Enhancements
Support for Application Deployment with Java 17 and 21
With this release 11.7.4, WaveMaker applications will now support deployment on web servers running Java 17 and Java 21, along with continued support for Java 11. This means Java 11 currently only has extended support. Libraries like Spring and other third-party libraries are actively being developed on Java 17 and above. To know more, see Support for Application Deployment with Java 17 and 21.
Themes in Project Configuration
For better user experience and easy accessibility, the Themes section is moved to Project Configuration settings. This section was earlier available as one of the items in the vertical ellipsis menu.
Change: Themes section can be accessed from Project Configuration settings.
iFrame Widget Improvement
We have added the below validations for the Source URL property of the iFrame widget. If provided URLs do not follow a valid format, iFrame cannot be loaded in Studio mode message is displayed.
For now, we have introduced the below validations:
- Relative URLs: URLs that are not fully qualified with a domain name (e.g., ./page.html).
- URLs Bound to Widgets: URLs that reference other widgets within the same application.
- URLs with HTTP Protocol: Insecure URLs using the HTTP protocol (instead of HTTPS).
Change: An informative message will be displayed in the iFrame widget if you don't provide an absolute URL.
