Subject: Minor issue with Coefficient 0.9.6 release files

There is a small issue with the recent Coefficient release (version
0.9.6): it is configured to use the DgroupsDataLoaderUtil instead of the
default DataLoaderUtil. These DataLoader classes are used to populate
the default settings and menus.

The data loaders are configured in the hibernate_util.properties file,
as follows:

## Defines the class that contains my data loading method
data_loader_class=za.org.coefficient.util.ejb.DataLoaderUtil
##data_loader_class=za.org.coefficient.themes.dgroupsDefaultTheme.DgroupsDataLoaderUtil

.........................................

We will re-release the following affected files later today:
coefficient-core-src  (coefficient core source)
coefficient-ejb-all   (coefficient and all the ear modules)
coeffcient-ejb-core   (coefficient core only)
coefficient-war-all   (coefficient war with all the modules)

If you have already downloaded any of these files, it is possible to
patch them yourself by editing hibernate_util.properties, commenting out
the DgroupsDataLoaderUtil and replacing it with
za.org.coefficient.util.ejb.DataLoaderUtil.

Then run updateAllPropertiesEAR.sh/bat or updateAllPropertiesWeb.sh/bat
(Note: the coefficient-ejb-core release files do not contain these
scripts, so you'll have to update your .ear yourself)

Unless you had a previous Coefficient installation (in which case the
database already existed), you'll probably need to drop the database as
well, so that it can be recreated with the correct defaults. This is
only necessary if you did a fresh install of Coefficient and the
DgroupsDataLoader populated your (new) database with DGroups-specific
settings.

If you where to deploy only the coefficient modules it will not find the
DgroupsDataLoaderUtil and probably break.

We expect to have the patched files up later today.

Sorry for the inconvenience
The Coefficient developers
