Does JSF 1.1_01 works on Sun App Server 7/Portal 6.2 ?

Hi,
i'm get an error (NullPointerException) while submitting form on this configuration. Same example using JSF 1.1 works fine. I know 1.1_01 requires App Server 8 but there is no windows version of Portal Server working with App Server 8...

For future references:
this happens to me too and I found that the cause is that the AM server you are going to configure, is already registered into the directory server.
Try running this command (with the obvious parameters substituted)
ldapsearch -B -T -D 'cn=directory manager' -w YOUR_CREDENTIALS -b ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMPlatformService,ou=services,YOUR_BASEDN -s base objectclass=* | grep YOUR_SERVERNAMEIf you found that the server you are configuring is listed here try going to AMserver console (if you have another AMserver configured) and browse to Configuration->System Properties->Platforms. If the server is here, remove it, if not, just hit Save (very important).
If this is your first AM and is a first installation you can just get rid of the Directory Server suffix and recreate it with the Top Entry alone.

"Message Driven Bean" doesn't work with Sun App Server

Hello all,
i have a little bit problems, running a simple "Message Driven Bean" under the Sun App Server. The deployment of it works fine, but after starting the SUN App Server i get the following error message:
An error occurred during the message-driven beancontainer initialization at runtime. The most common cause for this is that the physical resource(e.g. Queue) from which the message-driven bean is consuming either does not exist or has been configured incorrectly. Another common error is that the message-driven bean implementation class does not correctly implement the required javax.ejb.MessageBean or MessageListener interfaces.
Has anybody a workaround for this problem?
The queue seems to be correctly installed. A simple client programm from the Sun Tutorial (Consumer & Producer) works fine without any Errors or Exceptions.
I am a little bit confused, because the queue seems to work with the client programms but not with a MDB running on the SUN App Server.
Thanks for you help!
Greetings
Manuel

Hello Mr Manuel!
could you plz help me with the steps for creating a message driven bean using netbeans ver 5.0(with Sun Java� System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 )
I just know how to work with Session beans & Entity Bean, and am try to learn to work on Message Driven Beans too. there are no proper tutorials where i can find steps for creating these..
I need the steps from the scratch.,like creating QueueConnection Factory & Destination etc..
It will be gr8 if you can help me with this at the earliest .
Thank you

Problem : App works with Sun App server 8.0 but fails with 8.1

Hi All
     I am experiencing some strange problem with executing my JSF application with Sun App Server.
     I have an EAR deployed on Sun Application Server 8.0 and 8.1.
     Strangely it works quite fine with 8.0 but fails with 8.1.
     In my JSP page ..I have a dummy component whose getter method is used as a "FormLoad" event of the page.
     <h:form id="imageForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <h:messages showDetail="true" />
     <table width="980" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A9B8C2">
          <tr>
<td>
               <h:inputHidden value="#{Screen1.initializeService}"/>
          <h:selectOneListbox styleClass="style2" id="cmbMiddleArea" immediate="true" value="#{Screen1.selectedMiddleArea}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{Screen1.middleAreaList}" />
     </h:selectOneListbox>
     In my backing bean i have ..
     public String getInitializeService() {
          ..... Retrieve all the data from DB to initialize all the components on the JSP page
          .......setMiddleAreaList......
          .......setSelectedMiddleArea.....
          ........set the values of the individal component...
     I am retrieving all the data from DB in this getter method and intializing the components on the JSP page.
     I have also checked the code generated for JSP by both the servers.I am posting the code here for reference although
     i did not find any significant difference between the two...

     Now the actual problem is "getInitializeService" method never gets called when i deploy and run the application on Sun App Server8.1
     However with Sun App Server 8.0 it woeks perfectly fine.
     Can anybody help me in resolving these issues ?

Exceptions trying to run JSF on Sun App Server

Hi!
I have downloaded the Sun App Server and am trying to run the JSF Sample on it. The first page comes up fine, and when I enter data, it processes but does not come back with the response. I get the following errors:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.faces.application.StateManagerImpl$TreeNode
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No FacesContext is available to process this request.
Not sure if this is the right forum..
Thanks

Make sure you started the default server. Try
http://localhost:8080. This will allow you to see if the appserver is running. The first page is a jsp an will run regardless of if the server is running. To start the defaul server look at you windows menu under Sun Microsystems.

Sun app server 8.1 vs 8.2 for jsf 1.1

Currently we have download sun studio creator 2 which comes with sun app server 8.1 as its default server. We want to make our default server in studio creator 2 as app server 8.2, since our production environment is running on 8.2.
Any help will be appreciated.

I experienced this error on an application (not jsf), but it was something silly in the end. There may be a bug with JSF in 8.1 but I would just check the obvious before you start delving into the depths of the code.
Are you calling the app with http://localhost/AppA and the posting to http://svr03/AppA ?
Set the web.xml file to point to an HTTP file (leave everything else as is) what happens?

What does the Sun App Server Use as a web container?

Does the Sun App Server use tomcat? Or is it some derivative of Tomcat?
thanks for the info.

Thanks.
Just to clarify for any others who are interested, heres the deal:
1) Package the static HTML files using the 'deploytool' (See Packaging Web Modules in Chapter 3 of The J2EE(TM) 1.4 Tutorial). This creates a .war file with the required deployment descriptors(?); anyway it creates a bunch of .xml files that have the right data in them.
2) Take the .war file and drop it in the 'quick deploy' icon (copies the .war file to the 'autodeploy' directory for the App Server instance).
Anyhow thats the drill.
Good luck.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

Can JSC support Sun App Server 9?

Does anyone know if JSC can support sun app server 9?
Last I heard was that 8.2 is the max version.
Along the same line, is there any word of another update to JSC
that will work with app server 9 and jdk 6???

Hi!
Actually You can deploy your application to Sun App Server 9.0, but probably not all features will work. But now You can download NetBeans 5.5 and Visual Web Pack for it (it's a next step of Creator's evolution) and this IDE supports GlassFish (opensourced Sun App Server 9.0).
Thanks,

Sun App Server 8.1 and 8.2 could not start

Hi friends, thank for various suggestions. pls i'm having problem with Sun App Server 8.1 and 8.2. I installed Portal 7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and also Sun Portal 6 on Suse Linux 9. The problem is that App server keep giving Login exception after using them for a while. The details is given below:
after typing ./asadmin start-domain --user admin domain1. Instead of it to give me the password prompt, it threw the following exception:
INFO: SEC5046: Audit: Authentication refused for [admin]
Login Failed javax.security. auth.login.LoginException: Failed file for login admin
CL1156 could not start the domain domain1.
I always login to the O/S as root.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks very much kedar.mhaswade for your suggestions.
I do not have a regular access to the Internet, I
would have gotten back earlier than this, so i'm
sorry. Anyway, i checked the content of
~/.asadminprefs and the password is not the same with
the one i'm using. I found the default password
supplied by Sun but I don't think this could be the
problem. I'm actually using the App server that is
bundled with Sun Portal 6 and 7 and so i supplied my
own password during installation and i've logged in
several times after installation. It just failed in
one of those logins and had stopped working since. I
always encountered the same problem either when using
Sun Portal 7 or 6 on Red Hat ES 3 and Suse 9
respectively.
I'm posting the content of admin-keyfile as you
requested:
admin;{SSHA}Qf/m4KEBDPojsP1mkjywE5XZA6SPh7i8WQmV/A==;a
sadmin
# Domain User and Password - Do Not Delete Entry
Above
So i will so much appreciate your help and i wouldn't
mind if you could send me your phone number. Thanks.Hi tolulike,
Even if you supplied your own password, we have this developer friendly
feature that has side effects that are at times hard to diagnose. Can you
please
- rename the .asadminprefs file and make sure that there is no .asadminprefs file in your home directory?
- attempt to start the domain.
You should be prompted for the password.
The idea is that when you've got that file and that entry AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD in your home directory, asadmin will read it
from there and you land in this (unfortunate) situation.
Obviously doing this might have some side effects with other domains. This
is because for all domains, asadmin reads this file as a last resort. So,
it might so happen that this file is actually required for functioning of your
other domains.
But now you know when this file is used, so there is no mystery (hopefully).
Let me know if this works.
Thank you.

Different behavior using JSC and Sun App server 8.2 - why?

I have developed a JSF application using Java Studio Creator 2.
JSC2 uses Sun App Server 8.2 as the development application server.
I also have Sun App Server 8.2 on a server that is used for deployment.
When I run an application within the IDE, I get a set of behavior that I expect to see, but not when deployewd to the server.
In particular, in one case, a grid created within a session bean is redrawn when running in the IDE but not when deployed.
In another case, I attempt to read the value of the grid text field.
In the IDE, I get a properly set 'submittedValue' property, but in the deployed environment, it is null.
Why am I seeing differences in behavior between the two environments?
How can I get the deployed version to work tge same as in the development enviroment.

I am sorry but I don't understand. Which path specifically do you mean?
dear mr/mises
you have to change your path with net beans with8.2
you will be solving your problems

Deploying a WAR file to Sun App Server 8.1 PE

So I thought that if I downloaded Sun App Server PE 8.1 and put it on my soon-to-be production machine, it should be pretty easy right?
Nope. So I have JSC update 6 (which includes Sun Application Server 8.0) (God how I wish there was a catchy name like Tomcat or something)
And I have a machine running a good copy, installed and everything, of Sun Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition (another catchy name) up on the production target.
I create a WAR file in JSC, scp it up.
Then try to deploy it - so I get bit by the no DB connection thing.
Ok, but when I copy each of my connection's attributes (the driver (which I did copy up to the lib directory) is MySQL's Connector/J)
I copy the username, password, URL and DriverClass attributes to the connection pool.
I still get a
"Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Class name is wrong or classpath is not set for : com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter"
when I try to Ping the ConnectionPool
I have javax.sql.DataSource as the resource type... (same as 8.0 uses)
what JAR file is DriverAdapter in? anyone know?
cheers,
Kris

