in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file.)
CR 31736:
Fixed a problem with doing multiple finder calls in a single transaction.
CR 31758:
Changed the RequestDispatcher and how request parameters are forwarded to other servlets/JSP's.
CR 32174:
Added locationKeys, pathTrimTable, and pathPaprendTable in ConfigInfo structure
to handle more than one location tag used in virtual hosting.
CR 31775:
Extensions can now be stripped when setting the trimExt property in the INIT argument to the cluster servlet--in the WebLogic properties file.
CR 31801:
We now print a better diagnostic message if the hashCode or equals method in the primary key class is misimplemented.
CR 31822:
By adding the secureProxy to InitProperties and including the setting =on it is possible to activate the SSL between
the proxy and the clusters.(additional
details)
CR 31843:
Added error cheking to Durable Subscribers in JMS.
CR 31853:
There was a problem using wlconfig with JRE 1.2.2. When using wlconfig -JAVA_HOME $some_jre_dir, the response was: Java dll not found. Bad value for JAVA_HOME. The system cannot find the path specified. Now, wlconfig has been updated to solve this problem.
CR 31854:
ClassNotFoundException thrown when beanName="<%= SomeStringvalue %>" is specified in jsp.
CR 31868:
Fixed ConcurrencyModificationException.
CR 31877:
Allows for the user id and referred url to be seen from the error page. (additional details)
CR 31878:
Fixed a problem with Apache failing on large uploads.
CR 31884:
Cookie.setMaxAge(0) will set the cookie's max age to that of the server. Therefore,
if the server and the client are not in sync, then the cookie may not in fact be deleted.
The setMaxAge(0) should be set to something like January 1st, 1970.
CR 31915:
Welcome.jsp in a protected area can be accessed without having to enter a username/password.
CR 31943:
Fixed expression constructor so longProperty will work.
CR 31968:
The page context variable wasn't being initialized correctly and was causing a NullPointerException.
CR 32037:
This fixed a problem with "show code" vulnerability in the
JSPs. We recommend to register the FileServlet under a virtual name "*.html" (instead of "file").
The fix ensures that a hacker is not able to prepend the path leading to
JSP by *.html and see the code of the JSP. In other words, URLs like
http://www.abc.com:7001/*.html/path/to/foo.jsp do not result in displaying the
code of the JSP in a browser.
CR 32053:
Plug-in Shared library built on AIX433 for NES4.0.
CR 32054:
Improved log notification when a server is aware of other servers in the cluster.
The string looks like: "Creating RemoteMemberInfo for" + configdetails.
In general, when using WebLogic Server 4.0.X through 5.1.X, the message of "Joined cluster mycluster at address 224.0.0.1:7001",
does not necessarily mean that there is anyone else in the cluster. In 4.5 you could tell when there was really
another server in the cluster by the server to server RJVM messages when each node found the others.
But, in 5.1 this became no longer possible. This change improves the log notification and solves this problem.
CR 32056:
Customers can configure the server with global server, per server and command line props.
Now there is a servlet/JSP that can be used to gather the data from the log file. It can
be mailed to support, when needed, or saved to a file. This is to help support/engineering
ascertain a client's configuration.
CR 32060:
Plug-in Shared library built on AIX433 for NES3.6.
CR 32061:
Oracle type 2 driver-native binary shared lib build for lcuw2 (UnixWare).
CR 32063:
Oracle type 2 driver-native binary shared lib build for lcaix9 (with AIX432).
CR 32065:
In WebLogic-EJB-jar.xml a bug was fixed where the transaction-descriptor was not being outputed.
CR 32092:
If the Request-URI is greater than the buffer size (2048) the plug-in
will return back 414 HTTP status code. Which means, "The server is refusing
to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is
willing to interpret."
CR 32132:
Two files were added (mod_wl_ssl.so and mod_wl_ssl_raven.so) for Apache installations on Linux platforms.
The file mod_wl_ssl.so is used for Apache + SSL/EAPI installations (Stronghold, modssl, etc).
The file mod_wl_ssl_raven.so is used for Apache + Raven installations.
The mod_wl_ssl_raven.so file was required because Raven applies frontage patches which make it compatible with mod_wl_ssl.so.
CR 32133:
Error page functionality for the Apache plug-in was improved.
CR 32136:
Error page functionality for the Apache plug-in was improved.
CR 32142:
The host2ior was not returning the correct IOR with WebLogic Service Pack 3. This has been fixed.
CR 32156:
Read-only entity beans with a read-timeout of 0 now have ejbLoad called only when they
are brought into the cache.
CR 32158:
A problem involving the HTTPClusterServlet entering an infinite loop was solved.
CR 32174:
Added locationKeys, pathTrimTable, and pathPaprendTable in ConfigInfo structure to handle more than one location tag used in virtual hosting.
CR 32184:
Improved checkAForm state management. This allows for the user information to remain
in the session after a successful authentication without an authorization. It also allows the
initially requested URL to be stored in the session in the case of no authorization.
CR 32193:
Fixed a problem specific to Service Pack 4 concerning FORM based authentication when using a webapp. Service Pack 4 users were getting a username/password window, rather than the correct form.
CR 32222:
In weblogic.rmi.internal.OIDManager, when the server tried to load weblogic.cos.naming.NamingContextImpl,
it was expecting a NoClassDefFound error on non-JDK 1.3 VMs. However, the VisualAge
VM throws an IncompatibleClassChangeError, and the Class.forName docs say this is allowed.
Since this is an Error, it goes uncaught, and the server dies. This was a problem in earlier Service Packs, but is now fixed.
CR 32253:
Fixed a problem with the transaction-descriptor not being outputted in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
CR 32265:
Added javadoc of weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication.
CR 32270:
Updated form-auth state management.
CR 32271:
It is no longer necessary to specifically grant access to loginpage and
errorpage. Per the servlet 2.2 spec, access will now be granted.
CR 32272:
Servlet request parameters are currently being converted to EBCDIC on the USS390 Platform resulting in garbled parameters when processed by application servlet.
CR 32309:
Fixed a rare problem with the dispatch in-thread pattern resulting in a deadlock (additional details.)
CR 32806:
HTTP logging has two rotation methods. The user can specify date-based rotation or size-based rotation. If the logging operates on date-based rotation, and the initial date has already passed, HTTP logging should only set DAY_OF_WEEK if the rotation period is greater than a week. Previously, DAY_OF_WEEK would always be set when the current date was later than the initial date(additional details).
CR 32951:
This problem occurs when using WebLogic, via HttpClusterServlet, to proxy all jsp and servlet requests to a list of cluster servers. Hitting F5 in Internet Explorer, or Shift-Reload in Netscape on SimpleSession.jsp will cause the cluster servers to infinitely loop on incrementing the session counter.
CR 33036:
The expected behavior for interoperability between web applications and EJB security is that a user's ID, authenticated via form-based authentication propagates to the EJB container regardless of the security constraints imposed on the caller's location within the site.
Service Pack 6
CR 27890
With an extremely large number of active durable subscribers the server was
hanging. There was a problem with the server running out of execute threads.
CR 28155
Fixed a bug in adjusting the round trip time for getting the server time
from the client.
CR 29085
JDBC drivers need to workaround new synchronization in DriverManager.
CR 30351
If JMS is used indirectly through an EJB, the
JMS connection will close itself down after the
caller that invoked the EJB first shuts down.
This is because the peer gone detection in the
connection object does not know that the connection
was created by the bean rather than the client who
called the bean. This has been fixed for this service pack.
CR 30473
There was a problem with the jts driver doubly registering statements to
close. This has been fixed.
CR 30485
Fixed a race condition in JMSMessageConsumer. There was a problem with the server
hanging when sending PTP messages.
CR 30561
There was a typo in the weblogic.properties file shipped with the release.
