This Web
Server update release introduces auto-deployment functionality that enables
you to deploy one or more web applications, just by copying them to a designated
directory. The server auto-deploys web applications that are in the form of
web archives (.war files) or in a directory in which a web archive has been
exploded.
For more information about auto-deployment feature
in Web Server, see Auto-Deploying Web Applications in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Developer’s Guide to Java Web Applications.
Features
and Enhancements in Update 2 Release
Web Server Update 2 is an update release to Web Server 7.0. In addition to the features
and enhancements in Web Server 7.0 and Web Server 7.0 Update 1 releases, Web
Server 7.0 Update 2 release brings the following value-additional features
and enhancements to the product. New features and enhancements are described
in the sections below.
PKCS11 Bypass Support
This Web Server update release introduces an option to instruct NSS
to bypass the PKCS#11 layer during parts of the SSL/TLS
processing. Bypassing the PKCS#11 layer improves performance.
By default, the PKCS#11 layer is bypassed. At the time
of server startup, the server queries each token holding a server key to verify
that each token can support PKCS#11 bypass. If any of the tokens cannot support
bypass, bypass is disabled. Therefore, no user action is required to take
advantage of the performance benefits of the PKCS#11 bypass. The server automatically
takes advantage of the bypass and automatically disables the bypass if the
token cannot be used given the current configuration.
Web Server provides CLI and Admin Console support to enable or disable
the bypass. For more information about how to enable or disable PKCS11 bypass
using the Admin Console or the CLI, see To Enable and Bypass PKCS#11 Tokens in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Service Management Facility (SMF) Support
This Web Server update release integrates with the Solaris 10 Service
Management Facility for the Java platform (SMF). SMF
is a new feature of the Solaris Operating System that creates a supported,
unified model for services and service management on each Solaris system.
It is a mechanism to define, deliver, and manage long-running application
services for Solaris. A service is defined by a service manifest, an XML file
which describes a service and any instances associated with that service.
For more information about SMF support in Web Server, see the Integrating Service Management Facility for the Java Platform with Web Server in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Asynchronous Accelerator Cache Support
This release of Web Server supports processing of requests that can
be served from the accelerator cache asynchronously thereby improves the performance
of the server. Value added features are:
-
Handle dynamic reconfiguration
-
Introduced flag AsyncAccelerator in the magnus.conf to turn off async cache.
-
Requests are serviced through asynchronous accelerator to
stats
-
Batch up access log writes when requests are serviced by asynchronous
accelerator
Enhanced Web Container
This Web Server update release introduces the ability to display the
exception stack trace or JSP compiler errors in a browser. In the earlier
releases of Web Server, when an exception occurs in the servlet container
at the request time, a "Server Error" is displayed at the client without exposing
internal application details. The exception is always logged in the error
log with or without this feature enabled.
Note –
Displaying exception stack trace or JSP compiler errors in a browser
feature is not enabled by default. You can enable this feature through set-servlet-container-prop command or through the Display Exception checkbox in the Servlet
Container tab of the Admin Console. This is useful for development purposes.
It is strongly recommended not to enable this feature in production systems.
Improved Administration Experience
Administration experience is improved in this release of Web Server
by introducing the following key features:
- Roll Back Deployed Configuration Support
-
Web Server supports rolling back of deployed configuration.
Web Server administration now enables administrators to take backups automatically
on every deployed configuration. Using the administration CLI, it is possible
to list backups and restore a specified backup.
- Support To Set Administration Server Password
-
This release of Web Server enables you to reset the administration
server's user password. However, this functionality works only locally on
the administration server's node.
- Support for Managing CA Certificates
-
Administration Console enables you to install, delete, filter
CA certificates, Cert chain, and the CRLs. Additionally, the server also warns
the users about the certificates that are about to expire.
- Registration with Sun Connection
-
You can use the Admin Console or the Update Center to register
the Web Server with Sun Connection. By registering the Web Server with Sun
Connection you receive benefits such as:
For information about the administration features, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Red Hat 4.0 64-bit Support
Support for a 64-bit standalone version of Web Server is provided in
this release. Web Server 7.0 64-bit Linux is a separate standalone only distribution
and does not coexist with Web Server 7.0 32-bit Linux. Web Server 7.0 64-bit
Linux requires 64-bit Java Development Kit 5.0 Update
12 or above. Both Administration Server and server instance are only 64-bit
server. Migration from previous releases is not supported on Web Server 7.0
64-bit for Linux.
NetBeans 6.5 IDE Support

