Problem with weblogic.deploy and cluster

          I'm having some problems with the weblogic.deploy class when trying to refresh
          a jsp file. Using the following command to redeploy the entire application works
          fine:
          java weblogic.deploy -port 9876 -host apptest01 update
          administrator portal c:\portal-site
          However using the following command to refresh just one jsp
          file:
          java weblogic.deploy -url t3://apptest01:9876 -username system
          -jspRefreshFiles ./index.jsp -jspRefreshComponentName portal
          refresh administrator portal
          produces the following stack trace:
          javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve

          Hi John,
          How's tricks?
          It looks to me as though the olbcluster JNDI reference isn't being resolved from
          the tree. A similar error results when a Connection Pool cannot be resolved, the
          JNDI context env.jdbc is resolved but the particlar pool isn't. In my experience
          it often turns out to be an error in the correlation between the deployment descriptors,
          settings applied via the console and references made in the code.
          That's my tuppence worth,
          James :-)

  • Problem with weblogic deployment descriptor tool (DDInit)

    Hi,
    I'm just playing with weblogic ... following their tutorual but I can't seem to run their deployment descriptor tool:
    java weblogic.ant.taskdefs.war.DDinit <folderName> gives me a NoClassDefFoundError.
    I have weblogic6.0sp1 installed with an evaluation license which has not yet expired. I have d:\bea\wlserver6.0sp1\lib in mt classpath so weblogic.jar is n there.
    When I check out the contents of the weblogic.jar file .. I can't seem to find this tool.
    Can anyone give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong?

    Here's a link describing the process. If this is what you are doing then your problem may be that 6.0 doesn't support this.

  • Problems with weblogic clustering in 6.1 sp3

    We have spent a lot of time trying to get our application deployed to
              a cluster using weblogic 6.1 sp3 and we consistently receive a failure
              when we attempt to start the managed server. This was not a problem
              with weblogic sp1--we got our application to deploy to the cluster
              successfully; although there was another weblogic bug there with
              clients accessing EJB clusters--we won't go into that here...
              We have tried this on both a Windows 2000 machine and an HP machine
              running weblogic sp3. The same error occurs on both platforms.
              The error in deploying our application to the cluster against weblogic
              sp3 looks to have to do with our custom security realm. Inside our
              custom realm we make use of a configurable providerUrl which we set to
              the cluster address/port. The custom realm makes a call where it
              passes in the providerUrl to:
                   weblogic.management.Helper.getMBeanHome(..., providerUrl,...)
              When we have our providerUrl set to the cluster address/port--e.g.,
                   t3://clustermember1:7001
              and attempt to start the managed server we get the error:
              Starting WebLogic Server ....
              Connecting to http://adminserver:7117...
              The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
              Exception raised:
              weblogic.management.configuration.ConfigurationException:
              clustermember1 not found

                   at weblogic.Server.main(Server.java:35)
              Reason: Fatal initialization exception
              When we have our providerUrl set to the admin server address--e.g.,
                   t3://adminserver:7117
              everything starts up fine.
              Does anyone know why this would work on sp1 and not sp3 of weblogic
              6.1?
              We verified that all passwords are correct and everything else we
              could determine--any ideas would be helpful.
              We don't want the providerUrl to point at our admin server, we want it
              to point at the cluster address/port.
              When we get the managed server error, we received this error on the
              AdminServer:

              Thanks for any help.

    Bottom line:
              In our custom realm we were not handling user guest correctly. Even if you
              have guest user disabled, Weblogic seems to have hard-coded guest to
              send messages to the cluster every-so-often. Not sure there--couldn't get
              an answer out of bea as to exactly why we see guest still being used...
              It seems that with sp3, the user guest interaction started happening earlier
              than it did with sp1, consequently making our realm code fail when trying to
              retrieve the guest user like someone we knew about in our system.
              Hence, our getUser and authUserPassword methods now return null for both
              users guest and system, making the secondary realm (file realm) be used to
              authenticate and resolve guest & system. BEA helped get our code fixed;
              however, we still don't have a lot of depth in understanding Weblogic
              server's use of guest...
              Apparently, in 7.x the guest & system user behavior and configuration is
              different also... We'll see when we start digging into that migration.

