Chapter 5. Fixed issues

In prior releases, when WildFly OpenSSL was enabled, Thorntail applications would fail to boot.

This issue has been fixed in Thorntail 2.7.2. You can enable WildFly OpenSSL to use native OpenSSL libraries for TLS, instead of the Java implementation in the JDK. This improves the TLS performance.

This issue has been fixed in Thorntail 2.7.2. You can now use PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.15 or later with Thorntail applications.

The Thorntail 2.7.0 release uses SmallRye Fault Tolerance 4.x, which is no longer based on Hystrix. It executes @Timeout methods that are not @Asynchronous on the original thread, so CDI contexts are available.

@Inject
private MyService service;

@Timeout
public String doSomething() {
    return "Hello " + service.call();
}

In the example, MyService class is defined as @RequestScoped. The doSomething method uses a contextual instance of MyService. This example did not work in previous releases, because doSomething was invoked on an extra thread. In Thorntail 2.7.0, it works as expected.
