Specification Errata

• Class instances corresponding to system API and extension library classes are not bound to any context and can freely be passed across the firewall.
• Class instances corresponding to application classes are bound to their respective group context and cannot be passed across the firewall.

• Runtime attributes already defined in the runtime descriptor can be mapped to new values.
• New runtime attributes not defined in the runtime descriptor can be defined.
• Runtime attributes already defined in the runtime descriptor can be removed by mapping the attribute names to the special String token "<<REMOVED>>".
• New runtime attributes defined in the runtimeConfig parameter that correspond to application properties can be retrieved by the application using the JCSystem.getAppProperty method.

• The method signature has been modified so that initParams is of type Object instead of Object[]. The new method signature is as follows:
  

  Application newApplication(String moduleName,
                    
  
                             String declaredAppURI,
                    
  
                             String requestedAppURI,
                    
  
                             Hashtable<String,String> runtimeConfig,
                    
  
                             Object initParams)
                  

• When the application being instantiated is an applet application, the initParams value must be of type byte[] and must be passed as applet data in the bArray parameter of the Applet.install method.
• When the application being instantiated is a web application, the initParams value must be of type Hashtable<String,String>. The name/value pairs it contains must be set as ServletContext init parameters (retrievable by calling the ServletContext.getInitParameter). The new set of init parameters, if defined, overrides the complete set of init parameters defined in the web application descriptor.

• Instance creation: A static resource served for the request URI <context path><resource path> MUST have a real path in the form of <context path>/docroot<resource path>.
• Instance deletion: The content of the web application’s private file namespace, if any, MUST be removed, with the exception of the content of the docroot directory (<context path>/docroot) which remains part of the web application module’s structured hierarchy of directories.

• Instance deletion: The content of the applet application’s private file namespace, if any, MUST be removed.

• ///platform is a legal sourceURI parameter for platform events in both register() and unregister() methods
• IllegalArgumentException is thrown on unregister() when event URI is absolute and rooted in an event namespace not legal for the source designated by sourceURI
• unregister() method unregisters the specified listener previously registered by the current application for events of the specified type fired by the specified source(s)
• unregister() must not unregister a listener when the explicit source at unregistration does not match the explicit source at registration

• If the same task object is already registered, then the current execution state of the task may get affected depending on the value of the eager parameter:

• if the  eager parameter equals false (the task  is only to be started after the next platform reset) and if the task is currently being executed, then the task's thread is interrupted (by a call to java.lang.Thread.interrupt()).
• if the eager parameter equals true (the task is to be started immediately) and if the task is not currently being executed, then the task is started.
• in all other cases, re-registration of the same task object will have no additional effect on the current execution state of the task.

• The query and fragment components of both URIs are ignored for this test (meaning, the implication test)
