I have followed this tutorial http://reka-neva.blogspot.ch/2014/08/weblogic-jsf-2-tutorial.html
Deploy the application to a running WLS and test with http://localhost:7001/JSFWeb
You can login using this username/pw: ADMIN/password
The Java code uses the annotations
javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped
javax.enterprise.inject.Model
javax.inject.Inject
javax.enterprise.inject.Produces
On the other hand, much more efficient if this approach https://www.mkyong.com/jsf2/primefaces/primefaces-hello-world-example/
and the code is https://github.com/vernetto/primefaces

javax.transaction.SystemException: SubCoordinator not available
If you see this "javax.transaction.SystemException: SubCoordinator not available" in the logs, AND you have recently moved your domain to new servers, it could very well be that you need to purge your TLOG DB tables (of file store).. in fact, IP address of previous servers is still hardcoded in the TLOG info, so those TX will still linger around failing recovery until the Abandon Timeout is hit (read the "Moving the Server" chapter here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24377/trxman.htm#WLJTA176 " the server identity may no longer match the information stored in the transaction logs"

installing WLS 12.2.1 on Linux RHEL 6.5
Download the generic installer fmw_12.2.1.0.0_wls.jar from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/downloads/index.html and put into /opt/install/
Download Java 8 JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
install this one:
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u65-b17/jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm
rpm -i jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm
you should now find /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65/bin/java
this fails because I don't have X11, so I have to do silent installation the error message is:

no more stinky cmd prompt in Windows: use cmder instead!
http://cmder.net/
Download the "full" edition from https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/releases . Unzip. Run cmder.
If you install the version from the main page you get a "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll missing" error.
It looks definitely more feature-rich than the STINKY cmd prompt from Windows.

How did you implement it? (hint: single consumer)"
How can you see what processes are holding which ports (hint netstat -antpu)
Can you explain something about certificates (SSL technology , hint : public private key)
Can you explain me something about ORM (Object Relational Mapping)
Would you mind to give me a sample of an scenario when you need to use Publish, CallBack and Route actions?
Explain the reason of choosing that action.
Can you explain me how to configure a transactional proxy service? Which are the main OSB actions involved?
Which properties are used? Which Qos will you use?"
Which kind of objects could be handled by OSB from a Java Callout? (hint: primitive types, arrays)
JKS keystore password vs key password
Something for me confusing (I get confused quite easily) is the relation between a JKS keystore password and a key password.
Some facts:
Once you have added a .key into a JKS, you can change the key's PW like this:
You can change the JKS PW like this:
See also the excellent JKS guide and this very good FAQ
This is the keytool doc
Some facts:
- a .key file SHOULD always be protected by password.
- a .jks store SHOULD always be protected by password.
- not necessarily these 2 passwords should match
Once you have added a .key into a JKS, you can change the key's PW like this:
keytool -keypasswd -keystore keystore.jks -alias
You can change the JKS PW like this:
keytool -storepasswd -new new_storepass -keystore keystore.jks

Which wlst.sh?
I have installed only OSB (if you install SOA Suite, you will get more instances of wlst.sh :o) )
cd $ORACLE_HOME
find . -name wlst.sh
./Oracle_OSB1/harvester/wlst.sh
./Oracle_OSB1/common/bin/wlst.sh
./wlserver_10.3/common/bin/wlst.sh
./oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh
So, which one are you supposed to use?
There is also a
./oracle_common/common/bin/setWlstEnv.sh
which is invoked by everybody.
When using OSB, you should use the ./Oracle_OSB1/common/bin/wlst.sh
Remember that you should first change dir:
cd ./Oracle_OSB1/common/bin/
. ./wlst.sh
this gives me a "command not found /bin/java "
So I do
cd $DOMAIN_HOME
. ./setDomainEnv.sh
java weblogic.WLST
cd $ORACLE_HOME
find . -name wlst.sh
./Oracle_OSB1/harvester/wlst.sh
./Oracle_OSB1/common/bin/wlst.sh
./wlserver_10.3/common/bin/wlst.sh
./oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh

Liquibase in Action
Download the product from http://sourceforge.net/projects/liquibase/files/Liquibase%20Core/liquibase-3.1.1-bin.zip/download
Unzip it on your local drive
Type "liquibase" , you will get a pretty help. We learn that we have several areas:
Standard Commands (update, rollback..)
Diff commands
Maintenance Commands
We learn that some parameters are required (changeLogFile, username and pw, DB url) and other optional (drive, logfile...).
All the default parameters can be stored in liquibase.properties. More info here
vi liquibase.properties
I try first an export:
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile="./data/myexportfile.xml" --diffTypes="data" generateChangeLog
you must provide an extension (.xml) in the filename, otherwise you get "Liquibase generateChangeLog Failed: No serializer associated with the filename or extension '/data/myexportfile'"
A sample entry generated is:
The changelog file is a huge file not very easy to read. If I do 2 subsequent changelogs, the differences are many even if schema/data are the same... not very intuitive.
Now I try:
java -jar liquibase.jar updateSQL
Errors:
--changeLogFile is required
I try again:
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile=./data/myexportfile.xml updateSQL
-- Changeset ./data/myexportfile.xml::1395989865665-193::soa (generated)
INSERT INTO PL1_SOAINFRA.BPM_MEASUREMENT_ACTION_SEQ (SEQ_NAME, SEQ_COUNT) VALUES ('ACTION_SEQ', 0);
INSERT INTO PL1_SOAINFRA.DATABASECHANGELOG (ID, AUTHOR, FILENAME, DATEEXECUTED, ORDEREXECUTED, MD5SUM, DESCRIPTION, COMMENTS, EXECTYPE, LIQUIBASE) VALUES ('1395989865665-193', 'soa (generated)', './data/myexportfile.xml', SYSTIMESTAMP, 193, '7:f8ab8f75bd7c0bafd9cd43fd119e4340', 'insert', '', 'EXECUTED', '3.1.1');
so basically for each row in the DB (in this case it's a definition of a sequence, not a row) it produces the SQL and the reference to the changeset element.

Starting a Managed Server with WLST and NodeManager
1) factor out commonly used constants into a setenv.sh file:
2) prepare a NodeManager userConfigFile:
/opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserconfigfile.secure
containing
and a userKeyFile /opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserkeyfile.secure
3) Prepare a startAdmin.py file (in reality it can start ANY server, not only the admin):
#!/bin/sh
#prefix for domain
PREF=osbpr1
Interface=bond0
AdminIP=10.56.5.119
NetMask=255.255.255.0
JAVA_HOME="/opt/oracle/java"
MW_HOME="/opt/oracle/fmw"
WL_HOME="${MW_HOME}/wlserver_10.3"
DOM_HOME=/opt/oracle/domains
LOG_HOME=/var/log/weblogic
# home of certificates
CERT_HOME=/opt/oracle/certs
JAVA_VERSION=java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.29.x86_64
2) prepare a NodeManager userConfigFile:
/opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserconfigfile.secure
containing
weblogic.management.username={AES}hU8qRGjiFmqK6kHqG8yZlpXTD+KZGjld85q7sIgMP4w\=
weblogic.management.password={AES}xF+6rgG5NqNYBxDzqR/MlLlR1iYSqQezJrJ+Mi52gTc\=
and a userKeyFile /opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserkeyfile.secure
3) Prepare a startAdmin.py file (in reality it can start ANY server, not only the admin):
adminName = sys.argv[1]
domainName = sys.argv[2]
nmHost = sys.argv[3]
nmPort = '5556'
domHome='/opt/oracle/domains/' + domainName
print nmHost, nmPort, domainName, adminName
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# connect to NodeManager
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nmConnect( userConfigFile=domHome + '/nmuserconfigfile.secure', userKeyFile=domHome + '/nmuserkeyfile.secure', host=nmHost, port=nmPort, domainName=domainName, domainDir=domHome, nmType='plain' )
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# start the server

try:
nmStart( adminName, domHome )
except:
nmDisconnect()

