Xerces ClassCastExceptions on bad startup.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me on this issue.
We have multiple xerces jar files on our system.
The one in the WAR directory is version 2.3.0.
The one identified from the server.xml server-classpath is Xerces-J 2.6.2.
On rare ocasions, when an enduser accesses a web page when the server has not started up properly. i.e this happens between when the logs state "INFO ( 7033): CORE3274: successful server startup" and "INFO ( 7033): CORE5053: Application onReady complete.".
ClassCastExceptions are seen in the logs. As shown below.
This problem is reproducible.
Could I ask:
1. Is there a way to stop users from accessing the server before the "Application onReady complete" is seen in the server.log?
2. I've been reading on the xerces faq site http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-general.html#faq-5
there is a workaround for Websphere. Is there any for the Sun Appservers?

Just in case anyone comes across this:
I believe the problem can be resolved either by removing your app's duplicate entry (if you can use the old version), or following the recommendations in this link that discuss setting the context classloader:

Is this is a managed server, then you can delete the files from the ldapfile
directory. Upon reboot, the managed servers will copy down a replica from
the admin server. Only do this on a managed server.
On an admin server, go to the backup directory and restore from the latest
backup zip file.

Subversion - ClassCastException on JDev startup

Hi,
During JDeveloper startup the IDE complains with the exception reproduced at the bottom of this post.
The project was checked out from a subversion repository, we're able to compile it and execute it normally. We've tried to delete the local copy and check out again. No success, the same exception rises during startup (splash screen time).
Is this a bug or is there some workaround to solve it?
Thanks,
Jordi

From this thread -> ClassCastException it looks like this might be caused by an unreadable .jpx file.
There is a workaround in the post involving recreating the jpx file, since you using subversion it might be an idea to open the .jpx file in a text editor first, and check that there aren't any unresolved conflict blocks in the .jpx file that have been added by subversion.
What actions, ie adding new EOs etc.. preceded the exception?
Thanks,
Geoff

Power Outage Leads to Bad Startup

I wasn't there when it happened, but there was a power outage and our family HP Pavilion HPE h8-1050 Desktop PC was still on when it happened. Because of the power outage, it naturally was shut down. After power was restored we tried turning it back on. It booted us to the page where it gave us the option of starting Windows up in Startup Repair mode or Launch Windows normally. We tried to move the selector down to Launch Normally but it wouldn't work. We could only press enter on Launch in Startup Repair and once we did that, no other prompts popped up. It just stayed on one screen the entire time and nothing ever popped up. The Wireless Keyboard was functioning properly when it was plugged into my Laptop, so it can't be a problem with the keyboard. How can we fix this?

Hello ilee7,
I understand that after a power outage your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1050 Desktop PC is stuck on the repair windows screen. If you are still experiencing the issue I would recommend that you Create a system repair disc (you may have to use another computer to make the disc) and then Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues, which will resolve your startup issue.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a wonderful day!

My Geforce NX6600 256mb AGP card. Bad startup.

Hello, I've been having troubles with my computer ever since my last video card fried on me, taking my motherboard with it.
Anyways, what I'm currently running:
MSI NX6600 256mb AGP Video card
Intel 3.2 Processor
Intel D865PERL Motherboard
2 x 256 Mb Corsair DDR Memory
Antec Truepower 430V Power supply. +12V/26A
My PSU Output
+5V | 36A
+12V | 26A
+3.3V | 28A
+5V, +12V & +3.3V Max. Output
410W
Total Max Output
430W
I had my motherboard replaced by intel, and the setup works fine when I install my friend's 5500 Geforce into my cpu. I've also swapped out all of my parts (Processor/Memory) into his and other CPU's and they've all worked fine.
However, when I try my setup with this videocard, the system does not give me any graphical signs of any kind, it's like the cpu is on sleep mode. I don't even get a post from bios or anything.
This is just really frustrating as I cannot figure out what is stopping this card from working... Everything is plugged in fine (I'm not that stupid), I've had no prior bios problems, and this is a new motherboard so it should all be defaulted anyways. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY appreciated, I haven't had a phone call answered or returned in over a week My character is rotting in WoW and he needs to be played, haha. Anyways thanks for reading this.
Edit: Info.
Edit: PSU Chart

