Velocity Template Syntax Issue - Existing LogRend Instances

It is required to manually patch the existing nevisLogRend instance Velocity templates to the new syntax. Change the json.vm template to the new syntax by replacing line 26 to 28 with the following code:

"label" : "$guiElem.label" #if ($guiElem['validation-failed'] || $guiElem.value || $guiElem.length || $guiElem.format), #end

# if ($guiElem['validation-failed']) "validation-failed" : "$guiGroup.validationFailed" #if ($guiElem.value || $guiElem.length || $guiElem.format), #end

# end ## if ($guiElem['validation-failed'])

nevisLogRend 1.14.3.4 LTS - 18.05.2022

Breaking changes

  • CHANGED: The previous bc and jcan-log logging using log4j1 is replaced by slf4j using log4j2. jcan-log is now only used by the jcan-optrace, which relies on the slf4j implementation of jcan-log.

Log4j2 uses different a configuration structure than log4j1, and they are not compatible. If you are not using nevisAdmin4, you have to migrate the logging configuration manually. Check the default template supplied in the RPM: /opt/nevisauth/template/conf/logging.yml.

NevisLogRend requires a logging.yml file in the instance config directory. If it is missing, or the file is incorrectly formatted, a default configuration will log into the stdout which can be viewed in the systemd journal.

  • REMOVED: Not supported features and their third-party dependencies regarding JBoss, Wildfly and RHEL6 deployments are removed. (NEVISLOG-385)

LTS21 officially dropped support for these containers and the operating system, but some artifacts remained in place until this release. They are cleaned up for security reasons.

Changes and new features

  • NEW: The automatic reload of logging configuration is supported by using the monitorInterval property of log4j2.
  • UPGRADED: Jetty third party dependency is upgraded to to version 9.4.46.v20220331 (NEVISLOG-385).
  • UPGRADED: Commons-cli third party dependency is upgraded to version 1.5.0 (NEVISLOG-385).
  • UPGRADED: Guava third party dependency is upgraded to version 31.1-jre (NEVISLOG-385).
  • UPGRADED: Jackson third party dependencies are upgraded to version 2.13.2 and jackson-dababind to 2.13.2.2 (NEVISLOG-385).
  • UPGRADED: Auto-value third party dependency is upgraded to version 1.9 (NEVISLOG-385).
