J2EE Deployment 1.1 API and Split Directory Structure

How do you think the Deployment API from J2EE 1.4 will affect the WL split directory
structure?

I believe they're orthogonal and wasn't expecting any split-directory
changes. Did you have any particular concerns?

Using wlappc with split directory structure

I am trying to generate an EAR file of my application using wlappc in WLS8.1sp3.
I am using the split directory structure, I have a src directory containing my
source and xml descriptors, and a output directory containing the compiled classes.
I am using the split structure to deploy to the app server in development, that
is working fine. I use wlcompile to compile the code, that works ok too.
I assume that the purpose of wlappc would be to take a split directory structure
and create an EAR file from it, but there is only one source directory that you
can pass to the ant task. If I pass the src directory, it complains that it cannot
find the classes. If I use the output directory, it complains that it cannot
find the META-INF directory.
Am I missing a step? Do I have to use wlpackage to put everything in one directory,
then wlappc? Do I have to copy the class files or xml files manually first?

will do hundreds of checks against your EJBs to make sure they comply
with the spec. It will compile your JSP files into servlets etc. You
just need to pass wlappc the output directory. It will automatically
find the src directory.
When you're ready to deploy to a production or staging server, you can
use wlpackage to put everything into one directory or an archived EAR file.

Class reload for split directory structure

I have tried to use the split directory structure in WL 8.1. I have a enterprise
application with 2 EJB modules and 2 WEB modules. I have tried to change one session
bean by just adding a logging statement and then use wlcompile to compile it.
Do I necessary call wldeploy to redeploy it? Or, will WebLogic automatically reload
the class file? Calling redeploy is so slow to me (about 3 minutes). Thus I want
to check if WL can just reload the class automatically.

Or, will WebLogic automatically reload the class file? No, by default it load the EJB in the application classloader, and
everytning in the classloader must change for it to be visible.
Calling redeploy is so slow to me (about 3 minutes). Thus I want
to check if WL can just reload the class automatically.There is a bit of an advanced way in WLS 8.1 to get this to work.
In your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, you need to set
<enable-bean-class-redeploy>True</enable-bean-class-redeploy>
This tells WLS to load the bean impl class in a sub classloader
then in weblogic.Deployer you have to specify the bean class that changed.
weblogic.Deployer -name myapp -redeploy myEJB/com/foo/MyEJB.class
That works as long as you only make changes to the bean class itself.

How get SharePoint Library Folders and Files directory structure in to my custom web site.

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, I would like to pass site name and document library name as a parameter and get a folders and files from the document library and form the directory structure by using Treeview control in my web site.
How should i get? Using Web service / object model?
Web service would return the dataset as a result so from that how could i form the directory structure using Treeview control.
I will select specified files and folders then i ll update sharepoint document library columns for corresponding selected files.
Can anyone help over this, that would be great appreciate.
Thanks in Advance.

Export Pics AND retain directory structure

I'd like to use Bridge to manage the photos I put onto my iPod, here's the general workflow:
All pictures are stored in directories by event (date) in the /pictures/ folder, for example:
/pictures/2008-07-01 Hike in Woods
/pictures/2008-07-02 Bike in Woods
/pictures/2008-07-05 Meeting with Tiger Woods
Here's what I'd like to do:
I rate all my pictures in Bridge using Color Labels (Green=Good, Yellow=Just OK, Red=Bad.
I'd like to use Bridge to select all "Good" pictures taken this year (easy to do using Search), but the rub is that I'd like to export these pictures but retain the directory structure. For example, I have a directory where I store all my pictures for my iPods and I'd like to retain the folder structure so that I can easily browse just my Good pictures on my iPod:
/iPodPictures/
/iPodPictures/2008-07-01 Hike in Woods
/iPodPictures/2008-07-02 Bike in Woods
/iPodPictures/2008-07-05 Meeting with Tiger Woods
This way, I can have iTunes monitor the /iPodPictires folder when I sync and copy over any pictures I move there, but only copy over the Good pictures and keep the rest off my iPod.
If I just do a Search, all the files show up in 1 window, and when I export, they are all put into 1 directory, which isn't easy to browse.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this using Bridge? I also own LightRoom, so if there are ways I could use that instead of Bridge, that would work as well.
Thanks!

