Hello I'm planning to release Pax Web 8.0.3 with 6 issues fixed, including:
- Keycloak integration tweaks (see https://issues.redhat.com/browse/KEYCLOAK-19939) - refined session management (session per Osgi Context with single JSESSIONID cookie per Servlet Context) - two deadlocks fixes (Aries CDI) - gzip encoding configuration and Jetty RewriteHandler support With the above fixes, *I think my long term plan to refactor Pax Web ends*. It doesn't mean I quit, it simply means I don't plan anything new to add to Pax Web if there's no request to do so. IMO, the compliance with chapters 102 (Http Service), 128 (Web Applications) and 140 (Whiteboard Service) of OSGi CMPN specification (R7, but should be the same for R8) is sufficiently complete. I didn't run the TCKs, because I didn't have much time to understand how to run it in proper way ;) There's one obvious violation of Whiteboard specification wrt to context handling. See 140.2 The Servlet Context <https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.http.whiteboard.html#service.http.whiteboard.servletcontext> [1]: For example, if two ServletContextHelper services are registered as follows > > osgi.http.whiteboard.context.path = /foo > osgi.http.whiteboard.context.path = /foo/bar > > Then a request for http://localhost/foo/bar/someServlet is looked up in > the following order: > > 1. /foo/bar context looking for a pattern to match /someServlet > 2. /foo context looking for a pattern to match /bar/someServlet > > According to JavaServlet specification, context selection happens first and further resolution of servlets is performed within the found context. The above Whiteboard requirement mandates searching for servlets in other contexts. I've consciously NOT implemented the Whiteboard behavior, sticking to JavaServlet recommendation. Anyway - I hope Pax Web 8 is stable and fast enough to be used in production. There are much more tests than we had in Pax Web 7 and I've added complex WAR scenarios involving CDI, JSF and complex ServletContainerInitializer scenarios, including web-fragment.xml integration tests. I'll of course be releasing new versions if there's new Jetty, Tomcat or Undertow release - in Pax Web 8 we no longer require TIPI releases for Tomcat. If you see any problems or have nice feature requests, please create a GitHub issue at usual place <https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/issues>[2]. kind regards Grzegorz Grzybek === [1]: https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.http.whiteboard.html#service.http.whiteboard.servletcontext [2]: https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/issues
