Piriti 0.7.0b1 released

[Harald Pehl]

I'm pleased to announce the first beta of the upcoming Piriti 0.7.0 release. Piriti 0.7.0 is a major release with breaking API changes, lots of new features and bugfixes.

Breaking API Changes:

• Piriti requires GWT 2.2 and GIN 1.5
• Dropped GXT support
• Removed @Json, @JsonMappings, @Xml and @XmlMappings annotations

New Features:

• Devided Piriti into different modules:
• name.pehl.piriti.commons.Commons
• name.pehl.piriti.converter.Converter
• name.pehl.piriti.json.JSON
• name.pehl.piriti.property.Property
• name.pehl.piriti.xml.XML
• Simplified mapping setup: All properties in a POJO hirarchy are now mapped by default
• Added new annotations to overide default behaviour:
• @Order
• @Path
• @Format
• @Native
• @Transient
• @CreateWith
• @MapUpTo
• Added @Mappings and @Mapping annotation for external mappings (JSON and XML)
• Added support for polymorhic assoziations
• Converters can now be used for any type
• Added XML serialisation (not yet implemented, but scheduled for the 0.7.0 release)
• Added support for IDs and IDREFs in JSON (not yet implemented, but scheduled for the 0.7.0 release)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed problems when mapping collection implementations
• GWT.create() is now used instead of new operator

I also restructured the wiki and added a FAQ and a comparison to other JSON / XML mappers.

Is it possible to define a property as @Transient with the external mappings?

Cheers,

Jamie
