Configurable CORS headers for Fuseki

From Paul Gallagher

Balduin Landolt @BalduinLandolt - javadoc fix for Literal.getString.

@OyvindLGjesdal - https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/2121 -- text index fix

Tong Wang @wang3820 Fix tests due to hashmap order

Explicit Accept headers on RDFConnectionRemote fix

from @Aklakan

** Java and Servlet versions

Java 17 or later is required.

Java 17 language constructs now are used in the codebase.

Jakarta JavaEE required for deploying the WAR file (Apache Tomcat10 or later)

** Language tags

Language tags become are case-insensitive unique.

"abc"@EN and "abc"@en are the same RDF term.

Internally, language tags are formatted using the algorithm of RFC 5646.

Examples "@en", "@en-GB", "@en-Latn-GB".

SPARQL LANG(?literal) will return a formatted language tag.

Data stored in TDB using language tags must be reloaded.

** Term graphs

Graphs are now term graphs in the API or SPARQL. That is, they do not match

"same value" for some of the Java mapped datatypes. The model API already

normalizes values written.

TDB1, TDB2 keep their value canonicalization during data loading.

A legacy value-graph implementation can be obtained from GraphMemFactory.

** RRX - New RDF/XML parser

RRX is the default RDF/XML parser. RIOT uses RRX.

The ARP parser is still temporarily available for transition assistance.

** Remove support for JSON-LD 1.0

JSON-LD 1.1, using Titanium-JSON-LD, is the supported version of JSON-LD.

https://github.com/filip26/titanium-json-ld

** Turtle/Trig Output

"PREFIX" and "BASE" are output by default for Turtle and TriG output.

** Artifacts

There is now a release BOM for Jena artifacts - artifact org.apache.jena:jena-bom

There are now OWASP CycloneDX SBOM for Jena artifacts.

https://github.com/CycloneDX

jena-tdb is renamed jena-tdb1.

jena-jdbc is no longer released

** Dependencies

The update to slf4j 2.x means the log4j artifact changes to

"log4j-slf4j2-impl" (was "log4j-slf4j-impl").

== API Users

** Deprecation removal

There has been a clearing out of deprecated functions, methods and classes. This includes the deprecations in Jena 4.10.0 added to show code that is being removed in Jena5.

** QueryExecutionFactory

QueryExecutionFactory is simplified to cover commons cases only; it becomes a way to call the general QueryExecution builders which are preferred and provide all full query execution setup controls.

Local execution builder:

QueryExecution.create()...

Remote execution builder:

QueryExecution.service(URL)...

** QueryExecution variable substitution

Using "substitution", where the query is modified by replacing one or more variables by RDF terms, is now preferred to using "initial bindings", where query solutions include (var,value) pairs.

"substitution" is available for all queries, local and remote, not just local executions.

Rename TDB1 packages org.apache.jena.tdb -> org.apache.jena.tdb1

== Fuseki Users

Fuseki: Uses the Jakarta namespace for servlets and Fuseki has been upgraded to use Eclipse Jetty12.

Apache Tomcat10 or later, is required for running the WAR file.

Tomcat 9 or earlier will not work.

==== Apache Jena 4.10.0

Released: 2023-11-01

Issues: https://s.apache.org/jena-4.10.0-issues

Announcement: https://lists.apache.org/thread/th447c7r0kl26s5f4j1nt5gj10dl8q5x

In this release:

* Prepare for Jena5

Check use of deprecated API calls

These are largely being removed in Jena5.

Jena5 will require Java17

jena5 Fuseki will switch from javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet

This will require use of Apache Tomcat 10 to run the WAR file.

jena-jdbc is planned for retirement in Jena 5.0.0

See the Jena5 label in the github issues area:

https://github.com/apache/jena/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Ajena5

* Development will switch to Jena5.

The 'main' branch is now for Jena5 development.

There is a branch 'jena4' marking the 4.10.0 release

Code: arq:httpServiceAllowed

or http://jena.apache.org/ARQ#httpServiceAllowed=false

to disable.

e.g.

fuseki-server --set arq:httpServiceAllowed=false ....

--

Additional restrictions and control for SPARQL script functions

https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/1908

There is a new Jena context setting

http://jena.apache.org/ARQ#scriptAllowList

which is on the command line:

arq:scriptAllowList

and java constant

ARQ.symCustomFunctionScriptAllowList

Its value is a comma separated list of function names.

"function1,function2"

Only the functions in this can be called from SPARQL.

As in Jena 4.8.0, the Java system property "jena:scripting" must also be

set to "true" to enable script functions.

== RDF/XML reader changes.