CR 30648
Now it is possible to associate a character set to a mimetype (additional details)
CR 30839
Java mail is functioning. We now ship the files that set up its
defaults. These are in the service pack jar.
CR 30857
Fixed a bug where Application Exceptions were causing the bean to be deleted.
The Bean is being deleted after an AppException and subsequent
calls cause a NoSuchObjectException to be thrown.
CR 30900
We now have JSP caching tags. For more information, see our online docs
CR 31292
The relative URL's ./ and ../ were not working with jsp pages. Basically this was caused by the JspStub reinterpreting the
URI->JSP filename incorrectly.
CR 31384
Using request.getSession(false) when there is no current session was
creating a new session. By using <%@ page session="false" %> creating a new session can now
be avoided.
CR 31389
Fixed a problem with the iisproxy.dll not finding the location of the iisproxy.ini in the registry.
CR 31490:
Fixed bug in various JDBC 2.0 calls.
CR 31735
In pre-5.1 versions of WebLogic, calls to T3Services.getT3Services() would
just return null. In 5.1 (sp3) it began causisng an NPE in RJVMManager. This has been fixed.
CR 31943
Selector's with compound expressions (specifically with long values) were not working. For Example:
String selector = 'DateProp >= 963464400000 AND DateProp <= 963550799999'. This has been fixed.
CR 32058
This fix re-enables reporting of servlet exceptions. The server wasn't printing out exceptions from
application code - making it impossible to debug an application.
CR 32104
Debug messages have been turned off in
weblogic.servlet.internal.session.ClusterSessionJDBC.
CR 32120
Some classes used in our class loaders would generate class
circularity errors. This is now fixed.
CR 032133
There is a new parameter, defaultfilename, for all plug-ins. (see additional details)
CR 032157
When the startup servlet was fully initialized the invalidation trigger
would start and try to invalidate the existing sessions. But at that time, the
replication manager hasn't yet been initialized and as the sessions became invalidated
NullPointer exceptions were generated. This has been fixed.
CR 32204
All calls to the method DriverManager.getConnection() were removed. The method that is currently used is Driver.connect(). This was done to enhance performance.
CR 032258
Fixed jsp/plugin syntax(added 1.1 syntax)plus added translation time expression capabilities for
plugin applet-parameters.
CR 032313
Now users can pass non-javac specific arguments to the compiler--
if they use -J. For example: jview weblogic.jspc -compiler
jvc.exe -J/w4 somejsppage.jsp" will pass "/w4" to the jvc compiler.
CR 32409
The servlet engine was losing the post parameters if the servlet
was getting an input stream--even if it was reading nothing.
CR 32495
TransactionManager now implements Serializable.
CR 32558
Fixed jsp/plugin syntax(added 1.1 syntax)plus added translation time expression capabilities for
plugin applet-parameters.
CR 32603
Fixed a problem with HttpSessionBindingListener not working in a
cluster using in-memory replication.
CR 32634
Dealt with some minor JMS DataBase improvements
to reduce an extra hit on the DataBase for every 16 messages message id's.
CR 32708
This fixes an issue where the originally requested URI was included by the FileServlet, instead of the intended include URI.
For example, if a JSP included an html page, the original JSP page would be included untranslated instead of the intended HTML page.
CR 32769
Fixed a problem with req.getRemoteAddr() returning the ip address of the
proxy servers when the requests are coming via proxy servers. This was occuring with
plugins as well.
CR 32859
In order to make the JSP respect empty string query parameters, now add the initParameter
"setEmptyStrings=true" to the JSPServlet registration.
CR 32873
When the CGI servlet was initiated in a Japanese environment (Windows NT 4.0),
it was displaying corrupt strings. Fixed by Using CharArrayWriter,
InputStreamReader and PrintWriter in place of ByteArrayOutputStream,
DataInputStream and ServletOutputStream respectively.
CR 32935
This fixed a problem with Brazilian accented characters when the output
is larger than 8k. With character encoding, response.setContentType ("text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"),
using getOutputStream(), handled the Brazilian accented characters fine as long as
the length of the output was less than 8K. When the output was larger than 8K, it
doesn't do the character encoding. This fixed by altering a change in codeset that was happening when the buffer overflowed.
CR 32953
An error occurred when attempting to deploy the cookie war file example
with WebLogic Server 5.1 using sp4 and sp5. This has been fixed.
CR 33081
This fixes a problem created by Service Packs 3 and 4. When a dependency class of the EJB has a primitive
array cast, EJB deploy fails, throwing a NPE. The server was trying to load the primitive
array thinking that it is a user defined one and coming up with null.
CR 33227
To prevent the JMS server from failing from unusual client behavior,
we now prevent messages from being sent/published when more than 75% of the
server memory is used up.
CR 33244
Messages processed by server session pools were not being acknowledged
properly causing messages to reappear even though the they had already
been acknowledged. This bug only affected server session pools receiving
messages from queues.
CR 33258
Sun's ldap does not work with Microsoft Site Server 3.0. There is now a work-around for this problem.
(additional details)
CR 33289
When the server had been running for some time, it was running out of
file descriptors, due to loading a jar file an unnecessary amount of times. This has now been fixed.
CR 33320
There is now the ability to turn on/off HTTP Tunneling. The property
weblogic.httpd.tunnelingenabled should be set to true to enable http
tunneling. By default it is set to false.
CR 33343
Load balancing has been improved with WebLogic plug-in's support of multiple
clusters. Maintaining a static variable "lastIndex" was breaking load balancing. This has been fixed.
CR 33372
Fixed bug in the compliance checker which allows primary key class of java.lang.Object to work.
CR 33633
Adding a parameter, with the same name as an existing
parameter, appends it to the same internal list in the QueryParams class. A shallow clone copy of the QueryParams was made
so that we could reset them after the include. A deep-clone of QueryParams was not made. Cloning the internal lists.
is the bug fix that corrects and changes the parameter behavior after an include so that it correctly
follows the spec. Note that this could hence affect a customer's servlets.
CR 33773
We now accept extended HTTP 1.1 methods.
CR 33775
Users were losing authentication status after their request. Now users using
weblogic.serlvet.security.ServletAuthentication are valid for the length of their session.
In order to preserve authenticated status when using weblogic.serlvet.security.ServletAuthentication, the status of the
HttpSession is checked from the request. Since weblogic.httpd.session.URLRewriting.enable
is 'true,' this causes us to consume the post data. So, if you intend to send post data to the server and you
expect to be able to read the raw post data, you should set the content type to something other than the
default value of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
CR 33794
A bug allowed all TxContext objects (ie, all transactions on a particular server) to be serviced by a single static
coordinator. All transactions bottleneck around
one transaction coordinator. In a situation where a client needs to start
multiple transactions on multiple servers (not clustered or different clusters),
this wasn't safely possible because the static coordinator could be overwritten by
the lookup to the second server. So, you could do a lookup of UserTransaction
on server1, do a begin xact, then lookup UserTransaction on server2 and
call commit, commit the transaction on server1, and not get an exception thrown. This fix now allows
one coordinator per UserTransaction per server.
CR 33887
Tag library performance suffered due to incorrect specification
interpretation. This has been fixed.
CR 33909
IIS users may now proxy by path. See http://www.weblogic.com/
docs51/admindocs/isapi.html#path
CR 34074
Under heavy load users were getting messages with "Expected content length 1000 bytes," when they
were only reading -1 bytes messages from the WebLogic Proxy server. This has been fixed. There was a problem with the
HTTPClusterServlet trying to read the POST data again after failover.
CR 34074
There was a thread synchronization problem that has been fixed. If all the stateless session bean instances
in the free pool are being used, the next transaction trying to get a instance will throw a
RuntimeException immediatly without waiting until timeout. This has been addressed.
CR 34212
Removed unnecessary messages printed to weblogic.log when a http resource could not be found.
