to be informed about additions/changes to Castor. This feed basically
				   mirrors the news items posted to <url>http://castor.codehaus.org/news.html</url></p>

				<h3>Specifying a binding file with the Source generator Ant task</h3>

                <p>Support for specifying a binding file with the Castor Source Generator Ant Task
				   has been added. Below is the example as provided with the 0.9.6 release notes
				   extended to cover the specification of a binding file:</p>

                <code>
  &lt;target name="castor:gen:src" depends="init"
    description="Generate Java source files from XSD."&gt;

    &lt;taskdef name="castor-srcgen"
      classname="org.exolab.castor.tools.ant.taskdefs.CastorSourceGenTask"
      classpathref="castor.class.path" /&gt;
    &lt;mkdir dir="${gen.src.d}" /&gt;
    &lt;castor-srcgen file="${schema.d}/books2.xsd"
      todir="${gen.src.d}"
      package="com.sourcebeat.castorlive.xmodel"
      types="j2"
      bindingfile="custom-binding.xml"
      warnings="false" /&gt;
  &lt;/target&gt;
                </code>


				<h2>Problems fixed</h2>

                <p>Since release 0.9.6, the following problem areas have been addressed.</p>

               <description>
                   Fixed issue with GeneralizedFieldHandler not able to handle collections.
                   Collections are now automatically iterated over during getValue() calls
                   and each item in the collection is passed into the convertUponGet method.
                   To retain the old behavior simply add a call to #setCollectionIteration
                   with a value of false in the constructor of your GeneralizedFieldHandler.
                   The behavior for setter methods is not changed since only one item at a
                   time is passed into the setter already.

                  Fixed whitespace processing bug, where a ' ' was actually
                  getting appended to the end of a string value if the parser
                  was calling the #characters method again with only whitespace
                  following a previous call to #characters method where valid
                  content existed.

                   Added initial support to suppress namespaces during Marshalling. This
                   has been a long asked for feature, so I figured it was about time I
                   finally got around to doing this.

                <h3>Open issues:</h3>

                <p>There's an issue with Castor finding mapping files within JARs when the path to
                   the mapping file is specified relatively to the JDO configuration file. We are working
                   on this, but as there's a workaround (using InputSources as mentioned on the
                   mailing lists recently), we have decided to go ahead and not hold back this
                   second release candidate. Details on this bug can be found here.</p>

                <p>Since the first release candidate, the following problem areas have been addressed.</p>

        <release version="0.9.6 RC1">
            <date>November 08, 2004</date>
         <description>Mainly bug fixes, but also contains enhancements in Castor JDO, XML.</description>
            <managed-by>Werner Guttmann</managed-by>
            <summary>
                <h2>Download &amp; installation instructions</h2>

                <p>Please note that we are providing the usual suspect (binaries, docs and
                   sources) for this release at <a href="ftp://ftp.exolab.org/pub/castor/castor_0.9.6.">
                   the Exolab FTP server</a>. We recommend, though, to download the complete package,
                   as the HTML docs at <a href="http://castor.codehaus.org">the main Castor site</a> have
                   not been updated, and build the documentation yourself.</p>

                <h2>Changes</h2>

                <h3>Format of the JDO configuration file</h3>

                <p>Due to various internal refactorings, we decide to change the syntax of the
                   JDO configuration file, adding a new root element named &lt;jdo-conf&gt; and elements
                   to declare transaction demarcation semantics. Here's a sample of Castor JDO
                   running against mySQL (with local transactions).</p>

                <code>
&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE jdo-conf PUBLIC
    "-//EXOLAB/Castor JDO Configuration DTD Version 1.0//EN"
    "http://castor.codehaus.org/jdo-conf.dtd"&gt;

&lt;jdo-conf&gt;
    &lt;database name="test" engine="mysql" &gt;
        &lt;driver url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test"
                class-name="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"&gt;
            &lt;param name="user" value="test" /&gt;
            &lt;param name="password" value="test" /&gt;
        &lt;/driver&gt;
        &lt;mapping href="mapping.xml" /&gt;
    &lt;/database&gt;
    &lt;transaction-demarcation mode="local" /&gt;
&lt;/jdo-conf&gt;
                </code>

