We've found a bug in a program that we bought from another company, which doesn't exist any more. The bug is somehow major, we have to figure out at which module/step the error occurs. We know the tracing data which are simply what the end user types into the program. Is it possible to using WCF to realize such debugging? If it is possible, where could man find some examples?
You can enable service tracing on both the service and client ends:

UPDATE
It's not that hard. You can find simpler examples than that easily.

Then you can read the logfiles generated by using SvcTraceViewer.exe

How do I handle and return a human readable error in a Java Azure Function app?
All examples of this on a Google search, are just simple instructions on how to do a try-catch, which is not my question.
More specfically, how do we design the return status code and the response body of the request, in a way that provides the most flexibility to a wide array of situations?
Given that we are not integrating Spring-Boot in this case, and that we do not have access to anything Spring.
Given that my API generally returns an object that we will call Pojo1, on error, what is the best way to return a informative message.
NOTE: Of course, I do know there are situations where you want security through obscurity, in which case I would probably choose logging errors to app insights. This is not my question though.
Well, you can set custom headers while returning the request. This
can be done using a setHeader function.
You can also use azure service bus or event grid which will carry
specific messages regarding the errors.
Also, you can use azure monitoring which collect all the error and
notify you when everything happens.
Refer this article by Eugen Paraschiv for indepth explanation on how to use setheader.
Refer this documentation on azure service bus and this documentation on event grid.
Refer this documentation on azure monitoring logs.
As the question suggests, why should I use ILogger or Serilog or any other 3rd party logger for that matter. I have absolutely nothing against either or any 3rd party loggers. I've traditionally always rolled my own, I don't find it difficult or time consuming, more often than not I've just reused/rehashed something I've written before.
I'm not looking to bash anything. But from what I've read they pretty much do what my logger does and that's just simple messages and time stamps so I can see whats going on. I capture this
Date/Time
Message or error message
Module that added the log (name)
Logged in user (if my app has users)
I'm just looking to see what the community thinks
For Serilog, I've recently been through a series of article that explains it fairly well: https://ranjeet.dev/All-about-structured-logging-introduction/
The main reason is to leverage structured logging, which consists in adding machine friendly meta data, on top of classical human friendly string based logging. When you end up with a big system in production, this is a gamer changer, because going through Gb of text files would be very unproductive. Then, on top of that, you get a very well thought framework with addins and integration to easily manipulate your logs.
Currently, I am working with SAP Business One SDK. I took some project from another team. This project is a SOAP web service. It has been written in ASPX technology, anyway another team used standard DI API library. This is the main problem with this solution because it causes a lot of problems with memory leaks.
In source code after every operation when DI API is called I try to use Garbage Collector, but unfortunately, it is not enough.
The web service is hosted on IIS and I had to set an option that for some time restart it. I know it is not the best solution, but it works. Obviously, that way generates many problems.
I have a question about it. Does any reasonable solution exist? Or I will have to rewrite source code using DI Server?
I have read a lot about this, I found some articles on the Internet. Please do not put any links in comments, because I am quite sure that I have read them.
Every time you use a DI API object you have to release it. Otherwise, it will stay in memory and it will cause the memory leak you mentioned.
The correct way to release them is to use ReleaseComObject. Remember that if the object is null you will get an exception so check it first.
if (oDocuments != null)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oDocuments);
I can access this API/WS through
http://localhost:8080/ode/processes/ProcessManagement?wsdl.
I would like to get the Process Info of a Process through this service and active it.
The serivce has the matching operations getProcessInfo and activate.
With listAllProcesses I get all Processes of a delpoyed package.
For getProcessInfo/activate I need the Process pid.
I get a <ns:pid>, using this gets me a load of Exceptions.
Using the name of the process and other stuff I receive earlier doesn't work either.
The pid is of type QName, perhaps thats the root of the problem.
However I don't now how to typecast here.
(Tried all with the eclipse Web Services Explorer and soapUI)
question: How does a proper request for both Operations look like?
When I try to consume the webservice with axi2 via eclipse, there is a undeclared variable local in the AnySimpleType class. I'm not keen on using the service this way.
But since I'm already writing a Client for the DeploymentService I thought about this approach.
question: How do I properly access the ProcessManagement?
EDIT: I have a simular problem with the DeploymentService and the undeploy Operation.
EDIT2: I figured the Problem with the DeploymentService undeploy out.
I had to get the Packagename as String. Then a made a javax.xml.namespace.QName out of it. Then I used the setPackageName of said undeploy operation.
Answer to question number 1:
soapUI with listAllProcesses returns
<ns:pid>{ode/bpel/unit-test}HelloWorld2-1</ns:pid>
getProcessInfo wants
<pmap:getProcessInfo>
<pid>?</pid>
</pmap:getProcessInfo>
Now I replaced <pid>?</pid> with
<pid xmlns:odetest="http://ode/bpel/unit-test">odetest:HelloWorld2-1</pid>
and it worked like a charm.
I remember that there was an issue with parameter ordering when using the Axis2 generated WSDL. Could you try if building a request against the original WSDL located at http://localhost:8080/ode/deployment/services/ProcessManagement works?
EDIT: Now that I got the question correctly, the problem is that ODE expects the QName to be serialized differently, i.e. in the XML way instead of the Java way. Thus, instead of <ns:pid>{ode/bpel/unit-test}HelloWorld2-1</ns:pid> the correct notation is <ns:pid xmlns:odetest="ode/bpel/unit-test">odetest:HelloWorld2-1</ns:pid>.
I would want to program something where you upload a file on the one side and the other person can download it the moment I start uploading. I knew such a service but can't remember the name. If you know the service I'd like to know the name if its not there anymore I'd like to program it as an opensource project.
And it is supposed to be a website
What you're describing sounds a lot like Bit Torrent.
You might be able to achieve this by uploading via a custom ISAPI filter (if you use IIS) -- all CGI implementations won't start to run your script until the request has completed, which makes sense, as you won't have been told all the values just yet, I'd suspect ISAPI may fall foul of this as well.
So, your next best bet is to write a custom HTTP server, that can handle the serving of files yet to finish uploading.
pipebytes.com I found it :)