Well something tricky has occured, I have purchased a new MSI Intel 865PE Neo2-P Motherboard and I tried it out with the 6600.
At first it didn't work, so I tried it with the little floppy-sized power connector on the side of the video card and it worked! ALAS!... It worked for like... 3 days. I was up playing late one night (lineage 2) and everything was working A-OK, I was super stoked that my system was finally up and running. So I power down my pc, wake up the next morning and turn on my PC. Screen is black again :/ I really have no idea what it could be. So I tried later and the floppy sized connector fried when I tried to turn on my PC. I am getting a replacement card by NewEgg, but I tried my setup with my old Geforce 5500 and it didn't work either. I tried later on that day, and it powered up fine... got to the windows login screen, I was happy once again. I went away for a few minutes and came back to see a blue screen notifying me that a hardware malfunction had occurred and that I should contact my hardware vendor...
I really am stuck. I'm not sure if it's my Power Supply that's been acting up or what... but is it likely that when the little floppy power connector on my Video card popped it took anything else with it?
Also, my Mobo and Ram are brand new. Bought them same time.
Thanks in advance

Bad Graphics Card? Replacement?

Over the last 2 days my computer has been very, very sad Bad graphics glitches. Freezes. Bad startups, etc.
All my RAM seems to be okay, and my startup disk does, too.
So I was wondering if my graphics card had gone belly up?
I have a GForce 8800.
My buddy at work had a fairly new ATI Radeon HD 2600 HD, and he gave it to me today to test.
I came home, and swapped them out. But I get BLACK on my monitor. Nothing. Nada.
The Nvidia still works (although it gives me the glitches and the now-frequent panics).
Do I need a DRIVER for this ATI?
If I can't boot up 100% how can i hope to install it?

Thanks for the response!
I've actually been able to share my sreen via my MacBook.
It's pretty obvious that it WAS my old GPU. Ugh.
What's WEIRD is that I haven't seen my MacPro this FAST in a while! Its' pretty obvious that this card was on it's last legs for a while!
This "zippiness" makes me think that I could get a few more years out of this puppy yet!
Any other suggestions for cards?
I'm having a real time finding viable options that I KNOW will work with this 3,1 model. Not a lot of "enter your model, and we'll list the options for you" kind of sites. At least that I know of.
For instance, would this one from Amazon work?

Again, thanks a TON for your help.

Loading Xlet via .jar

Hi everybody,
i've got an Xlet containing about 100 classes and some resources. Since the startup-time is beyond the pale when files are loaded separetely by the object carousel, I want to load them with some .jar-files.
Therefore I wrote a custom ClassLoader that overrides the loadClass(String,boolean)-method as required in JDK1.1.8, reads the .jar as dsmccObject and defines/resolves the class. And everything's working so far.
part of sample code for loading from repository:
<code>
DSMCCObject dsmccZipFile = new DSMCCObject("test1.jar");
dsmccZipFile.asynchronousLoad(this);
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(dsmccZipFile);
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(fi);
ZipEntry entry = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
while((entry = zis.getNextEntry()) != null){
     String entryName = entry.getName();
     if(entryName.equals(className+".class")){
          buffer = new byte[1024];
          int len=0;
          while((len=zis.read(buffer)) != -1){
               baos.write(buffer, 0, len);
          zis.closeEntry();
          zis.close();
          byte[]classBytes = baos.toByteArray();
          baos.close();
          return classBytes;
</code>
Cause I'm a newbie to classLoaders, I have the following problem:
The classes from the jar files are not known at build-time, so that I'm not able to do typecasting and calling the classes' methods.
The only way I handled the problem was the ReflectionAPI.
<code>
Class c = mcl.loadClass("test", true);
Object o = c.newInstance();
Method method = c.getMethod("aMethod", new Class[0]);
method.invoke(o, new Object[0]);
</code>
It works, but i don't like this solution, since it will result in complex code and the reflection's performance is not so high in comparison to direct method calls.
Another solution would probably be a common known interface, which calls methods, but that's worse i think and i had to implement the interface in all classes.
=> my questions:
1) Is there a common solution for jar-loading in MHP (i'm surely not the only one with a bad startup-time if loading files seperately)?
2) If not: is there a better solution than mine (using the reflection api) (the source will be the same: initial ClassLoader.class and .jar's send from same source over the oc)?
3) Should I extend org.dvb.lang.DVBClassLoader (I simply extended java.lang.ClassLoader) and which parentClassLoader should I use as second parameter? I tested it once with the Xlet's ClassLoader (getClass().getClassLoader()) but the problem is of course still the same.
4) Is there a reason that there is no jar support in the mhpAPI / environments (resp. those i know)? I simply used ZipInputStream instead of JarInputStream. Are jar classes available for download anywhere?
THX
regards,
Ben

