WAR access to external resources/ WAR deployment models

Hi all.
          I have a web app that contains about 500K of "application" code and
          resources (ie stuff that changes between versions) and about 10MB of static
          content (gif, wbmp, wav etc) that changes infrequently
          Currently i deploy this all as a 10.5meg war file.
          I would like to break this up into a "static content" file (JAR, RAR?) and
          an "application" WAR file.
          This way when I want to test/debug a new version i only need to redeploy the
          smaller WAR file
          Is this possible? If so - how? If not - what do you suggest?
          Thanks
          Matt

Thanks Dimitri - great idea
          That will also allow me to make static data updates without having to
          recompile, test and deploy my code and dynamic content
          I guess I could also specify the context of the static data as an init
          parameter in my servlet

IPSEC VPN clients can't reach internal nor external resources

Hi!
At the moment running ASA 8.3, with fairly much experience of ASA 8.0-8.2, I can't get the NAT right for the VPN clients.
Im pretty sure it's not ACL's, although I might be wrong.
The problem is both VPN users can reach internal resources, and vpn users cant reach external resources.
# Issue 1.
IPSEC VPN client cannot reach any local (inside) resources. All interfaces are pretty much allow any any, I suspect it has to do with NAT.
When trying to access an external resource, the "translate_hits" below are changed:
Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (outside) to (outside) source dynamic vpn_nat interface
   translate_hits = 37, untranslate_hits = 11
When trying to reach a local resource (10.0.0.0/24), the translate hits below are changed:
5 (inside) to (outside) source static any any destination static NETWORK_OBJ_172.16.32.0_24 NETWORK_OBJ_172.16.32.0_24
    translate_hits = 31, untranslate_hits = 32
Most NAT, some sensitive data cut:
Manual NAT Policies (Section 1)
<snip>
3 (inside) to (server) source static NETWORK_OBJ_1.2.3.0_29 NETWORK_OBJ_1.2.3.0_29
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
4 (inside) to (server) source static any any destination static NETWORK_OBJ_10.0.0.240_28 NETWORK_OBJ_10.0.0.240_28
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
5 (inside) to (outside) source static any any destination static NETWORK_OBJ_172.16.32.0_24 NETWORK_OBJ_172.16.32.0_24
    translate_hits = 22, untranslate_hits = 23
Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (outside) to (outside) source dynamic vpn_nat interface
    translate_hits = 37, untranslate_hits = 6
Manual NAT Policies (Section 3)
1 (something_free) to (something_outside) source dynamic any interface
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
2 (something_something) to (something_outside) source dynamic any interface
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
3 (inside) to (outside) source dynamic any interface
    translate_hits = 5402387, untranslate_hits = 1519419

Hi,
I don't seem to get a reply from 8.8.8.8 no, kind of hard to tell as it's an iphone. To me, all these logs simply says it works like a charm, but still I can get no reply on the phone.

WAR deployment problem

          ok this is really confusing and annoying!!! I have a .war file (servlet + jsps
          + descriptor) packaged up in the correct way, I have checked the docs like 100
          times.. the problem is, I'm running win NT and when I create the war file I'm
          executing 'jar' on a directory structure..
          WEB-INF/classes
          WEB-INF/web.xml
          *.jsp
          But when I view the resulting .war file in winzip, I see this..
          WEB-INF/classes/all classes.....
          web-inf/web.xml
          where on earth is this lowercase web-inf coming from ??
          as a result when i deploy this war file, it deploys fine and the init() method
          of the servlet is called, however when i try to access the servlet via it's alias
          (specified in web.xml) it can't be found.
          The exact same files work when used as an exploded directory (DefaultWebApp),
          and can be accessed via the alias.
          The MS-DOS name of the directory is WEB-INF so I simply can't understand where
          the "extra" lower case
          directory web-inf is coming from........
          Am I correct in assuming the lowercase web-inf is the problem ?? I'm not 100%
          sure cos the weblogic
          console can read & edit this xml file.
          Has anyone else experienced WAR deployment on windows problems like this? I'd
          love to get my hands on a unix box but my company suffer from unix-phobia :/
          any thoughts/suggestions/solutions greatly appreciated,
          thanks,
          sd


Explorer in Windows has an option to allow all upper case, for example.

File Not Found Error: new WAR deployment

I'm trying to find the path to my new WAR deployed JSP files. The following error occurs:
Exception:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\oracle\ora9ias_test\apache\apache\htdocs\RAP_Editor_viaWAR\RapView1_Browse.jsp
In my address bar I type: http://(oracle_home):7778/RAP_Editor_viaWAR/RapView1_Browse.jsp
I don't know why it is looking under the \apache\apache\htdocs directory. What configuration step have I missed? I'm having a similar problem finding the demo apps as well.
Thanks!
-Tony.

