I thought this might be of interest to others. (Especially those of
us with customers running pre 5.3 versions of WOF. :-)
I've been looking at the files which are updated by
WebObjects5.3.3Update.pkg (version 8M1917). I did this comparison on
my ppc machine, with Xcode 2.4.1 and WOF 5.3.2 installed.
First off, a bunch of version numbers in various files are updated,
as we'd expect!
As per usual, you should always have backups in place before running
any update.
In this case, it's especially pertinent since some config files are
overwritten.
Anyone know why the following change was made in the update?
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/
WebServerConfig.plist
- WOAdaptorURL = "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/WebObjects";;
+ WOAdaptorURL = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects";;
Given that the patch is supposed to be updating DST issues, I
understand that this file has to be updated:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/Versions/A/
WebServerResources/Java/com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/
zoneinfo.zip
However, I was surprised to learn that there are 5 *identical* copies
buried in jar files:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/Versions/A/
Resources/Java/javafoundation.jar
+--./com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/Versions/A/
WebServerResources/Java/JavaFoundation.jar
+--./com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip
/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaFoundation.jar
+--./WebServerResources/Java/com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/
zoneinfo.zip
+--./com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip
+--./WebServerResources/Java/JavaFoundation.jar
+--./com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip
Yes, that last one is a zone archive, in a jar file that's in a jar
file!!
The following files are different but the differences were not
analyized:
(I suspect that the difference is because the files have been updated
by pre-binding.)
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebServicesGeneration.framework/
Versions/A/JavaWebServicesGeneration
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EOPlaceholders.framework/Versions/A/
EOPlaceholders
Hope that's helpful!
