April 4, 2008

We are pleased to announce the 0.8.3 release of the Topaz platform. Some significant amount of work has gone into this release and feedback would be much appreciated. Besides the usual bunch of bug fixes, there are some significant changes that have gone in:

  • Support for JTA
    • You can use Topaz within an external JTA compliant transaction manager
    • Topaz uses JTA to communicate with the underlying stores
  • Structural revamp of OTM

OTM package has been revamped (more needs to be done) to be able to do non-POJO bindings.

  • Lazy loading for collection of associations

Please see #627

  • Infrastructure work for content models

Still more work needs to be done here to provide support for OWL/RDFS.

  • Use of RMI instead of SOAP to communicate with Mulgara
  • Support for read-only transactions

Should lead to better performance as it will allow concurrent transactions on Mulgara

  • Support for Mulgara 1.2
