Using Toplink with Eclipse - (Newbie question)

If you have (for instance):
* a blank Dynacmic Web Project in Eclipse
* and you have a Workbench Toplink project- say an XML or Database project.
Then you have to save your Toplink project, which spurts out various directories e.g. classes, descriptors, schemas, fooname.mwp etc.
Where do you save this in your Java project - is it at /src? Or someplace else?
I am asking this question because I am having problems when debugging my application - certain xml files cannot be found etc. Anyway I guess I just need to find out if I am getting the basics right for now - so any help will be much appreciated.
PS - Why can't I find a simple tutorial/example showing Eclipse and Toplink - it's all JDeveloper and Ant builds and ahhhhhghghhhgh!

golcarlad,
Hi, try the following EclipseLink JPA examples and tutorials for SE and EE environments - oriented around the Eclipse 3.4 IDE (ant capable but WTP ready)
With these you will be able to fully debug your JPA application both on and off any application server.
If you are still deploying your WAR to Tomcat then the following tutorial on running EclipseLink JPA on Tomcat 6 will help you out. Put your additional orm.xml file alongside persistence.xml if you are using functionality beyond standard JPA.

From
Help on creating a ServerSession in Eclipse with XML file
"In particular note that there are two META-INF directories - we want to use only the one off of src.
"Make sure that your persistence.xml (and optionaly orm.xml) file is placed off of the src/META-INF directory and not the default WebContent/META-INF dir so that it gets picked up by the servlet classloader from the classes directory."

Problem using Toplink with JUnit

Hi,
I have a problem using Toplink with JUnit. Method under test is very simple: it use a static EntityManager object to open a transaction and persists data to db. When I invoke the method from a test method, it gives me the exception:

Where is the problem???
Regards,

EntityFacade class is very simple and it uses a static EntityManager object. Here the code:
public class EntityFacade {
     private static EntityManager em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("ElectroManager").createEntityManager();
     private static Logger logger=Logger.getLogger(EntityFacade.class);
     public static void insertCliente(Cliente c)
          logger.debug("Inserisco cliente nel db: " + c);
          em.getTransaction().begin();
          c.setId(getNextIdForTable("Cliente"));
          em.persist(c);
          em.getTransaction().commit();
If I call the method from inside a main it works well, so I think the problem is not the classpath neither the URL in the persistence.xml. However the URL is:
<property name="toplink.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:c:/programmi/ElectroManager/db/electroManager"/>
I use the latest build version of TopLink.
Thanks.

Can we use RoboHelp with Eclipse as version control?

Im am using RoboHelp 7 in the Tech Comm Suite in a Windows XP environment.
I see a lot of information on using RoboSource as versionn control, but I'm not seeing a lot of information on other third-pary version control software. I did see one posting that suggested that if you are planning to use third-party software, you should uninstall RoboSource first. I can't seem to figure out the following:
How do you determine if your version control (Eclipse) supports Microsoft SCC API?
How do you get RH to recognize Eclipse? Even though I uninstalled RoboSource Control 3, it still shows up in the Select Version Control Provider
Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere that show how to get RoboHelp to recognize third-party software?
As always, thanks for your assistance.

Colum,
Thanks for recommending that I visit Peter's web site. It has a great page on Eclipse. Wish I had read it before I was shoved kicking and screaming into using it. However, it did stop short of providing me with information to troubleshoot the problems I'm having with Eclipse and RH 7. I sent him an e-mail from the site and hope that he will be able to answer it.

Dobt in using Emulator with Eclipse

Hi all,
I am using Eclipsewith ME + Suns WTK(2.2 , 2.5 and2.5.1 versions ) for devoleping Midlet Application.I have to teest my Midlet suite for
a) MIDPI version 1.0 and CLDC 1.0 handsets
b) MIDPI version 1.0 and CLDC 1.1 handsets
But there are no Handsets with the above configuration available in these wtk versions.
But I can change the cldc version in the Preference page of Eclipse
(Eclipse>Windows>Preference>j2me>preverification>��..). &
(Eclipse>Project Propertise>preverification...............................)
Which among these Is the correct way?
====================================
Also i got a url ---- http://developers.sun.com/mobility/device/device
Here there are number of hand sets supports different CLDC and MIDP versions
But how can i use this devise�s Emulators with Eclipse ME?

