Payara7.2026.6 Plus Multiple Library updates#12498
Conversation
|
Hi @qqmyers, |
For a bit more context, this comes from https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.11/container/base-image.html#build-instructions
|
|
The code changes here were due to other library updates, so I suspect that you'd be fine just deploying the newer Payara. You could update the payara bom version and rebuild the Dataverse war, but I'd usually expect compatibility across minor version updates. QDR often uses Payara versions newer than the recommended and have only encountered issues (which then get fixed in PRs we submit) when Payara or one of the libraries they use has had a major change. |
|
I just checked with @qqmyers and now I understand better that this PR could have only included an update for Payara. He just happened to include some unrelated library updates plans to roll out. |
|
that's good to know, thank you for the help :) |

What this PR does / why we need it: This PR updates multiple libraries used in Dataverse along with updating to Payara 7.2026.6. I'm planning to use all of these at QDR, but whether these should all be updated for 6.12 or not is tbd.
Which issue(s) this PR closes:
Special notes for your reviewer: There are a couple fixes for tests to pass because the updated libraries pull in a new XML processor. Using TransformerFactory.newDefaultInstance(); keeps the current one. Alternately we could use the new processor (TransformerFactory.newInstance()) and address the changes (it seems to be hardcoded at 3 spaces indent for pretty printing and I haven't checked for other differences.)
The PR also includes a couple test changes to allow them to pass on Windows - they were hardcoded to a specific line separator or the existence of a /tmp dir.
Lastly, there's an odd comment about jhove 1.34 in the PR - when I initially tried updating to it, there was a commons-compress conflict as some of the jhove modules pulled in an old version. I eventually solved that (by pulling in commons-compress first), but eventually decided to revert to the current jhove. (jhove 1.34 doesn't yet have all the modules packaged for maven and the 1.30 version separated the modules into separate maven dependencies. 1.20.1 is old, but for QDR I decided to stop working on it for now.)
Suggestions on how to test this: Regression testing - nothing should be changed with these updates.
Does this PR introduce a user interface change? If mockups are available, please link/include them here:
Is there a release notes update needed for this change?: release notes would need the normal payara version update instructions.
