Nirva Application Platform

h1. 4.8.000 Updates

h2. Bugs

* The date/time format for the http file cache were not set correctly. This could make some web files not accessible in servers with a local not in english.

* The output buffer was truncated if its content is longer than 256 byte in java procedures.

* The unicode option of the comand line was not working (-u option).

* The machine and local user name were not encoded correctly. This was producing a bad password error if the machine name was not ascii.

* The encoding of line feeds was not made between client and server for the session_open and session_close parameters. This could break the procedure parameters if there were some.

* There was an error in xslt transform for input xml message when the body was greater than the limit (parameter) for memory messages (1024Kb by default).

* The state of the web services operation was not kept after updating (re-install).

* The service renderer content type was not working.

* The application containers were not cleared after a failed application start.

* Renderer compilation was not working on linux.

* Log for web services was not working (nothing logged).

* The success procedure for scheduled tasks were not correctly implemented (procedure not running).

* The file origin was not transmitted from client to server in the OBJECT:SEND command.

* The double spaces in the MISC:EXEC command were replaced by a single space.

* The MAIL:SEND command was not throwing any error in case of error.

h2. Modifications

* Some exceptions of the perl interface were reported in logs as level 2 instead of level 1.

* Web files log now also logs errors when accessing files (instead of only successful accesses).

* Application init: If the init procedure fails there was standard message. Now the original error is also displayed in the info field.

* Speed up variable recognition process (command parser).

* Changing the way we write registry in order to avoid loosing information in case of crash (we use now file renaming).

* The service executable path may now be relative.

h2. New features

* Adding list of services required by an application (APPLICATION:INFO command) and list of running applications using required services (SERVICE:INFO command).

* Adding a removefile action in the package description file. This action removes the specific file or files in the target directory. Can be used with wildchard.

* Adding IPV6 protocol for TCP/IP. The server can be configured to listen on IPV4 only or both IPV4 and IPV6. Client can use IPV4 or IP6 address to connect to server.

* Adding a new NV_HTTP_HOST variable that gives the host http header of the original command.

* Adding a java interface log.

* Application start: adding a reason telling why the starting failed in the error message.

* Adding possibility to change the command variable identifier at application, service and command level (default is still # character).

* Adding a stop on error and stop on success option for scheduled tasks with repeat mode enabled.

* Adding the task name as parameter (NV_TASK_NAME) to task procedure (and task failed and success procedures).

* Adding listener name to the listener main and failed procedures.

* Adding an information telling when a task has been ran manually in the task list.

* Adding socket error information in error info field in a request.

* Security fix: Adding permission to display error info field to clients. Some information in the info field can reveal some server file paths so this feature corrects this situation.

* Adding a flag at application level to disable the trigger if one has been defined in the dsc file.
