Sun App Server 9.0_01 (build b14) Deployment (undeploy) problems

Hi all,
I apologize for this long post but I want to provide as much info as possible. Also, I am not sure this is the right place for this posting. I will appreciate it if anyone could direct me to a better place.
I have this ongoing problem deploying my application. The app server is unable to completely delete the previously deployed files. It goes into a series of timeout loops saying it is running the gc to try and free up resources. The files that can't be deleted are all in the web application's lib folder. I tried deleting them manually while waiting for the app server timeout loop and indeed each one is busy and can't be deleted. None of the files here are my code. The files are all in the folder:
domain1\applications\j2ee-apps\TS5529\U04A1_war\WEB-INF\lib
and the files are: appbase.jar, commons-fileupload.jar, dataprovider.jar, errorhandler.jar, jsfcl.jar, json2.jar, rowset.jar, sqlx.jar, webui-jsf.jar, webui-jsf-suntheme.jar
I have made sure destroy() method in my SessionBean nulls out any resources used, even variables containing injected EJBs but the problem remains.
The application is a NetBeans Enterprise application with a couple of Session Beans, Entity classes and Entity Facades. The presentation is JSF with Visual Web Pack and consists of two simple pages. The SessionBean holds a reference to a Stateful Bean and 4 variables each containing a custom ListDataProvider for JSF tables data binding. The SessionBean destroy method sets all of these variables to null.
The first page backing bean does most of the work. It accesses the SFSB and DataProviders through the SessionBean. This page includes four EJB injections like this:
@EJB AuthorFacadeLocal af;
@EJB PublisherFacadeLocal pf;
@EJB SearchDBLocal sDB;
@EJB TitleFacadeLocal tf;
and a variable holding an empty, unmanaged Entity object. I tried setting all of these to null in the page's destroy() method, which I don;t think I need to do.
Is there a problem with these injections in the page's backing bean?? I've been at this for about a week, trying various ways to make sure resources are freed but the problem still there. The only solution is to stop the app server and then deploy. Needless to say, it is a pain having to stop the app server every time I need to deploy.
Hope someone has seen this and can help, thanks in advance.

Deployed webservices is not compatible on sun app server 9

I build my webservices in automated form provided by excelent wizards of jdev.
I was not changed any name, and let all default descriptors generated to after I try to run it, and it run perfectly on oc4j, who is compatible with j2ee specification....
But when I deploy it on Sun App Server 9(stable), the follow error is throwed
"Invalid url pattern" like my screenshot: http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/4673/errojf1.gif
I have tried to replace this url, but without sucess to run my web services. Someone with more experience can help me?
I need to run it on SunAppServer.
Thanks all

You probably need to add the Sun specific deployment descriptor files to your WAR.
JDeveloper doesn't have a utility to do that automatically for Sun.

Deploying a WAR file to Sun App Server 8.1 PE

So I thought that if I downloaded Sun App Server PE 8.1 and put it on my soon-to-be production machine, it should be pretty easy right?
Nope. So I have JSC update 6 (which includes Sun Application Server 8.0) (God how I wish there was a catchy name like Tomcat or something)
And I have a machine running a good copy, installed and everything, of Sun Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition (another catchy name) up on the production target.
I create a WAR file in JSC, scp it up.
Then try to deploy it - so I get bit by the no DB connection thing.
Ok, but when I copy each of my connection's attributes (the driver (which I did copy up to the lib directory) is MySQL's Connector/J)
I copy the username, password, URL and DriverClass attributes to the connection pool.
I still get a
"Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Class name is wrong or classpath is not set for : com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter"
when I try to Ping the ConnectionPool
I have javax.sql.DataSource as the resource type... (same as 8.0 uses)
what JAR file is DriverAdapter in? anyone know?
cheers,
Kris