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way

Split Directory Packaging and Deployment Question

Hello Rob Woollen and All,
I have a question about packaging and deployment with the "split directory structure"
in WebLogic Server 8.1.
Specifically, how does one go about deciding which classes to put in myEnterpriseApp/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes,
versus myEnterpriseApp/myEjbModule, versus myEnterpriseApp/APP-INF/classes?
I think the answer to the first part is easy enough: if there are classes depended
on by, say, the servlets in a web app, but not depended on anywhere else in the
enterprise app, then those classes should go in WEB-INF/classes.
It's the other part of the question that gives me trouble. I use local interfaces
on my session beans. Let's say I have a domain object class returned from a session
bean method and depended on by the web app. If I put that domain object class
under myEnterpriseApp/myEjbModule, then the web app can see it by virtue of the
classloader arrangement.
But the wlcompile Ant target supposedly compiles stuff to build/APP-INF/classes.
What stuff? How does it decide? I haven't experimented and empirically observed
yet, but I couldn't find the answer in the documentation and tutorials. Is it
looking for java source files under src/myEnterpriseApp but not under myWebApp
or myEjbModule? In general, does BEA have any recommendations in this area?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have 8.1 installed yet, so I can'tempirically
observe the example's behavior. But I downloaded the example andinspected the
code. It answers some, but not all, of my questions.Where to start.
In 8.1 we have made optimizations to J2EE packaging. Mostly this is about
not having to use manifest classpath's to do sharing of of common classes.
MF Cp's are a pain to configure. You put your classes in one location in
the ear and then EVERY module has to have a MF CP entry pointing to that
location, and then you actually have N number of classes loaded per module.
The mechanism to share classes across all modules is APP-INF/lib and
APP-INF/classes. The benefit is that APP-INF is shared across all modules.
So to your question below you could just put it in the EJB module, BUT if
you have mutliple EJBs that you split into seperate modules your back tot
the same issue. So APP-INF is just the simplist solution over-all.
Split-dir is a specified way to lay out disk your src files
Split-dir
From code inspection, it looks like the JSP and EJB (therefore the web appmodule
and EJB module) both depend on the AppUtils class, which is not inAPP-INF, but
rather in a directory under the enterprise app directory that does notrepresent
a web app module or EJB module. In the build file's compile target, is itthe
wlcompile task invocation that causes compilation of AppUtils.java? Or isit
the ant task invocation (with "build.appStartup" as the value of thetarget attribute)
that causes compilation of AppUtils.java due to the dependency ofApplicationStartup
on AppUtils? And what subdirectory of the build directory doesAppUtils.class
end up in?
Why not just put AppUtils.java in the EJB module? Both dependent moduleswould
still be able to see it by virtue of the classloader arrangement. Doesputting
it in outside of all dependent modules represent a convention that BEArecommends?
>
Finally, why not put applicationresource.properties in the same place asits user
AppUtils.java?
Thanks,
Randy

What stuff? How does it decide?wlcompile has a module factory. If a directory is claimed by a module
factory then it is compiled by that specific module compiler. The rules
for
module definition follow the same J2EE formatting rules.
So:
/myejb/
would be identified as a ebj module by:
*/myejb/meta-inf/ejb-jar.xml
*/myejb/myejb.ejb (EJBGen file)
then src files (*.java) will be compiled to
$BUILD_DIR/myejb/
/myweb/
would be identifid as a web module by:
*/myweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
Also for webapps
/myweb/WEB-INF/src/*.java
will be compiled ot
$BUILD_DIR/myweb/WEB-INF/classes
We choose WEB-INF/src following the struts precedence.
So a plain old module that has noting but .java files in it will go to
$BUILD_DIR/APP-INF/classes
If you have a jar of classes that you need to share across the entire
ear,
you would check it into your src tree at:
$SRC_DIR/APP-INF/lib/mycommon.jar
You can check out an example at:
$BEA_HOME/weblogic81/samples/server/examples/src/examples/splitdir/helloWorl

Directory structure question...

I've been w/ three different companies doing Java development now, and each time I've come in once the project is already in progress and the directory structure is set up. What I see is a similarity:
com.<company name>.<project>.<sub-units>
examples:com.delta.kiosk.server
com.delphi.shipping.guiIs this a common way of laying out directories and if so, what is the benefit (other than standardization)?

I always figures that it was primarily a namespace issue.
org.apache.ecs.Attributes
org.xml.sax.Attributes
are examples of class names that would have resulted in a collision without the prefixes. A full class name has the package name before it so
String
java.lang.String
are the same thing, String is just shorthand for the latter. But if there are two of the same class then the prefix will help the compiler know where the class is supposed to come from. com.<company name>.<project>.<class> is a good way to ensure that you will not encounter a collision.

Split Directory and Workshop

Does ANYONE know of a nice, easy-going tutorial linking
the concepts of split-directory development, and development in Workshop/eclipse.
e.g. developing medrec with workshop.
(medrec has a split development structure, but it doesn't seem to easily map onto workshop...)
Thanks.

Jeffrey,
Workshop only supports module-level mapping to projects. Basically,
every module project (such as war, ejb, or utility jar src) needs to be
a separate project. The trick is with the ear itself (encompassing the
ear's APP-INF and META-INF directories). It also needs to be a separate
project. The issue is that Workshop does not allow project directories
to nest and if you have source layout that mimics deployed ear
structure, you will have to create the ear project in a location other
than the ear root in your source. You then have to "map-in" your ear's
APP-INF and META-INF directories from your source area into your ear
project. You can do that via New -> Other... -> General -> Folder ->
Advanced -> Link to folder in the file system.
Hope this helps.

