IWebMvc Milestone 4 released

So a new version is up. This time the feature list is heavy on the server side. Let's review them one by one:
  • License change
    I'm not sure it's the best time to announce it...but from now on IWebMvc will be released under the Apache Software License (ASL 2). I've waited till today just because the initial versions were very preliminary and GPL just keeps things under control. Things have changed and IWebMvc has nearly reached the point where other people can probably contribute better ideas than me.
  • Groovy support
    I've talked about it recently so I'm not adding much here. It supports compiled classes and scripted (dynamic) beans. Just be careful with the IDE support. In particular with Netbeans, at least until v6.5
  • Spring Webflow 2.0 support
    So SWF published the first RC last week and IWebMvc already includes it. Nice! It's very well integrated with the rest of the framework, in particular with MVC, JPA, Security and AJAX. I pretend to blog about this feature in the near future.
  • Jasper Reports / Dynamic Jasper support
    PDF & Excel file download. Automatic grid reports in less than 20 lines of code! Really useful for statistics in the future.
  • Multi file upload
    Upload documents and images in multiples and group them in the server. Including a specific widget.
  • Image Gallery widget
    Show grouped images as a thumbnail strip or as a slideshow with one line of code!
  • Rating widget
    A new way to bind numbers using the latest dojo widget.
  • Miscellaneous
    Several bug fixes and Eclipse support were also improved. Glassfish configuration as well. Check the changelog if interested!
As always, the code along with a new screencast of the features is available at the project's download page. I've to thank you the Google code team for doubling the available space for IWebMvc!

Enjoy!

Hi,

Is there any chance of publishing sample or short tutorial on using DOJO FilteringSelect control populated using DWR inside Grid cell (cell editor)?

Thank You!
