The JVM java.locale.providers setting for DXP has been restored to the default value to account for the move to Java JDK 17 and 21.

Previously, DXP and Portal shipped with and recommended setting java.locale.providers=JRE,COMPAT,CLDR to provide consistent locale behavior for Java 8 and 11 since JRE was previously the default provider. With Java 17 and 21, JRE is now deprecated and the CLDR locale provider becomes the default and recommended provider. See further information from Oracle.

The new recommended value is java.locale.providers=CLDR,COMPAT as it is the new JVM default. The Liferay Tomcat bundles for 2024.Q4 will ship without this JVM property set, since we are using the default.

With this change the default provider, some locale information in the system might display with modified formatting. For example, a Date and Time display may have previously shown as “9/12/24 9:10 PM” but now displays as “9/12/24, 9:10 PM”. This is the expected result from moving to the latest Java locale provider that meets modern language standards.

This is a breaking change for Data Sets that are under BETA FF

• Anybody who created data sets before this epic will not be able to see them in Data Set Manager anymore.

• Data Set fragment configuration will no longer display previous data sets as options.

• Data Set fragment placed on a page will no longer show anything.

• The Data Set Views have been removed. From now on a Data Set has only a view.

• New Data Set endpoints are available and working under datas-et-admin (ex: http://localhost:8080/o/api?endpoint=http://localhost:8080/o/data-set-admin/data-sets/openapi.json)

• All Data Set endpoints are still available and working under data-set-manager but not used by the Data Set Manager or Frontend Data Set. Information from created Data Sets before this change is stored in them (ex: http://localhost:8080/o/api?endpoint=http://localhost:8080/o/data-set-manager/data-sets/openapi.json)

• What changed?
  Javascript from fragments is now included in the page using a <script> of type module, instead of embedding the code in a function

• Why was this change made?
  We wanted to leverage all the features available in the javascript modules: JavaScript modules - JavaScript | MDN
  For example: the ability to use import statements

• What is affected?
  Code that is not supported directly in a <script> tag of type module
  For example:

  • return statements outside the scope of a function

  • Automatic variable declaration, for example myVariable = 'value'

• How should I update my features or implementation to better adopt the breaking change?
  Code should be fairly easy to migrate, just remove any return statement, and for the variable declaration you either use let or const next to the variable name const myVariable = 'value'
  As a temporary workaround (would be removed soon), we have added disable to this feature. You have to go to Instance Settings -> Page Fragments -> Fragment Javascript and disable the checkbox

Changed the methods of adding a Collection to specify the ERC when is created. If a customer has Java code that is using these services they should modify it to specify the ERC (or Null) when is called.
