EDIT: I'm using the LeanFT Java SDK 14.50
EDIT2: for text clarification
I'm writing test scripts for a web application that sometimes opens popup browsers for specific actions. So natually when that happens, I will attach the new browser using BrowserFactory.attach(...). The problem is that leanFT does not seem to have a way to validate that the browser exists before attaching it, and if I try to attach it too early, it will fail. And I don't like to use an arbitrairy wait/sleep time as I can never really know how much time it's going to take for the browser to get be ready. So my solution to this is below
private Browser attachPopUpBrowser(BrowserType bt, RegExpProperty url){
Browser browser = null;
int iteration = 0;
//TimeoutLimit.SHORT = 15000
while (browser == null && iteration < TimeoutLimit.SHORT.getLimit()) {
try {
Reporter.setReportLevel(ReportLevel.Off);
browser = BrowserFactory.attach(
new BrowserDescription.Builder()
.type(bt)
.url(url)
.build()
);
Reporter.setReportLevel(ReportLevel.All);
} catch (GeneralLeanFtException e) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
iteration += 1000;
} catch (InterruptedException e1) {
}
}
}
return browser;
}
Now, this works wonderfully with one exception. It generates errors in the leanft test result. Errors that I want to ignore because I know that it will fail a few times before it will succeed. As you can see, I've tried changing the ReportLevel while doing this in order to suppress the error logging, but it doesn't work. I've tried using
Browser[] browsers = BrowserFactory.getallOpenBrowsers(BrowserDescription);
thinking that it will return an empty Array if it finds nothing, but I still get errors while the browser is not ready. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could work around this?
TL;DR
I'm looking for a way to either suppress the errors generated within my While..Loop or to validate that the browser is ready before attaching it. All of that, so that I can have a nice and clean Run Result at the end of my test (because these errors will present false negatives in all nearly all of my tests)
Addendum
Also, when the attach fails for the first time, I get a an exception
com.hp.lft.sdk.ReplayObjectNotFoundException: attachApplication
as expected, but all subsequent failures are throwing
com.hp.lft.sdk.GeneralLeanFtException: Cannot read property 'match' of null
I've compared both stack traces and they are identical except for the last 2 lines which happen within the ReplayExceptionFactory.CreateDefault() so I think that there is something that gets corrupted during the exception generation, but that is within the leanft.sdk.internal package so there might not be a lot we can do about it right now.I'm guessing that if I did not get that second "cannot read property" exception, I would correctly get the ReplayObjectNotFoundException until the browser is correctly attached.
I'd rather not force an attach endlessly until it works. Even if we'd solve the false negatives, we'd still have a not so good approach to the problem.
The cleanest solution would be to see if there is anything to attach to in the first place.
And you can do just that by getting all the browser instances that meets your description.
Browser[] browsers = BrowserFactory.getAllOpenBrowsers(new BrowserDescription.Builder().build());
Any element in this collection is an already "attached" browser - you can start using it.
If the list doesn't contain your browser instance, rerun the query.
I've written a program to aid the user in configuring 'mechs for a game. I'm dealing with loading the user's saved data. This data can (and some times does) become partially corrupt (either due to bugs on my side or due to changes in the game data/rules from upstream).
I need to be able to handle this corruption and load as much as possible. To be more specific, the contents of the save file are syntactically correct but semantically corrupt. I can safely parse the file and drop whatever entries that are not semantically OK.
Currently my data parser will just show a modal dialog with an appropriate warning message. However displaying the warning is not the job of the parser and I'm looking for a way of passing this information to the caller.
Some code to show approximately what is going on (in reality there is a bit more going on than this, but this highlights the problem):
class Parser{
public void parse(XMLNode aNode){
...
if(corrupted) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Corrupted data found",
"error!", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
// Keep calm and carry on
}
}
}
class UserData{
static UserData loadFromFile(File aFile){
UserData data = new UserData();
Parser parser = new Parser();
XMLDoc doc = fromXml(aFile);
for(XMLNode entry : doc.allEntries()){
data.append(parser.parse(entry));
}
return data;
}
}
The thing here is that bar an IOException or a syntax error in the XML, loadFromFile will always succeed in loading something and this is the wanted behavior. Somehow I just need to pass the information of what (if anything) went wrong to the caller. I could return a Pair<UserData,String> but this doesn't look very pretty. Throwing an exception will not work in this case obviously.
Does any one have any ideas on how to solve this?
Depending on what you are trying to represent, you can use a class, like SQLWarning from the java.sql package. When you have a java.sql.Statement and call executeQuery you get a java.sql.ResultSet and you can then call getWarnings on the result set directly, or even on the statement itself.
