Mapviewer cache tile management API?
Hi,
we are trying to use caching for a large and complex map whose rendering time is too large for the users.
Unfortunately the tile prefetch job which can be launched from the map cache control interface fails very often reporting that the offline.png file related to the level we are trying to prefetch is not accessible (no, it is not a disk space problem, there is plenty of space).
My question is: is it possible to lauch the cache tile prefetch job via some kind of api rather than using the administration interface? This feature would allow us to monitor the process and automatically relaunch the job upon failure.
Thanks in advance, cheers.

Antonio,
There was a good answer with an example posted a while back. Take a look at this: Re: How can I refresh the map cache for Oracle Maps ?
I hope this helps.

Mapviewer cache server security
I have an Oracle Application Server with MapViewer deployed
There are some map tile layers prefetched so all the files are in <tile_storage default_root_path> directory.
Also there is an application that uses mapviewer
but if I write in the browser host:port/mapviewer/mcserver?request=gettile&format=PNG&zoomlevel=0&mapcache=name&mx=1&my=2, I get the image.
How can I restrict access to mapviewer cache server to nonauthenticated users, so the prefetched images could be accessed only through my application.
Thanks.Hi!
First of all you can enable security constraints for +/mapviewer/*+ pages in you app server. -
Mapviewer caching on WMS and WFS
Does the tile cache do any good for WMS?
e.g.: only same result for same parameters like simple HTTP caching?
or can it do nice things like assembling cached tiles as required?
What about WFS caching? I assume every requests hits the database. Since moving the query window 5m to the left ... :-)
---Just to be clear then, if someone is accessing my MapViewer instance using WMS i.e they are sending requests such as
http://host:7001/mapviewer/wms?REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=...
MapViewer does not cache these and will generate the map each time (even for identical consecutive requests). Is this correct? -

I am polling Exchange Server to fetch all the mails left in the Inbox and then fetching them, processing them and finally moving them to the deleted folder. My procedure takes following form of EWS Managed API calls:
1 itemResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, itemView);
2 //some code...
3 service.LoadPropertiesForItems(itemResults.Items, itItemPropSet);
4 //some code...
5 foreach(Item item in itemResults)
6 {
7 //process item
8 item.Delete(DeleteMode.MoveToDeletedItems);
9 }
To test this code I flooded the inbox with 5000 mails, 5 threads flooding 1000 mails each at the interval of 4ms.
After test run, I realized some mails are getting processed multiple times.
When I read the soap traces logged using TraceListener, I realized that when there are more than 100 mails in the inbox, there are more SOAP packets were dispatched in burst of 100s.
Logically below set of SOAP Packets (let us call it "Set 1") should occur only once:
<m:FindItem>...</m:FindItem> //generated by line 1
<m:FindItemResponse>...</m:FindItemResponse> //generated by line 1
<m:GetItem>...</m:GetItem> //generated by line 3
<m:GetItemResponse>...</m:GetItemResponse> //generated by line 3
followed x number of Delete SOAP packets for x number of mails in the Inbox
<m:DeleteItem>...</m:DeleteItem> //generated by line 8
<m:DeleteItemRepsonse>...</m:DeleteItemRepsonse> //generated by line 8
However if there are say 325 mails in the inbox, then there first occurs 4 occurences of Set 1 followed by Delete SOAP packest as follows:
//1st occurence
<m:FindItem>100 items</m:FindItem>
<m:FindItemResponse>100 items</m:FindItemResponse>
<m:GetItem>100 items</m:GetItem>
<m:GetItemResponse>35 items</m:GetItemResponse>
//2nd occurence
<m:FindItem>100 items</m:FindItem>
<m:FindItemResponse>100 items</m:FindItemResponse>
<m:GetItem>100 items</m:GetItem>
<m:GetItemResponse>35 items</m:GetItemResponse>
//3rd occurence
<m:FindItem>100 items</m:FindItem>
<m:FindItemResponse>100 items</m:FindItemResponse>
<m:GetItem>100 items</m:GetItem>
<m:GetItemResponse>100 items</m:GetItemResponse>
//4th occurence
<m:FindItem>35 items</m:FindItem>
<m:FindItemResponse>35 items</m:FindItemResponse>
<m:GetItem>35 items</m:GetItem>
<m:GetItemResponse>35 items</m:GetItemResponse> //****followed by 335 occurences of the Delete SOAP packets****<m:DeleteItem>...</m:DeleteItem>
<m:DeleteItemRepsonse>...</m:DeleteItemRepsonse>
//334 more of above
So there are 100 + 100 + 100 + 35 = 335 items actually getting handled, which is 10 more than what are actually present in the inbox.
Also notice that Delete SOAP packets are queued till end. They are not dispatched in burst.
First thing I realize dispatching SOAP packets in burst of 100s is EWS Managed API behavior. I guess there must be traffic reason behind it and there must be some configuration setting to tweak it.
Q1. How can we change this count of 100?
I inferred that there are some overlaps in fetching of mails.
So I copy pasted SOAP Traces for first two of
<m:GetItem>100 items</m:GetItem>
in two different files, and compared them in text comparer. I realised that some mails that are at the end of the first 100s were reappearing at the beginning of 2nd 100:
This is the pattern in many test runs.
Due to this these overlapping mails, these mails are getting processed twice. Also the attempt to second time delete them was throwing exception : The specified object was not found in the store.
So I guess there is time delay in delete mail API call and mails actually getting deleted, between which they are getting refetched.
Q2. How can I handle this to avoid redundant processing of mails and unnecessary exceptions.I am polling Exchange Server to fetch all the mails left in the Inbox and then fetching them, processing them and finally moving them to the deleted folder. My procedure takes following form of EWS Managed API calls:
1 itemResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, itemView);