This happen when I tried to save the project. Any suggestion??
What are the best practices to apply SCM using Toplink?
Thanks!!
Matias

Whenever this happens you should be able to do a "file>save as" and save the project in a new directory -- at least you won't be loosing your work.
Basically I think the problem is either that somehow you corrupted the project with checkin/checkout process, or you did not check out a file that the Mapping Workbench is trying to update when you save the project.
10g Mapping Workbench, I have heard, is going to have more intelligence in the area and note ahead of time which files need to be checked out when you save your project. I think a developer preview will be available any day now, keep your eyes peeled to the OTN webpage for TopLink.
The mapping workbench reference guide has a couple pages that talk about how to use it with SCM systems. In TopLink 903 these docs are shipped with TopLink. See page 1-11 for more info.

Need advise for best practice when using Toplink with external transaction

Hello;
Our project is trying to switch from Toplink control transaction to using External transaction so we can make database operation and JMS operation within a single transaction.
Some of our team try out the Toplink support for external transaction and come up with the following initial recommendation.
Since we are not familar with using external transaction, I would like member of this forum and experts, to help comment on whether these recommendation are indeed valid or in line with the best practice. And for folks that have done this in their project, what did you do ?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Data Access Objects must be enhanced to support reading from a TOPLink unit of work when using an external transaction controller. Developers must consider what impact a global transaction will have on the methods in their data access objects (DAOs).
The following findSomeObject method is representative of a finder in the current implementation of our DAOs. It is not especially designed to execute in the context of a global transaction, nor read from a unit of work.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
obj = (SomeObject)clientSession.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
clientSession.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
However, after making the following changes (in blue) the findSomeObject method will now read from a unit of work while executing in the context of a global transaction.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
Session session = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
     session = session.getActiveUnitOfWork();
     readObjectQuery.conformResultsInUnitOfWork(); }
obj = (SomeObject)session.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
if (TransactionController.getInstance().notUseExternalTransactionControl())
     session.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
When getting the TOPLink client session and reading from the unit of work in the context of a global transaction, new objects need to be cached.
public getUnitOfWork(ILoginUser aUser)
throws DataAccessException
     ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
     UnitOfWork uow = null;
     if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
          uow = clientSession.getActiveUnitOfWork();
          uow.setShouldNewObjectsBeCached(true);     }
     else
          uow = clientSession.acquireUnitOfWork();
     return uow;
}

As it generally is with this sort of question there is no exact answer.
The only required update when working with an External Transaction is that getActiveUnitOfWork() is called instead of acquireUnitOfWork() other than that the semantics of the calls and when you use a UnitOfWork is still dependant on the requirements of your application. For instance I noticed that originally the findSomeObject method did not perform a transactional read (no UnitOfWork). Has the requirements for this method changed? If they have not then there is still no need to perform a transactional read, and the method would not need to change.
As for the requirement that new object be cached this is only required if you are not conforming the transactional queries and adds a slight performance boost for find by primary key queries. In order to use this however, objects must be assigned primary keys by the application before they are registered in the UnitOfWork.

Using Toplink with Servlets in a Clustered application server

I am having some problems with Toplink.
Basically, I have a collection of HttpServlets that manipulate a domain object and its various collections of objects. The general technique is to place the domain object in the HttpSession, and have each Servlet modify this object by retrieving it, modifying it, and storing it when necessary. The problem is that since this application is running in a clustered environment, the object in the session may or may not be the same object returned from Toplink. It may be a serialized clone of the object from another server on the cluster.
This has caused several problems. First, if I am using indirction for the collections, when the domain object is deserializaed, it throws an exception when it tries to instantiate the indirection. Next, when trying to store the object, it is not registered with a unit of work, and I am not sure how to properly account for this. Third, there is a many to many relationship. The user may pick one such object, and add it to the domain object being manipulated. This seems to cause problems when the object is read from Toplink, and added to the domain object that is a serialized clone.
Anyway, my question is, what is the general pattern for handling an object being manipulated on a HttpSession in a clustered environment, where this object(s) may or may not be the actual objects returned from Toplink? My goal is to have a factory return one DatabaseSession per cluster server, and be able to load, store, and manipulate these objects in the HttpSession.
Here is an attempt at code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import oracle.toplink.expressions.*;
import oracle.toplink.sessions.*;
public class DataAccess
private static Project project = new MyToplinkProject();
private static DatabaseSession session;
private UnitOfWork unit;
public DataAccess()
unit = getDatabaseSession().acquireUnitOfWork();
public ArrayList getAllCustomers()
Vector v = (Vector) session.readAllObjects(Customer.class);
return new ArrayList(v);
public Customer getCustomerForUpdate(Customer c)
Customer custCopy = (Customer) unit.readObject(c);
return (Customer) unit.registerObject(c);
public Form getCustomer(String id)
ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
Expression exp = builder.get("id").equal(id);
return (Customer) session.readObject(Customer.class, exp);
public void saveCustomer(Customer cust)
unit.deepMergeClone(cust);
unit.commitAndResume();
private synchronized DatabaseSession getDatabaseSession()
if (session == null)
session = project.createDatabaseSession();
session.login();
session.setLog(new PrintWriter(System.out));
session.logMessages();
return session;
public void destruct()
release();
public void release()
unit.release();
session.release();
Anyway, from this code I hope you can see what I am trying to do. The basic idea is that a Customer object provided for store and update may or may not be a serialized copy. Also, the object returned from a read may be serialized before the indirction is attempted.
Thanks for any help,
Jason Wilson

Hi Jason
A single static DatabaseSession and a single static UnitOfWork is not the recommended way of working with TopLink from a servlet. Our recommendation is that you create a single ServerSession object and that every time a servlet needs to interact with a TopLink Session, the servlet first acquires a ClientSession from this ServerSession object and possibly acquires UnitOfWork from the ClientSession. A UnitOfWork is not intended to be shared by servlets, or by different clients.
Basically, what you're attempting to do with the DatabaseSession is something we would recommend that you do instead with a ServerSession/ClientSessions combination.
As for working with persistent objects that you store in an HttpSession, I will try to give you some relevant background. First off, the UnitOfWork is intended to be used to manage the changes to a set of objects in a SINGLE TRANSACTION. It is always much easier to manage if these transactions are short-lived (ie if there is one transaction per ServletRequest.
However, the fact that you are talking about storing objects in the HttpSession makes me think that you are also considering long-running transactions that are may be spread out over several ServletRequests. You should definately consider this decision very carefully. If you want to continually edit an object that is stored in the HttpSession, then we need to consider how to manage when the object's changes should be committed to the database and how to manage concurrency when two users have the same object in their respective HttpSession objects.
One idea is not to store the actual object in the HttpSession but instead to store the "id" of the object (something that you can use to find the correct object when the same user makes another request). So servlets always:
-acquireClientSession
-find the object that they are working with (based on information in the HttpSession)
-if the object is to be edited then a UnitOfWork provides clones of the object (this isolates you from changes that some other user makes to the same object)
-at the end, commit the changes to the object.
When the user makes another request, the object they read will have their changes. So, functionally, this is the same as storing the actual object in the HttpSession, except TopLink can provide proper ACID behavior for any updates that you decide to make. And don't worry about the added "expense" of having to query at the beginning of each servlet request; if you are storing the "id" of the object in your HttpSession, then you a simple cache hit is all that is required to get back the correct object. You don't have to go the database at all.

How do I use toplink with Spring 2.5 and oc4j 10.1.2?

