A new Web 2.0 enhancement is installed: the Variable Data Source feature. By default, the Data Source is set per Data Dictionary. Sometimes, though, as the application designer, you might prefer to set the data source conditionally. An example of that would be a situation where you would like to allow the end user to select a company to work in. So you can present the user with several companies they may work in. Behind the scenes, the users company selection will set the Data Source for the current browser session. The differences in the Data Source might be minor, different only because of the library list definition, or major, with different IP servers and even DB types. Subsequent applications, then, will employ the selected data source instead of a pre-defined one for the current browser session.

Web 2.0 apps are improved to include a third option for case sensitivity and this new option is assigned as the default. The options are: 1. Make no change to the search value or to the DB field or 2. Use the UPPER keyword in the SQL statement on both the value and the DB field to find any possible match. 3.

Hover SmartLinks is the newest feature added to servlet applications which help to deliver a rich Web 2.0 experience to application users. When a user moves her mouse over a screen element like text or an image, a box appears to hover over the existing Web page to run an independent application.

This technique makes it easier for the user to view more information without losing her browser original context. Instructions for employing the Hover SmartLink feature are here: http://www.mrc-productivity.com/members/manual/servletmanual/Hover-Smartlinks.htm. This feature employs AJAX and the popular Prototype JavaScript Framework for minimal logic and a bug-free experience, but, as always, those details are hidden from the mrc user.

This update ships a brand new Web/Servlet maintenance template ideal for maintaining master files. It enables search, add, update, delete and copy in a single program. Also, several BED bugs are fixed: choosing fields for summaries, disallowing deletion of fields used in calcs, and responding to the auto-sequence option. Bugs are solved for XML with $ in a field name and substring calcs.

This update improves Web/Servlet reports. It allows users to control many aspects of the prompt page including creating drop-down lists from the current query or external files and enabling editing of the data entered. Also, users may now link reports together via the *IMPORT external object location to create complex reports which essentially run multiple queries on a single page.

Use the standard Web/CGI maintenance templates like Prompt Maintainers to front end any process without modification. Use external object location AFTERADD to run the other process. Then redirect the user with either the REDIRECT external object location or a calculation with *REDIRECT in its description. An HTML skeleton option permits you to forgo the database insert upon submitting the app.

Install this update and regenerate the report to correct this problem. -- Action Needed: Install the update.

This update solves a problem for Web/Java applications that incorrectly display numeric fields where the number of decimal positions equal the total number of positions for the field, such as a percentage field. The decimal position was offset, making the number appear very large. The fix will take effect upon installation of this update. You will not need to recompile your application.
