Softlinked directory is not refreshed in webserver?

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone encountered this problem that I am facing on WLS 6.1
sp4 (as well as sp2).
I have an application deployed as the default web application and within the
application directory I have a softlink that is pointing to another
directory elsewhere on the system.
For example,
/wls61/config/domain/applications/DefaultWebApp/downloads is softlinked to
/appl/downloads directory
During the running of the application, files will be created and placed
within this softlinked directory (/appl/downloads) and urls will be
generated to access these files.
However, when clicked on the generated url, the webserver returns a Page Not
Found error. But if the server is restarted, the same url will then work
(ie. it can access the file)
Not sure if this is a problem with some caching strategy on wls 6.1. If it
is, is there any workaround for it?
Thanks
Steven.

Hi Mark,
Apologize for the late reply in this.
On a summary, the reason we are using softlink is because of security.
In our environment, we have different teams managing the weblogic server and
the applications. In order to ensure that the team managing the application
does not get to the weblogic directory, the applications directory will have
to be created somewhere else other than the normal
<weblogic_root>/config/<domain>/applications directory.
a softlink is then created under
<weblogic_root>/config/<domain>/applications that points to the actual
physical location of the application files.
Coming back to the original issue, so does it mean that if we generated the
file and placed it into a softlinked directory that it will not be picked up
by the weblogic server?
There are plans to move to higher version of wls but that will not happen so
soon.
best rgds,
Steven.

We are doing stuff behind the scenes when you drop apps into the
applications directory. For example we unpack archives, and we copy files
(stage them) to not lock files (NT file system workarounds) so you can
refresh.
I guess I would back up and ask what are you trying to solve with your
softlink?
Also are you able to upgrade to 8.0?

JSP pages are not refreshing under wl 6.1 sp1

          I thought this could have been a problem solved long time ago but after searched
          through this list I could not find any solutin.
          Basically any change to the JSP is not refreshed on my wl server. Even after I
          set my browser to have 0 siye disk cache, 0 siye memory cache, and set the cache
          file name to something non-exists, the cached page kept coming back! It must have
          been cached by the web server. Deleting all the tmp files under WEB-INF did not
          work. Redeploy the web app did not work. Even after I restarted the server, it
          still sent me the old pages!!
          I must have missed something here???
          Many thanks and regards,
          Charles


Have a look at this page:
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////webapp/weblogic_xml.html#1012760
          The parameter "workingDir" is probably what you're looking for.
          Hope that helps,

Servlet does not refresh in browser

Hi,
If I change a Servlet code, re-compile it and Refresh the browser (Firefox), it does not refresh. I can only get it to refresh if I re-start Tomcat (v 5.5.4).
Is there a workaround for this please?
I put the lines:
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("max-age", 0);
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
at the top of my doGet method and this does not work.
Thanks,
Hal.

Hi,
For classes, you can set the reloadable parameter in your application configuration file (in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory)
Set it to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications. That's why the default setting for this attribute is false. You can use the Manager web application, however, to trigger reloads of deployed applications on demand.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
For JSPs, you can configure Jasper (in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml file) and use the reloading parameter.

Can not refresh server manager Error:0x8007045b

OS: Windows 2012 R2 Core
Services: Hyper V
I was trying to remote reboot and the session hung. No worries I decided I could just reboot the next morning. So I rebooted the next day but when I go into server manager I get
an errror can not refresh server manager Error:0x8007045b. Did some research found suggestions to fix it using a DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth.
But then I get an error 1115 A system Shutdown is in progress. I attempt to fix this issue using pskill winlogon but the issue pursistest. I have restarted the server several times now. Not sure how to fix this.
Thanks in advance,

Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
eg:
If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
address added because of business I describe above
Any ideas how I can implement this?
Appreciate that
Regards
Mohsen

Hi,
from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

Can not refresh the metrics in schedular

Post Author: sachinddalal
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
Hi,
When I refresh the metric using schedular, the metric is not refreshed , nor schedular return any error. But when checked in metrics proparties, the last refresh date is not changed, niether the values are updated.
Whe I try to refresh the metric manual, the values are refresh.
Please help me to troubleshoot the problem of refreshing metric through schedular.
Thanks,

Scheduler is pretty horrid for refreshing metrics.Better of to use the Rules engine and create a rule thats based on a schedule that based on condition (1=1 works well ) then refreshes metircs.troubleshooting is best done with the trace options in setup/parameters.there are a few other ways or seeing what the schedulers up to - but id stick to rules if i were you.

