Java EE Tools
Servlet wizard
-
Several enhancements are introduced to the Servlet
wizard. The most noticeable are:
- Initialization parameters are now displayed in a table view. The user can easily see parameter's name, value and description.
- Servlet mappings are now validated. If a user enters an invalid servlet mapping, then an error message appears and the wizard cannot be finished.
Servlet Filter wizard
-
A new wizard is introduced for generating Servlet
Filters stubs. Servlet Filters are web artifacts
described in chapter SRV.6 of the Servlet specification.
- XDoclet support
- Infopop help
- A wizard page with modifiers, interfaces and abstract method options
Several limitations are still going to be resolved in the next milestone:
Application Lifecycle Listener wizard
-
A new wizard is introduced for generating Application
Lifecycle Listener stubs. Application Lifecycle
Listeners are web artifacts described in chapter SRV.10
of the Servlet specification.
- XDoclet support
- Infopop help
- "Select exising class" option
Several limitations are still going to be resolved in the next milestone:
New context menu action group
-
There are now three wizards for creating web artifacts:
- Servlets
- Servlet Filters
- Application Lifecycle Listeners
They represents the web artifacts based on Java classes. For easier access these wizards are now available in the context menu of the Dynamic Web Project as a separate action group.