At the time of installation, you must specify a valid path for the JDK.
To use the JDK version that is not co-packaged with the product, download
the software from the following location:
JDK version 1.6.0: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
JDK version 1.5.0: http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/jdkjre5_0/index.html
When you use JDK 1.5.0 on AIX platform,
Administration server may fail to start and displays an error message “Unable
to find/open the administration server's certificate database”. This
is due to the restricted security policy on the installed JDK and limiting
key size.
For more information about security information on SDKs, see: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/security/50/
You
can overcome this problem by downloading unrestricted security policy by clicking
on “ IBM SDK Policy files”. The downloaded zip file is unpacked
and the two JAR files are placed in the JRE directory (jre/lib/security/).
Accelerator Cache Technology
Web Server includes new accelerator cache technology that speeds the
delivery of small files. The accelerator cache is automatically enabled and
requires no configuration. For more information, see File Cache Statistics Information in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Performance Tuning, Sizing, and Scaling Guide
Administration Support for Configuring FastCGI
You can configure a
single FastCGI application using the Admin Console as
well as the Command Line Interface (CLI).You can also configure the FastCGI with
Web Server using the configuration files.
To configure multiple
FastCGI applications , see Configuring Multiple FastCGI Applications in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide
NetBeans Support
Web Server 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

Admin Console Support for Configuring Regular Expressions
Web Server provides support for writing regular expressions within the obj.conf file through the Admin Console. However, writing regular
expressions through the Admin Console is limited to the form of <If>..</If> conditions for URL redirects.
For more information on using the Admin Console for writing regular
expressions, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
GUI and CLI Support for Pattern Matching
Web Server provides support for configuring the URIs, URI prefixes,
URI wildcard patterns properties through the Admin Console and the Admin
CLI.
For more information on using the Admin Console for configuring URI
pattern properties, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
For more information on using the CLI commands for configuring URI pattern
properties, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 CLI Reference Manual.
Features and Enhancements in Web
Server 7.0 Release
Web Server can be configured to run as a 64–bit application on
the SolarisTM, SPARC® and
AMD64 platforms.
Web Server provides comprehensive command-line interface support, consolidated
configuration, enhanced security with elliptic curve cryptography 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 Web Server 7.0.
Sun Java System Web Server includes the following new features:
JMX Based Management Infrastructure
Web Server management infrastructure is based on the modern distributed Java Management Extensions (JMXTM) technology.
JMX technology provides tools for building distributed, web-based, modular
and dynamic solutions for managing and monitoring devices, applications, and
service-driven networks. JMX helps to manage and monitor instances, configurations,
and web applications 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 instance
runs on each node in the server farm. Of these nodes, one node is configured
to be the Administration Server and the rest are configured to be Administration
Nodes.
The web-based Administration Server is redesigned to make common tasks
easier to access and complex tasks easier to accomplish.
The Administration Server includes the following new features:
-
Web-based wizards for performing most common tasks
-
Comprehensive command-line interface (CLI) support for server
configuration and server administration tasks
-
Centralized configuration store
-
Support for deploying Web Server configuration information
on multiple machines. This feature extends to support Web Server in a server
farms and clusters.
-
Built-in management and monitoring of server clusters
For more information on using the administration interface to perform
administrative tasks, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Command-Line Interface Support
The command-line interface enables you to easily configure and administer
the server.
The administration CLI has the following key features:
-
Embedded Java Command Language (jacl) shell for scripting
-
Extensible CLI, which enables you to add more commands by
using the third-party plug-ins
-
Support for local and remote administration, configuration,
and management of one or more server instances
-
Automatically completes commands when you type one or more
characters and then press a tab key
-
Easy-to-use CLI-based operational modes including single mode,
shell mode, and file mode
For more information on the commands, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 CLI Reference Manual.
Sun N1 Service Provisioning System Support
Web Server is integrated with Sun N1TM Service
Provisioning Server 5.2. Sun N1 Service Provisioning System is an application
provisioning tool that eliminates the need for custom scripts. With the integration
of Web Server with Sun N1 Service Provisioning System, 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 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, configuration
files from the 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 the config directory.
These changes consolidate instance-specific configuration information within
the instance-specific config directory.
For information about the configuration files, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.
JNDI Support
The Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (J.N.D.I.)
API 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), technology and supports a wide
range of industry-standard and customized JDBC drivers.
Web Server supports JDBC connection pooling, that is, a group of reusable
connections for a particular database. Because creating each new 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 on creating JDBC connection pools, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Enhanced
Hardware Accelerator Encryption Support
Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 provides hardware accelerator support