Our existing java server environment is limited to Oc4j 10.1.2 due to being tied to Oracle Forms.
We've added a java 6 jdk to the machine and linked it to a specific container to examine some newer java features since this version of the application server only comes with java 1.4.2.
Does anyone have some configuration steps for getting toplink essentials and spring to work with oc4j 10.1.2? Even with oc4j 10.1.3 in jdev 10.1.3.4 I'm having problems trying to figure out what needs placed in the persistence.xml file verses what needs placed in the spring-beans.xml file.
I'm trying to either use the J2SE option of keeping the connection information in the persistence.xml file (which doesn't work) - it tries to connect to //localhost:1521/orcl. If I try to define a datasource within Spring's xml file, I'm not sure how to tie that into the persistence.xml file. Could I use the oc4j 10.1.2 container provided datasource?
It seems like I'm at a loss as to how to get this working. If you'd like me to post some files, I can do that later on today when I get back to work.
The configuration that I'm trying to do is based on a modified workspace from an ibm developerworks article with websphere, mixing in the ideas from a JPA with Spring 2.0 article from Mike Keith and Rod Johnson. (That article goes pretty far in the configuration information but never provided an example to download...)
Any help appreciated.
Eric (hbg, pa)

I'm still at a loss with this. Rather than worry about the older version, for now, I just want to see JPA in action. So, I've decided on just running the Spring 2.5.6 petclinic example out of the samples folder. When I try to do this, after only tweaking the web.xml to use the applicationContext-jpa.xml file, the application does not initialize properly. Here's the stack trace I get:

Cannot make .war file using tomcat with eclipse and ant

i have made all necesary configuration for deploying application using eclipse and ant for the tomcat server.
when i start the server by clicking the tomcat icon on eclipse toolbar, the message is prompted that "missing application web.xml and using defaults". i have placed the web.xml file in the web/WEB-INF directory of the source project directory.
also when i use ant by right-clicking on the build.xml file and choose Run as ant.. the process creates a desired .war file in webapps folder of the tomcat server but that war file does not works.
where is the error i cannot figure out.
am attaching the code of build.xml for reference.
please help.

So is context.xml actually overwriting the settings found in server.xml?I think so. The way I understand it is the the context.xml file saves you from having to edit server.xml. It is preferred for each web app to do its own config, rather than lumping them all together in server.xml.
And what would be the best way to create the war file? IAt its heart, a WAR is just a zip file with its contents laid out in according to the specification of a web application directory structure.
So the simplest way to make a war file is to zip up your directory structure with a tool like winzip, and rename it to be myApp.war.
Regarding ant, I would recommend you take a look through [url http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html
]this tutorial. It explains the basics of website layout, configuration and deployment.
On [url http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/source.html] this page in particular, it includes a link to a basic ant file that you can use as a starting point.

Using Toplink with JSF

This kind of crosses the boundaries of 2 forms. And since I'm not getting much response over in JDev perhaps this forums residents could help shed some light on the problem:
Updating Toplink objects with JSF

Thanks for bringing the thread to my attention. Keeping an eye on all the forums is challenging and occasionally we miss TopLink specific questions in the other forums. I have posted a response looking for more information on the original thread.

Using Toplink with Oracle Spatial (missing right parenthesis error)

Hi,
I always get the following error when I try to create spatial query with toplink.
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any idea ? Also, there is no trace of my point in the generated sql....
Here is the generated query:
SELECT ID, [...]
FROM QUEBEC_CITY
WHERE (MDSYS.SDO_NN(GEOMETRY, JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307, NULL) = 'TRUE')
ORDER BY ID ASC
Here is my code... :
double[] coord = new double[]{-71.25163d, 46.8527d};
JGeometry point = JGeometry.createPoint(coord, 2, 8307);
SpatialOperator nearestNeighbor = SpatialOperator.nearestNeighbor(session);
ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(UrbanEdgeDescriptor.class);
ExpressionBuilder eb = query.getExpressionBuilder();
Expression geom = eb.get("geometry");
query.setSelectionCriteria(nearestNeighbor.buildExpression(geom, point));
query.addAscendingOrdering("id");
List<UrbanEdgeDescriptor> results = (List)db.getSession().executeQuery(query);
System.out.println(results!=null);

The problem is the toString() on JGeometry. It does not print out a complete description the database can use inline. It produces:
JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307
To get JGeometry types to work in your queries the easiest solution is to use parameter binding so the literal representation is not used.

Eclipse newbie question

I just installed eclipse with openjdk6.
When I try to run something, even the most basic hello world thing, I get this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

I need to work on eclipse for my school and this is really driving me mad. does someone has a solution?

