Name of directories WEB-INF and META-INF

Hi;
I found in my EAR file and WAR file of my proyect that some files are saved in lower case.
Examples:
- web-inf/struts-config.xml
- web-inf/web.xml
WEB-INF and META-INF directories must be in uppercase. Is it a bug? Could be a problem in the deploy?
Thanks,

Repost.
Nobody knows this problem?.

Problem deploying connector: META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file

          Has anyone seen this problem:
          I built Sun's Blackbox implementation and packaged
          it identical to the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included with
          Weblogic's 'jconnector' sample (even using the same
          ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml). When I try to deploy
          it, the server reports:
          java.io.FileNotFoundException:
          META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file
          I have no idea why the server thinks my connector
          is an EJB. If I deploy the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included
          with the sample, everything works without a hitch.
          The only variable that I'm changing in my BlackBoxNoTx.rar
          is that I build the Blackbox classes myself--otherwise,
          the RAR packagings are identical. Any assistance is
          greatly appreciated since I'm banging my head against
          a wall...
          Thanks,

          I was finally able to resolve this one. On the odd chance that someone else encounters
          the same problem, here's what went wrong:
          My RAR file had two directories: 'META-INF' and 'meta-inf'. The first was created
          by the jar tool and contained the manifest.mf file. The second I created manually
          and it contained my ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml. When I examined the RAR using
          any tools or I extracted the contents, it looked like it only contained one directory:
          META-INF (because NT is case-insensitive).

Visual Web JSF web app unable to render. The theme tries to access META-INF

Hi,
BACKGROUND: I have created a Netbeans 6 Visual Web Project using the default Visual Web JSF Theme. My web application can be viewed properly and correctly when i deploy it on tomcat 6.
ARCHITECTURE: Our server configuration requires IIS to be our web server and tomcat to be our app server. Both are running on different machines. I have successfully linked up IIS 6 and tomcat 6 using the JK isapi_redirector.
PROBLEM: However, when i connect to my app via IIS, my starting page opens but the input box components on that page are not displayed and i get several javascript errors that read - 'dojo is undefined' and 'webui is undefined'.
PROBLEM DETAILS: I found that the page being served had a lot of files being requested from a META-INF folder. I have attached a snippet here.

Somebody tries to hack into the site!!!+*". The same message is repeated for several more javascript files that are being served from under the META-INF path.
Any help or advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I managed to find a workaround. Thought i should share it with those who are faced with a similar issue.
I found that a bug report had been placed in the past with Apache Dev. However, they had said that they would not modify their logic because the servlet container spec requires it (even though isapi_redirector is only a connector and not a container). They said that there is no way for the isapi_redirector to differentiate between /foo/WEB-INF when foo is a context and when foo is just a sub-directory of the ROOT web application. So, the general consensus was to err on the side of safety and risk blocking a few requests that are valid.
However, this causes a serious issue for those using NetBeans JSF Visual Web Projects. Hence, I created my own flavour of isapi_redirector by modifying the code such that this check is not performed and leaving the onus of checking on Tomcat.
For those who are interested, the simplest way to go about this would be to force the function uri_is_web_inf (in jk_isapi_plugin.c ) to always return FALSE.

META-INF/context.xml, Tomcat, META-INF/services

I presently have a Netbeans project laid out like this:
src
src\java
web
web\META-INF
web\META-INF\context.xml
etc. Tomcat finds that META-INF/context.xml OK and does what I expect with it.
I have recently added something that is loaded by java.util.ServiceLoader, which requires a META-INF/services/x.y.z file containing the name(s) of the classes that implement x.y.z. After deployment, my webapp's ServiceLoader doesn't find it, because in the target it isn't in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services/x.y.z. If I put it into src/java/META-INF/services/x.y.z it works correctly, as it then ends up in the right place. However I'm now concerned that either Tomcat won't find the context.xml if I put it in the same place under src, because it would then not be in /META-INF/context.xml but rather /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/context.xml, which in turn would mean that I would then need two META-INF directories. I'm about to test that conjecture about Tomcat finding it under WEB-INF/classes/META-INF, but I'm wondering whether I'm doing something basically wrong in the first place here.