  • Problem with Weblogic Builder SP1

    I have a problem with Weblogic Builder SP1. I basically re-used my EJB deployment
    descriptors from WL5.1 in WL8.1. Before SP1, i have no problem loading my EJB
    in WB. But with SP1, WB throws weblogic.marathon.model.LoadFailureException.
    I re-attempted by jarring my EJB with WL5.1 descriptors and used my friend's WB
    (not SP1) to export new descriptors which I used to re-jar. This new EJB is again
    not recognised by WB SP1?
    What is wrong?

    The exception is as follows:
    Opening module myproj.jar

  • Problem with weblogic.Deployer in 8.1

    I have a problem with weblogic.Deployer. My application deploys and works fine
    if I manually copy the ear or the exploded form into weblogic's applications\
    directory (hot deployment). But, if I use the weblogic.Deployer tool, it fails
    with the following exception. Does the deployer tool expect something in the ear
    (or exploded form) that I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Deepak,
    I didn't understand the suggested resolution. Can you tell me what it means?
    However, I found a similar problem in the archives, so I tried from command line
    (outside ant) using "java weblogic.Delployer ...." and it worked! It doesn't work
    from ant. So, you think there's some conflict between my ant and weblogic's ant
    task "WLDdeploy"?
    Thanks,
    Vas

  • Problem with Data Model and Analysis View

    I create an analyze in BI Publisher and then i create a data model using this object.
    When i try to generate an XML with a number of rows the BI Publisher return an empty XML (Only with de DATA_DS tags but no data).   To bypass this problem i make and XML file by hand and this allow me to create reports and design it but when i try to view the reports i got the message that says "No Data Found".
    So i was check the analysis and all looks appears to be fine,  In the results tab it show me a complete table with the data i was looking to use.
    So i try to repeat the error and when  i try to create the XML for the Data Model i found this two error in the logs:

    As i understand there is has a reference to a null value but i cant find what column of the analysis has the problem.
    Any ideas about how to solve or debug this?
    Thanks

    I follow your instructions and it works fine. I can create the XML and the reports can show data.
    So, i already know that there is no problem with the data and with the BI Publisher installation but i still doesn know what is the problem with the analysis view that fails.
    Any idea how to debug it?
    Thanks.

  • Strange Problem with PAR deployment.

    Hi Everybody,
    I am undergoing with the strange problem with PAR deployment. When I am deploying any Par file its going successful but when again If I am changing this same PAR file in NWDS and deploying it ... its deploying but not showing the updated deployment version. To see the updated version, every time, I have to go Portal->System Admin->Support->Admin Console and DELETE the existing PAR file. But this procedure takes too time to work on each and every time. Can you help me with some new concept where the new deployed version will get updated on previous one without any manual process or if this something related to cache problem then how to work out?
    Thanks,
    Roshan Gupta

    Hi,
    If it saves you time you can also deploy from here:
    .../irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console.ClusterAdminConsole
    In some cases (rarely) I observed the behavior you described above.
    In thoes cases after deploying the file I click the "clean" button on the bottom, since after the deployment it contains the name of the par you just uploaded it'll save you the time of looking for that par to earase.
    After that you have to deploy the par again, but again it's allready in the browse console box.
    Best Regards,
    Nadav.

  • Any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?

    Hi,
    In my company I work with java developers who believe in some kind of "holly" database independence I don't understand and as a result my life as a database developer is hell on earth.. Yesterday we again started to discuss, this time where to log, they believe database is slow and prefer logging to filesystem, after some hours finally I could convince them for some operational and reporting needs to use the database and will do this in an asyncronous way whiich they won't get slow. After all I believe the reason for a database is data, this is the place where data lives, and with the correct desing and implementation logging to database would perform better.
    I love Oracle features, and know that we paid a lot for this software, so today I started investigating this promised solution. And quickly I found AQ and JMS topics in the documentation :)
    After this introduction here is my problem; my company use BEA Weblogic as application server and the java guys want AQ to automatically (but of course with some delay) take their JMS log requests into database tables. Does any one have similar application experience, or any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?
    Any comments, references, documentation, sample code, url will be most welcomed :)
    Thank you very much!