Dism - The directory could not be completely unmounted - process explorer can't find open processes and unmounting fails

Hi all,
Installed WAIK on server 2008 R2 64 bit. I'm setting up some boot images, and am having a real hard time getting drivers to integrate into the driver store in the boot images.
What I'm finding is that when adding drivers to the boot image the gui hangs part way through over 50% of the time using Dell 760 or HP NX9420 drivers extracted to pull out the inf files. It's really flakey and will work after a couple of attempts and when the wind is right.
The main problem is that when the process fails the image is left open, so using dism to list mounted images and then umount the open images is the only way to try again.
However, some images won't unmount and the unmount process displays the following:

Rebooting the server clears the lock, but it's really becoming a joke, as I can create a boot image with the drivers, but then going back into add another driver causes the gui to not respond.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted. - Matt.

Hi all,
had same problem unmounting the wim file using Windows 7 Pro 32bit.
My solution was: Checking for "wrong" Dism.exe
Preparing a WinPE I followed the steps in the help of AIK. I ran the
copype.cmd batch. When it was finished, it said that it added something
to the path environment variable. It was clear that it did so in order
to find the tools needed for the further steps. As long as everything
worked, I didn't give it a second thought. Then I could not unmount the
WIM.
I looked at the PATH variable: NO entry pointed to the directory where
dism.exe was in. (In my case that would have been
     c:\program files\windows aik\tools\x86\servicing
Magically, dism.exe started from everywhere though.
Doing a      dir c:\dism.exe /s /a     showed I had a Dism.exe in
c:\windows\system32, as well. This one has a file size different from
the correct one. Obviously I had started this one (because PATH points
there).
Starting the correct dism.exe let me unmount the WIM without problems.

Clicking a tree node does not refresh the fields in the table component

hi all,
I am using a tree component along with a table component in my page.so whenever i am clicking on a node it should display the relevant information of that node in the table from the database.But whenever i am doing the page is not refreshing and the old values of the textfields in the table still exist.i have written the code to populate the table in a button click event.It is working fine but the same is not working when i am clicking any node in the tree component.Can anyone provide a solution to this problem.
Thanks and regards,

Never mind... I actually found something that works...

Report Portlets do not refresh data.

How can I refresh a report portlet?
I have created a report and a forms provider based on the same table. I put the portlets on separate TABS on the same PAGE. The report works fine, but when I update the information on the form and return to the report it does not reflect the changes. I have pressed 'refresh', I have gone to another page and come back, no luck. The only way to see the changes is to log out and back in again. Any ideas?
Thanks, Deb

I had caching turned off. When I turned on both content and page definition, I was unable to query my forms. The forms and reports are on the same page, different tabs. When I select cache page definition only, I get the same results as no caching. The forms will query my data, I can update, but when I return to the reports TAB, the data has not changed. (Yes, I did click refresh.) I have found that if I click the 'Customize' link on the portlet containing the report and then click 'OK' the data will update. This, however gives me a new error that I will worry about later. For now, the users have 'Minimize' but do not have the 'Customize' Link and the 'minimize' link does not refresh the data, nor give me the new error.

Workbook not refresh after running Planning Function (BI-IP)

Hi! Folks,
I have a problem with the Bex Analyser which not refresh the data after running Planning Function.
Step 1: Run Planning Function (There are some changes in records)
Step 2: I have to Run Process Variables again and input the same selection in the pop-up variables
Step 3: The changed records will be shown...
Can I have some coding in the Layouts of Bex Analyzer to refresh the data after running Planning Function?
Brgds,
Supasake

Hi,
I had a similar problem that the resuls of my planning function were not automatically shown. Only if I did "something else" like saving or running another function the results were displayed.
I think I solved it by upgrading my SAP GUI6.4 with patch 14. the results of planning functions should be automatically displayed.

