One Search service application for multiple web applications in a single server

We are planning to host 17 Web applications in a single Server. Do I need to create search service application for each web application or I need to create one Search service application , create a Content source for each web
application and create a Result source for filtering. Which is the best approach. And which approach takes more RAM memory.
In my application I am using Search web part, "Recently Changed Items", "Popular Items" web parts. when I created only one one Search Service application for all web applications and using Result sources ,
I am not getting the results. What could be the problem.

Hi,
One SSA is ok, but you should think about access rights. If the access is clear cut between all the web apps you should be ok with one SSA. Multiple result sources limiting on content source also works, but could easily be bypassed.
Multiple SSA's will eat up RAM/CPU like a mother :)
As for popular etc.. it could be due to how those sources are set up, but haven't investigated or tested this much.
Thanks,
Mikael

Storing SessionManager or Server for multiple web applications

We currently have one enterprise application with 2 web applications installed. These 2 web applications must share the same session cache.
Toplink is installed as a shared library for both of these web applications.
What I am wondering is how Server and SessionManager should be utilized.
In our servlet initialization of web application one we get an instance of the SessionManager and assign the SessionManager to a static instance variable.
static SessionManager sessionManager;
sessionManager = SessionManager.getManager();
Now whenever we want to get a client session from either web application we make the call
Server serverSession = (Server) sessionManager.getSession("XXX");
From looking at the code for the sessionManager.getSession("XXX") I see that this
results in a synchronized method invocation which is in turn bottlenecking our database access code.
My question is should we not just be storing the Server in a static instance variable to distribute client sessions to both web applications and not the SessionManager.

Workflow Manager & User Profile Service Application for Extranet Web application

Hi,
Recently i have setup HA WF Manager farm and associated it with Intranet web application (on-prem). Now i want to use the same farm for our extranet environment (on-prem) but extranet environment is not associated with UPA. Since user profile application
is not available for extranet environment so workflow does not work.
Now if I try to use existing UPA or create a new UPA for extranet environment, then i am exposing users data to all partner and collaborators. But for workflows to work it is necessary that users profile should be there in profile database.
Is there any way that I can run workflows in extranet environment without exposing user profile data to partners/collaborators? Thanks.
-Prashant

Thanks for the reply Paul, but this does not solve the problem.
Actually in MySite web application external users group is not at all added with any permissions but just to check your suggestion i have given permission to externals group with Deny Read permission. Now UPA is associated to the extranet web application
and when i access user profile data using RESP API using a partner account I can still see the data. For e.g. I am using this URL
https://extranet.abc.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='abc\uname'
When I hit this URL in browser using partner account, it shows the profile data of the account passed in the URL.
MySite web application is https://mysite.abc.com and on this web application external users group is added under policy with Deny Read permissions. Thanks.

Distributed sessions for multiple web-apps in a single App. Server (v.8.1)

I have 3 applications on App. Server 8.1 (running on JDK 1.5)
App-A handles login
App-B and App-C are functions that are accessible after login is validated.
It works fine with App. Server 6.5 (JDK 1.3)
But the distributed session cannot be shared in App. Server 8.1 (JDK 1.5)
So App-A handles sign on and stores the user's Login Name on the session.
App-B and App-C read the user's login name from the session object and grant access to different modules.
1. Starting App-A and perform login
2. Starting App-B from App-A (it is linked there)
3. Starting App-C from App-A (it is linked there)
In step 1, a new session is created for the user, an attribute ("LoginName") is put in the session - ie. using HttpSession.setAttribute()
In step 2, the program checks for attribute "LoginName" from the session object - ie. using HttpSession.getAttribute()
If not found, redirect to login; if found, then continue with App-B
In step 3, same as in step 2 above.
It works fine with App. Server 6.5 but problem occurs in step 2 and 3.
web.xml of App-A, App-B and App-C:
<i>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>App-A</display-name>
<distributable/>
</i>
sun-web.xml of App-A, App-B and App-C
<i>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 Servlet 2.4//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_4-1.dtd">
<sun-web-app>
<session-config>
<session-manager persistence-type="memory">
<manager-properties>
<property name="persistenceFrequency" value="web-method"/>
</manager-properties>
<store-properties>
<property name="persistenceScope" value="session"/>
</store-properties>
</session-manager>
</session-config>
</i>

Distributed sessions has nothing to do with different web applications. The concept is about distributing load for the same application between several appserver instances running on the same box(different jvm) or on some other box in the network.
What you used with iAS 6.5 is not available in 8.1 because sharing sessions between web apps is forbidden by the servlet spec. You should consider repackaging your apps. into a single web app. or using other way of signing/verifying user identity(check Sun Access Manager for example).

I want to writte C# code for 503 Service Unavailable error to web application page immediate close connection any page loaded

Here is a ticket regarding our current client web application ( Image data add, edit , delete in folder with form data in MSSQL Database) that using code c#, web form, ajax, VS2008, MSSQL Server2008 , it appears that there is an error where the HTTP
503 error occurs.
. Below is a conversation with Host Server support assistant.Can you take a look at it?
Ben (support) - Hi
Customer - We're having an issue with our windows host
Ben (support) - What's the issue?
Customer - 503 errors
Ben (support) - I am not getting any 503 errors on your site, is there a specific url to duplicate the error?
Customer - no, it comes and goes without any change Customer - could you have access to any logs ?
Ben (support) - Error logs are only available on Linux shared hosting, however with this error it may be related to you reaching your concurrent connections
Ben (support) - You can review more about this at the link \
Customer - probably yes - how can we troubleshoot ?
Ben (support) - http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/3206/how-many-visitors-can-view-my-site-at-once
Ben (support) - This is something you need to review your code and databases to make sure they are closing the connections in a timely manner
Customer - we're low traffic, this is an image DB to show our product details to our customers
Customer - ahhhh, so we could have straying sessions ?
Ben (support) - Correct Customer - any way you could check if it's the case ?
Customer - because it was working previously
Ben (support) - We already know that's the case as you stated the 503 errors don't happen all the time if it were issue on the server the the 503 would stay.
Customer - so our 2/3 max concurrent users can max out the 200 sessions
Customer - correct ?
Customer - is there a timeout ?
Ben (support) - no that's not a time out concurrent connections are a little different then sessions and or connections. Lets say for an example you have 5 images on your site and 5 7 users come to your site this is not 7 concurrent connections but 35. They
do close after awhile hence why the 503 error comes and goes. You can have these connections close sooner using code but this is something you have to research using your favorite search engine
Customer - thank you so much
Customer - I'm surprised that this just started a few weeks ago when we haven't changed anything for months
Customer - any changes from your side ? lowering of the value maybe ?
Customer - I'm trying to understand what I can report as a significant change
Ben (support) - We haven't touched that limit in years
Ben (support) - This could just be more users to your site than normal or even more images
Customer - I was thinking that could be it indeed
Customer - so I need to research how to quickly close connections when not needed
Ben (support) - Correctly
Ben (support) - correct
Customer - thanks !!
Ben (support) - Your welcome
Analysis :
The link provided tells us : All Plesk accounts are limited to 200 simultaneous visitors.
From what Ben (support) says and a little extra research, if those aren't visitors but connections then it's quite easy to max out, especially if the connections aren't closed when finished using. I'd suggest forwarding this to Kasem to see what he thinks.
Cheers,
Customer

Hi Md,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
>>
I want to writte C# code for 503 Service Unavailable error to web application page immediate close connection any page loaded.
Since
Visual Studio General Forum which discuss VS IDE issue, I am afraid that you post the issue in an incorrect forum.
To help you find the correct forum, would you mind letting us know more information about this issue? Which kind of web app you develop using C# language? Is it an ASP.NET Web Application?
If yes, I suggest you could post the issue directly on
ASP.NET forum, it would better support your issue.
Thanks for your understanding.

SPSiteCollection.Add in WCF service for FBA web application throws "user not found"

Hi,
I use SharePoint 2010 SP2. Programmatically I can create a FBA-based web application and now I want to add a new site collection ("/") subsequently. Everything is done in a WCF web service with its own application pool and web
application. In extracts my code looks like this:
const uint cLID = 1031;
const string cSiteWebTemplate = "BLANKINTERNETCONTAINER#0";
const string cAdminName = "i:0#.f|user|username";
const string cDisplayName = "username";
const string cSiteAdminEmail = "[email protected]";
SPWebApplication webApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("https://www.someurl.com"));
using (SPSite newSite = webApplication.Sites.Add("/", "some title", "some site collection comment", cLID, cSiteWebTemplate, cAdminName, cDisplayName, cSiteAdminEmail, null, null, null, false))
I also have a Windows forms based application where the exactly same code (except the changes required for WCF services) runs smooth, no exceptions or errors.
Now every time the webApplication.Sites.Add-method is called inside the WCF service by any client I get the following exception (it is in German, English
translation in square brackets):
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Der Benutzer kann nicht gefunden werden. [user cannot be found]
bei [at] Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteCollection.Add(SPContentDatabase database, SPSiteSubscription siteSubscription, String siteUrl, String title, String description, UInt32 nLCID, String webTemplate, String ownerLogin, String ownerName,
String ownerEmail, String secondaryContactLogin, String secondaryContactName, String secondaryContactEmail, String quotaTemplate, String sscRootWebUrl, Boolean useHostHeaderAsSiteName)
bei Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteCollection.Add(SPSiteSubscription siteSubscription, String siteUrl, String title, String description, UInt32 nLCID, String webTemplate, String ownerLogin, String ownerName, String ownerEmail, String secondaryContactLogin,
String secondaryContactName, String secondaryContactEmail, Boolean useHostHeaderAsSiteName)
bei Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteCollection.Add(String siteUrl, String title, String description, UInt32 nLCID, String webTemplate, String ownerLogin, String ownerName, String ownerEmail, String secondaryContactLogin, String secondaryContactName,
String secondaryContactEmail, Boolean useHostHeaderAsSiteName)
The process user is the same both for my Windows forms based application and my WCF service and I expect the code runs the same in both cases. I did not find any matching forum entry and I have no idea why a WCF service does not execute
the same way as a Windows forms application. Additionally, before applying SP2, I used an ASMX service with a similar code snippet and it also worked fine.
Can anyone please tell me why calling
webApplication.Sites.Add-method by a WCF service does not work? Is there anything I can do to make it work properly?

The creation of a new web application using SharePoint API works in WCF service. I also lined out that...
SPWebApplication webApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri(https://www.someurl.com));
... works in WCF service. In return I really get the very web application that I requested. Also exactly the same code snippet is called by exactly the same user context both in WCF Service and Windows forms application. Only for Windows forms
application it does not throw the exception but in WCF Service it does. I had some WCF Service specialist colleague looking through the code and web.config and he stated it looks ok (unfortunately he does not have any experience with SharePoint).
If you state "It's not, then your WCF config is wrong" what do you think I need to add or change in web.config in order to make it work? BTW: I did not modify app.config in my Windows forms application, so I thought I do not need to modify my web.config.

OWSM and Webservices -Define policies once for multiple web services

I thought that through using OWSM we had the possibility to use the same Policy Lines for multiple web services.
Mostly when web services are used/integrated within an application, the same rules need to be defined and I thought this requirement could be met when using OWSM.
But you need to define the policy requirements on each web service that's passing through a gateway or agent, why isn't it supported to define policy lines one level higher to be able to use the same requirements for multiple web services?

Nathalie,
For this purpose OWSM allows you to use Template Policy Pipelines.
For individual services, you can than replace the pipeline with the Template.
But I have to agree with you here: the templating functions are rough on the edges, e.g. limited editing capabilities.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Sjoerd

Authentication Across Multiple Web Applications (Revisited)

          Its been an ongoing battle, but I've made some insight into this situation. The problem stands as it seems impossible to authenticate against one web application deployed as a WAR archive and have that authentication carry across to another web application with the same security constraints. I've been told by BEA that, quote:
          "It seems to me that we are violating section 11.6 of the servlet 2.2 spec which talks about webapps"
          I've also been told that this is fixed in WLS 6.0, reference issue #38732.
          For those of us building production environments using 5.1 instead of 6.0 XML based configuration, this does NOT solve our problem.
          I've dug further into the bowels of 5.1 and found that if you manually set the realm name in the login-config of the security constraint in the web.xml file in each WAR deployment as such:
               <login-config>
                    <auth-method> [whichever method] </auth-method>
                    <realm-name>WebLogic Server</realm-name>
               </login-config>
          Authentication will carry across web applications. However, I've noted that the session management then becomes unpredictable. For example:
          I log into the application TESTAPP1 which contains a protected servlet that outputs the session ID and attempts to get the authenticated principal name from the "_wl_authuser_" session variable. Upon first load of the page (after the login dialog box), the session is null [can be fixed with .getSession(true) call instead] and the "_wl_authuser_" object does not exist. Reload the page and the session appears as well as the "_wl_authuser_" object. Strange.
          I then move to TESTAPP2, which does not prompt me for authentication but also is missing the session in the same manner. Upon browser reload, the session is created with a different ID and the "_wl_authuser_" object is now available with the appropriate principal name.
          Upon moving back to TESTAPP1, I am not prompted for authentication however, I am assigned yet another session ID after browser reload, different from the first.
          So it seems that although authentication is carried across web applications, the session IDs as you move from TESTAPP1 to TESTAPP2 change, and then change again but not back to the original when going back to TESTAPP1.
          This is a particular problem since we are using Vignette's V5 as our main client and tracking sessions through V5 - this would quickly become unmanageable if a single page view access three or four different application components with three or four different session ids.
          I'm wondering if we can expect the same behavior from WLS 6.0?
          Ideally, I'd like to see WebLogic use a single session ID to track users across multiple web applications but still have session independence between applications. So if I store something in session in TESTAPP1, its not available in TESTAPP2. Does this outline the behaviour in WLS 6.0? Can anyone verify this?
          Some food for thought. Thanks!

Problem in synching multiple web applications

I have a domain called myDomain. In this domain I have 2 enterprise applications
say
ent1App with ent1App-project and ent2App with its ent2App-project. Each enterpsrise
application has one web application
(webApp1 and webApp2 respectively). I have the same set of webflow files (.wf
files) in both
ent1App-project/application-sync/web-apps/webApp1 and ent2App-project/application-sync/web-apps/webApp2
directories.
Now suppose I synchronize my webflows (using EBCC) for say ent1App. The synchronization
is accomplished without any problems
and this is confirmed when the entries get updated in the Master Data Repository
where all the webflows for ent1App get
stored. This is as viewd using the datasyncservlet.
If I now do a synchronization on the other enterprise application called ent2App,
the synchronization takes place
successfully but when viewed in the datasyncservlet, it shows up the entries for
the webflows of ent2App. i.e. the entries
for all the weblows of ent1App which were shown in the Master Data repository
are not shown.
We looked up the Cloudscape database to ensure that the entries for both the enterprise
applications are present and it does
contain the records for both the applications. This however does not show up in
the datasync servlet. Due to this we get a
namespace not found error whenever we try to access the application whose entries
are missing in the master data repository.
I have separate names for my datasync folder for each of the applications in my
config.xml as shown below
ent1App
<Application Deployed="true" Name="ent1App"
Path=".\config\myDomain\applications\ent1App" StagedTargets="iden_staging">
<WebAppComponent DeploymentOrder="1002" Name="datasync" Targets="iden_staging"
URI="datasync"/>
ent2App
<Application Deployed="true" Name="ent2App"
Path=".\config\myDomain\applications\ent2App" StagedTargets="iden_staging">
<WebAppComponent DeploymentOrder="1002" Name="datasyncDev"
Targets="iden_staging" URI="datasyncDev"/>
I am using WLS6.1 SP4 and WLP 4.0 SP3
Can someone please tell me what could be the problem?
Thanks

When you peform a data sync you are updating the data_sync_item table
with the EBCC xml files. For those files that are not present in the
EBCC project they will be deleted from the table.
You can not use multiple enterprise applications that contain Portals.
Try using using multiple domains that contain separate databases for
datasyncs.
Here is a snippet I recently sent out in a support case:
Unfortunately there is not a documented best practice for maintaining
multiple projects and enterprise applications. In my opinion if you
plan to create multiple enterprise applications they will need to
maintain separate application components and web applications. The
enterprise applications will need to use the same portal resources
(pools) and therefore same tables. The synchronization modes documented
at http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/deploygd/appdata.htm explain the
limitations in data sync -- either all files are deleted and updated or
only modified files are updated. Either mode will delete files from the
data_sync_item table that do not exist in the current project.
Therefore one project will need to be used per domain.

Configuring the authentication scheme for a web application

Hi all,
We have a requirement to configure the authentication scheme for a web application where some set of users should access the application using basic LDAP (userid/password) authentication and some using digital certificate authentication.
Since the deployment descriptor (web.xml) allows only one directive for auth-method in logic-config, we want to know if there is any other way to achieve this requirement. We are thinking of a custom login module approach. But we are not able to figure out how to configure the auth-method at runtime from the login servlet.
Please let us know if there is any other approach to achieve this.
I will be thankful if any body shares any specific solution to this issue.

This forum is probably not the correct one to ask in. It's more related to the web container than Java Programming.

Multiple Web Applications WLS 7.0

Hi,
I am trying to configure multiple web applications on the same WL 7.0 server and
am having trouble doing the following.
I would like to be able to use the following URLS:
Application #1:
http://myserver/st/aems - where st/aems maps to the path X:\SimpleTrade2\AEMS\ui\source\htdocs
Application #2:
http://myserver/st/acms - where st/aems maps to the path X:\SimpleTrade2\ACMS\ui\source\htdocs
Root - Default web application - This would be left empty with the idea that our
company could sell our web applications and we would deploy them on someone elses
WLS and we would not conflict in any way.
The problem with the above is that when I look at the DTD and try and configure
config.xml in the following way:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="AEMS"
Path="X:\SimpleTrade2\AEMS\ui\source\htdocs" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent DeploymentOrder="2000" Name="aems"
Targets="simpletradeserver" URI="st/aems"/>
WLS blows up on startup because it tries to POST-Pend the URI to the path... If
I change it to:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="AEMS"
Path="X:\SimpleTrade2\AEMS\ui\source" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent DeploymentOrder="2000" Name="aems"
Targets="simpletradeserver" URI="htdocs"/>
This will work but then my URL is not what I want it becomes http://myserver/htdocs
Is there anyway around this or a way to get what I want?
Another piece of information, I am developing in Exploded directory format when
we deploy it will be as an ear.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!!!
-Jerry Rodgers

Thanks for the info Christian.
I thought I would pass along a bit more inforation for others who might be trying
to do something similar. In case they run across this message.
I did determine that if you are using a .WAR file the name attribute of the xml
node WebAppComponent will allow you to create a different context path than the
URI. I did not test to see if it allowed you to use a name like "st/aems" I am
sure "st.aems" would work or any name that may be different than the URI. The
weird thinhg is that when using the EXPLODED DIRECTORY format the URI is the name
of the folder under the path and the name property appears to be ignored no matter
what you change it to you can only get to your web app using the URI.
Hope this helps someone who comes after me and is looking for the same thing,
maybe they won't spend 6 hours on it like I did ;>

Hi,
this is not possible.
The URI field contains the directory name of the WebApplication, which
normally
is the same name as the directory where you put the webapplication in.

SharePoint 2013 Central Admin says port 80 for three web applications, but IIS says they have different ports

Hello,
I have three web applications on a SharePoint 2013 servers. In Central Administrators on the Application Management page where it lists all of the web applications, it shows Port 80 being used 2 3 sites. When I go to IIS, 2 of the 3 are using
different ports, 81 and 82. So, only one site IIS says is using port 80. Why is this? The host file has no entries in it. Where these web applications extended?

Hi Paul,
From the URL of the web application in Central Administration in the image, you have configured the Alternate Access Mapping for the web applications.
And the URL configured is by default using port 80 if you don’t
assign other ports for the web application, so the port is changed to 80 in Central Administration.
To be able to access the web application, you need to add binging for the web application in IIS(please make sure that you have added the host name in DNS).
For example, SharePoint – 32298, you need to create the binding for the web application in IIS as the image below:
Best regards.
Thanks

Pass data from one web application to another web application

Hi,
Please provide suggestion for following scenario:
Scenario: Basically the aim is to transfer large amount of data from one application to another and display JSP of second application.
User enteres data on a JSP of one web application. When he submits that data, another web application opens in new window and data from first application should be passed to this second web application. Another web application will display that data on its own JSP. User can perform whatever he wants on second application screen.
Possible solutions:
1) response.sendRedirect(): This makes GET request. But, there is large data to send. So, GET is not effective.
2) forward(request, response): Can't use as I have to pass data to different application that is in another context.
3) URLConnection: Here, I can make POST request and set attributes in HTTP request and make connection to another application. I can pass data using output stream. But, I can't display second application JSP to user even if I use input stream to read response. Because control will be ultimately in first application only.
Is there any othe method to achieve this or any of the above options extendable?
Please give your inputs.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to migrate list data from one web application to another.
We can migrate list data programmatically, there are some articles for your reference.

