+ Introduction
+
+ &PRODUCT; offers an intuitive, easy to manage user interface and a prov=
en core infrastructure to enable organizations to quickly build dynamic web=
sites in a highly reusable way. By bringing the principals of Open Choice =
to the presentation layer, &PRODUCT; &VERSION; maximizes existing skills an=
d technology investments. =
+
+
+ By integrating proven open source frameworks such as JBoss Seam, Hibern=
ate, Tomcat and JBoss Cache &PRODUCT; takes advantage of innovations in the=
open source community. As well, &PRODUCT; version &VERSION; is fully teste=
d and supported by Red Hat, and is certified to work on many leading enterp=
rise hardware and software products.
+
+
+
+
+ New Features
+
+
+ Revamped User Interface
+
+
+ JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform (EPP) has replaced it's existing JS=
F user interface with one based upon a new framework that is an extension o=
f the Groovy framework. This new interface includes many new features geare=
d towards enabling more interaction and customization of portals, skins and=
pages by non-development resources.
+
+
+
+
+ Master Object Page Model
+
+
+ EPP has replaced the existing XML file drive page model towards a ne=
w model that treats each portlet page as an object stored in the Java Conte=
nt Repository (JCR). This new model allows for pages to be highly reusable =
and enables simple page creation, editing and hierarchical node management =
within the portal.
+
+
+
+
+ New Navigational Controls
+
+
+ EPP has implemented navigational controls that dynamically and conte=
xtually get data from the JCR. These controls are portlet based and can be =
customized and modified to meet a wide range of navigational options.
+
+
+
+
+ Site and Page Wizards
+
+
+ EPP has implemented wizard capabilities to simplify the creation of =
pages for non-development resources. These wizards enable selection of page=
placement in the portal, implementation of over 10 out of the box page lay=
outs, addition of portlets and gadgets as well as page security.
+
+
+
+
+ Administration Portlets
+
+
+ EPP has implemented an entirely new set of administration portlets t=
o simplify the management of portlets and gadgets and well as users and gro=
ups.
+
+
+
+
+ Right to Left Language Support
+
+
+ EPP supports localization and includes over 12 out of the box langua=
ge localizations. This includes right to left language support.
+
+
+
+
+ Gadget Container
+
+
+ EPP has implemented the Shindig Open Social Gadget container.
+
+
+
+
+ Portlet Bridge 2.0
+
+
+ A new updated version of the Portlet Bridge Project that enables the=
easy creation of portlets that reuse JSF, Seam and Rich Faces applications=
. The new version of the bridge spans a wider range of use cases from the u=
nderlying applications as well as support for the Portlet 2.0 (JSR286) spec=
ification.
+
+
+
+
+ Example Portlets
+
+
+ EPP includes a directory with additional example and sample portlets=
that can be compiled and modified to meet customer requirements in project=
s.
+
+
+
+
+ New Identity Manager
+
+
+ A new framework to manage users, groups and roles is implemented. Th=
is new identity manager enables attributes to utilize information from LDAP=
servers as well as external databases and applications
+
+
+
+
+ JBoss Enterprise Application Server 5.0
+
+
+ The JBoss Enterprise Application Server 5.0 (JBoss EAP 5.0) is b=
ased on the JBoss AS 5.1.x family and is the latest release of the world's =
most popular application server. JBoss EAP 5.0 represents the state of the =
art with the second generation JBoss Microcontainer-based enterprise Java r=
un-time.
+
+
+ In addition to supporting the latest Java EE specification (Java EE =
5), JBoss EAP 5.0 integrates many of the best enterprise class services for=
advanced messaging, persistence, transactions, caching and high-availabili=
ty. =
+
+
+
+
+ JBoss Microcontainer
+
+
+ The JBoss Microcontainer is a refactoring of the modular JBoss JMX M=
icrokernel. It is a lightweight kernel that manages the loading, lifecycle =
and dependencies between POJOs. Together with a Servlet/JSP container, an E=
JB container, deployers, and management utilities, the JBoss Microcontainer=
provides a standard Java EE 5 profile. =
+
+
+
+
+ JBoss Cache
+
+
+ JBoss Cache provides replication for EJB and HTTP session state and =
supports distributed entity caching for JPA. It also provides superior perf=
ormance and scalability with the new MultiVersion Concurrency Control (MVCC=
) locking scheme.
+
+
+
+
+ JBoss Web Services
+
+
+ JBoss Web Services is a framework that provides support for the late=
st JAX-WS specification as well as a plugin architecture for supporting alt=
ernative Web Services Stacks.

