Intergrated WebLogic web app failing - quick question

Hi All
Is there a way to configure in webLogic such that the AdminServer would auto-stop/restart when a web app lilke ADF hangs or run into exceptions ?
Thanks

Hi,
no, there is not. This also would be a quite annoying feature as you don't know if a restart of WLS fixes a problem. I would investigate into the cause of the problem. I can imagine you run into PemGen issues (for which however you should see a warning dialog before)

Office Web Apps server security question

Hello,
According to this technet article Microsoft appears to recommend against allowing both external and internal users access to your OWA server.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435(v=office.15).aspx#viewers
"Files that are intended to be viewed through a web browser by using Online Viewers must not require authentication. In other words, the files must be available publicly because Online Viewers can’t perform authentication when it is retrieving files.
We strongly recommend that the Office Web Apps Server farm that you use for Online Viewers is only able to access either the intranet or the Internet, but not both. This is because Office Web Apps Server doesn’t differentiate between requests for intranet
and Internet URLs. Somebody on the Internet could request an intranet URL, for example, causing a security leak if an internal document is viewed."
Just trying to make sense of this. I am building a new Lync 2013 environment and I definitely want my internal users to be able to leverage the OWA server. So does that mean I should not publish that server to the internet? And if I do
not, does that mean my users will not be able to share a powerpoint presentation at all to external users? If this is all true and I'm understanding this correctly, does this mean that most implementations choose one or the other? Or does Lync not
use these "Online Viewers" so I can just disable them and users will still be able to share powerpoint presentations with external users?
Thanks for any help you can provide for this confusion.

No, you should publish to both internal and Internet on the same server, it's just how it's done with Lync. You can't really have two with Lync for this purpose anyway. Users will upload PowerPoint presentations to it when it's time to share,
no editing is possible, and the risk is generally minimal. You can shorten the cache time to help if you're concerned.
Regardless, from the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219442(v=office.15).aspx setting OpenFromUrlEnabled "Turns on or off the ability to use Online Viewers to view Officefiles from a URL or UNC path.". This is set to false and turned off by default.

Event ID: 1280 Server 2012 RDS - web app fail on second session host

Hello there
Topography
SBS 2011 (domain controller)
Two VM’s:
VM1 – All RDS rolls: RD Gateway , Connection broker, Licensing and RD access installed and acting as a session host with an active collection for RD web apps. A CA trusted certificate is installed.
VM2 – Session host with a second collection for RD web apps
Problem
I have a single app installed on both session hosts (the apps require their own servers). Both appear on the RDWeb site available for use. I can run the app hosted on VM1 no problem, but when I try to open the second app hosted on VM2 I get
two issues:
An error is returned
“Your computer can’t connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server address and the certificate subject name do not match. Contact your network administrator for assistance".
When viewing the certificate, it actually shows the CA cert installed on the
SBS server for RWW, not the cert on VM1. This has me puzzled
Secondly on VM 2, I get
Event ID: 1280 Warning Microsoft Windows TerminalServcies-session broker client
Remote Desktop Services failed to join the Connection Broker on server sever-vm1.local.
Error: Current async message was dropped by async dispatcher, because there is a new message which will override the current one.
When I run the app internally it seems to load but then disappears.
Some further config info if it is relevant:
I have port 4043 (443 used) as the only port directed to the gateway
Am I missing something simple? DNS? Port forwarding issue on the router? Its my first deployment of this nature with RDS 2012
Regards
MIS5000

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly please check the RDP version you are using. I suggest you to update to RDP 8.1 for better feature and functionality. Now other thing verify that you have the RD Gateway certificate name matches the external FQDN of the RD Gateway Server. Also please
check that certificate is added under local computer\personal store and must be signed by trusted root authority.
Please check below article for more detail.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2008/12/18/ts-gateway-certificates-part-iii-connection-time-issues-related-to-ts-gateway-certificates.aspx
In regards to resolve other issue (Event ID 1280), identify and fix any connectivity problems between the RD Session Host server and the RD Connection Broker by doing the following:
• Check network connectivity to the RD Connection Broker.
• Start the Remote Desktop Connection Broker service.
• Add the RD Session Host server to the Session Broker Computers group.
More information.

