Known Issues and Limitations in Service Pack 1

The following are the known issues specific to the Web Space Server 10.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) release. Known issues for the 10.0 release are also applicable.

The previous content is not visible when you apply a patch (Service Pack) on an instance using HSQL database

Description:

Add some content, such as documents and images, using the Content Management feature on Web Space Server 10.0 installed on an HSQL database. After applying the SP1 patch, the previous content is no longer visible.

Solution:

If you are applying a patch, it is better if the Web Space Server instance is running on a database that can be used in the production environment. If you are using HSQL, the lportal script is recreated on undeploy/deploy of webspace.war. When you apply the SP1 patch on Web Space Server 10.0, webspace.war is redeployed and a new directory structure is created for lportal files. This causes the perception that the previous data is lost.

In Web Space Server 10.0, HSQL data is put under domain1/config. After applying the SP1 patch, the location for the HSQL data changes to var/webspace/data/hsql, which gives the impression that the database is being reset, as the old data is stored under domain1/config.

HSQL database is ideally suited for quick evaluation of the product. When you are in a real-time production environment, it is recommended that you use MySQL or Oracle 10g. No data is lost when you apply a patch on an instance using MySQL or Oracle 10g.

The following is a workaround to retrieve the previous data after applying the SP1 patch on a Web Space Server 10.0 instance using an HSQL database:

1. Move the lportal files which are under the domain1/config directory to the var/webspace/data/hsql directory.

2. Restart GlassFish.

When you access the Web Space Server instance again, all the data that was available in the older installation is visible.

OpenSSO Add-On installation via Update Center fails if the SP1 patch is not applied

Description:

The OpenSSO Add-On available from the Update Center has a dependency on the SP1 patch. When you try installing the OpenSSO Add-On from Update Center 2.1, the installation fails if the SP1 patch has not been installed.

Solution:

Apply the Web Space Server SP1 patch before installing the OpenSSO add-on from the Update Center.