for Sun TM Crypto Accelerator 4000 and 6000
boards, which enhance the performance of SSL on web server.
Note –
Initialize the Sun Crypto Accelerator card when using with web
server. For more information about Sun Crypto Accelerator, see Sun Crypto
Accelerator 6000 Board Version 1.1 User's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4144-11/.
Integrated Java Web Services Developer Pack 2.0 Technologies
Web Server includes Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) 2.0
and XML technologies. Web services developed by using Java WSDP can be deployed
on Web Server as a web application by using the wadm command.
Web Server 7.0 provides support for security features such as XML Encryption,
XML Digital Signature, and support for message security provider.
For more information on Java WSDP 2.0, see the following resource:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/jwsdp/index.jsp
Java WSDP 2.0 samples are located at the following location. These samples
can be deployed on Web Server 7.0.
http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/2.0_preview_webservicespack.html
Lightweight Session Replication Support
Web Server supports cluster-based session replication and failover.
Session replication and failover provides high availability to web applications
by replicating HTTP sessions from one server instance to another in the same
server cluster. Because each HTTP session has a backup copy on a remote instance,
a server failure that renders one instance in the cluster unavailable does
not disturb session continuity.
For more information on Light Weight Session Replication support, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
URL Redirection and Rewriting with Regular Expressions
Web Server 7.0 introduces enhanced support for regular expressions and
conditional processing in the obj.conf configuration file.
Key enhancements include the following:
-
Support for regular expressions
-
A restart Server Application Function (SAF)
for restarting requests with a new URI
-
Support for dynamic SAF parameters that include expressions,
variables, regular expression back references
-
<If>, <ElseIf>,
and <Else> tags for conditional processing
-
Support for complex conditions that use and, or, and notoperators
-
sed-request and sed-response filters
for rewriting request and response bodies
You can use these new features to define flexible URL rewriting and
redirection rules such as those possible with mod_rewrite from
the Apache HTTP server. Unlike mod_rewrite, regular expressions
and conditional processing in Web Server 7.0 can be used at any stage of request
processing, even with third-party plug-ins.
For more information on regular expressions and URL rewrite functions,
see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.
Extensive Real-Time Monitoring Support
In addition to the monitoring facilities in earlier versions of Web
Server, Web Server adds the following enhancements:
-
Monitors Servlets, JSPs, and JavaServer Pages Standard Tag
Library container characteristics
-
Monitors process and virtual server statistics from within
the Administration Server
-
Integrates with System Management Agent on the Solaris 10
platform. Integrates with the Java Enterprise System Monitoring Framework
(Java ES Monitoring Framework) that makes Web Server monitoring information
available within the Java ES Monitoring Framework.
-
Accesses monitoring data as Management Beans (MBeans) using
the Java Monitoring and Management Console (jconsole) script,
Java ES Monitoring Framework or any Java Management Extensions (JMX) compliant
client applications.
For more information on Monitoring feature in Web Server, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Integrated Reverse Proxy
The Sun Java System
Web Server 7.0 integrates the reverse proxy functionality within the core
server.
When web server is configured with reverse proxy functionality,
it acts as a proxy for one or more backend servers and serves as a single
point of access or gateway in a server farm. In a reverse proxy setup, the
web server forwards the HTTP request it received from the browser client to
the appropriate backend server. The HTML response from the backend server
is sent back to the browser through the web server. Thus, the web server with
reverse proxy hides the existence of backend servers to the browser.
Web Server provides GUI and CLI support for configuring the reverse
proxy.
For information about configuring reverse proxy, see Configuring Reverse Proxy in Web Server 7.0 in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide
Enhanced Security
Web Server supports a wide variety of technologies that allow data encryption
and validation, request authentication, and server process protection. Key
security feature enhancements include the following:
-
Solaris 10 platform cryptographic framework support. For example, libpkcs11.so including support for UltraSPARC® T1 processor hardware acceleration.
-
Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection enhancements.
-
Crosssite
scripting protection through the native sed(1) based input
filtering. For information
about cross site scripting, see Preventing Cross Site Scripting Attacks in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
-
Web services security:
-
Integrated Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) support.
-
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) access
control support.
-
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) auth-db is enhanced to make search expressions and match attributes configurable.
-
The LDAP auth-db supports Microsoft Active
Directory interoperability.
-
Support for migration of certificate from Tomcat or other
Java keystore file based repositories.
-
Support for dynamically applied Certificate Revocation Lists
(CRLs).
-
Integrated
IPv6 support.
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:
-
Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers
equivalent security with smaller key sizes that enable faster computations,
lower power consumption and 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
such as, NIST, ANSI, and SECG. Because these standards include the key length,
you only have 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 7.0 Update 4 Administrator’s Guide.
Sun Java Studio Enterprise Support
Web Server 7.0 supports Sun Java Studio Enterprise
8.1. Sun Java Studio software is Sun's powerful, extensible IDE for Java technology
developers. Sun Java Studio 8.1 is based on the 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 works only with a local
web server. That is, the IDE and the web server must be installed on the same
machine.

