Migration from Tobago 1.5 to 1.6 (work in progress)

Tobago 1.6 has some API changes compared to Tobago 1.5.

The most changes are in the tree API, which is more easy to use, but also more flexible.

Java-API

The class org.apache.myfaces.tobago.model.TreeState which has been deprecated in 1.5.x is used in 1.6.x with a changed API. Please check the occurrences.

Class org.apache.myfaces.tobago.component.UIFileInput has been renamed to org.apache.myfaces.tobago.component.UIFile.

Deprecated

There are also @Deprecated annotations in the code and some logging warning when using deprecated code via the Deprecation logging category. Before and after migrating you should check your application about that.

Internal

The internal package contains classes that should not be used directly in an application. This classes may change in minor revisions without announcement. Classes in the renderkit package a handled in the same manner.

Tag Library

The main changes in the tag library are

TODO: What has changed with the tree.

Configuration

To define an own theme, please use now a file tobago-config.xml instead of tobago-theme.xml. The content of tobago-theme.xml is a subset of the tobago-config.xml, you have only to change the root node.

Please use the tobago-config-1.6.xsd to validate the configuration.