Hi,
I know there are other questions about ErrorAccessDenied but they are not exactly describing my situation and all are pretty much old and mostly not answered so forgive me for creating my own.
Also, wall of text coming so please bear with me.
We have an application that synchronizes Exchange items into our internal systems. Items created on Exchange are stored in that system and vice versa of course with a lot of business logic and rules, etc. Application uses EWS Managed API and impersonation
to access users mailboxes. Everything works fine but now we have this one customer that has a lot of strange things going on with main 2 problems mentioned in subject.
1. To ensure both sides (Exchange and our system) are in sync we have a functionality that allows users to decide that items no longer existing on Exchange should be removed also from system database. Since in our record we store id of original Exchange
item internal system simply sends us list of those ids to confirm items still exist. What application does is a BindToItems method call with BasePropertySet.IdOnly as requested property and depending on server response we notify internal system about state
of items. There is some semi complex logic behind what exactly is done on system side but in general NoError and item returned means item exists, ErrorItemNotFound means item doesn't exist.
For this one customer suddenly we started to receive ErrorAccessDenied and ErrorBatchProcessingStopped error codes which is very strange because seconds earlier there were events read from PullSubscribtion, items read from server, items created on server
and bunch of other stuff going on which basically makes me sure that impersonation is working. For some reason during execution of this particular code ErrorAccesDenied is returned and it messes up whole BindToItems call.
But what is really strange is that for first id in list of ids we get NoError and correct item returned, for second id we get ErrorAccessDenied, and rest of responses is ErrorBatchProcessingStopped. So is it really about credentials or there is some
completely different reason AccessDenied is retuned? According to customer those items exist in user mailbox for whom those errors are showing up. It doesn't happen for all users, only for some - who have exactly the same configuration of mailboxes as rest
(according to customer).
2. For same customer another problem started to occur since 1st of January, at least that is a date when they noticed it for the first time. Again, it happens for some users and there is no scenario that would guarantee to reproduce it.
When new record is created in our system or its data change it has to be created/updated on Exchange. With same impersonation as for problem described above I simply create new item or find existing item using id provided by our system, set item properties
according to whatever was sent and save/update item on Exchange. Simple and it works in multiple installations without problems.
But this customer reports that appointments created for one user show up in other users mailboxes which I find really strange because as far as I know when I impersonate [email protected] everything I do is executed in context of this one user only. So if
I create appointment in his calendar I cannot create same appointment in userB's calendar without explicitly switching impersonation to userB. What is worth mentioning during our sync process we store on Exchange items bunch of custom properties that help
us verify whole process and do various filters, etc. All of those custom properties are visible in outlook in that design form view or whatever it is called. And I have screenshot from user that claims to have one of those "not his" appointments
and basically half of our properties is not there and some have no values while they definitely should have otherwise whole sync would fail and everything is logged as successful.
Sorry for this wall of text but I really have no idea what can causing those strange problems so I tried to describe as much as possible without breaching NDA and such stuff. We added a lot of logging around areas where impersonation is changed, Exchange
items are created/updated, etc. Logs show nothing, of course.
So, for first issue: is it possible that items were moved on Exchange in such way that user still can see them but for EWS API call we get ErrorAccessDenied? I'm not sure where exactly could be such location because if id of an item would change we should
rather get ErrorItemNotFound or even something about id being not properly formatted, right?
For second issue: is it possible that there is something running on Exchange server and does some kind of simplistic mirroring of items between mailboxes? Customer claims there are no such things on server nor user side but can it be something that non-IT
people wouldn't know? Like some kind of script that admins like to run to keep server healthy or something innocent but lethal for our scenarios? Anybody has any hints what we should even ask customer about to get closer to solution of those mysterious problems?Were you able to figure what was going on with your first problem? we're seeing the exact same issue with one of our customers.