CR 34255
A NullPointerException was occuring when trying a getMessage() on a message pointer cursor.
This problem was only happenning when setting weblogic.jms.connectionPool to a connectionPool. It is now fixed.
CR 34307
All .class and generated .java files in .war files are
protected.
CR 34627
Now we ignore case when checking secureProxy parameter in HttpClusterServlet
CR 34628
Even when invoked with the -idlNoValueTypes flag."rmic -idl" would still generate some valuetypes.
CR 34307
This modified JMS initialization. Previously, we loaded all messages at startup
which would cause the startup time to be quite long if you had queues with
lots of persistent messages in them.
CR 34631
This change is to make environment properties which are set up in web.xml
work in init() and destroy() methods of Servlet interface.
CR 34633
Fixed compiler message parser so that non-standard messages are still
returned to browser.
CR 34634
Now web.xml files should reference Web Application 2.2 in their
public id (as per the spec).
CR 34635
Request dispatching between web applications now works as specified.
CR 34703
Made write method non-final to extend the functionality of ServletOutputStream, if it is overridden.
CR 34737
Added handling of the old public ID. Now we print a warning if the old public
ID is found.
CR 34836
For the HTTP XML example the "Content-Type" must be set to something other than the
default value. For this example it has been set to text/xml. This shall be fixed in Service Pack 7.
Service Pack 7
CR 26207
There was a problem that was causing the server to display harmless 'SocketException:
Bad file number' messages. This was caused by one thread trying to close the socket while another thread
was reading from it. Synchronization has been added around the read() and close() messages to avoid this.
CR 26354
When starting a client-demarcated transaction and calling
a business method within that transaction, the business method throws a RuntimeException. This has been changed so that
the server now marks the transaction for rollback and throws
a TransactionRolledBackException to the client.
CR 28473
Fixed a bug with jms server objects getting garbage collected too soon.
CR 28881
When the server is out of execute threads, SessionState.close can deadlock
as it puts a message to the messagesPublished queue.
CR 29007
Now there is optimization for BMP entity beans so that
findByPrimaryKey does not go to the database if the Primary Key is already in the cache.
CR 29792
With Service Pack 6 installed and in a clustered environment, ValueUnbound
was not working.
CR 30023
Setting "weblogic.jms.tableNamePrefix" in the properties file results in all
destID's=0. With messages in two separate queues, when the server goes down and is restarted
all messages in both queues are sent to all receivers. This is occurring because all destID's are set equal to 0.
Now each message queue has a distinct destID.
CR 30298
Introduced a new property to signal which encoding to use for the input
stream. The property is weblogic.httpd.inputCharset and it allows users to specify charset for the post parameter.
It can be set to different values. For example:
weblogic.httpd.inputCharset./*=ASCII
weblogic.httpd.inputCharset./jap/*=Shift-JIS
weblogic.httpd.inputCharset./chn/*=Big5
In this case, any request starting with /jap will use the encoding 'Shift-JIS' in their
post parameters. Any request starting with /chn will use Big5. All other requests will use ASCII as their encoding.
(See the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 30351
If JMS is used indirectly through an EJB, the
JMS connection will close itself down after the caller that invoked the EJB first shuts down.
This is because the peer gone detection in the connection object does not know that the connection
was created by the bean rather than the client who called the bean.
CR 30649
The line, <enable-call-by-reference>False</enable-call-by-reference>
in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml was causing a ClassCastException when the server was
trying to instantiate a stateless EJB in the startup class.
CR 30679
Fixed a problem where multiple calls to FindyByPrimaryKey occurring
within the same transaction caused multiple calls to EJBLoad.
CR 30700
With stateless session beans, calling get EJBObject on the context was falsely
returning null.
CR 30826
A new property "weblogic.system.maxExecuteThreadCount"
has been added to configure the maximum number of the threads the weblogic will support. This is essentially
the maximum the property "weblogic.system.executeThreadCount" will take. This property is configurable both from client and
server.
CR 30841
After the transaction has rolled back and in a subsequent call,
the server hangs when the client calls a stateless session bean. This happens as the server attempts to
find an associated bean from the first transaction.
CR 30869
Added weblogic.jsp.windows.caseSensitive property.
If set to true, jspc and JspServlet do not change to lower-case the name
of the generated file. The default is false.(See
the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 30895
Now the compliance checker gives an error message if the primary key class
doesn't implements Serializable.
CR 30908
When there was more than one war file per directory, one would overwrite
another. Added name of the context to the created temp directory name in order to avert this problem.
CR 30926
Fixed a problem ldap and UrlAcl not finding groups.
CR 31202
A "-user" option has been added for weblogic.deploy tool. This was added
because of a problem with Hot Deploy not working if weblogic.system.user was used to change the system user. See,
www.weblogic.com/docs51/classdocs/API_ejb/EJB_reference.html
for more information.
CR 31250
When a session servlet has timed out, it gets removed from the memory.
However the corresponding row from the database was not being removed. This has been fixed.
CR 31261
Fixed a problem with WebGain's ClassLoaded callback not working for CMP beans
CR 31324
JSP's that had their own propietary classloaders now will be able to
notify debuggers of a servlet load.
CR 31598
The name of a deployed unit was being reserved for the lifetime of the
server even though it should have been free to be used once it was undeployed. Now the server removes the names of undeployed units.
CR 31699
If security-role and security-role-ref tags are specified in the
ejb-jar.xml file, the server was throwing a NullPointerException. This has been fixed.
CR 31839
Fixed a problem with BigDecimal not working as a primary key type.
CR 32058
Now the server supresses certain 'Servlet failed with Exception
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write errors'.
CR 32109
Using groups in the policy file was not working. This has been fixed.
CR 32186
Now, the server throws an error message if the <method-param>
or <finder-param> in the CMP finder description is not a fully-qualified Java name.
CR 32268
There was a problem fixed with the customized errorPage not working
when it was relative to the current request URI. The server always assumed the page was relative to the docroot.Now, it prepends "/"
to the errorPage if it does not start with "/"
CR 32275
From a Bean Managed Tranaction Session Bean getRollbackOnly was being
called. This violates the EJB 1.1 specification and has been fixed.
CR 32357
The WebLogic log was receiving harmless error messages that are now no longer
reported when not necessary. The error message was: CDT 2000:<I><DBCserver> tried to renew lease for 1
> lost reference(s).
CR 32363
Fixed a problem in JMS. After sending a message,
the client may retain and modify it without affecting the message that has been sent. This is the correct behavior, per the spec, and
was not being followed. Now this is fixed to match the spec.
CR 32633
Fixed ClassNotFoundException. The path to 'weblogic.security.acl.DefaultRealmImpl' was incorrect.
CR 32674
In the weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml file, <finder-list> and <options>
are now optional tags and no longer generate errors if they are absent.
CR 32764
Fixed a problem with JSP 1.1 setProperty and array values.
CR 32806
Fixed a minor problem with the date based log rotation beginning time. Now
the server only honors DAY_OF_WEEK in setting future date for rotation, when the date is already past.
CR 32952
Fixed a potential deadlock while deserializing the transaction context.
CR 33162
After invoking the servlet from a browser the HTTP responseheader was
showing a garbled expiration date when users had set their regional settings to a Japanese (multibyte) environment.
Now we use the right Locale for the DateFormat.
CR 33207
While executing a stored procedure from a BMP Bean,
ClassCastExceptions were occurring when casting the output of prepareCall method of Connection object
with weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleCallableStatement
CR 33227
Added a new property: weblogic.jms.ignoreMemExhaustCheck=[true|false]. If set to true, the memory check is ignored and messages can be sent when 75% or more
sent and published when 75% or more of the server memory is used up. When this property is set to false, the
memory check is NOT ignored.(See
the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 33424
Fixed a problem deploying a containerManaged sample EJB on OS/390. Users weren't able to deploy an EJB
built on an ASCII platform.