Thanks to desperado for pointing out that you couldn't load classes from JAR files. I thought that was the case, but couldn't find where in the spec said it, so I assumed I was wrong. Ho hum.
To answer your questions:
- caching can be done on either the module level of the file level. MHP is pretty flexible about this, and doesn't define how much cache will be present (having no cache at all is acceptable, but most boxes have some)
- module arrangement will not always help, but it does make things easier. What you can do in DSM-CC that you can't do in HTTP is change the repetition rate of modules, so that commonly-used modules are transmitted more often (and thus have less latency) than less commonly used modules. Of course, this does affect the time needed to transmit the entire carousel.
- jars work pretty well in an internet app, but they're much less use in a DTV environment because you're transmitting your apps in a carousel. See below for why this is the case.
- you are right that you have to load files separately and not from JAR files. Loading from JAR files is not interoperable.
Loading classes from a JAR file would be slower because you have to wait for the entire file to load before you get any classes out of it. Depending on the size of your file, this can have a number of problems:
1) you need to load the entire JAR file. This means that you have to load all of the files, not just the ones you need, which takes longer. You're still only transmitting your object carousel at the same speed.
2) using modules that group together your files in a logical way may make better use of the DSM-CC cache in the receiver. If the receiver caches modules, then grouping files that are used together in the same module means that you will have less latency when loading files froma cached module. This gives you some of the benefits if using a JAR file in a more flexible way.
3) DSM-CC can compress the data in your files before transmitting it, so using a JAR file won't actually help you much in terms of reducing space.
The only tutorials that I know of that discuss DSM-CC are mine and the ETSI documentation. If you find any more, please let me know.

Weblogic managed server shutdown immediately after going to STARTING state

Our configuration has 3 managed servers M1, M2, M3. M2 and M3 are in a cluster to share JNDI name for JMS servers. Are M3 server often shutdown on starting up just after the server goes to the STARTING state. I have 2 log traces. The first shows when the server shuts down, the 2nd is when the server initializes correctly. No configuration changes, just a timing race condition. Any help is greatly appreciated.....

Thanks. Unfortunately I've already done that and it doesn't work. I've included the -Xrs option in the managed server java command line arguments, see below. However, either it is in the wrong location on the java argument list or something else is going on, because it is not working. See the JVM command line below of the managed server.....

Pulseaudio starting very slow

For some reason, pulseaudio is starting very slow on my system, even when it was a fresh install.
I was seeing very bad startup performance with several programs: firefox, hotot, etc. I did an strace on them and found they were stuck on waiting for a PID associated with pulse for about a half minute. When I turned off autospawn in the pulse config file, these programs loaded instantly, even if I put
pulseaudio --start
in my i3 config.
I'm not familiar enough to know how to debug this. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to get more information?
My sound devices are the integrated audio from my motherboard (Intel), my Nvidia graphics card, and my webcam (HD Dualpix).

Hi..
Not enough free space on the disk can slow the system down.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Try removing login items. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items.
And go to HD > Library > StartupItems. Remove all items from the StrartupItems folder.
Check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Be aware, OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
And backup all your important files before repairing or restoring OS X just in case.

Major Update Issues

After installing the latest update my computer will not get past the grey Apple screen with the spinning "Loading" logo. I've reset the pram. I've reset the SMC. I've hooked it up to my iMac and repaired the disk and the permissions, they checked out. I've done an fsck and it shows everything as fine. I can get into single user mode but not safe mode. Verbose crashes with the error:
Jettisoning kernel linker.
disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED).
kext-parent28: kextd forked child task exited abnormally
ditto: can't get real path for source.
I used to be a computer tech, but this is way beyond me. A little help would be much appreciated.

