• Fix BoneCP version and configuration
• Upgrade slf4j, logback, jackson, model mapper, async http client, hibernate, hibernate validator, ehcache, spring data, jetty and fest assert dependencies

2.1.0 version (03-15-2013)

Upgrade from 2.0.0

Use BoneCP for database connections pool management : Replaced commons-dbcp with bonecp (see why, and migration documentation).

If you ever customized one of those datasource keys in your database.properties file:

dataSource.maxActive = 50
dataSource.maxWait = 1000
dataSource.poolPreparedStatements = true
dataSource.validationQuery = SELECT 1

Then they are not used anymore; you should translate those concepts into the new librabry concepts used for database connections pool management, BoneCP. You'll probably want to switch from a "max live/wait connections" to a "partition" approach, which is way more efficient.

Fix inconsistent API in HTTP Client : API calls all look like asyncXmlGet, jsonGet...

New features and fixes

• add CORSFilter : optional servlet filter that handles cross-origin requests (documentation)
• update to Spring Framework 3.2GA
• Custom JsonView annotations support : Customizing JSON serialization using annotations on entities (documentation)
• New REST API for model validation : Server can export BeanValidation constraints to your client application (documentation)
