RIFE 1.3.1 released

Below are the highlights:

  • Workaround for JDK 1.4 bug on Windows [ more ]
  • Bug-fixes to some new features that 1.3 offered [ more ]
  • Support for Derby network driver [ more ]

You can read the full changelog for more details.

If you are upgrading from a pre-1.3 release, it's a good idea to also read the 1.3 release announcement.

Workaround for JDK 1.4 bug on Windows

It turned out that people that were using RIFE on Windows with JDK 1.4 experienced very slow startup times and sometimes applications didn't even complete the startup sequence at all. Since nobody of the development team actually uses this OS and JDK combination, we never were aware of this issue until users reported it this week. It turned out that URLs with the syntax: file://C:/path/file cause JDK 1.4 to lookup C as a hostname. Of course this fails, but the timeout for doing so is by default 5 minutes. Imagine what happens when there's a number of entries like this ...

Anyway, we implemented a workaround and this issue is now a thing of the past.

Re: RIFE 1.3.1 released
Geert,

I found this site from your exchanges on a comment thread discussing ruby.

I just watched the rife swf walkthrough and browsed a lot of the documentation material. It's very impressive. But I'm having a hard time figuring out if the rife developer community is just you, and if it's been used on large projects that didn't include you. Are there others?

Also, if there's some material about how rife integrates with any of the dozens of other webapp frameworks and technologies (JSP, JSF, etc.,) , I'd be keen to know that as well.

There are so many frameworks already, the head spins...

Re: RIFE 1.3.1 released
Hi Alexis, I suggest that you join the mailing list and ask the other users about what they use RIFE for. We can discuss the integration there too.