Well, I've found out that my HTTP path issues we're related to the Portal SDK install. The OC4J instance "JDev" seems to mess up JSPs and results in a FileNotFound exception. Its looking for JSPs in the wrong place - http://<oracle-home>/apache/apache/htdocs/j2ee/...
The fix: comment out the include directive in httpd.conf that references JDev.
Another BC4J JSP issue: Be sure your datatags.jar file is current or else you'll get an HTTP 500 error due to an unsupported attribute. The application.log file will show "Error: itermode is not a property of oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.DataSourceTag".

Problem with war deployment

          hello everybody,
          i deployed the one .war file which contains 1 servlet and another 10 simple classes.i
          deployed using the console and everything shows fine.the servlet mapping everything
          seems to be perfect.but when i run the application nothing happens.i restared
          the server.
          thanks for helping.
          sada


          You will have to be more clear on what is happening.
          With you description, I assume that it is working fine in exploded format. There
          are couple of things that can go wrong on war deployment.
          1) Check your war file contents. Path of the contents should not include the war
          file name.
          For eg: /wstt/WEB-INF/classes/com/util/Sample.class
          if above is the fully qualified path of a class and if your war file name is wstt
          then war file should conatin the path as
          /WEB-INF/classes/com/util/Sample.class
          2) Check your Target cluster/server in your console for the war file.
          I hope this helps.

Enterprise Manager menu is missing in the WAR deployment

I installing CFMX8 and a pair of test servers. I did a
multiserver CFMX8 install because I was having a heck of a time
getting the WAR deployment version install (on Windows 2003 with
JRun4).
When I got CFMX8 finally installed via a WAR deployment, I
noticed in the CF Admin left hand menu bar that the sub menu
"Enterprise Manager" was missing.
Can someone tell me what the differences are between the two
deployments, why this menu is missing.
Using the Multiserver installation is not a option because
because of the way we are setting up our environment.

The multi-server installation creates a single instance of
coldfusion server that is the enterprise manager. It is not meant
to be used as a server you deploy applications on. Rather it is
meant to allow you to create and manage other server instances and
clusters. Therefore, you see the enterprise manager menu in its
cfadministrator. That is its expected main purpose.
The war file deployment contains a single instance of a
coldfusion server. There is no need for it to have an enterprise
manager. The standard administrator allows you to manage all the
options in a single CF8 instance.
For jrun deployments you should create an ear file deployment
from the cf8 installer. Then follow the instructions in the j2ee
readme text file that is created in the same directory as the ear
file.

WAR Deployment Issue

Hi All,
The Application which is built on web services, EJB3.0, Toplinks Essential . When i deploying this application on WebLogic Application Server 10.3 everything works fine. But while Running the same application after deploying in WAR format gives some exception which i am listing below -
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown entity bean class: class <name>, please verify that this class has been marked with the @Entity annotation."
Warning-
WARNING: Found unrecognized persistence provider "oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider" in place of OpenJPA provider. This provider's properties will not be used.
But i am not able to make out why i am getting this issue in case of WAR deployment.
Looking forward to some positive response........
Thanks.

Well, your problem maybe that you need to separate EJBs from Web modules.
WAR files are for Servlets, JSPs, JSFs, etc.
EJB-JARs are for EJBs
All should be packaged into an EAR...

Weblogic 6.0 sp2: War deployment not working !!

Hi,
I'm using weblogic 6.0 sp2, and it seems as though the war deployment is not
working. My war consists of jsps, images, and under the WEB-INF/classes
directory, Struts classes (i.e. Form and Action classes). When I try to run
a jsp, i get the following error :
<Jul 30, 2001 11:48:10 AM PDT> <Error> <HTTP>
<[WebAppServletContext(4655498,ati
nera)] Root cause of ServletException
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Exception creating bean of class
com.atinera.log
in.web.LoginForm: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.atinera.login.web.LoginF
orm
But if you look in the war, that class is in there.
What gives ?
Thanks,
Jamie

That's right - ActionServlet does Class.forName(actionClass) to load action
class, and this uses ClassLoader which loaded the current class (ActionServlet)
ClassLoaders always delegate to their parent before attempting to load
the class themselves, so it wasn't working until you moved struts.jar to your
WEB-INF/lib.
BTW, Struts doc mentions this problem:
lib/struts.jar - This JAR file contains all of the Java classes included
in Struts. It should be copied into the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web
application. WARNING - If you are going to be hosting multiple Struts based
applications on the same servlet container, you will be tempted to place the
struts.jar file into the shared repository supported by your container. Be
advised that this will like cause you to encounter ClassNotFoundException
problems unless all of your application classes are stored in the shared
repository.
Jamie Tsao <[email protected]> wrote:
So I found the solution to this problem, but it doesn't really make sense to
me.
I originally had struts.jar outside of the WAR file, but in my CLASSPATH.
Weblogic was able to load Strut's ActionServlet (controller), but when the
ActionServlet was looking for the LoginForm (which was inside the WAR), it
couldn't find it.
I solved the problem by putting struts.jar inside the WAR (under
WEB-INF/lib) instead that other directory. Now it works cause apparently
ActionServlet is now in the same classloader as LoginForm, the classloader
which loaded the WAR.
I'm confused because original way should have worked since the classloader
that loaded struts.jar from outside the war is the parent classloader for
the classloader that loaded the WAR. did that make any sense ?
anyone know why ?

JDBC + WAR deployment

I've recently moved to JDeveloper and was quite impressed with the ability to deploy directly to a WAR file. However, I seem to have run into some trouble. When I use classes12.jar JDBC drivers in my project library and build the WAR it includes many of the JDBC classes in the WAR file. So I bring this war over to Tomcat in the usual way and my database connections don't work. I get:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:537)
Somewhat strangely if I go directly into the deployed WAR file and remove the Oracle and Javax directories from my classes folder, and then add classes12.jar to my Tomcat/lib directory then everything works fine.
It seems as though the process of deploying to a WAR file is corrupting or omitting certain important classes.
1) Would anyone have any idea what could cause this sort of behaviour? Is there a problem with JDevelopers WAR deployment?
2) Also failing all else, is there a way of including the classes for compiling but not having them included in the WAR file? I tried putting oracle12.jar into the lib and lib/ext directory but it didn't seem to pick them up.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Molloy

I found that if I went into my deployment settings (JDeveloper project, right click on your <>.deploy file and select "Settings..."),
under the "WAR File" - "WEB-INF/lib" section, I could choose which libs were included in the war file.
I didn't include classes12.
(of course mine worked if I included it or not, so it isn't quite the same what you are experiencing.) I think it just pulled the one from <ORACLE_HOME>\jdbc\lib\. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a manifest file with a version...so you probably have to check the create date/time or the included classes to figure it out.
Maybe your two classes12 files are for different versions, and so they are conflicting. This might explain why it works if you put the classes12 directly in your app server, but fails when it is also in the war.
If you do include classes12 in the war file, using a manifest file may help the classloader with determining the precedence that you want.

War Deployment in OSE

Has anybody successfully used the war deployment tool for deploying wars into the OSE. I have installed the tool along with 1.1.2.0 of OracleJSP but when I use the deploywar command in the sess_sh environment I get the following output:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
Thats it, nothing else. I have checked in the database, all the classes are compiled and valid. I have tried innumerable variations to the command line with no change in the result. I re-installed everything from the ground up using OracleJSP 1.1.2.1 with the same result.
I have successfully deployed servlets and jsp's manually so I know that part works.
Any hints or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, John. It turns out that I didn't have a correct auxiliary descriptor. (My xml header was bad.) Once I checked that I was able to get farther. Unfortunately, now I am running into problems with the jsp converter not being able to find the tag library tld. It doesn't seem to be using the <taglib> directives in the web.xml. It also is complaining that it can't find a file that is in an embedded .jar file in the war... grumble.

Deployment of enterprise app with external resources (binary file)

Hi. Where do I configure/add external resources (such as a text or binary file) in an enterprise app so that they will also be deployed to a WebSphere Express server? Should they be added to the enterprise app at all, or should they simply be moved up to a server directory? (I am trying to avoid a hardcoded file path in my servlet.)
I could use a properties file, but I was wondering if there is something in one of the deployment descriptor settings that would help me out?
I need one of my servlets to stream in this external binary file after the enterprise app has been deployed to a WebSphere Express server.
Thank you.

Normally, the context of the bin directory or the WASHOME will be the startup directory for the server. If you use File IO without a path it will pick it up from this directory. so u can place the file in this directory so that ur Servlet can stream the file.

External Resource JAR configuration in BPM Enterprise

I have External resource(a JAR file) in my BPM Studio. This External JAR calls some web service and gets data. Everything is working fine when I run from BPM Studio with its in bulit Derby engine and all.
The same BPM project I exported by using the 3rd option(Include Versionable libraries only - Recommended for publishing with Enterprise).
I have configured BPM enterprise by using weblogic server and Oracle express as engine also. Deployed newly exported project. Everything works fine except getting following error while calling JAR which in turn call web services.
I am getting following error in Engine.

Did I missed configuring something in Enterprise? Any other ideas?