CR 33616
Fixed a problem with EJB's when using Security.verify on the client, where no realm structure exists.
CR 33624
If cookies are turned off URL's are being rewritten, it is possible
to track someone's session. But if the session is not yet authenticated, and the user tries
to hit a secure page in a web application, the web application security bounces them back to the login page. This bounce is
in the form of a sendRedirect. But, the redirect does not encode the url
to the login page and the user's session is lost. This has been fixed.
CR 33642
Running a WebLogic client inside the java plug-in, it is not possible to get through to
a proxy when the property "http.proxyHost" is not defined (this may happens with an applet running in the plugin) This is a problem
with the Sun plug-in and has been documented by Sun as Sun Bug
4149667. This fix is a workaround that added
a check to the protocol handler. If it detects that it is running
inside an signed-applet javaplugin environment, it does not override the standard HttpProtocolHandler.
CR 33657
Invalid deployment of a Web Application was causing a NullPointerException and
was also making the server crash. Now we load the general servlet context instead of doing System.exit(1), preventing crashes.
CR 33658
Fixed a problem with the <jsp:plugin> tag not functioning as expected.
The plug-in was not starting, and instead displaying the fallback message and sending the <jsp:> source to the client.
CR 33669
Any mimeTypes defined in the weblogic.properties
file were set in the defaultServletContext, even if it is a Web Application or the original
style context defined from the weblogic properties file.
The default web-application was ignoring the mime/type settings of
the main enviroment (specified in weblogic.properties). This has been fixed.
CR 33781
The error, Duplicate method declaration: java.lang.String getServletInfo(), was
occurring when the page info tag was set above the content type tag in a JSP page.
CR 33786
Now the compliance checker gives an error message when both
primary-key-class and primary-key-field are set.
CR 33792
The contents of the ntrealm.properties file has been moved into
the weblogic.properties file. The following property is now used: weblogic.security.ntrealm.domains=hostname1,hostname2.
This property can be set to a string list of hostnames of all the trusted domains.(See
the New WebLogic Properties section).
CR 33866
Now we report the reasons for peergone messages better.
CR 33914
If you change the WebLogicSession cookie to some invalid value, such
as 1, a NullPointerException was being thrown. Now the server checks the validity of the session cookie before using it,
doing a minimal check for the primary ID.
CR 34016
Fixed a problem where users were unable to deploy EJB's with
external XML parsers.
CR 34044
The existing behavior of the errorPage directive has been enhanced.
CR 34067
Enhanced the performance of LDAP realms. When the number of
principals was growing, the performance of the LDAP realm was suffering significantly. Fixed this problem and generally improved the
use of LDAP realms. More information is provided in the HTML file 510sp7/relnotes.html that is included with this service pack.
CR 34108
Fixed http tunneling to work in a WLS cluster. Ensured that tunneled
requests always return to initial cluster node.
CR 34121
The wrong error message was being thrown in some instances when a CMP container managed
Bean was starting a create operation within a session bean transaction. This was not allowing the transaction to be rolled back. Now
the correct exception (system) is thrown and the transaction is rolled back.
CR 34224
If a user was accessing one web application, then another, the original session is lost.
For example: access WebApp1 and increment the count to 10 by hitting reload.
Then access WebApp2 and increment its count to 5 by hitting reload.
When you return to the original WebApp1 the count begins at 1 rather than 11 and
a new session is created. This has been fixed.
CR 34306
When a servlet has a load-on-startup tag the server now instantiates the servlet on
startup in the order given by the sequence number.
CR 34351
When running WebLogic Server as a Windows service, the HotSpot option of
the JVM had to be turned off. This is now fixed.
CR 34389
Escaping Quotes was not working in the value tag for JSP params; The JSP
spec says that quotations (") are to be escaped with \" . Fixed quoting problems for double and single quotes.
CR 34415
The PageContextImpl class now fills in the attributes for:
OUT, REQUEST, RESPONSE, PAGE, CONFIG, PAGECONTEXT, and APPLICATION. The pageContext.getAttribute(pageContext.REQUEST) was not working
correctly with JSP 1.0; it was returning null. Now it returns the HttpServletRequest as it should.
CR 34478
In a cluster requiring two way ssl the cluster servlet does not propogate the certs.
This has been fixed.
CR 34538
In Windows 2000 enabling native io and starting the server using JDK 1.3.
The following messages were being generated in the logs: Could not initialize POSIX
Performance Pack and Unable to load performance pack using Java I/O. This problem has been fixed.
CR 34540
Now we throw a FileNotFoundException if the called jsp is not in the docroot.
CR 34648
Jview doesn't compile correctly a JSP with a directive to set the character
encoding. This has been fixed.
CR 34651
The correct error message is now sent when CMP bean fields are private.
CR 34694
Fixed a problem with Solaris where lots
of servlet calls on the cluster side were occurring using the HttpClusterServlet proxy.
CR 34859
Fixed a problem with HTTP Tunnelling causing the server to generate
error messages.
CR 34899
Fixed a problem with applet clients making t3s connections to the server. At high client
loads some of the Clients just hang in getInitialContext call.
CR 34907
Fixed error in routing logic when delivering exceptions.
CR 35012
The build date/time is shown for the native socket muxer
libraries if weblogic.system.nativeIO.enable=true.
CR 35161
HttpSessionBindingListener was not being called in a clustered webapp
CR 35169
In a web app with form auth set up to protect a given resourceNow,
entering the URL for the specified <form-login-page> itself, j_security_check will return this message to
the browser: Form based authentication failed. Could not find session. This problem has been fixed
CR 35231
Fixed a bug whereby a session bean could not be removed if its caller
was involved in a transaction.
CR 35328
Fixed a problem when there were more servlet requests than the number
of execute threads. All the requests were waiting for a message in the response queue which never arrived
because there were no threads left to process the message from the JMS client.
CR 35396
Doing a System.exit(0) in a jsp page was killing the server. This has been
fixed.
CR 35440
Fixed a problemn in JMS. The state of QueueSessions was corrupted when more than one QueueReceiver
was used. The result was lost acknowledgements. This change fixes some race conditions which lead to message acknowledgements being lost.
CR 35589
Fixed a problem retrieving mime-type. Added new property,
weblogic.httpd.unknownMimeTypeIsDefault=[true|false]. The J2EE spec says that getMimeType() takes a
filename for input as a String, and should return a NULL value if the MIME type is not known. By setting this new parameter to true,
the default mime type is disabled to allow null.(See
the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 35953
Fixed a deadlock problem in the server. The deadlock was due to synchronization
of two threads, one of which was waiting for the lock that the other was not releasing.
CR 36076
Fixed a problem getting thread dumps using Solaris
with the JDK 1.2.1_04. Users were getting the following output in the dump file instead of a thread dump:
Problem loading native lib. Can't dump threads. These changes are reflected in these two files:
bin/stackdump.dll
lib/solaris/libstackdump.so
This was previously addressed in Service Pack 7.
CR 36076
Fixed a problem generating a magic thread dump on Solaris and NT.
CR 36840
Added an option called superclass to the JSPServlet method of compiling JSPs.
This was previously available in the JSPC command line version, but now is also available in the JSPServlet init
parameters.
CR 368474
The ACL weblogic.allow.reserve will now work with non-default Realm groups
such as LDAPRealm-based Groups or RDBMSRealm-based Groups. This problem was also addressed in Service Pack 9.
CR 36077
Added new abstract class, weblogic.servlet.security.AuthFilter, which when implemented
by an HttpServlet, has several methods which are called just before and just after the authentication/authorization calls for all
webapps. See the example, examples.servlets.AuthFilterImpl icluded with this service pack.
