6 0 2009-12-23T15:48:24+01:00 Merry Christmas to all of you. Here's the geek christmas present for JPA and Spring developers. Hades 1.1 comes with some major bugfixes, minor extensions and some SPI to allow more sophisticated extension of Hades DAO creation. The most important tickets were: * #159 - Pagination in query methods triggered lookup of entire resultset rather that only of the page * #136 - Sorting directions can now be defined per sort property * #139 - Allow easy adding of a custom DAO method to all DAOs * #162 - Derived queries now also work if a subclass of the managed entity is returned * #172, #173, #174 - Various issues regarding binding of Sort property for query methods For a detailed changelog see Version version#26. Note that as Hades is still able to run with latest Spring 2.5.x versions it is officailly been tested against Spring 3.0 GA. 12 9

6 0 2009-10-23T13:01:06+02:00 Say hello to the stable version:1.0 version of Hades! The release includes some minor brushups as well as introduction of using named parameters in query methods (#38). An important informations for Spring users might be, that Hades is compatible with current Spring 3 RC1 and thus should be with the upcoming GA release. With version:1.0 we also start publishing Sonar dashboards for all of our current open source projects. See Hades project metrics "here":http://techqa.synyx.org/project/index/126. * New Feature: #38 - allow using named parameters in query methods * Changelog: version:1.0 * Sonar: http://techqa.synyx.org/project/index/126 We'll continue developing Hades by focusing on features JPA 2.0 introduces. As it is currently unclear in how far implementing features based on this version will break backwards compatibility, we target support for JPA 2.0 to a major 2.0 version of Hades. Feel free to propse features or even submit patches! 11 9

When a query is derived from the method name the following prefixes will removed from the method name prior to translation: @find@, @findBy@, @read@, @readBy@, @get@, @getBy@. * Finder methods can have @Pageable@ and @Sort@ as parameter to apply pagination and sorting to defined queries dynamically * @getDaoClass@ of @GenericDaoFactory@ is protected now to allow reaonable subclassing * slight changes in domain support class packaging * Eclipse plugin updated due to the changes in finder method handling For more details, check out the "list of changes":http://redmine.synyx.org/versions/show/18 made for this release. 8 9
