- <p>
- <b>Vaadin</b> is a Java framework for building modern web
- applications that look great, perform well and make you and your
- users happy. <b>Vaadin</b> is available under the Apache 2 license
- (see license.html).
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Vaadin</b> is distributed as a single JAR file. Inside the JAR you
- will find:
- <ul>
- <li>Vaadin server and client side classes (/com)</li>
- <li>Vaadin server and client side sources (/com)</li>
- <li>The default widget set (/VAADIN/widgetsets)</li>
- <li>Themes: Runo, Reindeer and Chameleon (/VAADIN/themes)</li>
- <li>Release notes (/release-notes.html)</li>
- <li>Licensing information (/license.html)</li>
- </ul>
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="security-fixes">Security fixes in Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
- <p>Vaadin 6.7.0 and later incorporates fixes for the following security issues:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/7669">#7669</a> CSRF/XSS vulnerability through separator injection</li>
- <li><a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/7670">#7670</a> Directory traversal vulnerability</li>
- <li><a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/7671">#7671</a> Contributory XSS: Possibility to inject HTML/JavaScript in system error messages</li>
- <li><a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/7672">#7672</a> Contributory XSS: possibility for injection in certain components</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- These issues were discovered by Wouter Coekaerts (<a href="http://wouter.coekaerts.be/">http://wouter.coekaerts.be/</a>) and an internal review.
- Immediate upgrade to a version containing the fixes (6.6.7 or later or 6.7.0 or later) is strongly recommended for all users.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The most serious of these issues is the directory traversal attack that can allow read access to the class files of an application as well as some configuration information.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- If unable to immediately upgrade Vaadin to a version containing the fixes, the directory traversal vulnerability can be mitigated by not mapping the context path
- "/VAADIN" to a Vaadin servlet in web.xml but instead deploying such static resources (themes and widgetsets) directly on the server and serving them as files.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The other vulnerabilities typically require user actions (pasting text crafted by the attacker into the application or following a link crafted by the attacker)
- for a successful attack, but may be exploitable more directly in certain applications. They can allow the attacker to control the user session for the application
- in the browser.
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="enhancements">Enhancements in Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
- <p>
- <b>SQLContainer</b>
- </p>
- <p>SQLContainer connects your application to an SQL database using
- JDBC. SQLContainer allows you to easily bind data stored in a SQL
- database to Table and Select components, as well as edit the data
- using Forms. Compared to many object-relational tools this provides
- you with fast, low-level database access.</p>
- <p>SQLContainer was previously distributed as an add-on and has
- now been integrated into the framework.</p>
- <p>
- <b>TreeTable</b>
- </p>
- <p>TreeTable is an extended Table component that can show
- hierarchical structures in its first column. Users can show or hide
- children from a small icon before the actual column value in the
- first column.</p>
- <p>TreeTable is, similarly to Table, designed to scale well with
- large number of rows by only sending the needed rows to the browser.
- With the Collapsible Container extension, a developer can build the
- data provider so that it does not consume too much memory on the
- server side either.</p>
- <p>
- <b>Chameleon Theme</b>
- </p>
- <p>Chameleon Theme provides a completely new look and feel for
- your application.</p>
- <p>
- The theme is built on top of the Vaadin Base theme and tries to keep
- out of the way where appropriate, so small modifications are easy to
- do with CSS.
- <p>
- The theme contains several different useful styles for many of the
- basic components like <i>big</i> and <i>warning</i> for a Label. You
- can even combine many styles together, like <i>big warning</i>
- </p>
- If the default color scheme does not suit your taste, feel free to
- use the online color scheme editor at <a
- href="http://demo.vaadin.com/">http://demo.vaadin.com</a> to build a
- customized theme.You can also change the base font size for the whole
- theme with the same editor.
