Very close the next release 0.9.9 of Roma Framework

After about 3 months of work I'm ready to release the new release 0.9.9 of Roma Meta Framework Project.

This will be the last version before the official 1.0. Until now I always preferred to not sacrifice the refactoring of Roma sources to mantain compatibility with previous release. Starting from 1.0 I'm conscious I'll cannot change the sources in a rough manner as now!

I want to give thanks to all Roma users and developers for the patience to adapt their application sources after every SVN update command :-D

What are the news of the version 0.9.9?

• New ETL aspect to import POJO from CSV files defining mapping rules by XPath
• New rendering components (Accordion, ImageButton, Image, TableEdit) and enhanced existents
• Integrated JSP module to use JSP along with Echo2 components
  
• New Roma Test Presentation demo application
• New IN operator in PersistenceAspect
• Cache in database operations
• Support for JDO2 Fetch Group to speed up queries
• Enhanced USERS module with Active Sessions, Info Categories, and more
  
• Tons of bugs fixed
• Much other
  

Roma Framework: New XPath ETL Aspect

Finally in the Roma Framework's SVN repository there is the first ETL aspect implementation for Roma Framework. It allows to import data from CSV files and map content to object properties. Anything is declared in a XML file with XPath rules for mapping.

Easy and cool as usual! ;-)
