We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Servoy 5.1.2 Final
This version is released as workaround to the unexpected webstart security level change in Java 6 update 19 (which led to unusable security dialogs due to bugs in Java 6 update 19 itself)
When installing this version all non Servoy beans and plugins have to be signed by there vendor! Plugin/beans developer should have a look here
This version is available through the download page on the Servoy website (developer section) and auto update.
Always make a backup of your current Servoy installation (directory and database) before upgrading.
To update eclipse open, Window → Preferences (update sites), change:
-Disable both eclipse.org update-sites, since there is a problem at the eclipse side!

Jan can you explain a little bit more?
Is this fix ONLY for Servoy itself and it’s plugins/bean?
Because we had the same issues with IT2BE’s plugin/beans( which btw, he is working on) or does this release, fix this also?
Do we need to contact all our plugin-vendors? or do they have an how-to, what to do next?
So it appears smartclient doesn’t run solutions on 5.1.2 server that use unsigned beans regardless of java version, it that correct? The solutions run OK in 5.1.2 developer.
Prior to Servoy 5.1.2 we were able to use the toString() method of the function objects and create new JSMethod object. This approach still work when running a SmartClient in the Servoy Developer but when attempting the same while the solution is running on the server we get errors:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error parsing function functionName…() {
[native code, arity=0]
}
The code causing this is similar to:
function someRealFunction()
{
…
}
function createResultForm()
{
var _resultForm = solutionModel.newForm(…);
var _functionCode = someRealFunction.toString();
_resultForm.newFormMethod(_functionCode);
…
}
Again, this used to work as expected prior to 5.1.2 and is still working as expected when run through the Servoy Developer but fails when running on the Server. Has there been a bug introduced (seems like it) or has there been some change in functionality which is not documented?
jcompagner:
yes this is an optimize that is done on purpose. its best that you don’t rely on the toString() of a function object…
Thanks for the explanation. I suspected something like this. We are already moving away from using this approach anyway, I guess this will be the last reason to make us do it
As for having such information available to Servoy programmers upon the release of new versions - I vote firmly YES! It is one thing to have the information available and choose how to use it and completely another to not know what is going on lose time trying to figure out what should be done next.
When will the jasperreport plugin(.jar) (and dependencies) be signed ?
Regards,
As Johan has highlighted, it’s already released. But it’s not including the latest version of jasperreports jar (jasperreports-3.7.1.jar instead of jasperreports-3.7.2.jar). So if you work on iReport 3.7.2 and need to use jasperreports-3.7.2.jar you have to sign it yourself and try to include it into Servoy without raising the “signed with different keystores” error, which is a pain!!
