A new update release containing important bugfixes has been released. Head over to our homepage for release notes and download links.
The major new feature of this release is support for the JavaEE 6 Web Profile, a slimmed-down version of JavaEE 6. It provides all the good stuff of JavaEE that [fleXive] already uses (managed beans, container managed transactions, connection pooling, JSF), but removes a lot of the baggage from the J2EE era. Actually the only feature we are using that is not part of the web profile is remote interfaces. To see this in action just download flexive-admin.war, get Glassfish 3 Web, and drop the WAR file into the glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy folder. It should just work, without further configuration. The default data source is defined with the new DataSourceDefinition annotation (but can of course be overridden with a custom datasource).
To use [fleXive] in a WAR project, either create the project using our Maven archetype or include the [fleXive] EJBs in your (Maven) application:
