[Alessio Stalla]

Hi everyone,

Today we have finally released Portofino 4.2! In this version we introduce REST APIs, an improved user interface and many other goodies. As usual, read the dedicated blog post (http://portofino.manydesigns.com/en/blog/portofino-4-2-released) for all the details, including upgrade instructions from previous versions.

We are sure that you will appreciate the release, but be vocal and tell us what you think and what we can improve next time! Also, check out the new http://portofino.manydesigns.com!

Portofino 4.2 can be downloaded from SourceForge: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/portofino/files/manydesigns-portofino/4.2/portofino-4.2.zip/download>.
Related artifacts should become available on Maven Central in the next few days.

Finally, sources are available from SourceForge and are mirrored on GitHub.

Enjoy!

Hi Allessio,

is it possible that 4.2 disabled the possibility of storing overriden .class and .tag in "WEB-INF/tags" and "WEB-INF/classes"? I have some minor changes I integrated with this functionality. Unfortuanely starting tomcat with my files in those directorys leads to a "deployWAR Error".

If this "feature" is disabled, is there still any (easy) way to do the same now?

Regards

Nope. The feature comes with the standard Servlet API. This sounds like a Tomcat bug to me. Could you try with another version? Either an older Tomcat 8 minor version, or the latest Tomcat 7.

It seems to be not realy a but. It appeared after a long try and error search, that there was a problem with some additional libs I need (tika, jett, jexl etc etc. stuff  I need for my Excel Export Solution). Somehow there where problems with depedencies and Classes that were provided by different jars.

Tomcat 8 seems to be a bit picky about that, 7 just worked and never complained about it. But I guess at the end this is just another lesson, why I should take the effort and set up a maven solution for my project.

Thanks for your pointer. Portofino 4.2 looks very promising by the way. From the few things I was able to look at in the short time the most are very nice and helpful.

Maven might not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it does help against dependency hell ;)