- <p>
- <i>Note that the theme is intentionally simplified for some
- browsers, most notably old Internet Explorer versions.</i>
- </p>
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Notification</b> now supports a plain text mode for its contents
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>OptionGroup</b> now supports a HTML mode for the item captions
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>OptionGroup</b> now supports item icons
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>MenuBar</b> now supports a HTML mode for the item captions
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>ComboBox</b> now supports scrolling using the mouse wheel
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Table ColumnGenerator</b> can now generate plain text in addition
- to Components
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>TabSheet</b> tabs can be styled individually
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Button</b> can be automatically disabled when clicked
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tree, Table</b> and <b>TreeTable</b> support tooltips for
- individual items or cells
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Table</b> and <b>TreeTable</b> now support GeneratedRows that can
- be used for grouping or summary rows
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>TreeTable</b> supports animation for expand and collapse
- operations
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>TreeTable</b> supports expand and collapse listeners
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>PopupDateField</b> and <b>InlineDateField</b> now support time
- zones
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>ComboBox</b> can now be used as a replacement for NativeSelect
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Audio</b> and <b>Video</b> components implement support for HTML5 <audio> and <video> elements.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>CDI</b> can now also be used with @SessionScoped beans.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Sampler</b> is no longer distributed as part of Vaadin @version@.
- It will be available as a separate download
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Book of Vaadin</b> is no longer distributed with Vaadin @version@.

+
+ <p>
+ @version-minor@ is the first development release of the upcoming Version 7 of the
+ Vaadin Framework. It introduces the first set of new features in Vaadin 7, for the
+ purpose of receiving feedback regarding the changes.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>The major changes in this first phase are:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Redesign of the window and application APIs</li>
+ <li>Redesign of forms and data binding</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ The enchancements are described in more detail in the <a
+ href="https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Vaadin+7">mini-tutorials</a> in the
+ Vaadin Wiki.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>ChangeLog</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ For a complete list of changes in this release, please see the <a
+ href="http://dev.vaadin.com/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=Vaadin+7.0.0.alpha1">list
+ of closed tickets</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2 id="migrating">Migrating from Vaadin 6</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ All Vaadin 6 applications need some changes when migrating to Vaadin 7. The most
+ obvious changes are in the application/window API and require extending either
+ <b>Root</b> or <b>Root.LegacyWindow</b> instead of <b>Application</b>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ A detailed list of migration changes are given in the <a
+ href="http://dev.vaadin.com/wiki/Vaadin7/MigrationGuide">Vaadin 7 Migration
+ Guide</p>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2 id="dependencies">Vaadin @version@ dependencies</h2>
+
+ <h3>Google Web Toolkit (GWT)</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ Vaadin uses GWT @gwt-version@ for widget set compilation. GWT can be downloaded
+ from <a
+ href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/">http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/</a>.
+ GWT can also be automatically downloaded by the Vaadin Plug-in for Eclipse. Please
+ note that GWT @gwt-version@ requires the <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar</i> and
+ <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar</i> files in addition to <i>gwt-dev.jar</i>
+ and <i>gwt-user.jar</i> for widget set compilation.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Bean Validation</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ If you want to use the bean validation feature in Vaadin 7, you need a Bean
+ Validation API implementation. You need to install the JAR in the
+ <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt> directory.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2 id="upgrading">Upgrading to Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
+
+ <h3>Upgrading Eclipse Plugin</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ This release requires that you use the <i>experimental</i> Vaadin Plugin for
+ Eclipse. Its update site is
+ <tt>http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental</tt>. Please see the <a
+ href="http://vaadin.com/eclipse">installation instructions</a> for more details.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>General Upgrading Instructions</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ When upgrading from an earlier Vaadin version, you must:
+ </p>
- <p>

- The <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/query?status=closed&type=defect&milestone=Vaadin%20@version@">full
- details of the defects</a> can be found at dev.vaadin.com.
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="backwardsincompatibilities">Backwards incompatible
- changes in Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
- <p>Table.ColumnGenerator.generateCell has been changed to return
- Object instead of Component to enable generation of plain text.</p>
- <p>Package names for SQLContainer, TreeTable and Chameleon Theme
- java files have been changed from com.vaadin.addons.* to com.vaadin.*</p>
- </p>
- <p>If you have been using SQLContainer, TreeTable or Chameleon
- Theme as add-ons, remove the add-on jars from the project.</p>
- <p>The DOM structure of Forms without descriptions has changed, which means
- that any TestBench scripts testing this kind of Form need to be updated.
- If your tests start failing, subtract one from the index in the test script,
- e.g. change
- <pre class="codeblock">VForm[0]/domChild[0]/domChild[3]</pre>
- into
- <pre class="codeblock">VForm[0]/domChild[0]/domChild[2]</pre>
- and your tests will pass again.</p>
-
- <h2 id="dependencies">Vaadin @version@ dependencies</h2>
- Vaadin uses GWT @gwt-version@ for widget set compilation. GWT can be
- downloaded from <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/">http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/</a>.
