Release Notes 4.13

What’s New

WFS Stored Queries

It is now possible to use WFS Stored Queries from protected services. When accessing stored queries, policies are enforced in the same way as when using ad-hoc queries to ensure a consistent behavior of security.manager. It is also possible to authorize individual stored queries as well as to block the use of ad-hoc queries, while only offering stored queries for accessing a WFS.

Tomcat 9

Tomcat 9 is now officially supported.
