Libraries from dependent projects

Hi there,
I have created an application in Jdeveloper 10g comprising of 2 projects.
Project 1 is a web app containing all the UI related content and a few java classes used for navigation related concerns.
Project 2 is a core java app comprising all the business logic and using Toplink JPA for database interactions.
Project 1 is the entry point project. We have created a project dependency in project 1 to include project2.
For deployment, In project 1 we create a deployment profile ear file. It generates the deployment artifacts but somehow the libraries being used in project 2 are not being included in the web-inf lib folder of project1. I have selected the Export checkbox in the Libraries tab of Project2 properties.
All the other artifacts from the dependent project 2 are correctly being included in the ear file
Let me know your thoughts. Should I have to add the libraries being used in project 2 to project 1 libraries also ?
Regards,

Can anyone provide some info on this based on your empirical experience or alternate ways

Deployment: Deploying external libraries from dependent projects

Hi,
i need some help for the following issue.
How do I deploy external libraries from dependent projects? I have one project for the model layer which references TopLink JPA library and an other project for view/controller based on JSF/ADF Faces. The view/controller project has the model project as dependency.
For the view/controller project i have created a WAR deployment profile. On deployment all classes and referenced libraries from view/controller project and all classes from model project were included. But not the referenced library for TopLink JPA.
My second approach was to create a JAR deployment profile for the model project. Again the referenced library for TopLink JPA was not included.
My third approach was to add a library file group to the JAR deployment profile. I tried to add the library to jar's root and to META-INF directory. But the application don't find the library (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError).
The only way I got this running was adding all referenced libraries from dependent projects to the view/controller project which couldn't be the proper solution.
So how do I get this running? What are the best practices?
I would be glad to get some input on these issue. Thank you.
PS:
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 and like to deploy on Tomcat 5.5.23.

I see your points.
Unless you have Java EE 5 there is no real standard way of including libraries in EAR files. Including the libs in the WAR files is the only standard supported way for file formats prior to Java EE 5. If you have to consider Tomcat as a possible platform, WAR files are your only option.
You reluctance to include the libs in the WEB-INF/libs structure is understandable but think of injected dependencies in the Entities you're not aware of. These might be needed in the view layer too.

Libraries of dependent project not deployed

Hi,
I have two projects, lets name it A and B. In Project A I defined some project libraries containing JAR's (Project Properties -> Libraries and Classpath -> Add Library).
Project B depends on Project A.
Now I created a deployment descriptor for a WAR in project B. Under the section "Library Dependencies" of the WAR profile I selected the option "Include Libraries from other projects" and I selected some libraries of project A for deployment. Under the section "WEB_INF/LIB -> Contributors" I selected these libraries as well, but under the section "WEB_INF/LIB -> Filters" the JAR's of these libraries don't appear! So when I create the WAR, these libraries are missing. The question is why??
I figured out, that when I set the option "Deployed by Default" in the libraries of Project A, the JAR's appear in the deployment descriptor of Project B under "WEB_INF/LIB -> Filters". However these libraries cannot be deselected anymore in the deployment descriptor of project B! So this doesn't help me, because I use project A as dependency in several other projects, and each projectes needs a different set of libraries of project A.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for hints

Since the forums are going up and down during USA business
hours, I was forced to contact Tech Support. It was frankly the
worse tech support experience of my life. The technician just
didn't get what I was trying to tell him. A senior tech finally
gave him a solution that worked. Here is that solution:
Uninstall Flash Player and Reinstall it. However, you just
can't use the Add/Remove Programs. You have to download a special
uninstaller from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
Before running the uninstall, I recommend you restart your
computer, then run the uninstaller after you have downloaded it.
This 'unloads' Flash Player from any task and also unloads the
ActiveX portion from memory.
After uninstalling and reinstalling, the 'Flash' in my
FlashHelp is back!
Hope this helps someone else with this problem.