                <h3>Configuration of JDBC Datasources</h3>

                <p>When setting up JDBC DataSources to be used with Castor JDO, configuration
                   of parameters now needs to occur as a sequence of &lt;param&gt; elements rather
                   than one &lt;params&gt; element. This is to stream-line the way these JDBC resources
                   are configured.</p>

                <p>What used to be</p>

                <code>
&lt;data-source class-name="com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDataSource"&gt;
    &lt;params user="thomas"
            password="thomas"
            port-number="2048"
            server-name="Dual1"
            database-name="thomas" /&gt;
&lt;/data-source&gt;
                </code>

                <p>before this release, now needs to be specifed as follows:</p>

                <code>
&lt;data-source class-name="com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDataSource"&gt;
    &lt;param name="user" value="thomas" /&gt;
    &lt;param name="password" value="thomas" /&gt;
    &lt;param name="port-number" value="2048" /&gt;
    &lt;param name="server-name" value="Dual1" /&gt;
    &lt;param name="database-name" value="thomas" /&gt;
&lt;/data-source&gt;
                </code>

                <p>Please note the use of hyphens in the naming of properties. In other words,
                   in order for Castor to set the value of the portNumber property of the
                   SybDataSource to '2048', please use the following &lt;param&gt; element</p>

                <code>
    &lt;param name="port-number" value="2048" /&gt;
                </code>

                <p>rather than</p>

                <code>
    &lt;param name="portNumber" value="2048" /&gt;
                </code>

                <p>as shown in the pooling documentation for previous releases.</p>

                <h3>Transaction demarcation</h3>

                <p>A new way of configuring transaction demarcation has been added. This
                   configuration is now part of the main JDO configuration file (jdo-conf)
                   and mandates the specification of the transaction demarcation used within
                   your application.</p>

                <p>As part of this configuration file, the user has to specify which transaction
                   demarcation to use. This can either be 'local' or 'global', and is supplied
                   by the use of a &lt;transaction-demarcation&gt; element.</p>

                <h4>Local Mode</h4>

                <p>When using Castor JDO stand-alone and you want Castor to control
                   transaction demarcation ('local' mode), please use this element
                   as follows:</p>

                <code>
&lt;transaction-demarcation mode="local" /&gt;
                </code>

                <h4>Global Mode</h4>

                <p>When running inside a J2EE application server, and you want to use
                   container managed transactions ('global' transactions), please make
                   sure you use this element as follows:</p>

                <code>
  &lt;transaction-demarcation mode="global"&gt;
    &lt;transaction-manager name="jndi" /&gt;
  &lt;/transaction-demarcation&gt;
                </code>

                <p>In this mode, the XML element &lt;transaction-manager&gt; specifies the
                   transaction manager that is used by your application server/web container
                   to control these transactions.</p>

                <p>The following transaction managers are supported in Castor at the
                   time of the release of Castor 0.9.6:</p>

                <p>In addition to specifying the transaction manager name, it is possible
                   to pass arbitrary name/value pairs to the transaction manager instance.</p>

                <p><b>Note:</b>It should also be noted that "database pooling" must be enabled
                    for the JDO instance when using the WAS v4 and v5 transaction managers, or
                    the JDO "database" instance will fall outside the current transaction/thread,
                    resulting in the error message "No transaction in progress for the current
                    thread". For example:</p>

                <code>
JDO myJdo = new JDO();
myJdo.setDatabasePooling( true );
                </code>

                <p><b>Note:</b> At the moment, only the JNDI transaction manager factory
                   supports such an attribute. In this context, the jndiEnc attribute can be
                   used to specify what JNDI ENC to use to lookup the transaction manager as
                   shown below:</p>

                <code>
  &lt;transaction-demarcation mode="global"&gt;
    &lt;transaction-manager name="jndi"&gt;
      &lt;param name="jndiEnc" value="java:comp/env/TransactionManager" /&gt;
    &lt;/transaction-manager&gt;
  &lt;/transaction-demarcation&gt;
                </code>

