first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
Changes since Apache JServ 1.1.1:
Apache JServ 1.1.2 - 17 June 2000
(Jon S. Stevens, Henner Zeller, Jean-Luc Rochat)
change the allowed host for the jserv status page (/jserv/) from 'localhost'
to '127.0.0.1'. localhost does not work, if HostnameLookups isn't enabled in
httpd.conf or on badly configured systems (Default Redhat installation without
hostname used to have localhost.localdomain in its /etc/hosts which doesn't
match 'localhost'). So using the IP address here will work better in many
cases ..(HZ)
fixed some issues with load balancing and uneven distribution of servers as a
result of those that are marked as down. thanks to Christos Zoulas (JSS).
Fixed Bug Id: mod_jserv/6108 JservSessionId is not found in Query -> Load
balancing fails when cookies are not used Thanks to Jerome Waibel. (JLR)
allow ApJServEnvVar to work in virtual hosts (useful with SSL). Thanks to
Antonio Merighi for the fix. (JLR)
Fixed Bug Id: mod_jserv/6087 encoding should be ISO-8859-1 instead of ISO8859_1
Thanks to tim.landscheidt@gmx.de. (JSS)
class reloader session serialization hack: fix bug where the hashtable might
not have been sent through serialization, but is expected. (JSS)
Fixed Bug Id: mod_jserv/6074 JServ RPM packaging not complete Thanks to
apeac@byu.edu. (HZ)
minor documentation fix in how.to.security.html. An example was false when
it should have been true. Thanks to George Armhold. (JSS)
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
Apache JServ 1.1.1 - 18 May 2000
(Jon S. Stevens, Henner Zeller)
* various RPM related changes to improve the process. Uses the latest
version of the OSS JSDK library now.
* Prevent NPE when the classloader is not properly created as a result of
incorrect setup. Give a big list of things to check as an error
message. (JSS)
* The jserv.properties and zone.properties files can now "include=" other
properties files by specifying the full path to the other properties
files. (JSS)
* The apache configuration file (Makefile.config) contains the
information OSDIR, this tells where to look for specific includes, but
jserv used a fixed path instead. Thanks to Jean-Frdric Clre. (JSS)
* Fixed a problem in the INSTALL documentation for building DSO. Thanks
to Manoj for noticing this. (JSS)
* Fixed Bug Id: mod_jserv/6099 Problem with serialization of sessions on
class reload Thanks to Babak Kunze. (JSS)
* Fixed possible problem with SessionID-uniqness on servers with heavy
load (HZ)
Apache JServ 1.1.1b1 - 11 April 2000
(Stefano Mazzocchi, Jon Stevens, Craig McClanahan, Jean-Luc Rochat, Ed
Korthof, Pierpaolo Fumagalli, Bernie Bernstein, others...)
* Win32 errors fixed (added WinSock 2 and removed bug in generated
jserv.conf) Thanks to punkytse@geocities.com (PF)
* Patchs to get jserv running on an BS2000 (EBCDIC mainframe from
Siemens), along with several bug fixes. Integrated a proposed patch to
solve Jserv polling interval, defunct JVM. Thanks to Jean-Frédéric
Clère (JSS)
* Added jserv_shmedit utility for modifying the shared memory file used
in load balancing Thanks to Christos Zoulas (JLR)
* extend ajpv12 : allow dynamic configuration of environment variables
that can be sent to JServ (or Tomcat). Adds a new parameter :
ApJServEnvVar localvarname remotevarname Will allow more flexible
configuration (thanks to Ben Laurie and Aaron Stromas for pushing
ideas). creates a new parameter : ApJServVMInterval (JServ polling
frequency) that will be used to distinguish the VM timeout/VM test
frequency.(JLR)
* Fixed issues with SSL environment variable passing (JLR)
* Fixed bug when I access the servlet via Apache the getRequestURI
returns the URI and the query strings. Thanks to Freddie Mendoza (JSS)
* fix for remote_host lookup. you have to have HostNameLookup On in the
httpd.conf file for this to work properly. Thanks to Tyler Morrison
(JSS)
* fixed potential buffer overflow in jserv_balance. thanks to JSS for the
find (JLR)
* solved (at least I think) the double initialization (Unix) due to
Apache defensive startup. We now start the JVM only in the 2nd pass.
This works well if you take care to set the : ApJServVMTimeout value in
jserv.conf big enough to start & initialize the servlet engine +
servlets loaded at startup. This value is for me 10 seconds to start
Tomcat, JServ works with 4. (JLR)
* Fixed Bug Id: mod_jserv/5889 (jar files created with a ./org/ vs. org/)
Thanks to Ian Darwin. (JSS)
* AdaptiveClassLoader, now allows access to the lastModifiedTime of the
.class file and also allows you to pass in a class loader in the
constructor. Thanks to Adam Heath. (JSS)
* Fixed issues with using a wildcard in the repositories. Thanks to Mike
Jennings. (JSS)
* fix for issues with loading resources from zip files. Thanks to Joel
Bartley. (JSS)
* fix for filtering of addresses. it actually can be null if the
security.allowedAddress=DISABLED Thanks to dan wilks. (JSS)
* Fixed issue when bindaddress is "*", I ran into a problem where running
JServ -s do to a clean stop of the JServ process wouldn't work. The
problem as far as I can tell is that "bindTo" returns null when
bindaddress is "*." Thanks to bill odonnell. (JSS)
* Fixed bug where backlog= setting was being used for the maxconnections.
(JSS)
* It was possible to be thrown a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException from
HttpUtils.parseQueryString(), so we updated its callers to catch it.
This happened when a query string contained a '%' as one of the last
two characters. (BB)
* RH 6.2 has a default apache installation with --enable-EAPI so build
with it enabled in the .spec file (JSS)
* Added new feature to allow people to set the domain= portion of a
session cookie. (JSS)
BTW, the JServ jar does not go in ${PREFIX}/lib/java as it is a private
implementation of the interfaces from jsdk.jar and should not be used
directly. Should it turn out that packages are using it directly, it
will be moved.
1.) Apache Server 1.3.9 or higher is now needed
2.) Build with the Apache EAPI (--enable-EAPI), now that mod_jserv
supports it. This should make jserv run a little smoother and
saves a truly frightening `Warning: apache may crash' warning
when loading mod_jserv
mod_jserv is a module for Apache Server which provides servlet support
using the JSDK version 2.0. It can also be used with the Jakarta
project's Tomcat servlet environment, which is the next generation of
servlet development from Sun and Apache -- see the jakarta-tomcat
package for details.