Using Oracle pre-built VM for Oracle VM Manager and Server
No need to install from scratch, you can use these 2 prebuilt VMs:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/template-1482544.html
I download and "import appliance" OracleVMManager3.2.4-b524.ova into VirtualBox. Check that you have 4 GB ram and accept EULA.
Could not start the machine Oracle VM Manager 3.2.4-b524 because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
eth0 (adapter 1)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.
"change network settings" and use "host only network". Assign static IP 10.0.0.50, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1, DNS server 10.0.0.1, hostname = ovmm.my.company.com (maybe also 192.168.56.1 could do for gateway and dns)
OVM should start.
Open firefox, log into https://localhost:7002/ovm/console with admin/Welcome1
If your screen gets locked, remember that ovm password is Welcome1.
Now you can import appliance OracleVMServer3.2.4-b525.ova in VirtualBox.
Could not start the machine Oracle VM Server 3.2.4-b525 because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
eth0 (adapter 1), eth1 (adapter 2)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.
assign "host only" in the vm settings.
Assign static IP 10.0.0.51, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1, DNS server 10.0.0.1, hostname = ovms1.my.company.com
one the OVM Server is up, you can connect from the OVM Manager opening a terminal windowd : ssh root@10.0.0.51 (pw is ovsroot)
In reality one should use IPs in the range 192.168.56.*

Deleting a non empty directory with find -delete
mkdir /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/PippoScripts-1.23
mkdir /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/PippoScripts-1.22
(put some content in both folders)
this will fail:
find /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/ -type d -name "PippoScripts*" ! -name "PippoScripts-1.22" -delete
because find -delete can only remove empty folders (don't try the -maxdepth, -depth, -mindepth, -prune options, they won't work)
For some REALLY weird reason, this command too will fail:
find /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/ -type d -name "PippoScripts*" ! -name "PippoScripts-1.22" -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
find: `/opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/PippoScripts-1.23': No such file or directory
but it actually deletes the PippoScripts-1.23 folder (WEIRD!)
The only way to make it work:
find /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/PippoScripts-1.23 -type f -delete
find /opt/oracle/Pipposcriptsstaging/PippoScripts-1.23 -type d -delete
GIT: First steps with JGit
If you need a Java API for GIT, forget about JavaGit (it's just a wrapper around GIT CLI) and EGit - which internally uses JGit.
http://eclipse.org/jgit/
Useful snippets here https://github.com/centic9/jgit-cookbook
Download the library JAR here org.eclipse.jgit.jar, or if using maven consider using the dependency:
(the jar should end up in \org\eclipse\jgit\org.eclipse.jgit\3.5.0.201409260305-r inside your stink-maven repo)
Looking at the examples, you must have a LOCAL repository.... there doesn't seem to be a way to query a remote repository, like one hosted on Stash, without first doing a git clone.... I look rather for a REST-based API, this one https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/stash-java-client seems quite promising.

Missing JAVA_VENDOR and JAVA_HOME in WebLogic silent installation
in $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/SetDomainEnv.sh I keep finding:
The secret is that you should declare (export) these 2 environment variables BEFORE you run the weblogic installation:
Why those 2 values cannot be part of the silent installer xml, no clue!
Here is the official doc of the silent installer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14142/appendix.htm#WLSIG185
BEA_JAVA_HOME=""
export BEA_JAVA_HOME
SUN_JAVA_HOME=""
export SUN_JAVA_HOME
if [ "${JAVA_VENDOR}" = "Oracle" ] ; then
(and JAVA_VENDOR is not declared, and *_JAVA_HOME is blank... so WLS fails when started complaining about missing JAVA_HOME....)
The secret is that you should declare (export) these 2 environment variables BEFORE you run the weblogic installation:

How to generate a OutOfMemoryError PERMGEN
Inspired by a very interesting presentation by Pierre-Hugues Charbonneau:
I have partially copied his code to generate a OOM PERMGEN:
run it with "java -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:MaxPermSize=64m -Xmx256m ClassLoaderLeak
you will see the PermGen space quickly fill up until you get a OOM error
You should see something like
Now open Eclipse MAT, open the java_pid15744.hprof file and run the Java Basics / Classloader Explorer tool:
You will see several thousands (in my case, 27k) instances of URLClassLoader accumulated in the PERMGEN

ContextClassLoader, SystemClassLoader, CurrentClassLoader
If you run this code as a Java Application (no JEE container):
you get this (parentesis are mine):
that is, in this simple case the SystemClassLoader == ApplicationClassLoader == ContextClassLoader
The first null is because the String class is loaded by the Bootstrap classloader, which is NOT represented as a ClassLoader object. The Bootstrap will then load the Extension CL, who in turn loads the Application CL.
Running a similar code in a JSP is more interesting, because here the JEE container (WebLogic in this case) will add its own CL:
the result is:

Automate mouse click repetitions with Auto Mouse Click
http://www.murgee.com/auto-mouse-click/
First, assign the "find mouse position" to F6 (you don't want to have to manually find a X-Y coordinate...)... and don't forget to define F7 as Stop... all the rest is pretty straightforward. Click on AAutoMouseClick.exe, it doesn't require Admin privileges.

WebLogic: difference between self-tuning-thread-pool-size-max and shared-capacity-for-work-managers
self-tuning-thread-pool-size-max
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/WLACH/pagehelp/Corecoreserverserverconfigtuningtitle.html
shared-capacity-for-work-managers
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24432/overload.htm#CNFGD148
So, the first acts on the MAX NUMBER OF THREADS, the second on the MAX NUMBER OF REQUESTS WAITING IN A QUEUE.
My impression is that finding the right mix for your case might require some tests...
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/WLACH/pagehelp/Corecoreserverserverconfigtuningtitle.html
Sets the maximum thread pool size of the self-tuning thread pool. The self-tuning thread pool starts with the default size of 1. It grows and shrinks automatically as required. Setting this attribute changes the default max pool size. The active thread count will never increase beyond this value. This value defines the maximum number of threads permitted in the server. Note that the server will add threads only if it improves throughput. Measurements are taken every 2 seconds and the decision to increase or decrease the thread count is based on the current throughput measurement versus past values.
shared-capacity-for-work-managers
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24432/overload.htm#CNFGD148
In WebLogic Server, all requests, whether related to system administration or application activity—are processed by a single thread pool. An administrator can throttle the thread pool by defining a maximum queue length. Beyond the configured value, WebLogic Server will refuse requests, except for requests on administration channels. When the maximum number of enqueued requests is reached, WebLogic Server immediately starts rejecting: • Web application requests. • Non-transactional RMI requests with a low fair share, beginning with those with the lowest fair share. If the overload condition continues to persist, higher priority requests will start getting rejected, with the exception of JMS and transaction-related requests, for which overload management is provided by the JMS and the transaction manager. Throttle the thread pool by setting the Shared Capacity For Work Managers field in the Administration Console (see Environments > Servers > server_name > Configuration > Overload). The default value of this field is 65536. Work Managers and Thread Pool Throttling An administrator can configure Work Managers to manage the thread pool at a more granular level, for sets of requests that have similar performance, availability, or reliability requirements. A Work Manager can specify the maximum requests of a particular request class that can be queued. The maximum requests defined in a Work Manager works with the global thread pool value. The limit that is reached first is honored.
So, the first acts on the MAX NUMBER OF THREADS, the second on the MAX NUMBER OF REQUESTS WAITING IN A QUEUE.
My impression is that finding the right mix for your case might require some tests...