Are you sure your program is correct logically, mathematically, and in syntax? Try running your files in terminal so eclipse isn't a factor. I'm sorry I can't help any more than that. I use Netbeans from the community res with the official JDK.

Using ADF with Eclipse

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a sample project using ADF Faces (only the JSF components, no bindings or anything else). Target server is WebLogic 10.3 and IDE is Eclipse 3.4.
First of all, I'm not entirely clear on the relationship between ADF Faces and Trinidad. I know that the former has been donated by Oracle to Apache and it later became the Trinidad project, but how is the current Trinidad project related to the ADF Faces components delivered with WebLogic 10.3? Is there any advantage in using the commercial distribution instead of Trinidad? As I said, we don't want to use the rest of the ADF framework (bindings and all).
Secondly, my deployment has been failing for multiple reasons. The current situation has the WebLogic console displaying the following warning :
28-Jan-2009 5:13:54 PM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.core.CoreRenderKit _addBasicHTMLRenderKit
WARNING: Could not find basic HTML renderer for family javax.faces.SelectMany, type=javax.faces.Checkbox
When I try to load the page, the console shows the following error:

My current setup is as follows:
- WebLogic 10.3 with latest patches
- domain is configured to support Application Development Framework (is this necessary?)
- web.xml declares:
* context-param: oracle.adf.view.faces.ALTERNATE_VIEW_HANDLER = com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler
* filter: adf-filter = oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter
* servlet: faces-servlet = javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet (load-on-startup = 1)
* servlet: adf-resources-servlet = oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.ResourceServlet
* listener: com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
- weblogic.xml declares:
* library reference to JSF 1.2
- faces-config.xml declares:
* default-render-kit-id = oracle.adf.rich
- JAR dependencies:
* adf-faces-api
* adf-faces-impl
* adf-share
* adf-facelets
* jsf-facelets
Does this setup make any sense at all?
Thanks,
GB

Hi Shay,
Thank you for your answers. The ADF-Trinidad relationship is now clear to me.
I have installed JDeveloper 11g and succeeded in creating a simple ADF Faces application then deploying it to a stand-alone WebLogic instance. I've learned through the process that even JDeveloper struggles to deploy the application as a WAR, and only succeeds when deploying it as an EAR file.
I am now trying to upgrade this simple application to use Facelets instead of JSPs. JDeveloper 11g has Facelets support but it seems that it cannot mix Facelets and ADF components - after creating a new Facelets page, the Resource Palette only shows standard JSF components and the ADF Faces components are nowhere to be found. Surely I must be missing something?
Given this, I tried updating my setup to include Facelets rendering but I'm running into more troubles. I get one of 2 results depending on how I configure the servlet mapping for the Faces servlet.
1. If I map the Faces servlet to /faces/*, the page renders, normal HTML tags are rendered but all JSF tags (standard and ADF) are not rendered, they are simply copied verbatim to the web page (as seen in the HTML source). I also get the following message in the console:
30-Jan-2009 9:42:21 AM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.activedata.SessionDataUpdateManager __getPageDataUpdateManager
SEVERE: cannot register active data when window has no name2. If I map the Faces servlet to *.xhtml, I get the following exception:

Using TopLink with ADF?

I've downloaded the JDeveloper 10g preview, and I'm interested in the provided ADF features. The online Help says "When you want to create ADF application clients that work with other business services, including... TopLink mappings... see the available documentation on the JDeveloper page of OTN", but I don't see this documentation? Is it available yet? If so, could someone please post a link?
Thanks!

Duh, sorry, that "more" link sure is helpful...

How to debug java stored procedures using jdwp with Eclipse IDE?

I need to debug the java stored procedures loaded in Oracle 9.2.0.6. The java files are loaded into the database using dbms_java.loadjava('-force -debug -verbose -resolve lib/java_stored_procs.jar'); The jar contains .java files and the database resolves and compiles them into .class files. Works fine but I need to debug the code. I am tried of the println method since takes too much and too many iterations.
My IDE is Eclipse 3.1. I want to use the jdwp for debugging in my IDE. Any one who knows the exact steps?
Thanks a lot.
