What’s New 61
APPLET context parameter for EJB clients
Beginning in EAServer 4.1.2, EJB clients that run as applets can set the
APPLET parameter for the
javax.naming.InitialContext instance used to connect
to EAServer. For more information, see Chapter 8, “Creating Enterprise
JavaBeans Clients,” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide.
Web application character set properties
EAServer 4.1.2 introduces new Web application properties that enable you to
specify input character sets. When the servlet engine initializes, it creates three
mappings for each Web application, one for the input parameters, one for the
input data, and one for JSP compilation as specified by these properties:
For information on configuring these properties, see “Localizing Web
applications” in Chapter 21, “Creating Web Applications,” in the EAServer
Programmer’s Guide
HTTP session attribute API change
If you call javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.setAttribute with null as the second
parameter, you now get the same result as if you called
javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.removeAttribute. In versions of EAServer earlier
than 4.1.2, this caused an exception to be thrown.
