OpenXava 4.6: Rapid Java Web Development

Nov. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- OpenXava is an open source framework for rapid development of business applications using Java. It is easy to learn and one can have an application up in no time. At the same time, OpenXava is extensible, customizable and the application code is structured in a very pure object oriented way, allowing you to develop arbitrarily complex applications.

The OpenXava approach for rapid development differs from those that use visual environments (like Visual Basic or Delphi) or scripting (like PHP). Instead, OpenXava uses a model-driven development approach, where the core of your application are Java classes that model your problem. This means you can stay productive while still maintaining a high level of encapsulation.

OpenXava 4.6 has some new interesting features such as:
Custom reports generation from list.
It’s possible to customize the list mode defining your own editor.
You can assign a model object (an entity or a transient object) directly to a View to populate it.
In the jUnit tests you can assert the content of generated PDFs
New @RowAction annotation for collections.
Labels and messages available in Russian.
The file name for generated reports includes model name and time.  

And many other useful new features and bug fixes.