System
Virtualization Support
System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating
system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally,
software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally
unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing
of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations
to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on
properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized
systems. For information about Sun support for Sun Java System products in
virtualized environments, see http://docs.sun.com/doc/820–4651.

Installation, Migration, and Upgrade
Notes
This section includes notes about installing, migrating and upgrading
your Sun Java System Web Server. For detailed information about these topics,
review the information in the Sun Java System Web Server Installation and Migration
Guide. For known issues in this release of Web Server, see Known Issues in these release notes.
Installation
You cannot install Web Server to a directory that contains an earlier
version of Web Server. You can, however, migrate the existing installation
after installing Web Server to a new directory.
Web Server can be installed as part of
Java Enterprise System or as a standalone version.
Standalone
Installation
In a standalone installation, all the necessary shared components such
as NSS, NSPR are co-packaged with the Web Server installation files.
Java ES Installation
If you are installing Web Server as part of the Java ES suite, the Java
ES installer installs all the shared components such as NSS and NSPR as separate
packages and Web Server specific binaries as separate operating system dependent
packages. Hence you need to download and install all the shared components
patches and Web Server patches.
Visit Sun Solve. Download and install the latest Java ES Component Patches
for the respective operating system.
Note –
Web Server 7.0 Update 4 will not start successfully
without installing the latest NSS / NSPR patches on your system. Therefore,
before installing Web Server 7.0 Update 4, you can check for the appropriate
NSS patch available for your system in Web Server 7.0 Update 4 patch README
bundled within our Update 4 patch.
Migration
Web Server 6.0 and 6.1 configurations can be migrated. Direct migration
from a Web Server version lower than 6.0 is not supported. Earlier versions
such as Web Server 4.0 or later must first be migrated to Web Server 6.1,
then to Web Server 7.0. For information about migrating from Web Server 4.0
or later to Web Server 6.1, see the latest Sun Java System Web Server
6.1 Installation and Migration Guide and the Sun Java
System Web Server 6.1 Release Notes.
For detailed information on migrating from Web Server 4.1 to Web Server
7.0, and from all versions of Web Server 6.0 to Web Server 7.0, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Installation and Migration Guide.
Upgrade
When you install Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 over an existing installation
of Sun Java System Web Server 7.0, the installer automatically carries out
the upgrade.
If you have Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 installed, point the Sun
Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 installer
to the location of the Web Server 7.0 installation and then upgrade.
If you have installed Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 as part of Java
ES 5, you are encouraged to install the following patches from the http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage web
site to upgrade to Web Server 7.0 Update 4:
If you are using a localized version of Web Server, install the following
patches before installing
the base patches for successful upgrade from Web Server 7.0
to Web Server 7.0 Update 4:
In Web Server 7.0 Update
4, the multilingual files are integrated into the base patch. Hence, if Web
Server 7.0 multilingual packages are installed on your system, you must first