Okay. mysql folks - this works......
here's what happened, on the production server, different from the dev machine....
mysql 4.1.9
sun application server platform edition PE 8.1
connector/j - latest
and on the dev machine: JSC Update 6 and the app works fine on the dev machine.
first, there is a JAR file in ~whatever/Create/SunAppServer/lib/ named
driveradaptor.jar
and it it comtains
com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter
which 8.1 ain't got
and should be copied up to
/installdir/SunAppServer/domains/domain1/lib/ext/driveradapter.jar
(domain1 is your app svr domain that runs your app.)
your Connector/J JAR needs to go here too. I used:
mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin.jar
downloaded from mysql.com.
and then there is the whole thing about Added Properties in the Connection Pool page inside the 8.1 Admin Console (which is nice work guys). Gawd, I added a bunch of properties and am, frankly, not sure which ones actually work (for the Ping, for the initial connection creation and the eventual successful connection all seem to use different combinations...)
and I found this in the domain's domain.xml once all the admin console page filling was done - but you'll need to add each one as a Property in the connection pool:
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter" fail-all-connections="false" [blah...]
<property name="Username" value="root"/>
<property name="Password" value="secret"/>
<property name="ValidationQuery" value="SELECT 1"/>
<property name="DriverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="LoginTimeout" value="0"/>
<property name="Url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename?autoReconnect=true"/>
<property name="User" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="secret"/>
<property name="PasswordCredential" value="secret"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
(and you see how User and Username and username are all the same thing? well, different parts of 8.1 seem to use different attributes...)
Just keep Adding Properties in the connection pool until you get them all....
Oh and, the two key class references for the pool are:
datasource class: com.sun.sql.datasource.DriverAdapter
resource type: javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource
Finally: in the /installdir/SunAppServer/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/YourAppName/WEB-INF/
your 'sun-web.xml' (don't delete it, like some have advocated, I think that wrong) needs to look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 Servlet 2.4//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_4-1.dtd">
<sun-web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">
<context-root>/yourcontext</context-root>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/Yourname</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>jdbc/Yourname</jndi-name>
<default-resource-principal>
<name>root</name>
<password>secret</password>
</default-resource-principal>
</resource-ref>
</sun-web-app>
and I think that's all of it. the only Bug I would I would say is that the sun-web.xml should have the right res-ref-name, but then I think the Creator Team knows this and will fix it sometime soon.

Integrating Sun App Server with WebSphere MQ

Hi,
I am using Sun App server V8.1 . I also have a websphere MQ v5.3 installed in my system. I want to integrate this MQ with the App server.
I created a queueManager and a Queue in MQ and using the JMSAdmin console of the Mq, i created jndi lookup resources using INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
In the application server side, i created a Resource adapter using the command:
create-resource-adapter-config --property SupportsXA=true:ProviderIntegrationMode=jndi:RMPolicy=OnePerPhysicalConnection:JndiProperties=java.naming.factory.url.pkgs\\=com.ibm.mq.jms.naming,java.naming.factory.initial\\=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory,java.naming.provider.url\\=file\\:D\\:\\MQ:LogLevel=finest mqra
Then i deployed this resource adaptor using the command :
deploy name mqra target server "D:\Sun\AppServer\lib\addons\resourceadapters\genericjmsra\genericra.rar"
Using this resource adapter i created a connection pool, connector resource and an admin object using the commands
create-connector-connection-pool raname mqra connectiondefinition javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory transactionsupport XATransaction property ConnectionFactoryJndiName=MQQCF mymqpool
create-connector-resource --poolname mymqpool jms/MyMqQCF
create-admin-object raname mqra restype javax.jms.Queue --property DestinationJndiName=RTQueue jms/MyMqQueue
After that, i wrote a java code to lookup these resources and put a message into the queue.
This is the snippet of my java code
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
QueueConnectionFactory cnxFact = (QueueConnectionFactory)ic.lookup("jms/MyMqQCF");
Queue qu = (Queue)ic.lookup("jms/MyMqQueue");
try {
QueueConnection qConn = cnxFact.createQueueConnection();
QueueSession qSess = qConn.createQueueSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
QueueSender qSend = qSess.createSender(qu);
TextMessage msg = qSess.createTextMessage();
msg.setText("1");
qSend.send(msg);
qConn.close();
I am getting an exception in the line, QueueConnection qConn = cnxFact.createQueueConnection();
here is the stack trace

Can anybody help???

update:
So to avoid this problem I added spring.jar to the server classpath. that got rid of this message but then it started complaining that its missing struts2 core jar..i added that in server classpath as well...I did same for 4 other files and in the end it said 'bean for xwork has already been initialized' (because all these jars are in the application as well).
So I am stuck. if I add all jars to server classpath..it says beans have already been initialized. If I take out the jars from server classpath then it says that stuff is missing (eg. contextLoader.properties missing - orig post)
again, all this goes away when I restart the server..so i am just trying to avoid having to restart server every code change.

