What's New

Application Server 9.1 Beta 2 (Glassfish)

The Application Server Beta 2 release (Glassfish) builds on the quality and feature-rich Beta 1 to provide higher value add features for the enterprise. The Application Server 9.1 Beta 2 features inlcude clustering, in-memory replication, more improvements to the Grizzly-based HTTP engine, enhanced administrative functionality, improved self management capabilities, update center functionality that allows installation and/or updates of additional components, and much much more.

Update Center Usage

When the Update Center is enabled, it performs an automated software update. During this automated update process, the Update Center collects and transmits the following data to Sun Microsystems (or its service provider):

  • Unique installation ID (GUID)
  • IP address
  • Operating system information (name, version, architecture, locale)
  • JDK version
  • Module download information (module name, date, time, status, download time, number of bytes downloaded)

No personally identifiable information is tracked. No personally identifiable information is associated with any other data or used for reporting purposes.

To ensure explicit agreement of the automated update, the Update Center is disabled by default. To enable the Update Center to perform periodic checks and automated updates:

  1. Start the Update Center.
    On Unix: <installdir>/updatecenter/bin/updatetool
    On Windows: <installdir>\updatecenter\bin\updatetool.bat
  2. Select the Preferences tab.
  3. In the Update Scheduling window, change the Check for Updates drop-down box value from Never (Manual) to a desired value. For example, daily or weekly.
  4. Specify the desired day of the week and time of the day for the update.
  5. Select the Save button to save your changes.

The Update Center will now automatically check for SDK component updates according to the schedule specified. When an update is available, the Update Center will launch and notify you of the component available to update.

Open ESB 2.0 Beta 2

The SDK includes a subset of the functionality available from Open ESB 2.0 Beta 2, including the JBI runtime, the Java EE Service Engine, and the HTTP Binding Component. This provides Java EE developers an introduction to composite application development that uses SOA technology. The tooling for this runtime is provided through NetBeans IDE 6.0 Preview with SOA (formerly NetBeans Enterprise Pack) which is part of the SDK tools bundle.

Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Patch 1 Early Access

Access Manager provides the first identity and access management solution to extend security for Web and Java applications to federated environments and Web services security -- with a single product.

Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit 6 Update 1

The Java Platform Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK) includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and command-line development tools that are useful for developing applets and applications.

Support for NetBeans IDE 6.0 Preview

Learn how easy it is to develop Java desktop applications with the improved GUI Builder in NetBeans IDE 6.0 Preview.

    ID Description / Workaround
    6551017 Open ESB Java Application Platform SDK installations: JBI components installer recursively delete addons directory during uninstallation.

    Problems arise if the Open ESB component is selected for configuration along with other SDK components.

    Workaround: During Java Application Platform SDK installation, if OpenESB is selected for configuration in addition to other SDK components, Do not uninstall OpenESB using the Update Center Installed Software tab. Uninstalling OpenESB in this manner deletes files needed by other components affecting their functioning.
    6548198 Application Server: Unable to login to the Application Server Administration Console in the Cluster Profile after some operations.

    Workaround: Restart the server using the command-line interface, then log into the Admin Console.

    6543014 Cannot display jmaki chart in Netscape 8.1.3, Mozilla 1.7 and Safari 2.0.4 browsers.

    The following error is displayed: 
    Error loading jmaki.widgets.jmaki

Script: http://easqelx5.red.iplanet.com:4848/
resources/jmaki/charting/line/
component.js (line:5437).
Message: area.initialize is not a function

    Workaround: The charting display is fine using Internet Explorer 6 & 7, and Firefox 2.0.
    6487340 Access Manager: Unable to set character encoding UTF-8 on Java Application Platform SDK 5 (without JDK) start up.

    Workaround: A warning is issued according to the servlet specification. The javadocs of javax.servlet.ServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding() indicates:

    Overrides the name of the character encoding used in the body of this request. This method must be called prior to reading request parameters or reading input using getReader(). Otherwise, it has no effect.

    A webapp is calling this method after the request has moved to a state where this method is not supposed to have any effect. This will be fixed in the next release.
    6478989 Access Manager: JSR client provider (validateResponse) is getting invoked after the application validates

    Workaround: In Java EE 5 projects (JAX-WS embedded clients), the interception of JSR196 client provider for "validateResponse" is happening before the JAX-WS SOAP client validates the SOAP message. Will be fixed in next release.
    6475928 On Windows, remove system tray icon during SDK uninstallation.

    Workaround: The SDK uninstaller currently does remove shortcut for tray icon from the Startup menu. Consequently, the tray icon will dissapear if user logs off and back on and the desktop is restarted.

    The classes12 and ojdbc14 drivers does not support prepared statement metadata calls. Use data direct drivers for oracle.
