RESTX 1.1.0

Today we are very happy to announce release RESTX 1.1.0.

Bugs

• Fixed injection of interface dependencies with Kotlin Sets.
  Note: In Java, it was already possible to have an interface Set injected, but this was not the case in Kotlin.
• JVM metrics were no longer displayed on the RESTX UI since 1.0.0.
• Added an Optional.isPresent() in the cache invalidation in RestxSession, which could sometimes lead to the error “Optional.get() cannot be called on an absent value”.

Improvements

• Added a RestxRequest.getHeaders() method on the RestxRequest interface.
• Added the ability to create “Criteria” objects to avoid too many QueryParams on a resource (thanks Frédéric and Nicolas).
  • Example: If you have 10 query params on a resource, you can group them together in a single object and RESTX will manage to put all the query params in the object.
• Added RestxSession.invalidatePrincipal() and RestxSession.invalidate() methods to facilitate cache invalidation on RESTX in the RestxSession.
• Add public keyword in RestxSession on some methods to avoid overloading RestxSession (and thus avoiding the package-private issue).

Dependencies

• Servlet 5.0 updated to 6.0.
• Jetty 11 updated to 12.
• Tomcat 10.0 updated to 10.1.
• Hibernate, Logback, SLF4J-API, SnakeYAML, Metrics Dropwizard dependencies updated.
• RESTX UI updated to the latest version of AngularJS.
