WebLogic 10 support for old J2EE application

Hi,
we have an application written with Java 1.4 and EJB 2.0 (+ Hibernate 3.0, + Struts 1.3.8).
Will it work in WebLogic server as is (I suppose we would need to change descriptors?) or we will have to re-write the application in EJB 3.0?
Thanks

I believe this should work. In fact you'll want to leave the deployment descriptors alone so they indicate the correct level of the specification that the application was developed for:

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64 and other microssoft x64 OS-s.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64.
All Windows x64 (XP,2003,2007,Vista,7,8) have no support for not system locale filenames|foldernames for all 32-bit applications. I think it is BUG!
For example, it is possible to read files|folders with French or Chinese in English locale windows installed, rename it, but it is not possible open it, edit or delete. (ERRORS: File not found OR Unknown format)
With using 64-bit programs no such problems. How does it works and how can I fix this? Is it problem with encoding in translating kernel instructions for 32-bit apps in x64 Windows OS's? Whether there are
solutions to this problem OR some hacks|fixes?

Hi,
Have you installed the language package for French or Chinese?
If no, please download the language package and install them.

Is Weblogic 11g supports for Kerberos AES/RC4 Encryption on Windows 2008 R2

Is Weblogic 11g supports for Kerberos AES/RC4 Encryption on Windows 2008 R2?
Thanks,

DES is disabled by default on 2008, could this DC be a Windows 2003? If so then this would be the expected encyption.
The following is the list of the encryption available for each Windows system
Windows 2000, XP,Windows Server 2003:
DES, RC4
         Vista
, Windows Server 2008:      DES, RC4,AES

Login module for the J2EE application

Hi ,
I am trying to use the BasicPasswordLoginModule for my J2EE application which will be deployed in the SAP J2EE engine.My application will not be accessed through the portal.
I am having a login screen in my application for which i want to use the already avaliable login module. ie.. BasicPasswordLoginModule.
When i am trying to get the login(). i am getting the following the error.
"javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: No LoginModules configured for BasicPasswordLoginModule".
Please let me know what needs to be done.
PS: The version environment is CE 7.1
Regards
Abu Bakar

Hi Julius
I am totally confused, my application is a pure J2EE application which has only one screen which just displays the details. And i want only the login screen to be implemented. I have gone through a couple of dec from sap which tells to created a custom login module if requiredl but i want to user the FORM based authentication and use the BasicPasswordLoginModule(in-built in WAS)
All that i am doing is written a web.xml with the following information:
<login-config>
   <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
   <form-login-config>
   <form-login-page>/home.jsp</form-login-page>
   <form-error-page>/relogin.jsp</form-error-page>
   </form-login-config>
</login-config>
<security-role>
    <role-name>App_Viewer</role-name>
</security-role>
web-j2ee-engine with following information:
<security-role-map>
          <role-name>App_Viewer</role-name>
           <server-role-name>Administrator</server-role-name>
     </security-role-map>
     <login-module-configuration>
     <login-module-stack>
     
          <login-module>
          
               <login-module-name>BasicPasswordLoginModule</login-module-name>
               <flag>SUFFICIENT</flag>
               <options>
                    <option>
                    
                    <name>UserNamePrefix</name>
                    <value>Admin</value>
                    </option>
               </options>
          </login-module>
     </login-module-stack>
     <security-policy-domain></security-policy-domain>
</login-module-configuration>
And I am not sure, if the above mentioned details are enough. My implementation code is as follows:
try {
          HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
          HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
          request.setAttribute(ILoginConstants.LOGON_UID_ALIAS, this.getUserName());
          request.setAttribute(ILoginConstants.LOGON_PWD_ALIAS, this.getPassword());
          UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator().logon(request, response, "BasicPasswordLoginModule");
          status = success;
     } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          status = e.toString();
In the NWA i have just configured the UserNamePrefix with Admin, thats all . Since the form login authentication method is already configure with the BasicPasswordLoginModule, I left it untouched.
I also implemented a custom login module and deployed it but not sure how to use it in my code.
Please let me know if i am in the rite track. Correct me if i am wrong. At the end of the day i want to use the login screen just to get authenticated. I am also not bothered about the password changing etc.. As the users who are going to use my application are the users in the Identity Management. Few portions of my screen should be allowed to be displayed based on the roles.
PS: My application is not configured in the portal. Its an independent application deployed on the WAS(CE 7.1).
Please advice

Support for Classic planning applications

Hi,
We have developed planning applicaiton using classic. Our client says that the support for classic planning applications will be withheld by oracle and so they want us to convert the classic to EPMA. Is it true that the support will be withheld?
Also it is not possible to load metadata to EPMA applications using Outlineload utility. Am i right?

