Upgrades to V1.2

Pointers for installers who upgrade an existing DVN to V1.2

Config changes

When upgrading to v1.2, note the following GlassFish config changes:

  • JDBC Connection Pool DataSource ClassName changed to org.postgresql.ds.PGPoolingDataSource
  • New JVM option for GoogleAnalytics is
    -Ddvn.googleanalytics=<googleanalyticsTrackingCode>
  • New JVM option with customizable error logging is
    -Djava.util.logging.config.file=<GlassFish install directory>/logging.properties
  • New JVM option to locate Search index files is
    -Ddvn.index.location=<GlassFish install directory>

Also:

  • Upgrade JDBC driver for PostgreSQL to v1.6: postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar
  • Check the <GlassFish install directory>/config/asenv.conf configuration file and make sure that the AS_JAVA setting contains the correct <JVM V1.6 (JDK 5) install directory>

Very nice

Looking forward to this release