When I resume my laptop from sleep/hiberante, firefox is hung. It will prompt me with a dialog when I quit, so it is still running, but the page display is blank and will not refresh. I noticed this since about beta 7

Firefox is running when my laptop comes out of system standby, but the page that was displaying when the laptop went into sleep mode is now a white canvas that does not refresh.
The application is not hung, because I get prompted to save tabs when I quit, but for some reason, I can't prompt Firefox into refreshing the screen.
I'm running Firefox on a Thinkpad T400 which has Intel 4 series Express integrated Graphics.

This also happened if the network adapter is disabled then enabled. My computer is Windows 7 x64. Firefox needs to be killed from taskman before it will load a new instance of the application. I can also reproduce with all add-ons disabled.

Master-Detail Detail does not refresh after it's been empty

I have a master detail page (both are tables) that works just fine, until I click a master record that has no details.
After that the panelHeader of teh detail is refreshed with the PPT but the table underneath it is not, I keep seeing "no rows yet", no matter which master record I click.
When I go to a different page and return it's fine again.
Only one of my pages has this behavior, I tested this on another and it was fine. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
My console has this message:
May 11, 2007 10:52:38 AM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.model.binding.FacesCtrlRangeBinding$FacesModel getSelectedRow
WARNING: rowIterator is null
Message was edited by:
Wendy Tromp

Ok I found it,
My details iterator had the following properties:
<iterator id="AfdelingMedewerkersIterator" RangeSize="-1"
Binds="AfdelingMedewerkers"
DataControl="PRBAppModuleDataControl"
Refresh="IfNeeded" RefreshCondition="#{!adfFacesContext.postback}" />
I have no idea why I set it like that, but removing the Refresh properties fixed my problem.
I am still clueless as of why this led to the behavior as described above. I could have understood it if my iterator was not refreshed at all, but I have no idea why it stopped working only after the details were empty and not a second before...
Anyway, problem solved!

This code i used with Ruby on Rail to connect with MySQL.
When i used with FireFox browse after i create new user
success it refresh the new record in Datagrid. But for the Internet
Explorer Datagrid not refresh it because of it display the old
recode before create.
So i don't know it problem by Internet Explorer or my script.
i hope someone can help me the solve this problem.
thanks

If you restrict the selection, a record value outside of that selection is not acceptable and will give you this error. This is how BPS works.
You need to restrict on some other char so BASIC1 doesn't come in, but this value should be part of any selection on ZSEGMENT field for it to be accepted back.

Why??? Simple snapshot can not refresh automatically, but can refresh manually.

Thank you very much
Zhang Ming-an

When you are manually refreshing the snapshot as scott/tiger, and your database link was defined with a 'connect to/identified by ' clause, your login credentials will be scott/tiger. When the refresh happens from the job queue, it does not use those credentials, It uses some default set. What you should probably do is:

Database View do not refresh in ADF application

Greetings,
im facing a weird problem in my application (JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0 - ADF). All this time i was working directly with tables (VO), but now i also started using database views.
Everything works fine, when i add a new row in a table that my Database Views is associated with, it refresh properly.
BUT if i delete rows manually from my database, the View do not refresh in my application, not by refreshing the page,
redeploying application, even executing the view object query inside the view object. The only way for the DB View to be
refresh inside the JDeveloper and on deployment time is by restart JDeveloper. I try adding an action on my OV to re-execute them when
i do something specifically, hopefully the will reset the cache and retrieve the DB view again, but with no luck..
Correction: now it doesnt even refresh on restart jdeveloper.
Just for the clarification, im talking about Database Views, and not just Object Views. I create a Object View inside the application to retrieve the data
from the Database View results.
Can you help me on this please?

Yes the queries in SQLDeveloper was showing me correct results.
But i feel disappointed.. When i went to close SQLDeveloper to try something, it pop me a message to commit/rollback changes.
After i commit them, my app show correct results too.