This fixes a problem with declarative security used to authenicate users when it is necessary to do post-authentication processing
before the HTTP request is sent off to the requested targeted page.
CR 36136
There was a problem with the setBinaryStream implementation in the RMI and T3
drivers. This has been fixed.
CR 36196
Fixed a problem with the JMS connection pool when using setLong or setObject
methods on a callable statement and passing in a Long object.
CR 36269
Fixed a problem in JDBC with BigDecimals. Now we fully implement a getBigDecimal jdbc2.0
call.
CR 36462
The CMP EJB code was hardwiring JDBC 1.0 connections. This has been fixed.
CR 36499
The method getCreationTime() now throws a java.lang.IllegalStateException if
the method is called on an invalidated session. This follows the servlet 2.2 spec.
CR 36563
The buffer gets flushed after a RequestDispatcher include,
even if it is not full. This doesn't happen with small, simple text includes, but happens with larger
files. The same behaviour was occurring using both PrintWriter and ServletOutputStream. This has been fixed.
CR 36668
Fixed a problem with the weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator
working under the RDBMSRealm.
CR 36671
Fixed a problem with WLS 5.1 Service Pack 6's EJB
compiler. The compiler was not dealing properly with char attributes in a container managed
entity bean. Problems were occurring due to a char(1) field defined in Oracle, which maps to a variable defined as
a char on the java side. The server's generated code was failing to compile, because it was
trying to cast the result set of a query to a String, before placing it into the character
field.
CR 36769
Overrided the method getURLFile for HttpsClient, which was missing and
causing the message: "Using 2 way authentication with a proxyHost, URL's were being truncated while going through the proxy".
CR 36827
Added a new property weblogic.httpd.session.neverReadPostData=[true|false]
This prevents the server reading the post data in search of a SessionId. Anyone experiencing problems
with missing POST data should try setting the the property to true. (See
the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 36851
With Service Packs 2-6, ejbLoad gets called twice on a call to findByPK with CMP
read only entity EJB's. It is now only called once.
CR 36865
JSPs are recompiled even when JSPs have been externally recompiled using weblogic.jspc.
When compiling using weblogic.jspc and then requesting the same page from the browser, the server will recompile the .jsp. This has
been fixed.
CR 36978
Fixed a problem with the jsp:setProperty parameter when set to an empty string. This was a problem with jspc generating non-conforning code.
CR 36994
If the connection to the socket fails the server used to try to reconnect irregardless.
Now the server throws an exception and terminates unnecessary initialization.
CR 37008
WebLogic Server was using a relative path in the "Location" HTTP response
header. Now we convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response to the client.
CR 37035
Using NES Plugin with WebLogic Service Pack 5 and 6, NES was crasing on NT or starting a Core Dump on
Solaris when doing an SSI Include. This has been fixed
CR 37070
HttpClusterServlet goes into infinite loop when failing
over to secondary server. This has been fixed.
CR 37172
There was a problem when the
RequestURI length was more than 2k for an apache plugin. Now the server supports up to 4k (in accordance to the Sun specification).
CR 37173
The DDConverter was failing to convert the
"persistentDirectoryRoot" property to "stateful-session-persistent-store-dir"
CR 37291
When the java weblogic.jspc command was used with -encoding UTF8, it
generates a .java file in which the code is different from the generated java file in the same JSP, when this JSP is run in the
WebLogic Server. This has been fixed.
CR 37429
Transactions were not being rolledback when a system exception
like RemoteException or EJBException is thrown. This was resulting in resouces not being freed at the end of tx
commit or rollback and has been fixed.
CR 37698
Fixed a problem in JDBC where the java command utils.schema needed it's arguments set in
an exact order. When changing the order, nothing was being recognized other than the verbose flag. Now the arguments can be placed
in any order.
CR 37746
An error occurred when a Cascading Style Sheet (.css file) was requested that
doesn't exist. When the 404 error occurs, it causes a socket write error, and users were seeing their jsp pages being invoked twice.
CR 37781
This fixed a problem for users who wanted to use WebLogic Server clustering
in a WAP environment and utilize HTTP Get or Post method by HTML FORMs to pass the JSessionId. Previously, users had to shorten their
URL's extremely because of the WAP device's limitation in this regard.
CR 37782
Stateful Session beans can access their JNDI environment through java:/comp/env. The JNDI environment lookups were not working in the
beforeCompletion and afterCompletion callbacks when the session bean was running in the caller's transaction.
CR 37785
Fixed a problem on Alpha Tru64 5.0; now we provide a libweblogicunix1.so that can be run on port 80.
CR 37804
The implementation of form-based authentication for declarative
security was not preserving the current HTTP session when cookies were disabled and all URLs were encoded.
CR 37837
The Apache plugin now has the ability to proxy to different WebLogic Servers
or WebLogic clusters based on Mime-Type. Documentation on this will be posted at
www.weblogic.com/admindocs/apache_bridge.html in the near future.
CR 37873
The WebLogic plug-in wasn't fetching the client certificate from
Apache servers when service pack 6 was installed on the WebLogic Server.
CR 37901
Fixed a problem with seesion timeouts and javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(0)
CR 37951
PathPrepend in <Files> tags did not work in Apache when using Virtual Hosting.
CR 37992
Removed the limit on setting the HungServerRecoverSeconds parameter for NSAPI and
ISAPI.
CR 38018
Fixed a problem with Apache bridge on Solaris 2.7. The ErrorPage directive
was causing the Apache server to close the connection and return nothing.
CR 38050
Soft disconnect timeout RMI error messages are now more comprehensible.
CR 38062
Fixed a recent problem with the native performance pack for HPUX-11.
CR 38118
Fixed a problem with the ErrorPage tag where user's could not get their own error page.
This problem was only occurring with the mod_wl_ssl.so for Apache that was included with ServicePack 6.
CR 38376
Added weblogic.httpd.WAPEnabled=[true|false] property.
The plugin did not recognize sticky sessions when WebLogic Server was not clustered.
If the server is WAP enabled (weblogic.httpd.WAPEnabled=true) we
will not send the server info (JVMID) in non-clustered cases (See
the New WebLogic Properties section)
CR 38377
Fixed a problem with weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator
and RDBMSRealm.
CR 38592
When bound to the jndi tree, non-serializable objects such as javax.mail.MailSession
should not get replicated to other servers in a cluster. This was occurring and causing an exception. The server no longer does the
replication and this problem has been fixed.
CR 38730
With the Apache plug-in, the query string was sometimes being lost when using ap_internal_redirect.
This has been fixed.
CR 38832
Rebuilt the NSAPI plug-in for compatibility with Tru64.
CR 38833
Along with CR 34067, this CR fixed problems and enhances performance with LDAP realms and authenticating users in groups.
More information is provided in the HTML file 510sp7/relnotes.html that is included with this service pack.
CR 38840
Now we use fully qualified URL's instead of relative URI's when redirecting to a login page.
This fixes a problem with WAP gateways that do not accept partial URL's or URI's.
CR 38881
In cases where a directory structure is created for a session
and no file is created in that directory, the invalidation trigger was not cleaning up the directory structure.
This occurs when creating a session, putting nothing in it and invalidating it.
CR 38995
Fixed a problem with requests getting routed to the wrong cluster.
This was an issue with the Apache plug-in when using Virtual Hosts, multiple clusters, and applications deployed
on the clusters that use the same cookie name.
CR 39177
A new parameter has been introduced for the Apache plug-in, DisableCookie2Server=[ON|OFF]" (default is OFF). If set to ON, the plug-in will not use
the server information in cookies. This fixes a problem with WAP devices that have a limitation using cookies.
CR 39233
Fixed a problem in JTS with maximum timeouts. The maximum size of the timeout parameter for setTransactionTimeout()
was not taking MAX_INT.
