The Fall Fluent Release Brings Significant Updates to the Java RESTful Engine

We are thrilled to announce the latest updates and enhancements to Apryse Fluent! Our team has been hard at work to bring you new features and improvements that will enhance your experience and streamline your workflows. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new:

Our Java RESTful Engine has received several significant updates which gives it full feature parity with the .NET version of our RESTful Engine

The Java RESTful engine now also supports the original RESTful engine API with these endpoints: POST v1/metrics, POST v1/reports, GET v1/reports/{guid}, DELETE v1/reports/{guid}, POST v1/tagtree, and GET v1/version.

This feature now allows customers to generate their output from PostgreSQL databases without the need to install custom drivers.

Developers can implement an interface for custom post-processing of generated documents. The RESTful engine provides the generated document, and any changes made are returned seamlessly.

The custom post-processor can accept a byte array containing the raw bytes of the output document in the specified format, such as PDF, DOCX, RTF, XLSX, PPTX, and more. This is the standard use case. Additionally, for scenarios involving file-per-page output, the custom post-processor can handle a byte array of byte arrays, each containing the raw bytes of the output document in the specified format. This is particularly relevant for image outputs and HTML file-per-page formats.

These enhancements offer greater flexibility and control over document processing, enabling tailored solutions to meet specific requirements. We believe this will significantly enhance your development experience and look forward to seeing the innovative ways you utilize this feature.

Post processors written in C# for use with the .NET RESTful engine will need to be re-written in Java to use the Java RESTful engine.

Our Fluent Engine documentation and capabilities have been significantly enhanced to better serve your needs. We’ve introduced comprehensive new getting started guides for all engines and data sources, making it easier for you to choose the right engine based on your specific requirements. Additionally, we’ve improved print job management, allowing you to set print job names with default printer output for a more streamlined workflow.

Managing your Fluent environment is now even easier with the addition of a new download button/link, allowing you to quickly and conveniently download necessary files. This enhancement streamlines your workflow and improves overall efficiency.

We hope these updates will significantly improve your experience with Apryse Fluent. As always, we value your feedback and look forward to hearing how these new features are helping you achieve your goals. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
