Servoy 8.2

[jcompagner]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 8.2 (releasenumber 3103)

This version is available through our download site

The update site is: http://download.servoy.com/developer/8xx_updates/
This is the normal update site of the Servoy 8xx, so even you are on 8.1.4 you will get a update pushed. (if you accept to install it)
If you apply that one then please use the attached servoy_updater.jar to update the server part of the developer correctly also to the latest release. Overwrite the existing servoy_update.jar of your install dir.
(This is also needed if you just upgrade an application server!)

Just saw the 8.2 ClientManager demo - GREAT STUFF! Thanks to dev team and Sean for great work and a very useful example!

I am having issues on the MacBook Pro. Servoy hangs at startup. Server log says the restWSPlugin is responsible. Any suggestions?

[omar]

Looks like the application server installer file is not in the expected download location because manual installation from the terminal does not work either. Workaround for me was to download the installer and manually install the application server.
Note that the installer removes the MaxPermSize configuration parameter. Replaced it with the new MaxMetaSpace parameters with plenty of memory. It seems to start a little bit faster but not significantly.

Omar,

What do you mean exactly? you mean running servoy_updater from the command line of a 81x install to update it to 82?
See the comment i made in the first post, you need to use an updated servoy_update.jar that i attached to this post (and also already to the RC2 post)

MaxPermSize == java7 and MaxMetaSpace == java8+, they both do the same thing but just have a different name

Sorry Johan, missed that. I will actually read it next time instead of just scanning it

Hi all,

I've upgraded my server to v8.2 and the server doesn' start. I see this in the log:

Any ideas?

That could be an upgrade problem yes
You need to adjust the servoy_server.bat or sh file to be more in line with the sh/bat file that is now shipped with 8.2

I guess the best thing is to just take the 8.2 file and us that (if you never changed anything to it) or copy the classpath section over.

I succeeded with the updated servoy_updater.jar.
However, the overall update (8.2) still copies the wrong version. Also the 'Servoy Application Server Upgrade' page (https://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/DOCS/Servoy+Application+Server+Upgrade) contains a wrong instruction. It says one has to switch to the {servoyInstall}/application_server directory. However, that should be the {servoyInstall} directory.

What do you mean with copied the wrong version?