You seem to think that you can have only one META-INF directory; this is simply not true. Keep both your META-INF directories and put the files where they are expected. Yay for using overlapping names :/

Persistence.xml under classes/META-INF makes other jar references to miss

Hi,
When I am adding persistence.xml to classes/META-INF folder where classes folder got other packages under it, classes in such packages are not getting reference to respective jar files in lib folder. So, deployment of the web project in OAS (Oracle application server) 10g fails mentioning NoClassDef found for classes from library jars referred. If I remove persistence.xml from here, the war file is getting deployed. Deployment fails even when the persistence.xml is available anywhere in classpath (like WEB-INF).
What is the reason & how to correct it?Any alternative approach like manifest or use some settings in OAS?

Hi,
To be accessible to the EJB JAR, WAR, or EAR file, a class or a JAR file must be on the deployment classpath. You can achieve this in one of the following ways:
Put the JAR file in the manifest classpath of the EJB JAR or WAR file. Do this by adding a classpath entry to the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in the JAR or WAR file. You may specify one or more directories or JAR files, separating them by spaces. The following example shows how the manifest file classpath entry adds the employee/emp-classes.jar file and the employee/classes directory to the classpath of the JAR file that contains the manifest file:
Class-Path: employee/emp-classes.jar employee/classes
Place the JAR file in the library directory of the EAR filethis will make this JAR file available on the application classpath and accessible by all of the modules deployed within the EAR file. By default, this would be the lib directory of the EAR file, although you may configure it to be any directory in the EAR file using the library-directory element in the application.xml deployment descriptor. The following example shows the application.xml file:
<application ...>
<library-directory>myDir/jars</library-directory>
</application>
Java EE allows for persistence support in a variety of packaging configurations. You can deploy your application to the following module types:
EJB modules: you can package your entities in an EJB JAR. When defining a persistence unit in an EJB JAR, the persistence.xml file is not optionalyou must create and place it in the META-INF directory of the JAR alongside the deployment descriptor, if it exists.
Web modules: you can use WAR file to package your entities. In this case, place the persistence.xml file in the WEB-INF/classes/META-INF directory. Since the WEB-INF/classes directory is automatically on the classpath of the WAR, specify the mapping file relative to that directory.
Persistence archives: a persistence archive is a JAR that contains a persistence.xml file in its META-INF directory and the managed classes for the persistence unit defined by the persistence.xml file. Use a persistence archive if you want to allow multiple components in different Java EE modules to share or access a persistence unit. The following example shows how to package entities in a persistence archive:
emp.ear
emp-persitence.jar
META-INF/persistence.xml
META-INF/orm.xml
examples/model/Employee.class
examples/model/Phone.class
examples/model/Address.class
examples/model/Department.class
examples/model/Project.class
Once you created a persistence archive, you can place it in either the root or the application library directory of the EAR. Alternatively, you can place the persistence archive in the WEB-INF/lib directory of a WAR. This will make the persistence unit accessible only to the classes inside the WAR, but it enables the decoupling of the definition of the persistence unit from the web archive itself.

No META-INF/application.xml was found in the EAR

I create a EAR using:

MBAM 2.0 SP1 Self help website error after changing name of website on IIS and web config

guys
i need your help here , i have fully operational 3 tier enviroment with config manager ,when i created this enviroment i only used the fully qualified domain name of the web server and now i need to change the name in order to comply with company website
names.
now i have went to ISS and changed the name on the bindings and changed also the web config file and this resolved the helpdesk website as it can now talk to backend and retrieve the key .
my only issue now is the self service website , i changed the web config for it as we and when i try to retrieve the key it says an unknown error has occured please contact IT , am not sure where else to check , please help

If I would be in your place, i would rather have created an alias for the existing FQDN with that of the newer one into the on-premises DNS Server.
Create a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in DNS that users and group policy settings will use to connect to the MBAM server. For example:
http://bitlocker.contoso.com.
Open DNS manager.
Expand DCServer_Name>>Forward lookup Zone>>Domain_Name.
Right Click on domain name and choose New Alias (CName).
Provide the alias name(bitlocker.contoso.com) and the FQDN for the target host.