You can use an enum, like RefUpdate.Result, from the JGit project. When you have a org.eclipse.jgit.api.Git you can create a FetchCommand, which will provide you with a FetchResult, which will provide you with a collection of TrackingRefUpdates, which will each contain a RefUpdate.Result enum, which can be one of:
FAST_FORWARD
FORCED
IO_FAILURE
LOCK_FAILURE
NEW
NO_CHANGE
NOT_ATTEMPTED
REJECTED
REJECTED_CURRENT_BRANCH
RENAMED
In your case, you could even use a boolean flag:
class UserData {
public boolean isCorrupt();
}
But since you mentioned there is a bit more than that going on in reality, it really depends on your model of "corrupt". However, you will probably have more options if you have a UserDataReader that you can instantiate, instead of a static utility method.
I have a very weird problem, the classic of works on localhost and not in server.
I've tried to find a bigger problem and discovered that this code :
<div class="pageHeader"><h1>Products2 #{products.debug} </h1></div>
When :
#ManagedBean(name="products")
#SessionScoped
public class ProductsBean {
private String debug = "Debug : ";
public ProductsBean() {
debug = "Debug : ";
}
public String getDebug() {
return debug;
}
public void setDebug(String debug) {
this.debug = debug;
}
And the debug string has getters/setters,
Works perfectly in localhost but not on remote. In the remote server it doesn't echo the string at all, and no exception gets thrown and I have no idea how to start looking for the problem. The thing is that this problem gets repeated in other ways, for instance this page has a dataTable which appears empty, though it's not in localhost. when I tried file uploading in an whole different page I got exception of Target Unreachable, identifier resolved to null, which is not the problem in this case, but it seems to be related somehow I guess
Any help? I'm running on Oracle Linux Server with Oracle GlassFish
The problem is here.
Target Unreachable, identifier 'loadSimCards' resolved to null
I believe #loadSimCards resolved to null during processing.
The object is not getting created/prepopulated in your bean.
Check the code and verify if it is indeed getting populated.
You can post your Java code if you are still facing issues.
Also check beans.xml file and declaration in faces-config.xml
Reference - JEE CDI tip: Target Unreachable, identifier resolved to null
The first step in my mind would be to do a Right Click -> View Source in the browser and let us know what it shows. In the view source if the string "#{products.debug} is not getting printed, it means that the server is indeed evaluating the EL Expression, but at the time of rendering it is coming as an empty string.
Can you please provide the actual getters/setters.
Can you put loggers/SOPs in them and let us know whether they are being called and in what sequence.
Replace the pure EL Expression with a data-binding control like h:inputText and see what happens.
< h:inputText value="#{products.debug}" />
Probably unrelated, but do you have a < base /> tag declared in your page in the head section? Base tag href provides the location from which child resources are loaded. I have seen some abnormal behavior in the past while shifting servers, when the main page is loaded from from the remote while the child resources are loaded from the localhost itself on your developer box, because one forgets to change the base tag reference.
I am working on a web-application that uses Spring MVC.
It has been working fine on Glassfish 3.0.1, but when migrating to Glassfish 3.1, it started acting strange. Some pages are only partially showing, or showing nothing at all, and in the log, a lot of messages of this type:
[#|2012-08-30T11:50:17.582+0200|WARNING|glassfish3.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.web.com.sun.enterprise.web|_ThreadID=69;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|StandardWrapperValve[SpringServlet]: PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet SpringServlet threw exception

The error message isn't incorrect, because the property in question does not have a setter-method (gets its value through the constructor). But like I said, this has not been a problem when using Glassfish 3.0.1, only when using it on the new server with Glassfish 3.1.
Does anyone know if there is something in the Glassfish version that might cause this? Or is it some kind of configuration that is missing on the new server?
Some code:
Controller:
#ModelAttribute
public SomethingContainer retriveSomethingContainer(#PathVariable final long id {
return somethingContainerDao.retrieveSomethingContainer(id);
}
#InitBinder("somethingContainer")
public void initBinderForSomething(final WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.setAllowedFields(new String[] {
"something.title",
"something.description",
});
}
SomethingContainer:
#Embedded
private final Something something = new Something();
public Something getSomething() {
return something;
}
//no setter
public String getDescription() {
return something.getDescription();
}
Update:
Restarting Glassfish actually removes the problem - temporarily. I suspect that it might have something to do with the loading of the custom binders, we had some problems with out of memory errors, which I thought had something to do with it, but that has been fixed without fixing this problem.
Update 2:
On the 3.0.1 server, the one of the jvm arguments was -client. On the 3.1-server, it was -server. We changed it to -client, and this made the frequency of the error go down a lot, it was happening every other day with -server, took 2 weeks for it to happen with -client.
Update 3:
Some information about the servers (more can be added if requested..)
Server1 (the working one):
Windows Server 2003
Java jdk 6 build 35
Glassfish 3.0.1 build 22
-xmx 1024m
Server2 (the one with problems):
Windows Server 2008 64-bit
Java jdk 6 build 31
Glassfish 3.1 build 43
-xmx 1088m
-xms 1088m
We are using Spring version 3.1.0.
Update 4:
I recreated the error by renaming a field in a jsp to something that does not exist in the modelattribute.
But, more importantly, I noticed something: The fields where the system can't find the getters are often fields of superclasses of the ones that are referenced in the modelattribute. To continue my example, the SomthingContainer is really like this:
public class SuperSomethingContainer {
[...]
private Something something;
public Something getSomething() {
return something;
}
}
public class SomethingContainer extends SuperSomethingContainer {
[...]
}
The reference in the controller stays as is, so it's referencing a field that is in the superclass of the object in question.
Update 5:
I tried connecting to the production server with a debugger after the error occured. I put a breakpoint on the return statement of a controller-method returning the object with the error, and tried to see if I could access the field with problems at the time. And that I could, so the problem must lie within Spring MVC/the generated jsp-classes.
(Also, the field in error was of the type "someobject.something[0].somethingelse[0]", but when the somethingelse-list was empty, there was no error! To me, this implies that it somehow can't find the get-method of a list(?))
Update 6:
It seems that the problem has to do with the generation of Java-classes from the jsps. We have not used precompile jsps when deploying, so they are compiled when first used. The problem occurs the first time a page is visited, and the jsp compiled. I also noticed that once the problem has occured, jsps that are compiled after will all give errors. I've kept a few of the problem generated java files, and upon the next restart I will compare them to the working ones. Getting closer :)
Update 7:
Compared the compiled jsp java files that resulted in an error with ones that did not, and there was no difference. So that kinda leaves that out.
So, I now know that the Java object leaving the controller is fine (checked with debugger), and the java class generated from the jsp is fine. So it must be something in between, now I need to find out what...
Update 8:
Another round of debugging, and narrowed the problem down some more. It turns out that spring does some caching of the properties belonging to the various classes. In org.springframework.beans.BeanWrapperImpl, method getPropertyValue, there is the following:
private Object getPropertyValue(PropertyTokenHolder tokens) throws BeansException {
String propertyName = tokens.canonicalName;
String actualName = tokens.actualName;
PropertyDescriptor pd = getCachedIntrospectionResults().getPropertyDescriptor(actualName);
if (pd == null || pd.getReadMethod() == null) {
throw new NotReadablePropertyException(getRootClass(), this.nestedPath + propertyName);
}
The problem is that the cachedIntrospectionResults does not contain the property in question, it contains every other property of the class though. Will need to dig some more to try to find out why it is missing, if it's missing from the start or if it gets lost somewhere along the line.
Also, I've noticed that the missing properties are those that do not have setters, only getters. And, it seems to be context aware, as indicated by the stacktrace. So not finding a property when visiting one page does not mean that its not available when visiting another.
Update 9:
Another day, more debugging. Actually found some good stuff. The getCachedIntrospectionResults() call in the previous code block wounded up calling CachedIntrospectionResults#forClass(theClassInQuestion). This returned a CachedIntrospectionResults object, containing far from all of the properties expected (11 of 21). Going into the forClass-method, I found:
static CachedIntrospectionResults forClass(Class beanClass) throws BeansException {
CachedIntrospectionResults results;
Object value = classCache.get(beanClass);
if (value instanceof Reference) {
Reference ref = (Reference) value;
results = (CachedIntrospectionResults) ref.get();
}
else {
results = (CachedIntrospectionResults) value;
}
if (results == null) {
//build the CachedIntrospectionResults, store it in classCache and return it.
It turned out that the CachedIntrospectionResults returned was found by classCache.get(beanClass). So what was stored in the classCache was corrupted/did not contain all that it should. I put a breakpoint on the classCache.get(beanClass)-line, and tried running this through the debugger:
classCache.put(beanClass, null);
When allowing the method to finish, and rebuild the CachedIntrospectionResults, things started working again. So, what is being stored in the classCache is out of sync with what would and should be created if it was allowed to rebuild it. Whether this is due to something going wrong the first time it is built, or if the classCache is corrupted somewhere along the line I do not currently know.
