glassfish 5.0 not start - intellij-idea

This is my code
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
#ServerEndpoint("/echo")
public class EchoServer {
#OnMessage
public String echo(String incomingMessage) {
return "I got this (" + incomingMessage + ")"
+ " so I am sending it back !";
}
}
but it throws this error, I don't know which XML is incorrect.
Exception during lifecycle processing

How to solve it?


The error is because you have older schema namespace for application.xml
All new schemas are at http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/. Most older schemas remain in the http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ namespace.
Make sure you use newer one.

PLC4X:Exception during scraping of Job

I'm actually developing a project that read data from 19 PLCs Siemens S1500 and 1 modicon. I have used the scraper tool following this tutorial:
PLC4x scraper tutorial
but when the scraper is working for a little amount of time I get the following exception:
I have changed the scheduled time between 1 to 100 and I always get the same exception when the scraper reach the same number of received messages.
I have tested if using PlcDriverManager instead of PooledPlcDriverManager could be a solution but the same problem persists.
In my pom.xml I use the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.plc4x</groupId>
<artifactId>plc4j-scraper</artifactId>
<version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>
I have tried to change the version to an older one like 0.6.0 or 0.5.0 but the problem still persists.
If I use the modicon (Modbus TCP) I also get this exception after a little amount of time.
Anyone knows why is happening this error? Thanks in advance.
Edit: With the scraper version 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT I continue having this problem.
Edit2: This is my code, I think the problem can be that in my scraper I am opening a lot of connections and when it reaches 65526 messages it fails. But since all the processing is happenning inside the lambda function and I'm using a PooledPlcDriverManager, I think the scraper is using only one connection so I dont know where is the mistake.
try {
// Create a new PooledPlcDriverManager
PlcDriverManager S7_plcDriverManager = new PooledPlcDriverManager();
// Trigger Collector
TriggerCollector S7_triggerCollector = new TriggerCollectorImpl(S7_plcDriverManager);
// Messages counter
AtomicInteger messagesCounter = new AtomicInteger();
// Configure the scraper, by binding a Scraper Configuration, a ResultHandler and a TriggerCollector together
TriggeredScraperImpl S7_scraper = new TriggeredScraperImpl(S7_scraperConfig, (jobName, sourceName, results) -> {
LinkedList<Object> S7_results = new LinkedList<>();
messagesCounter.getAndIncrement();
S7_results.add(jobName);
S7_results.add(sourceName);
S7_results.add(results);
logger.info("Array: " + String.valueOf(S7_results));
logger.info("MESSAGE number: " + messagesCounter);
// Producer topics routing
String topic = "s7" + S7_results.get(1).toString().substring(S7_results.get(1).toString().indexOf("S7_SourcePLC") + 9 , S7_results.get(1).toString().length());
String key = parseKey_S7("s7");
String value = parseValue_S7(S7_results.getLast().toString(),S7_results.get(1).toString());
logger.info("------- PARSED VALUE -------------------------------- " + value);
// Create my own Kafka Producer
ProducerRecord<String, String> record = new ProducerRecord<String, String>(topic, key, value);
// Send Data to Kafka - asynchronous
producer.send(record, new Callback() {
public void onCompletion(RecordMetadata recordMetadata, Exception e) {
// executes every time a record is successfully sent or an exception is thrown
if (e == null) {
// the record was successfully sent
logger.info("Received new metadata. \n" +
"Topic:" + recordMetadata.topic() + "\n" +
"Partition: " + recordMetadata.partition() + "\n" +
"Offset: " + recordMetadata.offset() + "\n" +
"Timestamp: " + recordMetadata.timestamp());
} else {
logger.error("Error while producing", e);
}
}
});
}, S7_triggerCollector);
S7_scraper.start();
S7_triggerCollector.start();
} catch (ScraperException e) {
logger.error("Error starting the scraper (S7_scrapper)", e);
}

So in the end indeed it was the PLC that was simply hanging up the connection randomly. However the NiFi integration should have handled this situation more gracefully. I implemented a fix for this particular error ... could you please give version 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT a try (or use 0.8.0 if we happen to have released it already)

