| 31 | == Merging WARs with Packager plugin == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | We added a ##contextPathMapping## configuration parameter to the Packager Maven plugin to allow us to bind WAR artifact IDs to the context path where they should be extracted. Here's an example: | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 36 | <plugin> | ||
| 37 | <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> | ||
| 38 | <artifactId>xwiki-platform-tool-packager-plugin</artifactId> | ||
| 39 | ... | ||
| 40 | <configuration> | ||
| 41 | <contextPathMapping> | ||
| 42 | <!-- Merge the WYSIWYG editor WAR with the platform web WAR. --> | ||
| 43 | <xwiki-platform-wysiwyg-war>xwiki</xwiki-platform-wysiwyg-war> | ||
| 44 | </contextPathMapping> | ||
| 45 | </configuration> | ||
| 46 | </plugin> | ||
| 47 | {{/code}} | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | The Packager plugin looks for WAR artifacts in the list of dependencies. If no WAR-type dependencies are found then the following WARs are used, with the corresponding default context path binding: | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 52 | xwiki-platform-web: xwiki | ||
| 53 | xwiki-platform-tool-rootwebapp: root | ||
| 54 | {{/code}} | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | If more WARs share the same context path then they are merged. Of course, in this case the order in the list of dependencies is important because the last WAR can overwrite files from the previous ones. When no mapping is defined for a WAR, its artifact id is used instead as context path. | ||

| 67 | |||
| 68 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | * Jobs don't share the same ##ExecutionContext## anymore. | ||
| 71 | * The WYSIWYG editor administration section has been moved from the [[Administration Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Administration Application]] to its own module under ##xwiki-platform-wysiwyg##. | ||
| 72 | * A new Runnable wrapper to initialize and dispose ##ExecutionContext##:((( | ||
| 73 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 74 | Thread thread = new Thread(new ExecutionContextRunnable(runnable, componentManger)); | ||
| 75 | thread.start(); | ||

| 105 | {{warning}} | ||
| 106 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