Office Web App Load balancing Question

I am going to install office web app in load balanced farm behing f5. There are few questions i want to ask:
Do i first put servers in load balancer and start installing office web app or after installation of office web app in one server put that in load balancer and add another one or put both in load balancer and start installing.
While i tried without putting servers in load balancer with offload ssl parameter , when i tried to join second server in the farm it gave me error destination unreachable. Is it because with offload ssl parameter it is looking for load balancer or something
else? I checked port 809 from the servers and also verified the user was local admin in both machines.
Any insight will be helpful.

Photo gallery intergration with web app

I want to create a web app where If I create a new item, that automaticly will create a new photo gallery. Also this photo gallery will be automaticly linked in a field with the photo gallery code. Is this possible? Yes, How can I achieve this?

Hey, I take it this was built in Muse considering the sherr gianmous amount of inline CSS and Scripts? Really hard to find the issues, lol.
You have two errors, one is that prettyPhoto is not a function and that is a result of this:
Timestamp: 5/05/13 8:57:06 PM
Error: Error: Load timeout for modules: main
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#timeout
Source File: http://pevronestate.vivovecompany.com/scripts/require-jquery.js
Line: 159
It is a common error luckily and I believe its only here:
<script data-main="scripts/main.js" src="scripts/require-jquery.js"></script>
When you reference BC scripts etc you need to tell BC to read from the root so when you go into things like a detail view of a web app which is a folder level down from the root where to find the code.
Any script, image, css call etc needs to have a / in front of it.
So ...
scripts/require-jquery.js
Would be...
/scripts/require-jquery.js
And so on.
Hope that helps.

Web app failing to deploy in exploded directory format in weblogic6.1

Hi,
My web applications are failing to deploy in exploded format ,i.e when copied
to the the applications directory of the domain mydomain/applications. The logs
doesn't show any error, the server is just failing to read the applications other
than the default ones in myserver/applications directory
The deployment works if I create a .war file of the same directory structure and
deploy it via console
waiting for an early reply

make sure your config.xml is configured correctly to the exploded format
(i.e. URI doesn't say webapp.war).
war:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="webapp"
Path=".\config\mydomain\applications">
<WebAppComponent Name="webapp" Targets="myserver" URI="webapp"/>
</Application>
exploded:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="webapp"
Path=".\config\mydomain\applications">
<WebAppComponent Name="webapp" Targets="myserver" URI="webapp.war"/>
</Application>

Issue while accessing deployed web-app on Weblogic 10.3.5

We have deployed a web app on Weblogic server 10.3.5 as a WAR file. The deployment looks fine and application is in "Active" state. However when we try to access the application it fails to detect the Struts tags and gives following error -
weblogic.servlet.jsp.CompilationException: Failed to compile JSP /view/login/login.jsp
login.jsp:4:1: Type mismatch: cannot convert from Tag to JspTag
*<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm*
*l1-transitional.dtd">*
*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
*<title><s:property value="customerLoginContentVO.pageTitle" /> Dashboard</title>*
------^
I looks like it doesn't get the Struts libraries. We have included the Struts libraries in WEB-INF/lib of the web app and set prefer-web-inf-classes to true in weblogic.xml. Why is it that it is able to find the jars to deploy but not to access the application.
One alternate method suggested is to have package the war into a ear and provide the mapping for struts libraries as prefer-application-packages in weblogic-application.xml. But we think creating a ear just for library load in not a right approach & we are definitely missing something.
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jiten S

WLS 10.3.5 (and some versions before that too, one of the 10.3.x releases changed this) should also support prefer-application-packages. It doesn't appear as though the documentation has been updated to reflect that.
Needs updating:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/programming/classloading.html#wp1098468
I'll file a documentation bug.