J2ee Admin User locked on SDM Deployment - BI 7.0 and EP 7.0

Hi,
We had a recent issue on BI iview publishing from the BEX WAD 7.0 in our Production Portal server.
The BEX WAD had the error " Java communication error"
" An Error occured during communication with the BI Components of the J2ee engine"
We traced down to identify that the current stack NW 7.0 SP14 BI Components had issues and had to patch to the next level
However, during deployment of the patch using SDM, the components (all) failed posting the following error. The SDM deployment got struck and the J2ee Engine user j2ee_admin was locked.
Only a restart of the j2ee engine is allowing us to get the Visual Admin connected. But the SDM deployment again is failing and admin user gets locked. Is there any tested solution to solve this.
Kindly help asap.

Hi Anup,
The restart unlocks the j2ee engine admin user and i am able to login to Visual admin and SDM and not otherwise (SDM is hanged and doesnot allow another session and hence only restart helps me to get into SDM again)
Admin Pwds reset etc from config tool secure store and all possible solutions have been tried before restart.
However, after restart, when we try to deploy again, the deploy fails saying the same msg

An EFFECTIVE development directory structure for J2EE platform?

Hi, here we r talking about deployment environment more than development
environment. Have u ever think about designing an EFFECTIVE development
directory structure for J2EE platform( e.g. weblogic )? u r not using the
deployment directories for coding, r u? :)
I used to construct a dir structure for dev and want to improve it.
d:/wholesystem/*.prj // Project files
...../module1/src/com/.... // Module source files
...../module1/doc/... // Module doc files
...../module1/classes/... // Module class files
...../module2/...
...../web/*.jsp // web page files
...../web/images/... // web page images
...../web/WEB-INF/... //...
Do u have any good ideas? Thanks!

Create a web-inf folder at the same level of src and
jsp folder inside src
i mean
/build.xml
/src/
/src/java/<package>/...../*.java
/src/demo/<package/...../*.java
/src/test/<package>/....../*.java
/src/jsp
/web-infSo, would you put in /src/jsp only the *.jsp?
And what in /WEB-INF ? What woud you put there? Would you do something like:
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/src/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
/WEB-INF/classes/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
In this manner sources and classes are in the same tree, it does not seem very clean to me, expecially if you consider that probably I must have a "test" directory to unit test some j2ee stuff (as for the j2se stuff in "src"): how would you do that?
Is this directory structure anyway what you meant or not?

Compiler API and Tomcat

Hi!
I am using the new compiler api to compile dynamically generated classes.
To get the compiler tool i call:
JavaCompiler compilerTool = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler(); when I run this from eclipse with the integrated tomcat everyhing works fine but if I deploy the application on the external tomcat i get a null pointer exception because getSystemJavaCompiler(); always returns null.
Somebody got an idea why?

sigh, NEVER put ANYTHING in the jre/lib/ext directory.
It's a bad thing that it's even there, as it causes systems to become mutually incompatible and to behave unpredictably when different versions of classes are needed/present.
The compiler API (and others) that depend on the local filesystem are disallowed by application servers for security reasons.
You've just given access to every cracker in the world to your system by allowing them to compile and run code on your machine with root privileges. Your boss will thank you.

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

Cross-tenant email and split domains - how to set up?

I've successfully deployed exchange 2010 sp1 in /hosted mode with multi-tenancy and the install is working great. We are running into a problem configuring the send connectors
for inter domain email and split domains. We have several customers wanting to only put a couple of email accounts on the exchange server and have the rest of their email accounts resolve to a pop server at an external location. Currently I have a internal
send connector set to relay email between the domains on the server so they can send emails to one another. Directions for this were found at: http://www.zerohoursleep.com/2010/10/step-by-step-starting-with-exchange-2010-sp1-multi-tenant-sending-and-receiving-emails/
I created the connector: new-SendConnector -Name 'TestOrg' -Usage 'Internal' -AddressSpaces 'SMTP:domain1.com;1','SMTP:domain2.com;1' -IsScopedConnector $false -DNSRoutingEnabled $false -SmartHosts '[127.0.0.1]' -SmartHostAuthMechanism 'None' -UseExternalDNSServersEnabled
$false -SourceTransportServers 'Exchange'
I added all my internal domains to the connector listed above and email is able to flow from one domain to another.
My problem is we have a number of customers who need split-domains set up where users who arent on the exchange server are relayed to an external server. Example to route unknown users on a domain to google my send connector looks as is:
New-SendConnector -Name "Internal Relay - domain1.com" -Custom -AddressSpaces "SMTP:domain1.com;5" -SmartHosts aspmx.l.google.com -SourceTransportServers "server"
This results in an internal loop error when sending from one internal domain to another. Sending from an external domain everything is fine. If I remove the "internal" connector listed above the split-domain send connector works perfectly fine delivering locally
and to the external server.
How can I make it so both send connectors work?

Hello,
did you solve the problem and how?
Thanks,
Victor
