1. Summary

This version of the info.odma.practical100 package introduces and verifies the upgrades that support the ODMJNI 1.0 0.30alpha Retrieval Confirmation stage of the project. 

There are breaking changes to 0.20alpha and one class is being deprecated as public.  There are also a small number of additions to support the successful presentation and viewing of retrieved documents.

Because of the breaking changes, staging of practical100 to 0.30alpha integration occurs in three stages:

• First, the 0.30 changes to practical100 are made and the Null01 test is created to operate properly with respect to those changes.
     
• Next, an 0.25alpha regression is created using the 0.30alpha practical100 and a modification of the 0.20alpha odmjni100 classes and a new test (setup03) to demonstrate that the 0.30changes can be used to repeat the 0.20alpha end-to-end confirmation.
     
• Finally, any touch-ups to the practical100 0.30alpha are made and the package is integrated with the confirmation build and test fixtures for the ODMJNI 1.0 0.30alpha release.  The Null01 test is updated and confirmed.  (Other tests will be updated and confirmed as needed as part of the odmjni100 0.30alpha confirmation.)

2. Developer Notes: Changes for 0.30alpha

• The initial changes are those described in the latest version of the PreReleaseNotes document. 
     
• 0.00 The changes were verified in the 0.25alpha regression test that was deployed solely as a confirmation that the new practical100 components and corresponding odmjni100 changes still operate properly with the 0.20alpha end-to-end functionality.
    
• 0.01 For the 0.30alpha release, one additional change was required.  OdmNullWorkingDocument.java is modified to make the class public and to make the constructor protected.  This allows the class to be used as the base for the OdmJniView class of the odmjni100 package.
     
• 0.02 For the 0.50beta release, one further change was required, similar to that made in 0.30alpha.  OdmNullPendingDocument.java is also modified to make the class public and to make the constructor protected.  This allows the class to be used as the base for the OdmJniPend class of the odmjni100 package.
     
• 0.03 For the 0.52beta drop, the OdmJava.bat script is changed.  This change allows the awt.dll library to be found in jre\bin when running an application that uses the new OdmJniBind.application(appId, appWindow) method in the odmjni100 package.  This update is simply for consistency of all copies of OdmJava.bat employed in ODMJNI 1.0 development.

The cumulative changes in the current 0.30alpha practical100 package are completely backward compatible and can be used with any ODMJNI 1.0 release from 0.25alpha to 0.54beta. 

Revision History:
 

0.12 2007-08-19-14:19 Complete Repaving

The modifications necessary for proper repaving if the material are performed.  The obsolescence of this package is emphasized.

0.11 2007-03-04-19:23 Indicate obsolescence by the 0.56beta update.

0.10 2007-02-22-15:33 Provide Complete Final Package

The archive is updated with all current material for this release, along with the license, Pre-Release Notes, and manifest.

0.09 2007-02-21-17:22 Provide History of Changes up through 0.54beta

The 0.30alpha package has been essentially unchanged since the first distribution as part of the 0.25alpha regression check.  The changes through 0.54beta were minor and have no impact on the usability.  The latest 0.30alpha version can be substituted for the first with no observable differences in any of the deployments from 0.25alpha to 0.54beta.

0.08 2006-12-20-11:58 Preserve the 0.25 alpha-level Zip Archive

The practical100 interface and components are at the level thought sufficient for 0.30alpha release, but the documentation and release notes are not current.  The 0.00 version of the archive linked here is for preservation.  It is the version that will be used in the 0.25alpha end-to-end regression release.

0.07 2006-12-11-19:25 Add Pre-Release Notes

The initial-draft pre-release notes are distributed in a text file.  The file is available from download from this page.

0.06 2006-12-10-10:58 Branch for 0.30alpha Evolutionary Updating

Page d061001f is established as the branch for tracking the progression of the info.odma.practical100 package to interception with the overall 0.30alpha release.

0.05 2006-12-09-18:51 Placeholder Status Established

There is enough here to serve as a cross-reference with the ODMJNI 1.0 0.20alpha distribution.  The archiving is not complete, but the material is part of the 0.20 alpha package.

0.04 2006-12-01-18:58 Branch for 0.20alpha Incremental Update

The code is rearranged and the build process is simplified.  This is just for regression to ensure that everything builds and runs properly.

0.03 2006-10-25-20:51 Clean-Up Text

The text is adjusted to be more readable, with correction for typos and an incorrect link.  Remove the Harvard-style identification from the attribution.

0.02 2006-10-24-01:03 Provide 0.05alpha Implementation

The archive and manifest are linked from this page, and a brief summary is added along with notes about the principle changes.

0.01 2006-10-20-13:21 Branch for 0.05alpha Refactor and Initial Null Implementation

Capture changes made as 0.05alpha is developed and tested.

0.00 2006-10-19-20:40 Provide Placeholder for Already-Created 0.01alpha Package

This page is put up as a placeholder so that the 0.01alpha package has a home as the first step in evolutionary prototyping.