I had same basic problem on June 7th. In 20 yrs using Macs, have 12 (1986-2006) all working beautifully, I'd never encountered as instantaneous a problem so similar to yours, incl past 4 yrs dozens of incremental SW Upd for Tiger on 6 machines.
The following worked for me, otherwise I'd never post all this. A long stroll thru these discussions +(thank you members!)+ helped me get on a path (11 hrs, mostly online research & download time) to solving a mid-startup freeze seemingly caused by (certainly immediately after) installing latest Security Update 2008-003 PPC. *Here's what I learned, in a more logical order:* Although neglecting to run Disk Utility & TechTool Pro periodic maintenance before running updates (never good to skip, usually don't) on 20" G4 iMac (not my own) I used my laptop on (slow) WiFi connection at (highly shared) public library to download latest QT, iTunes, & SecUpd 08-003. Ran QT (w/ restart) & iTunes no problem but the restart after running SecUpd failed: went to desktop background (only) after your stopping point but just before usual "Welcome to OS X" box w/ progress bar. No menu, dock or icons. Ran Apple DU & TechTool, found/fixed minor probs, but same bad startup. Read much talk here sugg never use SW Update in auto mode (I never have) in favor of manual op 1 at a time, (I always have) avoiding wireless and/or slow downloads of any updates due to potential corruption in flight (oops, broke this rule, although update behaved correctly until bad restart), and obviously having a full HD backup avail, bootable clone preferred. And this Mac didn't! Yikes! Can't really undo a SW update unfortunately, and took one member's post advice on doing an Archive & Install, I kept the "Preserve Users..." box checked and voilá of course back up and running. On another post's advice, downloaded the large 10.4.11 COMBO update (never done that before, always incremental) at an actually very highspeed local internet cafe and ran that to tremendous success. Most everything preserved or moved to new System & Apps folders. Only had to swap the new Mail for original one in "Previous Sys" folder, reselect specific dial-up # from list, move couple other Apps & Utils to the new locations, and restart again. Dreaded the whole 1st experience, but OS X came thru for me! It's crucial that enough free space exists on your HD and as long as you are equipped with your (a) Tiger OS install DVD and access to getting the big COMBO update of the OS at the level you have been using. It totally worked for me, under severe time constraints, away from home on my parent's iMac, the day before flying home. However, only the initial Archive/Install of older Tiger version from DVD would have been possible without my laptop to get the Combo download to fix a desktop 2000 miles from home. 180mb on a dialup? ha-ha. Plus it had use-proven folder of all updates since 10.4.11 Combo release ready to go via thumbdrive. If you only have one Mac, a friend with Mac laptop is good thing to have! Good luck. It's all voodoo anyway, with myriad possible inter-related criteria, which is why I laid mine out here, and thanks again to other members...

OSX Lion can't recognize my recording audio interface

After i updated to osx lion i am unable to switch my audio in/out to my alesis io26 firewire interface, both in logic pro 9.1.4 and the sound preferences in osx. i have the drivers from alesis but not sure if i need to wait on updated drivers for it to be compatible with lion, or logic needs an update or if i've just missed a step. any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. very pressed for time

Assumption: driver ****** up with 10.7 - hard to tell or the SystemStarter- i informed alesis customer support with link to this duscussion... maybe will get a fix... , seems like firewire ok, but driver does not load the IO channels .

CS5.5 component upgrade problems

I installed Master Suite CS5.5 a couple of weeks ago, and all programs I opened worked fine. The one thing I used immediately was Acrobat X Pro to edit .pdf forms and save them. Thnking it would be a good thing, In Acrobat X Pro, I used the "Check for Updates ..." menu item (under "Help") to find any updates. It found a bunch of updates for all of the Master Suite programs, and I installed them. Well, that caused a bunch of problems with Flash and Acrobat X Pro. Attempts at editing .pdf forms caused Windows 7 to freeze. I think that CS5.5 might have issues if a newer version of Flash is installed (than came with the software).
My PC suffered hard shutdowns and bad startups (hanging) ensued. Several times I had to revert to earlier restore points to start up my system. Ultimately I did an uninstall and reinstall - using the Adobe CS5.5 Cleaner Tool - and all seems well again.
My question is, what happened with the updates, and do I reject future updates altogether? I 'm using Google Chrome for my browser, and I deactivated the automatic Flash updates it performs.
Thanks

No error messages at all. Just a PC freeze up and then several reboot issues until going back to a restore point.
After my reinstall of the master suite I have one message from Support Advisor at every startup. It's a"licensing program" error "cpsid_83578r3: Error, "Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing - Creative Suite 5." I searched for that issue description, and I will see if I can get rid of it. Right now, I don't know if that will cause me any issues down the road.
UPDATE
After reading a few posts here re the cpsid error and the particular products that had problems, I tried opening Adobe InDesign. The software opened, but it was unresponsive to any user commands (mouse clicks). My PC locked up for 30 seconds or so before I got mouse control back. I could not shut down the PC and ctrl-alt-delete then shutdown did not work. I finally performed a hard shutdown by using the on/off switch. I have yet to start the syatem up after that.
After my master suite re-install, I openbed all programs in the suite - including InDesign - and none of them caused any problems like lock-ups or freezing. I am uncertain as to why InDesign caused a problem since then.