Can JSC support Sun App Server 9?

Does anyone know if JSC can support sun app server 9?
Last I heard was that 8.2 is the max version.
Along the same line, is there any word of another update to JSC
that will work with app server 9 and jdk 6???

Hi!
Actually You can deploy your application to Sun App Server 9.0, but probably not all features will work. But now You can download NetBeans 5.5 and Visual Web Pack for it (it's a next step of Creator's evolution) and this IDE supports GlassFish (opensourced Sun App Server 9.0).
Thanks,

"Message Driven Bean" doesn't work with Sun App Server

Hello all,
i have a little bit problems, running a simple "Message Driven Bean" under the Sun App Server. The deployment of it works fine, but after starting the SUN App Server i get the following error message:
An error occurred during the message-driven beancontainer initialization at runtime. The most common cause for this is that the physical resource(e.g. Queue) from which the message-driven bean is consuming either does not exist or has been configured incorrectly. Another common error is that the message-driven bean implementation class does not correctly implement the required javax.ejb.MessageBean or MessageListener interfaces.
Has anybody a workaround for this problem?
The queue seems to be correctly installed. A simple client programm from the Sun Tutorial (Consumer & Producer) works fine without any Errors or Exceptions.
I am a little bit confused, because the queue seems to work with the client programms but not with a MDB running on the SUN App Server.
Thanks for you help!
Greetings
Manuel

Hello Mr Manuel!
could you plz help me with the steps for creating a message driven bean using netbeans ver 5.0(with Sun Java� System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 )
I just know how to work with Session beans & Entity Bean, and am try to learn to work on Message Driven Beans too. there are no proper tutorials where i can find steps for creating these..
I need the steps from the scratch.,like creating QueueConnection Factory & Destination etc..
It will be gr8 if you can help me with this at the earliest .
Thank you
Bye

Can I run Servlets in the Sun App Server?

I am trying to run a servlet. I am not sure if I can run the same using the Sun app server. any help to clarify the following queries would be appreciated.
1. Should I have to specify a path in the environmental variables?
2. Is there a web site that tells me the same with respect to running the servlet on a Sun app server.
Thanks in advance.
--Srikanta

I'm not sure what you want in regards to question, but I can assure you that you can run servlets in S1AS7. My recommendation is to just package your servlet into a web archive (war) and deploy it. You can deploy it via the commandline (asadmin) or the web based administrative client (likely http://localhost:4848). For more information on this I suggest reading:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-7150-10/index.html
You must likely want to read the section on assembling and deploying web applications.

Problem : App works with Sun App server 8.0 but fails with 8.1

Hi All
     I am experiencing some strange problem with executing my JSF application with Sun App Server.
     I have an EAR deployed on Sun Application Server 8.0 and 8.1.
     Strangely it works quite fine with 8.0 but fails with 8.1.
     In my JSP page ..I have a dummy component whose getter method is used as a "FormLoad" event of the page.
     <h:form id="imageForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <h:messages showDetail="true" />
     <table width="980" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A9B8C2">
          <tr>
<td>
               <h:inputHidden value="#{Screen1.initializeService}"/>
          <h:selectOneListbox styleClass="style2" id="cmbMiddleArea" immediate="true" value="#{Screen1.selectedMiddleArea}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{Screen1.middleAreaList}" />
     </h:selectOneListbox>
     In my backing bean i have ..
     public String getInitializeService() {
          ..... Retrieve all the data from DB to initialize all the components on the JSP page
          .......setMiddleAreaList......
          .......setSelectedMiddleArea.....
          ........set the values of the individal component...
     I am retrieving all the data from DB in this getter method and intializing the components on the JSP page.
     I have also checked the code generated for JSP by both the servers.I am posting the code here for reference although
     i did not find any significant difference between the two...
     For Server 8.0

     return true;
     jspxtagPool_h_inputHidden_value_nobody.reuse(_jspx_th_h_inputHidden_0);
     return false;
     Now the actual problem is "getInitializeService" method never gets called when i deploy and run the application on Sun App Server8.1
     However with Sun App Server 8.0 it woeks perfectly fine.
     Can anybody help me in resolving these issues ?

JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI on Sun App Server 8.1

I'm trying to deploy a JAX-WS 2.1.1 web service on Sun App Server 8.1 and I keep getting these "no such method" exceptions thrown:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory.newInstance(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/xml/soap/MessageFactory;
I've found the javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory class in j2ee.jar packaged with Sun App Server 8.1, which indeed does not have that method. And I've also found javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory in saaj-api.jar that came with the JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI distribution, which does have that method.
Is there some way to get JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI to play nice in Sun App Server 8.1?

If possible specify saaj-api.jar before j2ee.jar on your runtime classpath.
I am not familiar with Sun App Server 8.1. I had to patch domain classpath to resolve similar issues on weblogic. Also, there may be some configuration options to specify which jars get loaded first.

What does the Sun App Server Use as a web container?

Does the Sun App Server use tomcat? Or is it some derivative of Tomcat?
thanks for the info.

Thanks.
Just to clarify for any others who are interested, heres the deal:
1) Package the static HTML files using the 'deploytool' (See Packaging Web Modules in Chapter 3 of The J2EE(TM) 1.4 Tutorial). This creates a .war file with the required deployment descriptors(?); anyway it creates a bunch of .xml files that have the right data in them.
2) Take the .war file and drop it in the 'quick deploy' icon (copies the .war file to the 'autodeploy' directory for the App Server instance).
Anyhow thats the drill.
Good luck.

Connecting to EJ bean in Sun App Server 8

I am working my way through the j2eetutorial14, and have successfully built the Converter app. However, I need to run the stand-alone client, connecting to the bean, in a server-independent way. So, as part of my exercise, I copied the client code in Eclipse, and made the following changes to the code:
from the original example:
Context initial = new InitialContext();
Context myEnv = (Context) initial.lookup("java:comp/env");
Object objref = myEnv.lookup("ejb/SimpleConverter");
ConverterHome home = (ConverterHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, ConverterHome.class);to this:
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "corbaloc:iiop:localhost:3700");
Context initial = new InitialContext(properties);
Object objref = initial.lookup("ConverterBean");
ConverterHome home = (ConverterHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, ConverterHome.class);Now I am getting this exception in the narrow() method:
java.lang.ClassCastException
     at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:293)
     at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:134)
     at ConverterClient.main(ConverterClient.java:27)When I run the client from the script:
appclient -client ConverterAppClient.jarit works as expected. I am obviously missing something in my Eclipse runtime environment, but the manual was of no help so far. (But j2ee.jar library from C:\Sun\AppServer\lib is in the classpath.)
If anyone successfully connected to the Sun App Server 8 EJB from a stand-alone client and can share their wisdom, I will appreciate it.
On a more general note, what are the pitfalls to watch for when writing, packaging and distributing an EJB app (bean and stand-alone client) in a server-independent way? Any pointers?
Thanks for any help.
Alex.

