Trap to Avoid

A critical issue has been reported against this release. It is related to table and listBox state changes incorrectly reporting the selections. Because the problem affects basic operations of selecting a row or listItem, we have issued a hot fix in 4.5.25.

 

New features (Java)

New scroll buttons for tabPane
When the (browser) window containing a Nexaweb application is resized, some tabs in a tabPane may become invisible, and scroll buttons are displayed for navigating to hidden tabs. The scroll buttons are enhanced: they are bigger, more visible, easier to click on, and independently stylable. They show up on either side within the tabPane(left/right or top/bottom).

  • Resize behavior improvement: When the window is resized, the selected tab always displays. Previously the tabPane always shows the tabs starting from the first tab, and the selected tab may become invisible with window resize.
  • Styling: The class names for scroll buttons are tabButtonLeft, tabButtonRight, tabButtonUp, and tabButtonDown.

New generic bridge
The generic bridge provides a way to greatly simplify bridging and setting object properties.

  • It enables setting any properties on a custom bridge extending GenericContainerBridge class with full support of OGNL expressions
  • It enables creating a new bridge with the new component xal element without any Java code, for any UI component that extends java.awt.Container.
  • Two new xal elements, component and property are added. A new package com.nexaweb.client.bridges.xal.generic is also added. The package contains two classes: GenericComponentBridge and GenericContainerBridge.

Improvements related to next-generation Java plug-in
When Java SE 6 next-generation plug-in is enabled, a modal dialog may flash may times when it is added. The dialog also does not respond to keyboard input. Both issues are addressed.

Element keep-last-client-event added in nexaweb-client.xml
This element indicates whether the last client event fired should remain in memory. It is added to meet requirements of certain legacy applications. The default value is false.