No you can't use the outline loader for EPMA, but there is a command line utility :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/launch.html

Is anyone doing disaster recovery for a J2EE application?

We generally use database log shipping to maintain a standby database for our ABAP instances. We can successfully fail over our production application to our disaster recovery site with no real issues. With the J2EE instances (EP, ESS/MSS, BI, etc), we have a few concerns:
hostname cannot change, without going through a system copy procedure, so we would have to keep the hostnames in DR the same. (for example, ref: oss note 757692 - changing hostname is not supported)
fully qualified domain name - from what I understand, there are potentially issues with changing the fqdn, for example SSO certificates, BSPs, XI has issues, etc.
we can't keep both hostname and fqdn the same between DR and production, or we could never do a DR test.
Has anyone implemented disaster recovery for any SAP J2EE application that has run into these concerns and addressed them? Input would be greatly appreciated regarding how you addressed these issues, or how you architected your disaster recovery implementation.
Regards,
David Hull
The Walt Disney Company

I haven't done this personally, but I do have some experience with these issues in different HA environments.
To your first point: You can change the hostname, note 757692 tells you exactly how to do it. However like the note says, "Changing the name of a host server in a production system is not automatically supported by SAP." When it says "supported by SAP" I think it means SAP the company, not SAP's software. So I would contact SAP to see if this configuration would be covered under your service agreement. Then you have to think about whether you want to do something that isn't "officially supported" by SAP. Also I'm sure you'll need some kind of additional licensing for the DR systems as their hardware keys will de different.
To your second point: As for SSO certs (SAP Login Tickets), I think they should still work as long as the SID and client number of the issuing system remain the same. I don't think they are hostname or fqdn dependant. For BSPs I would think they would still work as long as they use relative paths rather than absolute paths. And for XI... I have no idea what kind of issues may arise, I'm not an XI guy.
Again, I haven't done what you're describing myself. This is just based on my HA experiences.
Hope this helps a little,
Glenn

Emails Architecture for big J2EE Applications

Hi all !
Need some inputs regarding design of email sending mechanism in huge J2EE applications.
We are having a medium based application (say 2 lakh subscibers) but may have a increase in
subsciber base sooner. Its a 3-tier application using Struts (JSP), EJB & Database is Oracle 8i.
Till now we are using Oracle jobs for submitting emails (asynchronus), it works fine for small subscriber
base but increase in subscriber base will increase load on database and we want to avoid that.
Concerned points are :
1. What architecture is followed in big J2EE applications for sending emails asynchronously ?
2. How much feasible is using JMS provided with weblogic app server for huge applications ?
3. Does using messaging queues at app server end will degrade performance considerably ?
Please see if anyone can help out in this..
Puneet Gandhi

I've used JMS + Weblogic (2 quad processor servers in cluster) and JMS in a system that took between 5,000 & 10,000 new users per day. It held up fine.
I'm not an architect (more of a developer), but I would create a serializable NotificationBean, send it to a MessageBean, and let the MessageBean send the email. Providing your queues are persisting and that you limit the number of MessageBeans to something reasonable, I don't see why you should have performance problems.
Alternatively if you use MQ I believe it has an email node that you can send messages to. Don't know much about this though.

Portal User details and credentials for a J2EE application?

