- New Message Flow wizard redesigned
- The New Message Flow wizard has been redesigned to allow you to either
select an existing message flow project for a new message flow, or to create
a new message flow project for the new message flow. See Creating a message flow for
more information.
- Broker Development view (formerly the Resource Navigator
view)
- The Resource Navigator view in the Broker Application Development
perspective has
been renamed and is now called the Broker Development view. The ways in which
resources can be displayed in the Broker Development view have also changed.
For example, you can choose whether to display or hide namespaces, categories,
or categorized file extensions. When you create resources, they are grouped
together by file type in logical categories, and placed in virtual folders.
You can choose whether to display the resources in the logical categories,
or to hide them. You can also filter closed projects in the View menu. See Resources and Broker Application Development perspective for more
information.
- Displaying projects in working sets
- A working set is a logical collection of application projects, which you
can use to limit the number of resources that are displayed in the Broker
Development view. For more information, see Resources and Displaying selected projects in working sets.
- Global toolbar in the Broker Application Development
perspective
- The icons that are displayed by default in the toolbar of the Broker Application
Development perspective have changed. See Broker Application Development perspective for
more information.
- New categories for nodes on the node palette
- The nodes on the node palette have been organized into categories, as
shown in Message flow node palette. You can add the nodes that you
use most often into the Favorites category, either by dragging them, or using
the menu, as described in Adding nodes to the Favorites category on the palette.
- Editing node properties
- You can rename a node in the Message Flow editor when you add it to the
canvas, or you can rename it on the Description tab of the Properties view.
- When you double-click a node in the Message Flow editor, you open the
Properties view for that node.
- You can choose to view and edit a node's properties either in the tabbed
Properties view beneath the Message Flow editor, or in the Properties dialog
box.
For more details, see Configuring a message flow node.
- Refreshing the contents of a broker archive
- You can now refresh the contents of a broker
archive in the Broker Archive editor.
This single task combines the actions of removing, updating, and replacing
resources that were previously required. You can also now view, and clear,
the user and service logs from the Broker Archive editor.
