Gentics Portal.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Portal.Node 4.1.1


Bugfix

Re-added the Profiler.war to the Update Package.


Bugfix

Some fixes and enhancements from previous releases were missing in the release 4.1, which have now been re-added:

  • Fixed the way, files are located in the File Loader of the Template Manager to avoid Exceptions thrown when Gentics Portal.Node is used in BEA WebLogic.
  • Fixed resizing of images using the GenticsImageStore, that have image/x-png or image/pjpeg as mimetype.
  • Fixed clearing caches for portlets due to modifications when used on WebLogic Application Server.
  • It is now possible to configure the context, under which JNDI DataSources for datasource handles are looked up. This might be useful when running in an environment, that does not bind the datasources under the context java:comp/env, as required by the servlet specification.

Bugfix RT51933

Fixed image resizing using the GenticsContentPortlet or GenticsContentModule: When the image could not be resized (e.g. because it was an animated GIF), nothing was returned. This behaviour has been changed now: the original (unresized) image will be returned, but still an error logged on the server.


Gentics Portal.Node 4.1.0


Enhancement

The new filter() function allows using instances of the interface PostProcessor to move complex filtering logic from the rule (which would be transformed in possibly slow SQL statements) into Java Code. See index term “Functions|filter()“ or “PostProcessor” in the reference documentation. Also see the PostProcessorExample in the SDK (which is described in the SDK Guide).


Enhancement

The GenticsContentPortlet will now render an additional Aloha setting so that Gentics Content.Node can hide the ribbon when the Portlet renders an edit view.


Enhancement

Datasources of type ContentRepository that use caching can now be configured to automatically fill the cache in a background job. See index term “ContentRepository|Configuration” in the reference documentation for details.


Enhancement

The Portal.Node Profiler was moved into an separate war file.


Enhancement

The Portal.Node build process was changed and thus the shared libs were renamed.


Enhancement

The Portal will now support reading of ContentRepositories that have some binary or long text attributes stored in the filesystem instead of the database. See index term “ContentRepository|Configuration“ (configuration parameter “attribute.path“) in the reference documentation and consult the Gentics Content.Node guides pages in the Gentics Infoportal for details about the feature “cr_filesystem_attributes”.
