[weld-dev] Fwd: [jboss-as7-dev] FYI, a new version of Javassist will soon be available which will have a fix for JASSIST-163 (impacts Weld, jbossws-native-core, scannotation, slf4j, Hibernate)...
The Javassist project will soon release version 3.1.17 (including the
fix for JASSIST-163). Will Weld want to upgrade to 3.1.17 also?
Hibernate will probably upgrade and AS also (if everything works).
I have a local copy of weld-core but was not sure if that is enough to
test with the javassist trunk. Is there more that we would want to do
other than just bumping the javassist version in the weld-core pom.xml
and "mvn clean install test"?

After 3.1.17 of Javassist is released and testing looks good, we can
look at AS7-5127 which is about upgrading javassist in as7 to improve
performance (as long as the new javassist doesn't break anything).
Obviously, if Javassist 3.1.17 breaks something, we will not be able to
upgrade.
I took a look at which AS7 modules (statically) depend on javassist and
the list is:
1. Weld
2. jbossws-native-core
3. scannotation
4. slf4j
5. Hibernate
I'm testing Hibernate with the new javassist but don't know how to test
(1), (2), (3), (4) above. Is there anything else that we need to try
besides the AS7 testsuite to gain confidence that we can upgrade to
javassist 3.1.17 (after its released soon)?
I built trunk of javassist locally and caught one minor failure with the
Hibernate test suite (see yesterdays comments in JASSIST-163). I'm
built AS7 with the updated hibernate/javassist jars and passed the AS7
testsuite.
If anyone wants to do additional testing with the javassist trunk, let
me know and I'll ask for more time to do testing before 3.1.17 is
released. Or others could also coordinate through JASSIST-163.