ConnectionSpecWrapper no longer present in recent releases

Why the activejdbc class ConnectionSpecWrapper has disappeared in recent releases?
in the 3.0 (and also 2.3.2-j8) activejdbc jar we have:
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionJndiConfig.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionConfig.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionJdbcConfig.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionDataSourceConfig.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/DBConfiguration.class
In 2.3 jar we have
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionSpecWrapper.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/DbConfiguration.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionJdbcSpec.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionSpec.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionDataSourceSpec.class
org/javalite/activejdbc/connection_config/ConnectionJndiSpec.class
I am using it like this, in a filter:
#Override
public void before() {
if(Configuration.isTesting())
return;
List<ConnectionSpecWrapper> connectionWrappers = getConnectionWrappers();
if (connectionWrappers.isEmpty()) {
throw new InitException("There are no connection specs in '" + Configuration.getEnv() + "' environment");
}
for (ConnectionSpecWrapper connectionWrapper : connectionWrappers) {
DB db = new DB(connectionWrapper.getDbName());
db.open(connectionWrapper.getConnectionSpec());
log.debug("Opened connection: " + connectionWrapper.getDbName() + " envname " + connectionWrapper.getEnvironment());
if(manageTransaction){
db.openTransaction();
}
}
}
#Override
public void after() {
if(Configuration.isTesting())
return;
List<ConnectionSpecWrapper> connectionWrappers = getConnectionWrappers();
if (connectionWrappers != null && !connectionWrappers.isEmpty()) {
for (ConnectionSpecWrapper connectionWrapper : connectionWrappers) {
DB db = new DB(connectionWrapper.getDbName());
if(manageTransaction){
db.commitTransaction();
}
db.close();
log.debug("Closed connection: " + connectionWrapper.getDbName() + " envname " + connectionWrapper.getEnvironment());
}
}
}
I'm thinking of upgrading the Gazzetta dello Sport's fantasy football site which has been live for something like 8 years and working really well. It is on Java 7/Activeweb 1.10/Activejdbc 1.4.9

The "wrapper" classes have been renamed into "Spec" classes, as you rightly noticed. Generally these classes are not used. If you want to continue using them you can of course (rename accordingly). However, a better approach is to define your connections in a file:
https://javalite.io/database_configuration#property-file-configuration
and simply use https://javalite.io/controller_filters#dbconnectionfilter.
I'm assuming you wrote a custom controller filter and are using ActiveWeb.
Update:
Now that we established you use ActivewWeb, consider removing your code and simply using a DBConnectionFilter, here is a perfect example: https://github.com/javalite/javalite-examples/blob/master/activeweb-simple/src/main/java/app/config/AppControllerConfig.java#L31

Migration from Spring Batch 3 to 4

I'm trying to migrate from Spring Batch 3.0.6 to 4.1.1.
I'm stuck handling Spring Batch's execution context data as explained here.
What I would like is update tables batch_step_execution_context and batch_step_execution_context as follows, for each record :
unserialize context data using the deprecated XStreamExecutionContextStringSerializer
serialize the java object obtained using a jackson ObjectMapper
update the table using this new string
It has worked for some records and I could run Spring Batch 4. But for some jobs, the new string is not deserializable as a ExecutionContext.
Here is an example of such a string :
{
"setMoisAffaires":[
{
"premierJourDuMois":{
"date":1257030000000,
"stringFromDatePatternAmericain":"2009-11-01",
"hour":0,
"year":2009,
"dayOfMonth":1,
"dayOfWeek":7,
"dateString":"20091101",
"monthOfYear":11,
"minuteOfHour":0,
"secondOfMinute":0
},
"date":1257030000000,
"stringFromDatePatternAmericain":"2009-11-01",
"hour":0,
"year":2009,
"dayOfMonth":1,
"dayOfWeek":7,
"dateString":"200911",
"monthOfYear":11,
"minuteOfHour":0,
"secondOfMinute":0
},
//a lot of records like the previous...
],
"batch.taskletType":"com.sun.proxy.$Proxy57",
"batch.stepType":"org.springframework.batch.core.step.tasklet.TaskletStep"
}
Here is the trace when I try to do : ExecutionContext a = objectMapper.readValue(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(javaObject),ExecutionContext.class);

