Hi Eric
+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.
be a good time to also visit the open JIRA's and see what else are on
the high priority list.. maybe we could ask users to vote for JIRA's..
another way to 'get them involved' some more and make sure we address
real pain points..
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.
+1 I think we should be able to run on JDK 1.5 upwards.. however the
main problem is around the script mediator.. maybe we could have two
versions of this, and let the user choose the implementation - or even
better, detect the Java VM and switch it internally..
<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!

So I believe you do not want to set this to a specific hard coded value
in the startup scripts?