install the l10n patch 126331-05 (Sparc)/126332-05 (x86) and then install
the base patch 125437-15 (Sparc)/125438-15 (x86) or higher.
For detailed information about upgrading from Web Server 7.0 to Web
Server 7.0 Update 4, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 Installation and Migration Guide
Compatibility Issues
-
Web Server 7.0 supports JavaServerTM Faces 1.2 technology.
Most JavaServer Faces 1.1 applications are expected to work with Web Server
7.0 without
any modifications. However, there are some compatibility issues that might
be encountered when migrating applications to JavaServer Faces 1.2 applications
and such applications require modifications. The changes are documented in
the JavaServer Faces release notes at https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/rlnotes/1.2_04/issues.html.
-
Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1, provided with Java ES 5
is not compatible with Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 1. If you have
deployed Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 along with Web Server 7.0, you
need to upgrade both servers rather than only Sun Java System Web Server 7.0.
The required Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 upgrade is available with
Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 or with the following patches available
on http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage web
site.
-
124301 (SPARC)
-
124302 (x86)
-
124303 (Linux)
If you are using a localized version of Web Server, install the following
Portal Server localization patches:

|
4793938
|
User and password dialog presented instead of
directory index.
By default, Web Server 7.0 does not send a directory index unless the

Control List (ACL) in Web Server 7.0 grants the list access right only to
authenticated users.

Web Server installer should import the admin
self signed certificate into IE certificate tab.
When the Admin console is accessed using a browser, a pop-up (in the
case of IE6 and Mozilla/Firefox) or a warning page (IE7) may be displayed
stating that the certificate is not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
This is because, the administration server uses a self-signed certificate.
To proceed to the Administration GUI login page, do the following:
-
On Mozilla/Firefox, click on the OK button in the pop-up window.
-
On Internet Explorer 6, click on the Yes button in the pop-up
window.
-
On Internet Explorer 7, click on the "Continue to this website"
link in the page.
The above procedure will accept the certificate temporarily for that
browser session.
To accept the certificate permanently, follow the steps below:

Connection queue size set by server for 1024
max file descriptor is very less (128)
Web Server reserves the file descriptors for various components. If
connection pool queue size, file cache max open files and keep-alive max connections
are not set, then after reserving file descriptors for other components, Web
Server divides the available descriptors among three. On systems where default
value of max file descriptor is low, for example, Solaris 8 and RHEL, the
connection pool size might be set to a low value. For example, on RHEL, the
default value of max file descriptors is 1024. If the connection queue size
is not assigned, then Web Server assigns 128 connections to connection queue.
The value can be very low on busy systems. If connections starts timing out,
users should set higher value for max file descriptors.

On non-windows platforms (Solaris, Linux and HP-UX), if you have installed
Web Server 7.0 or 7.0 update 1 without sample applications and if you upgrade
to Web Server 7.0 update 2, you will see the following error message:
A problem occurred during upgrade. To troubleshoot the problem,
review the installation log at: <install-dir>/setup/Sun_Java_System_Web_Server_install.log
Note –
This error does not impact the upgrade.

On Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5, Search
functionality does not work properly.
On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine, if the compat-libstdc++ library
is installed, you must remove the installed rpm and download/install
the compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm .
For x86 32–bit and 64–bit download and install the compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm.
Note –
Do not download/install an rpm from unreliable
sources as it may lead to security vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance fails to start
when the file system SELinux security is enabled.
Newer Linux distributions have new kernel security extensions enabled
from the SELinux project. These extensions allow finer grained control over
system security. However, SELinux also changes some default system behaviors,
such as shared library loading that can be problematic to third-party programs.
If you receive the error message “Cannot restore segment prot after
reloc: Permission denied" when starting the Web Server Admin Server or instance,
that means the system is SELinux enabled.

JSF Web Applications running on Web Server 7.0
may break when running on Web Server 7.0 Update 1.
Web Server 7.0 Update 1 ships with JavaServer Faces 1.2 technology.
All JavaServer Faces web applications are expected to work with Web Server
7.0 Update 1 without any modifications. However, there are a few known compatibility
issues with JavaServer Faces 1.2 and might require applications to be modified
to address these incompatibilities. The incompatibilities are documented in
the JavaServer Faces release notes at: https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/rlnotes/1.2_04/issues.html.
Java ES 5 Portal Server users are suggested to delay upgrading to Web
Server 7.0 Update 1 until Java ES 5 Update 1 is released.

Portal Server configures JVM stack size to 128K
(too low) for Web Server 7.0 64–bit to start.
If Web Server 7.0 is already configured in 64–bit mode, and the
Portal Server installation is started, Portal Server configuration does not

|
Request to the server fails with using of "Sun
Software PKCS#11 softtoken".
|
|
6493271
|
Java garbage collector activity is higher in
Web Server 7.0 when compared against Web Server 6.1.
The servlet container in Web Server 7.0 creates many Java objects.
|
|
6497803
|
If a servlet is mapped to req URI formed by
partial req + welcome file, the behavior is wrong.
If a web container receives a valid partial request, the web container
must examine the welcome file list defined in the deployment descriptor. The
welcome file list is an ordered list of partial URLs with no trailing or leading /. The Web Server must append each welcome file in the order specified
in the deployment descriptor to the partial request and check whether a static
resource or a servlet in the WAR file is mapped to that request URI. The web
container must send the request to the first resource in the WAR that matches.

Java LDAP connection pool interaction issue
- initial connection is never timed out.
Specifying a Java LDAP connection pool through the JVM options in the server.xml file and referencing this with an external JNDI resource
when the web server is started, creates a pooled LDAP connection. With this
connection, it is always marked as busy and the connection never expires.

ssl-check is not working with NSAPI based plug-in.
"PathCheck fn="ssl-check" secret-keysize=128 bong file="xxxxx.yyy.html"
For static file requests, if the secret-keysize of
the client is less than the size specified by the server and a bong file is
present, then the bong file is sent back as the response. However, requests
for dynamic content (for example, JSP files) return the
actual requested object (for example, the JSP file) rather
than the bong file.

Problem having server-parsed HTML (ParseHTML)
and .htaccess with restricted group option.
Authentication succeeds when parsing through a HTML file which has the
shtml include entries and is configured to authenticate through .htaccess which has the "restricted by group" option enabled. If the group
user gets authenticated, then the result page does not get shtml include entries.
This however works fine with the user in .htaccess file
has "restricted by user" option.