Here is an example of a step using such setMoisAffaires :
<bean id="jobname.jobstep" parent="jobItemParent"
class="fr.mycompany.myapp.collecte.batch.jobname.jobstep" scope="step">
<property name="setMoisAffaires" value="#{stepExecutionContext['setMoisAffaires']}" />
</bean>

What has been serialized with XStream is not necessarily deserializable with Jackson. So I'm not sure how you can solve this issue. See breaking change note here.
EDIT: After adding a minimal complete verifiable example
The XStreamExecutionContextStringSerializer#deserialize returns a Map<String, Object> of the key/value pairs of the old execution context. I would this map directly as input to the Jackson serializer instead of marshalling it to a String and then creating it back from a String. Here is how I updated the test:

Error occurred creating story: "Cannot parse object reference from", Rally

I am trying to create user stories in rally by java. Am failing to get response and it throwing " Cannot parse object reference from ".

Please help. New to rally. Thanks in advance

When setting reference fields such as Project, Iteration, Release, WorkProduduct, Parent, etc that point to full objects use the reference,and not the Name.
Find out the unique ObjectID of the Project "C", e.g. 123456.
Replace:
newStory.addProperty("Project", "Characters");
with
newStory.addProperty("Project", "/project/123456");
To find ObjectID of a project you may either query by its name in WS API, or look at the URL of one of Rally pages in the address bar, while in that project, e.g. URL of a Backlog page: https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/123456/backlog
If there is a d or u appended to ObjectID string, e.g. 123456d, do not include it in string. In the URL it indicates if you are currently scoping up or down.

VTD-XML Exception: Name space qualification Exception: prefixed attribute not qualified

I receive an XML via a web service and I am using legacy code (which uses dom4j) to perform some xml transformation. Loading/parsing the original XML into VTD-XML (VTDGen) works fine, no exceptions thrown. However, after loading the xml into dom4j, I noticed some of the element namespace declarations and attributes are re-arranged. Apparently, this re-arrangement causes VTD-XML to throw the following exception:
Exception:
Name space qualification Exception: prefixed attribute not qualified

Here is the element at this line number in the original XML:

The problem is regarding the attribute (at offset 1827, at the end of the element) in the new XML element: RR_PerformanceSite:FormVersion="1.4"
Here is what removes the exception:
1. Adding the RR_PerformanceSite xmlns declaration for this element to the root element of the XML doc.
2. Replacing new element with original element. This SEEMS to lead me to believe that the order of the attributes/ns declarations affects VTD when parsing.
NOTE: I parse the xml doc setting ns aware to 'true' with both xml docs (original and post-dom4j xml). Also, new VTD objects are created for each xml, original and post-dom4j.
I tried to put 'RR_PerformanceSite:FormVersion="1.4"' at the beginning of the element like the original but that does not remove the exception. The offset in the error message is different due to the change of location of the attribute. Does the order of the xmlns declarations affect VTD?
I have looked at the VTDGen source code and cannot figure out why this exception is being thrown.
Why would dom4j parse the new doc and vtd is unable to? Can anyone can shed some light on this?

It appears to be a bug on VTD-XML, related with namespace declaration order.
Always reproducible using the following Java code
public class SchemaTester {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String bad = "C:/Temp/VTD_bad.xml"; // XML files to test
String good = "C:/Temp/VTD_good.xml";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
char[] buf = new char[4*1024];
FileReader fr = new FileReader(bad);
int readed = 0;
while ((readed = fr.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) != -1) {
sb.append(buf, 0, readed);
}
fr.close();
String x = sb.toString();
//instantiate VTDGen
//and call parse
VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
vg.setDoc(x.getBytes("UTF-8"));
vg.parse(true); // set namespace awareness to true
VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot (vn);
ap.selectXPath("//*/#*");
int i= -1;
while((i=ap.evalXPath()) != -1) {
// i will be attr name, i+1 will be attribute value
System.out.println("\t\tAttribute ==> " + vn.toNormalizedString(i));

}
