SOAP handlers and deploy tool on J2EE1.4

Hi,
How do I associate a SOAP message handler for a JAX-RPC webservice using the deploy tool that comes with J2EE1.4 RI?
Do I have to use something else to do that?
Thanks,
Chandresh

Set up a web service endpoint in deploytool. Select it in tree view in deploytool. On the Endpoint tab, click Handlers.

Hi,
Would be more helpful if you can mention, the O/S. Also, pls mention where
you are getting this error, at kjs or kxs, or, are you able to start the server
and at which specific instance do you encounter this.

Okay, pls check that you are logged in as administrator and installed and now you are logged in as administrator and registering the iAS server. Did you get any installation failures while installing and are you able to register the server using iASAT ?

SOAP handlers and the WebLogic Security Provider Framework

I am new to WebLogic... I am trying to understand the Weblogic security framework in terms of how a SOAP message would be processed. Do SOAP handlers get called before the configured security providers? after being processed by the Authentication provider? after being processed by the Authorization provider? or at some other point?

Thanks. But I have some questions about the seed:
- where is it stored?
- how is it encrypted?
- is the seed regenerated periodically? or under certain circumstances?

Hi Janice,
If you choose to use the PrincipalValidatorImpl class in the
weblogic.security.provider package, the sign() implementation
will be the internal weblogic implementation. This implementation
generates a random seed and computes a digest based on the
random seed. I hope that helps you.

Starting up j2ee and EJB deployment tool on Windows 98

I will start off this question with an apology if it is too stupid,
basic, or placed in the wrong group. I am relatively new to the world
of Java and even newer to the world of Server-side Java and EJBs.
However, I am plugging away.
I am using my trusty 4 year old system with Windows 98 second edition
to dabble with Server-side Java and EJB applications. I am using
Tomcat 4.0 as my server. When I try and start the j2ee server or the

You're going to have a lot of pain unless you upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP.
In the mean time, set your environment size much larger (google for "Out of
environment space") and use WinOne from http://www.cia.com.au/luke/ ...
that's how I scraped by on Windows 98 for a while.

Using Sun Appserver 7 deploy tool to package 2 ejbs and their clients

I have a question on how to package two beans into one distributable jar file and also provide the two associated test clients - each in its own jar file. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. This is what I'm trying to do:
I am using the deploy tool that is packaged with Sun One Application Server 8.2. I currently have two stateless session beans deployed to a J2EE 1.4 Sun One Application Server and a test application client for each bean. For each bean, I created a j2ee application (ear) file and packaged the EJB JAR file containing the bean's classes and deployment descriptor, and an application client. I followed the steps as outlined in Sun�s ConverterApp example in their j2ee tutorial. (The example is from chapter 24 in the j2eetutorial14 � example ejb/converter) Upon deploying, the tool returns a client jar file that you can then use to call the bean. I have been able to successfully execute both beans in this manner.
Now, for distribution, I need to package both of the beans in one jar file and also provide a separate jar file for each test client, but I don�t see how to use the deploy utility to do this. Can anyone suggest what would be the best (fastest) way to do this? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

The code and ejb-jar.xml look ok to me. Try checking the server.log to see if there were any deployment errors.
What exact class is the lookup code from your note defined in, com.sun.some.someEJB?

What is the correct way to use Version Information from the sequence and from the deployment tool

I seem to be missing something in how the various version numbers are supposed to be used. My end goal is to log and possibly display in the UI the version of the sequence and which installer version was used to inspect a UUT. I have gotten most of the way there using:
How Can I Programmatically Query the Sequence File Version of My TestStand Sequence?
and logging this into the report with a function which contains:
Parameters.UUT.AdditionalData.SetValString("Test Version",1,RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Version),
Parameters.UUT.AdditionalData.SetFlags("",0,PropFlags_IncludeInReport)
The "Deployment Version" in the TestStand Deployment Utility auto incrementing the 3rd position of a version number while the sequence auto increment is working on the 4th.
My first question is are these 2 version numbers in anyway supposed to be related to each other? As it seems to me you would want those 2 reversed, I can make several installers based on sequence version X, making changes to what supporting files are also installed.
If they are not related as I suspect that they are not. How do I programatically grabed the installer version and also log that into the result report?
is there an option to perform a custom deployment build step to log the deployment version before it builds and then reference that log at runtime of the test?

Hi,
The sequence file version and deployment versions are not related.
You can build the installer with whatever version you want using the command line :

Problem deploying web service with the deploy tool (J2EE)

Hello,
I am trying to deploy a sample Web Service on the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q1.
I run into a deployment problem ("jaxrpc compilation exception") when I have one of the web methods declared (in the endpoint interface) to throw a service-specific exception. The problem disappears when I change the declaration to throw an Exception.
Here is the exception class:
public class StockNotFoundException extends Exception {
private String message;
public StockNotFoundException(String message) {
super(message);
this.message = message;
public String getMessage() {
return message;
the endpoint interface:
public interface StockServiceIF extends Remote {
// the service methods
public boolean sellStocks(String ticker, int quantity)
throws RemoteException, StockNotFoundException;
and here are the error messages I am seeing:
in the deploy tool dialog:

Need to get SOAP request and SOAP response message.

Hi All,
I need to know that how can I get the SOAP request and SOAP response message. Now I am using WSDL2Java tool from Axis to generate the stub classes (such as ServiceLocator, SoapBindingStub, and soapPort ) and applying the classes to make the SOAP request. I have seen the solution for getting the SOAP request with Dynamic invocation interface (DII) style (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-soap-user/200310.mbox/%[email protected]%3e), but not Static stub like what I did. Could anyone suggest me how to do it please ( I can't run tcpcom on the linux server, because x-window is not allowed to install ). Thank you for any help in advance.

