Unsure how to test further, after running the ApproveBlazeDS.xml script (or manually checking signatures and building from source, if that's your preference)? I've put together some steps that you can follow to test the sample projects too!
1. Download the BlazeDS binary distribution (zip for Windows, tar.gz for macOS and Linux), and extract somewhere on your computer. 2. Download the binary distribution of either Tomcat 10 or 11, and extract somewhere on your computer. https://tomcat.apache.org/ Note: Because we've migrated from Java EE to its successor Jakarta EE, BlazeDS 5.0 or newer is no longer compatible with Tomcat 9 or older. Note 2: You are welcome to skip Tomcat and test with other Jakarta EE servers, if you prefer. 3. Copy the .war files in [BlazeDS binary release]/webapps to [Tomcat binary release]/webapps. 4. In [Tomcat binary release]/bin, run startup.sh in a terminal (or startup.bat on Windows). 5. Open http://localhost:8080 to test that Tomcat is running. - If the page fails to load, the server may not have started because your JDK is too old. - Tomcat 10 requires Java 11 - Tomcat 11 requires Java 17 6. Open one or more of the BlazeDS sample apps to test: - Hello World URL: http://localhost:8080/hello-world Type your name into the input and click the "Say Hello" button to receive a personalized message from BlazeDS. - Get and Set Typed Object URL: http://localhost:8080/typed-object Enter some information into each of the blank fields. Then, click the "Save" button. Reload the page or open it in a different window or tab, and your information should be restored from the server. - Classic Turnkey Samples URL: http://localhost:8080/samples These are Royale ports of the original Flex sample projects donated by Adobe. Some have not been ported to Royale yet, but most are working. The few that aren't available are clearly marked. Several of the samples require a local database server to run alongside Tomcat. To start the database, open a terminal and go into [BlazeDS binary release]/samples/classic-turnkey-samples/sampledb. Then, run startdb.sh (or startdb.bat on Windows). When finished, use Ctrl+C to stop the database. 7. When finished, in [Tomcat binary release]/bin, run shutdown.sh (or shutdown.bat on Windows). -- Josh Tynjala Bowler Hat LLC https://bowlerhat.dev/ On Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 3:26 PM Josh Tynjala <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Please discuss the BlazeDS 5.0.0 release candidate here and not in the > vote thread. > > Thanks, > Josh >
