If you upgrade from 1.4.x, be sure to upgrade velocity-tools to 1.3 (or 1.3-dev if not yet released) and to change velosurf.tools.VelosurfTool to velosurf.web.VelosurfTool in
toolbox.xml.

Velosurf 1.4.2 has just been released. It is a bug fix release that fixes the connection recovery process.

I'm pleased to anounce the release of Velosurf 1.4

About : Velosurf is a thin but efficient database mapping tool meant to
be used with Jakarta Velocity. Its aim is to generate a set of context
variables that automatically map database tables and relationships,
without the need for any recomplation.

Changes : The main purpose of this release is to allow the use of POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) as row instances.

This release adds transparent encryption of database IDs (so that they can appear in URLs) along with automatic fetching of instances referenced by their ID in HTTP query parameters. Also, some database-specific corrections have been made for Sybase, Oracle and PostgreSQL, and a complete example webapp and a FAQ have been added. There is now a standalone version of the tool, meant to be used outside web-apps.

Velosurf is a database access tool for the Velocity template engine. It is meant for ease-of-use, genericity and efficiency.
