Deploy servlet without restarting a webserver

Hi,
I am using iplanet webserver 6.1. Now I am deploying my servlet by compiling it and put it into <server-root>/servlet/. However, I need to restart a web server everytime I recompile. Is there a better way to do this or the best practice to do this?
cheers,

It depends on the appserver used. At least you're looking for hot deployment. Those keywords should make you easy to find the answer by consulting the documentation of the appserver or by googling around using the keywords "appservername hot deployment" such as "tomcat hot deployment".

Hot deploying servlets without the admin tool

          Hey, all! I was wondering if there is a way to hot-deploy
          servlets without using the weblogic admin console.
          With ejbs, this is done through weblogic.deploy
          standalone. Thanks for your help!

WMarks,
We've done something similar for one or two low-profile apps.
You can use a tool such as wget ( Wget for Windows ) to download the installer to a known location on the user's workstation, and then run that installer as either a dynamic administrator or the system account in order to perform the installation.
As others have mentioned, there will always be applications you'll need to find workarounds for if the vendor didn't code their application to be launched as a non-administrative user.
Along with the least privilege solutions (mostly AD-based), you could investigate options such as VMware ThinApp or ZENworks Application Virtualization for apps that you absolutely have to have run as a non-admin, but remember there is always overhead introduced into the management and deployment process by re-packaging.

Is it possible to deploy an EAR to a Netweaver AS without restarting the AS

The application has been designed to use multiple Java Resource bundles that contain various messages and properties that are updated quite often. The Resource Bundles have been separated into separate SCAs so that they can be deployed separate from other parts of the application. Is it possible to deploy the EARs contained within these SCAs without restarting the Java AS?
We are working with NWDI 7.1 deploying to Java 1.5 running on zLinux

Hi,
That should be no problem at all. Any machine with or without NI software can use an FTP client to transfer files to and from an RT target such as CompactRIO.
You should be able to build the executable on the development machine, transfer it via USB drive to another machine and then use FTP software to transfer the file from there. You'll just need the IP address of the target and login information.
For more information on FTP transfer with or without MAX to RT targets, see the following KB article:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4DCF9D581C491E9F8625711B005FA539?OpenDocument
I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to reply with more questions on the subject.

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can
invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension
As per the documentation iisforward.dll is registered as a filter and .wlforward
has also been
included as a special file type. However this requires me to key-in ".wlforward"
after my servlet name.
What I want is something like this
http://iis/MyServlet
Please help me find a solution to this
Thanks,
Rishi

I am able to invoke the servlet without the wlforward extension now.
However, now I am required to add /weblogic before the servlet
name otherwise it does not execute the pathtrim property.
I have tried with the pathprepend thing also.
Can we get rid of the /weblogic part also. I just want to execute
my servlet as http://iis/myServlet.
Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated...
Thanks..

Thanks for the reply Kumar.
I did follow the instructions as given in the Weblogic documentation
The documentation said to add iisforward.dll as a filter service
and register .wlforward as a special
file type to be handled by iisproxy.dll. For this,
while configuring the IIS server in the Home Directory tab
I added an extension ".wlforward" and the executable as
iisproxy.dll. Is this the way it should have been done...
I also modified the iisproxy.ini file as per the documentation.
I have added the WLForwardPath property and set it to /weblogic.
My server works fine when I give the url as
http://iis/myServlet.wlforward
but it does not work for
http://iis/myServlet and this is the way i'd want it to work.
Please tell me if I am missing something on the configuration part
and if there is something special that needs to be done. I shall
be grateful to you.

Web Dynpro Application Deployment need server restart?

Hi Everyone,
When deploying Web Dynpro application on production environment, do we need to restart the sap portal system and server?
I have this issue that when ever we deployed new develop Web Dynpro application with new Abap Function module we need to restart our Enterprise portal production server. Is this really necessary. Is there other way to deploy Web Dynpro application with new Abap function module without restarting the server.
Please help,
Michael Mondelo

Hi michel,
for example , assume you imported a RFC bapi_flights from r/3 to webdynpro dc , and both rfc requests and webdynpro application is deployed to the development server and then moved to quality server.
now you have done some changes in the rfc bapi_flights i mean change in the structure .
case 1 : now with out reimporting the change to webdynpro application and you move the request to the quality r/3, your application dumps . because the structure change is not incorporated at your webdynpro DC.
case 2 : you have re imported the rfc incorporating the changes to the web dynpro applicaiton dc, now with out moving the structure changes request to the quality r/3 and you deploy the webdynpro Dc having the changes to your quality EP , still the applicaiton dumps because your appliction refers to the rfc with out structure change in quality r/3.
case 3 : you have moved the abap request having the strucutre change and also the webdynpro development component where the changes are also incorporated , now on moving both , your application might dump , because the meta data cache might have been not updated with the new structure change in the quality ep server. so you have invalidate the cache in the JCos you have used to import the rfc. or else on restarting the EP server , the new structure change will be updated in the server.
most of the cases Invalidation of cache works and in some cases you have restart the server fo the changes to update.