                <h3>Using timezone information when accessing date/time/timestamp data</h3>

                <p>Castor will use the JDBC ResultSet.getDate(int, Calendar) and related
                   methods which take a Calendar object to specify the timezone of the
                   data retrieved from the database when the timezone information is not
                   already specified in the data; this ensures that the 'current' timezone
                   is applied.</p>

                <p>The default time zone can be configured in the castor.properties file; see
                   the configuration section for details on how to configure Castor with
                   information about your default time zone. To change the timezone to a different
                   timezone than the default, please set a (different) value on the
                   org.exolab.castor.jdo.defaultTimeZone property:</p>

                <code>
# Default time zone to apply to dates/times fetched from database fields,
# if not already part of the data.  Specify same format as in
# java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone, or an empty string to use the computer's
# local time zone.
# org.exolab.castor.jdo.defaultTimeZone=
org.exolab.castor.jdo.defaultTimeZone=GMT+8:00
                </code>

                <h2>New features</h2>

                <h3>JDO configuration without a file and JDoConfFactory</h3>

                <p>As part of this release, we have added a way to configure Castor JDO
                   without the need to provide an XML configuration file. As such,</p>

                <code>
JDO.setConfiguration(JdoConf)
                </code>

                <p>has been provided to pass in an instance of JdoConf. Too assist users
                   of this new approach in creating JdoConf instances, please have a look
                   at org.exolab.castor.jdo.util.JdoConfFactory.</p>

                <h3>Resetting database configurations</h3>

                <p>In order to clear all previously registered Castor Database configurations
                   you can now call the new function
                   org.exolab.castor.jdo.engine.DatabaseRegistry.clear(). This is for
                   example usefull, if you want to log on using a user supplied login name
                   and database connection. It is especially needed if it's possible to change
                   the login password of the database login account in interactive applications.</p>

                <h3>CacheManager</h3>

                <p>With this release, we have decided to remove several methods related to
                   clearing caches (partially) from Database(impl).java. Instead, we have
                   created a new CacheManager class in the util package that can be obtained from
                   a Database instance as follows:</p>

                <code>
Database db = jdo.getDatabase();
CacheManager manager = db.getCacheManager();
                </code>

                <p>Once such an instance has been obtained, cache content can be cleared
                   (partially) using one of several CacheManager?.clearCache() methods. In
                   addition, users might inquire about whether an object is currently cached
                   (or not) by using CacheManager.isCached (Class, Object).</p>

                <p>Details about the functionality provided by this new class can be found
                   in the HTML docs and/or Javadocs.</p>

                <h3>OQL - Support for LIMIT/OFFSET clauses</h3>

                <p>On a selected number of RDBMS, Castor JDO now supports the use of LIMIT
                   (and OFFSET clauses) as follows:</p>

                <code>
OQLQuery query =
   db.getOQLQuery ("select a from Account order by id limit $1 offset $2");
query.bind (10);
query.bind (5);
OQLResults results = query.execute();
                </code>

                <p>This will select accounts 6 to 15, given that numbers for account ids start
                   at 1.</p>

                <p>As per this release, the following RDBMS have full/partial support for this
                   new feature.</p>

                <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#990033"><tr><td>
                    <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="8" bgcolor="#EDEDED">
                  <tr bgcolor="#990033" style="color:#FFFFFF">
                            <th align="left">RDBMS</th><th>LIMIT</th><th>OFFSET</th>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>postgreSQL</td><td>Yes</td><td>Yes</td>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>mySQL</td><td>Yes</td><td>Yes</td>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>Oracle - 1)</td><td>Yes</td><td>Yes</td>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>HSQL</td><td>Yes</td><td>Yes</td>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>MS SQL</td><td>Yes</td><td>-</td>
                        </tr><tr>
                            <td>DB2</td><td>Yes</td><td>-</td>
                        </tr>
                    </table></td></tr>
                </table>

                <p>1) Oracle has full support for LIMIT/OFFSET clauses for release 8.1.6 and
                   later.</p>

                <h3>OQL - bind variables in combination with "IN" operators</h3>

                <p>Previously it was only possible to use OQL WHERE statements with "IN"
                   operators of the following form:</p>