CR 39238
Fixed a problem in JDBC where pools were hoarding broken connections. Pools which failed
to test or regenerate broken connections were sometimes not releasing the connections back to the pool.
CR 39341
Modified the behavior of buffering and rendering JSP's while using the Apache plug-in. Now we flush the buffer once data is recieved
from the server.
CR 39411
Fixed a problem that was causing the NSAPI plug-in to crash.
CR 39426
Fixed a problem when Oracle's thin driver returns a non-JDBC standard -8 value for TYPE
with a ROWID column, causing DbKona to fail. DbKona couldn't interpret Oracle's thin driver non-standard
TYPE value for ROWID columns.
CR 39673
When the header size is large the plug-ins were not properly handling the headers. When the total header size becomes large
the plugin can't read everything in a single chunk. So it reads some of the headers partially; this was leading to garbled headers and has been fixed.
CR 39839
Some entries were missing from the third field in the access.log file. This
was making it difficult for the log analysis tools. This was a problem with WebLogic Server 5.1 with service pack 6 while being
accessed via IIS proxy.
CR 40002
WebGain needs a notification following the linking of a class so that its debugger
can set breakpoints. Their own VM does this in native code. The other VMs used to get calls to classLoadNotify.classDefined
when GenericClassLoader resolved a class explicitly. Many classes, however, are resolved lazily right from native code in the VM.
The fix for this CR resolves classes eagerly when classLoadNotify is non-null and the VM vendor is WebGain or Symantec.
CR 40026
When we threw protocol exceptions we did not also include the URI so there was no way
to know what had possibly caused the exception. This has been fixed.
Service Pack 8
CR 40416
Using https from a web browser is causing a BadMACException. This has been fixed.
Service Pack 9
CR 28253
The AppletArchiver now supports the Java Plug-in--for both IE, and Navigator.
CR 28431
Fixed a problem in clustering with multiple, comma-separated, host names. For example,
using a java client to access EJBs (e.g. the stateless EJB example includeed with the Server) on a WebLogic cluster the following
syntax was not working:
java examples.ejb.basic.statelessSession.Client t3://host1,host2:7001
Now, such syntax works correctly.
CR 29007
A BMP findByPrimaryKey call now always checks the EJB container's cache before making a database round-trip.
CR 29639
Now we log the appropriate error message when the Server is started without a clustering license.
CR 30164
Now you can set the isolation level with finders.
CR 31072
Read-Only entity beans weren't failing over to another server under clustered environments.
CR 31148
Fixed some problems in EJB when finder methods for CMP beans were overloaded.
CR 31269
Added two properties to define a maximum size for POST and PUT
requests which can be used as a mechanism to defeat denial of service attacks. The two new properties are
weblogic.httpd.maxPostSize and weblogic.httpd.maxPostTimeSecs.
The default value of both properties is -1 (unlimited). If the maxPostSize or maxPostTime is exceeded, WebLogic sends an error message
(a PostTimeoutException) back to the browser and breaks the connection.
When the POST size is greater than the maxPostSize we return
a response with status code HttpServletResponse.SC_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE
and the connection is broken
Note: If the client has not finished sending the POST data it doesn't receive an error message from WebLogic. Instead it gets a
Connection Aborted error. Plugins will be able to handle this broken pipe and send an appropriate message to the browser.
Default values for both properties are -1. This means the maxPostSize and maxPostTime are unlimited.
CR 31604
Fixed a bug where EJBs with large Primary Keys caused OutOfMemoryErrors.
CR 31686
Fixed some problems in clustering when using Windowns NT and instate memory replication.
CR 31786
Added a new property for the weblogic.properties file: weblogic.login.logAllReadTimeouts.
By default this property is set to true. If you set it to false, the server won't log a message when a read on login times out.
CR 31968
Now, when a protocol exception is thrown, we include the URI to help discover what had
possibly caused the exception.
CR 32364
Fixed some performance issues with failover in RMI Objects in a cluster.
CR 32605
Now it is possible to do JSSE with WebLogic Server 5.1. An example has been provided with this Service Pack.
CR 33013
Fixed a problem with the JSP FORWARD tag when using a symbolic link.
CR 33423
There were dbKona problems with QueryDataSet and the OCI805_8 driver. This has been
fixed on Windows NT, but is still a problem on HPUX and Solaris.
CR 33935
There was a problem with the weblogic.httpd.enableEvents property. It has been fixed.
CR 34041
You can now rotate your jdbc log. We only allow you to do this based on date. You can specify how often we should rotate the log file and when we should begin that
rotation. (See additional information)
CR 34242
Fixed a problem when getting a LONG RAW column with ResultSet.getBinaryStream(), the OCI driver
GeneralProtectionFaults's when using Oracle 8.1.6 client libraries.
CR 34303
There were problems encountered in running some JSP examples from Sun. For example, the
tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tutorial/TagLibraries15.html#62465. The problem is that JSP Tag Libraries without
package names are not honoured by Weblogic Server. There is a work-around, see additional information.
CR 34351
We have added a utility (beasvc.exe) to install and remove WebLogic instances as NT services.
(See additional information)
CR 34389
Escaping Quotes were not working in the value tag for JSP parameters; the server now
functions per the spec-where quotations are to be escaped with \".
CR 35071
Now we conform to the Extended Log Format when logging String and Text data formats
by ensuring the value is in quotes.
CR 31331
There were problems enabling OS authentication and using Oracle 8.1.6/oci8 with the
jDriver. This has been fixed on NT and HP-UX, but still is an issue on Solaris. We have added an error message that reports this
problem: OS level authentication is not currently supported due to a defect in OCI 8 libraries.
CR 36008
Fixed a problem with WebLogic and JDK 1.1.7. EJBs passing an array of a user defined
object were causing errors only when used with this particular JDK.
CR 36671
With a char(1) field defined in Oracle, which maps to a variable defined as a char
on the java side, Weblogic fails to compile. We were casting the result set of a query to a String,
before placing it into the character field.
CR 36867
Now the server can reload JSP pages if its associated .class file has been modified.
To do this you must have pre-compiled your JSP's using the new -neverStale flag in JSPC. The JSP was not being updated if
it was requested before the pageCheckSecs timeout expired. This was preventing JSP's from being updated where the pageCheckSecs
was set to a longer time than the average frequency of requests to that page.
CR 36874
CachingRealm was only resetting ACLs with the delegate realm's information, but it
was also necessary for it to do it with the Group memberships as well.
CR 36945
Security roles were not effective for an EJB's Home interface methods. To fix
this problem, install the WebLogic_RDBMS.jar file from Service Pack 9 or higher.
CR 37097
Added ZAC support when using JDK 1.2 and 1.3 on Solaris.(See additional information)
CR 37398
Fixed a JDBC problem with OutOfMemoryErrors when deleting data from tables.
CR 37427
The Oracle 8.1.6 JDBC driver caused cluster's booting to be extremely slow.
CR 37693
There are no longer problems with the Oracle driver and ROWID selects when running
examples.dbkona.rowid.
CR 37893
Fixed getBytes() to return null instead of a zero-length byte array with Oracle LONG RAW columns.
CR 38229
The jDriver for Oracle 8.1.6 caused managed servers to run out of memory.
CR 38016
A request for a JSP whose source file no longer exists undeploys the JSP and returns
a 404. The server was not undeploying JSPs that were deleted from the file system.
CR 38245
Fixed a problem in EJB. Array data type method parameters were not handled properly.
For example, a transaction invoked by a session bean was null with container managed transactions
if <method-param> was set to byte[].
CR 38354
If there is no errorPage attribute specified inside the JSP, the server will use an error page specified by
the <error page> tag in web.xml.
CR 38623
A new parameter, compileOptions, can now be used in the weblogic.properties file under the
JSP initial arguments (JSPServlet.initArgs) or in web.xml as a <context-param>. Use this parameter to specify your compiler options.
