oBIX Java Toolkit v0.12.0 posted

["Brian Frank" <bfrank@tridium.com>]

I posted v0.12.0 of the oBIX Java Toolkit to SourceForge:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/obix

This brings the open source toolkit up to the latest version of the spec
and sports a new alarm console which works off an
obix:AlarmSubject.feed.

I also did a lot of work on how to map arbitrary contract lists into
strongly typed Java classes.  In the end I do what I always do when I
find the Java language too limiting - I assemble classes on the fly.
This turns out to be a pretty cool feature because you can mix and match
contracts on the fly and still get nice Java interface wrappers:

  Obj obj = ObixDecoder.fromString("<enum is='obix:Point
obix:History'/>");
  verify(obj instanceof obix.Enum);
  verify(obj instanceof obix.contracts.Point);
  verify(obj instanceof obix.contracts.History);                        

Take a look at index.html for more details.
