EJBCA 4.0 alpha1 released

Hi everybody!

Eagerly waiting for the next major version of the best PKI software in the world? Now is your chance to try it out.

EJBCA 4 uses Java Enterprise Edition 5 (JEE5) instead of J2EE. This is a major improvement of the core, modularization, portability and packaging, but you will not notice many functional differences.

What else?

  • The database schema is fully defined through the Java Persistence API and table create scripts are provided for all the supported databases.

  • Many bugs have been corrected. For example EJBCA Services will run more stable in a clustered environment.

  • The Ingres database can now be used with EJBCA without patching the code.

  • A JEE5 compliant application server, Java 1.6 and Ant 1.7.1 or higher is required from this version on.


Since this is and alpha release, you can expect a few rough edges. Have in mind that there will not necessarily be an upgrade path from this release to EJBCA 4.0.0.
