JBoss AS 4.2.0.GA Release Notes

This is the final release of JBoss Application Server v4.2.0. JBoss AS 4.2 is a stepping stone from JBoss 4.0 to JBoss 5.0. It combines a lot (but not all) of the exciting new features of JBoss 5, but based on the stable 4.x MicroKernel architecture.

JBoss 4.2 is also used as the basis for the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The platform bundles JBoss AS 4.2 and JBoss Seam and it constitutes the software for which commercial support is offered by JBoss/Red Hat. Please read Sacha's blog if you are interested to learn more about the new development, distribution and support model for JBoss.

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-4.2.x getting started guide that is based on contents from the tutorial can be found in JBoss Application Server Documentation Library

Note: The 4.2.x release of the JBoss Application Server provides support for certain JavaEE5 features, such as EJB3, but it is not Java EE5 certified.

Highlights

    * JDK5 is *required* to run JBossAS 4.2.x. The decision was based on the fact that JDK1.4 is phased out and the reality that a lot of people like Java Annotations support and want to combine EJB3 and JBoss Seam components with JBossAS. JDK6 is not formally supported yet, although you may be able to start the server with it. JDK6 support will come with JBossAS 5.x.
    * JBoss EJB3 is now deployed *by default* in JBossAS 4.2.x The fact that we base on JDK5 makes our life easier in this regard, meaning we don't have to maintain jdk5 code retro-weaved for jdk1.4 runtimes, and we can include by default components that require jdk5 to run.
    * JBoss Web v2.x is the web container in JBossAS 4.2, an implementation based on Apache Tomcat that includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and Tomcat native technologies to achieve scalability and performance characteristics that match and exceed the Apache Http server. In the absence of the native libraries in the JBoss classpath, JBoss Web falls back to the standard non-native connector mode. The native libraries need to be downloaded and installed separately.
    * JBoss Transactions v4.2 is the default transaction manager for JBossAS 4.2. JBoss Transactions is founded on industry proven technology and 18 year history as a leader in distributed transactions, and is one of the most interoperable implementations available. The JTA version of JBoss Transactions included with the server provides for fully recoverable transactions. For distributed transaction support the JTS version of JBoss Transactions will need to be used. Furthermore, it is always possible to fall back to the legacy JBossTM fast in-memory transaction manager implementation, if necessary.
    * JBossWS is the web services stack for JBoss 4.2 providing Java EE compatible web services. It has been upgraded to v1.2.1.GA
    * JGroups/JBossCache were upgraded to the latest releases. The server is already configured to support channel multiplexing, when it becomes available.
    * JBoss Remoting was upgraded to the latest stable 2.2.x version. This was done in order to align dependencies with the thirdparty libraries required by the new JBoss Messaging, which means that, if you want, you can replace the default JBossMQ messaging provider with JBoss Messaging, without having to revert to a scoped deployment.

Minor feature additions.

    * Remote access to MBeanInfo of JMX mbeans with non-serializable attributes over the InvokerAdaptorService, JBAS-1955.
    * More options for externalizing LoginModule secrets, JBAS-2895.
    * New quartz JCA inflow adapter, JBAS-3206.
    * Support of transaction timeouts for MDBs, JBAS-3321.
    * Extenstions in the BarrierController to allow wider lifecycle control options, JBAS-3469.
    * Configurable policies for determining the master node for HASingletons, JBAS-2499.
    * Fast datasource failover, when using the highly available datasource resource adapter, JBAS-3851.
    * The higly available (HA) version of the local and xa resource adapters (jboss-ha-local-jdbc.rar, jboss-ha-xa-jdbc.rar), are now consider production quality.
    * The JBoss javax.management.timer.Timer implementation has been cloned into a difference package for use with a JDK5 runtime, JBAS-3870.
    * .EAR files support ./lib directory, JBAS-4037.
    * Support of value classes in EJBQLToSQL92Compiler, JBAS-3975.
    * Allow configuration of the table used for storing EJB Timers, JBAS-4042.
    * Allow developers to bundle their own JSF implementation. For details see JBAS-4383, but do note that this configuration is not officially supported by JBoss. It was added to allow legacy applications written against MyFaces to work on JBoss 4.2.