Meta-inf and web-inf

Im using Tomcat 5.5 server...
Ik Ive got a page that manages some user databaze. But whats bad is that the databaze is in tomcatHome/webapps/userData/users.xml
and everybody can access this file only by entering host/userData and then choose the users.xml.. I would like to place it in meta or web-inf so that only the web can access the file. How can i access web or meta inf in java or jsp?

hmm that was very useful but id didnt work on my computer
ive got 2 files:
processLogon.jsp:
boolean verif = new UserHandler().verifyUser( user.getUser(), user.getPassword(), "/WEB-INF/users.xml", getClass());//the important part
and a UserHandler.java:
public boolean verifyUser( String user, String password, String url, Class clas)
boolean verif = false;
Document document = null;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try
InputStream inputXML = clas.getResourceAsStream("users.xml");
//Build document:
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse(inputXML);
} catch etc.......
the users.xml is placed in tomcat_home/webapps/myapp/web-inf/classes
so what am i doing wrong!?!?

Deploying EJB JAR and Application EAR, META-INF directory name

To all:
I had a problem the last couple of days with deploying an EJB and application.
I'm new to WebLogic, maybe this is common knowledge, but I researched it and
didn't find any reference to what I discovered.
I'm using WebLogic Server 7 Service Pack 2 (7.02), on Windows 2000.
My problem was that the application that I was trying to deploy would not deploy
successfully, because a dependent class was not found for the EJB. I tried everything,
but the only thing I could get to work was placing the dependent jar files in
the classpath of the WebLogic server, within the start script. I correctly had
the Class-Path manifest line correct, but the dependent classes were not being
found.
Through trial and error I discovered that the META-INF directory within the JAR
and EAR archives HAS TO BE ALL UPPERCASE for the app server to successfully find
the manifest.mf file and the application.xml file.
As soon as I changed the directory name in both the EJB JAR file and the application
EAR file, the EJB deployed successfully, all dependent classes were then found.
I'm posting this here to help anybody that might have the same problem. There
is not any documentation that I could find that had this directory name requirement
explicitly stated.

JD

What does the manual for the OC4J application server have to say about it all?

ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml must contain one and only one root file reference."

Hi all,
After correcting a table-of-contents error in my .epub file, I am unable to upload it via iTunes Producer. It lists this error message:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml in 9780615431727.epub must contain one and only one root file reference." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
The file has been verified and only has one root file reference in the container.xml file.
Has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Hello Forum Users…
For those of you who have run into the upload roadblock, getting an error message similar to this:
Package Summary:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
          /Users/slm/Desktop/MUSIC to PICTURE for IBOOK/2012 MTP for iTUNES Bookstore/9780615600918.itmsp - Error Messages:

Following is a "specific" fix, but the idea of the fix will help you with your specifics too.
I tried for 17 days to upload a book that looked and worked perfectly in iPAD via Preview.
After many discussions with Apple, who to their credit stayed with me over 2-3 days, I decided to play a hunch.
I went into a duplicated copy of the book and on every page, (because the error message was not telling the whole story), looked for what InDesign would call "Overset Text."
Now... the "flaw" in iBOOK Author (hint) is that it won't advise you of this "overset text" as does InDesign.
And to compound the matter, the exported ePUB document WORKS in iPAD Preview.
See Screenshots from InDesign:
Okay... Couldn't add it but it is a Warning Box that says there is overset text. (Characters which exceed the text box.)
Nevertheless, I played this hunch, and sure enough found a few boxes with the + in them. In other words I clicked on EVERY text holder and every text block in the entire document.
Where I found + signs, I simply deleted some carriage returns from the iBOOK file... (please note… carriage returns and literally empty spaces that caused the overset text) and then erased all previous copies of the Music to Picture Book on my hard drive, iTUNES and iPAD.
The result? A "text-book" upload with no snags! As my Son would say… "Victory!"
So, first make sure that you are using only PNGs, Jpegs and Movie files to iBook Specs. Then... make sure there are no overset text boxes, which you must do manually.
Enjoy & Godspeed!

