JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA Release Notes

This is the 3rd bug fixing release of the JBoss Application Server v4.2 series. The aim of this release is to provide 
fixes for bugs reported by the community against previous JBossAS v4.2.x releases. There were some backwards 
compatible component upgrades so switching to AS 4.2.3.GA from a previous 4.2.0/4.2.1/4.2.2 release should not 
present any problems. Please check out the Detailed Release Notes section for the full details.

A secondary target for this release was to improve support for Java 6. JBossAS 4.2.3.GA can be build with both JDK5 
and JDK6. The JDK5 compiled binaries have undergone more rigorous testing, they constitute our certified version and 
can run under both Java 5 & 6 VMs (with a few configuration changes for JDK6, see the configuration section below). The 
JDK6 compiled binaries include support for the JDBC 4 APIs, but this should be considered experimental at this point.

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 AS 4.2 is also used as the basis for the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The Application Platform 
bundles JBoss AS and JBoss Seam  in a software package 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 EEâ„¢ 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 of JBoss AS 4.2 series

    * 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, JBoss Web 
falls back to the standard non-native connector mode. The native libraries need to be downloaded and installed 
separately in JBOSS_HOME/bin/native.
    * 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, although it should be noted that JBoss TM will not be supported in future JBossAS versions.
    * JBoss WS is the web services stack for JBoss 4.2 providing Java EE compatible web services.
    * JGroups/JBossCache 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.

Compatibility Issues
This lists the changes that could affect compatibility.

According to our product versioning rules, JBossAS 4.2.3 should be fully compatible with previous JBossAS 4.2.x 
releases. However you may want to check the release notes of the individual JBoss and Thirdparty libraries updated 
with this release. Some related issues from previous JBoss releases that you should be aware of are listed below:
JBossAS 4.2.2.GA

    * JBossWS 1.2.1 supported JAX-WS only as a technology preview while JBossWS 2.0.1 used in AS 4.2.2 provides full 
JAX-WS support. If you have used in your code the annotation org.jboss.ws.annotation.WebContext this must be 
replaced by org.jboss.wsf.spi.annotation.WebContext.
    * JBoss WS 1.0.x due to a deployer limitation used a proprietary .jse extension for deploying WS endpoints 
nested in .sar files. This was deprecated with JBoss WS 1.2.x. and with JBoss WS 2.x this proprietary extension is 
not supported anymore as it is possible to use the standard .war extension for deploying nested WS endpoints. If you 
see: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER error messages for .jse files, re-package them using a .war extension, JBWS-1854.
    * Another known limitation is that EJB3 web service endpoints can only be specified using annotations and not 
metadata in jboss.xml. This is something that will be addressed in a future release, JBAS-4852, JBWS-1813.
    * Finding the default local business interface on a ejb3 bean may not work in certain inheritance scenarios. 
You may workaround this known problem by annotating the local business interface. Read more about this at EJBTHREE-1062.
    * EJB Timer related fixes, JBAS-3379, JBAS-4053.
    * JBossMQ related fixes, JBAS-4525, JBAS-4555, JBAS-4559, JBAS-4607, JBAS-4625, JBAS-4699
    * JSP compiler now set to compile JDK 1.5 source code by default, JBAS-4605.
    * The mail-ra.rar resource adapter was missing from the distro, JBAS-4659.
    * HSQLDB (which shouldn't be used in production) v1.8.0.8 has a known bug when used in server mode, 
JBAS-4694. This doesn't affect the default jboss installation where HSQLDB is used in in-process mode.
    * Serialization of HomeHandleImplIIOP has changed. In the unlikely case of a compatibility problem, define the 
system property 
-Dorg.jboss.proxy.ejb.old.homehandle.serialization=true 
to fall back to the legacy serialization mode, JBAS-4801. 

JBossAS 4.2.1.GA

    * JBoss TS, the new default transaction manager will not let you enlist multiple 1-phase participants in the 
same transaction. This was *not* the default behavior with the legacy JBoss TM that would log a warning and continue. 
There are good reasons for this change, mainly to avoid heuristic outcomes in the case of system crashes, which is 
the primary reason of using a transaction manager anyway! If your come across this problem you should try to fix it 
by switching to XA resources or implementing some form of compensating transactions. However, if this is not option 
and you are fully aware of the consequences you can override this behavior by setting com.arjuna.ats.jta.allowMultipleLastResources 
to true in conf/jbossjta-properties.xml. For more details read the wiki on Multiple1PC, or consult the JBoss 
Transactions documentation.
    * A major problem related to the cleaning up of threads after user transaction timeouts was corrected in JBAS-4481. 
If you happen to be using User Transactions make sure you follow the correct pattern for committing or rolling them back.
    * Another serious classloading issue that could lead to a hanging JBoss with a 100% CPU utilization was fixed with JBAS-4441.

JBossAS 4.2.0.GA

    * 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.
    * When compared to previous 4.0.x releases, 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 4.2.3.GA

    * JBossAS 4.2.3.GA can be compiled with both Java5 & Java6. The Java5 compiled binary is our primary/recommended 
binary distribution. It has undergone rigorous testing and can run under both a Java 5 and a Java 6 runtime. When 
running under Java 6 you need to manually copy the following libraries from the JBOSS_HOME/client directory to 
the JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed directory, so that the JAX-WS 2.0 apis supported by JBossWS are used:
          o jboss-jaxrpc.jar
          o jboss-jaxws.jar
          o jboss-jaxws-ext.jar
          o jboss-saaj.jar
          o jaxb-api.jar
    * If you still have problems using JBoss with a Sun Java 6 runtime, you may want to set  -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true, 
as described in JBAS-4491. Other potential problems under a Java 6 runtime include:
          o ORB getting prematurely destroyed when using Sun JDK 6 (see Sun Bug ID: 6520484)
          o Unimplemented methods in Hibernate for JDK6 interfaces.
    * When JBossAS 4.2.3 is compiled with Java 6, support for the extended JDBC 4 API is included in the binary, 
however this can only be used under a Java 6 runtime. In this case no manual configuration steps are necessary. It 
should be noted however that the Java 6 compiled distribution of JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA is still in experimental stage.

JBossAS 4.2.2.GA

    * Extensions to LdapExtLoginModule, JBAS-4619.
    * Escape syntax for mysql and postgresql in jboss CMP, JBAS-4463.
    * Introduced a new system property org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedLoaderRepository.notifyMode to 
provide fine-grained control over the emission of notifications whenever Unified Classloaders are created. 
Classloader leaks can appear if those notifications are send to remote jmx agents, so the usage of the flag can 
avoid this problem, JBAS-4953. 

JBossAS 4.2.1.GA

    * %PATH% is not removed from java.library.path in the presence of JAVA_HOME/bin/native, so e.g. native jdbc 
drivers can be loaded, JBAS-4418.

JBossAS 4.2.0.GA

    * 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. To bind to all available interfaces and re-enable the 
legacy behaviour use -b 0.0.0.0. In any case, 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 Red Hat 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.