For example:
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=\
pageCheckSeconds=1,\
compileCommand=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2_05/bin/javac -O,\
compileOptions=-g -O
workingDir=/home/weblogic/ivarServer/classfiles,\
verbose=true,\
keepgenerated=true
CR 38661
Compiling a JSP that contains an include directive with a relative URI was not resulting in the
file's path being parsed correctly.
CR 38986
Fixed a deadlock occurring in JMS under heavy load.
CR 39025
Fixed a problem with JDBCStore not recognizing the MS-SQL driver when it was modified by an ISV.
CR 39124
We now support SSL between a proxy server and a WebLogic Cluster
CR 39203
If there are multiple headers with the same name in a
request, the getHeader method returns the first header contained in the
request. Previously getHeader was returning the last header.
CR 39254
There was the wrong information in the SNMP Trap Agent field. The actual agent host's
IP address was not appearing; it was always being set as the localhost. This has been fixed.
CR 39285
A <cache-type> tag has been added to the <caching-descriptor> in the
weblogic-ejb-jar.dtd. The <cache-type> tag can be set to "NRU" or "LRU", and it is default to NRU. If the LRU option is
chosen, WebLogic Server passivates a stateful session bean after its idle-timeout has expired. When set to NRU, the bean is not passivated
after its idele-timeout has expired.
CR 39309
Fixed multiple problems with the UnixRealm. If you are using Solaris and are having
problems make sure you are at the correct PAM patch level.
CR 39314
Now we undeploy Stateless Seesion Beans on Server shutdown.
CR 39458
Fixed a problem including a .jar file in the servlet classpath in the weblogic.properites
file. After hot deploying the servlet using the WebLogic console, and then modifying the servlet class and rebuilding the Jar,
when reloading the servlet in a browser there were no changes in the servlet output. This has been fixed.
CR 39503
Improved performance with CGI requests.
CR 39768
When using the NSAPI plug-in, we now allow the JSP size to be viewed through the NES log,
when those files have been served by WebLogic through NES.
CR 39816
The server was throwing out of memory exceptions when a high number or requests per second
were made for session EJBs. This has been fixed.
CR 39825
A new property "weblogic.jolt.connectionPool" has been added. If this property is defined in the weblogic.proeprties file,
then the Jolt session pool will be started before EJBs get deployed. The following is an example of how to set this property:
weblogic.jolt.connectionPool.demojoltpool=\
appaddrlist=//bavaria.bea.com:27000,\
failoverlist=//bavaria.bea.com:28000,\
minpoolsize=1,\
maxpoolsize=3
CR 39882
Fixed some recent problems loading performance packs on AIX and Linux.
CR 39887
There was an issue with preparedStatement.setCharacterStream and the type 2 driver. This has been fixed.
CR 39904
In WebLogic Server 5.1 with CMP entity beans, finders-call-ejbload is set to true
by default. So, during any finder query, ejbLoad gets called. When this is followed
by a business method invocation, ejbLoad method is called again. This happens even
when both the finder query and the business method are running in the same transaction.
When the lock to the bean is already obtained and the bean is also loaded, ejbLoad
need not be called again during business method invocation. This was happening and resulting in twice
the number of database reads.
CR 40077
Using SHTML and server side includes, parameters specified in the PARAM tag
were not working. This has been fixed.
CR 40106
When running the server as an NT Service with JDK 1.3, the server was
shutting down when the user logged off the machine.
CR 40107
There were problems with nested (tags inside of tags) custom tags in JSPs. This has been fixed.
CR 40147
Enabled logging of ResetExceptions if weblogic.debug.httpd=true
CR 40402
Fixed a problem with RMI, occuring after hundreds of succesful calls to remote objects.
The client was exiting with a PeerGoneException.
CR 40249
We now support the use of single sign-on for Web Applications.
CR 40258
There were problems with user's losing their credentials--using JMS Persistence when disableGuest=true.
CR 40418
Some java.net.SocketException: JVM_recv in socket input stream read (code=10053) errors were unnecessarily
sent to the log.
CR 40481
Added a utility that allows Jolt pools to be reset. The following example files included in this

Fixed NPE when trying to get pool connection.
CR 40509
Fixed a small problem with Solaris 2.6 and the jdriver.
CR 40511
The ejbc compliance checker was giving the wrong error message if the super-interface
implemented Serializable.
CR 40526
On HPUX-11.0, native IO was not working with when using WebLogic 5.1 with Service Pack 7/8.
this has been fixed.
CR 40544
Fixed some problems with JMS queries and MS SQL Server.
CR 40598
Fixed some recent problems (as of Service Pack 6) with the type 2 JDBC Driver on Tru64-UNIX.
CR 40659
When specifying getParameter()--for example, <%= new String(request.getParameter(itemQ[i]).getBytes ("iso-8859-1"), "SJIS") %>
--encoding as iso-8859-1, the POST method was not working properly.
CR 40660
Fixed problems with the HTTPClusterServlet when using Solaris Servers in a cluster.
There were issues with the post data being read twice.
CR 40681
Now you can set the time to live when using the MulticastTest utility (utils.MulticastTest).
CR 40683
There was a problem with the performance pack not loading on AIX 4.3.3
CR 40686
The correct IllegalStateException is now thrown if a session is invalidated
more than once.
CR 40776
The JSP tags <jsp:include> and <jsp:forward> were not taking into account query strings
done in different encoding.
CR 40826
Now we attempt to show the username and password that were entered when a user submitted the wrong
credentials in a form auth. User credentials are forwarded to the error page specified in WebAppSecurity as long as this response has not been flushed.
Where the response has been flushed, the server has no choice but to send a redirect to the error page--without the form-auth user parameters.
CR 40829
Fixed a problem in EJB when a second bean (a Stateless, TX_NOT_SUPPORTED bean) throws
an error and the transaction started by first bean is incorrectly rolled back.
CR 40836
Network disconnects can cause WLEC connections to be used up.
If certain kinds of network disturbances occur, WLEC connections will get stuck in active use forever. This problem has been fixed.
CR 40851
We increased our internal cursor buffer to prevent errors like the following: java.sql.SQLException: Parameter cursor pool exhausted - make sure you call
Statement.close().
CR 40856
Added ZAC support for AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux on JDK 1.2 and 1.3. Also added
ZAC support for JDK 1.2 and 1.3 on the Tru64unix platform.(See additional information)
CR 40872
When a startup class took a long period of time to complete (~2 minutes), and the
session timeout parameter is relatively short (1 minute), the session invalidation trigger was firing only once. This means that sessions are never
automatically invalidated. Now this has been changed so that it is possible for the trigger to be rescheduled to run once an exception is
thrown.
CR 40878
Using the Apache plug-in, query strings were being trunctated when they included blank
spaces. This was only happening with redirects.
CR 40903
We now have an EAPI version of the mod_wl_ssl.so for Apache SSL with Raven on HP-UX 11.0.
CR 40928
Fixed an operation READ failed error on HP-UX 11.0 that was related to only partial pages showing up in
a browser.
CR 40977
Fixed a problem with the WebLogic plug-ins when there are multiple cookies coming from the browser
and the total length exceeds 1024 characters.
CR 41024
There was a problem with Service Packs 7 and 8 with Netscape and pages getting redirected to port:80.
CR 41029
Now the weblogic classpath can be read from a file. If -Dweblogic.class.path property starts
with a @ character, then the server will read the classpath
from the file that is specified next.
It should be set, for example, like this: -Dweblogic.class.path=@foo\cp.txt;
The class path should start with @ and end with ; characters. You should only specify one file to be used.
If the class path file is not available, or not specified correctly, an appropriate FileNotFound exception will be thrown.
CR 41062
We now support multiple entries in WlForwardPath when using the ISAPI plug-in.
