The latest early access release of FireStorm/DAO 2.1 is now available to download from the following URL:
http://www.codefutures.com/products/firestorm/download/
The JSP/webapp code generation has been overhauled and now generates JSP/servlet code that uses model 2 MVC. Many bugs have been fixed and support for Tomcat 4 has been added.
An early access release of FireStorm/DAO 2.1 is now available from the download page (you now get the choice of downloading the current production release or the early access 2.1 release).
The first feature to be implemented in the 2.1 release is improved importing of JDBC and SQL schemas. In the 2.0 product the imported schema would simply overwrite the schema stored in the project file, thereby wiping out any custom DAO classes and overwriting any changes made to the mapping from SQL to Java. The 2.1 release automatically imports new tables, views, and columns, but does not modify existing objects. Any tables, views, or columns that are no longer in the schema being imported are automatically removed from the project file. This means that you can easily keep your FireStorm/DAO project and generated code synchronized with an evolving database schema.
We are working towards a March date for the final release of version 2.1, which will also include support for Stored Procedures.
