FireStorm/DAO 2.2 Update

The 2,2 Early Access release has now been updated. The new build fixes a couple of remaining problems with CLOB and BLOB support and enhances the Struts code generation capability.

Specifically, the following issues have been fixed:

* MySQL TEXT columns are now correctly recognized as CLOB rather than BLOB when reverse-engineering
* JDBC source code is now correctly generatd for BLOB columns (this code was not generated at all in 2.1 due to a bug)
* Correct handling for NULL values in CLOB and BLOB columns
* Generated struts web application now provides full insert and update capabilities

FireStorm/DAO now supports Apache Struts & Tiles

An early access release of FireStorm/DAO 2.2 is now available from the usual location:

http://www.codefutures.com/products/firestorm/download/

FireStorm/DAO 2.2 now generates a complete Struts web application (also utilizes Tiles for page layout). The application can easily be customized by providing your own template for a blank struts application.

All necessary actions and form beans are generated as well as JSP pages and struts-config.xml and tiles-defs.xml entries.

The evaluation release is restricted to a read-only view of your data but the licensed version will generate actions for all CRUD operations.