- GWT can also be automatically downloaded by the Vaadin Plug-in for
- Eclipse. Please note that GWT @gwt-version@ requires the <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar</i>
- and <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar</i> files in addition to <i>gwt-dev.jar</i>
- and <i>gwt-user.jar</i> for widget set compilation.
-
- <h2 id="upgrading">Upgrading to Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
- <p>
- When upgrading from an earlier Vaadin version, you must
- <ul>
- <li>Recompile your classes using the new Vaadin JAR. Binary
- compatibility is only guaranteed for maintenance releases of
- Vaadin.</li>
- <li>Recompile any add-ons you have created using the new Vaadin
- JAR.</li>
- <li>Recompile your widget set using the new Vaadin JAR and the
- newly compiled add-ons.</li>
- <li>If you have extracted a theme from the Vaadin JAR, you need
- to update it with the theme provided in the new Vaadin JAR.</li>
- </ul>
- </p>
- <p>Remember also to refresh the project in your IDE to ensure that
- the new version of everything is in use.</p>
- <p>Using the "?debug" URL parameter you can verify that the
- version of the servlet (JAR), the theme and the widgetset all match.</p>
- <p>
- <b>Eclipse</b> users should always check if there is a new version of
- the Eclipse Plug-in available. The Eclipse Plug-in can be used to
- update the Vaadin version in the project (Project properties »
- Vaadin).
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>Maven</b> users should update the Vaadin dependency version in the
- <tt>pom.xml</tt>
- unless it is defined as
- <tt>LATEST</tt>
- . You must also ensure that the GWT dependency uses the correct
- version and recompile your project and your widget set.
-
- </p>
-
- <b>Liferay and other portal</b> users must install the new
- vaadin-@version@.jar as
- <t>ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/vaadin.jar</b> in the portal. Additionally the
- contents of the <tt>VAADIN</tt> folder from the JAR must be extracted
- to the <tt>ROOT/html/VAADIN</tt> directory in the Liferay
- installation. If your portal uses custom widgets, install the latest
- version of <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/vaadin-control-panel-for-liferay">Vaadin
- Control Panel for Liferay</a> for easy widget set compilation.
-
- <h3>Upgrading from Vaadin 6.5 or earlier</h3>
- If you are upgrading from 6.5.x or earlier, notice that Vaadin
- @version@ uses GWT @gwt-version@. Upgrade your dependencies as
- necessary. See <a href="#dependencies">the dependencies</a> section
- for more information.
- </p>
-
- <h3 id="widgetupgrade">Upgrading from Vaadin 6.1 or earlier</h3>
-
- <p>
- The way widget sets are created was completely changed in Vaadin 6.2.
- Existing projects, where custom widgets (a custom widget set) are
- used, must be migrated when upgrading to Vaadin 6.2 or later.
- Projects where the default widget set is used do not need migration.
- See <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/download/release/6.2/6.2.0/release-notes.html">Vaadin
- 6.2.0 release notes</a> for more details.
- </p>

-
-
-
-
- <h3 id="knownissues">Known problems and limitations in Vaadin
- @version@</h3>
-
- <ul>
- <li><p id="zipissue">
- <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/1155">#1155</a>:
- Uncompressing the installation package fails in Windows if using
- the default Zip uncompression. Uncompression gives (in Windows
- Vista) an error message about too long filenames, and a more
- obscure message in other versions of Windows. Workaround: use <a
- href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a> or some other good unzip
- program for Windows.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h4 id="gae">Notes and Limitations for Google App Engine</h4>
-
- <p>The following instructions and limitations apply when you run a
- Vaadin application under the Google App Engine.</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><p>
- Applications must use <b>GAEApplicationServlet</b> instead of <b>ApplicationServlet</b>
- in
- <tt>web.xml</tt>
- .
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>
- Session support must be enabled in
- <tt>appengine-web.xml</tt>
- :
- </p> <pre> <sessions-enabled>true</sessions-enabled></pre>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>Avoid using the session for storage, usual App Engine
- limitations apply (no synchronization, i.e, unreliable).</p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>
- Vaadin uses memcache for mutex, the key is of the form
- <tt>_vmutex<sessionid></tt>
- .