                <code>
"... WHERE DNAME in list(1, 2, 3)"
"... WHERE DNAME in list(\"SALES\", \"TEST\", \"ABC\")"
"... WHERE DNAME in list(\"ABC\", nil)"
                </code>

                <p>To make it easier executing dynamic queries, it's now also allowed to
                   use bind variables, for example:</p>

                <code>
"... WHERE DNAME in list($1, $2)"
                </code>

                <h3>Add your own cache implementation</h3>

                <p>If you are not satisfied with Castor's set of performance caches, we've
                   added a way for you to provide you own cache implementationa and register
                   it with Castor.</p>

                <p>To provide a custom cache implementation, you need to</p>

                <ol>
                    <li>Create a class that implements org.exolab.castor.persist.cache.Cache
                       (we have provided an abstract base class that you can use at your
                       convenience).</li>
                    <li>Create a class that implements org.exolab.castor.persist.cache.CacheFactory
                       (we have provided an abstract base class that you can use at your
                       convenience).</li>
                    <li>Register your custom cache implementation with Castor JDO in the
                        castor.properties file.</li>
                </ol>

                <p>Detailed instructions can be found in the package.html file of the
                   org.exolab.castor.persist.cache package.</p>

                <h3>Castor Source Generator Ant Task</h3>

                <p>The Castor Source Generator Ant Task has been added to the CVS tree. Below
                   is an example of how to use it from within an Ant build descriptor:</p>

                <code>
  &lt;target name="castor:gen:src" depends="init"
    description="Generate Java source files from XSD."&gt;

    &lt;taskdef name="castor-srcgen"
      classname="org.exolab.castor.tools.ant.taskdefs.CastorSourceGenTask"
      classpathref="castor.class.path" /&gt;
    &lt;mkdir dir="${gen.src.d}" /&gt;
    &lt;castor-srcgen file="${schema.d}/books2.xsd"
      todir="${gen.src.d}"
      package="com.sourcebeat.castorlive.xmodel"
      types="j2"
      warnings="false" /&gt;
  &lt;/target&gt;
                </code>

                <p>The only requirement is that the castor-srcgen-ant-task.jar must be on
                   the CLASSPATH.</p>

                <h2>New features - experimental</h2>

                <h3>JDO2 - a new approach</h3>

                <p>Due to a couple of inconsistencies in the interface of the JDO class, we
                   have decided to refactor this class and provide users with a much improved
                   way of configuring and instantiating JDO instances (as explained below).
                   To provide backwards-compatibility, we have created a new JDO2 class
                   and left the old untouched.</p>

                <p>To create a Castor JDO instance (based upon a XML configuration file),
                   users need to execute code similar to the following lines:</p>

                <code>
JDO2.loadConfiguration ("jdo-conf.xml");
JDO2 jdo = JDO2.createInstance ("test");
                </code>

                <p>Similar to what the old interface used to be, a couple of overloaded
                   loadConfiguration() methods are provided, to allow specification of
                   class loaders and XML entity resolvers.</p>
            </summary>

               <description>
                   Added support for namespace to package mappings on the Unmarshaller
                   and UnmarshalHandler. This basically fixes issues where Castor
                   can't find the right package to look for classes during
                   unmarshalling. This is main for those people using generated
                   source code, as using a mapping file you must specify the
                   packages and namespaces appropriately.

                   Updated the Marshaller to use ContentHandler directly instead
                   of wrapping in a ParserAdapter. Users Marshalling to a
                   ContentHandler should see a significant speed up when
                   Marshalling.

                   Fixed a bug in the Marshaller with the xsi:type logic not being
                   strict enough. Sometimes the Marshaller was not adding xsi:type
                   when it was needed. I've modified this logic a bit to make it
                   output xsi:type more often in order to preserve round tripping.

                        instance (plus a factory class for creating JdoConf instances).

                        Fixes a memory leak with the linked-list implementation by removing
                        LinkedList completely; uses the Hashtable directly, resulting in much
                        better performance. ValuesEnumeration no longer use a Vector, but intercepts
                        the initial enumeration to provide the values.
