3.4.0
* Increased the minimum supported Java version from 1.2 to 1.4.
* Removed the reflection code used to manage the Wrapper's shutdown hook.
The Runtime methods are now called normally.
* Add a note in the TestWrapper shell script to make it clear that the user
should always use the scripts in the WRAPPER_HOME/src/bin/ directory when
generating scripts for their own applications. This became more of an
issue because of changes to the TestWrapper script starting with 3.3.8.
Bug #2902843.
* (Professional) Added new WrapperManager.exec methods and a new
WrapperProcess class to allow the launching and management of child
processes through the Wrapper rather than using the standard Runtime
class. This makes it possible to clean up child processes when the
JVM crashes or is restarted, as well as solves severe memory issues with
the way processes are forked on some UNIX platforms.
* (Professional) Added a new wrapper.child.status.loglevel property to make
it easier to debug the status of child processes.
* (Professional) Added a new wrapper.child.count.interval property to control
the interval at which the number of waiting child processes is logged after
a JVM is shutdown.
* (Professional) Added a new wrapper.jvm_cleanup.timeout property to control
the amount of time that managed child processes still running after the JVM
has exited are given to shutdown before being forcibly killed.
* Fix a problem with WrapperManager.getUser() and getInteractiveUser() methods
which was preventing us from using the latest compiler on 32-bit Windows.
(The compiler used to build 32-bit Windows versions was rolled back to the
version used through the 3.3.5 release in 3.3.9 to work around the problem
that was causing these methods to always return null.) The change in this
version should not affect how the Wrapper functions.
* The old compiler used in 3.3.9 for Windows 32-bit builds was causing a false
hit on Symantec security software. The new compiler causes the Wrapper to
once again pass without any warnings.
* Added a warning while starting up the JVM which will be displayed if the
Java command in wrapper.java.command does not point to a valid java binary
file.
* [Changed the scripts and batch files to try to load the wrapper executable
according to the system, i.e. on 64-bit systems the 64bit binary of the
wrapper is attempted to be executed first and after this fails the 32 bit
gets attempted to be loaded. This behaviour is primaly useful with the
delta-pack of the wrapper.]
* Add some debug output logging the current timezone to assist supporting
time related problems.
* (Standard, Professional) Added a new wrapper.license.debug property which
will log information about the license key(s) being tested on startup.
* (Standard, Professional) Fix a problem where license validation was
failing at certain times of the day for servers with timezones east of
Japan. Development license keys which have their update times obfuscated
were not affected. This was a problem introduced in 3.3.7.
* Fixed a bug in the wrapper shell script which occured when running the script
on a Solaris within a non singlebyte locale. Bug #2910327
* Fixed a potential bug in the wrapper script where requesting a Thread Dump,
the shell is sending the wrapper console to the background and returning
with a prompt.
* Fix a problem where Java log output would sometimes get extra line feeds
when under heavy load.
* Fix a problem which was leading to a resource not found error when trying
to start a service, if it was installed on a Mapped Network Drive under
Windows.
* Added some advice messages recommending the use of UNC paths if a resource
located on a Mapped Network Drive is used in the configuration file on
Windows versions.
* (Standard, Professional) Fix a bug in the wrapper binary customization,
which occured when the source binary file was set to read only.
* Fixed a null string problem in the error message if a classpath value
wasn't found.
* (Professional) Added the option to include a logfile into the wrapper's
EmailNotification mails via wrapper.event.default.attach_log=TRUE
* Improve the message displayed when a user calls
WrapperManager.requestThreadDump() in JVM which does not have console
window on Windows. This should never be an issue when run with the Wrapper,
but can happen if running standalone without the wrapper binary.
* Update the Windows batch scripts so they now take AMD64 and IA64
architectures into account when deciding which version of the Wrapper to
run when using the delta pack.
* Update the UNIX shell script so it now does a much better job of resolving
the ideal platform bits to run the correct version of the Wrapper when using
the delta pack. Thanks to Leo Leung for the patch.
* Add install and remove commands to the UNIX shell script so it is now much
easier to install and remove the Wrapper on many UNIX plattforms to start
and stop on system startup and shutdown. Thanks to Leo Leung for the patch.
* Update the Windows batch scripts so it is now easier to change the location
of the Wrapper configuration file or rename the Wrapper binary when using
the scripts.
* Added a new QueryApp-NT.bat.in template script which can be used to query
the current running status of the service on Windows.
* (Standard, Professional) Add a new "-u" or "--update" command to the Wrapper
which allows you to effectively reinstall the Wrapper as a service without
having to provide the account credentials if the service is running as a
specific user. This is very useful for installers upgrading an application
to a new version.
* Add a new "update" command to the Windows AppCommand.bat.in batch script.
* Go through and clean up the messages displayed when controlling the Wrapper
as a service so the messages are consistent and more meaningful to the user.
* Add wrapper.wait_for_hostid and wrapper.max_hostid_timeout property.
This properties set if and how long the wrapper shall wait when starting up
until the hostid is available. This is important to make sure that server
licenses are validated correctly on UNIX platforms as the OS is booting up.
* (Professional) Fix a problem where environment variables referenced in
property values were not being expanded correctly the first time they were
referenced if the property's value was a default value. The underlying fix
was in all editions, but this was only causing a problem in the Professional
Edition where the WRAPPER_HOSTNAME variable was not being expanded in the
subject and body of emails sent out for the "wrapper_start" event if the
defaults were used.
* (Professional) Fix a problem where backslashes in the body of emails,
configured with the wrapper.event.<event_name>.email.body property, were
not being handled correctly when displaying things like paths from
environment variable references.
* Fix a problem on UNIX platforms where the Wrapper was displaying an error
about not being able to locate the configuration file when the Wrapper was
run without any arguments.
* (Standard, Professional) Improve the message shown when a License Key is not
found.
* Add a new message to the Community Edition when the user requests a HostId.
* Add WAIT_FOR_STARTED_STATUS and WAIT_FOR_STARTED_TIMEOUT to the script. This
lets the script wait (up to timeout sec.) when starting a daemonized process
until the process has been started.
Thanks to Dobes V. (Feature Requests 2917391)
* Improve the error message displayed when the user tries to run the Wrapper
with the internal -s or --service commands.
* Fix a problem where the WrapperSystemPropertyUtil.getBooleanValue() method
was not correctly returning the specified default value when the looked up
property was missing. Also added a new getStringValue() method.
* Improve the error message displayed when the user tries to install and remove
the wrapper as Service on Windows Versions after Windows Vista.
* Add an advice message when MacOSX applications launched with launchd
encounter a "Returning nil _server" error when displaying a GUI.
