GWT RPC Deferred Binding Failed - java

We are co-developing a GWT web app that already has working RPC calls for other modules. We built a new RPC module (based on the existing architecture) that compiles and runs, but fails throwing a run-time exception on the following line:
this.dashboardService = GWT.create(DashboardService.class);
The last line in the console is "Uncaught exception escaped" followed by the stack trace to the GWT.create() line above, which is preceded by the console error message:
Deferred binding failed for ... expect subsequent failures [ERROR]
Before those two lines is a laundry list of red errors that begins as follows:
[INFO] [(...)] - Module ... has been loaded
[DEBUG] [(...)] - Rebinding (...).DashboardService
[DEBUG] [(...)] - Invoking generator com.google.gwt.user.rebind.rpc.ServiceInterfaceProxyGenerator
[DEBUG] [(...)] - Generating client proxy for remote service interface '(...).DashboardService'
[INFO] [(...)] - Checking type argument 0 of type 'java.util.Arrays.ArrayList' because it is exposed as an array with a maximum dimension of 1 in this type or one of its subtypes (reached via (...).DashboardChannelSummary)
.
.
.
(more errors without stack trace or line numbers)
The console asks "Did you forget to inherit a module?" but based upon my research, this is not the problem; the problem is somewhere in the GWT deferred binding process, which is not visible in the stack trace. I suspect the bolded line above to be the issue but I cannot make heads or tales of this error message without a line number. Here is the code with proprietary package /module names replaced with (...):
web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>(...) DashboardService
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>(...).server.DashboardServiceImpl
</servlet-class>
</servlet>

#Override
public DashboardChannelSummary getChannelSummary(int[] channelIDs, Date startDate) {

We have double and triple checked our RPC code for accuracy based on the documentation and the suggestions on SO, such as making sure the method signatures are correct across all interfaces and implementations. Anything obviously wrong jumping out to anyone? Is there a way we can we debug this error with more detail?

The culprit is most likely DashboardChannelSummary. To be sure, change the return type of getChannelSummary to something "safe", like String or just Void. If the error persists, there's an issue with the service's configuration (though, I doubt it would come up during GWT's compilation phase). If this service works, then you can be pretty sure that it's because DashboardChannelSummary is not serializable.
While the class itself has a no-args constructor and implements IsSerializable, not all the fields are serializable. You should have a closer look at the Channel class (maybe DocumentSummary too, but there's no code for it provided in the question) and the Iterator fields (ArrayList returns an Itr instance, which doesn't seem to be serializable).
If the error still persists, try simplifying DashboardChannelSummary until you get a working version and then work your way "up", until you find the part that is causing the error.

Avro Schema alias usage via Java file

I tried below avro schema :
{
"type": "record",
"name": "Tests",
"fields": [
{
"name": "name",
"alias": "first_name",
"type": "string",
"default": ""
}
]
}
when I "compile schema" this using avro tools I get the corresponding java file.

I am wondering where is the getter/setter for alias? How can i use it? I understand if I have avro record then I can use the alias but how to I generate Avro record using Java file using that alias?
aliases is responsible for providing an alternate name to a field. Documentation from Apache Avro.
If you update alias to aliases, this will work:
{
"type": "record",
"name": "Tests",
"fields": [
{
"name": "first_name",
"aliases": ["former_name_of_field"],
"type": "string",
"default": ""
}
]
}
This is an optional field to support schema evolution.

How to invoke ParkingTicket(parker, parkee)?

Here is my problem I can't seem to figure out how to invoke a ParkingTicket object if (carMinutesPaid>meterMinutesPaid)? can any one help here are the details below to the question.
public static ParkingTicket checkParking(int carMinutesParked, int meterMinutesPaid)
{
Car parker = carMinutesParked;
ParkingMeter parkee = parkee;
if(carMinutesParked>meterMinutesPaid){
return new ParkingTicket(parker, parkee);
}
else if(carMinutesParked<=meterMinutesPaid){
System.out.println("null");
}
return new ParkingTicket(parker, parkee);
}
Here is the question for my project.
Remember, this method must be able to be used without a ParkingTicket object in existence.
Using a Car parameter and a ParkingMeter parameter, decide whether a ParkingTicket object should be created.
Invoke ParkingTicket(parker, parkee) if a ticket was merited, and return the result.
Return null if a ticket was not merited.

return new ParkingTicket(parker, parkee);
}
}
This requirement:
Using a Car parameter and a ParkingMeter parameter, decide whether a
ParkingTicket object should be created.
suggests that you provide two parameters to the checkParking method, one is of the type Car and one of the ParkingMeter. So it should be like so:
public static ParkingTicket checkParking(Car car, ParkingMeter meter)
This code :
Car parker = carMinutesParked;
ParkingMeter parkee = parkee;
won't even compile
line 1: you're trying to assign int to object - that's called type mismatch.
line 2: variable parkee is not declared anywhere (except for the headline of the question).
You see, only the Car object holds the information about the parking duration, and you need the object for creating parking ticket. Same for the ParkingMeter
It should be vice versa - you get the values from the objects:
int carMinutesParked = car.getMinutesParked();
int meterMinutesPaid = meter.getMinutesPaid();
and proceed from here with if( or even use it in if without declaring temporary variables).
This one:
Invoke ParkingTicket(parker, parkee) if a ticket was merited, and
return the result.
you did OK.
Now this requirement:
Return null if a ticket was not merited.
suggest the method will return null, not string that equals to "null" .
So, based on these requirements it should rather be:
public static ParkingTicket checkParking(Car car, ParkingMeter meter)
{
//sanity check (bonus)
if ((car == null) || (meter == null))
return null;
if(car.getMinutesParked() > meter.getMinutesPaid()){
return new ParkingTicket(car, meter);
}
return null;
}
Note however, I don't know if you need any additional logic in this code and don't suggest this should be your final version, just explaining the general approach.

