[Geoserver-devel] GeoServer 2.20.3 available for preflight testing

Hi Jody,

Yes, I have correct zip, but from the logs I found this entry:

2022-02-24 20:56:13.307:INFO:oejdp.ScanningAppProvider:main: Deployment monitor [file:///C:/ohjelmat/gs20rc/GeoServer/webapps/] at interval 1

So the startup.bat from gs 2.20.3 decided to use something from an older version (2.20RC) that I have used before and that I still had on my computer. I deleted the whole 2.20RC directory, started 2.20.3 again and now the logs show this

2022-02-24 20:59:38.495:INFO:oejdp.ScanningAppProvider:main: Deployment monitor [file:///C:/ohjelmat/gs_2203/webapps/] at interval 1

so deployment monitor points to correct directory and the user interface shows correctly 2.20.3.

I wonder what GeoServer version was actually started when I still had the 2.20RC directory. I still have 6 different GeoServer versions on my computer because I tend to start the same version that a user who has some problem is using. I think it has been working well. Is there something new in this Deployment monitor thing?

Hi,

I tried bin-zip on Windows 10 with OpenJDK 11. I did not notice any trouble. However, the welcome page shows ”This GeoServer instance is running version 2.20-RC. For more information please contact the administrator” and 2.20-RC appears also in Server Status – Modules page.

Artifacts available for testing here: https://build.geoserver.org/job/geoserver-release/43/artifact/distribution/2.20.3/

Release notes (no longer in jira): https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/releases/tag/2.20.3

We are still watching the windows job have trouble with permissions, it creates the installer though which is the main thing.

Not aware of any special needs for testing, there is a new ENTITY_RESOLUTION_ALLOWLIST to try out.

Whew!

There was a change made to startup.bat for this release:

I do not see any change there that could explain your challenge, is it possible you had the 2.20-RC instance running already and start.bat decided to connect to it?

Jetty (like tomcat) is willing to run several webapps folders at the same time (the difference between jetty.home and jetty.base} but I have never experiment with this myself.

I found that the following in the geoserver-2.20.3-bin folder provides a summary:
java -jar start.jar --list-config

If this happens again please check the above list-config for a clue…
