Weblogic 9.2 bug?

in my servlet spec 2.3 webapp I have deployed struts in the web-inf/lib and am trying to use the html-el taglib. I think the BeanInfo classes are being ignored. To reproduce, try using tags from the struts/html-el.tld, e.g., the text input tag, and provide some el in one of the attributes. The EL goes uninterpreted. If you look at the generated java code, you can see instead of calling set____Expr, the rtexpr setter is always used. I set a breakpoint in the beaninfo's getPropertyDescriptors, but it was never hit. I also tried Introspector.flushCaches, but that was also no help. The conclusion I've arrived at is that the BeanInfo classes in my struts-el.jar are not being used. I saw from the 9.2 release notes that there was a BeanInfo related bug fixed for netui, maybe this is somehow related.
Anyway, a workaround for me has been to use c:set and then rtexprvalues for the few struts tags whose beaninfos are ignored.
Here are some keywords for google: wl9.2 9.2 servlet 2.4 2.3 jstl el 1.1 1.2 jsp 2.0 wl9

I had a similar problem with WL 9.2 .....but for me it was a permissions issue......check if all the files under your bea home folder are owned by the same user account .....i.e, the user account with which the server is running ....check this on all....Also you can try some extra logging using debug flags ( debug deploy) and analyse whats going on .....and the next step would be to open an SR with oracle...

  • WebLogic 6.0 bug #042545

    The WebLogic 6.0 bug #042545 says:
    "Managed Servers in the same domain can hang if started simultaneously.
    Delay
    about 30 seconds before starting each Managed Server."
    (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60//////notes/issues.html)
    The WebLogic 6.1 documentation mentions this bug as being fixed.
    From our testing it looks like a similar problem exists for shuting down
    managed servers.
    Can anyone confirm this? If yes, was it also fixed in WebLogic 6.1?

              Change the following lines:

              FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(path);
              to
              InputStream fin = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/classes/testpath/aa.properties");
              Since the property file is archived into WAR, you cannot open it directly as a
              file.

  • Weblogic.Admin BATCHUPDATE bug?

    Hi Everyone,
    I think there is a bug in the Bea weblogic.Admin BATCHUPDATE command: when called
    with
    GET -type JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime
    it wont find any mbeans
    and with
    GET -type JTARuntime
    it will only fetch the values of the admin server.
    These commands do run by itself.
    Maybe there is a lookup issue when invoked with Batchupdated?!
    Has anybody seen this too
    or even better a solution to it?
    Regards,
    Edi
    P.S.: clean N.O.S.P.A.M. if you want to contact me by email.

    Hi Ryan,
    GET -type JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime
    while connecting to an admin server does
    show the runtime information of all managed servers
    in the domain (actually thats the fun part of the domain/admin/manges server thing
    - the admin server "should" do the tricky parts ;) )
    The same request issued with BATCHUPDATE
    wont find any mbeans - sounds buggy to me ;-)
    Regards,
    Edi

    you
    are using the server URL of a server the pool is deployed to and not
    just
    the admin server url. Remember runtime mbeans exist on the server(s)
    the
    resource has been deployed to.

  • Problems with properties files and war files in weblogic 5.1

              I work with WebLogic 5.1 and I'm trying to deploy a web application which gets
              a properties file. If I deploy it as an expanded directory hierarchy (with the
              properties files into WEB-INF/classes) I have no problems. While deploying it
              by a .war file I get this message: "en_GB java.util.MissingResourceException:
              Can't find resource for base name Agent, locale en " (the getBundle() method is

              5.1 bug?
              Thanks,
              David
              

    This issue comes up repeatably. It's a real bug.
              I believe this problem was fixed in a 5.1 service pack, but I'm trying to
              find out the exact disposition of the issue. Noone seems to be complaining
              about this under 6.x, so a fix seems to have been made, the only question is
              whether or not it got back-ported to a 5.1 service pack.

    i use the adobe creative suite (indesign) for all print

    they've outsourced the 'development' of future releases to india.
    buyer beware.

    Adrain,
    Its a very good thought and reorganisation might help most of them with their critical issues in 2004s.Its not that the critical issues are not taken care off in the present system but definetly the new names might bring in more attraction and meaning.
    I would vote for renaming.
    thanks.

    Announcement: Super 1.8 - an EJB/J2EE monitoring/admin tool with
    SuperEnvironment
    SuperLogging
    SuperPeekPoke
    SuperReport
    SuperStress
    has got a new member: SuperScheduler
    You can anomyously down load it free from:
    http://www.acelet.com.
    Super is a component based administration tool for EJB/J2ee.
    It provides built-in functionality as well as
    extensions, as SuperComponents. Users can install
    SuperComponents onto it, or uninstall them from it.
    Super has the following functions:
    * A J2EE/EJB monitor.
    * A gateway to EJB servers from different vendors.
    * A framework holding user defined SuperComponents.
    * A full-featured logging/tracing tool for centralized, chronological logging.
    * A PeekPoke tool to read/write attributes from EJBs.
    * A Stress test tool.
    * A global environment tool.
    * A report tool.
    * A Scheduler tool.
    It is written in pure Java.
    The current version support:
    * Universal servers.
    * Weblogic 5.1, 6.0
    * Weblogic 6.1 with EJB 2.
    What is new:

    Enhancement:
    1. SuperLogging: Scope can dynamically change both for upgrade to downgrade (for
    weblogic 6.1, need download an application).
    2. Add alias names for log threshold as new Java suggests.
    3. New component: SuperReport.
    Change:
    1. SuperLogging: Log database parameters are specified in a properties file, instead
    of EJB's deployment descriptor. It is more convenient and it avoids some potential
    problems. No change for development, easier for administration.
    Bug fix:
    1. Add Source Path Panel now accepts both directory and jar file.
    2. Bug in SuperEnvironment example (for version 1.60 only).
    Version 1.60 December 2001

    1. Poke: argument list is set at define time, not invoke time.
    2. Default log database change to server mode from web server mode, booting performance
    to 10-20 times.
    Bug fix:
    1. If the returned object is null, Peek did not handle it correctly.
    2. If the value was too big, TimeSeries chart did not handle it correctly. Now
    it can handle up to 1.0E300.
    3. Help message was difficult to access in installation program.
    4. Source code panel now both highlights and marks the line in question (before
    it was only highlight using JDK 1.2, not JDK 1.3).
    5. Delete an item on PeekPoke and add a new one generated an error.
    Version 1.50 August, 2001
    Enhancement:
    1. Source code level tracing supports EJB, JSP, java helper and other
    programs which are written in native languages (as long as you
    write correct log messages in your application).
    2. Redress supports JSP now.
    3. New installation with full help document: hope it will be easier.
    4. Support WebSphere 4.0

    2. SuperPeekPoke adds Kaleidoscope with TableView, TimeSeriesView and PieView.
    Changes:
    1. The structure of log database changed. You need delete old installation and
    install everything new.
    2. The format of time stamp of SuperLogging changed. It is not locale dependent:
    better for report utilities.
    3. Time stamp of SuperLogging added machine name: better for clustering environment.
    Bug fix:
    1. Under JDK 1.3, when you close Trace Panel, the timer may not be stopped and
    Style Panel may not show up.

    as foreign beans.
    3. Installation: Both installServerSideLibrary and installLogDatabase can be worked
    on the original file, do not need copy to a temporary directory anymore.
    4. PeekPoke: if there is no stub available, JNDI list would be empty for Weblogic5-6.
    Now it pick up all availble ones and give warning messages.
    5. Stress: Launch>Save>Cancel generated a null pointer exception.
    Changes:
    1. installLogDatabase has been changed from .zip file to .jar file.
    2. SuperLogging: If the log database is broken, the log methods will not try to
    access the log database. It is consistent with the document now.
    3. SuperLogging will not read system properties now. You can put log database
    parameters in SuperLoggingEJB's deployment descriptor.
    Version 1.10 Feb., 2001
    Enhancement:

    extensions, as SuperComponents. Users can install
    SuperComponents onto it, or uninstall them from it.
    Super has the following functions:
    * A J2EE/EJB monitor.
    * A gateway to EJB servers from different vendors.
    * A framework holding user defined SuperComponents.
    * A PeekPoke tool to read/write attributes from EJBs.
    * A full-featured logging/tracing tool for centralized, chronological logging.
    * A Stress test tool.
    * A global environment tool.
    * A report tool.
    It is written in pure Java.
    The current version support:
    * Universal servers.
    * Weblogic 5.1, 6.0
    * Weblogic 6.1 with EJB 2.
    What is new:
    Version 1.70 January 2002
    Enhancement:
    1. SuperLogging: Scope can dynamically change both for upgrade to downgrade (for
    weblogic 6.1, need download an application).
    2. Add alias names for log threshold as new Java suggests.
    3. New component: SuperReport.
    Change:
    1. SuperLogging: Log database parameters are specified in a properties file, instead
    of EJB's deployment descriptor. It is more convenient and it avoids some potential
    problems. No change for development, easier for administration.
    Bug fix:
    1. Add Source Path Panel now accepts both directory and jar file.
    2. Bug in SuperEnvironment example (for version 1.60 only).
    Version 1.60 December 2001
    Enhancement:

    4. Support EJB 2.0 for Weblogic 6.1.
    5. Support SuperPeekPoke, SuperEnvironment and SuperStress for Websphere 4.0 (SuperLogging
    was supported since version 1.5).
    Change:
    1. Poke: argument list is set at define time, not invoke time.
    2. Default log database change to server mode from web server mode, booting performance
    to 10-20 times.
    Bug fix:
    1. If the returned object is null, Peek did not handle it correctly.
    2. If the value was too big, TimeSeries chart did not handle it correctly. Now
    it can handle up to 1.0E300.
    3. Help message was difficult to access in installation program.
    4. Source code panel now both highlights and marks the line in question (before
    it was only highlight using JDK 1.2, not JDK 1.3).
    5. Delete an item on PeekPoke and add a new one generated an error.
    Version 1.50 August, 2001
    Enhancement:
    1. Source code level tracing supports EJB, JSP, java helper and other

    install everything new.
    2. The format of time stamp of SuperLogging changed. It is not locale dependent:
    better for report utilities.
    3. Time stamp of SuperLogging added machine name: better for clustering environment.
    Bug fix:
    1. Under JDK 1.3, when you close Trace Panel, the timer may not be stopped and
    Style Panel may not show up.
    Version 1.30 May, 2001

    on the original file, do not need copy to a temporary directory anymore.
    4. PeekPoke: if there is no stub available, JNDI list would be empty for Weblogic5-6.
    Now it pick up all availble ones and give warning messages.
    5. Stress: Launch>Save>Cancel generated a null pointer exception.
    Changes:
    1. installLogDatabase has been changed from .zip file to .jar file.
    2. SuperLogging: If the log database is broken, the log methods will not try to
    access the log database. It is consistent with the document now.
    3. SuperLogging will not read system properties now. You can put log database
    parameters in SuperLoggingEJB's deployment descriptor.