Hi,
You could either try marking the External Resource(s) with the Jar files as versionable or copy the Jar files to these directories:
<Enterprise Home Directory>/enterprise/webapps/webconsole/WEB-INF/lib
<Enterprise Home Directory>/enterprise/ext

External web services deployment

Hi,
I am facing a situation of web services deployment. I am using Jdeveloper 10g and oracle bpel process manager 10.1.3.1.0. I am not able to deploy web services. The following are the steps that I followed to consume that web service called web service called WeatherByCity from xmethods.net.
Create new Application---> create new empty project( I named it 'projectgt') ----> new 'java web service from wsdl' from wsdl document url (http://ws.strikeiron.com/InnerGears/WeatherByCity2?WSDL ------------->

When I right click Webservices.deploy under resources and deploy to the application server, it says failed to deploy with the following message.

Development and access to external WSDL URL

Hi All,
I am developing a SOA application with BPEL composite which also makes calls to an external third party webservice. Due to security reasons, the external third party webservice URL is only accessible from our Development server machine (and not my local machine running JDeveloper). Issue with this is the SOA application development is done using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 on my local machine.
Overview of my application is
WebService (Synchronous Request/Response Client interface ) ---> BPEL ---> Third Party webService (Partnerlink)
1) Using the Client interface the user enters startTime and EndTime values
2) The startTime and endTime is input message to the BPEL process.
3) The BPEL process then sends the request to the third party web service (partnerlink) and gets a response message back and returns to the client.
I tried workaround for the same by asking the third party for WSDL and associated XSDs and included these locally in my SOA application project. However trying to deploy the completed SOA application and keep getting this error.
ERROR MESSAGE_
[03:40:25 PM] Error message from server:
There was an error deploying the composite on WLS_SOA: Error occurred during deployment of component: DataRetrievalService to service engine: implementation.bpel, for composite: DataRetrievalService: ORABPEL-09705
Could not initialize variable.
An error occurs while initializing BPEL variable RetrieveEventSummary_GetEventSummary_InputVariable; the schema processor cannot find the element {http://schemas.internet.com/asiapac/cad/integration/1.0.0}GetEventSummaryRequest in the following schemas: oracle.fabric.common.wsdl.SchemaManager@1cf57b6b.
The XSD element on which the variable was based was not properly defined in XSD or the WSDL.
Ensure that the element named in the error message is valid in the XSD or the WSDL.
Questions_
1) Please suggest, is it possible to develop a SOA application which makes service call to external URL, while the local development machine cannot access the external WSDL URL.
2) Also, in such cases in future deployments to test and production do I still need access to external WSDL URL from my machine. I deploy the completed SOA application from my local machine to the Development Server. The Development Server machine is configured to accessed the third-party WSDL URL.
Thanks
Edited by: user5108636 on 11/07/2011 23:53

It seems WSDL is not complete or invalid. Check whether it references element {http://schemas.internet.com/asiapac/cad/integration/1.0.0}GetEventSummaryRequest and this element has been defined in the XSD imported/defined in WSDL.
1) Please suggest, is it possible to develop a SOA application which makes service call to external URL, while the local development machine cannot access the external WSDL URL.Yes, it is possible but complete and valid WSDL must be available locally.
2) Also, in such cases in future deployments to test and production do I still need access to external WSDL URL from my machine. I deploy the completed SOA application from my local machine to the Development Server. The Development Server machine is configured to accessed the third-party WSDL URL.If server can access the third party WS URL then that is sufficient. No need to have access from local machine. Just deploy it on server and then test there.

Anuj

How to access to a resource in the ADF application?

Hi
I have a jasper report file named report.jrxml in the following path in my ADF application named “app”:
app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report
I wanna access to this file inside a java file located in the ViewController project as follows:
InputStreaminSt = new FileInputStream(new File(“app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report\report.jrxml”));
But I get the following exception:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report\report.jrxml (The system cannot find the path specified)
How could I access to this resource in my application? I am using JDev 11.1.2.3
Cheers,
Ferez

Timo,
I made a test case named fileaccess and uploaded it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2200118787/fileaccess.zip
Just open the project in JDev 11.1.2.3, the Model project is empty and in the viewController project there is a single page named home.jsf in which contains a commandButton. Clicking the button executes the #{fileAccess.readFile} method. The fileAccess bean is located in org.company.fileaccess.view.beans and introduced in faces-config.xml. Body of readFile method is as the following:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("/org/company/fileaccess/view/resources/file.txt")); file.txt is located in org.company.fileaccess.view.resources and viewController project is set to copy .txt files into output directory. Clicking the button causes FileNotFoundException.
Thank you in advance,
Ferez
