Platform 4.1.8
Release date (February 2007)

New attributes “scrollBar” and “horizontalScrollBar” have been added to scrollPane, treeTable, tree, table, treeTable, and listBox.
Developers can now dictate the behavior of these components by using the attribute values of “always”, “never”, or “automatic”. Previously, these components were all set to “automatic” by default and could not me modified.

Developers can now set the text in the status bar of a browser.
DisplayService now has a showStatus() method to set the browser status bar text. Note that you can have an mco call this or you can invoke it directly like:

<mco:execute>mco:DisplayService.showStatus('some text')</mco:execute>

Because the API method was added and you can invoke it declaratively, a config value was not added to client.xml. The status bar is used by the Platform during printing and showStatus() will not be able to overwrite this. Also, in IE 6.0, the status bar will initially show the applet name. Developers can change this in the client.xml under client-app/launch-configuration/applet-name.

The transparent color of the border line of <rect/> can be set with the strokeWidth attribute.
The correct attribute value to make the border of a svg component transparent is strokeWidth=”0”.

712-3507195 - The update of the screen by the button group of <checkBoxMenuItem/> results in a conflict with UI DOM

Now, in the stylesheet we use "highlighted" instead of "selected" to refer to highlighted menus and menu items. "selected" was already used for checkboxes when checked which created a conflict.

Platform 4.1.6
Release date (September 2006)

New Attribute: focusSelectionPolicy
The policy determining how text is selected when a selectable text component regains focus via the tab key.  It is now available on textField, textArea, textView, passwordField, and comboBox.  Possible values:

• all - all the text will be selected.
• start - the selection will be placed at the beginning of the text.
• end - the selection will be placed at the end of the text.
• last - the selection will be placed at the cursors last position.
  

Table Sorting of Heavyweight components is improved
Four defects were resolved to facilitate using heavyweight components in tables and preserving the sorting functionality.  Heavyweight components will now sort based on their text attribute value, the default sort value for table cells. Heavyweight components do not support the sortValue attribute that cells support which allows cells to sort on a different value than the displayed text.

Special Notes

5356 - 712-1993766 Add text alignment attributes for comboBox and listBox

• comboBox changes: alignHorizontal and alignVertical were added as attributes.
• listBox changes: alignHorizontal was added to align all the listitems for the listbox.  ListItem already had its own alignHorizontal which will overide the setting of the listBox.   For example, if the listBox was set to alignHorizontal="right" and one listItem was set to alignHorizontal="center", then all the listItmes but the one with alignHorizontal="center" would be right aligned, while the one with alignHorizontal="center" specified will be center aligned.

5907 - 712-2531791 client UI freezes waiting for com.nexaweb.client.svg.Text.class in MSJVM

Sometimes using a Microsoft JVM, the client will freeze while waiting for the server to send the class com.nexaweb.client.svg.Text.  This class file is contained within the NexawebClient-OnDemand.jar file on the server.  The Server's dynamic classloader loads classes out of this jar as the client needs them.  However, in this case, the client JVM is not working correctly.  A successful workaround has been to make a NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab, and include it in the pre-loaded client classpath in the nexaweb-client.xml file.  The fix for this defect is including NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab as part of the platform distribution.

<client-classpath>
  <pre-loaded-in-applet-def>
    <archive name="NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab" cab="true"
    path="/WEB-INF/Nexaweb/client/lib/NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab"/>
 </pre-loaded-in-applet-def>
</client-classpath>

Platform 4.1.5
Release date (August 2006)

Defects Resolved

Scroll bars in tables now work as follows: if a row is selected, the table will stay scrolled to that row unless the user/developer changes the scrolling of the table, either by using the scrollbars manually or by setting the scroll position via XML. If the scroll position is changed in that way, the table will remain scrolled to the position specified until the user/developer changes the scrolling again or until a new row is selected. In addition, when a new selected row is appended to the table, the table will now scroll to that selected row instead of to just above that selected row.

5943 - 712-2561082 A push connection does not restart

In a complex network a disconnect can occur without the client becoming aware of the network failure. Re-establishing the push connection could fail. This problem was addressed.

5815 - 712-1848369 Multiple threads to make a connection are spawned on the same push connection

An environment with SSL proxies may require client verification. When the verification fails, the push connection re-establish logic could cause multiple verification dialogs to pop-up attempting to reconnect through the backup proxy. This problem was addressed.

5854 - 712-2464798 There are many network requests for CommonResources.class/properties files

CommonResources_en_US.properties is now included in the jar file. If the locale is set to US, there will be no request for CommonResources at all. For other locales, the program looks for the most specific file first. If the file is found, the program stops searching; otherwise it keeps looking for less specific files. A developer may create specific files for different locales and those files will be requested only once.

5944 - 712-2566451 Quick Edit Cell vs. Japanese IME

This problem has been corrected for Sun Java VM.  It persists for Microsoft VM for Java (with slightly different symptoms).
