Changes
Veduta™ has changed significantly since version 1.0.
Veduta 1.1 can now run as a web application, with dynamic report generation and log search capability.
You can still run Veduta 1.1 in the same fashion as for 1.0, but it's recommended to run Veduta as a web application to take full advantage of the enhancements.
The enhancements to Veduta are:
- runs as a web application with a simple command line argument. No webserver required.
- reports drawn as charts now, as well as strip reports.
- dynamic generation of reports.
- a log file search engine accessible from the browser.
- a log file viewer available from the browser.
- simpler out of the box configuration.
To get started immediately, take a look at the Quick Start guide.
Upgrading from V1.0
Veduta is backwards-compatible with previous versions. Current users will notice some differences in the documentation resulting from configuration changes. However previous configurations will work as expected.
Some changes reflect that Veduta is now a web application. Consequently some configurations (for example, Windows service configurations) will run with a -webserver option in preference to -server.
Some changes will have to be made to existing configurations when translating from standalone reports to servlet reports.
- The template format style in report.xml must be changed from release/imgs to release/servlet.
- Template changes for report style changes should be reflected in the servlet .vm templates.
- Log file pattern matching is now case-insensitive by default. The attribute caseInsensitive can be set to true to reflect the old behaviour if required.
