Session Management API
I'm looking for some way to query the weblogic container about servlet sessions
by id. I'd like to create a management program that is supplied a session id,
performs a lookup against WL session manager, and dumps the data in that session.
Is there such an API or interfaces? Any docs, examples, etc. in that direction
would be appreciated.
Such API is not provided since it would constitute a security
hole.

Under Excel Service Application --> session management; what is the difference between Session timeout and Short Session timeout?
Any call made from the API will automatically be set to the “Session Timeout” period, no matter
what. Calls made from EWA (Excel Web Access) will get the “Short Session Timeout” period assigned to it initially.

Session management in JAX-RCP with JWSDP 1.0_01
Hi all,
How can I access to the HTTP Session of the TOMCAT which run the Web Services engine?
Browsing by the API I've found the method getHttpSession() in the interface javax.xmlrpc.server.ServletEndpointContext.
How can get an instance which implements this interface?
Regards,
C�sar.An old thread but I have a question re session management and web services.
The documentation for ServletEndpointContext says getHttpSession returns null if there is no HTTP session currently active and associated with the service endpoint. It further says the endpoint class should not rely on the HTTP session always being there.
I need to ensure a session is active after a user successfully logs in. Other than spending alot of time implementing session management myself its the only way to tell whether the service requestor is allowed to use the service. Is the session not guaranteed to be active to take account of things like session timeout? Under normal circumstances where the user is sufficiently active to prevent timeout is it reasonable to assume the session will be there? -
Session management thru SOAP services
Hi I am trying to deploy our application in a clsutered environment. Previsouly
I had some problems with http session replication. That problems were solved but
now I have another problem.
Our application has multiple clients, some are browser based and some are swing
based that use our SOAP services.
all browser based clients use httpsession for session management, since weblogic
replicates the httpsession, we have no problem clustering http webapps. But SOAP
services has no access to httpsession.
We have implemented our own session management (we cache the app specific session
objects) so that SOAP services works fine (SOAP services doesn't have access to
httpsession, so we could not use httpsession for session management). Each method
in our soap services takes a sessionid and we get the session objects (not http
session objects but our app specific session objects) based on the sessionid.
But now that our application is clustered, the session cache mechanism doesn't
work since its not replicated thru out the clusters.
I thought I could use stateful session beans to cache the sessions, but how do
I cache the SFSB thru out the session w/o sending any references to the SFSB to
the client. I know I can send the Handle reference to the client but We cannot
change the SOAP API now. The only information client has is the session id.
My question is: How do I use SFSB w/o changing my soap services method paramaters.
My SOAP method looks like methodName(String sessionid, ..............)
I could use a clustered cache but we can't buy anything in the current situation.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, does the DSM log have any details? (see [Note 529924|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/529924] on how to view the logs)
My guess is that you are using different protocols between the dispatcher and a backend system: they both have to use HTTP or both use HTTPS (as described in the same note). That would also explain why the URL for the direct connection to the portal doesn't present the error, if that URL has the same protocol as the backend.

Setting secure on session management cookie only in production
I am faced with the following:
In our developmentcycle we deliver full application exports to an acceptation environment and after testing to a production environment.
However, only our production site does HTTPS. Development and acceptation only do HTTP.
In production we have to set the "secure"flag on the session management cookie.
We would like to set this flag in our deployment scripts.
So,
Is there an API we could use to set the "Secure" flag in the APEX metadata using SQL*Plus?hi
->Use request.getParameter(String s) to recieve the infomation from the html page into your servlet.for storing session specific info go for
session.setAttribute(vble,value;
hope it'll solve your problem. -
I have a requirement to prevent multiple sessions per user id. So, when a
user logs in to our app, any existing sessions he has must be invalidated.
Does anyone know the correct WebLogic API call to use to locate a session
object for a given user id? I need to call this so that I can invalidate the
existing session.
Thanks,
Rob.Hi Rob,
Using Servlet 2.3 features this can be done using the sessionCreated and
sessionDestroyed API (chapter 10 of the servlet 2.3 Spec). This Spec has been
implemented in WLS 61.
These methods are provided by the HttpSessionListener interface and they are
called by the container whenever a session is created or destryed as their name
suggests. These methods take in HttpSessionEvent as their parameter which can be
use to get a handle of the corresponding Session object. Once you get this
handle you can store it in a Hashtable with userID as the key.
You can use this Hashtable to verify if the session for a particular user
already exists or not. Once the session is invalidated, the sessionDestroyed
method will be called and this allows you to remove the session handle from the
Hashtable. The Hashtable thus, maintains a list of active sessions in an web
application.
A sample impl:
public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent evt){
sess = evt.getSession();
/* have code to populate the sesion Attributes */
log("\nsession created " + sess.getId() );
log("Session id: " + sess.getAttribute("userID") );
synchronized(this) {
h.put(sess.getAttribute("userID"), sess);
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent evt){
sess = evt.getSession();
log("\nsession destroyed: " + sess.getId() );
synchronized(this) {
h.remove(sess.getAttribute("userID"));
hope this helps,

OK. I posted the original message after speaking to BEA tech support. They
had told me there was an API for getting hold of the session. Now they tell
me there is not.
It looks like I have to implement this particular aspect of session
management myself.
It's a pretty simple task - provided you expect no more than a few hundred
users logged on at a particular time.
Anyone got any tips about how to implement this in scalable manner?
Thanks,
Rob.

Accessing the user management API programmatically
I am looking for the officially supported method that could be used to access the user management API via "curl" for CRX:
There is a user management API described here:
http://sling.apache.org/site/managing-users-and-groups-jackrabbitusermanager.html
However, executing a command on CRX 2.2 such as:
curl -u:admin:admin http://localhost:7402/system/userManager/user.tidy.1.json
Only returns a message indicating that the contents have been redirected (without providing another URL).
Using the Content Explorer in CRX shows the list of users at: /home/users but I am not sure if a curl command could access the user list via that URL.
Any pointers on how this could be done are appreciated. This is for a partner.
Regards,
BlairI am a co-worker of MorrellJ. I am trying to do a change password request using the Jackrabbit User Manager with the REST URL /system/userManager/user/<username>.changePassword.json. The problem I am having is that this request requires an oldPwd form param in the request. The issue is that when I am trying to do this request it is in response to the user selecting "Forgot Password" so our logic has created a random password which we then email to the user so they can use that the next time they want to login. We need to change that user's password in CRX so they can log in using it next time. Since they haven't logged in there is no session, NOT the problem. THE PROBLEMS, I don't know 1. how to use the userManager to get that user's old password, since /system/userManager/user/<username>.json doesn't appear to return the password and 2. if I could get the old password it most certainly will be encoded, some how, so I will need some decoding algorithm to pass it through in order to get the actual password to set as the oldPwd form param to my change password request. Please let me know if you require any further explanation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Sucena

JMStudio Error "Can not create session manager"
Hi,
I'm trying to transmit an mpg file through a simple pc to pc network, using the transmission wizard in the JMStudio, and everytime it causes a "can not create session manager" error, even when I try to transmit .mp3 file
I'm using an ip like 100.100.0.1 for the sender machine, and 100.100.0.2 for the receiver machine, and I don't know where is the problem
thanks in advanceUm,maybe the port that you use for transmission is already occupied.
Make sure that you are not using JMStudio to transmit streams while trying to receive streams from the same port. -
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.