Hi,
I am trying to access a J2EE application which is deployed in SAP Web Application Server. I want to maintain the security of this application depending the portal user. So I want to get the user id of the portal login to my J2EE application. For Example:
A user with id "super" is logging into portal I want the userid "super" in my J2EE application how to get the userid to my J2EE application's servlet. Is this possible? If possible please tell how I can acheive it?
Can I do it by creating HTTP System? If possible can u tell me where can I set the URL?
Thanks,
Ashok.

hi,
Certainly you can get the user id of the portal login in your J2EE application by using UME api's
IUserFactory userFact = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
getUserFactory().getUser(String uniqueID)
getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(String logonID)
Also have a look at this
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/15/abdc3ed98f7650e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Instead of url iview, it would be better to use AppIntegrator
Also have a look at this

Support for Old Vibrating Sample Magnetometers

Hello.
I am a relative newcomer to LabView and I am trying to get some support for a few older Vibrating Sample Magnetometers (VSM) on behalf of my employer. These machines are quite old and, although they have GPIB connectivity, I am having difficulty in being able to control them using LabView. Although they use the IEEE-488 GPIB standard, they were built before the introduction of the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI), rather than the newer 488.2 standard. As such, they work with their own proprietary commands, which are proving impossible to find. I have a working LabView program that was written by a university student for a master's degree in physics. However, I cannot communicate with the individual components, such as the gaussmeter, power supply, etc, using measurement and automation explorer. They don't even respond to an "*IDN?" query without timing out, which I thought was standard. I have tried lengthening the timeout time and tried to use drivers for similar instruments. My question to anyone out there is, do you have the drivers or the programming manual for any of the components listed below? The Vibrating Sample Magnetometers were built by the now defunct DMS/ADE. The current owners of DMS/ADE can offer little support for such old equipment. Likewise, is there something else I can try in lieu of these drivers and commands?
Devices: 1.) DMS Model 1660 VSM, 2.) DMS/ADE VSM Model 4, which includes the DMS/ADE model 32KP gaussmeter with its own GPIB port.
Thank you for your time,
Liam

Hi Liam,
As per GPIB 488.2, as I already mentioned, the ibEOSchar under Ibconfig is an 8 bit value so it will take value from 0 to 255 for which 3 number width is sufficient. Measurement and Automation Explorer also works in the same way. EOS byte value under Termination Settings section of GPIB settings accepts a decimal number from 0 to 255 and it will not allow any character and also value more than 255 as its field is limited to 3 numbers and even if you enter a value more than 255, it will be automatically changes to 255.
So, As per 488.2, You cannot give both carriage return and linefeed characters together and you cannot use the same in MAX also.
Try framing your entire command with EOS as per built in LabVIEW carriage return and linefeed functions and use GPIB Write.vi to send this entire frame. It may work.
Also, I would like to see your VSM's communication manual and understand how these commands have been implemented.
Coming to IBEOS command, its easily understandable and its used to Configure the end-of-string (EOS) termination mode or character. It have low byte and high byte.
Low byte is always an 8 bit EOS character and high byte can take three forms which are A, B and C. Also High byte can have values with combination of A,B or C.
For Example, ibeos (ud, 0x140A); means, Configure the software to end reads on newline character (hex 0A) for the unit descriptor. Here high byte is a combination of A and C where as low byte is the HEX equivalent of ASCII Line feed character.

Proxy support for third party applications

Hi all.
I have seen many posts by users saying that some applications cannot access the internet, while connected to a network with proxy authentication.
Ultimately, the problem lies in iOS not supporting system-wide proxy settings. We are therefore stuck with applications where the developer has not included their own proxy authentication methods. This is really pathetic in my opinion, seeing as the iPad, although primarily focused on a media and leisure based market, is actually used by a lot of people in the enterprise world.
There has not been any official announcement by Apple about this issue on other threads, or any announcement as to when support for this will be added. As a university student, I am forced to bring both my MacBook and iPad to campus, simply because I cannot access certain online services, such as DropBox, from my iPad. It actually makes me question what the point in getting the device was in the first place, as my primary intended usage is to eliminate the need for my MacBook to come with me to university.
I would like Apple to please give any response on this, especially seeing as these devices are bought by many people with the intention of using it on many different networks on the move. Please, don't get me wrong - with the applications that work, and the usage I have with my iPad as is, I really enjoy the device, and it is great in many aspects, but simple functions such as internet access for applications under proxy authentication should be a given feature.
With that all said, I have not had a chance to update to 4.3.1 yet, and I am not aware if it has been fixed yet or not - the change log says nothing about it though. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Are some of you also experiencing it?
MrP.
EDIT: I notice that in the change log of 4.3.1, it says: "Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services". Can anyone confirm if this has fixed the issue?
Message was edited by: Padie