Okay. mysql folks - this works......
here's what happened, on the production server, different from the dev machine....
mysql 4.1.9
sun application server platform edition PE 8.1
connector/j - latest
and on the dev machine: JSC Update 6 and the app works fine on the dev machine.
first, there is a JAR file in ~whatever/Create/SunAppServer/lib/ named
driveradaptor.jar
and it it comtains
com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter
which 8.1 ain't got
and should be copied up to
/installdir/SunAppServer/domains/domain1/lib/ext/driveradapter.jar
(domain1 is your app svr domain that runs your app.)
your Connector/J JAR needs to go here too. I used:
mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin.jar
downloaded from mysql.com.
and then there is the whole thing about Added Properties in the Connection Pool page inside the 8.1 Admin Console (which is nice work guys). Gawd, I added a bunch of properties and am, frankly, not sure which ones actually work (for the Ping, for the initial connection creation and the eventual successful connection all seem to use different combinations...)
and I found this in the domain's domain.xml once all the admin console page filling was done - but you'll need to add each one as a Property in the connection pool:
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter" fail-all-connections="false" [blah...]
<property name="Username" value="root"/>
<property name="Password" value="secret"/>
<property name="ValidationQuery" value="SELECT 1"/>
<property name="DriverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="LoginTimeout" value="0"/>
<property name="Url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename?autoReconnect=true"/>
<property name="User" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="secret"/>
<property name="PasswordCredential" value="secret"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
(and you see how User and Username and username are all the same thing? well, different parts of 8.1 seem to use different attributes...)
Just keep Adding Properties in the connection pool until you get them all....
Oh and, the two key class references for the pool are:
datasource class: com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter
resource type: javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource
Finally: in the /installdir/SunAppServer/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/YourAppName/WEB-INF/
your 'sun-web.xml' (don't delete it, like some have advocated, I think that wrong) needs to look like:
<?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 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">
<context-root>/yourcontext</context-root>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/Yourname</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>jdbc/Yourname</jndi-name>
<default-resource-principal>
<name>root</name>
<password>secret</password>
</default-resource-principal>
</resource-ref>
</sun-web-app>
and I think that's all of it. the only Bug I would I would say is that the sun-web.xml should have the right res-ref-name, but then I think the Creator Team knows this and will fix it sometime soon.
cheers,

Fedora core 6 sun app server won't start

Sun app server 8.2 bundled with creator 2u1 doesn't start. This install was running fine under fc5. Among other things I get the following with pe-start -reset which I think might be the crust of the problem:
"Unable to read system environment. No system environment will be used."
Any help appreciated.

Exported projects to nb5.5 with visual-web pack and after fixing datasources and libraries things are working again. Could not find a solution for Creator2 on Fedora Core 6. Thanks anyway.

Web Services with Sun App Server

We are load testing a simple web service running in SJSAS 8.0 Standard. With 1 or 2 users concurrent it seems OK, but once we move up to 5 concurrent users calling the WS, the domain in SJSAS crashes.
Does anyone have experience or information regarding the app server and load with web services? Are there some config options that we can tweak? Are there any numbers out there about how many simultaneous connections the server can handle?
A final note, things seem fine if we are just serving a simple web page from the server, its only when we try to call a WS that we run into these performance issues.
Thanks.

Are you connecting to any external resource using JNDI by any chance? If you're using Unix, check the number of file descriptors being opened on the Sun App server. "new dirContext(env)" creates OS file descriptors each time it's invoked (calling the web service for example).
use
$ps -ax
get the process number of sjas and try issuing a:
lsof -p <sjas_process_number> |wc -l
and keep invoking the web service. If this number keeps increasing then you've an "fd" leak (perhaps not closing the dirContext). Linux for example has a default max file limit of 1024 under "root" user and when depleted, sjas will hang.
Could this be the problem?
Cheers

Is soap provider agent only available for Sun app server 9.1?

See the blue print on securing web services with soap provider agent. Is this agent embedded within the J2EE agent for sun app server 9.1? Is the same "soap provider agent" available for websphere 6.x or iis server?
Thanks

the agentadmin --install script does not seem to add all the required things to the server-classpath in the domain.xml
mine now looks like this:

AND, I've added a system property:

JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI on Sun App Server 8.1

I'm trying to deploy a JAX-WS 2.1.1 web service on Sun App Server 8.1 and I keep getting these "no such method" exceptions thrown:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory.newInstance(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/xml/soap/MessageFactory;
I've found the javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory class in j2ee.jar packaged with Sun App Server 8.1, which indeed does not have that method. And I've also found javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory in saaj-api.jar that came with the JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI distribution, which does have that method.
Is there some way to get JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI to play nice in Sun App Server 8.1?

If possible specify saaj-api.jar before j2ee.jar on your runtime classpath.
I am not familiar with Sun App Server 8.1. I had to patch domain classpath to resolve similar issues on weblogic. Also, there may be some configuration options to specify which jars get loaded first.

Does JSF 1.1_01 works on Sun App Server 7/Portal 6.2 ?