Write a servlet without doGet() and doPost() methods

Hi,
Can we write a servlet without doGet() and doPost() methods ?

public class MyCoolServlet extends HttpServlet
public void init(ServletConfig servletConfig) throws ServletException
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
// your code here
}Just an example on how to do it.
A servlet is loaded by server (before any request). It will run the init function. Then pick up an request, spawn a thread and put this servlet code into the thread, give it session, request and response objects, then call serivce.
Remember that init is called before, outside the thread, while service is inside the thread and the last to be called. Nice place to put your code.
If you need to have some sort of init function to be called first on every request PR USER, then make your own function, and call it first in service method.
Stuff that are put in init() function might only get runned once in the entire server lifetime. Until restart.

Reload a jar in weblogic server without restart

Hi All,
We are using weblogic version '10.0.1.0' and have 'reports.jar' file in server for reports.
If we change any existing class file under 'reports.jar' then we are using below steps in order to recognize a modified jar by weblogic
1) We need to recreate a jar using eclipse in local IDE and
2) Copy the 'reports.jar' into server
3) Need to restart server inorder to recognize the modified jar
Is there any alternative solution to reload a jar in weblogic server without restart?
Please do the needful.
Thanks & Regards,
Gangadhar

Hi,
If this is for weblogic running on development mode, then you can go for auto-deployment feature where weblogic will auto-deploy modified application from autodeploy directory.
For production mode, you can go for production-redeployment feature of weblogic where it uses application versioning. So for example you deployed webapp1 with version app1.0 and then for new release you will deploy webapp1 with version app2.0 adding a retirement policy to retire old application after said time and start using webapp1 with app2.0.
Refer to link for mode detail - http://middlewaresupport.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/production-redeployment-feature-in-weblogic/
rank it if found useful

Deploy WSP without IISRESET

Hi Team,
I have a WSP with multiple Visual Web Parts with the custom code of .NET. I want to deploy the same on Production Server with Zero DownTime, without RESET the IIS. Please help me out??
Regards Sourabh Soni

hi!
do you have the source code? in the source code when you open the package you can set the property "Reset Web Server" to false.
As the custom code gets deployed to the GAC, the webserver won´t recognize the new dll without a iis-reset. So at the end nethertheless you need to make an iis-reset.
I dont know what your webparts are doing, but when its possible to create a sandboxed solution you can add them without iis-reset to a site collection.
Plan a short downtime for deployment. Max. 5 minutes of being offline every company will survive.

How to make changes effect in log4j.xml without restarting weblogic server

Hi ,
I have successfully configured log4j in my weblogic server 8.1.
Everytime i made a change in log4j.xml i need to restart the server
is there any configuration or parameter to set without restarting server??
Thanks in advance,
CK

I don't think you need to restart the server, atleast I never needed to when making changes to jsp pages. You only need to restart when you make changes to java classes. Some might argue jsp is converted to servlet which is a java class.....
Try refreshing the page when you make any changes. This works for me, if it doesn't work try turning reloadable="true" in your context path in tomcat's server.xml

How can I load javaBeans in jsp without restart WL?

hi,
          Restart WL every time I modify my bean really drive me crazy!
          Following the manual, I set up my servletclasspath and put all the beans
          I use in my jsp under that directory, I find out something strange:
          if my beans' scope is page and if I modify the jsp page as well every
          time I modify the beans, I can autoload the fresh new beans without
          restarting;
          if my beans' scope is larger than page( such as session), then even I
          modify the jsp, instead of the fresh new beans I get the following
          exception:
          java.lang.ClassCastException: com.aa.mybean at

          who knows how to autoload the new session scope javabeans in a jsp page

          thanks in advance...


That makes sense. If the session contains an instance of an old class, and
          you cast it to the new class, then you should get a class cast exception.
          One way around this is to use interfaces that are (for development) in one
          of the outer class paths (system or weblogic, I can't remember which) ...
          the only time you mention the class name is to new it. Then you cast the
          contents of the session attributes to those interfaces. The interfaces can
          not change without restarting the server, but the implementations can.