+
+ Known Issues with this release
+
+
+ JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.0 is based upon an entirely new JBos=
s community project named GateIn (www.gatein.org). Previous releases were based upon the JB=
oss Portal Community Project (http://www.jboss.org/jbossportal).
+
+
+ Every reasonable effort has been made to address issues with the previo=
us releases of Enterprise Portal Platform. However, since this is a complet=
ely new architecture it is difficult to provide a pure translation of issue=
s from release to release.

+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBE=
PP-167
+
+
+ EPP will not start on an IBM JVM unless the jcip-annotati=
ons.jar file is copied into /server/default/lib.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-207
+
+
+ A NullPointerException may be encountered when s=
electing a page which has been deleted in Page Management.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-208
+
+
+ An 'Unknown errror' may be encou=
ntered while a editing page or layout in Dashboard under certain circumstan=
ces.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-210
+
+
+ An 'Unknown error' may be return=
ed when trying to save a page from which an application has been removed.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-212
+
+
+ Performing concurrent modifications of a dashboard may result in an=
error.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-226
+
+
+ Uppercase and lowercase characters are not differentiated in the ap=
plication registry.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-262
+
+
+ &PRODUCT; requires a one-off patch in EAP to fix the bug JBossWS - Time=
out value gets inserted into URLs.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-296
+
+
+ The error message "Page not found" is displayed after the layout of any portal page is edited.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-315
+
+
+ Pre-release testing indicated that render parameters in JSR-286 por=
tlets are not replicating in a cluster with 2-nodes.
+
+
+ =
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-326
+
+
+ The error message displayed when creating portal which starts with =
a number (an illegal character) contains the typographical error 'contains'.
+
+
+ The message should read as: The "Portal Nam=
e :" field must start with a character and must not contain special charact=
ers.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-331
+
+
+ The logo in the logo portlet on the &PRODUCT; Dashboard has a relat=
ive URL. This can cause URL validation issues returning the error: The field "logoUrl" must match the format "URL".
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-334
+
+
+ Uppercase lettering does not work with MYSQL databases. This can ca=
use problems when creating pages or portals with the same name.
+
+
+ This is caused by MYSQL's VARCAHR entry in the <=
literal>JCR_SITEM table not being case sensitive. A patch has bee=
n written that solves this issue by switching the VARCHAR entry to use VARBINARY which is case sensitive.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-339
+
+
+ A NullPointerException is encountered when attem=

+
+ There are currently some User Interface display inconsistencies whe=
n using Internet Explorer 6 to edit or view a portal. =
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-350
+
+
+ An error is encountered when adding a gadget to a portal using a MY=
SQL database if the '/server/production' folder has be=
en removed but the database has not been cleaned.

eve gadget xml. HTTP error 500 is returned.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-355
+
+
+ The portal will return a permissions error when trying to add all g=
roups in the group navigation, even if the user is logged in as the portal =
administrator (root). =
+
+
+ The error message will read: This user does=
n't have permissions to add navigation.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-356
+
+
+ Groups listed in the Add Navigation window of the Group navigation =
page are not currently listed in alphabetical order.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-358
+
+
+ When using the portal with the French language and attempting to re=
cover a lost/forgotten password, the recovery window is not translated into=
French and refers to the portal as eXo, as opposed to &PRODUCT;.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-360
+
+
+ The login page shown after a timed-out session or a failed login at=
tempt is currently branded with the GateIn name and logo=
. GateIn is a community project that &PRODUCT; is based =
on.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-362
+
+
+ The JSPHelloWorld portlet example currently returns the line: "my name is JBoss Portal. What's yours?". The=
line should read: "my name is &PRODUCT;. What's yo=
urs?".
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-367
+
+
+ The SEAM component used in &PRODUCT; &VERSION; has a bug that makes=
it generate AS 5 incompatible pages.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-369
+
+
+ The use of two JSR286 portlets that use the same portlet-name but d=
ifferent portlet applications will create an exception in the application r=
egistry.
+
+
+
+
+ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-363
+
+
+ A deleted user's entry can still be seen, and edited, in the databa=
se after they are removed from LDAP. =
+
+
+ If the password for the deleted user's account is changed after del=
etion, and a login attempt is made using the new password an error is encou=
ntered and further logins cannot be completed.
+
+
+ Clearing the user session will clear this error and allow normal lo=
gins.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Recommended Practices
+
+
+ For security reasons, before going in production, you should restrict =
the access to the login servlet to POST.
+
+
+ To do so, edit the file $JBOSS_HOME/server/[configuration]/g=
atein.ear/02portal.war/WEB-INF/web.xml and add: =
+
+
+
+ login
+ /login
+ GET
+ PUT
+ DELETE
+ HEAD
+ OPTIONS
+ TRACE
+
+
+ ]]>
+
+ Doing this will render the login links provided on the front page inact=
ive. =