CR 41093
Added a new property: weblogic.httpd.compileJspEnabled. The default is set to TRUE.
Adding weblogic.httpd.compileJspEnabled=false to the weblogic.properties file will disable compiling jsp's entirely--
please do not use this property unless you are sure that it is appropriate for your uses.
CR 41173
We have addded i-net as a known driver that can be recognized by JMS.
CR 41206
The plug now will add the missing "/" to the obj.conf if a user has forgot to place it in
front of a filename specified by DefaultFilename.
CR 41237
Fixed some problems in the HTTPClusterServlet when the connection header is set to close.
Connection: Keep Alive headers kept occurring and werer getting transferred to the client.
CR 41242
We have updated the JSP Cache tag. This fixes problems with JSP requests after the server has been restarted,
and when clients try to reload their browsers.
CR 41243
Fixed a problem in plug-ins with PathTrim and the <Files> tag using virtual hosts.
CR 41259
Fixed a problem with the <stateful-session-persistent-store-dir> tag when using Stateful Session Beans.
CR 41297
When, under load, the Server creates an instance of an entity bean and invokes a business
method without calling either ejbFindByPrimaryKey or ejbLoad. The result is a NullPointerException.
this behaviour appears to occur under load.
CR 41312
Now, when we throw a TransactionRolledBackException, we include an
embedded exception so that it is easier to figure out why the transaction rolled back.
CR 41320
Fixed some problems with headers (X-Forwarded-For) used by caching proxy engines.
CR 41335
Fixed some problems occurring in a non-clustered environment, when modifying attributes
saved in the HttpSession.
CR 41339
Fixed a problem in JMS with the IBM type 2 JDBC driver not being correctly identified.
CR 41343
Jolt Session pools were slowing WebLogic Server down when a TUX node/network failure
occurred.
CR 41351
Previously, Oracle's driver couldn't set the DBMS's transaction
isolation level, so WebLogic intercepted that call and did it via SQL.
Now Oracle's drivers can set the DBMS transaction isolation level, and in some cases where getTransaction-
Isolation() is called, the driver returns the wrong value because WebLogic was setting
it without the driver knowing. Now we leave this task to the driver and the server no longer interferes.
CR 41352
Added a performance enhancement to JDBC connection pools,
especially useful for CMP JDBC, which creates many PreparedStatements, and only uses them once before
closing the connection--caching PreparedStatements to JDBC connection pools.
CR 41387
If you called getUsers or getGroups with an NTRealm, the server's performance was very poor. This has been improved.
CR 41497
Fixed a problem with non-secure protocols and the use of JNDI from applets.
CR 41552
Fixed a problem with JSP compilation when using jsp:use bean and type is set to
an interface implemented by the class specified.
CR 41661
When HttpRequest.isUserInRole() is called on a servlet with an ACL
and after the user has been successfully logged in, a null pointer exception was thrown when using WebLogic Server 5.1 with
Service Pack 7 or 8. This has been fixed.
CR 41686
The file servlet was serving up files correctly through an open directory Web Application,
but not through a .war file Web Application.
CR 41687
The CGI servlet works now for Web Applications in a .war file, as well as in open directory
Web Applications.
CR 41755
When there were multiple, simultaneous requests for a JSP page using jsp:useBean tags,
sometimes the bean was getting instantiated too many times.
CR 41769
Fixed a problem connecting to a URL through HTTPS when using an applet archiver.
CR 41777
The HttpClusterServlet dynamically maintained a list of backend cluseter
servers. If any node goes down or comes back up, the HttpClusterServlet will update its dynamic server lists
accordingly. If somehow, the dynamic list is corrupted, the HttpClusterServlet now has the ability to use the static
server list instead. The static list of servers is provided by the initial argument "defaultServers" of the HttpClusterServlet.
CR 41804
Cleaned up some unnecessary error messages with transactions with no resources or
synchronizations.
CR 41888
Fixed a recent problem in Service Pack 7-8.
When an HTTPS Servlet/JSP request came into a WebLogic Proxy and then was forwarded to the Server
the Servlet/JSP was not executed, the browser received nothing and the request timed out.
CR 41900
Fixed some problems in JMS due to a change in Object Messages that was incorporated into Service Packs 7-8.
If you had any ObjectMessages that were in persistent queues with a pre-Service Pack 6 WebLogic Server, these messages were unable to be
read with a WebLogic Server with Service Pack 8. These problems have been fixed.
CR 41924
When calling a business method on a Stateless Session Bean with Bean-managed transactions
that throws a non-appException, the container was not correctly--per the spec--throwing a RemoteException back to the client.
CR 41950
Fixed a bug in JSP when calling the findAttribute method of page context.
CR 41973
Now, the only time when the lastAccessedTime of a session is updated is at the end
of a request related to that session--or when the session is created. This fixes a problem with
HttpSession.getLastAccessedTime() always returning the current time, for example, when using a tag like the following:
<%=new Date(session.getLastAccessedTime())%>.
CR 41977
When a Web Application creates an HttpSession and then forwards a user's request
to another Web Application, the second Web Application calling Request.getSession()
obtains access to the first session and all of its data--this second Web Application should have just created its own new session.
This has been fixed.
CR 42019
Using the mod_usertrack module from Apache, when the WebLogic Apache Bridge is
enabled, the configuration of the apache session tracking was being ignored. The the mod_usertrack module was not finding the
expected cookie.
CR 42022
: Fixed problem with the WebLogic jDriver and AIX 4.3.3.
CR 42028
WebLogic's implementation of getColumnDisplaySize() was quadrupling the character size
of nchar and nvarchar data types by taking the field size returned by MSSQLServer
in bytes and then doubling it. This has been fixed.
CR 42044
Some EJB logging messages were not being sent correctly. When the trans-attribute
in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file was set to Required, an application exception was
correctly thrown and not logged. However, when it was set to Supports (or any other setting) a correct logging
message should have been generated. The correct message is now sent.
CR 42054
Fixed problems with the RMI driver and JDBC 2.0 calls.
CR 42055
The weblogic.httpd.inputCharset property was working using GET, but not using POST.
CR 42067
Fixed some problems in EJB doing "where 1=0" queries with CMP beans.
CR 42081
The weblogic.httpd.session.persistence property no longer functions, use
weblogic.httpd.session.persistentStoreType. You can set the StoreType to memory, file, jdbc, or replicated. It will default to memory.
CR 42089
Using Service Pack 7-8, a Web Application could not have the name 'app'. This has been fixed.
CR 42145
Using a multi-byte enabled browser, with WebLogic Server and Service Pack 8
(this means having set weblogic.httpd.inputCharset./*=UTF-8 in the weblogic.properties file). The multi-byte characters are not
displayed properly by a JSP page.
CR 42161
The CGI servlet was having problems extracting scripts from .war files. This has been fixed.
CR 42175
Fixed problems with getBigDecimal and using MS-SQL Server.
CR 42204
When a broken CGI script cannot execute, the browser was showing a blank page rather than
an error page. When this occurs, now we send a 500- INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.
CR 41935
Fixed problems invoking an overloaded public method when connecting to an EJB as an RMI-IIOP client.
CR 42228
Now, according to the spec, CGI will recognize headers of scripts starting with -nph
and will not parse them.
CR 42277
Fixed some problems with the ISAPI plug-in when Debug=ON in the iisproxy.ini file.
CR 42295
Fixed extraneous NullPointerExceptions clogging up the logs in response to uncommon URL
requests.
CR 42326
Fixed a problem with the ISAPI plug-in failing to find the existing session id, and unnecessarily failing
over to the secondary server--creating a new request and causing lost sessions.
CR 42430
The RemoteException detail field was not being set correctly sometimes. If a first EJB calls a second EJB and the second throws a RemoteException with the
detail field set, the detail field is null when A rec
