I'm trying to deploy openMRS v.1.9.2 to a local VM running CentOS & Glassfish 2 for work. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work. Normally, I just download the standalone found at source forge. I just double-click the jar, and I'm good to go.
I normally just SSH into the the VM, so I first tried doing everything through a terminal. Here are the steps I took:
Using wget, retrieve the .zip
Create a dir (I just called it /openmrs), cd into the new directory, and then expand the .zip.
cd into the directory.
At this point, there are two options to start openMRS.
Run the bash script: ./run-on-linux.sh
Run the .JAR: java -jar [insert_jar_name].jar -commandline
When I run the .JAR, I get a stack trace.
When I try to run the bash script, I get another error.
Anyways, I thought I found a potential solution in an openMRS JIRA ticket, but it seems aimed at Glassfish 3, and not Glassfish 2 (which is what I need to use).
I then tried deploying the .WAR via the Glassfish admin UI. I thought it would work, but after going through the steps of selecting a language, whether or not to use demo data, etc. I received this.
Does anyone have experience deploying openMRS to Glassfish 2.1.1? Unfortunately Glassfish 3 doesn't seem to be a realistic option. I would really appreciate any help here. Thanks.
Although it doesn't solve my problem of not being able to successfully deploy openMRS to an instance of Glassfish v.2, I did manage to get myself further by just installing MySQL on the VM. Our work machines are all set up for postgres, so I think should have guessed earlier that not having a MySQL server installation was the problem.
Here is a tutorial I used to install MySQL

I am working on a college project along with a group of people. Our goal is to add features to an already existing application that runs on the web. Currently, I'm in the process of getting the source code to run on my machine. This consists of cloning a bunch of repos, installing MySQL and some (very old and outdated :-| ) versions of Python, and running some scripts. The process sounds straightforward but it isn't; there are a lot of dependancies that need to be met for the code to run, which means that I need to spend a lot of time looking at error logs trying to figure out what package is missing and needs to be installed or downgraded. But that's not the point of this question.
I'd like to make it easier for people to pick up the project in the future and work on it without having to spend hours just to get the code to compile. I'd like to get the project set up on a Linux VM (something I know how to do using VirtualBox) and then somehow share (?) that VM so that other people can simply set it up and be able to immediately have the code compiling (something that I don't know how to do, or if it is even possible).
Additionally, I'd like to be able to do all the coding on the host OS if possible, and only do the compiling/running on the VM (something I also don't know how to do). I would like some help/pointers with all the "I don't know" 's, as I don't know much about VM's other than how to set one up using VirtualBox.
You can use Vagrant to automate the provisioning of the VM, and setup all your tools and dependencies using Docker.
There are many good tutorials and sample vagrantfiles online to get you started. There is a learning curve involved, but well worth the effort. Many companies use Vagrant to quickly provision dev environments.
Vagrant can automatically download a specific distro/version of a VM from the web if one is not already locally installed. It can also provision a Docker container, in which you can install any required dependencies, tools, etc. You can store the vagrantfile, dockerfile, scripts, etc. in GitHub for easy access by your colleagues. All they would have to do is install Vagrant and run vagrant up from the command line.
If you want to write code on the host machine and compile/test it on the VM, you will need to setup a shared folder in the VM using Guest Additions (see here). Be VERY careful with line endings if you are working in Windows and running in Linux. You can setup the shared folder with Vagrant as well (see here).
I am working on a repository where I have to extract some features from millions of files.
For me, the current workflow is:
Write code in IntelliJ
Run unit tests
Dry run with small data
ssh to the remote machine
sftp the current code to the remote machine
Run on the server with all million of files
Look into the log exceptions and find out where the code is failing for edge cases
Fix those issues and repeat from step 1
My question would be three-fold:
Is there an easy way how I can sync code with the remote machine automatically (I know I commit to git and then pull the changes in the machine. But is there some other way other than setting up rsync etc.?)
Can I run code directly in the remote machine from IDE and debug it that way?
1) There are a lot of ways to sync your code. Sometimes the best way is to create a kind of deploy script in Python or sh if you don't want to commit and push any changes you are going to test on server. You can use sftp or scp with more automation here (use gzip and so on). Git and rsync are more mature solutions here. But with VCS your problems will be more reproducible and easier to find.