+
+
+ Migration from Enterprise Portal Platform 4.3
+
+ As stated in section 5 of this document, Enterprise Portal Platform 5 =
is based upon an entirely new core architecture and is not backwards compat=
ible with Enterprise Portal Platform 4.3.
+
+ =
+ As a value added part of an enterprise subscription to EPP the JBoss P=
ortal team is working to develop a set of migration utilities (which may ta=
ke the form of documentation, guides and/or scripts) to assist customers in=
migration. We intend to release these utilities in a future revision of JB=
oss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.x.
+
+
+ For customers seeking to begin a migration prior to the availability o=
f any Red Hat provided migration utilities, please contact Red Hat JBoss Su=
pport for migration advice. Red Hat JBoss support will be the main communic=
ation channel for migration knowledge as it is developed.

- Known Issues with this release
-
-
- JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.0 is based upon an entirely new JBos=

oss Portal Community Project (http://www.jboss.org/jbossportal).
-
-
- Every reasonable effort has been made to address issues with the previo=
us releases of Enterprise Portal Platform. However, since this is a complet=
ely new architecture it is difficult to provide a pure translation of issue=
s from release to release.

-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-208
-
-
- An 'Unknown errror' may be encou=
ntered while a editing page or layout in Dashboard under certain circumstan=
ces.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-210
-
-
- An 'Unknown error' may be return=
ed when trying to save a page from which an application has been removed.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-212
-
-
- Performing concurrent modifications of a dashboard may result in an=
error.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-226
-
-
- Uppercase and lowercase characters are not differentiated in the ap=
plication registry.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-262
-
-
- &PRODUCT; requires a one-off patch in EAP to fix the bug JBossWS - Time=
out value gets inserted into URLs.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-296
-
-
- The error message "Page not found" is displayed after the layout of any portal page is edited.
-
-
-
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-315
-
-
- Pre-release testing indicated that render parameters in JSR-286 por=

- =
-
- https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-326
-
-
- The error message displayed when creating portal which starts with =
a number (an illegal character) contains the typographical error 'contains'.

-
-
- Uppercase lettering does not work with MYSQL databases. This can ca=
use problems when creating pages or portals with the same name.
-

- Recommended Practices
-
-
- For security reasons, before going in production, you should restrict =
the access to the login servlet to POST.
-
-
- To do so, edit the file $JBOSS_HOME/server/[configuration]/g=
atein.ear/02portal.war/WEB-INF/web.xml and add: =
-
-
-
- login
- /login
- GET
- PUT
- DELETE
- HEAD
- OPTIONS
- TRACE
-
-
- ]]>
-
- Doing this will render the login links provided on the front page inact=
ive. =

- =
- As a value added part of an enterprise subscription to EPP the JBoss P=
ortal team is working to develop a set of migration utilities (which may ta=
ke the form of documentation, guides and/or scripts) to assist customers in=
migration. We intend to release these utilities in a future revision of JB=
oss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.x.
-
-
- For customers seeking to begin a migration prior to the availability o=
f any Red Hat provided migration utilities, please contact Red Hat JBoss Su=
pport for migration advice. Red Hat JBoss support will be the main communic=
ation channel for migration knowledge as it is developed.
