| − | ===RAP 1.0 RC1 - New and Noteworthy===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Here are some of the more noteworthy things available in the first release candidate build (September 28, 2007) which is now available for [http://www.eclipse.org/rap/downloads.php download].
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | |width="20%"|'''Empty API implemented'''
| + | |
| − | |width="80%"|
| + | |
| − | With the [[Rap10M6_News|last milestone]] we provided some API beforehand without actually implementing it. These gaps are now being filled in:
| + | |
| − | * <code>Table#getItem(Point)</code> now returns the <code>TableItem</code> at the given point. With this change <code>TableViewer#getItemAt(Point)</code> also returns something useful (see also <s>[https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200397 200397]</s>).
| + | |
| − | * <code>VerifyListener</code>s are implemented for <code>Text</code> and <code>Combo</code>.<br /> Please be aware that the current implementation sends <code>VerifyEvent</code>s delayed, as it is done with <code>ModifyEvent</code>s. This means that if you alter or cancel (by setting <code>doit</code> to <code>false</code>) the changes in your <code>VerifyListener#verifyText</code> code, it may override changes that meanwhile have taken place client-side.
| + | |
| − | * <code>Combo</code> has everything related to be editable which we introduced before API freeze (see {{bug|187252}})
| + | |
| − | ** <code>getText()</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>setText()</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>indexOf(String, int)</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>indexOf(String)</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>addModifyListener()</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>removeModifyListener()</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>addVerifyListener()</code>
| + | |
| − | ** <code>removeVerifyListener()</code>
| + | |
| − | Note that the combo now is editable by default (as SWT) and you need to set the <code>SWT.READ_ONLY</code> style bit to prevent editing.

| − | |width="20%"|'''API cleanup revisited'''
| + | |
| − | |width="80%"|
| + | |
| − | During the API cleanup in [[Rap10M6_News|M6]], a few things slipped through which are now fixed. See bugs [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201225 201225], [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201286 201286], [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201403 201403] and [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201528 201528] for more details.

| − | Without having a bug report of their own, these changes are also worth to be mentioned:
| + | |
| − | * <code>AbstractWidgetLCA#getTypePoolId</code> no longer throws <code>IOException</code>
| + | |
| − | * the last argument, named <code>clip</code>, was removed from <code>WidgetLCAUtil#writeBounds</code>. The method now works as if it was set to <code>false</code>
| + | |
| − | * the <code>ControlLCAUtil#writeImage</code> wasn't used in RWT and therefore removed
| + | |
| − | * the signature of <code>ControlLCAUtil#writeStyleFlags( Widget )</code> was changed to <code>writeStyleFlags( Control )</code>

| − | |width="20%"|'''Exit confirmation'''
| + | |
| − | |width="80%"|
| + | |
| − | To have the ability to warn the user before leaving the application the <code>org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding</code> extension point provides a new attribute called <code>exitConfirmation</code>. If the value is empty nothing will happen but in the case you provide a message it will be shown to the user before he can close the page or locate to another one.
| + | |
| − | Note that this only works for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Opera and Safari have no possibility to prevent closing the current window/tab.

| + | |
| − | |width="80%"|
| + | |
| − | Several enhancements were made to react on unexpected situations more smoothly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When a request is sent to an expired or otherwise invalidated session, now a (yet very basic) HTML page informs the user what happened and provides a link to restart the session.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To deal with bad connections or temporarily unavailable servers, now a message box appears, that gives the user a chance to retry sending the request.

| − | |width="20%"|'''Error Handling'''
| + | |
| − | |width="80%"|
| + | |
| − | In the case of a server-side programming error that leads to an exception which is not handled by the Workbench or other error handling facilities, it is now passed to the servlet engine. The client-side reacts accordingly and displays the error page as it was sent by the servlet engine.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In case of a JavaScript error, that occurs while the server response is being processed, an error page displays the error message along with the code that caused it.
