RHBA-2015:0673 - Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.3 bug fix update

Synopsis

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.3 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.3 packages that fix two bugs are now available.

Description

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is the market-leading platform for innovative and scalable Java EE applications. It is based on JBoss Application Server 7 and incorporates multiple open-source projects to provide a complete Java EE platform solution.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, annotation scanning did not function properly when Java 8 syntax was used. Consequently, some deployments were not recognized and could fail to deploy. With this update, the use of Java 8 syntax and annotations in the same class no longer causes problems. (BZ#1193113)

• Prior to this update, Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) could not inherit a Java 8 default method. As a consequence, the use of an interface with a default method in combination with EJBs resulted in a CannotProceed exception at runtime. With this update, Java 8 default methods can now safely be used in the interfaces utilized by EJB implementations. (BZ#1193119)

Users of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.3 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
