Chapter 1 Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Release Notes

These release notes contain important information about the Sun JavaTM System Web Server 7.0 release. These notes address new features and enhancements, installation notes, known problems, and other late-breaking issues. Read this document before you begin using the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 (Web Server 7.0).

These release notes contain the following sections:

What's New in Web Server 7.0

Web Server 7.0 is a major new release with significant enhancements in the Administration Infrastructure. In addition, Web Server can now be configured to run as a 64–bit application on the SolarisTM, SPARC® and AMD64 platforms.

Web Server 7.0 provides comprehensive command-line interface support, consolidated configuration, enhanced security with elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) support, and clustering support. It also comes with a robust built-in migration tool that helps migrate applications and configurations from Web Server 6.0 and Web Server 6.1 to Sun Java System Web Server 7.0.

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 implements many new features.

JMX Based Management Infrastructure

Web Server 7.0 management infrastructure is based on modern distributed Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology. The JMX provides the tools for building distributed, web-based, modular and dynamic solutions for managing and monitoring devices, applications, and service-driven networks. JMX helps manage and monitor across clustered Web Server deployments.

Redesigned Administration Server Interface

The Administration Server is a specially configured Web Server instance on which the administration applications are deployed. An administration server runs on each node in the server farm. Of these servers, one server is configured to be the master server (Administration Server) and the rest are configured to be slave servers. Each of the slave servers is referred to as an Administration Node.

The HTML driven administration server is redesigned to make common tasks easier to access and complex tasks easier to accomplish.

New features in the Administration Server are as follows:

  • Web-based wizards for performing the most common tasks

  • Enhanced command-line interface (CLI) support for server configuration and administration tasks

  • Administration Node to manage remote Web Server instances

  • Centralized configuration store

  • Support for deploying Web Server configuration information on multiple machines (nodes). This feature extends to support Web Server in a server farm (clusters).

  • Built-in management and monitoring of server clusters

Command-Line Interface Support

The Web Server 7.0 command-line interface supports configuration and administration of the server, thus ensuring easy manageability.

The key features of administration CLI are as follows:

  • Embedded Java Command Language (JACL) shell for scripting

  • Extensible CLI, which means, more commands can be added to the CLI by using the third-party plug-ins if required

  • Support for both remote mode and local mode of execution of commands for configuration, lifecycle, runtime maintenance, and runtime monitoring of the administration server

  • Auto completion of commands when you type one or more character followed by a tab key

  • Elegant CLI-based operational modes including single mode, shell mode, and file mode

N1 Grid Container (Service Provisioning Support)

Web Server 7.0 is integrated with N1TM Grid Service Provisioning Server 5.2 (N1GSP). N1GSP is an application provisioning tool that eliminates the need for custom scripts. With the integration of Web Server with N1GSP, as an administrator, you do not need to write custom scripts for installing multiple Web Servers in a datacenter environment or in a server farm.

Consolidated Configuration Files

Configuration files in Web Server 7.0 are rearranged and consolidated to simplify administration.

In the earlier versions of Web Server, the configuration files in userdb were shared by all instances, while the information contained in these files was often instance specific. In Web Server 7.0, the configuration files from userdb directory are removed. Their functionality is incorporated into the server.xml file in the config directory. Configuration files from the alias and httpacl directories are moved into config directory. These changes consolidate instance-specific configuration information within the instance-specific config directory.

Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0 Support

Web Server 7.0 includes a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM) compliant implementation of the Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM) 2.0 specifications. Web Server 7.0 web container provides the flexibility and reliability needed to design and deploy web applications that comply with Java technology standards.

Servlets provide a component-based, platform-independent method for building web-based applications, without the performance limitations of CGI programs. JSP technology is an extension of the servlet technology that supports authoring of HTML and XML pages with dynamic content.

For information about these technologies, see the following resource at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html

JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) 1.1 and Java Server Faces 1.1 Support

The JavaServerTM Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) 1.1 provides custom tags that encapsulate core functionality common to many Web applications. JSTL provides support for structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization tags, SQL tags, and commonly used functions.

Web Server 7.0 supports JavaServer Faces technology. JavaServer Faces simplifies building user interfaces for JavaServer applications.

For information about these technologies, see the following resource:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html

JNDI Support

The Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) provides seamless connectivity to heterogeneous enterprise naming and directory services.

Java Database Connectivity and Connection Pooling Support

Web Server provides out-of-the-box, seamless Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBCTM), and supports a wide range of industry-standard and customized JDBC drivers.

Web Server 7.0 supports JDBC connection pooling that is a group of reusable connections for a particular database. Because creating each new physical connection is time consuming, the server maintains a pool of available connections to increase performance. When an application requests a connection, it obtains a connection from the pool. When an application closes a connection, the connection is returned to the pool.

For information about creating JDBC connection pools, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator's Guide.

