JBoss 4.0.5.CR1 Release Notes
This is the jboss-4.0.5.CR1 release for the Java EE? 1.4 codebase. For information on the APIs that make up Java EE 1.4, see Java EE v1.4 Documentation. For a comprehensive tutorial on Java EE 1.4, see The Java EE? 1.4 Tutorial. A jboss-4.0.x getting started guide that is based on contents from the tutorial can be found in JBoss Application Server Documentation Library

Highlights
* With the update to JBossCache 1.4.0.SP1 JBoss now supports scalable Buddy Replication for replicating http sessions. Note that this is *not* the configured default, see JBAS-3297
* The new JBoss WebServices stack, has been updated to v1.0.3.GA, see the release notes.
* The EJB3 RC8+ preview has been updated to match the current proposed final draft. The EJB3 Trailblazer is a good introduction to JBoss/EJB3.
* The JGroups stack has been configured for improved Failure Detection (FD), JBAS-3004.
* JBossMQ can be configured to support XA Recovery, when used with JBoss Transactions (experimental), JBAS-1341.
* Keystore passwords for Tomcat connectors can now be encrypted, JBAS-3369.
* Added support for advanced security role mapping, JBAS-3323.
* Tomcat Authenticators have been externalized, to allow integration with 3rd-party identity management solutions.
* Datasource connections can be validated in the background, JBAS-1241, and connection pools can be pre-filled, JBAS-1466.
* Access control for coarse grained operations (attribute set, operation invocations) for the JMX console, JBAS-3311.
* EAR applications can now specify the exact order of sub-module deployment, rather than rely in implicit ordering, JBAS-2904.
* HiLoKeyGenerator can now be used in a clustered setup, JBAS-3266.
* JNDIView MBean now shows the ENC of deployed web applications, JBAS-3547.
Plus more than 60 bug fixes, see the Detailed Release Notes section for the full details.
Compatibility Issues
This lists the changes that could affect compatibility.
* The web container is now configured by default to abort any active transactions at the end of a request. This is the Java EE specified behavior, but it can be turned-off, if necessary, JBAS-3242.
* Our implementation of javax.management.timer.Timer (when running under jdk1.4) now supports fixed-delay periodic execution in addition to fixed-rate, and this is now the default (JBAS-3281) for the JMX timer. This affects the schedule manager (JBAS-3282) and the TimerService (JBAS-3391 that now have an additional FixedRate attribute to establish the old fixed-rate behavior.
* The EJB3 preview has been updated to match the current EJB3 draft. See EJB3 Wiki for a list of the documented issues.
Configuration Issues
This lists the changes that could affect configuration.
* The JBossAS distributions now include the installer (.jar), the sources (.tar.gz) and the canonical binary release (.zip). Unzipping the binary distribution (.zip) with a native unzip utility will restore correctly the executable permission in the /bin/*.sh files. However, unzipping using the JDK jar utility ignores the executable bit, so this need to be set manually.
* The -server flag is not supported by the IBM JVM, so it now conditionally set by the run.sh/run.bat scripts, JBAS-3458.
Note that as of the 4.0.1 release, the distributed configurations have switched back to the 3.2.x types of distribution configurations:
* minimal: a minimal microkernel with logging, JNDI and hot deployment support
* default: a base level Java EE 1.4 application server configuration
* all: a full Java EE 1.4 server configuration with clustering and all optional services
The standard configuration from the 4.0.0-4.0.1RC1 releases has been dropped and the default flat class loading model from 3.0.x-3.2.x has been restored for the default configuration. This change in behavior was done to restore consistency with the 3.2.x class loading model. The 4.0.0 scoped class loading behavior and call by value JNDI lookup behavior can be restored by:
1. Editing conf/jboss-service.xml and setting the NamingService CallByValue to true:
<!-- The call by value mode. true if all lookups are unmarshalled
using
the caller's TCL, false if in VM lookups return the value by reference.
-->
true
<!-- The listening port for the bootstrap JNP service. Set this to
-1
to run the NamingService without the JNP invoker listening port.
-->
...
2. Editing the deploy/ear-deployer.xml and setting the Isolated and CallByValue attribute to true:
<!-- EAR deployer, remove if you are not using ear deployments -->
<!-- A flag indicating if ear deployments should have their own scoped
class loader to isolate their classes from other deployments.
-->
true
<!-- A flag indicating if the ear components should have in VM call
optimization disabled.
-->
true