Not picking up Toplink Descripters or classes from dependant project

Working w/ beta3 of the designer, and building a database adapter to do an insert, I've noticed that the BPEL process generates its own set of Offline Database Tables, Toplink Mappings and object classes, even though these offline tables, objects and mappings already exist in a project that I have set as a dependency. These mappings seem the same - am I missing something?
Thanks.
Dave

Hi David,
I don't think you can import one TopLink Project into another, or do it with a dependency.
However I created a new BPEL process project and then I added the toplink_mappings.mwp and src/ directory from another project I created, then ran the DBAdapter wizard. I was able to generate the toplink_mappings.xml, the wsdl, and the xsd.
To be safe you may want to copy these files into your new project first. The project should be named toplink_mappings.mwp.
Thanks

Question about dependent projects (and their libraries) in 11g-Oracle team?

Hello everyone,
I have a question about dependent projects. An example:
In JDeveloper 10.1.3.x if you had for instance 2 projects (in a workspace): project 1 has one project library (for instance a log4j library) and project 2 is a very simple webapplication which is dependent on project 1. Project 2 has one class which makes use of log4j.
This compiles fine, you can run project 2 in oc4j, and the libraries of project 1 (log4j) are added on the classpath and everything works fine. This is great for rapid testing as well as keeping management of libraries to a minimum (only one project where you would update a library e.g.)
However in 11g this approach seems not to work at all anymore now that weblogic is used, not even when 'export library' is checked in project 1. The library is simply never exported at all - with a noclassdeffound error as result. Is this approach still possible (without having to define multiple deployment profiles), or is this a bug?
Thanks!
Martijn

Hi Ron,
I've tried what you said, indeed in that .beabuild.txt when 'deploy by default' is checked it adds a line like: C:/JDeveloper/mywork/test2/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar = test2-view-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar
Which looks fine, except that /web-inf/lib/ is empty. I presume its a sort of mapping to say: Load it like it in WEB-INF/lib? This line is not there when the deploy by default is not checked.
I modified the TestBean as follows (the method that references Log4j does it thru a Class.forName() now only):
public String getHelloWorld() {
try {
Class clazz = Class.forName("org.apache.log4j.Logger");
System.out.println(clazz.getName());
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return "Hello World";
In both cases with or without line, it throws:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Logger

Secondly I added weblogic.xml with your suggested code, in the exploded war this results in a weblogic.xml which looks like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

Import JSPs from one project to another (depends on or ??)

I'd like to solve the large product problem: Broke up into several projects.
The problem is most evident in unit testing with the internal container. Any jsp includes
or forwards to JSP's in other projects just is not supported with local testing.
I'd be very happy to live with the same solution I'm using for classes from other projects.
I.E. a Project library that points to the output path of another project.
The deployment config for project B who depends on project A's classes, includes the classes
from A into the projB.ear.
I can live with this. It supports use of Tester and Local running of JSPs.
I'd like the same solution for JSPs too.
I'm happy to forgo the URL distinction that's possible by deploying all modules to an
external container. I'd be willing to live with all JSP's in proj A accessed as if they
where local to proj B.
Anybody have a solution?
At present I'm living in HELL, with JSP src in both places. As the project grows into
more modules, replication from A to B-->E just won't work. Plus, as JDev and SCM go,
someone always screws up and adds these copied files to SCM and the project.
It's currently a mess!
Thanks, curt

Although classes have the notion of a classpath, the HTML Root directories from several projects cannot be strung together like that. The OC4J server does not support multiple document roots for a single web module.
There are a few possibilities for you though:
1) Change the settings of each project so that they all point to the same HTML Root directory. In this configuration, a WAR profile in any one of the projects will deploy the entire contents of the HTML Root directory.
2) If you can't put all the JSPs in the same HTML Root directory, formalize the boundaries between the web modules by defining a "J2EE Web Context Root" for each project according to your exact need. Then when JSPs include or forward to each other, use URIs that contain the context root as part of the URI.
3) Keep everything in one project, but separate the JSPs into different directories. Then to get a filtered view of your JSPs in the JDev navigator. switch the navigator into "Category view" (Project | Show Categories). You can then selectively drill into a specific directory. If you select the project and then choose View | Display in New Navigator, you can get a separate navigator whose scope is narrowed onto your specific project.
Hope that helps. If you have any specific suggestions on enhancements that would improve your productivity in this area, please let us know.

If I move a picture from one project to another in aperture why doesn't the jpeg change folders if all my pictures are referenced?

