Summary of new features in v7.5
Rational Application Developer v7.5 has comprehensive supports for the Java EE 5 specification, servlet 2.5, and JSP 2.1.
There have been significant changes in the tools available for creating artifacts within a Web application.
The main changes are as follows:
| Page Designer-The following enhancements are available:
|
Split tab: Working in split view with design helps looking at the source and also at the design page simultaneously.
|
|
New Layout Mode: Absolute Positioning provides a way to position tags anywhere in the design page.
|
|
| JPA Web tooling-The Java Persistence API (JPA) Web tooling enables you to create Web applications that access JPA entities, which map to relational tables. You can use exiting entities or create them while building the Web application. The functionality of the entity manager is encapsulated into JPA manager beans that provide methods to work with the JPA entities.
