==============================================
Migration Issues from Jetspeed 1.4b1
==============================================

The following are known migration issues:

1. Add a new column on TURBINE_USER table:

PASSWORD_CHANGED TIMESTAMP

2. Torque has been upgraded. See issue list here:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-1/supporting-projects.html

3. If you're using the Hypersonic SQL db, the primary key id columns have
been changed to auto-increment. To not use auto-increment, change your security-schema.xml 
back to using the ID_TABLE, add the new column, and regenerate.
You must then add the new column to your hypersonic database in production by edition jetspeed.script.

4. For XSLPortlet, "stylesheet.html" parameter has been renamed to "stylesheet.text/html".

==============================================
Other known issues and limitations
==============================================

1. In order to support multiple instances of a portlet per page, the parent abstract portlet must descend from
AbstractInstancePortlet (see Bugzilla issue# 13696).

2. Password reminder and password encryption features are mutually exclusive. Jetspeed passwords are encrypted
using a one-way encryption technique and therefore cannot be used in the password reminder email (see Bugzilla
issue# 19680).

3. If "action" and/or "template" portlet parameters are not declared as hidden, customizing the portlet may render it unusable (see Bugzilla issue #14830).

4. When "Menu pane" or "Tab pane" is selected as layout, "Add Portlet" button is disabled. This a voluntary limitation rather than bug. As workaround, set layout to something like "Single column", add portlets and switch back to "Menu pane".

5. Auto-login feature does not work when using localhost for the host name. A real domain name must be used or an alias must be created in hosts file (for example: 127.0.0.1 -> www.localhost.com).

6. The setAttribute does not work with no-cache option for dbpsml (see Bugzilla bug# 21063).

7. You may get a compile error on BaseLDAPObject in Japanese enviroment (see Bugzilla bug# 19488).

8. You may get schema violation on OpenLDAP 2.1.12 (see Bugzilla bug# 18694).

9. XML encoding parsing in URLFetcher may fail if 'encoding="' uses a single quote or if there's space before or after '=' (see Bugzilla bug# 13255).

==============================================
Logging usage notes for release 1.4
==============================================

The final release of Jetspeed uses Log4J directly, instead of commons logging or Turbine logging facilities.
Log4J is wrapped in the classes org.apache.jetspeed.services.JetspeedLogFactoryService and JetspeedLogger.
The JetspeedLoggingService introduced in 14b4 is now rewritten to log through these new features, in order
to capture the logging from Turbine. With these changes, all references to the Turbine Log class is removed 
from all parts of Jetspeed except JetspeedLoggingService.
It (and the TurbineLoggingService) will be gone in the next version of Turbine. At that time, the 
JetspeedLoggingService is no longer needed.

Logging can now be configured via log4j.properties or log4j.xml.

For more details, see the Configuration Guide and Coding Spec.

==============================================
DB Psml import usage notes for release 1.4
==============================================

Jetspeed comes configured with Castor Psml Manager service which uses files to store psml. However, sample
Hypersonic database has been populated with psml profiles for convenience. To switch to DB Psml Manager,
make the following changes in jr.props:

# services.PsmlManager.classname=org.apache.jetspeed.services.psmlmanager.CastorPsmlManagerService
services.PsmlManager.classname=org.apache.jetspeed.services.psmlmanager.db.DatabasePsmlManagerService

When importing psml profiles into database, Psml Importer will not import over existing psml. To change this
behaviour, modify the import task as follows:

        <java fork="true" classname="org.apache.jetspeed.services.psmlmanager.PsmlImporter" >
            <arg value="false"/>        
            <classpath>
                <pathelement location="${build.dest.dir}"/>
                <path refid="classpath"/>
                <pathelement location="${junit.jar}"/>
                <pathelement location="${hsql.jar}"/>
            </classpath>
        </java>

One of the common problems with import is key generation. This may not be apparent during the import process.
Actually, you may see message about successful import even if it didn't work. In these cases, it's best to
turn on Torque debugging in tr.props to see what went wrong:

services.LoggingService.logforj.log4j.rootCategory = WARNING, logforj

Then check the webapp/WEB-INF/log/jetspeed.log immediately after running import task. Actually, the method of
activating Torque logging will probaly change in Beta 5 but this method should still work in Beta 2 thru Beta 4.