You can try writing a client-side handler.
Handler gets called before the actual request is sent, and you can get the SOAP
message in it.
You have to deploy the handler in client-config.wsdd.
Handler is just like Servlet Filter.
I think there might be a simpler solution, but I dont know.

The future of Snapshot, and similar tools.

My apologies for posting this twice. I posted it first as a follow up
to an old thread in ...
novell.support.zenworks.desktop-management.6x.install-setup
I am quoting some comments made in that forum.
Then after surfing the forums for awhile, I thought the issue might get
more attention, if I posted it here. I am looking for ideas and advice
on the future of snap shot, and any tools that Novell might provide to
replace it.
If I could address some of these comments, in hopes of better
understanding ...
RE: >>>

Admin Studio is not cheap. After a client has spend thousands of
dollars to implement ZENWorks, now I have to tell them to drop another
couple thousand down for an application packager. I also don't fully
understand Novell's relationship with the product, they don't seem to be
partnering well together, I'd appreciate anyone else's read on this
relationship.
RE: >>
> Novell has for over 5 years now been trying to steer people from
> Snapshot
I've heard that statement made verbally by many engineers, but I don't
always see the practice following that.
Has Novell ever gone on record to state they will no longer support snap
shot???
RE: >> > If your snapshots are failing with the latest versions of
snapshot, then
> most likely your software package falls outside the scope of what
> snapshot should be trying to handle.
Maybe I've just gotten lucky? I've have not had many issues with using
snapshot, and I have been involved in a wide variety of applications.
I have seen the statement made on the forum that ZEN Works is not really
a "Packaging" suite. While that may be a true statement, because
Snapshot has been packaged with the product for so long, the mind set of
customers is that it is expected to work, and be supported.
I look forward to additional comments on this matter.

Tom,
I'm not sure what exactly are you searching for? ZdM is already providing
you with snapshot replacement - AdminStudio ZfD edition, included in ZfD
price.
AdminStudio part for preparing snapshot MSI is identical in ZfD and
Professional edition.
All comments you qouted (including this one) are personal opinions - I
suggest you to try AdminStudio ZfD edition and make your own.

VS 2010 Pro "Other Project Types" / "Setup and Deployment": No items found

Hello,
I have VS 2010 Pro Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel. I have developed a VB.Net application and would like to deploy it. When I try to add a setup project to the solution, I get "No items found" where a list of project types should be in the "Add New Project"
dialog, "Installed Templates", "Other Project Types", "Setup and Deployment". Shouldn't the Pro version have those templates installed? If so, can I copy them from somewhere? I noticed that "Database" and "Test Projects" also have empty lists. There are lots
of templates available for the various languages.
I tried to modify the VS 2010 installation by adding support for SharePoint, but that did not help. Do I have to uninstall, reboot, and re-install? It's so cumbersome considering that I would need to redo the updates as well.
OS is Win 7 Pro, processor is Intel E8400.
Thanks!

Hi robertrackl,
Thanks for your post.
The Setup Project template is located in: Installed Templates >> Other Project Types >> Setup and Deployment >> Visual Studio Installer. Would you please check if the templates exists in this path?
If not, you can follow the steps below to reset your Visual Studio templates:
Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE
(by default is C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE);
Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache
folder;
Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) under Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools (run it with Administrator privilege: right-click the program -> Run as administrator);
Run the devenv /InstallVSTemplates switch;
Run the devenv /Setup switch.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Office 2013 deployment tool Invalid product ID error

Hi,
Im in the process of virtualizing apps like Office 2013 with App-V.
Downloading the binaries with the Office Deployment tool and converting to app-v package is very easy, I've followed this kb
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
But now I want to sequence add-ins for Office 2013. So I need a local install of Office 2013 click to run.
Im trying to use the command line option setup.exe /configure <path to config.xml> but everytime I try this I receive this error:
Invalid product ProPlusVolume specified. Error configuring products
I have tried several different ProductID's like ProPlusVolume and StandardVolume. None of the volume ID's seem to work. When I changed the ID to ProPlusRetail, the setup worked flawless. But I need to install the Volume version for my RDS server...
I have found other people in the comment section in this blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/03/3615124.aspx
(read the comments in the bottom section) But no solution..?

It's my understanding that you don't use the "/configure" parameter when using the "Volume" options.
Jeremy refers to this in the comments/responses.
In the main blog article, he refers to "You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure...."
This does not mean that you should use the "/configure" parameter - that is only used for C2R.

use O365ProPlusRetail.
   The configuration documentation here discusses only Office 365: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426%28v=office.15%29.aspx
   But it links to this page, which lists product IDs, but no description (thank you not very much!): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297/en-us
   There's a "ProfessionalRetail" there; elsewhere I've seen a "ProPlusRetail" which isn't listed there, and I'm hoping that if I get the right Product ID I can get this cantankerous update process to work!
   Thanks much,
       Rob

Hi,
Microsoft have used some rather confusing product marketing terms, which makes it hard to get clear, and also to be clear, when it comes to this release of Office :(
Office 2013ProfessionalPlus - installation uses the classic setup.exe + MSI engine. Can be updated via WSUS.
Office365ProPlus - installation uses the new ODT, and results in C2R virtualized "installation". Can't be updated via WSUS.
So, if you're using the ODT, then you're not using Office2013ProfessionalPlus..
Reference for the Product element:

Reference including Retail Product elements:

NB: the update process will probably be cantankerous even after you get it working ;)