Hie,
          We are facing the same problem; i.e. we are getting the same error message when we are trying to run our struts application on Weblogic 7.0.5 using JDK 1.3.1. This problem occured particularly when we tried to do a load testing using approx 20 concurrent users (a lesser load was supported though). Can you please let us know how this problem was sorted out on your end?
          thanks,

Mapping of Web App context root and the physical directory of the web app

I'm running Weblogic 7.0 on Windows2000.The physical directory of my web application
is D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp and under these directory I have
my JSPS, static HTML and WEB-INF. I define the context path of this web app in
the weblogic.xml ;-
<weblogic-web-app>
<context-root>/testapp</context-root>
</weblogic-web-app>
As a result of deploying this web app in the server (or it may be created manually
also), the following entry gets inserted in the server's config.xml ,-
<Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
</Application>
Now, whenever I make a request of the form "http://localhost:7001/testapp/..",
it's properly executing my web app. My question is, how does the container knows
that for any request for the web app with context path as 'testapp', it has to
server files from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp. In the above
process, nowhere such mapping is specified. I expected something like Tomcat's
server.xml, where in docbase we clearly specify this mapping between the context
path and the physical directory. Please help.

Let me give some more details and hopefully this will make things clearer.
Say you deploy /foo/bar/myweb.war and in myweb.war you configure a
context-root of /rob
During deployment, the server creates an ApplicationMBean with a path of
/foo/bar/. It then creates a WebAppComponent with a uri of myweb.war.
Next, deployment calls back on the web container and tells it to deploy
the WebAppComponent. The web container reads the myweb.war, parses
descriptors etc. The web container then updates its data structures to
register that myweb.war has a context path of /rob. (It has to figure
out all the other servlet mappings as well.)
When a request for /rob/foo comes in, the web container consults its
data structures to determine which webapp and servlet receives the
request. This is not a linear search of all webapps and servlets.
There's much better ways to do pattern matching.
Hope this clears things up. Let me know if you still have questions.

Thanks for the answer. Still one thing is not clear. Whatever context path I declare
for my web app as the value of <context-root> element in the weblogic.xml (in
my example it's "/testapp"), it is no where mapped with the "URI" attribute (or
any other attribute, sub-element whatsoever in the <Application> element).
Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
</Application>
So when a request of the form http://myweblogic.com:7001/testapp/... arrives at
the server, how does the server knows that it has to serve this request with files
from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp ? It should not be like the
web container iterates thru all the web application entries in config.xml and
tries to match with one context-root declaration. I repeat, I expected some mapping
similar to Tomcat's server.xml, where in the <docbase> element u clearly specify
the mapping between the context path and the physical directory

It's a little clearer in the case where you had a full-fledged EAR.
Then you'r application path would map to the "root" of the EAR, and the
uris would point to the various modules (eg webapps.)

How do I change the context-root of a web app with a deployment plan?

