Apache Roller 5.0.1 RC1 files available

I've prepared a first Release Candidate (RC) for Apache Roller 5.0.1
and you can find it at the link below. At this time, these files are
ONLY for testing purposes and are NOT considered release from the
Apache Software Foundation.

   http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-5.0.1-RC1/

This release is exactly the same as the Roller 5.0 release except that
it contains these three security related fixes:

   Option to HTML sanitize weblog content
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1943

   Salt values in all HTML forms
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1944

   Moving to new versions of Struts and Spring security
   http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1231565

It is important to get this release out as soon as possible, so please
take a look at the release if / when you have a chance. Because the
changes are limited and this new release is now successfully running
in production at blogs.apache.org, I don't think we need extensive
testing. We do need to do some sanity checks.

Here are some things you can do to help test, in order of difficulty:
   - Verify that the files can be unpackaged successfully
   - Verify that the signatures are valid
   - Verify that the source release builds
   - Attempt to install and run the Tomcat build

blogs.apache.org read only?

The infrastructure team said that blogs.apache.org is currently read 
only until you release a fixed version [1]? Is there any timeline on 
when you will have this fixed, can you use some help?

Re: How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

You can get the details in Roller's install guide document. Use Mysql or
other Database to save your data, do not use the default Derby.

I have tried building roller src 4.0.1 .... but it gives the following error

{path}netbeans\roller-4.0.1-src\build.xml:32: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
{path}netbeans\roller-4.0.1-src\apps\planet\build.xml:214:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/Synchronization

i tried to add jta.jar but still it shows the same error

it seems to be the error for the missing jta.jar but i am not sure where exactly
i need to add the jar

Please share on how to resolve this

Thanks in advance

How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

Hi everybody,

I'm new to Roller and I just ran the source code of Roller, everything
works fine. I created a new user and a new blog.
But when I stopped Roller and ran it again, all of newly created data
disappeared, there is no user and no blog. I guess maybe the Derby cleared
the old data when it was started.

So, I just want to know how to keep the old data when I restart the Roller?
Or, maybe I can use MySQL for developing, how can I change to MySQL?

This is my first time to user maven+jetty+Derby, I'm sorry for this kind of
"stupid" question.

Regards,
Hongzhou

Why is Roller 5 slow on tomcat 7?

Hi Group,

I am trying to setup a new roller project. For me the Roller 5 is very
slow.  I saw a  couple of mails on web around memory leaks but in my case
even if I increase the MaxHeap size to 1gb (I did not change the
minHeapSize though), it still remained slow. And the memory is not an issue
because that memory was never used.

Before starting to do profiling or monitoring the application i wanted to
know if anyone else has experienced this issue and if there is any known
solution for this.  I have intel i7 (quad core) system, and its hardly
used. So computation power or memory is not an issue. I am using custom
template, and my guess is may be thats giving some issue.

I will appreciate any help in this regard.

thanks,
Vik
