Release Notes 5.6.2

Tapestry 5.6.2 is a drop-in replacement for Tapestry 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 releases. It's a recommended upgrade for 5.6.1 and 5.6.0 but be aware of the warning below. To upgrade, just update the dependency in your build configuration (Maven POM, Gradle build script, etc.) – or Download the new JAR file -- and the new version will just work. However, please review the How to Upgrade instructions before upgrading.

The most interesting improvement is  TAP5-2640 - ( ) : better exceptions in tapestry-json code, plus JSONArray now implementing Collection and JSONObject implementing Map.

The tapestry-json improvements (TAP5-2640) introduced an incompatibility with dependencies built with earlier versions than Tapestry 5.6.2.

The method JSONObject#get(String) will fail with a NoSuchMethodError exception due to a signature change to conform to the Map interface.

Possible workarounds:

  • Use a newer version of the dependency build with at least Tapestry 5.6.2
  • Shade the dependency and update it manually
  • Fork the dependency and update it manually
