Limitations for PRIME 3.12.4

Release date: 2020-06-17

Release note: Release note Nexus PRIME 3.12.4

Server-side card operations and self-service card encoding processes can fail

Server-side card operations and self-service card encoding processes can fail with a null-pointer exception in the PRIME log, especially on a fresh installation.


You must remove the bean definition that you add in this workaround once you upgrade to a PRIME version that includes a correction.


  1. Add the following bean definition to WEB-INF\classes\spring\custom-beans.xml of PRIME Explorer.

    Add this bean definition
       <bean id="tunnelServerContext" class="de.vps.act.frontend.admin.systemproperty.ContextVO" scope="prototype">
            <property name="contextVOName" value="tunnelServerContext"></property>
            <property name="name" value="serverContext"></property>
            <property name="propertyVOs">
                <list>
                    <bean name="primeUriProperty" class="de.vps.act.frontend.admin.systemproperty.PropertyVO" scope="prototype">
                        <property name="name" value="primeUri" />
                        <property name="text" value="property.prime.server.url" />
                        <property name="formatMask" value="#" />
                        <property name="type"><util:constant static-field="de.vps.act.kernel.datatype.DataType.STRING" /></property>
                        <property name="defaultValue" value="http://localhost:8080/prime_explorer"></property>
                    </bean>
                </list>
            </property>
        </bean>
    
         <bean id="systemPropertyBuilder" class="de.vps.act.frontend.admin.systemproperty.SystemPropertyBuilder" scope="prototype">
            <property name="systemProperties">
                <list>
                    <ref bean="smtpContext" />
                    <ref bean="licenseContext" />
                    <ref bean="hagXPIContext"/>
                    <ref bean="coreTemplateContext" />
                    <ref bean="mdmContext" />
                    <ref bean="processTimeoutContext" />
                    <ref bean="hideOpenTasksContext" />
                    <ref bean="tunnelServerContext" />
                </list>
            </property>
        </bean>

db_update requires Java 8

From PRIME 3.9, Java 11 is supported on the server side, meaning that Java 11 can be used when installing PRIME. However, the tool for initializing the database, called db_update based on liquibase, does not support Java 11.

To solve this, do any of the following: 

  • Before you install Tomcat and PRIME, install Java 8 and run db_update

or

  • Run db_update from another computer with Java 8 and access to the database

or

  • Run Java 8 only

Card SDK requires Java 8 

Card SDK for PKI encoding does not support Java 11. Clients used for PKI encoding via Card SDK must run on Java 8.
