Changelog 2020

June 2020

Added

  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Adding CDS Element annotation @assert.range on enum elements now validates the input against valid enum values.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] CQN statements querying services defined in the CDS model are augmented with an order by automatically (implicit sorting). The default order by uses the key elements of the target entity and, if the target is a view, the order by definition of the view.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Read requests on OData singletons are now supported. Limitations are, that navigations from singletons to other entities (for example, OldestAuthor/books and CUD operations don’t work out-of-the-box yet.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] ETag conditions on $metadata endpoints are now evaluated. OData Responses also now contain the @metadataEtag field.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] ETag conditions on OData bound action or function requests are now evaluated.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] ETag conditions evaluated through selection, now lock the affected row for update.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] The OData entity response field @etag (>= 4.01) or @odata.etag (4.0) is now set when returning collections of entities or expanded entities that have an ETag.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] OData collection requests now automatically apply implicit server-driven paging, if the amount of requested entities exceeds a maximum value of 1,000. The maximum value can be controlled through property cds.query.limit.max or annotation @cds.query.limit.max. In addition a default page size can be set through cds.query.limit.default and @cds.query.limit.default.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] The OData system query parameters (for example, $select, $expand) are now available through the method ParameterInfo.getQueryParameters() when processing OData requests.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] UUIDs in OData requests are now normalized by converting them to lowercase.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] The multi-tenancy feature now supports asynchronous subscriptions.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] New API to register event handler methods on all services or on all services of a specific type.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] New API to register services and event handlers as additional modules loaded through ServiceLoader.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] New API to allow creation of custom services, and to enable them to be registered as Spring beans directly.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Enabled running CAP applications without a JDBC datasource configuration.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Added support for $orderby, $top, and $skip for draft enabled entities.
  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Added several new goals to CDS Maven Plugin:
    • Install Node.js in a specified version
    • Install CDS Development Kit in a specified version
    • Perform arbitrary CDS commands on a CAP Java project
    • Generate Java classes for type safe access
    • Clean your CAP Java project from artifacts of previous build

  • [odata-server@1.8.1] license file: developer-license-3.1.txt

Changed

  • [cap.java@1.7.0] Replaced the CdsRuntimeBuilder with the CdsRuntimeConfigurer, allowing the CdsRuntime to be incrementally built and configured.
  • [cds4j@1.11.0] Lock statements on SQLite are silently ignored and executed as select queries instead of throwing an exception.
  • [cds@3.34.3] Faster generation of hdbtabledata files from csv data. It no longer tries to check the existence of element or column names. Such checks are anyways done during SAP HANA deployment. This behavior is now symmetrical to SQLite deployment.

Fixed

  • [cds.java@1.6.0] Fixed server error on malformed OData requests with unknown actions or functions.

  • [cds@3.34.2] sql_mapping is again written to csn.json as it’s required by classic Java runtime.
  • [cds@3.34.2] default-env.json is now read even in production, which is in line with the behavior of other modules that honor this file. Real prod environments like CF will still overwrite these defaults.

  • [cds@3.34.0] Node.js method cds.parse() has been changed to now truely return parsed-only models, with extensions not applied yet. Note: If you’need the former (erroneous) behaviour, please use cds.compile.cdl for that from now on.
  • [cds@3.34.0] Node.js method cds.get() now returns parsed-only models; same as cds.parse().
  • [cds@3.34.0] cds serve / run / watch now reduce logging of details for the bound DB on connect, leading to less clutter.
  • [cds@3.34.0] Precision for validTo and validFrom defined in the temporal aspect in @sap/cds/common changed from DateTime to Timestamp.

If the element ID_texts already exists, an appropriate warning is raised and no texts entity is created.
  • [cds-compiler@1.23.0] Introduce ![identifier body] in the CDL source for delimited identifiers. (The ! is inspired by ABAP’s identifier tag, [] by the delimited identifier syntax in Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase; we cannot use [] alone, because brackets are used for filter conditions.)

  • [cds-compiler@1.22.0] In the sql, hdi and hdbcds backends with SQL dialect HANA, $user.id is translated to SESSION_CONTEXT('APPLICATIONUSER'), not SESSION_CONTEXT('XS_APPLICATIONUSER') anymore. As with the SQL dialect SQLite, it can now be configured.
  • [cds-compiler@1.22.0] The client tool cdsc now prints a source excerpt for each message by default; use cdsc --no-message-context to get the previous behavior.
  • [cds-compiler@1.22.0] Increase severity to Warning of messages for a situation where the compiler cannot calculate an on condition / foreign keys automatically.
  • [cds-compiler@1.22.0] Issues warnings for annotation definitions, as their CSN representation will be moved from definitions into an new property vocabularies in a future change.