I'm starting to suspect that this has something to do with classloaders, as I've previously experienced problems due to changes in the way the classloader works when updating Glassfish..
There may be more than one possible reason. I am not sure about the actual but I can give you the way to find out the problem
Step 1: on server 2 machine deploy application on Glassfish 3.0.1 build 22 , now if it works fine on the server 2 machine that it means there might be problem with the libraries of Glass fish, following can be reason for this problem
Any library that is missing in the Glassfish 3.1 build 43 that is in Glassfish 3.0.1 build 22. you can solve by copying all libraries from working Glassfish server to new server.
My be the libraries of Glassfish is conflicting with spring version. [Similliar kind of problem I have faced on tomcat and when i replaced my spring libraires from 3.0.1 to 3.0.3 it worked for me] , so replace your spring libraries with latest one.
Step 2: and if the result of step1 is that application is not running on server 2 machin on Glassfish 3.0.1 build 22 there may be following reason
if any libraries that you have pasted on java lib either not included in this server machine or having different versions.
Any folders that are set on classpath or using any environment variables on server 1, either does not exist on server 2 or don't have the jars or having jars with diff versions
I got a colleague of mine investigate the error, and he was able to recreate it in a unit test. This was done by invoking the method that builds CachedIntroSpectionResults for a class, while at the same time stressing the jvm by adding strings to the memory, with very low memory settings. This approach made it fail 20/30000 times.
As to the cause of it, I only got an oral explanation, so I don't have all the details, but it was something like this: Java has its own introspection-results, and these are wrapped by Spring. The problem is that the java-results utilize soft references, which make them prone to garbage collections. So, when Spring was building its wrappers around these soft references at the exact same time that the garbage collector ran, it actually cleared some of the basis of what Spring was using, leading to properties being "lost".
The solution seems to be upgrading from Spring 3.1.0.RELEASE to Spring 3.1.3.RELEASE. Here, there are some changes, and Spring no longer wraps soft references when determining the properties of a class (soft reference are used in rare, special cases, instead of all the time). After upgrading the version of Spring, the error has not been reproducable through the unit test, it remains to see if this is the case through in practice use.
Update: It's been a few weeks, an no sign of the error. So updating Spring version worked :)
I think I've actually found a candidate for the cause of this.
After getting the error on one of the test-servers after a very short duration and little use, we did some additional checks on the cause. It turned out that the test-server had just half the available memory, which turned us into looking at it a bit more thoroughly. It turned out that it hadn't used up all its memory, but when using JConsole to investigate the memory usage of the different part of the new generation space on the heap, it turned out that one of the surivior spaces was packed full. I'm guessing that this made parts of it overflow, leading to the overflowed parts to be GC-ed or unreachable by not being where it was supposed to.
We have yet to verify that this is in fact the problem in the production environment as well, but once the error turns up again we will check, and if it is the case we will change some memory settings to allow more space for survival areas of the new generation heap. (-XX:SurvivorRatio=6 or something like that).
So it seems that larger Spring MVC applications has a need for a large survivor space, specially in newer versions of Glassfish.
Indeed, there had been an issue with the new introduced ExtendedBeanInfo class in Spring 3.1.0, which had been fixed in Spring 3.1.1 - see (https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-8347).
I have a curious issue here
In my ejbCreate() method from where i insert the front-end populated field vales into the database , there is Null checking done, so the nullable fields are converted to ""(empty space) fields and the row is inserted properly into the Database.
Now my ejbstore() method doesnt have the same null checking so it always used to throw a "java.sql.SQLException" but the following
catch (java.sql.SQLException e) used to catch it and the application was running fine.
Now there is a new Patch added to the Unix box(my OS), now the same exception is not been caught in the "catch (java.sql.SQLException e) block", instead its falling under generic "Exception block", so my code is throwing a "CORBA related NullPointerexception" and the application crashes.
Can anybody let know how does a OS patch can change the Java exception Type hierarchy.??
I wonder whether there is some bizarre classloader issue going on.
Remember that two classes are only the "same" if they are the same class and are loaded by the same class loader.
If the component throwing SQLExcpetion loads it from one classloader, and your component loads it from somewhere else then I suspect you could get this effect.
Hence, could the OS patch have affected the JDBC drivers or the classpath from which they are loaded? Or could the OS patch have put a copy of SQLException somewhere new. Or could the OS patch have set an environment variable that affects the Classpath for some components?
