Deploying WebRenderer with Java Web Start on 64bit systems

	November 2nd, 2011

WebRenderer has long supported deployment via Java™ Web Start. With the upcoming GA release of our WebRenderer Swing Edition 6.0 (which supports 64bit systems) we have had some requests for documentation on how to deploy WebRenderer via Web Start on both 32 and 64bit systems. This blog hopefully offers a helping hand to those that wish to deploy across multiple operating systems with differing 32/64bit architectures. Read more..

Deploying WebRenderer Server Edition in Tomcat

Deploying WebRenderer Server Edition in a Tomcat container is fairly straight forward when one understands the basic deployment principles. If you deploy WebRenderer Server Edition into your WEB-INF/lib or any other local project directory you will run into issues when trying to redeploy. When you try to redeploy your application Tomcat tries to reload the WebRenderer libraries (which are already loaded in memory) and is refused. You will then be confronted with a message about an UnsatisifiedLinkError in setMozPath. Even though at this point it may look like the end, Tomcat comes to our rescue with some specific instructions Read more..

Beta 4 ships – WebRenderer Swing Edition 6

	September 7th, 2011

Today we shipped our fourth beta update for WebRenderer Swing Edition 6.0. There have been a significant number of new features and improved functionality since our first beta release. If you are running an older beta, please ensure you head over to the beta page (webrenderer.com/beta/) and download the latest version.

New features and fixes added since beta 1 include:

Vastly improved Font smoothing
Anti-aliasing on SVG content to ensure rendering is consistent with Firefox
HTML 5 Canvas support
SVG curves and circular shapes
Transparencies in SVG and Canvas
Compatibility support for Windows XP (including without service packs) and Java 1.4.2 on Linux
Print support added (print preview to follow)

We have found the overall stability of our WebRenderer 6 beta to be extremely good. It is certainly worth a look if you are evaluating WebRenderer Swing Edition, as the rendering quality and font performance make a significant difference in the overall aesthetics of the embedded browser.

WebRenderer Swing Edition 6.0 – 64bit beta ships

	Anthony Scotney
	August 16th, 2011

After a long development process we have shipped the first beta of our WebRenderer Swing Edition 6. The reason this beta is important is because we are now officially supporting 64bit systems (Windows, OSX, Linux). It has long been our goal to support 64bit systems with WebRenderer. The first 64bit development by our development team started back in 2006. Unfortunately the underlying browser platform did not support 64bit systems which was ultimately a stopping point for us. Now that 64bit has been adopted by the underlying platforms we can now “fully” support 64bit systems. The speed of development in which browsers are moving today poses some challenges with backwards compatibility. That said, we are working hard to have the same operating system compatibility as our WebRenderer Swing Edition 5.0. That includes both SPARC Solaris™ 8 and AIX 5.2 even though there is no known build (at least known to us) of Firefox™ 4+ supporting these platforms. The 6.0 beta is also a milestone for additional technology support in WebRenderer such as the addition of SVG as a supported technology. Read more..
