Description

Bugtraq ID 5059954

Outrigger stores all of its attributes in marshalled form in its persistent log, including its initial attributes, whose code is supplied by its download codebase. When a codebase uses HTTPMD URLs, the codebase needs to be changed whenever the contents of the download JAR file changes, either due to additions or modifications in a patch release, or with the addition of attributes. Such a change alters the codebase of any attributed supplied by the download JAR file, either causing the service to drop them if the new export codebase has the same name, or else requiring giving the updated codebase a new name.

Workaround:
Rename the download codebase whenever its contents are changed and continue to supply the original codebase.