EWS Managed API 2.0 - Attachment.Inline property value incorrect
I have an application where I am reading the emails from a mailbox using EWS managed api. One of the things that I check for in the email message is whether it has any inline attachments.
I am having this issue where I have an email with an image in the body and an excel file attached. When I check the Attachment.Inline property for the image, it says "false". This is not right. It should say "true".
I tried to reproduce this behavior by creating an email of my own with the same image and another excel file as attachment but cannot reproduce it.
I tried stripping the excel attachment and forwarding the problem email with just the picture in it's body but I still see the inline property as false.
The text format on all these emails is HTML.
I am not sure why inline is false and why I am unable to reproduce this behavior.
Thanks.Yes FolderId's (like MessageId's) are globally unique.
>> In other words: Can 2 folders have the same id when accessing them?
No see

How to get list of Users[MailBoxes] in Exchange Server 2013 by using EWS Managed API
Hi all,
I need list of Users exists in my Exchange server 2013 , i.e Mail Box Users login name.
I was created Full Access permissions of all users to Admin user account, to access each user Mailbox programatically
i need the list of Mailboxes in exchange server .
MailBox mailbox = new MailBox("user");
Please share your ideasHi,
We can run the following command in Exchange Management Shell to get all user mailboxes name and export it to a .csv file:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select Name,Alias,RecipientTypeDetails | Export-Csv c:\Users.csv
If you want to retrieve the list of users by using EWS Managed API, I suggest you can ask a question in Exchange Development forum for more suggestion:

Use of Lync Icon in custom UI's built from Lync 2013 Managed API
We are a Microsoft Gold Partner with Application Developers status. I am building an application using the Lync 2013 managed API to evoke Lync 2013 client commands from a tab within my application. How can I use the Microsoft Lync 2013 icon on the
tab which opens the custom UI to display Lync 2013 client function buttons since this sends the managed API commands to the Lync 2013 client.
Who can help me with understanding the use of Microsoft icons within Microsoft provided managed API's and SDK's used to develop applications ?
Also can I redistribute the Microsoft Lync 2013 client within the application as a redistributable?
AGHi,
The issue is more related to Lync development. You may post a question on MSDN forum and more Lync development expert will help you. Thank you for your understanding.

Crystal Reports version 13 managed api's run slower than native version 11
Hello,
I am a senior engineer, working in a project of porting client code written in C++ using Crystal 11. It uses the native COM api like shown approximately in the following code fragment:-
IApplicationPtr pApplication;
pApplication.CreateInstance("CrystalRuntime.Application.11");
pReport = pApplication->OpenReport("myreportfile.rpt", vtOpenMethod);
... code to setup Export Options, setLogonInfo on database, set parameters for report etc.
pReport->Export(false);
This code is launched in few threads, and works nicely, and a very stable used code in real world.
We have ported this to Crystal 13 .NET api's and our code approximately looks like
ReportDocument document = new ReportDocument();
document.Load("myreportfile.rpt", OpenReportByTempCopy);
.. set diskfile format options, pdf format options, paramters, logon info etc. very very similar to the native C++ code, almost matching 1 by 1 line
document.Export();
document.Close();
No problem so far, and it works fine. This is also launched in multiple threads same in number like native, and works fine. We get the same pdf file generated.
But here is the problem. In native we are getting easily around 2000 reports in 20 mins. But in managed we are taking 35 mins for the same set of reports. The output looks fine and same etc. But there is a good 40-50% performance regression, and we have tried so many things, but never able to beat this 40-50% perf degradation.
Can you please help ? A few questions. First are we executing document.Export really concurrently ? Is there any waiting or serialization going on insider Crystal api's. Is this Crystal 13 managed api, a thin stub layer just passing on to native COM apartment threaded dll. Can this layer introduce such a delay ?
A few things we have tried and haven't succeeded for summary:-
1. Opened 1 dummy report in the beginning and kept opened throught, to flush any ref counted inits
2. Didn't perform Close immediately, but had another thread chew on it and Close delayed
3. Reduced the thread to 1, (in native as well), again our perf degradation is comparable.
4. Optimized the reports from various suggestion in this forum. Did better, but so did the native, and still we are comparatively poorer.
Thanks for the same, Eager to supply more info if required.
R. SridharanFirst I'd like you to have a look at the document SAP Crystal Reports Engine in a Multi-Threaded Visual Studio Application. Next make sure you are using SP 10 for CRVS.
Next, you will have to tell me what database you are using, connection type and if MS SQL, what client?
BTW.; these being community forums, you may get an answer, you may not. It may be timely, or not. If you are looking for a faster response, there is the option of creating a phone incident here:

Work Manager API in Sun Java Application Server 8.1
I am trying to build a parallel application using Work Manager api (javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager;)
I studied the Websphere implementation of WorkManager there you need to make JNDI lookup for work manager and then use it to submit the work.
My question is if i make class which will implement the javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager; interface and use that class to submit the work and execute it in parallel then will that class will handle the resource management and all j2ee services
Do we have separate implementation of work manager API for Sun Java Application Server 8.1 (any jar like asynch.jar in IBM websphere) so that we will just create a work manager using admin console and make JNDI lookup and use it
Please guide meBefore I start, disclaimer -- I have no knowledge of Hibernate and the following comments are based on the stack trace you have included.
I think your permissions might be set all right but you might have an error in the hibernate query. It looks like hibernate uses antlr to parse the queries. While parsing the query, antlr is encountering an exceptional condition and is trying to exit the VM (by calling System.exit()). Obviously, the hibernate code does not have that permission and therefore the exception is logged.
My guess is if you fix the query such that hibernate/antlr can parse it, you will not run into this error.
Hope this helps, -
[office365 Exchange online][MVC5][EWS Managed Api] Need a hack to get access token ?
Hi there, I am using following code example to get access token from Azure AD online. I need to bridge EWS managed api with office 365 Api via Azure AD. The below code is working just fine in my MVC application but I am looking for a way to get the access
token in simple string returning function so that I can use it to make call against EWS mananged api.
private static string tempToken = "";
public static string GetAccessToken()
return tempToken;
internal static async Task<OutlookServicesClient> EnsureOutlookServicesClientCreatedAsync(string capabilityName)
var signInUserId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
var userObjectId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst("http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/objectidentifier").Value;
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(Settings.Authority, new NaiveSessionCache(signInUserId));
try
DiscoveryClient discClient = new DiscoveryClient(Settings.DiscoveryServiceEndpointUri,
async () =>
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(Settings.DiscoveryServiceResourceId,
new ClientCredential(Settings.ClientId,
Settings.AppKey),
new UserIdentifier(userObjectId,
UserIdentifierType.UniqueId));
return authResult.AccessToken;
var dcr = await discClient.DiscoverCapabilityAsync(capabilityName);
return new OutlookServicesClient(dcr.ServiceEndpointUri,
async () =>
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(dcr.ServiceResourceId,
new ClientCredential(Settings.ClientId,
Settings.AppKey),
new UserIdentifier(userObjectId,

return authResult.AccessToken;
catch (AdalException exception)
//Handle token acquisition failure
if (exception.ErrorCode == AdalError.FailedToAcquireTokenSilently)
authContext.TokenCache.Clear();
return null;
This is an excerpt from Microsoft single tenant application in MVC5. In the code, I have created a function called GetAccessToken() which does nothing.. I am hoping you experts can help me figure out how to transfer the accessToken from EnsureOutlookServcesClientCreated
function which is actually returning token, to my GetAccessToken() so that I can make call against EWS managed Api. Sorry, If I sound pretty stupid but I really need your help in this regard.
best regards,Yes sir, Let me try to explain me about my scenario. I need to use EWS managed Api with office 365 Rest Api to get benefits from both the Apis. Here is here code I am using to connect to EWS managed Api but it is failing with 401:Unauthorized. I already
have "Full Access" turned on in Azure AD. I have the access token from AZure AD and want to use it to make call against EWS managed Api.
var outlookClient = await AuthHelper.EnsureOutlookServicesClientCreatedAsync("Mail");
//IPagedCollection<IMessage> messagesResults = await outlookClient.Me.Messages.ExecuteAsync();
// Get the ID of the first message.
// string messageId = messagesResults.CurrentPage[0].Id;
string tokenx = AuthHelper.GetAccessToken();
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.HttpHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + tokenx);
service.PreAuthenticate = true;
service.SendClientLatencies = true;
service.EnableScpLookup = false;
service.Url = new Uri("https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx");
// Get all the folders in the message's root folder.
ExFolder rootfolder = ExFolder.Bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot);S
Scenario of my migration application:
1. I have a Gmail mailbox email in Raw(complete email in base64-urlsafe with attachments) format with RFC2822. I need to migrate this mailbox to Exchange online. I believe EWS managed Api has better support on this one.
2. Likewise I need to migrate Gmail Calendars, Tasks and Contacts to Exchange online.
I would be highly grateful to you , if you tell me how to bridge EWS managed Api with office 365 Api.