2) You can connect to remote process to debug it directly from IntelliJ. There is a official tutorial for that: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/tutorial-remote-debug.html (but it depends on your security settings because Java debug protocol is not secured itself, you may need to setup SSH tunnel for that)
3) Another, a bit more radical option: you might run IntelliJ IDEA itself on server and debug directly. You can use Projector - an open source project which lets you run IntelliJ on the server with UI in the browser (no X11 required to run). I recommend you look at this repo firstly https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-docker or configure IntelliJ on server following instructions here: https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-server.
Summary: The pkg-bootstrap.jar and related files are missing from the latest GlassFish 4.1.2 and this prevents the updatetool from running. What is the proper way to install and run updatetool on Windows 10?
Detail: I was working with the Java EE 7 tutorial and downloaded the Java EE 7 SDK Update 3 (not Web Profile) which is based on GlassFish Open Source Edition 4.1.2. I ran into a problem running the updatetool on Windows 10. When run, it gives the option to install itself but the installation fails. It looks like the update tool uses the pkg tool, and that uses a pkg-bootstrap to install itself the first time. However, this is no longer included in GlassFish 4.1.2. When the updatetool is run, it produces the following errors:
C:\glassfish4\bin>updatetool
The software needed for this command (updatetool) is not installed.
If you choose to install Update Tool, your system will be automatically
configured to periodically check for software updates. If you would like
to configure the tool to not check for updates, you can override the
default behavior via the tool's Preferences facility.
When this tool interacts with package repositories, some system information
such as your system's IP address and operating system type and version
is sent to the repository server. For more information please see:
http://wikis.oracle.com/display/updatecenter/UsageMetricsUC2
Once installation is complete you may re-run this command.
Would you like to install Update Tool now (y/n): y
C:\glassfish4>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin\java" -Dimage.path="C:\glassfish4\bin\\.." -jar "C:\glassfish4\bin\\..\pkg/lib/pkg-client.jar" refresh
Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\glassfish4\bin\\..\pkg/lib/pkg-client.jar

Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\glassfish4\bin\\..\pkg/lib/pkg-bootstrap.jar
C:\glassfish4\bin\pkg does not exist in either the latest Java EE 7 SDK Update 3 or the latest GlassFish 4.1.2. Some research on the nightly builds shows that the directory trees glassfish4/.org.opensolaris,pkg and glassfish4/pkg were removed between builds glassfish-4.1.2-b03-02_25_2017 and glassfish-4.1.2-b03-03_07_2017. I can't find anything that explains why they were removed or an alternate way to install the updatetool. My work around was to copy the two trees from glassfish-4.1.2-b03-02_25_2017 into c:\glassfish4 (from the Java EE 7 SDK Update 3) and that seems to work. But, I figure that if this was removed, there was a good reason for it, and I shouldn't be hacking it.
If there was a separate installation step for the package tool, I missed it. What is the proper way to get the updatetool to run on GlassFish 4.1.2?
I have jdk1.8.0_121 and jre1.8.0_121.
Thanks for your help.
I had the same problem as DevDevDev.
I went to the link in his post:
http://download.oracle.com/glassfish/4.1.2/nightly/index.html
Downloaded the archive:
glassfish-4.1.2-b03-02_25_2017
http://download.oracle.com/glassfish/4.1.2/nightly/glassfish-4.1.2-b03-02_25_2017.zip
Extracted the missing folders into my glassfish directory:
/glassfish4/pkg
/glassfish4/.org.opensolaris,pkg
As DevDevDev I have questions about why it was removed but it works for me...for now.... Hope it helps someone else. Thank you DevDevDev I would not have solved this without your post!
I was working with Java SE. Then I needed to work with JAX-WS, so I went into the same website as you.
Basically, it says that you have to:
Download the package (a compressed file with a folder called glassfish4)
Unzip the downloaded file (does not specify where)
voilá
It did not work for me, so I kept searching and I found this: https://forums.netbeans.org/post-91328.html
You just need to download this update from netbeans plugin Manager:
"Java EE Base"
Good luck!
