Changes with Gentics Portal.Node 4.9.0


The java source code for this project will now be compiled for JDK 1.8. Gentics Portal.Node classes are no longer executable with JDK 1.7 and older JDKs.


Manual Change

The dependency to node-lib has been updated to 2.4.2, which includes an update of the logging library to log4j 2.17.0.

This requires the following changes:

  • The logging configuration file /Node/tomcat/conf/gentics/nodelog.properties has to be migrated to the configuration file /Node/tomcat/conf/gentics/nodelog.yml, in the log4j2 format. It is recommended to use the YAML format.
  • Projects, which depend on portalnode-lib and directly use any classes from log4j1 need to be migrated to use the corresponding classes from log4j2 (where possible).

Please see Log4j 1.x Migration for details.


This version of Gentics Portal.Node uses .Node version 2.4.2
