Upgrade Guide: Rice 2.1.0 to Rice 2.2.0-rc2-SNAPSHOT

Caution

We recommend backing up your database before performing any upgrade!

Upgrading the server database

MySQL and Oracle scripts for performing these updates are available in the following locations in the Rice distribution downloads:

MySQL

scripts/upgrades/2.1.0 to 2.1.2/final/update_final_mysql.sql

Oracle

scripts/upgrades/2.1.0 to 2.1.2/final/update_final_oracle.sql

Client Database Upgrade

There was a MySQL-specific issue that affected a client table, therefore you only need to run a client upgrade script for MySQL.

MySQL

scripts/upgrades/2.1.0 to 2.1.2/final/update_client_final_mysql.sql

  • wss4j has been upgraded from 1.5.12 to 1.6.7 (as per above)

  • Note that, by default, Apache CXF 2.7.0 depends on jaxb-impl-2.2.5 instead of jaxb-impl-2.2.6. The 2.2.6 version should be explicitly included (or the version forced using the depedencyManagement section of the pom). The reason being that if this is not done then the org.apache.cxf:cxf-java2ws-plugin might fail when running java2ws on JDK 1.7 if you are using @XmlEnum on any of your web service objects in which case you would get an error like the following when the plugin attempts to generate the WSDL: 

    java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl.RuntimeEnumLeafInfoImpl cannot be cast to com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl.ClassInfoImpl

  • The Logging interceptors now log using service specific categories/loggers instead of just LoggingInInterceptor/LoggingOutInterceptor. The names of the logger that is used is org.apache.cxf.services.ServiceName.PortName.PortTypeName. This allows the user to configure specific per service filters and formatters in their logging configuration. In KSB, these interceptors are added to exported services automatically. Because of that, existing Rice apps might use a log4j setting like the following to prevent SOAP message logging noise: 

    log4j.logger.org.apache.cxf.interceptor=WARN

    Because of the changes made to CXF, these should be changed to the following: 

    log4j.logger.org.apache.cxf.services=WARN
