JMS Destination creation at deployment with Glassfish 3.0.1 - glassfish

I'm currently trying to 'port' my Java EE 5 Application from Jboss 6 M2 to Glassfish 3.0.1
Jboss used to create my JMS Destination Queues a deployment-time thanks to the -service.xml files. I really liked this feature and I would like to find a way to do the same thing on Glassfish. Is this even possible ?

I'm not sure of the exact status with GlassFish 3.0.1 but according to these threads:
http://markmail.org/thread/cqj56ehulg7qdenp
http://markmail.org/thread/zs4naxy534ijbpic
creating JMS destinations at deploy time was not supported. But these threads are pretty old and things might have changed (see below).
You can however declare them in a sun-resources.xml file and pass it to the asadmin add-resources command.
That being said, several documents (like this one or this one) mention the deployment of application-scoped-resources defined in a sun-resources.xml bundled in the application (that will become glassfish-resources.xml in GlassFish 3.1) as part of the deploy/undeploy of the app but:
I don't know if this is relevant for 3.0.1.
I don't know the exact status, especially for JMS resources.
This would require testing.

With glassfish v4x, Connection factory and destinations(ie queue and topics) can be configured in domain.xml file under glassfish/domains/your-domain-name
Eg :
<resources>
<connector-connection-pool resource-adapter-name="jmsra" max-pool-size="250" steady-pool-size="1" name="jms/DurableConnectionFactory-Connection-Pool" description="connection factory for durable subscriptions" connection-definition-name="javax.jms.ConnectionFactory">
<property name="ClientId" description="MyID" value="MyID"></property>
</connector-connection-pool>
<connector-resource pool-name="jms/DurableConnectionFactory-Connection-Pool" description="connection factory for durable subscriptions" jndi-name="jms/DurableConnectionFactory"></connector-resource>
<admin-object-resource res-adapter="jmsra" description="PhysicalQueue" res-type="javax.jms.Queue" jndi-name="jms/MyQueue">
<property name="Name" value="PhysicalQueue">
</property>
</admin-object-resource>
</resources>

The error that I am receiving.
I dont know what is my error about. Can someone help me to configure this?
Thank you so much
There are no actual error in that screenshot, that information is informational only.
You will also notice in the log these messages are INFO lines which are just informational messages only. If you had any actual errors you might see things like ERROR, FATAL, or even WARN is good to watch out for.
Those properties that are saying deprecated look to be properties from your hadoop site xml configuration files such as hive-site.xml that are no longer used any longer. Hadoop will just ignore those properties since they aren't used anymore. If you remove those properties from their respective configuration xml files these messages should stop if the property is removed from the xml configuration the cluster is looking at. You posted at least a portion of your hive-site.xml, it doesn't look complete but these also may not be in that xml anyway. The hadoop cluster has a number of configuration files, generally at least 1 for each service running on the cluster. It might be another such as core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml, or other xml files which are on each node running the service.
The are INFO messages about the SJF bindings being duplicated in the classpath are likely due to having a duplicate jar file somewhere. There are a few services such as yarn/mapreduce that have a property in their xml for a classpath such as mapreduce.application.classpath which has a list of multiple folders on the nodes operating system that contain jar files the customer uses to run. These messages appear when a node has two jar files that contain an identical class inside the jar file.
The most common thing that happens is you install an update to your hadoop cluster, or a specific service to a new version. Most, if not all, of these hadoop services execute jar files to run their jobs. If you upgrade the cluster, or a service you get new jar files which usually increments the version number in the name of the jar file. For example it will change from test1.1.jar to test1.2.jar. If both the new, and the old are jar file are left on the cluster in the classpath property you will get a classpath confict/warning. Essentially what happens is you now have two jar files with different name yet both have identical classpaths inside them causing these types of messages about classpath having duplicates in it.
In that classpath message it also shows you the duplicate jar files both with the name of this INFO line SJF*. Most likely if you remove the older version from any of the nodes it is still on it should stop telling you about it when it starts up.
It sounds like you had an existing hadoop cluster that you applied an update to which upgraded service to a new version. When you did this whatever version(s) you updated to no longer uses some of the properties the original version used for some reason, which is why it is telling you they are deprecated, or no longer used. You can just remove these from the xml configuration they are in on any node that has them. Then it sounds like your SJF jar file was replaced with the latest version, but the original version wasn't removed at at least somewhere during the upgrade process.
Basically hadoop will keep going without error, but it wants you to clean up after your mess upgrading is what those INFO lines are really trying to tell you.