Did you have the EJB client JAR in your classpath? Yes, and I spent all day searching the Forums for the clues. I found the answer, and was going to post it here. The client JAR was missing the RMI stubs. The process of generating the stubs is quite cumbersome - at least, the one that I discovered. It involves deploying the EAR first, then going to the Admin Console and manually setting a number of options, then collecting the sought-for JAR from the Sun App Server's applications directory. The generated file will contain the stubs, and also the Home and Remote interface files, as well as the bean class (something that the client will never need). So, I may have to write a script to strip off the needless baggage from the client JAR.
I have been working with JBoss and its plugin for Eclipse for some time now, and grew spoiled by the ease of deployment there, including the fact that the JBoss/Eclipse combo took care of the RMI stubs and many other things that Sun's server exposes to the developer.
Anyway, here is my cookbook that I made as I was working through the process of generating the stubs:
====================================
Creating a stand-alone Client:
The stand-alone client need RMI stubs to communicate with the EJ bean on the server side. To create the stubs:
1. Start the Admin Console web page (Start > All Programs > Sun Microsystems > Application Server PE > Admin Console). In the left-hand frame select: Applications > Enterprise Applications.
2 In the right-hand frame, press Deploy button.
3 Select file to upoad (navigate to the application EAR). Press Next.
4. Set Application Name field (it should be preset), and check the Generate: RMIStubs checkbox. If this procedure was done before, check the Redeploy box to force generation of the file.
5. Press OK button.
The JAR file with stubs will be placed into C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\applications\j2ee-apps directory.
The stubs have format _name_Stub.class and _nameHome_Stub.class (e.g. for Converter app the files are ConverterStub.class and ConverterHomeStub.class). These files must be extracted and placed into the client's classpath. Alternatively, the entire JAR file can be made part of the client's classpath.
====================================
Thank you for the quick reply.

Different behavior using JSC and Sun App server 8.2 - why?

I have developed a JSF application using Java Studio Creator 2.
JSC2 uses Sun App Server 8.2 as the development application server.
I also have Sun App Server 8.2 on a server that is used for deployment.
When I run an application within the IDE, I get a set of behavior that I expect to see, but not when deployewd to the server.
In particular, in one case, a grid created within a session bean is redrawn when running in the IDE but not when deployed.
In another case, I attempt to read the value of the grid text field.
In the IDE, I get a properly set 'submittedValue' property, but in the deployed environment, it is null.
Why am I seeing differences in behavior between the two environments?
How can I get the deployed version to work tge same as in the development enviroment.

I am sorry but I don't understand. Which path specifically do you mean?
dear mr/mises
you have to change your path with net beans with8.2
you will be solving your problems

Running Sun App Server 7 and 8 on the same box

Hello,
Are there any known issues with running Sun App Server 7 and 8 in the same host box ? Currently I am encountering some class not found exceptions with Sun App Server 8 . Sun App Server 7 runs just fine.
Thanks,
Aswin.

It's not advisable to run separate installations of
ColdFusion 7 and ColdFusion 8 single server on the same machine the
re are several services that will try to use the same ports.
However, you can install ColdFusion Enterprise using the
multi-server configuration and then deploy the J2EE versions of
ColdFusion to JRun. You can change the JVM that each instance uses
(we recommend the latest 1.4 for CF7 and the latest 1.6 for CF8),
and everything should run fine.
ColdFusion itself is essentially just a J2EE application, the
J2EE server itself is JRun 4. So the specific answer to your
question is "don't install 2 copies of JRun 4 to the same machine".
But yes, it's 100% possible, I'm running this configuration in my
own development environment.

Unable to Register Sun App Server 9 in Netbeans 5.5

Hi,
I used to work on netbeans 5.5 and bundled sun app server 9. Everything was going fine. Today in the middle of a deployment in app server through netbeans, my system got hanged. So I killed the java.exe process.
Now when I again attempted to open netbeans it showed me an error that some modules in sun app server could not be found and so sun app server could not be loaded. I tried registering sun app server again in netbeans but the server name was not even coming in the drop down list of app servers.
Impatiently I uninstalled the bundled app server + netbeans through the uninstaller, and again installed the server and netbeans in a different directory. But again the same problem is coming and it is not showing the sun app server. Netbeans is opening and Sun App Server 9 is also working in isolated mode but I cant seem to find the sun app server still in the server list of netbeans.
Kindly help. I am just too frustrated.

Hi,
I have installed J2EE 5 SDK on windows XP. When I installed NetBeans 5.5.1 and tried to register it with Application Server, it got registered automatically. I had to uninstall both due to some reasons, now when I installed both j2ee and netbeans again, i see D:/Sun/AppServer folder empty and not able to register NetBeans 5.5.1 with application server. I tried again and again by reintalling but AppServer folder remains empty and not able to register. Any help for this issue??????????
