Looks pretty good to me on Win XP with both tomcat and jetty (aside from
the problem with the links to confluence that Dave C already mentioned
which we should be able to fix without a rebuild). +1

The feedback on the candidate from yesterday was positive and most of
the folks reporting issues on the previous release have commented back
and indicated that those problems have been addressed. The most
significant issue being the race condition fixed by Dain as well as some
console issues raised by other folks. Thanks to all for their quick
turnaround of problems and comments.
Today on e-mail and IRC there was discussion about three additional
issues that were asked to be considered for the final release. They were:
Correct a script for Windows to reduce the verbosity of the startup.
(GERONIMO-1385)
Fix a problem with Tomcat Clustering GBean (I think Jeff is opening a
JIRA for this one)
Security issue where the user requested secure pages but they were not
being honored by the server and potentially left them insecure
(GERONIMO-1384).
After talking with Aaron, Jeff and John about the impacts I decided to
apply their fixes to the 1.0 branch to build and test them. My
rationale was as follows (-1's on my thinking welcome...we'll not
really...but I'll accept them):
- We indicated that clustering would be available in 1.0. We knew there
was an issue and Jeff had the fix in hand. Given that we had to re-run
CTS and this fix was simple and localized I felt that it was important
enough for the project to be included.
- The security error was significant in that the user had no warning
that a requested feature would not be honored. The fix provided by
Aaron effectively detected the condition at deployment and aborted with
an error message telling the user what was wrong and to take corrective
action. A better fix is planned but was beyond the scope of 1.0 so this
stop-gap is sufficient for 1.0.
- The verbose batch script on Windows was providing a lot of extra and
unnecessary information and since that is the user's first impression I
felt it was important enough to address for 1.0 and included that as well.
That said, as release manager I am officially declaring the release
closed barring TCK failures or any other serious issues. Serious in my
mind means corrupted data or intolerable outcomes.
That said, the new build is available at
http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/geronimo-1.0 and the file names are:
geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.0-20051219.zip
geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.0-20051219.tar.gz
geronimo-jetty-tomcat-1.0-20051219.zip
geronimo-jetty-tomcat-1.0-20051219.tar.gz
Please take time to review the builds and provide your feedback. As
noted above, barring a catastrophe this will be the release that will go
out as 1.0. There are many additional features and fixes we want to get
into the release but we also need to get a release to our users.
Assuming the TCK passes and there is no negative feedback then we'll
start a vote for the release. TCK testing was started around 0300 EST
on 12/19.
It is very important to take the 30 minutes needed to download and test
the server. Please take that precious time sooner than later :)
