RAP 1.0 RC1 - New and Noteworthy
This document will become the New and Noteworthy page for the next milestone release and meanwhile serves to document the development progress.
All features documented here can be obtained from CVS HEAD.
RAP Common

API cleanup revisited |
During the API cleanup in M6, a few things slipped through which are now fixed. See bugs 201225, 201286, 201403 and 201528 for more details. Without having a bug report of their own, these changes are also worth to be mentioned:

Robustness |
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. |
Error Handling |
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. |
