==============================================================================
Version 2.6.0 2010-06-01
==============================================================================
1. NEW FEATURES
CR10008982
Shop Adapter. The shop API (org:opencrx:application:shop1) gives a service-
oriented access to a subset of the openCRX API. The API allows to manage
customers, contracts, products, prices and activities. Application clients
(GUIs, XML-RPC servlets, JSPs, EJBs, ...) can instantiate the shop adapter
with new org.opencrsx.application.shop1.service.ShopServiceImpl() and then
use its public methods. The adapter itself delegates to the openCRX API.
CR10009335
SSL support for IMAP and LDAP. IMAPServlet and LDAPServlet are configured
for SSL support as follows:
* Create cert and key with OpenSSL (e.g. server.key, server.crt)
* Convert cert and key to PEM format using OpenSSL:
o Key: openssl rsa -in server.key -out server-key.pem -outform PEM
o Cert: openssl x509 -in server.crt -out server-cert.pem -outform PEM
* Use a Java Keytool which allows you to a) create a keystore,
b) import a certificate, c) import a private key.
KeyTool IUI (http://yellowcat1.free.fr/keytool_iui.html) is a good
choice. See attached screenshots.
* Add init-param to web.xml of IMAPServlet and LDAPServlet as follows:
sslKeystoreFile
/var/ssl/keystore.jks
sslKeystoreType
JKS
sslKeystorePass
changeit
sslKeyPass
changeit
* For IMAPServlet the port should be changed from 1143 to 1443:
port
imap:1443
* For LDAPServlet the port should be changed from 1389 to 1689.
port
ldap:1689
CR10009206
The AirSync servlet (org.opencrx.application.airsync.server.impl.SyncServlet)
allows AirSync-capable clients to synchronize with openCRX. The UserSettings
wizard creates the SyncProfile 'AirSync' which is used by the SyncServlet.
The SyncServlet synchronizes contacts (Accounts), activities
(Meeting, Task, EMail) and alerts (EMails).
CR10009196
LDAP Server. LDAP server added in org.opencrx.application.ldap. The
server allows to access contact information using LDAP clients. Below
is a sample query using ldapsearch:
ldapsearch -D "guest@Standard" -w guest -h localhost -p 1389 -b "ou=filter/All Accounts,ou=Persons" -l 100 -z 100 -P 3 ""
CR10008978
Captcha Servlet. Add servlet which allows to generate Captchas
(see http://jcaptcha.sourceforge.net/). The GetCaptchaServlet allows to
get captchas which can be used in JSPs offering openCRX functionality
for anonymous and non-authenticated users. E.g. AnonymousCreateActivity.jsp
accepts posts which create activities.
CR10008958
Tomcat Connectors: pause / resume. Tomcat extension which allows to start
multiple Tomcat instances with the same configuration and allow to stop /
start the connectors of these instances individually.
The class org.openmdx.catalina.core.ExtendedService allows to handle the
requested scenario. Adapt the server.xml as follows:
...
...
The system properties are set per Tomcat instance, e.g.
Instance A:
* -Dtomcat.server.port=8005
* -Dtomcat.service.port=8006
Instance B:
* -Dtomcat.server.port=8105
* -Dtomcat.service.port=8106
If instance A and instance B have to run with different versions of EARs/WARs
create a Tomcat directory for each instance.
Start instance A. The connectors are started.
Start instance B. The connectors can not be started because of port conflicts.
Switch from instance A to B as follows:
* telnet localhost 8006. Enter command stopConnectors.
* telnet localhost 8106. Enter command startConnectors.
If the property org.openmdx.catalina.core.ExtendedService.autostartConnectors is unset
or the property is set to true then the connectors will be started at startup of Tomcat.
Otherwise the connectors are not started.
CR10008960
IMAPServer: pause / resume. The IMAPServlet (opencrx-imap-CRX/IMAPServlet) provides a
simple GUI which allows to pause and resume the IMAPServer. The Wizard IMAPServer.jsp
available as admin-Root redirects to the IMAPServlet. The IMAPServlet accepts the
system property org.openmdx.catalina.core.ExtendedService.autostartConnectors.
If unset or set to true, the IMAPServer is started at startup. If set to false, the
IMAPServer has to be started manually.
CR10008961
WorkflowController: pause / resume. The WorkflowControllerServlet accepts the new
commands pause and resume. Pause stops pinging the controlled WorkflowServlets.
The new commands are available via the GUI. The WorkflowControllerServlet accepts
the system property org.openmdx.catalina.core.ExtendedService.autostartConnectors.
If it is unset or set to true the WorkflowController is activated on startup. If
set to false the WorkflowController has to be resumed manually.
2. CHANGES
2.0. CHANGED FEATURES
CR10009315
SubscriptionHandlerServlet. SubscriptionHandlerServlet must use a persistence
manager which is specific for the subscribing user.
CR10009198
PortalExtension: getDataBinding(). The signature of getDataBinding() has changed.
The parameter ApplicationContext app is removed because data bindings must not
depend on the application context. The new interface DataBinding_2_0 has been
added to support data bindings where the application context is passed as
parameter for setValue(), getValue().
CR20018907
Portal: Ajax-based login.
Login.jsp now first invokes the protected ./jsp/GetPath.jsp. The session
is not authenticated if GetPath returns the redirect URL to the Login page.
In this case the Login form is displayed. If GetPath returns the non-redirected
URL, Login.jsp forwards to the ObjectInspectorServlet without displaying
the login form. As a consequence /jsp/* must be protected in web.xml.
2.1. FIXED BUGS
CR10009299
Rendering contracts as RTF (cyrillic text).
Error: workstr.append("\\'" + Integer.toHexString(ch))
You are encoding UTF character as «\'hh» (h — hexadecimal digit). But in
RTF format UTF characters are encoded as «\udddd?» (d — decimal digit,
dddd — shift from beginning of UTF-8 table).
So, I think that correct version of this statemnet must be:
workstr.append("\\u" + String.format("%04d", (int)ch) + "?");
CR10009177
ICAL: ATTENDEE not updated. ICALs ATTENDEEs are not updated in activity parties
are added or removed.
2.2 REMOVED FEATURES
none
