Dear Jean-Claude,<br><br>I am glad to know the recent development. It show your commitment and dedication for library and user community.

and code refactoring. Please find below a summary of some of the recent developments:<br>
<br>
1)J-ISIS latest versions are using the DJ-Native Swing JWebBrowser library to offer a Web Browser through J-ISIS. It was quite successful for providing a
Web Browser for most popular platforms. But the Java integration has always
produced from time to time some strange behavior (like losing the focus on the
other components after clicking on the Browser window, overlapping of windows,
etc.) , most probably because of mixing heavyweight and lightweight components
and also because of our incompetency in solving the issues.</span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thus, recently we
changed for the JavaFX 2.2 WebWiew. The integration with Java is fine and we have
got rid of all the DJ-Native Swing problems. However, we have lost some
features which were given for free with the native browsers such as downloading
resources in different formats and opening them in the right application. </span><span>The embedded browser component is based on <a href="http://www.webkit.org/" target="_blank">WebKit</a>,
an open source web browser engine. It supports Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS), JavaScript, Document Object Model (DOM), and HTML5.<br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2) The Jetty Web Server
has been embedded in J-ISIS, thus when you start J-ISIS, you have a database
server (Database is a Berkeley DB) as well as a Web server. Records are
displayed through the Web browser and can access other Web resources with the embedded Jetty Web
server.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>3) Web-JISIS prototype
is futher developed and tested to provide a more robust release. The menu bar is now stable, changing PFT when displaying records is now working as well as changing the worksheet in data entry.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">4) And many small Improvements such as:</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span lang="EN-US">Indexing
Techniques</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The field
content is checked to see if it is html. In case it is recognized as HTML, the
text part is extracted and used for indexing. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span lang="EN-US">Import/Export</span></u><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Better wizard screens</span><span lang="EN-US"> and support for other formats such as Dublin Core</span><u><span lang="EN-US"></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span lang="EN-US">Search</span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Better highlighting of the seach terms in the results</span><u><span lang="EN-US"></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-US">Worksheet Editor</span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Drag and Drop of the worksheet fields to change their order</span><u><span lang="EN-US"></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-US">PFT Editor</span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The output produced by a format with a specific record is now working properly, thanks to the new JavaFX Webview Browser.</span><u><span lang="EN-US"><br>
</span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u>PFTs</u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Images stored in blob fields can be used in PFTs.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u>Images</u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Images are now well displayed through the </span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">new JavaFX Webview Browser which is independent from the platform. Images can be stored directly in a record and/or as a Web resource url.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Web Resources</span></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"> A Web resource is anything that is addressable over the Web with a url. They can be addressed through a relative url if the resource is on the server machine or by an absolute url if the Web resource is on a remote machine. <br>
</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u>Digital Library feature</u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Improved speed for large document and better user feedback about the process.<br><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br><span>The tests I have done until now proves that the new JavaFX </span><span><span>embedded browser component fits very well in J-ISIS and avoid the many annoying GUI problems I have seen in the previous releases.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br><span><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span></span>I wish to provide
this new version ASAP so that it can be tested on different platforms. Hopefully,
it will be available before end of next month.</span></p>
<br><span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>With my best wishes,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Jean-Claude</span></p><br clear="all">PS) You will find attached some screen shots from the current development version<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
