I built Roller 5.1.1 with JDK 8, with the pom's compiler plugin
configured to build with 1.7. The build works fine on both JDK 7 and
JDK 8, both Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8 for me *locally* but for some reason
it's not working when I try to host it on my OpenShift blog (which uses
JDK 7 and Tomcat 7). One difference might be that the OpenShift already
has a 5.1.0 database on it, while the others start 5.1.1 with an empty DB.
5.1.1, when placed on a 5.1.0 instance, asks users if they want to
upgrade database tables. No tables are upgraded though (as expected as
there is none to upgrade) but failures subsequently occur when trying to
read the blog pages. URL's that would show a blog page like
https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/blog continually return 404s. However,
links such as https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/roller-ui/login.rol that
don't go to a blog page seem to work OK, but the subsequent page after a
successful log in fails. When I revert back to 5.1.0, everything's OK
again.
I'm going to try a local install of 5.1.0, then try to upgrade to 5.1.1,
if that works I'll post the builds for others to evaluate. If that fails
even locally, more work is needed... :/