What is new with MAX 2.0 and is it compatible with Session Manager?
We added non-IVI instrument information in, basically the same structure as for IVI instruments,
into the ivi.ini file to keep all instrument information in the same place. Using MAX Version 1.1 caused no problems whatsoever and the system worked fine. With the advent of MAX 2.0 you seem to use ivi.ini as well as config.mxs to store instrument information. What we have found now is that given a working ivi.ini file from MAX 1.1, we end up with 2 or 3 copies of all the devices in the IVI Instruments->Devices section! When the duplicate entries are deleted and the application exited, the
ivi.ini file is updated minus the [Hardware->] sections which contain the resource descriptors that our appl
ications look for. As an added complication, under MAX 2.1 (From an evaluation of the Switch Executive) It behaves the same, except that it almost always crashes with one of the following errors. 'OLEChannelWnd Fatal Error', or 'Error#26 window.cpp line 10028 Labview Version 6.0.2' Once opened and closed MAX 2.1 will not open again! (Note we do not have LabVIEW on the system.) What is the relationship between the config.mxs and ivi.ini now? Also, your Session Manager application (for use with TestStand) extracts information from ivi.ini and may expect entries to be manually entered into ivi.ini (e.g. NISessionManager_Reset = True) i.e. Is the TestStand Session Manager compatible with MAX 2.0?Brian,
The primary difference between MAX 1.1 and 2.x is that there is a new internal architecture. MAX 2.x synchronizes data between the config.mxs and the ivi.ini. The reason you're having trouble is that user-editing of the ivi.ini file is not supported with MAX 2.x.
Some better solutions to accomplish what you want:
1. Do as Mark Ireton suggested in his answer
2. Use the IVI Run-Time Configuration functions. They will allow you to dynamically configure your Logical Names, Virtual Instruments, Instrument Drivers, and Devices. You can then use your own format for storing and retrieving that information, and use the relevant pieces for each execution. You can find information on these functions in the IVI CVI Help file located in Start >> National I
nstruments >> IVI Driver Toolset folder. Go to the chapter on Run-time Initialization Configuration.
I strongly suggest #2, because those functions will continue to be supported in the future, while other mechanisms may not be.

Session management problems with SSO
Hi all-
I've been getting an Apex app tied to SSO as a partner app (per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). So far, it sort of works. If I go to my apex app, it redirects me to SSO, where I authenticate and end up back in the apex app. Great. Here are two problems I've run into:
1. If I am already authenticated to SSO, and I go to my apex app (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1), my browser goes into an infinite redirect (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:::::FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL:\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\). To resolve, I have to clear cookies.
2. If I am using my apex app, then log out of SSO (in another browser window), I can still click around in my apex app (i.e., apex thinks I'm still authenticated).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm wondering if I need to do something in page session management (under authentication schemes) to fix #2, but I have no clue about #1.
Thanks
RobHi Scott-
Thanks for the info on #2 - I'll work on that after I get #1 sorted out, since it's the more dire problem. Here's some more info:
Apex version = 3.0.1.00.08
SSO SDK = ssosdk902.zip
I set it up as "My Application as Partner App." I used "MY_PARTNER_NAME" as SSO Partner Application Name. In the list of SSO Partner Apps on the SSO Admin page, my partner app name is also MY_PARTNER_NAME. It gives the following info:
Login URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
Single Sign-Off URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout
Home URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
Success URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex/RBLICK.YOUR_PACKAGE.PROCESS_SUCCESS
Logout URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
RBLICK is the schema owning the apex app. In there, I created a package called YOUR_PACKAGE:
create package YOUR_PACKAGE as
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2);
end YOUR_PACKAGE;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY YOUR_PACKAGE AS
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2) as
begin
wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.process_success(
urlc=>urlc,
p_partner_app_name=>'MY_PARTNER_NAME');
end process_success;
END YOUR_PACKAGE;
Anything look obviously wrong to you?
Thanks!

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.

Firefox remembers history but doesn't remember closed tabs, sessions.
It happened after updating Fox to v. 19.0.2 on one computer.
In Firefox Options is set Use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except Always Use Private Browsing Mode. So I am not in private browsing.
When I press on Undo Closed Button nothing happens & in session manager Save Session Button is greyed out. I've tried installing other add-ons that can remember tabs. tried to disable/reinstall these 2 add-ons. Did't help. On my 2nd computer I have same add-ons, same settings and they are working normally. on 3rd computer undo closed tabs works also. How to fix this? I decided to ask before doing Firefox Reset...
Sync is a separate problem. It works, but quite often it logs me out of Sync account. Then I can log in only using long recovery key and password (choosing option I don't have device with me because it does not accept keys for pairing device.)
Thanks for reading.I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(
