JBoss 5.0.0.CR2 Release Notes

This is the last Candidate Release release of the JBoss 5.0.x series for the Java EEâ„¢ 5 codebase and the first JBossAS release that fully complies with the Java EE 5 conformance testing certification requirements! This is an important milestone in the development of JBossAS as we will have more time now to spend on developer productivity features and server manageability improvements.

A common theme for JBossAS 5 is the breaking out of internal subsystems into stand-alone projects and the introduction of SPIs throughout the server codebase. Those changes should not affect directly the end user but they are an important part of the JBoss strategy for making available the various EE services as independent projects, so that they can be wired-together and be consumed a-la-carte inside different runtime environments and not just inside the JBoss Application Server.

If you are building JBossAS from source you'll notice we are migrating to a maven2 build. At this point the build is a hybrid one because it declares all JBoss dependencies as maven2 artifacts, however after the dependencies are resolved/imported the legacy ant based build is used to compile and build the distribution. This will change to a full maven build at some point in time. The jboss maven repo can be found here. Starting from AS5 CR2, please note how the -sources.jar are also downloaded.

Another target for this release was to improve support for Java 6. JBossAS 5 CR2 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.
For information on the APIs that make up Java EE 5, see Java EE APIs & Docs. A tutorial on Java EE 5 can be found here.

A sample Java EE 5 application that can be run on top of JBoss 5 and demonstrates many interesting technologies is the Seam Booking Application available here. Check out the JBoss Seam Wiki that links to many interesting topics about Seam.

Highlights

JBoss 5 is the next generation of the JBoss Application Server build on top of the new JBoss Microcontainer. The JBoss Microcontainer is a lightweight container for managing POJOs, their deployment, configuration and lifecycle. It is a standalone project that replaces the famous JBoss JMX Microkernel of the 3.x and 4.x JBoss series. The Microcontainer integrates nicely with the JBoss framework for Aspect Oriented Programming, JBoss AOP. Support for JMX in JBoss 5 remains strong and MBean services written against the old Microkernel are expected to work.

JBoss5 is designed around the advanced concept of a Virtual Deployment Framework (VDF), that takes the aspect oriented design of many of the earlier JBoss containers and applies it to the deployment layer. Aspectized Deployers operate in a chain over a Virtual File System (VFS), analyze deployments and produce metadata to be used by the JBoss Microcontainer, which in turn instantiates and wires together the various pieces of a deployment, controlling their lifecycle and dependencies.

Many key features of JBoss 5 are provided by integrating other standalone JBoss projects:

    * JBoss EJB3 included with JBoss 5 provides the implementation of the latest revision of the Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) specification. EJB 3.0 is a deep overhaul and simplification of the EJB specification. EJB 3.0's goals are to simplify development, facilitate a test driven approach, and focus more on writing plain old java objects (POJOs) rather than coding against complex EJB APIs.
    * JBoss Messaging is a high performance JMS provider in the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Stack (JEMS), included with JBoss 5 as the default messaging provider. It is also the backbone of the JBoss ESB infrastructure. JBoss Messaging is a complete rewrite of JBossMQ, which is the default JMS provider for the JBoss AS 4.x series.
    * JBossCache that comes in two flavors. A traditional tree-structured node-based cache and a PojoCache, an in-memory, transactional, and replicated cache system that allows users to operate on simple POJOs transparently without active user management of either replication or persistency aspects.
    * JBossWS is the web services stack for JBoss 5 providing Java EE compatible web services, JAX-WS-2.0.
    * JBoss Transactions is the default transaction manager for JBoss 5. 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.
    * JBoss Web is the Web container in JBoss 5, 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.

Minor feature additions for this release include:

    * JBAS-5862, a new look for the jmx-console
    * JBAS-5793, array interception for POJOs stored in web sessions with FIELD granularity.
    * JBAS-5192, a POJO based replacement for the JBoss 4 ServiceBindingManager (WIP).
    * JBAS-5822, support of the new ServiceBindingManager in old -service.xml  deployments.

JBoss 5 includes features and bug fixes, many of them carried over upstream from the 4.x codebase. See the Detailed Release Notes section for the full details.
Compatibility Issues
JBossAS 5.0.0.CR2 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:

    * jbossws-native-saaj.jar
    * jbossws-native-jaxrpc.jar
    * jbossws-native-jaxws.jar
    * jbossws-native-jaxws-ext.jar

The other option is to download the jdk6 distribution (jboss-5.0.0.CR2-jdk6.zip) in which case no configuration changes are required. 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:

    * ORB getting prematurely destroyed when using Sun JDK 6 (see Sun Bug ID: 6520484)
    * Unimplemented methods in Hibernate for JDK6 interfaces.
    * When JBossAS 5 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 5 is still in experimental stage.

