# JBoss 5.0.0.CR1 Release Notes

This is the first Candidate Release release of the JBoss 5.0.x series for the Java EE™ 5 codebase! This release almost completes the Java EE5 conformance testing certification requirements, however note that only the final GA version will be declared as conformant.

Some important changes relative to the last Beta4 release has been the further breaking out of internal subsystems into independent projects most prominent of which is the breaking out of the EJB3 project and its many dependencies. Those changes should not affect directly the end user but they are an important part of the JBoss strategy of making available the various EE services as independent projects, so that they can be wired-together and be consumed ala-cart 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.

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 5.0.0.CR1 and demonstrates many interesting technologies is the Seam Booking Application available here. This application makes use of the following technologies running on JBoss 5:

- EJB3

- Stateful Session Beans
- Stateless Session Beans
- JPA (w/ Hibernate validation)

- JSF

- Facelets
- Ajax4JSF

- Seam

The JBoss Seam Wiki 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, JAXWS-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-4383, a facility for changing the default JSF implementation.
- JBAS-5119, the default classloader used in JBoss in now the VFS Classloader.
- JBAS-5163, listThreadDump() now shows deadlocks under a Java 6 runtime.
- JBAS-5281, a new flag to control scanning classes for ejb annotations in the war classpath
- JBAS-5329, jgroups channels sharing transports.

JBoss 5 includes numerous 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 is compiled and tested under both under Java 5 and Java 6 (JBAS-5031). The distribution is compiled with Java 5 and should be able to run without problems using a Java 6 runtime. If you still have problems starting JBoss with a Sun Java 6 runtime, you may want to set -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true, as described in JBAS-4491.
- JaasSecurityDomain has been converted to a simple bean (from an MBean), see JBAS-5356.
- 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
- Work on EJB3 Extended Persistence Context support is not completed, EJBTHREE-1026.
- 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.

## Configuration Issues

This section lists changes that could affect the server configuration.

The directory structure of JBoss 5 resembles that of the 4.x series with some notable differences:

- bin - start scripts and run.jar
- client - client jars
- docs - docs, schemas/dtds, examples
- lib - core bootstrap jars, somewhat different with the introduction of the microcontainer and breakup of jboss-common.
- server - the same server configuration dirs.
  - default configuration
    - conf
    - bootstrap-beans.xml - new mc kernel bootstrap configuration referencing other
      configuration files that contain the beans that setup each individual subsystem.
    - classloader.xml
    - aop.xml
    - jmx.xml
    - deployers.xml
    - profile-service.xml
    - jax-ws-catalog.xml - oasis catalog driven schema/dtd namespace configuration
    - jbossjta-properties.xml - new JBossTS properties
    - jboss-service.xml - legacy static mbeans for compatibility
    - jndi.properties - the same jndi props
    - log4j.xml - the same log4j config
    - login-config.xml - the same jaas login config
    - props/ - the same default jaas login properties files
    - standardjaws.xml - obsolete cmp config
    - standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml - the same cmp2 config
    - standardjboss.xml - the same ejb2 config
    - xmdesc/ - legacy xmbean descriptors
    - deploy/ - the same deploy directory.
    - deployers/ - new vdf deployers
      - bsh-deployer - beanshell deployer
      - ejb3.deployer - ejb3 deployers
      - jboss-aop-jboss5.deployer - aspect deployer
      - jboss-jca.deployer - JCA deployers
      - jbossweb.deployer - war deployers
      - jbossws.deployer - web services deployers
      - ear-deployer-beans.xml - ear deployers
      - ejb-deployer-beans.xml - ejb2.x deployers
      - metadata-deployer-beans.xml - metadata handlers
      - security-deployer-beans.xml - security deployers
      - profileservice-beans.xml.bak - an example of the repository based profile service
    - lib/ - the same static library jars

Clustering related changes. Check out the Wiki for more info.

- 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-beans.xml. For more details check out this wiki page.
For security related configuration changes, please consult this wiki page.

## Other Issues

- Problems with deploying Seam applications against AS5.0.0.Beta4 have been resolved. Now the Seam examples are deployed as part of the standard JBoss AS testsuite, JBAS-5190.
- The Hibernate deployer (.har) is again operational, JBAS-5232.
- Hot undeployment on Windows (i.e. removing files from the ./deploy directory) have been been fixed, JBAS-4310.
- Issues with hot deployment of .jars have also been fixed, JBAS-4220.
- 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 HASingletonDeploymentScanner that monitors and deploys content from deploy-hasingleton directory is working again, JBAS-5686.
- The JSR77 view of the server is not implemented yet.
- There is a noticeable delay (10-15secs) in the start-up time of the application server, 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.
