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
So now users and roles are in their own files. This makes it far easier
to add new privileges without needing to take care if the user changed
their data.
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.
- execption handling is done in the ComponentContainerStateHandler
- clients now not need to worry about exceptions which would make them
rethrow anyhow as a runtime exception
Now a SystemUserAction is defined as follows:
<Privilege name="ch.eitchnet.privilege.handler.SystemUserAction"
policy="DefaultPrivilege">
<Allow>li.strolch.agent.impl.StartRealms</Allow>
</Privilege>
- So sadly just auto closing a TX using try-resource from Java7 is a bad idea.
- Doing that leads to problems when an exception is thrown, then the close is called (duh) but this leads to commit being called.
- Since the Java language does not offer a decent way to detect if the close is being called in the context of an exception i was forced to add a tx.commitOnClose() and tx.rollbackOnClose().
- The default is that when a TX is opened, then the close strategy is rollback; the API user must call tx.commitOnClose() before the TX is closed by the braces, or as late as possible, to make sure that if an exception is thrown the transaction is rolled back, and not committed.
- The API was also extended with a tx.fail(msg):StrolchTransactionException so that if the implementor detects an unrecoverable error, one can write: throw tx.fail(“my reason”);
This was sadly an unavoidable late 1.0.0 change

Now PostgreSQL implementation can import a configured dataStore if the persistence handler configuration property ‘allowDataInitOnSchemaCreate’. For this to work, the schema must have a migration status of CREATED, or DROPPED_CREATED on startup, or using the new method PersistenceHandler.performDbInitialization()-method. Further the properties ‘allowSchemaDrop’ and ‘allowSchemaCreate’ must be enabled.
