Bean import filters

New features

• When importing a bean to the template model, you can define that some of the bean properties should be excluded from the model
  • The same annotations are also supported on list setters, where they will apply to each item in the imported list.

public interface MyModel extends TemplateModel {
  @Exclude("id", "password") // includes all other properties
  public void setUser(User user);

  @Include("firstName", "lastName") // excludes all other properties
  public void setPerson(Person person)
}

• View instance creation is pluggable to enable integration with e.g. Spring or CDI
• Client side exception messages are shown as a floating overlay in the browser when production mode is not active
• @Id can now be used in template classes to inject Element instances. Previously only component instances could be injected.

Fixes

• Eliminated memory leak caused by redeploying Hummingbird
• The $server variable is now properly populated inside *ngFor
• @HtmlImport dependencies are now always loaded before @JavaScript
• Atmosphere dependency updated to be compatible with Jetty 9.3
• Fixed browser version check so that the embedded browser in Eclipse on OS X is no longer considered outdated
• Renamed Element methods for increased clarity:
  • getOwnTextContent renamed to getText
  • setTextContent renamed to setText
  • getTextContent renamed to getTextRecursively

Demos

• Address book demo updated to only import some parts of the bean and to support editing and saving through the form Java HTML

Tutorials

• Adding Components to a Template updated to mention @Id injection for elements