    Part IV
    Using Oracle JMS and Oracle Streams AQPart V describes how to use Oracle JMS and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).

    Chapter 12, "Oracle JMS Basic Operations"
    Chapter 13, "Oracle JMS Point-to-Point"

    Chapter 16, "Oracle JMS Types Examples"
    A Sample Code from Otn
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/jmsws/NewsQueueEJB.java.html

    I wouldn't go as far to say Oracle AQ is out-dated today. However, it is indeed a proprietary technology that did not found much main-stream adoption in the earlier years after its introduction. The advent of JMS made it somewhat more useful (or should I say intriguing, because more people are trying to tie it together with other J2EE technologies), but the Oracle's JMS wrapper classes in aqapi.jar were not feature complete for a long while, so using it outside Oracle's application server was painful, if not impossible. I do agree that the info at the dev2dev's JMS newsgroup or in this forum is highly fragmented, as neither Oracle nor BEA provides an official solution to integrate AQ with WebLogic, so people like us have to learn the technology through experimentation and in a piecemeal fashion.
    3 years ago I was literally "playing around" - we had a polling mechanism set up to use triggers to write Oracle data changes into an event table, and had a Java-based daemon to scan that table and publish events as JMS messages to the WebLogic JMS server. This continues to work reliably till today, but I was looking for a solution that has few parts - I wanted to hook up my WebLogic MDB directly to AQ as a foreign JMS provider. Although I was able to get it to work (including XA), there were a few hoops I had to jump through, such as decompiling the Oracle AQjms classes to make them bind to the WebLogic JNDI tree.
    One year after that Diptanshu Parui took what I did a giant step further - he extended the Oracle AQjms classes to allow them to be bound to the WebLogic JNDI tree naturally, and he figured out how to use WebLogic JMS messging bridge to re-send single-threaded AQ JMS messages to clustered JMS queues, which allow concurrent message assumption by multiple instances of MDB's. My impression is that he is using that setup in a production environment.
    I am sure you are aware of it but I would like to make it clear - in order to use AQ as a foreign JMS provider to WebLogic-hosted MDB's, you don't need to update your database to Oracle 10g - Oracle 8i is good enough (although I recommend at least 9i Release 2). It is not the database engine, but rather the aqapi.jar JMS wrapper on top of AQ that matters. I do recommend that you use aqapi.jar from Oracle Application Server 10.0.3 or up for better XA support, among other things. Again, you don't have to replace WebLogic with Oracle AS - you only need a single jar file from it and put it in your WebLogic's classpath. However, I don't know what this means from a licensing point of view if you ever go to production - do you have to pay the full price of OracleAS or OC4J just to use the aqapi.jar?
    In the coming days I will test the latest aqapi.jar to see how much progress Oracle has made in terms of making their J2EE products more spec-compliant :-).
    Hope the above gives you a different perspective.

  • Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

    I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
    easily? Would
    be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
    use of
    them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

    Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
    I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
    widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
    currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
    Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
    ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
    ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
    TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
    ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
    Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
    widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
    finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
    with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
    and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
    TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
    now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
    for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
    is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
    another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
    current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
    heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
    Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
    If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
    look at it more closely.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

    I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
    Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

    I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
    After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
    All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
    "they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

  • Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

    My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone.  The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference.  The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background.  We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet.  The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message.  The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
    We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan.  None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance.  I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
    I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2.  I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function:  making and receiving phone calls.  I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care.  I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
    Thank you.

    If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
    What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

    Hello
    I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
    control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
    control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
    well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
    need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
    the htmlText string?

    I have been using RTE in a content management system and
    found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
    UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
    problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
    standard characters.

  • Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

    problems with .ARW files and auto toning
    let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
    now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
    Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
    but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
    allow me to explain
    lets say I import 100 images
    i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
    as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
    i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
    for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
    one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
    to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
    how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
    i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
    but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
    now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
    any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
    there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
    second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
    thanks for the help

    sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
    i've disabled it now
    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
    its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
    but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
    because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
    so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
    its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
    what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

  • Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
    Computer Specs
    Windows XP SP3
    384MB of Ram (works really good)
    USB 1.1 connection
    Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
    IPOD Shuffle Specs
    2nd Generation
    1GB (964MB)
    Version 1.0.4
    unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.
