This new release of DBPrism Servlet Engine have as principal feature SSO/JAAS support, feature not available on mod_plsql.
So, users can attach, for example, Apex applications with his specific single sign on mechanism and use this as credential to enable Oracle proxy authentication.
There is also some minor enhancement used on latest DBPrism CMS.

* Compiled against Lucene 2.3.2 production release
* Used latest API for merging based on RAM usage
* Use Writer for deleting during Sync
* Confirm 4x improvement during indexing reported by Lucene dev. group
* Fix workaround which changes order of the rowids in ODCRIDList
* Added an Spanish WikiPedia Analyzer for testing
* Reports IOException instead of RunTimeException to signal EOF or
File Not Found
* Decouple Flush functionality from TableIndexer
I would like to say thanks a lot to Michael McCandless for helping
to solve nice glitch with Oracle JIT compiler which causes that
DocumentsWriter class do not work on 11.1.0.6 release.
11g binary version have a workaround for this problem.
Oracle OJVM dev. team told me that this problems its not
reproducible on 11.2 and 11.1.0.7 versions.

ANN: DBPrism 2.1.1.1 released

DBPrism owner — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 19:43:58 -0000

This is a maintenance version of DBPrism 2.1.1.x release which is the fundamental part of DBPrism CMS 2.1.1 closest to be public.
For mod_plsql users this maintenance release has been tested against latest Oracle Application Express release and works fine.
Also with the addition of the Jetty web server runner you can get DBPrism mod_plsql functionality up and running only with the JDK, the JDBC drivers and the cms-applib jars.
Two Ant's targets are in the build.xml file:
ant run (Start the web server on port 8888)
ant debug (Start the web server on port 8888 and listen on port 4000 for the JDWP protocol)
These Ant's targets require the i.jar file which is a zipped version of the directory with images of the Oracle Application Express, if you have this directory, zip them and put as i.jar into the cms-applib directory, if not, just comment the unzip step at the build.xml file.

DBPrism web site mirrored at SourceForge

DBPrism owner — Mon, 27 Oct 2003 11:50:17 -0000

I made a mirror of DBPrism web site (http://www.dbprism.com.ar/dbprism/doc/Home.html) using SourceForge hosting facilities.
It is available at: http://dbprism.sourceforge.net/dbprism/doc/Home.html
Its faster than DBPrism website due to the internet connection of SF ;) but it doesn't have live functionality such as Searching.
Regars, Marcelo.
