Important Notes on Upgrading Projects From 1.4 M1 or Prior Versions

New Features:

Usability improvements in Format Editor and X12/HL7 Variant Editors

The Format Editor and X12 and HL7 Variant Editors have been improved to add copy/cut/paste, drag and drop, etc functionality.

New Admin Console Plugin Framework

The Professional Edition Admin Console now includes a plugin framework that allows users to extend the functionality of the Admin Console.

Multiple Request Support in JDBC Component

The JDBC component now supports multiple requests in one Message Exchange.

JDBC and FTP Components return Fault on Error

The JDBC and FTP Components now return a Fault in the Message Exchange if an error occurs rather than an Out message containing the error status. For backwards compatibility, a property can be set to return the error in an Out message.

Improved UPOC and Script Functionality

• The UPOC framework and Script component have been improved to allow users to pass custom parameters. These parameters are set as key-value pairs in the Component Flow Editor where the UPOC or Script is called.

UPOC Dialog with parameters

• The UPOC framework has also been improved to allow multiple UPOC classes to be called within the same context. By doing this, users can "stack" UPOCs so the output from one becomes the input to the next one.

CCSL Wizard with multiple UPOCs

• The UPOC configuration has also been cleaned up to be more user friendly by renaming the contexts to "Request" and "Reply".
• All custom code now includes a name and descrition property that is displayed in the IDE. This allows the IDE to display a user friendly name and helpful information to the user when selecting a custom class.

New Fault Handler Custom Component

A new custom component has been added that can be placed in a flow to detect Fault messages. When a fault is detected, this component will send a new message exchange to the specified endpoint to handle the error.

Fault Handler Component

Map Enhancements

The Map Editor and runtime have many new enhancements to improve the functionality and flexibility.

• Namespaces are now exposed to allow the user to define what namespace declarations and prefixes should be used in the resulting messages.
• XPath support has been added to allow a user to fetch a value from a source node by specifying an XPath expression. XPath can also be used to filter the nodes processed during an iterate.
• User Map Operations now have access to the underlying DOM nodes of both the source and target messages. This allows for greater flexiblity and more powerful custom operations to be performed.
• New prepackaged User Map Operation - SetXsiType. This is an example map operation that will set an xsi:type attribute in a target element. This makes use of the new exposure of the DOM API.
• New prepackaged User Map Operation - CopyDomSubtree. This is another example map operation that copies an entire DOM sub-tree from the source message to the target message in a single operation. This also makes use of the new exposure of the DOM API.

Component Flow Editor Enhancments

• The Component Flow Editor has been enhanced to allow multiple component flow diagrams to be created within a single project. This allows users to break up a complicated Service Assembly into smaller, more managable sub-flows. Connections can be made between different component flow diagram files and the project is still deployed as a single service assembly.
• A new connector has been added which allows message exchanges to be sent to endpoints defined in a different component flow file within the same project, or to an endpoint in a different Service Assembly Project.

Upgrade to Apache Servicemix v3.2.2

Server-only installer now supports multiple Unix platforms including Linux, AIX, HP-UX and Solaris. It has been tested on Linux, Solaris and AIX.

• Chainbuilder ESB runtimes have been ported and tested on IBM's JDK 1.5 on Windows, Linux and AIX in addition to Sun's JDK 1.5 and 1.6.
• The Admin Console web application has been ported to IBM Websphere Application Server.

ChainBuilder ESB 2.0 can now run at same time with ChainBuilder ESB 1.x on the same machine.

Database import and export tools to allow users to export all data in the runtime database from earlier version into a file and import the file into the runtime database for later version.
