Even my app's old GenericQueryManager code compiles and works, now that Rife has interface c.u.r.database.querymanagers.generic. GenericQueryManager&lt;BeanType&gt;. The only real change required to move from 0.8.1 to 1.0 RC1 was that for all beans, the return type of getValidationErrors() changed from a List to a Set, so in a couple of places I had to replace calls to List.get(int) with calls to obtain and traverse an Iterator.<br /> <br /> Also my current jarfiles in web/WEB-INF/lib/ are still working fine, so it was not mandatory to use the updated 3rd-party jarfiles in the 1.0 RC1 &quot;sumo&quot; download.<br /> <br /> And so: all in all, the upgrade was painless, quick, and effective. If you have not updated to RC1, consider doing so.<br /> Thu, 17 Mar 2005 17:23:03 +0100 Fred Baube http://rifers.org/blogs/euroderf/2005/3/17/upgrade_to_1_0_rc1_from_0_8_1
