JHeadstart 10.1.2.2 Release (a very short while ago)

As of now, JHeadstart 10.1.2.2 is available from http://cso.oracle.com
– for organisations who have the JHeadstart Supplement Option. I have
recently been making fixes and extensions to JHeadstart Application
Generator and it seems I am being somewhat overtaken by this patch
release. The list of fixes, changes and new features looks like this:

What’s New in JHeadstart 10.1.2.2

• New service-level property “Use Group Name as Role Name (UIX Only)”: If you want to
  secure all groups in your service, you can use this property to use the group name as the role name
  that is used to check user access. This saves you the burden of entering a value for the
  “Authorized Roles/Functions” property for each and every group.
• New service-level property “Role/Function Prefix (UIX Only)”: This property
  is handy if you have multiple application structure files, that might contain the same group
  names and you have set the new “Use Group Name as Role Name” property to true. By using
  this property, you can ensure uniqueness of the generated authorization expressions accross
  all groups in your application.
• Support for substitution variables in service-level Read Only expression: You can
  use GROUP_NAME and PARENT_GROUP_NAME as substitution variables in the service level
  Read Only expression which allows you to generate group-specific readOnly expressions into
  your pages.
• Support for substitution variables in attribute-level Read Only expressions: You can
  use GROUP_NAME and PARENT_GROUP_NAME as substitution variables in the attribute level
  “Read Only In Form” and “Read Only in Table” expressions. This is useful when a ViewObject
  attribute is used in multiple groups, and the authorization rules are different per group
• New group-level property “Read OnlyExpression (UIX only)”: If the service-level
  Read Only expression would be too generic for a specific group, you can specify a
  group-level Read Only expression. When you do
  this, the service-level Read Only expression is ignored for this group.
• New custom attribute property “Required”: You can now specify the “Required” property
  for a ViewObject attribute that takes precedence over the standard Entity Object Attribute
  “Mandatory”.
• New service-level property “Data Action Mapping Class”: You can now specify the
  data action mapping class that must be generated for each struts action in the service.
• Hint Text displayed in popup (JSP only): There is a new service level property that
  allows you to display attribute hint text as a little popup (“balloon help”) instead of below
  the item. This feature uses the title property of the Struts HTML input tags and is not available
  when using UIX.