I got the same problem too. It seems that glassfish 4.1 did not integrate the Update Tool, so as doc of oracle suggests, we'd better install SDK 6(glassfish 3). Here is Java EE 6 SDK Update 3, note that the version provided here is with JDK 7. If you already installed JDK in your windows 10, you may ignore it.
When you finish downloading the .exe file, you should not install SDK by double-click the .exe file. Instead, you should run below command:
java_ee_sdk-6u3-jdk7-windows-x64.exe -j [JRE-Home]
note, command here is the name of your .exe file and it needs console arg of JRE Home, mine command is as below:
java_ee_sdk-6u3-jdk7-windows-x64.exe -j D:\JDK\jre
It seems that unzipping the file using Windows explorer's zip support doesn't work properly. If you instead do as described in the README and run:
jar xvf glassfish-4.1.zip
The archive is extracted properly and all the needed pkg files are there.
What files do you need? I had the save problem I was looking for the files of tutorial. Finally I found them here: ..../glassfish4/docs/javaee-tutorial/
I am trying to integrate "Hippo CMS" in my "Eclipse Luna". For that i installed "Tomcat 8". But when i am trying to run the tomcat after adding the module to it. It is throwing error
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/slf4j/Logger".
I searched over google, it gives a solution, "That I either did not copy the shared folder correctly, or I did not copy the conf/catalina.properties correctly". But what need to be done, to resolve this issue and start my server?
If you are working locally then you can start your server with the mvn profile 'cargo.run'. This will automatically deploy a tomcat version.
If you need a standalone tomcat then perhaps this page will help you:

Okay, so here is the deal:
I was trying to install the java jdk so i can work on an android project in eclipse on this computer, but there are just so many different installations of java its impossible, for me atleast, to figure out exactly which one i needed. so i went with "JDK 7u3 with Java EE". But this also installed this GlassFish stuff, which i have no idea what is or what it does, and when i was going through all the eclipse stuff i decided to just keep my other computer for work. so i removed eclipsed and the stuff needed for that, and i removed the java stuff, but then when i try to uninstall the GlassFish, it can't, and gives me the error:
"Could not find the required version of the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment in '(null)'."
I have now been trying for several hours, scouring the web to figure out some way of removing this, install all kinds of java stuff, removing it again, reinstalling, but nothing works. I don't really care what GlassFish is or what it does, i just want it, and all the java stuff gone for good.
How can i accomplish this?
under Microsoft Windows 7 (or others), use that command line :
uninstall.exe -j "%JAVA_HOME%"
You installed first jdk1.6 then uninstalled it. In this time, you install glassfish3 and glassfish wrote set AS_JAVA=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_x in its config file but you use now jdk1.7
Open C:\glassfishv3\glassfish\config\asenv.bat
Search 'set AS_JAVA'
Change its value to your current jdk path ( eg. C:\Progra¨1\Java\jdk1.7.xx )
Try to uninstall again.
You can run the uninstall specifying the jvm to use:
try this following command to uninstall
C:\glassfish3\uninstall.exe -j <java home dir>
as stated in the error message. it worked for me.
GlassFish is a Java EE application server developed in open source, so you can create server-side services that your android apps can consume. Of course, is sounds like you are not really interested in this :-)
The Java EE SDK install/uninstall instructions are here: http://java.sun.com/javaee/sdk/javaee6sdk_install.jsp
What you probably want to download, the Java 7 SDK (JDK 7) is here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Make sure you download the JDK (Java Developer Kit) and not the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
Hope this helps.
These didn't work for me running java 1.6.0_24 in Windows 7:
I tried modifying the asenv.bat file that glassfish uses to find the jre to point to my jre.
I tried manually putting it in as in C:\glassfish3\uninstall.exe -j . This was per the official Oracle documentation.
The only thing that worked was to use the original path and move the bin and lib folders from my java installation to the directory that the error dialog
specified. Then the Glassfish uninstall started up and completed with no problems.
I was able to uninstall the glasshfish server by using the below command
uninstall.exe -javahome "%JAVA_HOME%"
Note: We need to set the JAVA_HOME in the environment variable and classpath variable