Java SE 5.0 and 6.0 Support

Web Server 7.0 supports the 32–bit version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 5.0 and Java SE 6.0. For the 64-bit version of Web Server, the 64–bit version of Java Development Kit (JDKTM) software support is available. The 64–bit version of Web Server is currently supported only on the Solaris Operating System.

Web Server 7.0 with the default installation option installs the co-packaged JDK version 1.5.0_09 software along with the Web Server. You can choose any other certified JDK version either during the installation or after the installation of Web Server.

To use the JDK version 1.6.0, download the software from the following location:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Integrated Java Web Services Developer Pack 2.0 Technologies

Java Web Services Developer Pack 2.0 (JWSDP 2.0) XML technologies are included with Web Server 7.0. The web service developed on JWSDP can be deployed on Web Server 7.0 as a web application by using the wadm command.

Web Sever 7.0 provides support for security features such as XML Encryption, XML Digital Signature, and support for message security provider.

For more information about JWSDP 2.0, see http://java.sun.com/webservices/jwsdp/index.jsp.

The JWSDP 2.0 samples are located at http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/2.0_preview_webservicespack.html. These samples can be deployed on Web Server 7.0.

Session Replication Support

Web Server 7.0 supports the cluster-based session replication and failover. The purpose of session failover is to provide high availability to web applications. High availability of web applications is achieved by replicating HTTP sessions from one instance to another server instance of the same server cluster. That is, each HTTP session has a backup copy on a remote instance. In the event of server failure that renders one instance in the cluster unavailable, the cluster still maintains session continuity.

URI Redirect Support Based on Regular Expression

Web Server 7.0 is enhanced to support regular expressions (also known as “patterns”) and request time parameter interpolation in configuration files. In addition, wildcard pattern-matching support is extended to server.xml. URL redirecting is implemented as Server Application Function (SAF) in Web Server 7.0. The redirect SAF lets you redirect URIs that match a certain prefix. (A URI is the part of the URL a web browser sends in its HTTP request.) You specify that prefix with the from parameter and the URL to redirect to with either the url or url-prefix parameters. In Web Server 7.0, the from parameter is optional. If from is omitted, all URIs are redirected.

In the obj.conf file, SAF parameters are supported with new <If>, <ElseIf>, and <If> tags. These tags contain directives. Using these tags, you can define conditions under which the directives are executed. These tags can also be used to dynamically generate SAF parameters.

Unlike Apache's mod_rewrite function, the <If> tag provides the following flexibilities:

  • Can manipulate URI, path, header fields, and response bodies

  • Works at any stage of request processing

  • Works with any SAF, including third-party plug-ins

For more information about regular expressions and URL rewrite functions, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator's Guide.

Extensive Real-Time Monitoring Support

In addition to the monitoring facilities in earlier versions of Web Server, Web Server 7.0 adds the following monitoring enhancements:

  • Monitor Servlet, JSP, and JSTL container characteristics

  • Monitor process and virtual server statistics from within the Administration Server

  • Integrates with the Java Enterprise System Monitoring Framework (Java ES-MF), which makes Web Server 7.0 monitoring information available within the Java ES-MF

  • Can access monitoring data as Message Beans (MBeans) by using JConsole, JES-MF, or any JMX compliant client applications

Integrated Reverse Proxy Plug-in and FastCGI Plug-in Support

Reverse Proxy and FastCGI plug-ins are integrated with Web Server 7.0. These plug-ins can be executed as internal modules. In Web Server 6.1, these plug-ins had to be downloaded separately and installed.

Web Server 7.0 provides GUI and CLI support for configuring the reverse proxy plug-in.

Enhanced Security

Web Server 7.0 supports a wide variety of technologies that enable data encryption and validation, request authentication, and server process protection. Key security feature enhancements include the following:

  • Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection enhancements

  • Cross-site scripting protection through the native sed(1)-based input filtering

  • Web Services Security:

    • IETF XML Digital Signature

    • W3C XML Encryption

  • Integrated the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) support

  • WebDAV access control

  • The LDAP auth-db is enhanced to make search expressions and match attributes configurable

  • Enhancements to LDAP interaction and Microsoft Active Directory Interoperability

  • Support for migration of certificate (JKS) from Apache or Tomcat

  • Support for dynamically applied Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Support

Sun Java System Web Server has always supported RSA keys. In addition to the continued support for RSA keys, Web Server 7.0 introduces support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

ECC is the next generation of public-key cryptography for mobile or wireless environments. ECC is based on a set of algorithms for key generation, encryption, and decryption for performing asymmetric cryptography.

Important features of ECC are as follows:

  • Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes. This means faster computations and lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings.

  • ECC operates on elliptic curves. You must pick a curve and a key length. Curves are standardized and given names by various organizations: NIST, ANSI, SECG. These standards include the key length so that in practice you only need to pick one of the predefined curve names. Web Server 7.0 supports all the curves currently specified.

