Head off to the download section to get the latest version.
The second milestone of the 1.1 release is available for download!
The changes include improved support for dynamic proxies (JDK, CGLib and Javassist variaties), better classloading behaviour, better debugging experience and more. Also the JavaRebel log (enabled by adding “-Drebel.log=true” to the JVM command line) is no longer encrypted, providing you with much better feedback on JavaRebel’s behaviour.
The next release will focus on integration with frameworks (Spring being the most important), improved SDK and JAR reloading support. We expect to release 1.1 GA in mid-April.
Since in the past there were some misunderstandings between what are the official announces of ZeroTurnaround and what is the team personal opinion we decided to use this site for official announces and articles only. However same members of our team that entertained you here have for some time been writing at dow.ngra.de. This is their personal blog which does not in any way represent the policy or opinions of our company.
Commons-EL is a widely used JSP 2.0 Expression Language Interpreter from Apache. It lets you easily access and manipulate application data in JSP files without requiring the use of scriptlets. Of course commons-el has caching mechanism in place so that newly added/changed fields are not visible in the EL until application redeploy. We have released a small patch and a custom build of the commons-el that lets you access the newly added/changed fields without the limitations. Hopefully this patch will be accepted to the unplanned commons-el 1.1 version.