Good exception handling policy for Java web application

I'm looking for a good exception handling policy for Java web application. First I found this Java exception handling best practices - How To Do In Java which says that you should never catch the Trowable class nor use e.printStackTrace();
Then I found this Oracle page The Message-Driven Bean Class - The Java EE 6 Tutorial, which does just that. So now I'm confused. Is there a good page online for an exception handling policy for Java EE Web applications? I have a hard time finding one. I've read that you should not catch the Exception class. I've been catching it previously to make sure that some unknown exception doesn't slip through early in the loop and stops all other customers from executing later on in the loop. We have a loop which runs once a minute implemented using the Quartz framework. Is it OK if you just change the implementation to catch the RuntimeException class instead of the Exception class? We're using Java 7 and the Jetty Servlet Container.

I'm looking for a good exception handling policy for Java web application.
If you have not done so I suggest you start by reviewing the several trails in The Java Tutorials.
Those trails cover both HOW to use exceptions and WHEN to use them.
This trail discusses the 'controversy' you mention regarding 'Unchecked Exceptions'
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/runtime.html
Unchecked Exceptions — The Controversy
Because the Java programming language does not require methods to catch or to specify unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their subclasses), programmers may be tempted to write code that throws only unchecked exceptions or to make all their exception subclasses inherit from RuntimeException. Both of these shortcuts allow programmers to write code without bothering with compiler errors and without bothering to specify or to catch any exceptions. Although this may seem convenient to the programmer, it sidesteps the intent of the catch or specify requirement and can cause problems for others using your classes.
Why did the designers decide to force a method to specify all uncaught checked exceptions that can be thrown within its scope? Any Exception that can be thrown by a method is part of the method's public programming interface. Those who call a method must know about the exceptions that a method can throw so that they can decide what to do about them. These exceptions are as much a part of that method's programming interface as its parameters and return value.
The next question might be: "If it's so good to document a method's API, including the exceptions it can throw, why not specify runtime exceptions too?" Runtime exceptions represent problems that are the result of a programming problem, and as such, the API client code cannot reasonably be expected to recover from them or to handle them in any way. Such problems include arithmetic exceptions, such as dividing by zero; pointer exceptions, such as trying to access an object through a null reference; and indexing exceptions, such as attempting to access an array element through an index that is too large or too small.
Generally don't catch an exception unless you plan to HANDLE the exception. Logging, by itself is NOT handliing.
First I found this Java exception handling best practices - How To Do In Java which says that you should never catch the Trowable class nor use e.printStackTrace();
That article, like many, has some good advice and some poor or even bad advice. You get what you pay for!
I've read that you should not catch the Exception class.
Ok - but all that does is indicate that a problem of some sort happened somewhere. Not very useful info. Java goes to a lot of trouble to provide specific exceptions for specific problems.
I've been catching it previously to make sure that some unknown exception doesn't slip through early in the loop and stops all other customers from executing later on in the loop.
If the exception is 'unknown' then maybe it NEEDS to 'stop all other customers from executing later on in the loop'.
That is EXACTLY why you don't want to do that. You need to identify which exceptions should NOT stop processing and which ones should.
Some 'unknown' exceptions can NOT be recovered and indicate a serious problem, perhaps with the JVM itself. You can NOT just blindly keep executing and ignore them without risking data corruption and/or the integrity of the entire system Java is running on.
Is it OK if you just change the implementation to catch the RuntimeException class instead of the Exception class? We're using Java 7 and the Jetty Servlet Container.
No - not if you want a well-behaved system.
Don't catch exceptions unless you HANDLE/resolve them. There are times when it makes sense to log the exception (which does NOT handle it) and then raise it again so that it gets handled properly later. Yes - I know that is contrary to the advice given in that article but, IMHO, that article is wrong about that point.
If you have ever had to maintain/fix/support someone else's Java code you should already understand how difficult it can be to find WHERE a problem occurs and WHAT the exact problem is when exceptions are not handled properly.
