HTTP pseudo-session
The Web session (or http session) used to save the context of a Web application between a client and the application server can, in certain cases, be shared between multiple clients. This shared utilization can sometimes cause edge effects and abnormal behavior.
For example, all the tabs in an instance of the IE7, IE8 and Firefox browsers share the same Web session. Similarly, all instances of the IE8 browser or the Firefox browser share the same Web session by default.
To counter this problem, a "protected mode" has been introduced so that each browser instance+tab pair can use a dedicated Web pseudo-session. ↑ Top of page
Filter in Visual Adelia graphical lists
The user can filter the rows in a graphical list based on the values in one or more columns. These filters can be managed either manually or totally automatically.
Other improvements to Visual Adelia graphical lists
- The EXPORT_LIST method has been added, which exports the content of the graphical list to either a delimited ASCII file (text or ".csv" file) or a formatted Excel file.
- The VISIBLE_LINE property was added, to enable the user to configure a row as being either visible or hidden.
Other improvements to Visual Adelia graphical objects (Pie, Line Chart and Histogram)
- The DEFINE_DATA_COLORS method(Methods of the PIE object, Methods of the LINE CHART object, Methods of the HISTOGRAM object) has been added, to enable the user to set the color of each slice in a pie chart or each series of dots in a line chart or bars in a histogram.
- The PRINT_GRAPHIC method(Methods of the PIE object, Methods of the LINE CHART object, Methods of the HISTOGRAM object) has been added, to enable the user to print a pie chart, line chart or histogram.
Visual/Web language
- The TERMINATE <window name> instruction can now be used in a procedure.
- The *CONTINUE parameter has been added to the VERIFY instruction, to make the instruction non-inhibiting in the event of an error. As a result, it is suitable for use in all blocks.
- The VaToolBxGetLocalIP function in Vatoolbx can be used to retrieve a computer's IP address.
- The VaToolBxGetHostByIP function in Vatoolbx can be used to retrieve a computer's name based on its IP address.
"Update" mode with data copy operations
- In the data copy tool, the new "Update" mode instructs Adelia to add or update the records in the PC-based SQL table based on the table's primary key.
- An \UPDATE escape sequence has been added to the database manager, in order to add or update the records in the PC-based SQL table based on the table's primary key.
Other improvements
- Adelia Web:
- Improved the performance of Adelia Javascript Runtime and optimized the HTTP flow for programs using a list or a table list (optimized if programs are regenerated with the PTF).
- The parameters used when inputting the URL of a JSP page generated with Adelia Studio are no longer case sensitive.
- Visual/Web Debugger: The Attachment to process dialog box now displays either the processes from the current Windows user only (default option), or all the processes on the machine.
