Description

BugTraq ID 4959703

Mahalo 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.