For more information on how to use ECC in Web Server, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7 Administrator's Guide.

NetBeans 5.0 and 5.5 Support

Web Server 7.0 provides plug-ins to integrate with the NetBeansTM Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for deploying and debugging web applications. NetBeans is a complete development environment to create Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) based web applications with the standard components.

In addition to the deployment of web applications, the plug-in also provides support for the following activities:

  • Manage instances, such as start or stop server instances

  • Enable or disable applications

  • Create server wide resources, such as JDBC resources and JDBC connection pools

For information about NetBeans, see http://www.netbeans.org/kb/index.html.

For more information about using NetBeans with Web Server, see http://webserver.netbeans.org.

Sun Java Studio Enterprise Support

Web Server 7.0 supports Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1. Sun Java Studio technology is Sun's powerful, extensible, integrated development environment (IDE) for Java technology developers. Sun Java Studio 8.1 is based on NetBeans software, and integrated with the Sun Java platform.

The plug-in for the Web Server can be obtained in the following ways:

  • From the companion CD in the Sun Java System Web Server Media Kit

  • By using the companion AutoUpdate feature of Sun Java Studio

  • From the download center for Sun Java System Web Server

Note –

Sun Java Studio 8.1 plug-in for Web Server 7.0 works only with a local Web Server. That is, the IDE and the Web Server must have been installed on the same machine.

For information about using the web application features in Sun Java Studio 8.1, see the tutorial at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/learning/tutorials/#jse8.

6432106 

Sun Java System Portal Server search throws exception after Web Server upgrade.

The Portal Server search functionality throws an exception when upgrading Web Server from Java ES 4 to Java ES 5.  

Workaround:

Note –

Move the existing libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll library files to an appropriate location, somewhere outside the Web Server's private directories. After the Portal Server libraries are in a suitable location, that path must be specified for the <libdb-3.3.dll path>:<libdb_java-3.3.dll path> in the following commands.

On the Windows platform, perform the following steps: 

  1. Copy the libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll files from Web Server 6.1 lib directory to an appropriate location.

    Caution – Caution –

    Do not copy the library files to Web Server 7.0 private directories, for example, lib directory.

  2. Create the portal_libraries directory.

  3. Copy the library files libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll to portal_libraries.

  4. Use the wadm command to inform the Web Server about the location of the library files.

  5. Obtain the current native library path setting:

    get-jvm-prop -user=admin --config=hostname native-library-path-prefix

  6. Save the output.

  7. Append the copied libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll path to the existing native library path:

    set-jvm-prop --config=hostname native-library-path-prefix=<existing native library-path>:</portal-libraries-path>

    portal-libraries-path is the location of where you copied the libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so files in Step 1.

    If you do not get any results or output for the get-jvm-prop command, set the native-library-path-prefix parameter:

    native-library-path-prefix=</portal-libraries-path>

    Note –

    Use ';' as the separator for the native-library-path-prefix parameter as follows:

    native-library-path-prefix=<existing native libarary path>;<portal-libraries-path>

    For non-Windows platform, use the ':' as the separator for native-library-path-prefix parameter as follows:

    native-library-path-prefix=<existing native libarary path>:<portal-libraries-path>

  8. Deploy the modified configuration:

    deploy-config [--user=admin-user] config-name

6425144 

wadm does not update classpath correctly if classpath contains semicolon “;”.

When you set the classpath by using the wadm.bat file, if the classpath contains a semicolon, the full classpath is not updated in the server.xml file. Only the path before semicolon “;” is updated.

Workaround: Use one of the following workarounds.

  • Use the escape character “\” before the semicolon.

  • Use wadm in single mode.

6364924 

A node can be registered to multiple admin servers which may cause a configuration conflict.

You can register a node to a second administration server without canceling the registration with the first administration server. However, this registration leads to the nodes becoming inaccessible to both the administration servers. 

Workaround:

On each registration, restart the Administration Node. The Administration Node is available to the most recent Administration Server to which it has been registered. 

6379125 

wadm allows connecting to node, shows a cert and then throws a HTTP 400 error.

Web Server node uses the same JMX connector as the administration server that is registered at the same URI as an administration server. A certificate is thrown as part of the SSL handshake and the execution has not yet reached the node. Web Server is unable to determine if the connection is from a client or an administration server. 

4793938 

User and password dialog presented instead of directory index.

By default, Web Server 7.0 does not send a directory index unless the user has been authenticated. Attempting to access a directory prompts the user to type a user name and password. This user is prompted because the default Access Control List (ACL) in Web Server 7.0 grants the list access right only to authenticated users. 

Workaround:

You can grant the list access right to unauthenticated users by using the Admin Console or by editing the default.acl file. For more information about how to grant the list access right, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator’s Guide.
