RiftSaw Release 2.1.0.CR2

The RiftSaw team is pleased to announce the release of 2.1.0.CR2.

This is a bug fix release.

The main change with this release is the migration to the pure JPA persistence layer from the native Hibernate layer. Moving to the JPA persistence layer has resolved a number of long standing bugs.

Hibernate is still used as the JPA provider. However to align the database schema with the ODE community project, it has been necessary to make some schema changes. Therefore it will be necessary to drop the current database (or simply
remove the $AS/server/default/data folder). This JPA work is being contributed back to the ODE project, and should be available in ODE 1.4.

The other main change is the simplification of the ESB examples, both in terms of how they are run, and also in terms of their complexity. Previously the primary ESB/Riftsaw example was too complex, making it difficult to use and follow. Instead this has been replaced by a couple of new simpler examples that demonstrate the specific integration points between JBossESB and RiftSaw.

RiftSaw Release 2.1.0.CR1

The RiftSaw team is pleased to announce the release of 2.1.0.CR1.

This is primarily a bug fix release, with additional support for configuring the Apache CXF web service endpoints used by a BPEL process.

WS-Security features, supported by Apache CXF, can now be configured for RiftSaw when the jboss-cxf Web Service stack is installed. The User Guide provides information on how to include the CXF based configuration with the BPEL deployment, and there are some quickstarts available to demonstrate username and digital signature authentication.

JAX-WS handlers can now be installed to intercept/observe messages sent and returned from the web service representing a BPEL process.

The version of ODE used by RiftSaw has been updated to ODE 1.3.4.

NOTE: Database schema changes occurred when moving to the ODE 1.3.4 release. If you have a previous version of RiftSaw installed, then you will need to drop the existing tables (or delete the database), before installing and running this version of RiftSaw.

The detailed report for this release can be found at:
