Is it possible to upgrade from 3.0/3.1 to 4.0 w/o creating a roller-custom.properties? Here's what I tried:

1. Copied my current roller-custom.properties to Tomcat's classpath. 2. Copied my current context.xml to Tomcat. 3. Imported my existing database into MySQL.

When I start Roller 4.0 and go to http://localhost:8080, I get the following error on the UI:

An exception occurred processing JSP page /index.jsp at line 31 28: } else { 29: // dispatch to setup page 30: RequestDispatcher setuppage = request.getRequestDispatcher("/roller-ui/setup.rol"); 31: setuppage.forward(request, response); 32: } 33: 34: %> Stacktrace:

In roller.log, I see:

WARN 2007-11-05 10:46:37,271 WebloggerRuntimeConfig:getProperty - Trouble accessing property: site.frontpage.weblog.handle java.lang.IllegalStateException: Roller Weblogger has not been bootstrapped yet at
org.apache.roller.weblogger.business.WebloggerFactory.getWeblogger(WebloggerFactory.java:60) at
org.apache.roller.weblogger.config.WebloggerRuntimeConfig.getProperty(WebloggerRuntimeConfig.java:66) at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:55)

I realize I can configure roller-custom.properties with my database/mail settings, but I was hoping to use the configuration I already have (from JNDI). If that's not possible, let me know.

I believe this may be a common issue for folks trying to upgrade.

Thanks for all the help in that last round of testing and fixing including from (in no particular order): Matt Raible, Phillip Rhodes, Anil Gangolli, Jan Lui, Matthew Montgomery, Steve Elrond and Dehru Cromer. We found and fixed a bunch of issues, mostly minor, and the fix list is included below.

I have created a new release candidate RC9 and believe it to be ready for release as Apache Roller 4.0. Please do the tests and/or sanity tests you feel appropriate and VOTE!

Release files are here with updated docs: http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-4.0-rc9/

Roller Support files (themes and plugins NOT part of official release) updated here: https://roller.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList

Thanks, Dave

*** Weblog update ping results are not parsed properly

Minor issue with the ping response parsing due to the XML rpc client upgrade; the old client used to return HashTable; the new client returns a HashMap. I'm updating to code to expect any Map type. Reported by Steve Elrond FIX: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=587921&view=rev

When using 3.1 as a global administrator I was able to view, manage and edit a users blogs.
