...

If you are running Database Connector v2.5.0 - v2.5.2 you must upgrade to v2.5.3+ due to issues solved in 2.5.3. 

Enhancements:
  • #18166 - Batch processing of POST/Create requests. JDBC inserts are batched instead of performing individual inserts.
  • Logging improvements
  • KIOSK mode - when no configuration.xml is defined, the KIOSK mode pre-loads BIRT (ClassicModels) and myStore QuerySets with in-memory Derby databases. This will make it very easy to try out the DB Connector.
  • #19243 - Support for JSON payload from business rules when performing POSTs and PUTs.
  • #20546 - Query statements are validated when the DB Connector starts instead of when used.
  • Console prints the DB Connector version and revision number.
  • #18620 - Generating max-length for SQL Server NVARCHAR
  • #20532 - Ability to disable QuerySets and/or Querys while developing your integration.
  • #18708, #18676 - Returns blank or null in the JSON results for columns that have blank or null values..
  • The database.war is  executable.
  • The SQL Server JDBC driver is included in the Database connector war.
  • QuerySet and Query names only allow alphanumeric, dot, dash and underline characters. They must start with letters. This change makes sure that they are automatically XML and JSON friendly.
  • The driver and validationQuery attributes in <resource-def> are now optional: they will be properly inferred based on the current database.
  • The configuration.xml file is automatically picked up from the current directory where the DB Connector was launched or from ./config/configuration.xml. It can be manually set by using the frevvo.connectors.database.configuration property as before. This is specially useful when running the DB Connector standalone.
  • #9564 - Ability to generate schemas for all queries in a queryset. This makes it possible to download a single XSD for all queries at once.
