Updating from a version prior to 4.4.6 directly to 4.5.x does not work. You need to first update to 4.4.6, then follow the update procedure described for the 4.5.1 release. Finally, update to 4.5.2 following the general update procedure.
There is an unfortunate issue, specifically when deploying under JBoss *5*: you will need to remove the Xerces jar from the Magnolia webapps: if deploying using WAR files, you can remove it from the archive, or with the following Unix command zip -d path-to-magnolia.war WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
. If deploying using an exploded directory, simply remove the WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
file. See MAGNOLIA-2577 for technical details.
If you get exception messages such as org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to create a new SAX parser
and/or java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration
, this is the issue you're hitting.
When deploying on Weblogic 10, there is a version conflict while using commons-lang
. While Weblogic-10 is distributed with commons-lang-2.3.jar
, JackRabbit and Magnolia need at least commons-lang-2.4.jar
. To resolve this issue, modify setDomainEnv.sh
of Weblogic and add commons-lang-2.4.jar
to the PRE_CLASSPATH
. Since version 2.4 of commons-lang
doesn't remove any methods, but only adds new API and fixes known bugs, there is no adverse effect from this change to the Weblogic installation.
Please see the list of known issues in the administration section for more details.