Plus more than 100 bug fixes, see the Detailed Release Notes section for the full details.
Compatibility Issues
This lists the changes that could affect compatibility.

    * A JavaSE 5 runtime is required to run JBossAS 4.2. A full JDK with tools.jar support is no longer needed by jboss, since JBoss Web packages the eclipse JDT compiler for compiling JSP pages and javassist has its own internal compiler. JAVA_HOME can point to a JRE, JBAS-4161.
    * According to our product versioning rules, JBossAS 4.2 is a minor upgrade against JBoss AS 4.0. The various JBoss APIs should be stable but backwards compatibility for individual component implementations may not be guaranteed, e.g. interoperating with another JBoss instance that uses an older version of JGroups.
    * Tomcat 6 is now bundled as part of JBoss Web. deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar has been replaced by deploy/jboss-web.deployer.
    * conf/log4j.xml has been renamed to conf/jboss-log4j.xml, to allow log4j.properties override from scoped deployments, JBAS-1853.
    * log4j and commons-logging have both been upgraded. commons-logging is patched in addition, JBAS-2823.
    * Since the latest log4j includes a trace level, there is no need to reference the custom jboss TRACE level in conf/jboss-log4j.xml configs, JBAS-4163.
      Instead of: 
      you can use: 
    * Better integration with WebSphere MQ 5.x, JBAS-3183.
    * The MyFaces JSF implementation has been replaced by the Glassfish JSF 1.2 one, JBAS-3897.
    * Hibernate, hibernate-annotations and hibernate-entity-manager have all been upgraded. to v3.2.1.
    * The default invoker for EJBs has been changed from the rmi-invoker to the unified-invoker, provided by JBoss Remoting, JBAS-3950.
    * Apache commons http-client and apache-codec were removed from jbossall-client.jar, JBAS-4365.
    * The address that is stored in the host portion of the RMI codebase URL can now be set correctly, JBAS-3325.
    * The java2ClassLoadingCompliance setting in jboss-web.xml was ignored; this has been fixed, JBAS-3047.
    * In JBoss 4.2 the unified invokers based on JBoss Remoting are the default transport for accessing EJBs. Using the unified invokers JBoss 4.2 can interoperate safely with JBoss AS 4.0.4.GA/4.0.5.GA, using the flag -Djboss.remoting.pre_2_0_compatible=true on the JBoss 4.2.x side. For interoperating with older JBoss AS versions (3.2.8.SP1 to 4.0.3.SP1) the legacy rmi or pooled invokers need to be used. See JBAS-4407 and the wiki page on JBoss Version Compatibility.

Configuration Issues
This lists the changes that could affect configuration.

    * JBossAS now binds its services to localhost (127.0.0.1) *by default*, instead of binding to all available interfaces (0.0.0.0). This was primarily done for security reasons because of concerns of users going to production without having secured their servers properly. To enable remote access by binding JBoss services to a particular interface, simply run jboss with the -b option, but be aware you still need to secure you server properly.
    * There now distinct properties to configure the various mcast ports, JBAS-4021.
    * When running under linux, run.sh forces the use of IPv4, due to a jdk bug, JBAS-4332.
    * JBoss EJB3 is now included by default. If you don't need/want EJB3 support, simply remove deploy/ejb3.deployer.
    * When using native libraries for JBoss Web store them in JBOSS_HOME/bin/native, which is automatically included in the classpath, JBAS-4162.
    * JBoss Transactions is the new default transaction manager in JBoss. It is configured in conf/jboss-service.xml and has additional properties defined in conf/jbossjta-properties.xml. The transaction log is stored by default at server/default/data/tx-object-store.
    * If you are on redhat linux, check out the changes in bin/jboss_init_redhat.sh, JBAS-4041.
    * The JBossAS distributions usually 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.
    * bin/shutdown.sh no longer sources run.conf, JBAS-4155.