Why am I getting an Unchecked Assignment Warning?

I am getting this warning when using Gson to convert a JSON string to a Java object. Why am I getting it and how can I solve it?
This is the warning I getting in code:
Unchecked assignment:
'net.brawtasports.brawtasportsgps.model.JSONKeys' to
'net.brawtasports.brawtasportsgps.model.JSONKeys<net.brawtasports.brawtasportsgps.model.team.Object>'
This is the error I get at runtime:
java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.google.gson.internal.LinkedTreeMap cannot be cast to
net.brawtasports.brawtasportsgps.model.team.Object
And this is my code:
String jsonString = Preferences.readFromPreferences(ApplicationConstants.team_data,"");
Gson gson = new Gson();
JSONKeys<Object> teamMembers = gson.fromJson(jsonString, JSONKeys.class); //converts json string to java object
Object players = teamMembers.getObject();//object is my custom class
//ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,players);
ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,players.getPlayersSummary());
player1.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
Here is the code for my JSONKeys POJO:

public T getObject() {
return Object;
}
/**
*

public void setObject(T Object) {
this.Object = Object;
}
}
and for my Object POJO it is:
public class Object {
private HomeTeamGoals HomeTeamGoals;
private AwayTeamGoals AwayTeamGoals;
private List<PlayersSummary> PlayersSummary = new ArrayList<PlayersSummary>();
private TeamSummary TeamSummary;
/**
*
* #return

public HomeTeamGoals getHomeTeamGoals() {
return HomeTeamGoals;
}
/**
*

*/
public void setHomeTeamGoals(HomeTeamGoals HomeTeamGoals) {
this.HomeTeamGoals = HomeTeamGoals;
}
/**
*
* #return

*/
public AwayTeamGoals getAwayTeamGoals() {
return AwayTeamGoals;
}
/**
*

public void setPlayersSummary(List<PlayersSummary> PlayersSummary) {
this.PlayersSummary = PlayersSummary;
}
/**
*
* #return

*/
public TeamSummary getTeamSummary() {
return TeamSummary;
}
/**
*
* #param TeamSummary
* The TeamSummary
*/
public void setTeamSummary(TeamSummary TeamSummary) {
this.TeamSummary = TeamSummary;
}
}
You need to use a fully specified type when deserializing generics. They key line that needs changing is here:
JSONKeys<Object> teamMembers = gson.fromJson(jsonString, JSONKeys.class);
Because you're using JSONKeys.class, Gson doesn't know what the generic type of JSONKeys is. Instead, use this:
JSONKeys<Object> teamMembers = gson.fromJson(jsonString,
new TypeToken<JSONKeys<net.brawtasports.brawtasportsgps.model.team.Object>>(){}.getType());
This will tell Gson which generic type you need to use. See my explanation for why this works here: How does Gson TypeToken work?
As an aside, don't name your classes the same thing as anything in the java.lang package. It makes your code really confusing for people reading it and can cause unforseen bugs when you accidentally refer to the wrong one by forgetting an import statement.

Get product name from Array list object

Override the toString() method in the ProductEJBDTO to return the name.
public class ProductEJBDTO implements Serializable {
...
...
#Override
public String toString() {
return this.prodnam; // The product name you want to display.
}
}
Use the itemLabel attribute (docs):
<f:selectItems value="..." var="x" itemLabel="#{x.prodnam}"></f:selectItems>
(I assume the prodnam property is the desired display name; any EL expression will do though)

How to find all referrers of an object in Java?

We have a memory leak problem, we don't know what/where too many instances of a certain class are created/referred from. This occurs under heavy load in production and we cannot obtain heap dump (taking heap dump hangs the HA server for too long time). Runtime profiling is also not an option on production site because of performance degradation, the customers are happier with a random crash rather than agonizing slow during monitoring trying to fish for the crash instant. We don't know how to initiate the crash (leak), it just occurs at some times.
Is there a way to obtain object referrers/instantiation points at runtime from within the application itself?
I looked at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/jpda/jdi/com/sun/jdi/ObjectReference.html and it gives an idea that something like this could be possible.
Any pointers how to achieve this preferrably with custom code without the heap-dump-way? Reproducing the problem in test environment has been tried and it seems exhaustive wild goose-chase. We want now a brute force way to find the cause.
It is recommended that you try to check you code which is causing such leaks. Here are some tutorials and help regarding the same
IBM Article on Handling memory leaks in Java
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-leaks/
Some other useful articles
http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/188158/How-to-Fix-Memory-Leaks-in-Java
There is also an Eclipse Memory Analyser Tool
But the most recommended solution will be
Try running jvisualvm from the JVM on the same machine as your program is running and enable profiling.
We solved the issue by collecting stacktraces on instantiation and on clone.. and by dumping them on a scheduler and when memory goes low.
We know the Object class that causes the problem, just needed to hunt down where it is born:
