What's new in version 5.0

New features and fixes summary - changelog from 4.5 to 5.0

 

1. Entirely new package sferyx.javascript.engine which emulates a generic
javascript access to all document elements.  (Component Edition Enterprise only)

This will work both on Visual editor and Preivew automatically reflecting the state of the editor.

Now you can easily access all document and form elements in a javascript like manner.

Example on accessing form elements:

JavaScriptEmulatorEngine jsEngine=new JavaScriptEmulatorEngine(hTMLEditor1);

DocumentElement[] elements=jsEngine.getDocument().forms[0].elements;

for(int i=0;i<elements.length;i++)
{
System.out.println("------Element Start---------");
System.out.print(elements[i]);
System.out.println("------Element End---------");
}

To access easily the attributes as Strings you can now use directly
element.getAttributes() or element.getAttribute(attributeName)

Example on referencing the document elements by ID

JavaScriptEmulatorEngine jsEngine=new JavaScriptEmulatorEngine(hTMLEditor1);
DocumentElement element=jsEngine.getDocument().getElementById("3246");

System.out.println("------Element Start---------");
System.out.print(element);
System.out.println("------Element End---------");

 

Example on referencing the document elements by ID and adding Mouse listener to it.

JavaScriptEmulatorEngine jsEngine=new JavaScriptEmulatorEngine(hTMLEditor1);
DocumentElement element=jsEngine.getDocument().getElementById("3246");

JComponent component=SferyxUtilities.getJavaFormItemComponent(element,
hTMLEditor1);
System.out.println("Adding Mouse Listener to :"+component);
component.addMouseListener(this);

 

Example on referencing the document elements by Tag Name

JavaScriptEmulatorEngine jsEngine=new JavaScriptEmulatorEngine(hTMLEditor1);
DocumentElement[] elements=jsEngine.getDocument().getElementsByTagName("INPUT");

for(int i=0;i<elements.length;i++)
{
System.out.println("------Element Start---------");
System.out.print(elements[i]);
System.out.println("------Element End---------");
}

@See ReferencingDocumentElements.java example for major details.

2. New utilitiy methods added in the SferyxUtility package which eases accessing components through the document elements.

3. Fixes over the numbered/bulleted lists handling and deletion etc.

4. Now Source code pane will also report document events through addDocumentListener

5. Improvements over the paragraph styles: now styles are preserved over different paragraphs when typing.

6. New examples included in the examples folder.

7. htmlEditor.setBrowsingInPreviewEnabled(true); -  (Component Edition Enterprise only) will enable browsing in the preview mode. Using this functionality the editor can be used also like a browser.

8. boolean isBrowsingInPreviewEnabled() - returns the state of the browsing features (Component Edition Enterprise only)

9. htmlEditor.setVisualEditorFollowsPreview(true); - will enable the visual editor to reflect changes in the preview. Otherwise the initial page will be preserved. (Component Edition Enterprise only)

10. boolean isVisualEditorFollowsPreview(); - returns the state of the visual editor and the browsing (Component Edition Enterprise only)

11. Preview mode only - new method: void setPreviewModeOnly(boolean mode); - (Component Edition Enterprise only) sets the editor in preview mode only and defacto turns it in a browser component

12. htmlEditor.addFormElementsMouseListener(mouseListener); - will forward mouse events fired on form elements to your mouse listener. This will work both in preview and edit modes.

13. void removeFormElementMouseListener(); - allows mouse listeners to be added to form components inside the HTML document. This way easily can be tracked the user input inside the form elements. Here is example of retrieving of the attributes:

@See the new example ButtonListenersExample.java in the examples folder.

AttributeSet attribs=htmlEditor.getAttributesForComponent((Component)mouseEvent.getSource(), htmlEditor.getSelectedEditorComponent());

This method allows to retrieve easily attributes such as name, id, style etc.

@See the new example ButtonListenersExample.java in the examples folder.

13. setForcedSpanGeneration(true); will force generation of span statements instead of font. In this case some extended style attributes may be added to the generated content.

14. boolean isForsedSpanGeneration(); will return the state of the span generation.

15. CSS no more throws exceptions under JRE 1.5

16. Paragraph Properties now works as expected

17. Enabled preview hyperlinkListener mode - see the attached example for details

18. List deletion issue now fixed

19. Cursor does not disappear anymore after Shift+Enter with jre 1.5

20. New methods:

public void setSingleParagraphSpacing(boolean enabled);

public boolean isSingleParagraphSpacing();

This will cause single line spacing paragraph to be generated. Code will include 0 top margin style attribute. This is introduced to simulate the default MS Word behavior.

21. HTML Source document does not generate changedEvents during switching to the source tab. However events are reported correctly when the document is being edited.

22. Initial doc entity by default now suppressed.

23. As-you-type spellchecker added to the traditional one. (Component Edition Enterprise only)

24. Now the & in hyperlinks are generated properly following the XHMTL specification.

25. Custom tags handling (Component Edition Enterprise only) Now the editor will try to guess the various custom tags and provide the necessary visualization. You can customize easily the rendering of custom tags using style sheets.

This is quite simple now and is sufficient to do the following:

<style>

my_tag {background-color:red; }

</style>

<my_tag>
Some content here
</my_tag>

26. For custom empty tags you can specify (Component Edition Enterprise only) your own rendering components for each element, so you have the full control over this.

See the examples folder, custom tags folder - there are different examples:

CustomTagsExample.java which uses MyCustomEmptyTag.java for rendering , also the sample-menu.xhml shows how custom block tags can be rendered with style sheets.

27. Now also you can reveal all paragraphs within the document with reveal paragraphs button "¶"

28. Enhaced javascript engine, values of forms elements are dynamically updated and reflected in the "value" property.

29. New package sferyx.administration.xmlcomponents (Component Edition Enterprise only) Allows easy customization, access and handling of custom xml tags.

30. Default: all block tags will be rendered as inline tags (Component Edition Enterprise only) - this will emulate span tags.

31. XML mode: all block tags will be rendered as blocks (Component Edition Enterprise only) - this will emulate rendering of xml documents inside a browser

This can be achieved by simply setting this method: CustomXMLTagsGrammarSpecification.setTreatAllBlockTagsAsBlocks(true); - this is a static method and will affect all running HTMLEditor instances.

32. Mixed Mode (Component Edition Enterprise only): in this mode you can indicate which tags should be rendered as block and which as inline tags.

33. Improved style sheet support - support for style ID

34. Improved internationaisation support, imporved support for different charsets and UTF.

35. Included support for all HTML/XHTML character entities as follows:

36. HTMLEditorOracleBean wrapper class for easier integration within OracleForms

37. Newly introduced methods for adding and retrieving content by pieces for environments that do not allow large data chunks to be exchanged with the editor like Oracle Forms:

Insert operations

    public void openContentBuffer()

    public void appendContentToContentBuffer(String content)

    public void closeBufferAndInsert()

Retrieve operations

    public int getBodyContentLenght()  for bodyContent only

    public int getContentLenght() for entire content

    public String getBodyContentPortion(int offset, int length) for bodyContent only

    public String getContentPortion(int offset, int length) for entire content


Sample code:

Here we insert some content:
--------------------------------------
      htmlEditor.openContentBuffer();
      htmlEditor.appendContentToContentBuffer("This is ");
      htmlEditor.appendContentToContentBuffer("some sample content");
      htmlEditor.appendContentToContentBuffer(" long engouh to be tested...");

Close the buffer and insert it in the editor
--------------------------------------
     htmlEditor.closeBufferAndInsert();


 Retrieve the content in small pieces
---------------------------------------
     int length=htmlEditor.getBodyContentLenght();
     int portionLength=5;
     int i=0;
     while(i+portionLength<length)
     {
         System.out.println(htmlEditor.getBodyContentPortion(i,portionLength<length-i?portionLength:length-i));
         i=i+portionLength;
     }

38. New method public boolean isDocumentEdited() will tell you whether the document has been changed or not

39. New methods for setting up default paste operations:

public void setPreferredPasteOperation(int preferredPasteOperation)

public int getPreferredPasteOperation()

You can switch between the default oprations as follows:

PASTE_FORMATTED_TEXT=0; 
PASTE_PLAIN_TEXT=1; 
PASTE_FORMATTED_PARAGRAPHS_WITHOUT_STYLE=2; 
PASTE_FILTERED_FORMATTED_TEXT=3; 

That means you can do the following:

setPreferredPasteOperation(HTMLEditor.PASTE_PLAIN_TEXT);

or simply

setPreferredPasteOperation(1);

40. setEnabled(true|false) now works as expected - will disable/enable the whole editor at once. This can be used like java bean property in visual IDEs.