jpa-store and hibernate OGM

Issue:
Try to configure infinspan cache with jpa-store and hibernate OGM. I can able to access the infinispan server cache through hotrod client with simple cache store, the configuration is follows,
I have configured following in ..\infinispan-server-8.1.0.CR1\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml and run the server by command ../bin>standalone.bat
<subsystem xmlns="urn:infinispan:server:core:8.1">
<cache-container name="local" default-cache="default" statistics="true">

In client side, accessing the cache sucessfully using hotrod client like below code.
Configuration config = new ConfigurationBuilder().addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(11222).build();

How to auto deploy project (customized infinispan manager class(java class), persistence.xml and infinispan-config.xml) in infinispan server(Jboss)?
The two questions are actually related:
Infinispan Server is designed as a backend data store and hence it's not designed to have applications deployed on it.
With that in mind, since you can't deployed applications onto it, you can't deploy JPA entities and hence it does not make sense to be able to configure a JPA cache store in Server mode.
You are able to deploy JPA entities on Wildfly/EAP or similar environments, where it is possible to deploy an Infinispan based application (see tutorials here) and configure a JPA store.

Multiple gemfire cache-server on same host machine

Hi i want to start more than one gemfire cache-server on same host using Spring gemfire 8.1.Please find below gemfire configuration file.

