We are proud to announce today a nice minor release for Ortus DataBoss version 1.2.0. This release fixes some issues reported and also introduces an updated UI and some nice updates thanks to the great feedback. Also, RESTFul services have been updated so you can use DataBoss as a centralized data hub with export capabilities of data and entity with its relationships in JSON, JSONP, XML, WDDX or even PDF formats. We have completely documented the RESTFul endpoints for DataBoss and its features.
The major updates of this release is the capabilities to annotate your properties with options. This allows you to now control which options are presented to the user in the UI via drop downs. This can be directly coded or dynamically by calling a function within the same ORM model.

What is DataBoss?
Ortus DataBoss is an application that will help you manage CFML Object Relational Mapper (ORM) objects without the need of writing administrative code for them; thus a Dynamic Administrator. DataBoss will talk to the underlying ORM engine (Hibernate) and get all the necessary information to manage all the ORM entities and its relationships in that specific CFML application DataBoss has been deployed to. You can watch our introductory video to get a quick overview of what DataBoss is and how it can benefit your development.
