Apache River
v2.1.2 Release Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache River is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF
projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project
has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
Apache River is aimed at the development and advancement of the River
technology core infrastructure. River technology is a service oriented
architecture that defines a programming model which both exploits and
extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure,
distributed systems which are adaptive to change.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes of Interest for this Release
This second release from the Apache River project is based on the
contributions of Sun's Jini Technology Starter Kit (Starter Kit) v2.1
and Service UI from Artima. The release focuses on merging the two
contributions together, structuring separate src and bin releases, and
amending the source and documentation naming/versioning/etc to the
Apache River project.
Some points of note:
* NOTICE file and source license headers updated
* Source and documentation updated for release name ("Apache River
release") and version ("v2.1.2")
* Graphical installer (which was a 3rd party application in the
Starter Kit) is no longer available
* The combined source and binary release in the Starter Kit has been
separated into two releases: src and bin
* The "logstore" implementation of com.sun.jini.outrigger.Store has
been removed
The persistent version of Outrigger relies on a pluggable
persistence layer, |com.sun.jini.outrigger.Store|. Previous
releases of the Starter Kit included two implementations of the
Store interface, /logstore/ and /snaplogstore/. This release
removes logstore.
Logstore has been around in various forms since the 1.0 version of
Outrigger. Snapstore was introduced in v2.1 of the Starter Kit.
The v2.0.n releases of the Starter Kit used logstore as the
default Store implementation, this release has no default Store.
In order to switch an existing set of configuration files,
security policy files, etc., from using logstore to snaplogstore,
you will need to change the |com.sun.jini.outrigger.store|
configuration entry (or add a store configuration entry if you
don't already have one) to yield a
|com.sun.jini.outrigger.snaplogstore.LogStore| object. You will
also need to ensure that |outrigger-snaplogstore.jar| has been
granted sufficient permissions (see Outrigger's package
documentation for a sample security policy file.).
Note that depending on the nature of your application snaplogstore
can have a significantly different performance profile than logstore.
The storage formats used by snaplogstore and logstore are mutually
incompatible.
