public void showMeJDK8() throws Exception
   {
      PrettyTime t = new PrettyTime();
      Assert.assertEquals("3 months from now", t.format(LocalDateTime.now().plusMonths(3)));
   }
}

Improvements in the NLP module (based on Natty.) Updated to version 0.13.0

Get PrettyTime 5.0.0.Final

Release notes:

You might notice we skipped a few version numbers, which we’ve done for several reasons:

• This is a major update, so we incremented from major version 2 to version 3.
• The deprecated (original) prettyfaces-jsf library, which is now several years obsolete was versioned 3.3.3, and has been confusing new users for some time. We are now resolving this issue by skipping directly to Rewrite version 3.4.0.Final.

This release includes several major new features as well as a plethora of bug-fixes, including:

• Support for JDK6 has been dropped, JDK7 is the new minimum requirement
• Improved compatibility with JDK8 for the annotation scanning
• Major performance improvements in the logging subsystem
• Major performance improvements with the URLBuilder
• Fixed some concurrency issues which occurred in high load scenarios
• Many improvements for the LocaleTransposition feature
• Support conditional parameters with JSF’s <f:param>
• Fault tolerant percent decoding for path and query parameters
• Simpler condition trees when binding query parameters using annotations, results in better faster evaluation performance
• Fixes handling of context path for applications deployed to the root context
• Improved error reporting. Exception stack traces now display the rule that errored and the location where that rule was defined (including file and line number)
• Strict RuleBuilder ordering and structure enforcement

Thank you for continuing to support us, provide valuable feedback, and use our technologies.

Highlights

Security Notice

Get Rewrite

Rewrite 2.0.9.Final

rewrite-config-proxy

To use this configuration extension, you will need to add it to your POM file:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.ocpsoft.rewrite</groupId>
   <artifactId>rewrite-config-proxy</artifactId>
   <version>2.0.9.Final</version>
</dependency>

.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound())
.perform(Proxy.to("http://example.com"))

And of course, it supports parameterization:

.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound().and(Path.matches("/{p}")))
.perform(Proxy.to("http://example.com/{p}?foo=bar"))

response.isCommitted()

.addRule()
.when(Response.isCommitted().and(Direction.isInbound()))
.perform(Lifecycle.abort())

More issues resolved in Rewrite 2.0.9.Final:

• Need a method of proxying HTTP requests via Rewrite configuration.
• IllegalStateException thrown after redirect from 3rd party filter that calls chain.doFilter().
• Rewritten URLs don’t contain jsessionid any more if cookies are disabled
• Removed 3rd party repositories from POM
• Missing wildcard type arguments cause failure when locating cdi beans
• Allow navigation before RESTORE_VIEW

PrettyTime 3.2.3.Final

• Fixes and tests for Italian language translation
• “Yesterday” not parsed correctly

Get Rewrite

Get PrettyTime

public void exampleUnitConfiguration() {
    JustNow unit = t.getUnit(JustNow.class);
    unit.setMaxQuantity(1);
    // This means that "just now" will only be used to represent one millisecond difference between the target time and reference time. (the default is 5 minutes.)
}

Improvements in the NLP module (based on Natty.) include more resilient parsing of date offsets such as “the day before yesterday,” which previously resulted in a date that actually represented “yesterday.”

Get PrettyTime 3.2.1.Final and PrettyTime NLP 3.2.1.Final.

Bug Fixes

If you experienced problems with rule parameterization in Rewrite 2.0.7.Final, then sorry about that, and this release of [[Rewrite]] is for you: https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/133

Erroneous failures such as the following exception should be fixed by this release:

org.ocpsoft.rewrite.exception.ParameterizationException: The value of required parameter [s] was null.
	at org.ocpsoft.rewrite.param.RegexParameterizedPatternBuilder.extractBoundValues(RegexParameterizedPatternBuilder.java:262)
	at org.ocpsoft.rewrite.param.RegexParameterizedPatternBuilder.build(RegexParameterizedPatternBuilder.java:136)
	at org.ocpsoft.rewrite.servlet.config.Forward.performHttp(Forward.java:85)
	at org.ocpsoft.rewrite.servlet.config.HttpOperation.perform(HttpOperation.java:42)
	at org.ocpsoft.rewrite.servlet.config.rule.Join.perform(Join.java:264)

New Features

• Rewrite will now display version information at application boot time: https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/129

  02:37:34,570 INFO  [org.ocpsoft.rewrite.servlet.RewriteFilter] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 68) Rewrite 2.0.8.Final initialized.