41. htmlEditor.setDocumentLenghtLimit(150, null); will set the document lentght limit including the html tags will display the default message. 

or htmlEditor.setDocumentLenghtLimit(150, "You reached the limit"); will set the document lentght limit including the html tags and will display custom message.

42. WebDAV publishing support for the applet edition.(Applet Edition only) See <PARAM NAME="publishContentUsingWebDAV" VALUE="true"> for details

43. Now using WebDAV you can publish both content and images  (Applet Edition only)  In order to enable direct save to WebDav enabled server you will need to specify the following parameters: 

document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="saveURL" VALUE="http://localhost/dav/test.htm">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="useSaveAsSaveRemote" VALUE="true">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="publishContentUsingWebDAV" VALUE="true">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="uploadedObjectsTranslationPath" VALUE=http://localhost/dav/images">'); 

"saveURL" - this is where the content of the page is placed. The file name will be used as file name for saving in webDav. If you need this to be set dinamically you can use also the following javascript function: You can use this to set easily the save location for different files like this:

 if(window.document.htmleditor!=null)
 {
     window.document.htmleditor.start();
     window.document.htmleditor.startVisualEditor();
     window.document.htmleditor.setSaveLocation(https://yoursavelocationhere);
     window.document.htmleditor.openLocation(" https://somelocation ");
} 

Use setSaveLocation *AFTER* the start() method in order to be sure it ovverrides evetually the parameter setting. "uploadedObjectsTranslationPath" will be used for to translate the uploaded images in server side paths. Without it the images may not be translated properly. It will be like the directory where the images are placed. Make
sure you have granted the necessary writing privileges there. 

44. Sferyx EquationEditor if installed will work also in external window mode for the Applet Edition. 

45. The RemoteFileBrowser will not cache its content anymore.(Applet Edition only)  Now the page will be reloaded each time it is shown.

46. Sferyx EquationEditor will be working properly also (Applet Edition only)  in Mozilla/FireFox on Mac. 

47. Resolved some integration isses with ColdFusion file uploads. 

48. Resolved some issues related to caching uploaded images.

49. Added a new javascript function which is called setSaveLocation(String url_location) which allows the saveURL to be set dinamically through javascript (Applet Edition only).

You can use this to set easily the save location for different files like this:

if(window.document.htmleditor!=null) 
{ 
   window.document.htmleditor.start(); 
   window.document.htmleditor.startVisualEditor(); 
   window.document.htmleditor.setSaveLocation(https://yoursavelocationhere); 
   window.document.htmleditor.openLocation(" https://www.ridgefield.sdr.slb.com/Travel/Ridgefield/restaurants.html "); 
} 

50. Added a new javascript functions  setUploadedObjectsTranslationPath(String urtl) and setExternalStyleSheetLocation(String urtl) which will allow dynamic control of the translation path and the loaded style sheets.

51. New method: public void loadStyleDescriptionsFile(final String fileURL)  This method allows sample style descriptions to be loaded for use in the dropdown combo box. That means the style description will be displayed to the user instead of the style class names which will result in more user friendly editing experience. See the users manual for the file format

52. New methods for handling document tree (Component Edition only) : 

public void setSaveEntireDocumentTree(boolean saveEntrireDocTree)

Returns whether the entire document tree should be saved upon saving. This means that all external objects can be moved to a specific subfolder relative to the document path
 
public boolean getSaveEntireDocumentTree()

This method is used to set the folder name where all linked objects should be moved upon save. This is used in conjuction with saveEntireDocumentTree(). This will cause all linked objects to be moved in a relative to the document folder which will contain all external objects - images, link targets etc.

public void setLinkedObjectsFolderName(String linkedObjectsFolderName)

This method is used to retrieve the folder name where all linked objects should be moved upon save. This is used in conjuction with setSaveEntireDocumentTree(). This will cause all linked objects to be moved in a relative to the document folder which will contain all external objects - images, link targets etc.

public String getLinkedObjectsFolderName()

Will save the entire documnet tree in a relative folder under the document path. All external objects will be copied to that location. Default relative path is "images" - can be changed using setLinkedObjectsFolderNAme(String name)
 
public boolean saveEntireDocumentTree() will save the entire document tree as specified in the methods described above.

53. Style classes in the quick style dropdown on the toolbar will be ordered alphabetically.