I've been trying to figure this out for several hours.
I'm deploying a .ear file which sets the context root for the single web application it deploys in its application.xml deployment descriptor:
<application>
<display-name>MyApp</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>MyAppViewControler.war</web-uri>
<context-root>MyApp</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
I want to change the context-root from /MyApp to something else when deploying the ear file. It seemed to me that using a deployment plan was the way to do this. But when I use this plan:
<deployment-plan>
<application-name>MyApp<application-name>
<variable-definition>
<variable>
<name>NEWCONTEXTROOT</name>
<value>foobar</value>
</variable>
</variable-definition>
<module-override>
<module-name>MyApp</module-name>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<module-descriptor external="false">
<root-element>application</root-element>
<uri>META-INF/application.xml</uri>
<variable-assignment>
<name>NEWCONTEXTROOT</name>
<xpath>/application/module/web/context-root</xpath>
</variable-assignment>
</module-descriptor>
</module-override>
</deployment-plan>
I get an error:
weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorException: VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND
/bea/user_projects/domains/devod1/nullplan.xml:0: problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element 'web-uri@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee' instead of 'context-root@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee' here in element web@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee:<nullplan.xml>
I looked at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/pdf/deployment.pdf which says:
"You cannot use a deployment plan to change the context-root in an application.xml
file. However, if an application is deployed as a library, you can either change the
context-root through an weblogic-application.xml file or use the deployment plan
to change the context-root in an weblogic-application.xml file."
I don't understand what this means. I'm not deploying my application as a library.
Does anyone know how to change the context-root for an application?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi James,
I am quite new to Welogic if i am wrong please correct me.I have re-deployed my application (.war) with this Plan.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<deployment-plan xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/deployment-plan" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/deployment-plan http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/deployment-plan/1.0/deployment-plan.xsd" global-variables="false">
<application-name>BrowserR08.003</application-name>
*<variable-definition>*
* <variable>*
* <name>CONTEXTROOT</name>*
* <value>BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet</value>*
* </variable>*
* </variable-definition>*
<module-override>
<module-name>BrowserWeb.war</module-name>
<module-type>war</module-type>
<module-descriptor external="true">
<root-element>weblogic-web-app</root-element>
<uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
<hash-code>1231953167814</hash-code>
*<variable-assignment>*
* <name>CONTEXTROOT</name>*
* <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/context-root</xpath>*
* <operation>add</operation>*
* </variable-assignment>*
</module-descriptor>
<module-descriptor external="false">
<root-element>web-app</root-element>
<uri>WEB-INF/web.xml</uri>
</module-descriptor>
<module-descriptor external="true">
<root-element>wldf-resource</root-element>
<uri>META-INF/weblogic-diagnostics.xml</uri>
</module-descriptor>
</module-override>
<config-root>/export/home1/tecapp/BrowserR08.003/plan</config-root>
</deployment-plan>
I do not know wether i will require the other module descriptor definition in this Plzn.xml. Now when I go to following link.
Deployments --> MyApp --> Testing
It gives me following url as a test page:
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet
as soon as i click on to the above link it redirects me to following.
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet/servlet/BrowserServlet
Same if i remove these context-root part my normal Testing menu shows me following link as my webapp access path
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb <-- My war file name is BrowserWeb.war so it is default name of my deployed application if i am not wrong
and as soon as i click on above link it redirects me to the following one.
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet
It means application server know that my full web access page is with '*servlet/BrowserServlet*' because its adding it in both the cases.
What I want is a constant URL whcih does not change?
Hope this helps :)

Web app security ... i don't get it

I do not get it how do one configure web.xml
I want every page to be protected against unlogged user and some pages only to some of them
From what I read it's only necessary to have only one root role that every user is part of and then any sub-role is recognized
My use case:
every page should be protected against unauthorized user
<security-constraint>
        <display-name>Restrictie de vizualizare pe orice pagina jsf</display-name>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>JSF Pages</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>fullaccess</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
        <user-data-constraint>
            <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
        </user-data-constraint>
    </security-constraint>and I want that managers only to have access to /managers so I guess that a new </security-constraint> must be issued to allow the users that have managers role to access the resource.
<security-constraint>
        <display-name>Restrictie de vizualizare pe orice pagina jsf</display-name>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>JSF Pages</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/faces/manager/*</url-pattern>
            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>managers</role-name> ????
        </auth-constraint>
        <user-data-constraint>
            <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
        </user-data-constraint>
    </security-constraint> What are the roles that must be declared in web.xml knowing that
<security-role-assignment>
         <role-name>fullaccess</role-name>
         <principal-name>public</principal-name>
     </security-role-assignment>
</weblogic-web-app> and in the realm public group has a member 'managers' (that in my opp must not be mapped)?
..on the moment there is only
<security-role>
        <description>acces pe toate paginile web</description>
        <role-name>fullaccess</role-name>
    </security-role>thanks, Florin POP

Lync 2013 Web App Sharing not working.

We are having a problem with Lync Web App 2013. Our external customers can open the meeting link and join the meeting without a problem. Once they are in the meeting an internal user begins the presentation by sharing his screen. The Lync
Web App just says "Loading..." for the external customer. The internal presenter sees this external customer continually change from "in collaboration session" to "not in collaboration session". The external customer
is never actually shown the screen share.
Other notes:
-->We tried this from an external wireless hotspot and it worked fine, thus, it seems something in this customer's company firewall that is blocking it.
-->We also tried sharing a powerpoint (we have a functional office web apps server), which produced the same results.
-->When we used the Lync 2010 Web App (before we upgraded to 2013), everything seemed to work fine, thus I am concluding that the 2013 Lync Web App (since it has more capabilities) is somehow trying to use more ports or something.
-->Internally, the Lync Web app works fine.
So, I assume something in the customer's company's firewall is blocking some access to Lync 2013 Web App. My question is: what needs to be enabled both on-premise and at the customer's side to access Lync 2013 Web App screen sharing and if the
company (for security reasons) doesn't want to open extra ports, is there some work around to force Lync Web App to use port 443 for screen sharing.
Thanks,
Adam

The ports 1024-65535 * are used for application sharing.
You can configure the port ranges for Lync clients.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx
You can’t use 443 as port 443 is used for HTTPs.

SharePoint 2013 - Office Web Apps - Internal and External Use

I have successfully installed SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps on Azure VMs inside an Azure Virtual Network (IaaS model). Everyting is working well. However, my testing has shown that external users and internal users can't use Office Web Apps at the
same time.
Office Web Apps, installed on its own vm, accomodates an external and internal URL quite well. However, SharePoint 2013 appears to only allow one setting for WOPI Zone, either internal or external but not both. I've set the WOPI zone to Internal-HTTPS (Set-SPWOPIZone
–Zone “internal-https”). OWA works just fine if accessed from inside the Azure Virtual Network. However, if I try to access from outside the Virtual Network, from the Internet, Office Web Apps fails. The exact oppisite is also true. I can set WOPI Zone to
External-HTTPS and accessing from the Internet works fine, but accessing inside the Virtual Network fails.
Am I missing something? I, obviously, want Office Webs Apps to function properly for both internal and external users simultaneously.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide here.

Hi Glenn,
To have both the use of Internet and Internal available to your end-users, you first need to configure AAM setting. Open Central Administration > Application Management > Configure alternate access mappings. Let's say there is an existing web application
named http://sharepoint and my end-users from local network are able to access it using the URL http://sharepoint (root site collection). Here you need to add the Internet URL by select the web application and click Edit Public URLs. Add the Internet domain
to the web application, e.g http://sharepoint.abc.com. You don't necessarily have to edit binding setting in IIS. Before continuing next steps, make sure you are able to access http://sharepoint.abc.com from the Internet while being able to access http://sharepoint
from local network (aka Internal).
On the machine where Office Web App (OWA) Server 2013 is installed, open PowerShell to add OWA module and use the following command to re-create a new OWA server farm if you've completed configuring it previously.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://owa" -ExternalUrl "http://owa.abc.com" -EditingEnabled.
In this case, I'm not using SSL certificate to encrypt data over the Internet. You can use Internet-public IP of the OWA server like -ExternalUrl "http://198.xxx.xxx.xx". Add CertifcateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate.
On your SharePoint machine, you need to re-bind all WFE machines to WAC farm using the cmdlet New-SPWOPIBinding. Next, you need to set the WOPI zone for both internal and external.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-http"
Note: I'm not all using certificate in my guidance. But the steps to have it configured is just to add more parameter.
I've recently successfully deployed OWA multi-server farm for both internal and internet uses for two big clients. In real-world scenario, ideally OWA should be published through firewall (Forefront UAG, TMG, F5...etc). Please let me know if you still have
issues after following my steps. My email: [email protected]

How can I pre-populate a web app input form with data from a webform in the CRM?

Scenario:
A customer fills a registration webform. The customers data is stored in BC CRM as usual. This step provides a lead to marketing unit and the team makes a follow up. Upon completion of internal processes. The workflow initiated by this customer filling the registration form is approved.
Th user is sent a 3rd-party notification with a url to enable the user complete the registration process by entering the information into a web app.
The Issue:
The client is requesting that he doesn't want the the customer to re-enter some of the information that has been captured in the registration form again since it will be laborious for the user to do this. He wants the system to store this customer data already in the CRM and pre-fill the web app form so that the user just submit the data, so that the item can be in the appropriate web app as web app item.
Question: Is this possible? Can this be achieved via js. How should I go about it.
Your assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

For each option you would need to only have a custom text field for that item. This is where the otpion for each gets populated with javasript.
Each option is your own html that is a select with options as web app items. A list layout of your web app items is just a select with text and value of that item.
Your tricky thing is to setup the matrix of rules to define what shows and when. You can do that with data source association between web apps if it is a 1-1 relationship but if it is 1 to many you need to form script matrix to define what happens on each change.
It depends on the details but thats the core of it.
