JSF and logging

I've been trying to get log4j to work on my jsf app for a few hours and have finally decided that I'm lost.
My assumption is that I've got the (very simple) code correct and that it's the container configuration that needs work.
I've repeatedly read "Logging Support And Configuration Steps" from the RI release notes. It's damn confusing.
I'm using the reference implementation and deploying on Tomcat 5.5. My hosting plan (at Kattare.com) does not give me my own install of Tomcat; it is shared. Is this significant?
All I want to do is enable logging on a per application basis: Each app I deploy will have a /log directory containing (surprise!) logs for that specific app. Is this possible?
Thanks!

  • Jsf-api and jsf-ri logging

    The source code is available for the jsf-api and the jsf-ri libraries. Reading through some of it, I noticed that commons-logging was being used such as log.warn and log.debug.
    How can we "turn it on"? It looks as though log.warn is already written to the SunAppServer8 log file within JSC. I changed all of the app server log levels to FINE via the server's property sheet, but it had no effect. Thanks.

  • JSF and Character Sets (UTF-8)

    Hi all,
    This question might have been asked before, but I'm going to ask it anyway because I'm completely puzzled by how this works in JSF.
    Let's begin with the basics, I have an application running on an OC4J servlet container, and am using JSF 1.1 (MyFaces). The problems I am having with this setup, is that it seems that the character encodings I want the server/client to use are not coming across correctly. I'm trying to enforce the application to be UTF-8, but after the response is rendered to my client, I've magically been reverted to ISO-8859-1, which is the main character set for the netherlands. However, I'm building the application to support proper internationalization; which means I NEED to use UTF-8.
    I've executed the following steps to reach this goal:
    - All JSP files contain page directives, noting the character set:
    <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>I've checked the generated source that comes from the JSP's, it looks as expected.
    - I've created a servlet filter to set the character set directly on the request and response objects:
        public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
            // Set the characterencoding for the request and response streams.
            req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");       
            // Complete (continue) the processing chain.
            chain.doFilter(req, res); 
        }I've debugged the code, and this works fine, except for where JSF comes in. If I use the above situation, without going through JSF, my pages come back UTF-8. When I go through JSF, my pages come back as ISO-8859-1. I'm baffled as to what is causing this. On several forums, writing a filter was proposed as the solution, however this doesn't do it for me.
    It looks like somewhere internally in JSF the character set is changed to ISO. I've been through the sources, and I've found several pieces of code that support that theory. I've seen portions of code where the character set for the response is set to that of the request. Which in my case coming from a dutch system, will be ISO.
    How can this be prevented? Can anyone give some good insight on the inner workings of JSF with regards to character sets in specific? Could this be a servlet container problem?
    Many thanks in advance for your assistance,
    Jarno

    Jarno,
    I've been investigating JSF and character encodings a bit this weekend. And I have to say it's more than a little confusing. But I may have a little insight as to what's going on here.
    I have a post here:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725929&tstart=45
    where I have a number of open questions regarding JSF 1.2's intended handling of character encodings. Please feel free to comment, as you're clearly struggling with some of the same questions I have.
    In MyFaces JSF 1.1 and JSF-RI 1.2 the handling appears to be dependent on the raw Content-Type header. Looking at the MyFaces implementation here -
    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/legacy/tags/JSF_1_1_started/src/myfaces/org/apache/myfaces/application/jsp/JspViewHandlerImpl.java
    (which I'm not sure is the correct code, but it's the best I've found) it looks like the raw header Content-Type header is being parsed in handleCharacterEncoding. The resulting value (if not null) is used to set the request character encoding.
    The JSF-RI 1.2 code is similar - calculateCharacterEncoding(FacesContext) in ViewHandler appears to parse the raw header, as opposed to using the CharacterEncoding getter on ServletRequest. This is understandable, as this code should be able to handle PortletRequests as well as ServletRequests. And PortletRequests don't have set/getCharacterEncoding methods.
    My first thought is that calling setCharacterEncoding on the request in the filter may not update the raw Content-Type header. (I haven't checked if this is the case) If it doesn't, then the raw header may be getting reparsed and the request encoding getting reset in the ViewHandler. I'd suggest that you check the state of the Content-Type header before and after your call to req.setCharacterEncoding('UTF-8"). If the header charset value is unset or unchanged after this call, you may want to update it manually in your Filter.
    If that doesn't work, I'd suggest writing a simple ViewHandler which prints out the request's character encoding and the value of the Content-Type header to your logs before and after the calls to the underlying ViewHandler for each major method (i.e. renderView, etc.)
    Not sure if that's helpful, but it's my best advice based on the understanding I've reached to date. And I definitely agree - documentation on this point appears to be lacking. Good luck
    Regards,
    Peter