I started importing all my pictures into Aperture and have been debating whether to use a managed or referenced library. I'm leaning toward referenced, but before import everything that way, I do a couple of "test drives".
In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't. Anyone know why? Is there a way to make this happen? Is it bad that I want this to happen? Should I just use a managed library. I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
Any thoughts?
Mark

In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't.
Mark, Aperture does not store the originals organized by project, but by the date of the Import Session. So moving an image to a different project will not change, were the original file is stored.
This has a big advantage for backing up the originals. If they never move or change, you do not have to backup the originals other than directly after importing, if your library is referenced. And even incremental backups of a managed library are quicker.
Is there a way to make this happen?
You can always use the command "File > Relocate" to move the original files anywhere you want.
Is it bad that I want this to happen? Should I just use a managed library. I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
If it is bad, will depend on why you want to have control of your originals. If you just want to know where they are, it is o.k., or if you don't have enough space on the drive with the library and need to split the library across several drives. But it would be bad to move, edit, or access the referenced originals in any way. Let Aperture do the handling, or you will be risking broken references.
Aperture has several buil-in ways to show you the original: The "M" key will switch the Browser to the original, "File > Export > Original" will give you an exact copy of the original, or you can relocate the file to another folder. I simply open the aperture Library in iPhoto, when I want to view my managed originals. iPhoto has a command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original" that will show you also the managed originals in the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture/iPhoto Library package.

Any way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from failed Time Machine backup?

Is there a way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from an unmountable Time Machine backup?
Background: I received an update alert on my iMac (mid-2010, 1TB) from Time Machine (wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule, 2TB 2013) that it required an update and required rebooting, of course, it happened when I was in the middle of a project and I postponed the restart for later. That evening I turned off the computer and coincidentally the next morning, the iMac would not start; it loaded to the Apple logo and about an 1/8 of the progress bar would load before the iMac would turn off.
The iMac had been fine to that day (OS upgrades and all since 2010) so I was assuming something misfired when I declined the Time Machine update. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets mentioned in the forums but no dice. I then went into Disk Utility to try repairs and there were errors on the hard drive that could not be fixed. My next step was to erase the drive and restore from my Time Machine backup. Before doing that I checked Disk Utility and to my horror, it told me that my Time Machine backups were unmountable so of course my first thought was that all my files were gone.
The TC was under warranty so I called support and they referred me to the local Genius Bar. The Genius was great and showed me that my files weren't lost even though the Time Machine backup was unmountable. They recommended I erase the partitions, starting from scratch and I would have to transfer the Time Machine backup files manually by directly connecting an ethernet cable from the TC to the computer. If that didn't work, the hard drive was bad and needed replacement which they could take care of.
I followed their recommendation and the hard drive is fine. I was so relieved to hear that my files were safe that I forgot to ask about all of the metadata that was lost in iTunes (de-selected songs, playlists, rankings, play counts) and iPhoto (geotags, names, etc). Any ideas / help? I sank considerable time into my music and photos and would love to have that time back.
FWIW, I'm in the process of buying an external hard drive as a secondary backup to the TC as my confidence is a little shaken on the product line - the first time I ever actually need a backup and the backup is unmountable. My whole point of spending a little more and buying into the Apple ecosystem for a backup solution was to streamline the backup process and avoid these types of issues.

Thank you for the reply. I tried the Disk Utility to repair my TC's Time Machine backup disk with no luck, it stopped with the message:
Disk utility stopped repairing "iMac"
Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
It took a night but I was able to copy all the TC Time Machine files to the external hard drive as a backup to a backup just in case. I'm still pretty bummed the TC's backup didn't allow for Disk Utility's restore functionality. Fortunately, the iPhoto library backup I dragged to the iMac from the Time Capsule backup worked without a hitch. On the downside, the "iTunes Library.itl" backup I dragged over is locked so now I'm checking out the forums for any ways to fix that. I temporarily created a new iTunes library with all my apps and music but plan on reverting to the old iTunes library if possible so I can start syncing my iOS devices again.