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>
- The Vaadin <b>WebApplicationContext</b> class is serialized
- separately into memcache and datastore; the memcache key is
- <tt>_vac<sessionid></tt>
- and the datastore entity kind is
- <tt>_vac</tt>
- with identifiers of the type
- <tt>_vac<sessionid></tt>
- .
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>
- DO NOT update application state when serving an <b>ApplicationResource</b>
- (e.g <b>ClassResource</b>.<i>getStream()</i>).
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>
- AVOID (or be very careful when) updating application state in a <b>TransactionListener</b>
- or a <b>HttpServletRequestListener</b> - they are called even when
- the application is not locked and won't be serialized (e.g <b>ApplicationResource</b>),
- and changes can thus go missing (it should be safe to update things
- that can be safely discarded later - i.e valid only for the current
- request)
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li><p>The application remains locked during uploads - a
- progress bar is not possible</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
-
- <p>
- For other known problems, see open tickets at developer site <a
- href="http://dev.vaadin.com/">dev.vaadin.com</a>.

+ <li>Recompile your classes using the new Vaadin JAR. Binary
+ compatibility is only guaranteed for maintenance releases of
+ Vaadin.</li>
+
+ <li>Recompile any add-ons you have created using the new Vaadin
+ JAR.</li>
+
+ <li>Recompile your widget set using the new Vaadin JAR and the newly compiled
+ add-ons.</li>
+
+ <li>If you have extracted a theme from the Vaadin JAR, you need to update it with
+ the theme provided in the new Vaadin JAR.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ Remember also to refresh the project in your IDE to ensure that the new version of
+ everything is in use.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Using the "?debug" URL parameter you can verify that the version of the servlet
+ (JAR), the theme and the widgetset all match.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Eclipse</b> users should always check if there is a new version of
+ the Eclipse Plug-in available. The Eclipse Plug-in can be used to
+ update the Vaadin version in the project (Project properties »
+ Vaadin).
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Maven</b> users should update the Vaadin dependency version in the
+ <tt>pom.xml</tt> unless it is defined as <tt>LATEST</tt> . You must also ensure
+ that the GWT dependency uses the correct version and recompile your project and
+ your widget set.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Liferay and other portal</b> users must install the new vaadin-@version@.jar as
+ <t>ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/vaadin.jar</b> in the portal. Additionally the contents of the
+ <tt>VAADIN</tt> folder from the JAR must be extracted to the
+ <tt>ROOT/html/VAADIN</tt> directory in the Liferay installation. If your portal
+ uses custom widgets, install the latest version of <a
+ href="http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/vaadin-control-panel-for-liferay">Vaadin
+ Control Panel for Liferay</a> for easy widget set compilation.

+
+ <h2 id="gae">Notes and Limitations for Google App Engine</h4>
+
+ <p>The following instructions and limitations apply when you run a Vaadin
+ application under the Google App Engine.</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Applications must use <b>GAEApplicationServlet</b> instead of
+ <b>ApplicationServlet</b> in <tt>web.xml</tt>.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Session support must be enabled in
+ <tt>appengine-web.xml</tt>:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre> <sessions-enabled>true</sessions-enabled></pre>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Avoid using the session for storage, usual App Engine limitations apply (no
+ synchronization, i.e, unreliable).
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Vaadin uses memcache for mutex, the key is of the form
+ <tt>_vmutex<sessionid></tt>.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The Vaadin <b>WebApplicationContext</b> class is serialized separately into
+ memcache and datastore; the memcache key is <tt>_vac<sessionid></tt> and
+ the datastore entity kind is <tt>_vac</tt> with identifiers of the type
+ <tt>_vac<sessionid></tt>.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ DO NOT update application state when serving an <b>ApplicationResource</b>
+ (e.g <b>ClassResource</b>.<i>getStream()</i>).
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ AVOID (or be very careful when) updating application state in a
+ <b>TransactionListener</b> or a <b>HttpServletRequestListener</b> - they are
+ called even when the application is not locked and won't be serialized (e.g
+ <b>ApplicationResource</b>), and changes can thus go missing (it should be
+ safe to update things that can be safely discarded later - i.e valid only for
+ the current request)
+ </p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The application remains locked during uploads - a progress bar is not
+ possible
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
