Hi all,
+1 for releasing Synapse 1.3 anytime soon.
We have seen a lot of critical bug fixes as well as nice improvements during
the last couple of months which we should share with the community.

This is a very good point and I would like to nominate one first point. Don't
know whether we already have an issue for this. I may look around and either
raise a vote or create it...
--> Full support for Java 6
There have been a lot of users requesting this and from my point of view it
should be part of the next release.
<OFFTOPIC>
If you are interested to hear one of my special (off-topic) reasons why I
would like to use Java 6 to run the ESB with:
Java 6 supports runtime changes of
Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.ttl", myValue1);
Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl", myValue2);
which are actually recognized.
With JDK 5 I could not find any way to change this dynamically. I wrote an
MBean to expose those functionality. This way I thought it would be possible to
support internal server moves where the DNS names stays constant but the IP
changes. Unfortunately without having a possibility to change the default
behaviour of caching resolved IPs forever I would have to do a JVM restart of
the ESB or configure a hard value on startup and live with the tradeoff of
increase DNS traffic. With Java 6 the runtime approach works like a charm.
If someone has an idea to solve this with Java 5 I would also be very thankful!

Eric
