126
127 == General Notes ==
128
129 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
130 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
131 ** ##xwiki.properties##
132 ** ##web.xml##
133 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
134 * Add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## in ##xwiki.cfg## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
135
136 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
137
138 === Move to Jersey ===
139
140 The XWiki REST API used to depend on Restlet, and has now been moved to Jersey 2.
141
142 We took great care to keep the same behavior as much as possible, but there are some differences:
143
144 * If you were using directly any Restlet class (which was something not recommended), your code won't work anymore.
145 * There were some bugs in the Restlet implementation of the ##URIBuilder## class. They are fixed in Jersey. One that was existing when Restlet was used was that Restlet was not escaping ##/## characters contained in parameters passed to the ##URIBuilder## class. So, if your code was depending on this behavior, you are going to have problems, and you'll need to split the parameters into several Strings instead (this should work fine with Restlet too if you want to fix the issue while staying on XWiki < 16.2.0).
146 * Restlet added a lot of custom behaviors on top of JAX-RS and HTTP specifications, especially regarding the special meaning of some URL parameters. We only kept what was documented in the [[XWiki REST API>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]] (the ##media## parameter, which allows overwriting the HTTP request Accept value, and the ##method## parameter, which allows to overwrite the HTTP request method, both of which are only here for retro-compatibility reasons, and we highly recommend to use standard HTTP instead).
147
148 === Upgrade to Antlr 4.10+ ===
149
150 Antlr introduced a breaking change in version 4.10, which makes it impossible to run code built with a version of Antlr 4 lower than 4.10.
151
152 === Upgrade to Solr 9 ===
153
154 XWiki now expects Solr 9 to be installed. There is nothing special to do if you use the embedded Solr server (the default, which has been moved to Solr 9) but if you have a standalone Solr server, you need to Solr 9 (Using Solr 8 with XWiki 16.2.0+ has not been tested and is not supported). There is an automatic migration of the data from Lucene 8 to 9 format but for this you need to setup new cores as explained in the [[remote Solr server instructions>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search API||anchor="HSetuparemoteSolrserver"]].
