• extjs 2.0.2 support.
• Dynamic Object tree
• drag & drop reordering

We released also the helloWorld2 a tutorial that introduce views modelling and localization.

the demos  under http://olympos.ordosolis.org will be also soon updated .

The release 3.0 is is still under work but his release date has been moved.
It will support Multiple Framework, Eclipse integration and Model Driven Requirement Management.

You can download it from the SourceForge site.

From this version we support the Web 2.0 within a Model Driven Architecture paradigm.

The most important enhancements are:

• a new generation strategy that separates the generated classes completely from the custom ones
• hook methods in PersistentObject that are executed after standard events
• the AJAX User Interface.

For a complete list of features and bug visit the 2.5 release page.

To give you a live impression of wCMF we have published 2 demos under http://olympos.ordosolis.org.

Additionally we released the HelloWorld tutorial as Flash file.

The next release 3.0 is planned for end of December and will support Multiple Frameworks, Eclipse integration and Model Driven Requirement Management.

Stay tuned!!!

Although we only have a small one after the major version this is a project milestone. We have introduced over 20 features that enhance the productivity and consolidate the system. Our main mission is to let you concentrate on the problem solution not the technical details.

The new main features are:

• Enhanced view template that generates a view
• Stereotype for modeling system properties
• Database upgrade system
• The framework and the application template are now auto deployed to the target directory

For a complete list of new features see the release page.

The following files are released:

Bin

• wcmf_generator_2.1.zip: contains the generator and the framework
• wcmf_generator_2.1_src.zip: the source of the project
• wcmf_library_2.1.zip: the framework only

Documentation

• wcmf_helloworld_2.1.zip: start tutorial
• wcmf_apidoc_2.1.zip : API documentation
• wcmf_generator_2.1.pdf: generator documentation 

In the next months we will enhance the existing framework with AJAX capabilities and generate an off line smart client for Field Force Automation.

For more information see the complete roadmap.

Main focus of the new release is the consolidation of the MDA approach of application development with wCMF. We enhanced the generator metamodel to make applications more customizable through modeling and improved the usability of the default application template. If you are new to wCMF start with the new HelloWord tutorial.

Main changes in this release are:

wCMF default application template:

• concise layout with tabbed navigation and list displays that support sorting and paging
• advanced search using query templates
• improved resource browser
• soap interface that supports crud operations on all entity types
• support for different entity association types (composite, shared)
• internal changes include listener support for PersistentObject classes and customizable validation

wCMFGenerator

• integration of more uml concepts (composite, shared associations and navigability, multiple associations between entities)
• more options for customization of the default application template (display names and types)
• better integration of legacy databases through customizable table and column names and compound primary keys
• better inheritance support
• all wCMF internal classes are included in the default application template and may be enhanced by inheritance (e.g. custom user and role classes)

Feel free to edit, read, whatever: http://wcmf.sourceforge.net/wiki/

While still mostly being used for building CMS, wCMF is generally speaking a versatile web application framework based on the MVC pattern. A first non CMS project (in the e-commerce field) did now proof wCMF’s capabilities for fast and flexible application development.

Main changes in this release:

wCMF

• complete visual redesign of the default application
• FCKeditor integration with image and link management
• improved error handling
• added support for headline generation, ftp synchronization and link manipulation
• new smarty_plugins (configvalue, count_items)
• new development tools (media cleanup, regexp test)

wCMFGenerator

• added inheritance support for node type (one table per concrete class)
• added default application model for poseidon
• improved error checking

wCMF is a PHP framework for building web based Content Management Systems (CMS). It allows to work with any data structure (i.e. even existing data from other applications) and storage (e.g. MySQL, XML). wCMFGenerator builds application parts from a stereotyped UML model.