Description
|
|
6364924
|
A node can be registered to multiple administration
servers which may cause a configuration conflict.
It is possible to register a node to a second Administration Server
without canceling the registration with the first Administration Server. However,
this leads to the nodes becoming inaccessible to both the Administration Servers.
Workaround:
On each registration, restart the administration node. The administration
node will be available to the most recent Administration Server it has registered
to.
|
|
6379125
|
wadm command allows connecting to a node, shows
a certificate and then throws a 'HTTP 400 Error'.
When an administration node receives a connection, the administration
node does not check the connection is from the Administration Server before
proceeding. It not only prints an inappropriate error message, but also prompts
the user to enter the password.
|
|

using the list-certs command, displays the CN, org and other information instead
of the certificate nickname.
|
|
6407486
|
While setting the SSL property using the wadm
set-ssl-prop command, the server-cert-nickname property accepts any certificate
nickname, instead of accepting only the server certificate nickname.
|
|
6443742
|
The set-session-replication-prop CLI command

|
|
6367282
|
Administration server starts with expired certificate;
wadm should warn about expired certificates.
|
|
6375505
|
The unregister-node command should also clean
up certificates on the administration node.
|
|
6408169
|
WebDAV lock CLIs do not work in a cluster environment.
|
|
6408186
|

|
Need better validation in certain text fields
to prevent obj.conf file corruption.
Most of the functional validation of the data in a form is done in the
back end. The GUI has only minimal checks such as empty fields, integer values,
and ASCII values. Hence, the GUI stores the data in the obj.conf when
parsed gets corrupted .
|
|
6497213
|
Executing the restart-admin command followed
by the stop-admin command throws exception in administration error logs.
|

Web Server 7.0 Administration CLI does not accept multibye
characters as input.
Admin CLI does not accept input
strings which has multibyte or non-ascii characters. For example, if you are
entering an input value containing a non-ascii character (Felhasználók)
along with the command, the input value will be garbled as below:
wadm> set-authdb-prop --config=test --authdb=sajit
url=ldap://sunone178.india.sun.com:389/ou=Felhaszn??l??k,dc=india,dc=sun,dc=com
|
Workaround:
While modifying the server.xml file manually, to enter base DN value, you have to type the URL
encoded sequence as input instead of multibyte characters. For example, type::
"Felhaszn%C3%A1l%C3%B3k" instead of "Felhasználók"
|

|
Any URI that does not end with the "real" file name fails to
execute properly, resulting in a “No input file specified” error.
For PHP users:
Web Server 7.0 Update
4 populates the environment variables REQUEST_URI and SCRIPT_FILENAME for FastCGI and CGI applications. The introduction
of the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable causes PHP to display
a No input file specified PHP error for scripts that are
mapped to virtual URIs, that is, URLs ending with / instead
of /index.html or URLs making use of Web Server 7.0's URI
rewriting feature. The
affected PHP versions are 5.2.5 through 5.2.8. For more information, see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47042.
Workaround:
If a PHP application is mapped
to a virtual URI, then cgi.fix_pathinfo should be set to 0 in the php.ini file. This setting is required
for many popular PHP applications like Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, etc.
However, this setting will cause PHP applications that rely on path-info like /foobar.php/baz/ to return a No
input file specified PHP error. If a PHP application relies on path-info, then cgi.fix_pathinfo should not be
disabled.

Server treats non-interpolated strings that
contain $$ character constants as interpolated.
When a parameter value contains a $$ escape, the
server constructs a PblockModel for the parameter block.
This is unnecessary because $$ is a constant.

Webserver crashing configured with an NFS-mounted docroot directory
Web Server crashes if NFS file
is removed or replaced, while using NFS and MediumFileSizeLimit
>0. Therefore, you should not use MediumFileSizeLimit>0,
if the document root is mounted over NFS.
Workaround:

|
Incorrect migration occurs while migrating
from Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 if the installed.pkg file is not found.
In Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 migration, if the installed.pkg file
is missing, Web Server incorrectly migrates the NSServlet entries
in the magnus.conf file.
|
|
6490124
|
6.x -> 7.0: Migrated scheduled events still
points to 6.x paths in the server.xml file.
|
|
6502529
|
6.1->7.0: Migration does not handle relative
path set for search-collection-dir correctly.
During instance migration, specifying a relative path for the target
path into which the search collections should be copied, results in the search
collection directory being created with respect to the config-store.
When the instance is instantiated, the indexes are created without properly
migrating the search collections.
|
|
6502769
|
6.x->7.0: Migration ignores any "document-root"
NameTrans specified in the obj.conf file.
|
|
6498806
|
On Windows, Web Server Admin Console does not
appropriately warn users during migration.
Administration Server does not detect if the selected new configuration
or the service name already exists on Windows and hence does not appropriately
warn the users to select a different configuration name or suggest a different
configuration name as default.
|