Career development

Well, I'm not quite sure whether this is the right place to put this one. Essentially, I was looking for a place to post career development questions, and couldn't find one.
Right, so I've been an Oracle SCM functional consultant for around 6 years now,from Consultant to Team Lead, and am getting kinda bored with it. More than monotony, the fact that many people all around me have the same profile irritates me like anything. I've always wanted to do something exclusive, but am not sure where to start from. Basically, I want to use these 6 years of experience to get into something niche. It doesn't necessarily have to be entirely technical/functional. or entirely managerial. Can be a bit of both, actually. I've not yet done an MBA, so if doing an MBA helps me in reaching this goal, that's fine with me as well.
In a nutshell, I would like to get into something which the world needs more of, and cannot get in plenty, and at the same time use these 6 years of experience.* Doing an MBA was an option, but even post MBA, I would land up with a manager's job, and aren't there millions of managers already around?
Would require pointers from experts, please. I'm from India, if that helps in any way.

Again here is a differentiation of MBA schools, agree or disagree with the details and the opinionation, the argument is food for thought. http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_poor_quality_diploma_mill_mba_schools.htm
I believe this reference is US specific, the situation will typically be the same wiht other countries, eg the UK, with perhaps different accrediting bodies.

I think he does make some good points, though I have the impression all his posts on the subject are merely marketing fluff to justify his rates for his consultants. The San Marcos State university mentioned in the comment is close to where I live (we usually call it Cal State San Marcos), and I've worked with a number of people who have gone there, including as a DBA for a dev team at a startup ,who all went there including their manager. They put out quality grads, too bad startup upper management was snotty USC kids who missed the proper opportunities. Nearby used to be one campus of the National University mentioned in [url http://www.degreeinfo.com/off-topic-discussions/3560-losing-gaining-regional-accreditation.html]this thread, where I took some MBA classes in the '90s. I've found those classes to be very useful, personally, since I so often have to translate between MBA-speak about non-IT departments and technical requirements.
I speculate this applies even more so to India. They are going through boom times with [url http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-14/tata-consultancy-hires-70-000-employees.html]extremely rapid growth, which is fertile ground for scams. I wonder if the companies are ready yet for some experienced worker to say "Hey, I'm ready to move up in the world, why don't you send me to MBA school so you can have someone ready for your future growth." But I think most workers in that environs would just play musical chairs until the music stops (aka job-hopping until cheaper labor in other third world countries takes the business away).
The thing about business schools is they (hopefully) teach about managing cash, the usual problem in the startups that appear when the big boys crash and start firing lahks of employees.

HD doesn't start at switch on

Twice in last 2 months, pushing the On button on my pc brings up the blue light, but no response from the orange HDD light. Unplugging the power cord at the back, waiting the 30 secs and replugging starts everything normally.
Product info = HP Compaq CQ2815EA; O\S = Win 7 HPE.
I'm wondering if this is "Cold Weather Syndrome", as both occasions were after very freezing nights. This pc seems to have a very sensitive electrical system: it kept having bad startups when I had it plugged into a surge-protected socket. On those occasions, the O/S had to find a Restore Point.

Hello A-Mac,
I see that you have questions concerning you Compaq's hard drive starting with the pc, is that correct?
I personally think the weather can play a part with the pc, especially when the pc itself gets real cold. I have had some weird experiences with my laptop when I left it in the car and it was below freezing outside.
I would suggest testing the hard drive to make sure the computer is not picking up any errors or problems with it. Here is a link showing the steps to test the hard drive.
There is also a start up test that can be run on the pc, this tests a few more things on the computer. This will ensure that there are no hardware issues.
Follow these steps to get into the system diagnostic :
Turn the pc on and immediately tap the ESC key on the keyboard.
You should get a start up menu screen, select SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC, normally F2 or F9
Select the start up test and let it run
Let me know what happens.
