Windows Security Update

Windows users of Resin 3.0.17 or 3.0.18 should upgrade to 3.0.19 as soon as possible.

Quercus: New PHP Applications

Quercus now starts up Wordpress and Gallery.

AccessLog shared-buffer

The access-log has a new attribute, shared-buffer. The default behavior is to use the shared buffer (the current behavior.) If shared-buffer is disabled, each request will use its own buffer for logging requests. In some situations, the separate buffer may reduce locking times.

LdapAuthenticator

dn-prefix, dn-suffix, jndi-dnv, user-attribute, password-attribute

connection-error-page

The server block now accepts <connection-error-page> for IIS.

wrap-statements

The <database> tag now has a <wrap-statements> tag (default true) allowing applications to use the native statement class.

prologue

Added a <prologue> tag to the <web-app>. The prologue is web-app configuration which is applied before any <web-app-default>.

The <prologue> lets applications define custom <class-loader> in the <web-app> and lets it be applied before the <web-app-default> or web.xml.

resource-default

Added <resource-default> tag as a default configuration for .rar files, e.g. classpaths.

redeploy-check-interval

Added a redeploy-check-interval to configure how long Resin should wait to restart a failed web-app.

JaasAuthenticator

The JaasAuthenticator will now look for isUserInRole and getRoles in the Principal returned by the authenticator to support the servlet isUserInRole call.

log/rollover-count

rollover-count is now allowed for <log>

log/path-format

The path-format option to the logs, including access-log can now accept .gz extensions. The logs will be compressed as they are written.

select-manager

The <select-manager> tag replaces the <enable-select-manager/> introduced in 3.0.18.

JspServlet

The number of JSP .class files cached can now be configured in the JSP servlet. This affects the memory usage in the permanent memory space.

<servlet servlet-name="resin-jsp"
            servlet-class="com.caucho.jsp.JspServlet">
  <init>
    <load-tld-on-init>false</load-tld-on-init>
    <page-cache-max>1024</page-cache-max>
  </init>
  <load-on-startup/>
</servlet>

This fix is related to the OOM/PermMax issues some people have been running into with large numbers of JSP files.
