This topic provides information about things you need to check and extra tasks you may need to perform when upgrading your XperienCentral installation to a specific version. The modifications per version are not cumulative which means that you need to apply the changes for all versions between your current version and the one you are upgrading to. For example, if you upgrade from XperienCentral R28 to R32, you need to apply the changes described in this topic for all versions from R29 up to and including R32. For general upgrade information, see Upgrading a Linux Installation or Upgrading a Windows Installation.

Deprecated Media Repository Method Removed

The following method which was deprecated in 2009 has been removed from nl.gx.webmanager.cms.mediarepository.MediaRepository:

Code Block
int copyMediaItem(MediaItemVersion mediaItem);

JBoss upgrade

From R34 onwards, JBoss 7.2 EAP is the supported JBoss version. JBoss 7.2 EAP and higher incorporates JDK 11 support. In order to upgrade, download the JBoss 7.2.0 EAP application server from https://developers.redhat.com/products/eap/download. See https://access.redhat.com/articles/2026253 for the supported configurations. In order to run XC on the JBoss application platform, use the standalone.xml and standalone.conf delivered with the XC SDK. For more information, see the updated JBoss information on the Linux Server Installation page.

MySQL Connector Upgrade

  • In R34, the version of the MySQL connector has been upgraded to 8.0.26. In version 8.0.23, changes were made to the way that MySQL handles time zones and dates. The method getObject(columnindex) now returns a LocalDateTime rather than a String for any date/time columns, therefore any custom code that implements this method should be checked and modified if necessary.
  • A second change in the connector is the way time zone conversions are handled. In order to keep these settings the same as they were before the changes in version 8.0.23, the following parameter should be added to the connection URL
    in the connectionTimeZone=<server> parameter in the Tomcat server.xml . For example:

    Before:

    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/webmanager9?autoReconnect=true

    After:

    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/webmanager9?autoReconnect=true&amp:connectionTimeZone=<server>

    In the second example above, note that &amp: is used instead of &.

CSRF Approved URL Setting

A new CSRF setting has been added that allows you to approve URLs and bypass the CSRF checks. See the setting csrf_ignore_url_paths_regex in the application_settings section of the General tab of the Setup Tool.

Warning

Exempting URLs from the CSRF checks weakens the security of your channel(s), therefore you should exercise caution with this setting.