In release 1.5, Jetspeed ships with an on-line utility to do the initial db psml population. You should configure
Jetspeed with DatabasePsmlManagerService, start it, login as an administrator and invoke the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/template/ImportPsml.vm

==============================================
References usage notes for release 1.4 and 1.5
==============================================

PSML Reference is a method of nesting psml resource within another psml resource. This is roughly comparable to 
object linking and embedding concept (for those familiar with M$ Windows). The customizer allows to select
a reference to another psml resource and it shows it just like another portlet. When portal page containing
references is rendered, the references are rendered as well. The most important feature of a reference is that
when the psml being referred to (source of the reference) is changed, all psml referring to it can see the change.
You may utilize references to create some interesting "newspaper layout" like effects. Here are known issues and 
limitations:

    1. The reference browser displays all available psml resources (including admin's) and therefore access to
    the "Add Reference" button is available to admin role only by default.

    2. A reference may only be included if it has a defined security ref. You may still select the reference
    for inclusion in your profile but the request will be ignored if the selected psml contains no top level
    security ref (a warning will be logged in jetspeed.log).

    3. A reference is read-only which means that you cannot customize the psml included as a reference.

    4. Because of the way references are being stored in memory, when source psml is changed, the psml referring to
    it will not see the change until it is refreshed (i.e. upon psml cache expiration).

Some or all of the above shortcomings will be addressed in the future releases of Jetspeed.

==============================================
JBoss usage notes for release 1.4b4
==============================================

It is possible to use Jetspeed with JBoss. Here are steps required to do so (compiled by Werner Ramaeker and also
available here: http://www.shiftat.com/blog/page/werner/20021027):

1. Get JBoss-3.0.3_Tomcat-4.0.5 from the JBoss site at sourceforge. 

2. Check out the current Jetspeed version from CVS. 

3. Build Jetspeed using the $JETSPEED_HOME/build/build.xml with ant deploy to generate the jetspeed.war 

4. Create a directory called jetspeed.ear in the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy directory 

5. Add a directory called META-INF to the jetspeed.ear folder, in the META-INF folder put the following application.xml 

<application>                             
 <display-name>Jetspeed on JBoss</display-name>                             
  <module>                             
   <web>                             
     <web-uri>jetspeed.war</web-uri>                             
     <contextRoot>/jetspeed</contextRoot>                             
   </web>                             
  </module>                             
</application>                            

6. In the jetspeed.ear directory : unzip the jetspeed.war file into a directory called jetspeed.war (explode the war file) 

7. Remove the following files from $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib/ : castor.jar, hsqldb.jar, hsqldb-plugin.jar 

8. Remove the following file from $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/ : hsqldb-service.xml 

9. Start JBoss from the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/bin/run.sh or run.bat 

Remark: 

In case you need your Jetspeed version to contact the internet over a proxy for example to get the newsfeeds : be sure to start JBoss's VM with the proxy parameters as follows : 

-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost="proxyserver name/IP" -DproxyPort="proxyserver port" 

Here's another JBoss related thread: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18415.

==============================================
Commons logging usage notes for release 1.4b4
==============================================

The final release of Jetspeed will use commons logging instead of turbine logging facilities. As an interim
solution, Jetspeed ships with a custom logging service that allows to use log4j directly. To activate:

        1. Add init-param "logging" in web.xml and set it to "org.apache.jetspeed.services.logging.JetspeedLoggingService".
        2. Change this in tr.props:
                services.LoggingService.classname = org.apache.jetspeed.services.logging.JetspeedLoggingService
                services.LoggingService.default = jetspeed
        3. Add this in tr.props:
                services.LoggingService.log4j.properties = /WEB-INF/conf/log4j.properties
 
Now you can configure logging via log4j.properties.

==============================================
Maven usage notes for release 1.4b4
==============================================

Maven build is a work in progress and will be complete for the final release. The major part still missing from
the Maven build is creation of the Torque object model and castor registry peers. So theoretically, if you use
ant build to generate these once, you can start using maven from that point on. Also, in CVS, there's a maven
jetspeed plugin (/src/plugins-build/jetspeed) which offers various options on building custom portals based on
jetspeed .war file or binary distribution (product of maven dist:build). In the future, this plugin will be
distributed with maven or available through maven-plugins.sourceforge.net.

The maven build was tested with version 1.0 Beta 9 of Maven.

The maven build is complete as of version 1.5. Tested with Maven 1.0 RC2.

==============================================
Eclipse usage notes for release 1.4b4
==============================================

The following is a list of notes when using Eclipse and Jetspeed:

1. Eclipse .project and .classpath files may be (re)generated using 'maven eclipse' command.

2. When running Jetspeed unit tests in Eclipse, make sure to set the working directory
to Jetspeed's build directory: Run -> Arguments -> Working Directory -> Local Directory -> \jakarta-jetspeed.

3. To run Ant tasks which require recompiling Jetspeed classes, you must specify the following argument in the task definition:
External Tools -> Ant Build -> <target name> -> Arguments -> -Dbuild.compiler=org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter

These were tested with Eclipse 2.1.1 and JDK 1.3.
