## Java Conformance and Performance

The Adabas Client for Java programming interface has been adapted to Java conformance, and has been improved in terms of performance and usability. In addition, the search interface has been reorganized to support the enhanced search functionality. Unfortunately, this has led to some incompatibilities with Adabas Client for Java Version 1.0, which makes it necessary to recompile applications.

## New Approach to Java Logging/Tracing

With Adabas Client for Java 1.1, the logging mechanism is based on the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) framework. The framework is used in all components of Adabas Client for Java. Depending on your requirements, you can use various destination logging frameworks such as log4j, logback, jdk14 logging or simple logging to log or trace Java Client for Java. For further information on SLF4J, please refer to the web page http://www.slf4j.org/ .

## Super Descriptor/Subdescriptor Support

With Version 1.1, Adabas Client for Java is able to administrate subdescriptors and super descriptors in the Adabas Data Designer. The subdescriptors and super descriptors can now be used in search queries.

A new example program, SuperdescriptorSearchExample, that supports this feature is included as part of the delivery.

## Mainframe EBCDIC Support

Access from Linux/Unix/Windows platforms to non-UES enabled Adabas mainframe databases has been improved.

## Adabas Data Designer

Some problems that occurred during FDT creation and Adabas Client for Java Map management have been fixed. The Adabas Data Designer can now handle FDTs that contain subdescriptors and superdescriptors, as well as other specific descriptors such as phonetic or hyperdescriptors.

Adabas Client for Java maps that contain super descriptors and subdescriptor fields can also be created.

## Problems fixed with this Release

A number of problems have been fixed with this Adabas Client for Java Version 1.1. For further details, please refer to the README file provided with the product.

## Java Runtime 1.8

Adabas Client for Java Version 1.1 requires Java Runtime V1.8 or higher.