The configuration you have posted will create two cache-servers within the same JVM, i.e it will open up two ports within the same process.
If this is not what you want, i.e you want two distinct process, in eclipse you will have to provide two runtime configurations to start the two servers.
Is there a specific question? As #Swapnil points out, this will start 2 GemFire "Cache Servers" (ServerSockets listening for Cache Clients) as you have appropriately configured on the same host within the same JVM. This will work regardless of how this is executed (i.e. IDE, command-line, from Gfsh or from Spring Boot).
Let us know if you have a more specific question, thanks!
So you can configure the LocatorLauncherFactoryBean, for example, like so...
<uti:properties id="gemfireProperties">
<prop key="log-level">config</prop>
<prop key="http-service-port">8181</prop>
<prop key="jmx-manager">true</prop>
<prop key="jmx-manager-port">1199</prop>
<prop key="jmx-manager-start">true</prop>
<prop key="locators">host1[10334],host2[11235],...,hostN[20668]</prop>
</util:properties>
<bean id="locator" class="org.spring.data.gemfire.config.LocatorLauncherFactoryBean">
<property name="gemfireProperties" ref="gemfireProperties"/>
<property name="memberName" value="SpringDataGemFireLocator"/>
<property name="bindAddress" value="10.124.12.24"/>
<property name="port" value="12480"/>
</bean>
As you may have noticed, this Locator can join other Locators in the GemFire Cluster, which were specified in the "gemfireProperties" bean with the "locators" GemFire System property.
NOTE: the "bindAddress" property to the LocatorLauncherFactoryBean is only necessary if the localhost where this Locator will be running has multiple NICs and you want to bind to a specific NIC.
Also, I have set the JMX Manager GemFire System properties to enable the Locator to become and actually start a Manager (on port 1199). This allows you to connect to this Locator from Gfsh either with gfsh>connect --locator=localhost[12480] or with gfsh>connect --jmx-manager=localhost[1199].
Basically, the "gemfireProperties" bean allows you to configure any valid GemFire System property.
Now, since this Locator is running from within your IDE, you will need to configure the "run profile" with a $GEMFIRE environment variable pointing at a GemFire distribution downloaded from Pivotal's website in order to get Pulse running from this Locator. This is expected by the GemFire Manager's ManagementAgent when making a decision of whether to 1. start the embedded HTTP Service (Jetty) running GemFire's out-of-box webapps (e.g. Pulse) and 2. whether it can find Pulse and start the webapp. The ManagementAgent looks for Pulse in the distro.
For instance, I set my $GEMFIRE environment variable to...
/Users/jblum/Downloads/Pivotal/GemStone/Products/GemFire/Pivotal_GemFire_820_b17919_Linux
Now, to get your individiual Spring-configured GemFire Servers to connect to the cluster, that is simple.
Again, you only need a "gemfireProperties" bean defined in each Spring GemFire Server XML configuration file with the "locators" GemFire System property defined, e.g. ...
<uti:properties id="gemfireProperties">
<prop key="log-level">config</prop>
<prop key="locators">localhost[12480]</prop>
</util:properties>
<gfe:cache properties-ref="gemfireProperties"/>
This configuration will enable the GemFire Data Nodes to connect to the cluster, and this cluster will be visible from Pulse, if everything is setup correctly.
Again, hope this helps.
Cheers,
John
OK... so you have a few options from within your IDE (e.g. Eclipse).
If you break the Spring config above into 2 separate Spring (Data GemFire) XML configuration files, each containing 1 of the <gfe:cache-server> elements, call these files, for example, spring-gemfire-server1-context.xml and spring-gemfire-server2-context.xml, you could run the Spring-based/configure GemFire "data nodes" and Cache Servers with the following...
SimpleSpringApplication
Where the argument to the simple little Java "main" program is the file system path to 1 of the Spring XML configuration files noted above.
Better yet, you can launch these Spring (GemFire) configs with a SpringBoot application using something like...
UsefulSpringBootGemFireApplication
As you can see here, you can use either the #Import annotation if you are configuring GemFire from Spring using Java-based Configuration (for example, UsefulSpringBasedGemFireConfiguration), or in your case, with XML using the
#ImportResoruce("/classpath/to/spring-gemfire-server1-context.xml") annotation.
It maybe possible (not sure) to pass a System property value into the #ImportResource annotation, like so...
#SpringBootApplication
#ImportResource("${spring-gemfire-context-xml-location}")
class SpringBootGemFireApplication {
...
}
Then, from within your IDE, you can create 2 separate "run profiles" using the same SpringBootGemFireApplication class and then setting the System property (e.g. -Dspring-gemfire-context-xml-location=/path/to/spring-gemfire-server1-context.xml) appropriately for each configuration.
Remember, you can use Spring's ResourceLoader path qualifiers (e.g. file:, http:, etc) to resolve your Spring GemFire config from different source locations (CLASSPATH, file system, etc)... see the table ("Table 7.1 Resource strings") in hyperlinked section of the Spring Framework Reference Guide.
In the worst case, you need to create 2 separate, but nearly identical SpringBoot application Java main classes to launch your 2 configuration files for each GemFire Data Node (& CacheServer) JVM process. However, hopefully using the System property approach allows you to recycle the same class in 2 separate run profiles.
So, this leaves you with 2 GemFire Data Node JVM processes now. But, what about he Locator?
Well, you can continue to embed the Locator in the GemFire Data Node Server JVM process as before, but if you really want a standalone Locator JVM process, then you can use the following, "experimental" class...
LocatorLauncherFactoryBean
This class uses GemFire's LocatorLauncher class to configure and bootstrap a GemFire Locator from Spring config. I created this class over 2 years ago for a customer POC as example of how a developer might configure a GemFire Locator from Spring config.
The Spring XML configuration (used by the SpringBootGemFireApplication #ImportResoruce annotation, in yet another "run profile" and System property combination), would look similar to the following...
locator.xml
Now, you have effectively achieved 3 separate GemFire JVM processes (2 Servers and 1 Locator). You can scale this from with our IDE to however many Servers and Locators you want, and Pulse will show all of these in the cluster, providing the cluster is configured correctly (Servers pointed at Locators, etc).
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

How do I define a security realm in a JavaEE Stack in Cloudbees?