    • various improvements, including in case statements and bracketed conditions
  • [cds.java@1.3.0] The XSUAA service configuration is now only enabled, when an XSUAA service binding is available. With this change we do not prevent Spring from configuring it’s default security config and default user anymore.
  • [cds.java@1.3.0] The Spring Boot Plugin in applications generated by the archetype now generates the executable JAR with classifier “exec”
  • [cds.java@1.2.0] Timestamps are now written to the database in UTC instead of the timezone of the application.
  • [cds.java@1.2.0] Changed incorrect http status 400 Bad Request to 404 Not Found for requests targeting a non-existing entity
  • [cds4j@1.7.0] Store timestamps on SQLite as ISO 8601 Strings
  • [cds4j@1.7.0] Truncate Instants for DateTime and Timestamp
  • [cds@3.30.0] This version brings a major refactoring and streamlining of service runtime implementations, which stays fully compatible regarding all documented APIs but in case you used internal not documented (non-)APIs, you should know these:
    • Removed undocumented features Annotation @source from models loaded for runtime Property cds.serve.app → use cds.app instead Property source from CSN entity/view definition objects

      It’s very unlikely that you ever used these undocumented internal features at all. In case you did, this should never have been done and you should fix that asap.

  • [cds@3.30.0] Deprecated features (→ might get removed in upcoming versions)
    • Property cds.session → use cds.db instead
    • Property cds.options → use cds.db.options instead
    • Property cds.unfold → use cds.compile instead
    • Property cds.config → use cds.env instead

      These properties actually were duplicates to the mentioned alternatives.

  • [cds@3.30.0] cds run and cds watch have been re-implemented as convenience shortcuts to cds serve, which acts as the central orchestrator for bootstrapping now. (→ see cds run ? or cds watch ? to learn more)
  • [cds@3.30.0] cds serve now optionally bootstraps from project-local ./server.js or ./srv/server.js, if exist, thus giving more control while still benefitting from cds serve’s intrinsic support for options like --in-memory or --with-mocks.
  • [cds@3.30.0] cds serve now uses cds.load('*') to load a single effective model once, assigned to cds.model, and reused for db as well as all provided and required services . As that avoids loading models redundantly, it drastically improves both, bootstrapping performance as well as memory consumption.
  • [cds@3.30.0] cds deploy does not (have to) register the default models to package.json anymore. For example, unlike before, cds deploy -2 sqlite will merely add an entry: db:{kind:'sqlite'}, without an additional model property anymore.
  • [cds@3.30.0] cds deploy --to hana does not create connection.properties file any longer, but only modify existing one
  • [cds@3.30.0] modifiedAt and modifiedBy from @sap/cds/common
    • Are now mutable for OData, i.e. no longer carry the @Core.Immutable: true annotation.
    • Are set by the Node.js runtime whenever the respective row was modified, i.e. also during CREATE operations.
  • [cds@3.30.0] Support for cds init is now moved to @sap/cds-dk.
  • [cds@3.21.0] In development mode, the mock authorization strategy is automatically activated with two fake users alice and bob, which allows for out-of-the-box testing of @requires annotations. This means that, unlike before, the JWT authorization strategy needs to be activated explicitly (through {auth: { passport: { strategy: 'mock' }}}. In production, no change is required.
  • [cds@3.21.0] You might see a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error for @sap/xsenv in case you use the JWT strategy but have not bound any xsuaa service. In this case either bind such a service instance, add the @sap/xsenv dependency, or use a different strategy like mock. The trigger of this error is @sap/xssec 2.2.4 no longer requiring @sap/xsenv.
  • [cds@3.21.0] Renovated and streamlined cds init. It prints a hint now if it’s called with old-style parameters, as well as that it wants to be used from @sap/cds-dk. Check out cds help init for more.
  • [cds@3.21.0] Removed the experimental --args parameter of cds compile. This turned out to be cumbersome to use in shells. Replacement is the standard configuration mechanism, e.g. use an environment variable CDS_FOO_BAR to activate option cds.foo.bar.
  • [cds-dk@1.6.0] cds add mta now creates resources for SAP HANA with an explicit service type hana. If deploying to trial landscapes, this needs to be changed manually to hanatrial.
  • [cds-dk@1.5.0] cds init only supports new syntax. See cds init help for more info.
  • [cds-dk@1.5.0] cds init now supports adding template hana to Java projects.
  • [cds-services@1.25.0] use odata-server 1.5.2
  • [cds-services@1.24.0] use odata-server 1.5.1

  • [cds-sql@1.23.0] Convert all search queries using contains to like
  • [cds-sql@1.22.0] Managed fields are not removed anymore if they dont belong to operation (e.g. modifiedAt in INSERT, createdAt in UPDATE)
  • [cds-sql@1.22.0] null is a valid value for a managed field (e. g. if null is provided for @cds.on.insert, null will be inserted to DB)
  • [cds-hana@1.23.0] Use like instead of contains fuzzy search for $search queries
  • [cds-hana@1.22.0] SESSION_CONTEXT(‘APPLICATIONUSER’) instead of SESSION_CONTEXT(‘XS_APPLICATIONUSER’)
  • [cds-hana@1.22.0] @sap/hana-client is preferred over hdb
