New:
- needsCommit() -> return true if objects or commands are registered
- hasResource()
- hasOrder()
- hasActivity()
Changes:
- When tx.add(), update() or remove() is called, then get*Template(), or get*By() check the internal cache and thus e.g. a new resource is immediately available.
- the has*()-methods also check the internal cache, thus the need to get the underlying maps should now no longe be required in normal TX use.
This observer handler is enabled with the additional boolean
configuration <enableDelayedObserverUpdates> and allows for less updates
to observers as they are cached
Now execution is always performed asynchronously for each Action and an
Activity should be added to the ExecutionHandler by calling
.addForExecution(), so that it is executed later even if an action
couldn't be executed to it being reserved (for instance).
This is required because in certain instances it is important to lock
the object before retrieving it, otherwise if, for instance in
execution, we would need to fetch, lock and re-fetch to be sure we have
the latest object.
In moste of the Update*Commands this is not important as we perform a
list commit wins, where the client wants their version to be persisted.
Later a optimistic locking can be performed in that the given version
must be the latest, otherwise an exception would be thrown
Using the DurationExecution:
<Activity Id="produceBicycle" Name="Activity" Type="ToStock"
TimeOrdering="Series">
<ParameterBag Name="objectives" Id="Objectives" Type="Objectives">
<Parameter Name="Duration" Id="duration" Value="PT0.01S"
Type="Duration" />
</ParameterBag>
<Action Id="produce" Name="Produce" ResourceId="bicycle"
ResourceType="Product" Type="Produce" />
</Activity>
IActivityElement now has a new method .findParameter() to search up the
activity hierarchy to find the element
Simplified the API, removed the privileged user - now always use the
agent system user for running system actions. One method has no return
value and one has a return value. Now it is easy to perform a system
action using:
runAsAgent(ctx -> {
// do work
});
String result = runAsAgentWithResult(ctx -> {
// do work
return "done";
});
// execute a SystemAction
runAsAgent(action);
// execute a SystemActionWithResult
String result = runAsAgentWithResult(actionWithResult);

- built in User Challenge feature (currently only console)
- extended REST API to allow user to initiate a challenge and then use
the challenge to authenticate for a one time change password session
Now all root elements have a version, and if the realm has versioning
enabled, then actions through the ElementMap lead to new versions being
created. There are also methods to revert/undo changes to an object.
Some tests are still failing, this will be fixed later
- New ParameterBagContainer interface for GroupedParameterizedElement
- StrolchRootElement extends ParameterBagContainer
- StrolchRootElement is now required in Queries, not StrolchElement
- New Version object on StrolchRootElement
Now instead of instantiating StrolchAgent and calling the method
setup(), instantiate StrolchBootstrapper and call one of the setup
methods which is appropriate to your use-case.
New feature is to use a StrolchBootstrap.xml to configure the
environment, root, config and data paths. Each can be defined by
environment and overridden, etc.
- and from now on we don't use interfaces anymore. We use abstract
classes with StrolchPolicy as the super class.
- it would be lovely if Java would get rid of interfaces and abstract
classes. We only need one: abstract classes.
You can now add policies to Resources, Orders and Activities:
<Policies>
<Policy Type="PlanningPolicy" Value="key:SimplePlanningPolicy" />
<Policy Type="ExecutionPolicy"
Value="java:li.strolch.policy.execution.TestSimulatedExecutionPolicy" />
<Policy Type="ConfirmationPolicy" Value="key:NoConfirmation" />
</Policies>
And now there is a PolicyHandler to get the Policy:
<Component>
<name>PolicyHandler</name>
<api>li.strolch.policy.PolicyHandler</api>
<impl>li.strolch.policy.DefaultPolicyHandler</impl>
<Properties>
<readPolicyFile>true</readPolicyFile>
<policyConfigFile>StrolchPolicies.xml</policyConfigFile>
</Properties>
</Component>
Which has its own configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StrolchPolicies>
<PolicyType Type="PlanningPolicy"
Api="li.strolch.policytest.TestPlanningPolicy">
<Policy Key="SimplePlanningPolicy"
Class="li.strolch.policytest.TestSimplePlanningPolicy" />
</PolicyType>
<PolicyType Type="ConfirmationPolicy"
Api="li.strolch.policytest.TestConfirmationPolicy">
<Policy Key="NoConfirmation"
Class="li.strolch.policytest.TestNoConfirmationPolicy" />
</PolicyType>
</StrolchPolicies>
Some tests are still broken at this state - will fix them in the next
commit