I'm trying to run a simple web application in a JavaEE stack in CloudBees. As part of this application, I define a security realm which is a DataSourceRealm
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>ResmanRealm</realm-name>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/welcome.xhtml</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/welcome.xhtml</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
I've written this to date using a local Glassfish3 server, in which I define the ResmanRealm against a JDBC resource. In Glassfish3-config-speak, that ends up looking like this
<auth-realm classname="com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.jdbc.JDBCRealm" name="ResmanRealm">
<property name="jaas-context" value="jdbcRealm"></property>
<property name="encoding" value="Hex"></property>
<property name="password-column" value="password"></property>
<property name="datasource-jndi" value="jdbc/ResManPool"></property>
<property name="group-table" value="V_USER_ROLE"></property>
<property name="user-table" value="USER"></property>
<property name="group-name-column" value="role"></property>
<property name="digest-algorithm" value="SHA-256"></property>
<property name="user-name-column" value="name"></property>
</auth-realm>
So, this all works locally. I saw that in Cloudbees, there's a cloudbees xml file which the doco states is legacy, but looked like it had some form of support to for this. What I cannot find is any examples of how to define a security realm as a Configuration Parameter. It looks like if could be a resource (in CloudBees-speak), and you could define it as you bind a database to an application. But, an example would be nice, as the existing resource examples (at least the ones I can find) are a bit general.
Also, the output log from my (currently unsuccessful) application startup don't show that DataSourceRealms are being loaded?

So, if anyone's had success with defining DataSourceRealms ina JavaEE stack in CloudBees, I'd appreciate any nudges in the right direction. Thanks for any info.
CloudBees now supports JaaS Authentication and Security Realms on the Glassfish3 and Glassfish4 stacks as documented here:
Glassfish3:
Docs: https://developer.cloudbees.com/bin/view/RUN/Glassfish3_JaaS_Authentication
Demo app: https://github.com/CloudBees-community/glassfish-clickstart
Glassfish4:
Docs: https://developer.cloudbees.com/bin/view/RUN/Glassfish4_JaaS_Authentication
Demo app: https://github.com/CloudBees-community/glassfish4-clickstart
Please not that CloudBees security realms for Glassfish3 and Glassfish4 are exclusively based on JdbcRealms which seems to be your need.
Container based authentication isn't available on CloudBees stacks, but the tomcat6 for legacy reasons. Preferred approach is to instrument application with a security framework (spring-security or any other)

Setup resources for GlassFish2.x Cargo deployment

I'm trying to get integration testing working for a GlassFish 2.x project, using Maven2 and Cargo. I finally have Cargo attempting to deploy my EAR but it fails to start because the data source is not configured. The app also depends on a few JMS queues and a connection factory - how do I add these?
The Cargo Glassfish 2.x plugin says existing configurations are not supported, so I can't do that.
Using the maven-glassfish-plugin is an option, but we also run OC4J so a Cargo solution would be preferred.
edit: The resources are: 1 JDBC connection pool, 1 JDBC resource, 4 JMS queues, 2 JMS connection factories and a custom security realm (pear tree optional). The realm needs an entry in the login.conf like:
myRealm {
uk.co.mycom.MyGlassFishLoginModule required;
};
I'm not sure (I never used this) but IIRC, you should be able to put your datasource configuration in a sun-resources.xml file and package it under META-INF/sun-resources.xml in your EAR and GlassFish is supposed to create the resources at deploy time.
Here is an example sun-resources.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Domain//EN" "sun-resources_1_3.dtd">
<resources>
<jdbc-connection-pool name="SPECjPool" steady-pool-size="100"
max-pool-size="150" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000"
pool-resize-quantity="2" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300"
is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true"
is-connection-validation-required="false"
connection-validation-method="auto-commit"
fail-all-connections="false"
datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource">
<property name="URL"
value="jdbc:oracle:thin:#iasperfsol12:1521:specdb"/>
<property name="User" value="spec"/>
<property name="Password" value="spec"/>
<property name="MaxStatements" value="200"/>
<property name="ImplicitCachingEnabled" value="true"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
<jdbc-resource enabled="true" pool-name="SPECjPool"
jndi-name="jdbc/SPECjDB"/>
</resources>
Give it a try.
Resources
The sun-resources.xml File
Thanks, that worked. The datasource seems to have gone in okay and the app has deployed. However from the doc you linked, I can't see how to add the other things I need (edited more detail into my question about these). This solution also means that I will have to (use profiles to?) build my EAR differently for IT, which is imperfect.
I somehow missed that you wanted to create other resources than Datasources and I've seen several threads reporting that the suggested approach won't work with GlassFish v2 for any resources (like JMS resources). My bad.
So, given the current state, your options are (IMO):
contribute to Cargo to provide an "existing" configuration implementation for GlassFish v2
use the maven-glassfish-plugin as you suggested
I don't have any better suggestions.
