Hi all,

CometD 5.0.2 has been released.

CometD 5.0.2 is a minor bugfix release, see here for the list of fixed issues:
https://github.com/cometd/cometd/projects/13

Note that the Jetty dependency has been updated to 9.4.33.v20201020
due to a vulnerability discovered in Jetty, so you should consider
upgrading Jetty even if you don't upgrade CometD.

Note also that the resolution of
https://github.com/cometd/cometd/issues/905 makes stricter checks on
the channel names that client applications can use.
These checks were already performed on the server side, so chances are
that you were not using illegal channel names already and therefore
your application do not need any change.

Users that are still using CometD 4.0.x are encouraged to move to CometD 5.0.x.
Follow the migration guide:
https://docs.cometd.org/current5/reference/#_migration_40_to_50.

As a minor update, I have also released in the past days CometD 4.0.9.
This is a release that was made for CometD customers that have
commercial support (see
https://docs.cometd.org/current/reference/#_support), but is
available to anyone.
However, these releases are quite ad-hoc, i.e. they don't incorporate
all fixes and improvements that the 5.0.x line has. As such, you are
suggested to upgrade to 5.0.x as soon as possible.

Enjoy!

I migrated from version 4.0.9 to 5.0.2 of <artifactId>cometd-java-server</artifactId> <type>pom</type> as dependency in my pom.xml, but this does not trigger the inclusion of dependent modules. As a workaround I explicitly added the modules as dependency, i.e: cometd-java-server-common, cometd-java-server-websocket-common, cometd-java-server-websocket-javax and cometd-java-server-websocket-jetty.  Am I missing something?

That's a bit weird to depend on a type=pom, is there a particular
reason you do that?
How exactly do you depend on it?

That's better I guess.

Did you upgrade Maven as well?

Hi Simone,

I use Eclipse IDE and tried ...

Eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0) : Embedded Maven: 3.5.3/1.11.0.20190220-2117   
Eclipse 2020-06 (4.16.0) : Embedded Maven: 3.6.3/1.16.0.20200610-1735

"Note: Embedded runtime is always used for dependency resolution"

In both cases, without the <type>pom</type>, the pom.xml container is invalid ("Missing artifact org.cometd.java:cometd-java-server:jar:5.0.2").

I'm not familiar with Eclipse IDE so I cannot really help.
The artifact is there, it's valid and it should work when using Maven
from the command line.
If it does, then it's an Eclipse IDE issue.

Hi Simone,

To get away from Eclipse IDE, I created a simple Maven project as explained in https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html .  

As suggested by https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.cometd.java/cometd-java-server/5.0.2 , I added this dependency to the pom.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.cometd.java</groupId>
    <artifactId>cometd-java-server</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.2</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

When executing 'mvn package' on the command line (using latest maven 3.6.3) just this message is shown ...

Downloading from central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/cometd/java/cometd-java-server/5.0.2/cometd-java-server-5.0.2.pom

Inspection of subdirectories of '~/.m2/repository/~/.m2/repository/org/cometd/javaorg/cometd/java' confirms that 'cometd-java-server-5.0.2.pom' is present, but I can't find anything for the 'cometd-java-server-common' and 'cometd-java-server-websocket' modules.

I frankly don't understand what you're trying to do.

If you need the `cometd-java-server` you just depend on it with
type=jar and the transitive dependencies will be pulled consequently.

Why do you want type=pom?

Hi Simone,

I try to isolate my problem by creating a minimal maven project with "cometd-java-server' <version>5.0.2</version> as single <dependency>. I'm sorry, but the <type>pom</type> qualification is really needed. When omitted (falling back to default 'jar'), an error occurs when executing 'mvn package':

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project my-app: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.mycompany.app:my-app:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.cometd.java:cometd-java-server:jar:5.0.2 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)

When using <version>4.0.9</version> there are no errors: cometd-java-server-4.0.9.jar is downloaded and everything is fine.

So, what's the difference? Inspecting the two pom files, I see cometd-java-server-4.0.9.pom contains many <dependency> instances, while cometd-java-server-5.0.2.pom contains a couple of <module> instances instead.

I'm not a Maven expert. But it looks like dependencies and modules have different purposes. For building the "cometd-java-server' project itself, a multimodule design obviously works fine. Could it be that a third-party project, that just "uses" the 'cometd-java-server' artifact, needs a different kind of pom that only contains dependencies? See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35589017/maven-dependency-vs-module

All right, my apologies.

Artifact `cometd-java-server:4.0.x` has been renamed to
`cometd-java-server-common:5.0.x`.

I thought I put this into the migration guide but I did not.

Don't use type=pom dependencies.
Just update your dependency artifactId to `cometd-java-server-common`.

I'll update the migration guide.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for me being so thick.

Hi Simone,

Yes, 'cometd-java-server-common' did the trick. Glad the issue is solved :-)
Thanks for CometD. It's a great solution and I'm happy I had a chance to contribute in this minor way.