    Going to seam might not be the answer to your problems. For one seam is not easy to get running on anything but a JBoss server (it is possible, but not easy). Secondly Seam is aimed at bringing JSF and EJBs closer together, among other things. Since you are running on Tomcat, I don't think you are using EJBs and therefore the use of Seam degrades greatly.
    The root of the problem is easy enough to spot:
    /loginTest.jsp(62,2) '#{paintBean.paint}'So what is this paintBean doing? If you have access to the code, you could check out the method that gives the error:
    com.netfixup.java.PaintBean.paintto try and figure out what is null. SOMETHING is apparently not initialized properly, but unless the server logs can give you a hint what that something is, it is hard to help you further.

  • HT2589 when I try and log in my i-tunes account or my app store account on my i-phone it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used on the i-tunes store" it gives me 2 optins "cancel" or "review" I press review, enter my bank details but they decline..why

    Hi can anybody help or advise me? I've recently bought the i-phone 4s, I've set up my apple I.D and password but everytime I try and log in it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used on the i-tunes store" I click "review" follow the instructions and agree to the terms and condition's, enter my bank details but it declines every time? I've tried both my accounts and its declined both, this stops me from logging in so I can't download anything for free or buy anything, my sister had the option of skipping the bank details part when she created her apple I.D and just enters her's when buying something, why do I not have that option?? And why is it declining my bank details...please HELP!!!!!

    The details I'm entering are correct, I choose visa as my card type, enter my card number, enter my expiry date and my last 3 digts on the reverse of the card, enter my address and zip code plus my home telephone number, click continue and it says "the payment method you have selected has been declined, please enter another payment method". I've lost count how many times I've tried, I've typed my details in slowly making sure I put them in properlly and it still declines it, I've even tried makeing a new apple I.D and when I get to the bank details part it declines it again so I am forced to press cancel and all details are not saved so its just like I'm hitting a brick wall, its ******* me off!!! I can't even download any of the free app's because to do so you must log in but when I do it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used in the i-tunes store" review my details and can't get past the bank details part. So doesn't log me in, I'm honestly out of ideas

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • Adobe Flash can be installed, but must be install EVERY time I log out and log back in. Why doesn't it stay? How can I fix this? (I have Firefox 6.0.2 and Flash 10.3)

    I have searched through the FAQs and find stuff on "crashing". I have not had any trouble with flash crashing, but I can't keep it installed.
    If I install flash, then it stays as long as I am logged in, even if I close firefox. Once I log out and log back in, I lose Flash and have to re-install it.

    I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
    It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
    install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
    and for Explorer, it was:
    install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
    Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
    It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

  • Preview and logging window in FCE 4.0 HD

    Hi Everyone,
    Just a quick question:
    I'm learning FCE from the Diana Weynand book at the moment.
    My problem is I don't see the Preview and Logging windows when I am capturing from my Canon XH A1s.
    I'm using FCE 4.0 HD.
    SL 10.6.8
    Canon XH A1s
    2008 24" iMac.
    Thanks in advance.
    Michael.

    When capturing HDV with FCE you will only have a simplified capture window and clips will be broken at the shot changes after capture.
    This is normal.
    Capturing DV will give you the Capture window with more features.

    I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.