Yes same here, Ipad and Iphone 4S all iOS 5.1.1 behind a proxy....Safari works but pretty much none of my other Apps. proxy acceptance will be a critical blow in the war for the Enterprise market. I need access to Apps I now rely on and they simply do not work.
With MS Surface only weeks away once people start using this with 100% success through a proxy, ( not to mention real Office that works with macros and all formatting..Oh and stylus friendly too!) a lot of apple devices may start to gather dust.
Common Apple, lets move on from Toys and get serious about work too. I am guessing there are a lot of us out there trying to make ipads work at work...help us out!

Users for the j2ee application

hi friends,
i want to create the users for J2EE applications.
can i create the users only for j2ee engine ?
how can i create these users?
if i want to implement the sap
is it necessary to buy the licence for j2ee users?
thanks&regards,
srinivas.

Hi
To create the users in J2EE applications is not an issue, but the licensing is always applicable as it is applicable for ABAP applications.
There are two ways depends on configurations:
1. If the UME store is ABAP, then you can create the users at ABAP side using SU01 and at java side using http://<hostname>:5<Systemnumber>00/useradmin
2. If the UME store is JAVA, then you can only create using http://<hostname>:5<Systemnumber>00/useradmin
The licensing for JAVA applications depends as ABAP is having, if you use it as production you have to pay the charges. Please contact your local SAP representative for further details

Weblogic Language Support For International customer

Do we have a list of languages that weblogic currently supports?
The context of the questions is admin/config etc. screens for Weblogic supported in how many and which languages besides English.
Thanks

Yes, iWork comes with both English and Japanese localizations and should switch automatically to Japanese if your wife's OS X account has the system language set to Japanese. You can probably also have it run in Japanese without the system being that way by unchecking English in the Languages tab of Get Info for the program you are using. One copy is fine.

SQL Server Enterprise support for Offline / Online Application development

Hi,
We have suggested to use the SQL Server 2012 as Database for our Enterprise application. We have the Offline/Online two set of application. Can you suggest any offline database to sync the Online SQL Server database.
Thanks,
Sethu

What is an offline database?
One can setup an "online" database and an "offline" database using SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition.
SSIS packages can be used to synch data between the databases:

Hundreds of roles for a J2EE application using SSO/OID

We are starting to develope a J2EE software that will have hundreds of logical roles. These logical roles must be assignable to users and groups on OID.
When prototyping this scenario, we were not able to make this work well enough. Namely, in OIDDAS (which will be used by the end users to administrate users), all the "role groups" and user groups are always shown in one listing.
Ideally, what we would want is to only have configurable user groups visible in OIDDAS and all the fine-grained roles would be assignable to users and groups separately. Tthe "Roles Assignment" section in user/group edit screen is quite close to the idea though having hundreds of low-level roles listed there will make administration a bit complex.
We have also considered hiding the raw "role groups" from OID by moving the low-level administration to Enterprise Manager, where multiple logical roles would be mapped to composite OID groups. However, we currently don't see this as a viable option since we don't want to allow normal login administrators access to OEM where they can break too many things.
How have you guys solved the problem of mapping hundreds of roles to user-configurable groups and users? What would you suggest? Is our planned approach (map logical roles to LDAP groups) the wrong way to try to solve the issue? What would be a better way?
Thanks in advance,
Keke

Hi Peter,
Thanks a lot for your post.
My requirement is such that I have to fetch nodes from WLP content management system and all the associated data (content, security related info) with that node. Since security for a particular node is in the form of roles, I need to fetch the roles list for the node under processing.
However my application requirement is such that any user can ask for retrieval of node(its contents). In that case I need to check whether user lies in the list of roles defined for the current node (node for which user asked).
Thus my requirement becomes: Checking whether a user is in the given list of roles.
A careful investigation if the API's helped me find out a method isUserInRole(role, rolemap), but this method provides information for the logged in user only.
My application will login thru admin credentials(weblogic, weblogic) and will chekc other users say bryan, linda are in the roles list of the nodes under procesing.
Please guide.
Regards,
Shakti