Other compatibility issues:

    * All the *-beans.xml configuration files have been renamed to *-jboss-beans.xml to avoid conflicts with spring configuration files.
    * For mod_cluster integration you will have to use the workaround described in JBAS-5966 until the tomcat service mbean descriptor is converted to an MC bean descriptor.
    * JBoss VFS provides a set of different switches to control it's internal behavior. JBoss AS sets jboss.vfs.forceCopy=true by default. To see all the provided VFS flags check out the code of the VFSUtils.java class. 
    * Hibernate-core is now using slf4j-api as a logging facade. To properly integrate that in JBossAS we have created an slf4j-to-jboss-logging adapter (slf4j-jboss-logging.jar) that creates a static binding between sl4j and jboss-logging-spi . The jboss-logging default implementation is configured to use log4j. See JBAS-5519.
    * The client/jbossall-client.jar library that used to bundle the majority of jboss client libraries, is now referencing them instead through the Class-Path manifest entry. This allows swapping included libraries (e.g. jboss-javaee.jar) without having to re-package jbossall-client.jar. On the other hand, it requires that you have jbossall-client.jar together with the other client/*.jar libraries, so they can be found. See JBAS-4355.
    * If using proprietary JBoss/EJB3 annotations, those have moved (since Beta4) into the org.jboss.ejb3.annotation package, EJBTHREE-1099. Those are now included in a new artifact, jboss-ejb3-ext-api.jar
    * Interoperating with previous JBoss EJB3 implementations may present problems due to serialVersionUIDs issues, EJBTHREE-1118.
    * Use of JBoss Cache 2.x. JBC 2.x has a significantly different API from the 1.x releases used in JBoss AS 4.x and 3.2.x.
    * @EJB injections should now work from servlets, JBAS-5646.
    * The ClassPathExtension MBean has been replaced with a VFS classloader definition, see JBAS-5446.

For strict JavaEE compatibility compliance you can:

    * Enable call-by-value in deployers/ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml
      true 
    * Enable call-by-value for "jboss:service=Naming" in conf/jboss-service.xml
      true
    * Set the following system property in your startup script
      -Dorg.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true

Configuration Issues

This section lists changes that could affect the server configuration.

                + lib/ - the same static library jars

Various configuration issues:

    * Use of the jboss.jgroups.udp.mcast_port property to control easy configuration of multicast port, JBAS-2395
    * Overriding of ra.xml properties in jboss-ra.xml, JBAS-3343
    * Support for defining depenndencies in JCA adapters, JBAS-4508
    * Controlling command line arguments for the appClientLauncher, JBAS-5888.
    * Shutdown.sh now accepts a JNDI url, JBAS-5922.
    * DeleteWorkDirOnContextDestroy property for JSP pages, JBAS-5453.
    * The clustering configurations have been organized in the deploy dir in a new cluster subfolder (JBAS-4709).
    * A separate cache is now used for Clustered SSO (JBAS-4676).
    * Per webapp configuration of useJK, snapshot mode and snapshot interval (JBAS-3460). Default for useJK is whether jvmRoute is set (JBAS-4961).
    * Total replication (rather than buddy replication) is the default setting for session replication (JBAS-5085).
    * The transaction manager configuration has moved from conf/jboss-service.xml to deploy/transaction-service.xml (JBAS-5103).
    * The default conf/jboss-log4j.xml configuration now includes the thread name for entries in log/server.log (JBAS-5274).
    * All the security related configuration files are now grouped under the deploy/security directory (JBAS-5318).
    * Loopback is now set to true for all JGroups UDP stacks (JBAS-5323).

EJB3 configuration  is now controlled by deployers/ejb3.deployer/META-INF/ejb3-deployers-jboss-beans.xml. For more details check out this wiki page.

For security related configuration changes, please consult this wiki page.
For clustering related changes, check out the Wiki for more info.
Other Issues

    * The Farm service is removed. Distributed deployments will eventually be handled by the AS 5 Profile Service, with the Profile Service (or JBoss ON) coordinating deployments across the cluster from a centralized repository. The Farm Service's function of replicating deployment archives between file systems will not be maintained.
    * The JSR77 view of the server is not implemented yet.
    * Bootstrap time has improved compared to AS5 CR1, but it still somewhat slower when compared to the 4.2.x series. This is due to multiple passes of annotation processing from different subsystems. This will be eventually reduced to a single pass.
    * JBoss should now be able to start when JBOSS_HOME contains spaces, JBAS-5796.
