Smartfrog 3.17.010 Released

Patrick Goldsack — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:19:40 -0000

This release brings everything up to date with what we've been doing; the full changelog is rather large

* This edition comes with a version of Hadoop which branched off Hadoop's SVN_HEAD in march; I'm bringing my branch up to date this week with the goal being merging back in to the main branch. It let's SmartFrog manage Hadoop components
provided you are not running with a real JVM security manager. We've got some tweaks in to the Hadoop code so it exists with a dummy security manager -one that does not validate anything- but on a real one, Hadoop refuses to play. You should therefore only bring up a Hadoop cluster on a network you trust. Given that Hadoop lacks any real form of security (callers are trusted to be who they say they are), this does not make a Hadoop cluster any more vulnerable than it was already.

* The JARs were all built on java1.6. The 4.x releases of SmartFrog will be Java1.6 only in the language and APIs used, this release and all future releases are preparing people for that by requiring Java1.6 in the JARs. People can still roll back to Java1.5 by making their own releases, as the source itself is still Java1.5 compatible. For now.

SmartFrog 3.12.036

This is a new release of SmartFrog, the Java-based, LPGL-licensed
distributed deployment framework developed by HP Laboratories. SmartFrog
enables applications to be deployed across multiple machines,
configuring different aspects of the system so that they are all
consistently configured, and managing the life-cycle of the application
as a whole. The project's home page is http://smartfrog.org/

The release artifacts are available at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87384&package_id=176308

This release is 3.12.036; built from revision 6457
of the SVN repository. This release has an extended language
with the ability to tag attributes, and includes the following items:

* Core smartfrog daemon, including services to manage files, start and stop
Java and native programs.
* Example components and applications.
* Ant support: ant tasks to deploy and terminate applications from a build.
* Ant components: the ability to execute ant tasks in a deployment.
* Anubis: a partition aware tuple-space that can be used to implement fault
tolerant systems.
* Database: components to issue database commands, and deploy HSLDB and MySQL.
* JMX: the ability to configure and manage JMX components, and to manage
SmartFrog components over JMX.
* Logging: integration with Apache commons-logging and Log4J
* Networking: email, FTP, SSH, DNS support.
* Quartz: scheduled operations using Quartz libraries.
* Scripting: support for BSF-hosted scripting languages
* Testing: Distributed JUnit and component testing with SFUnit.
* WWW: deployment of WAR and EAR files to application servers. deploy-by-copy
is provided for all application servers that support it, and sample templates
are provided to start and stop Tomcat and JBoss. The Jetty component can
configure and deploy individual servlets, eliminating much of the need for WAR
files and application servers.
* XML: XML support with XOM.
* XMPP: Presence and messaging over Jabber.
