Quick Role-Based Pointers

  • If you are a Developer → pay special attention to section 2
  • If you are an Administrator / Platform Owner → pay special attention to sections 1, 2, 3

1. WebStudio Configuration Changes

Property File Consolidation

All separate configuration files (rules-production.properties, db.properties, system.properties) must be merged into a single application.properties or webstudio.properties file.

Property Renames

Old Property New Property
repository.encode.decode.key secret.key
webstudio.home openl.home
design-repository.* repository.design.*
production-repository.* repository.production.*
user.settings.home Removed

Secret Key for Password Encoding

The new secret.key property enables encoding of password fields. Passwords ending with .password can be wrapped in ENC(encodedValue) format for secure storage:

secret.key = mySecretKey
repository.design.password = ENC(encodedPassword)

Removed Repository Implementations

The following repository factory implementations have been removed. Migrate to Git-based repositories:

  • LocalJackrabbitRepositoryFactory
  • WebDavRepositoryFactory
  • RmiJackrabbitRepositoryFactory

The default design repository factory is now:

repository.design.factory = org.openl.rules.repository.git.GitRepository

2. Rule Services Configuration Changes

Property Renames

Old Property New Property
ruleservice.logging.store.enabled ruleservice.store.logs.enabled
ruleservice.logging.store.cassandra.enabled ruleservice.store.logs.cassandra.enabled
ruleservice.logging.store.elastic.enabled ruleservice.store.logs.elasticsearch.enabled

Removed Deprecated Property Files

The following deprecated property files have been removed:

  • rules-production.properties
  • openl-ruleservice.properties
  • Related extension files

Migrate all settings to application.properties.

3. Repository Migration

JCR (Jackrabbit) repository implementation is no longer supported. Migrate all design repositories to Git by updating the repository.design.factory property.
