Just in the rare case that someone at JBoss cares.
Upgrading to 4.2.0 has been a thoroughly unpleasant experience.
1. JSF 1.2 does not work with MyFaces Tomahawk 1.1.4 or 1.1.5
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=108746
All JBoss says about this is that Tomahawk 'should work'.
2. (Apparently) JBossTS does not support multiple local-tx and switching to xa-tx does not
work so easily
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=109361
No comments in release notes about this.
3. JBossWeb Native does not work very well with a reverse-proxy. We get random 3 second
delays before a proxy request gets acted upon. To date I have found no information on
this.
4. AJP classes have been removed from the distribution (e.g.
org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig)
No comment in release notes about this.
5. Even though 4.2.0 was released a month ago
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=108479
all documentation is still 4.0.5
http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas/docs
which, when so many changes have been made, is not very 'Professional Open
Source'
6. Searching, or even posting to, the bulletin board is usually pointless.
Maybe I have been spoilt by previous upgrades being so easy,
or maybe JBoss considers rewriting working applications (points 1 and 2) to be 'normal
procedure' in an upgrade,
or maybe JBoss is losing it...