TLS_ECDH_RSA_* require the server cert signed
with RSA keys.
Cipher suites of the form TLS_ECDH_RSA_* requires
server to have an ECC keypair with a cert signed using RSA keys. Note that
this precludes using these cipher suites with self-signed certificates. This
requirement is inherent to these cipher suites and is not a bug. The server
should detect and warn about wrong configurations related to these cipher
suites but currently it does not do so.

Incorrect web application session statistics
for MaxProcs > 1 mode.
Web Server runs in multi-process mode. The MaxProcs configuration
variable in the magnus.conf is used to set the maximum
number of processes. If the value for MaxProcs is set to
greater than 1, the Web Server uses mmap-based session
manager so that the session could be shared among different JVMs. While collecting
statistics from multiple processes, web application MBeans provide session
for individual MBeans. There is no way to find the true number of sessions
by seeing individual MBean's web application session statistics.

Web container deletes the disabled web application
MBeans object.
When the web application is disabled by setting the <enabled> element
to false in the server.xml file, the web container deletes
the web application's MBeans and hence treats it as a closed or deleted web
application. Since disabled objects are deleted, statistics are also lost.

There is no functionality equivalent to use-responseCT-for-headers in Web Server 7.0.
Response
header encoding is enabled at the web-app level by setting
the value of the configuration parameter use-responseCT-for-headers to
any of the values; yes, true, or on in the web-app/sun-web.xml file.
For
example, set Response header encoding as follows:
<sun-web-app>
<parameter-encoding form-hint-field="j_encoding"/>
<property name="use-responseCT-for-headers" value="true" />
<session-config>
<session-manager/>
</session-config>
<jsp-config/>

Sun Java System Portal Server search throws
exception after Web Server upgrade.
Portal Server search functionality throws exception when upgrading Web
Server from Java ES 4 to Java ES 5.
Workaround
Note –
Move the existing libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so library files to an appropriate location, somewhere outside the
Web Server's private directories. Once the Portal Server libraries are in
a suitable location, that path must be specified for the <libdb-3.3.so
path>:<libdb_java-3.3.so path> in
the following commands.
On Solaris platform, perform the following steps:
-
Copy the libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so files from Web Server 6.1 lib directory to an
appropriate location.
Note –
For HP-UX, the files are libdb-3.3.sl and libdb_java-3.3.sl. For windows, the files are libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll.
Caution – Do not copy the library files to Web Server 7.0 private directories
(For example, lib directory).
-
Create a directory (mkdir) by name /portal_libraries. Copy the library files libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so to /portal_libraries.
-
Use the wadm command to inform the Web
Server about the location of the library files.
-
Get the current native library path setting by typing the
following administration CLI command:
get-jvm-prop -user=admin
--config=hostname native-library-path-prefix
Save the output.
-
Append the copied libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so path to the existing native library path by typing the following
administration CLI command.
set-jvm-prop --config=hostname native-library-path-prefix=<existing
native library-path>:</portal-libraries-path>
where, 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, at the command prompt,
set the native-library-path-prefix:
native-library-path-prefix=</portal-libraries-path>
-
Note –
For Windows platform, use ';' as the separator for 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>
-
Deploy the modified configuration by typing the following
command:
deploy-config [--user=admin-user]
config-name

Migration logs reports a bogus "root is not
a valid user" message on Java ES 5.
While migrating from Java ES 4 to Java ES 5 on UNIX platforms, the migration
log file reports WARNING: "root is not a valid user".
This is incorrect as the "root" user is valid on that host.