Import package from one project into another

Hello everyone,
I have some projects.
An enterprise and war project created in netbeans.
I would like to use some files from one project to another. when I import
the package I get the error-
'package x does not exist'
I have added the package to the project but I still get the error.
I have also added the project to import to my glasspath but still.
E.g.
set classpath
.;c:\enterpriseA;
My next idea is to create a war project into my enterprise project and copy the files
from the war project into it in order to use it. But I'm sure there is a better way.
THanking you in advance.

One mistake I keep making is that I don't add the package to the
Dependencies of the plugin I'm writing. You have to go to plugin.xml,
and add the package you depend on to the Dependencies section. Maybe you
didn't do this?

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

The package file is missing from the project directory

Today after working in SSIS all day with no problems, I re-opened one of my projects and got the message:
The package file ‘package_name.dtsx’ is missing from the project directory. This package has been skipped, and project will continue to load.
So two of my packages loaded and all remaining packages where skipped, one pop-up dialog for each “missing” package. I then looked in my project directory and all my packages are still there.
1. Has anyone experienced this and found why this happens?
2. Can I just import my packages again and be good to go?
Update:
I discovered that this had to do with renaming my packages in SSDT. For some reason the name changes did not get saved into the project .dtproj file. I was able to correct by renaming the .dtsx files in the project directory to their original name. Then
I re-opened the project, renamed the packages to the new names, saved and closed all packages. At this point you need to save the project, which actually wasn't really straight forward. You need to highlight the project name in Solution Explorer
and then from the File menu select 'Save Selected Items'. This updates the .dtproj file.
Upon closing SSDT, a dialog SOMETIMES appears asking you to save the project, after selecting Yes, the .dtproj file also updates. However, I've realized that upon closing the project, that the dialog asking to save the project does not always appear,
depending on what has changed in the project. To be safe, use method previously described, especially after renaming packages. Also, if SSDT happens to crash after you have renamed a package, the project will not re-open properly.

I remember one such occurrence when I used Source Control (if I recall right it was TFS), and yes, you can simply right-click on the packages folder and choose 'add existing package'.
But check for project file perhaps it has a wrong reference. E.g. something from the outside manipulated on the package files.

How to map business scenarios from implementation project to template project

Hi
We have a template project and in this we have maintained few business scenarios. And also some specific scenarions are configured in the implementation project. Now we need to make template project as Global Template and for this we need map all existing scenarios in implementation project to template project.
Please suggest how we can map from implementation project to template project.
Thank you

Hello,
Along with Sandeep recommendation, you can do it by several ways.It all depends on how are the current projects organized.
Did you create the template project and then rolled out the templates to the impl. project?
In case you want to update these scenarios in the Template project based on the changes you performed in te Impl. Project, you can use the Compare & Adjust functionality.
You can Copy Scenarios from one project into another by using the right click/context menu directly in the node in solar01.
If you just want to copy the structure, you could export the Impl. project structure in solar_project_admin by using the "fill business blueprint" functionality, then adjust the structure similarly for the template project and upload.
and so on..
regards,
Fabricius

HP ALM 11 : Synchronise imported libraries and source libraries between 2 projects.

Hi,
I created a librarie "LA" in project "PA", i put in this library 3 reqs and covering tests.
In the project "PB", I import the library "LA" so i now have in project "PB" a librarie "LA_imported" and the 3 reqs and covering tests from A.
I update a req in "PB".
I go in "PA" and i compare the librarie "LA" with the librarie "LA_imported" from project "PB".
I see that i have a difference between "LA" and "LA_imported", but the "Synchronise" button is not clicable.
What is the problem ?
thanks

The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
To be clear:
So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

How to use additional libraries in a project

I am trying to call an existing EJB from page bean. And for the life of me, I can not figure out how to add additional libraries to Creator project.
Is it supported at this stage?

Right click on the References node in the project navigator and select: Add New Library Reference. In the subsequent dialog, specify the path to the jar file you wish to include. This library will be automatically added to the application classpath at design time and deployed with the application when you run the project.

Time dependent project version

Hi,
As per standard SAP , status dependent project versions get archived automatically alongwith project structure , however time dependent project versions need to be archived separately.
Like to know how we can find out the total number of time dependent project versions for a particular company code or so .
Thanks in advance.
