Incompatibilities

• Data Model Changes: There have been several changes to the Gantt data model interfaces and implementations that you need to be aware of if you are migrating code from JViews 5.0:
  
  
• Repackaging: The abstract and basic implementations of the Gantt data model have been repackaged from ilog.views.gantt to the new ilog.views.gantt.model package. In order to recompile your existing code with JViews 5.5, you will need to add the import statement:

  import ilog.views.gantt.model.*;

  to any Java files that reference these classes. The Gantt data model interfaces remain packaged in ilog.views.gantt.
  
  
• Activity and Resource Parent/Child APIs Moved to Gantt Data Model: In JViews 5.0 and earlier, it was the responsibility of the activity and resource implementations to maintain their own parent/child relationships. This was defined by APIs of the IlvActivity and IlvResource interfaces, and a default implementation was provided in the IlvSimpleActivity and IlvSimpleResource classes. Beginning with JViews 5.5, it is the responsibility of the IlvGanttModel implementation to maintain the parent/child relationships of the activities and resources that belong to it. New APIs have been added to the IlvGanttModel interface, and the default implementation is provided in IlvDefaultGanttModel. The corresponding APIs in IlvActivity and IlvResource have been deprecated. This change has several benefits and consequences:
  • Because the parent/child associations are now maintained solely by the Gantt data model, it is much easier to create encapsulated, filtered, or sorted data model implementations. A good starting point for your implementation is the new IlvFilterGanttModel class.
  • A side effect of this change is that beginning with JViews 5.5, when you remove an activity or resource from the Gantt data model, its relationship to its children (if any) is not preserved. For example, when you remove a parent activity from the data model, the entire subtree of activities is also removed. However, if you then add the parent activity back to the data model, only the activity itself and none of its former children will be added to the data model. Therefore, beginning with JViews 5.5, if you want to restore an entire subtree of deleted activities or resources, you will need to explicitly re-add the parent and each child back to the Gantt data model.
  • The parent/child APIs of IlvActivity and IlvResource that have been deprecated can now be called only when the activity or resource is a member of a Gantt data model. This is because these APIs delegate to the corresponding new methods of the Gantt data model. Beginning with JViews 5.5, if you invoke these APIs on an activity or resource that is not a member of a data model, they will throw an IllegalStateException.

General Changes

• Styling Capabilies through Cascading Style Sheets: You can now dynamically customize the Gantt and Schedule chart components by applying style sheets. Style sheets are dynamically interpreted and allow you to customize the renderering of your scheduling data without writing Java code. See the Gantt User's Manual for a tutorial and more information on styling. You can also look at the new Gantt and Schedule Chart Styling Example.
  
  
• Enhanced Printing Support: The new ilog.views.gantt.print package provides several classes that allow you to print the contents of a Gantt or Schedule chart. Supported features include multipage output, print preview, and page setup. The new printing support package provides several improvements over the simpler printing framework that was provided as part of the Gantt Print Example in JViews 5.0. See the Gantt User's Manual for more information. You can also look at the updated Gantt Print Example.
  
  
• New Data Model Implementations:
  • The new ilog.views.gantt.model.general package provides data model implementation classes that support user-defined properties. You will find that, using these classes as your starting point, it is now much easier to create a customized data model that fits your application needs. New XML readers and writers have been provided in the  ilog.views.gantt.xml package to support these new data model implementations.
  • The new IlvFilterGanttModel class provides a good starting point for implementing a data model that encapsulates, sorts, or filters another data model.
    
    
• Enhanced Internationalization Support:
  • IlvHierarchyChart now changes its internal layout in response to switching between left-to-right and right-to-left BIDI component orientations. You can use the new IlvSwingUtil.updateComponentTreeOrientation method to make this change.
  • The Gantt and Schedule charts are now fully internationalized. This includes the default table headers, the time scale labels, and many other aspects of the charts. The relavent property files are detailed in Resource Files for JViews Gantt. English and French versions of all properties are provided.
  • The new IlvDurationFormat class has been provided to allow easy formatting and parsing of time durations. You can see an example of its usage in the updated Gantt Chart Example.
    
    
• Multi-Session Servlet Support: The new IlvGanttSessionAttribute class allows you to easily bind your Gantt or Schedule chart to an HTTP session. Consult the "Multiple Sessions" section in the "Thin Client" chapter of the Gantt User Manual for more details.
  
  
• Support for JDK 1.4 headless mode. To activate this feature, you must run your JVM with the following property: -Djava.awt.headless=true. You can find more information on how to run the server side examples here.
