JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2 Update 5 Release Notes

Updated -

In order to better meet customer expectations, micro releases for JBoss EAP 7 have been discontinued and replaced with updates delivered on a repeating schedule.

Each new update will contain a number of bug fixes for customer reported issues and potentially a number of security fixes. We expect that the updates will substantially reduce the number of individual patches that we produce and that customers must manage to keep their installations up to date.

For more information see the following Red Hat Knowledgebase articles: Maintenance Release Changes in EAP 6.2+ and Updated Patch Management with EAP 6.2+

This update includes all fixes and changes from JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2 Update 04

Notes

  • SAAJ 1.3 is deprecated in JBoss EAP 7.2. SAAJ 1.4 will be the default in JBoss EAP 7.3 and may cause issues in user defined SOAP Handlers, if this happens the SOAP Handler should be updated to work with SAAJ 1.4 and the system property -Djboss.saaj.api.version=1.3 can be set to restore the SAAJ 1.3 behavior while the SOAP Handler is being updated, see more details.

  • The EAP natives for s390x platform (IBM zSeries) are only supported in the OpenShift environment on IBM zSeries, i.e bare metal installations on IBM zSeries are not supported.

  • The following tools are not in the OpenJ9 image (jboss-eap-7-eap72-openj9-11-openshift-rhel8) compared to the other EAP images delivered for other architectures: ["jcmd", "jinfo", "jstat", "jstatd"].
