Roller 0.9.6 soon come

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

From the looks of Roller's JIRA roadmap, it looks like Roller 0.9.6 is not very far off, perhaps next weekend?

Perl v. Java... NOT

Anthony Eden's FreeRoller site had some Roller problems today and CWinters caught it as a screenshot. Man, I hate that! I noticed it too. I'm hoping that this was caused by a simple DBCP database connection pooling configuration problem. The Roller Installation Guide suggests a DBCP maxWait of 100 milliseconds which is way too low. The maxWait should probably be set to 20000 or 30000 milliseconds on a big site like Anthony's.

The problem may have been amplified by the Roller page caching mechanism. You see, Roller uses OSCache to cache weblog pages. If an error occurs, a page full of error messages might find it's way into the cache and not get cleared out until either the weblog's author makes a change or the cache entry times out. Maybe Roller should invalidate the cache when an error occurs? Hmmm...
