We added a short guide how to set up a project running in a Spring Boot container, internally using CDI for creating page beans and for injecting e.g. services into the UI processing. Please directly open >HERE< or find the guide inside our >Documentation<.
Creation of Gradle Projects
The creation of Gradle-based projects is now very simple – and as with Maven it is directly supported by the CaptainCasa tool set. We added a short video:

Dockerizing your CaptainCasa Application
Arranging your CaptainCasa-based application to run inside a Docker-managed container is not complex at all – and opens up flexible options to deliver and run your application.
We summarized the few steps that you need to execute within a technical document, so that even “non-Docker-persons” see, that there is no magic behind. The document is available as part of our documentation page – or directly click >HERE<.

Using CaptainCasa with Spring Boot
Setting up a Spring Boot project with CaptainCasa is “super-simple”!
CaptainCasa provides the adequate Maven project archetypes so that the creation of such project is a “one-button-action”. Check the >updated documentation< that explains what and how to do:
Shaping of SCHEDULEITEM components
There are couple of shapes that you can use for the SCHEDULEITEM component. Example:
Schedule items components are used to render information that has a certain begin end end date/time. You may e.g. show/edit orders that are assigned to machines.
The items can be dragged/dropped, moved, sized at their ends – and may contain any other components. (In the example a text label was used.) Items can be arranged horizontally and vertically.
Touch tree
Tree structures now can be rendered as a “touch-able tree”, in order to increase the usability for mobile scenarios:
Each node is represented as tile. When touching a tile then its content is shown – or executed. The top line of tiles shows these nodes which are currently opened.