PLEASE HELP. How do you access properties files in WEB-INF and classes directory

We have a war file that needs to access properties files that are in the WEB-INF directory
of the war file. We also need to load one of the properties files from the classpath.
However, when we deploy the application ( an ear which inlcludes an ejbjar and a
war and the libraries both the ejbjar (with a manifest setting the classpath ) and
war need ) the properties don't get extracted.
In some of our servlets we are trying to access those files with the path "WEB-INF/foo.properties"
and we get a FileNotFoundException. Then we check and see that NO properties files
have been extracted into their appropriate places ( not even those we throw into
the WEB-INF/classes directory ).
PLEASE HELP,
Christian Hargraves

The file doesn't have to be extracted from the war. For example, you can place
test.properties into your app WEB-INF and write a simple JSP to see how it
works:
<%
InputStream in = application.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/test.properties");
%>
It will return you a zip inputstream if you deployed your application as a .war.
Christian Hargraves <[email protected]> wrote:
I try this, but I get a NullPointerException. The file never actually gets extracted
from the war. Under tomcat and resin this works great ( that's why I am having all
of the trouble i am having ), but there are absolutely no properties files in the
extracted directories for WebLogic deploys. only:
WEB-INF/some_tmp_dir/WEB-INF/lib
and then some dynamically generated jor file with all of the classes that would normally
go in WEB-INF/classes ( all except the properties, of course, which are no where
to be found. ).
There has to be some kind of setting I am missing. Please don't make me seperate
these properties files from the war/ear and then put the path to these properties
files in the CLASSPATH, changing one step to three steps to deploy!!
I have found a documented bug where you can't even put the properties files in a
jar file and that bug will never be fixed for WebLogic 6.1.

WEB-INF/lib (.war) Vs META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (.ear)

What are the Class loading differences between libraries that are in a web application web-inf/lib and that are in class-path entry of META-INF/manifest.mf of a ear.
I recently developed a web services application with a ejb endpoint.Then
packaged it in a ear file with the classpath entry .The problem occured when I placed the weblogic.jar(and other third party jars) in the ear file which my ejb.jar uses as utility jar's. Jboss starts behaving weird.Some of the classes of jboss are overwritten and class cast exception errors started coming up.
Overnight I changed the application to a servlet end point and placed all my jars in the WEB-INF/lib then everything started working smooth.
Can any body help me , understand what is happening. Why doesn't j2ee have something like META-INF/lib

What did you do to resolve this issue .. I'm having the exact same problem.
What a nightmare.
I found approximately 40 forums on this topic (and
there are probably more), but noone has the definitive
answer!
Here's the problem....
My servlet uses a utility class that resides in some
other jar. That jar is then placed into the
WEB-INF\lib directory of the WAR which in turn goes
into the EAR. This is supposed to be all that is
needed in order for the utility class to be found on
the classpath.
In fact, if you run the war in Tomcat as a standalone
WAR it does in fact find it.... its when in an EAR
deloployed to app server that the problem arises.
I have had no luck with using any combination of
putting the jar ANYWHERE in the EAR or WAR no matter
if I specify the Class-Path: in the manifest(s) or
not.
I thought maybe that I was missing some config in the
application.xml or web.xml but I couldn't find
anything to support that.
Maybe its dependent on the app server? I am using
Orion, but the same problem can be found on J2EE RI
release 1.3
Work arounds:
1. Simply put the utility jar in the lib directory of
the server you're using
2. Add an ejb module to the application.xml naming the
utility jar as the ejb jar. Of course this is NOT an
EJB jar and error messages/warnings will appear
accordingly, but on Orion at least, it will load the
classes needed... hooray!!
Anyone got a definitive answer?

How to get and read a file from META-INF directory

how to get and read a file from META-INF directory in a EJB project

Use this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/filename");This should work. Probably, you would need to set the Manifest Class-Path attribute.

Where to place /META-INF/context.xml ?

Hi,
Apologies, but this is a newbie question. In the tomcat docs, it states that
"A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat specific configuration..."
Could you please tell me where /META-INF/context.xml is placed relative to web application root? In other words, if I have a web application in a directory /MyWebApp, should the /META-INF dir be in /MyWebApp/META-INF or should it be under /WEB-INF?
Thanks.
Ben

You seem to think that you can have only one META-INF directory; this is simply not true. Keep both your META-INF directories and put the files where they are expected. Yay for using overlapping names :/

Name of directories WEB-INF and META-INF