• Compilation mode may now be set on JRuby based Transform modules: https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/131

We are glad to announce the latest version of [[Rewrite]], servlet toolkit and URL-rewriting extensions. This release includes serveral bug fixes and enhancements:

Simplified Configuration

We heard you! It is now much easier to register ConfigurationProvider objects. You can forget about creating a service file, and simply use the convenient @RewriteConfiguration annotation:

import org.ocpsoft.logging.Logger.Level;
import org.ocpsoft.rewrite.annotation.RewriteConfiguration;
import org.ocpsoft.rewrite.config.Configuration;
import org.ocpsoft.rewrite.config.ConfigurationBuilder;
import org.ocpsoft.rewrite.config.Log;
import org.ocpsoft.rewrite.servlet.config.HttpConfigurationProvider;

@RewriteConfiguration
public class ApplicationConfigurationProvider extends HttpConfigurationProvider
{
   @Override
   public Configuration getConfiguration(ServletContext context)
   {
      return ConfigurationBuilder.begin()
         .addRule()
         .perform(Log.message(Log.message(Level.INFO, "Rewrite is active.")))
      ;
   }

   @Override
   public int priority()
   {
      return 0;
   }
}

Issues resolved

• https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/123 – Rewrite should have a @RewriteConfiguration annotation for simpler configuration provider registration
• https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/128 – NullPointerException in ResponseContentInterceptor when no output written to ServletResponse
• https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/pull/124 – Extended AddressBuilder to support custom Schemes.
• https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/issues/122 – Bookstore app only works on AS7
• https://github.com/ocpsoft/rewrite/pull/120 – Added check if binding supports retrieval in the method ‘performRetrieval’

Upgrade to 2.0.7.Final

Read the installation guide, or configuration manual.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.ocpsoft.rewrite</groupId>
   <artifactId>rewrite-servlet</artifactId>
   <version>2.0.7.Final</version>
</dependency>

We are pleased to announce the release of Rewrite 2.0.5.Final, which includes several bug fixes and enhancements.

Rewrite is an OpenSource, Filter-based Servlets extension for Java – enabling creation of bookmark-able, pretty URLs. Rewrite solves the “RESTful URL” problem elegantly, including features such as: page-load actions, managed parameter parsing, seamless integration with CDI, Spring, and configuration-free compatibility with other web frameworks.

Bug fixes in 2.0.5.Final

Issue #109 – Context root is appended twice when using Navigate.to() class
Issue #110 – View IDs with hard-coded query parameters were working in PrettyFaces 3, but no longer in PrettyFaces with Rewrite.

Other critical issues fixed in prior releases have continued to be tested for security holes. If you use container-based security, and have not yet upgraded from Rewrite 2.0.3.Final, you should Immediately upgrade to 2.0.4 or 2.0.5.Final because of the following issue:

Critical issue in 2.0.0.Final -> 2.0.3.Final

Issue 111 – Container based security is circumvented when Rewrite is installed

Documentation improvements

Additionally, we (mostly Christian) have put a good deal of work into the documentation and migration guide from Rewrite 1.x and PrettyFaces to Rewrite 2.x: You can find that guide here: http://ocpsoft.org/rewrite/docs/migration/prettyfaces3 – which is part of a larger effort to improve our documentation entirely. And of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know on the forums, or submit an issue to our issue tracker.

Go get Rewrite now!

We hope you enjoy this latest release of Rewrite!
