RHBA-2013:1248 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated jboss-ec2-eap packages that fix a bug and add an enhancement are now
available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java EE
applications. It is based on JBoss Application Server 7 and incorporates
multiple open-source projects to provide a complete Java EE platform solution.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The timeout feature implemented in the jboss_user-data.sh script on JBoss

Enterprise Application Platform's Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) was not
functional because non-interactive Bash shells do not support job control by
default. Consequently, the virtual machines did not boot successfully if a
command in the script became unresponsive. This issue has been fixed by
explicitly enabling job control in the jboss_user-data.sh script, and AMI images
now boot successfully even when a command in the script becomes unresponsive.
(BZ#965315)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• The jboss-ec2-eap packages provide scripts for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise

Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute
Cloud (EC2). With this update, the packages have been updated to ensure
compatibility with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.1.
(BZ#967592)

All users of jboss-ec2-eap are advised to upgrade to these enhanced packages.