* The RDF/XML parser has been converted to use the

Jena IRI abstraction IRIx.

https://github.com/apache/jena/issues/1773

Uses of RDF/XML read through RIOT (RDFDataMgr, RDFParser) and from the command line "riot" should see no changes except where both WARN and ERROR were reported, now only the ERROR happens.

Code that directly calls the RDF/XML parser will encounter the behaviour seen from RIOT. Relative IRIs will not be in the parsed data. IRI errors are reported as errors.

The original RDF/XML parser is still accessible:

https://jena.apache.org/documentation/io/rdfxml-io.html

From the command line: "riot --set xmlrdf:xmlrdf0=true ..."

This is the first part of a move to convert the RDF/XML parser to be consistent with the rest of Jena parsing

1. unified IRI treatment of error handling and reporting throughout Jena

2. improve maintainability

3. allow for alternative providers of IRI functionality

== JSON-LD 1.1

* JSON-LD 1.1 is the default for parsing and writing JSON-LD

Apache Jena uses titanium-json-ld:

https://github.com/filip26/titanium-json-ld

JSON-LD 1.1 is largely compatible with JSON-LD 1.0.

The JSON-LD working group listed the visible changes:

https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#changes-from-10

If you find JSON-LD has changed in the triples generated, you can test

JSON-LD 1.0 compared to 1.1 with the json-ld.org playground:

==== Apache Jena 4.4.0

Released: 2022-02-02

Announcement:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/6dp7ogjhj09qon25fx2jsfgk3ljff9hj

The Apache Jena development community is pleased to

announce the release of Apache Jena 4.4.0.

== New Fuseki UI

The main item in this release is the updated Fuseki UI thanks to work by

Bruno. The UI has been rewritten for improved maintenance and style. We

look forward to evolving this new code base.

== Dependency Updates

Apache log4j is at 2.17.1

Apache Lucene: is updated to 8.10.1 -> 8.11.1

Titanium JSON-LD updated 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0

as well as all other dependences being checked for updates.

== Community Contributions

Erich Bremer

Jan Martin Keil

== Fuseki war file

The war file for Fuseki is no longer in the apache-jena-fuseki zip

download. Instead, it is available from the downloads page.

https://jena.apache.org/download/

This halves the size of the zip/tar.gz for the standalone server.

The Fuseki war file does not work in Tomcat10 due to the javax->jakarta

switchover. Apache Tomcat provide a converter:

https://tomcat.apache.org/download-migration.cgi

== Fuseki: HTML file upload support

Fuseki: serviceUpload (HTML file upload only service) is no longer added

in a default configuration. Existing configurations are unaffected.

This is not SPARQL GSP.

GSP (POST/PUT) endpoint accepts HTML file uploads as well as the usual

direct POST/PUT with content-type.

== Improved bulk loader

This release includes the version of the TDB2 xloader for very large

datasets.

It has been used to load 16.6B triples (WikiData all) into TDB2 and

loading truthy (6B) on modest hardware. Thanks to Marco, Lorenz and

Øyvind for running Wikidata load trails.

The loader now now has "--threads=" which been reported to give improved

load times (if the server has the hardware!).

== Assembler for GeoSPARQL

This makes it easier to use GeoPSARQL in a plain Fuseki.

Released: 2021-12-09

Annoucement:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/j6xqhbzxw9ct0owl5ghd8zrpz9lqn5pl

* java.net.http

There is a change to use JDK java.net.http package for HTTP. This

affects HTTP authentication.

See notes below.

* JENA-2125: Internal reorganisation of SPARQL APIs.

Coupled with the change to use java.net.http, new patterns for working

with SPARQL have been added.

https://jena.apache.org/documentation/sparql-apis/#changes

* JENA-2175: xloader

There is a new experimental bulk loader for TDB2 "xloader" and TDB1

tdblaoder2 is rename xloader. The TDB2 is better.

The target is being able to load large data on modest hardware. For

example, 1B triples and beyond, loading to disk rather than SSD. It is

reliable, rather than fast.

https://jena.staged.apache.org/documentation/tdb/tdb-xloader.html

tdb2.xloader is still in development to reduce its requirements for

intermediate disk space - please provide feedback, positive and negative.

== Notes

* HTTP usage provided by the JDK java.net.http package, with

challenge-based authentication provided on top by Jena.

* Execution objects (QueryExecution, UpdateExecution, RDFConnection)

have a companion builders for detailed configuration. Previous factory

classes remain but builders are preferred.

This is especially important for HTTP as there many configuration

options that may be needed (including template queries).

* Timeouts - remote only supports the overall query execution.

(connection timeout on HttpClient but due to connection caching and now

HTTP/2 it is unclear how meaningful that is per request)

* HTTP/2 support (comes from using java.net.http package)