In Linux, this is a PER-PROCESS limit! You cannot directly limit the number of Files opened by a User! You can only set a max-processes-per-user with ulimit -u MAX .
to check the actual limits for a process:
cat /proc//limits
cat /etc/security/limits.conf to check the hard limits for all users. If you try to set a ulimit larger than that. you get a ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

ORA-24756: transaction does not exist
Here is the stacktrace:
If you get this error, you must be using Oracle RAC and XA.
You must carefully craft the various timeouts in WebLogic and in Oracle DB.
See Oracle note "Troubleshooting ORA-24756 while Running an XA Program or MSDTC with the Oracle RDBMS (Doc ID 1076242.6)". THE rule is: global transaction timeout < session timeout < distributed_lock_timeout . See also "Recommended Timeout Configuration When Using an External Transaction Processing Monitor and XA with Oracle (Doc ID 338880.1)" .
Each MDB has a specific timeout, but this should not be involved in the issue (this in the weblogic.ejb.jar.xml DD https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs103/ejb/DDreference-ejb-jar.html )
So you should end up with this configuration in config.xml and the "$XA_DATASOURCE"jdbc.xml

Minimalistic Java application to encode/decode in Base64
If your Outlook blocks all kind of attachments, you have here the FINAL resolution to the problem (Outlook doesn't check for Base64 text attachments)
If you put in in Eclipse you get an error, and this is how to solve it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5549464/import-sun-misc-base64encoder-results-in-error-compiled-in-eclipse (it's easier to ignore errors than using an Apache Commons library)
import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class Decoder {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
if (args.length < 3) {
System.out.println("Usage: java EncodeFileWithBASE64 d|e <inputFile> <outputFile>");
return;
}
String op = args[0];
String inputFile = args[1];
String outputFile = args[2];
if (op.equalsIgnoreCase("e")) {
BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
encoder.encode(

new FileOutputStream(outputFile)
);
} else {
BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
decoder.decodeBuffer(new FileInputStream(inputFile),

Web Application for File Upload with streaming
This gives you an entire working example (worth 1000 user manual pages) http://www.codejava.net/java-ee/servlet/apache-commons-fileupload-example-with-servlet-and-jsp .... I have tested it and put in https://github.com/vernetto/WebFileUploader (just git clone it and run it).
Here the user guide of Apache FileUpload module:
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-fileupload/using.html
Create a webapp
Download commons-io jar http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi and commons-fileupload jar http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-fileupload/download_fileupload.cgi and place them in WEB-INF/lib
Well actually rather than putting here snippets of code, here is the whole NON-Streaming example https://github.com/vernetto/WebFileUploader and here the STREAMING example https://github.com/vernetto/WebFileUploaderStreaming
I have tested with a 4GB file and memory occupation on the server (and Garbage Collection) was really minimal... transfer speed was also decent (say 2 minutes for a 4GB file....).
Here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vernetto/WebFileUploaderStreaming/master/WebFileUploaderStreaming.war you can download the war file directly.

WebLogic JNDIServiceLocator
Today there was a JNDI lookup failing across 2 clusters hosted on same machine but different NIC:
The issue is still under investigation... these flags might help:
I could not find documentation of how internally WebLogic implements the RJVM communication protocol...

Lync copy and paste nightmare
Very unfortunately I have to use Lync as a chat platform. Some stuff is pretty cool, but there are 2 TERRIBLE issues:
one is that you select some text (ANY text), copy and paste (in any way you want) and what you paste is A BIG MESS including stuff who is miles away from your selection. I ended up ALWAYS pasting first into notepad, then selectin again only the stuff I need.
the other is that it's TERRIBLY slow (tens of seconds) at delivering messages....sometimes you get the notification that you got a message (often showing the WRONG username as author), then you have to wait patiently many seconds to get the text.
On the whole, I would rather have a less feature-rich chat, but more reliable and fast. This is typical Microsoft product, overloaded with features but clumsy and slow and full of bugs.

Digging in JNDI
JNDI is a bit of a mystery for me...whenever I get an exception like:

I scratch my head ... So I wrote some code to dump the content of the InitialContext (it runs in a EJB timer to avoid having to create a client:
and this is the result:

(I have a stateless EJB "PVStateless" in the same module , implementing a PVStatelessRemote interface.... plus a JMS queue "PVQueue" with JNDI name "jms/PVQueue" and a JMS CF "PVConnectionFactory" with JNDI name "jms/PVConnectionFactory"....
Interesting javadoc http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/naming/Binding.html and http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/naming/InitialContext.html
