PostHeaderIcon Display the Unix server name of a Sybase DB

  • Let’s consider a Sybase server on which you are logged.
  • You need know the Unix server name.
  • Launch the SQL query:

select @@servername

PostHeaderIcon SVN repository location change

Case

Your project repository was hosted by a server oldServer. A morning, you come at office, nothing works, impossible to update your project.

After hours searching for an explanation, you happen to know that your dear colleagues off-shore moved the repository onto another location, let’s say newServer.

Now you have to relocate your project on your local desktop.

Fix

Use the following command on your project head folder:

svn switch --relocate svn://oldRepository svn://newRepository

This operation may be performed with TortoiseSVN (right click on the directory > TortoiseSVN > Relocate)

PostHeaderIcon svn: OPTIONS request failed on

Case

IntelliJ IDEA 7.x, version control with Subversion.
When I try to update the project, I get the following error:

Error:svn: unknown host myHost svn: OPTIONS request failed on /myProject/trunk/

On another hand, I can update the project thanks to TortoiseSVN. Then, I conclude the server exists and allows updates.

Fix

Firstly I thought of an issue of proxy, hence check your settings if you face the problem. Else:

  • Shutdown IDEA
  • Delete ~/.IntelliJIdea70/system/caches
  • Restart IDEA

PostHeaderIcon [EJB:011055]Error deploying the EJB

Case

On redeploying the application myFooApplication, this error appears:

[EJB:011055]Error deploying the EJB 'myFooSession(Application: foo-ejbfoo-ear, EJBComponent: foo-foo-services-ejb-0-DEV.jar)', the JNDI name 'ejb.foo.foo-session-bean' is already in use. You must set a different JNDI name in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor for this EJB before it can be deployed.

Fix

  • Stop the server
  • Delete all files and folders in ${WL_HOME}\servers\myFooApplication.
  • Restart the server

You may encounter an error [Deployer:149163]. In this case, I suggest you to consult the related article: The domain edit lock is owned by another session in exclusive mode – hence this deployment operation cannot proceed

PostHeaderIcon Remote debug on Mule 2.2.1

Case

You have to run a standalone Mule 2.2.1 in debug mode. Since Mule is launched in standalone, you have to debug a remote application.

Fix

Nice case

  • Edit the %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf
  • Uncomment the line:
    wrapper.java.additional.<n>=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005
  • Don’t forget to set the parameter <n>

Boring case

In my case (Windows XP SP2, Java 1.5), the Mule refused to start and freezed:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The JVM is being launched with a debugger enabled and could possibly be
suspended.  To avoid unwanted shutdowns, timeouts will be disabled,
removing the ability to detect and restart frozen JVMs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launching a JVM...
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Startup: Timed out waiting for a signal from the JVM.
The JVM was launched with debug options so this may be because the JVM
is currently suspended by a debugger.  Any future timeouts during this
JVM invocation will be silently ignored.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fix this:

  • Download the jar spring-agent here.
  • Move it into %MULE_HOME%/lib/user/
  • Edit the %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf
  • add the following block:
  • wrapper.java.additional.3=-javaagent:%MULE_HOME%\lib\user\spring-agent-2.5.3.jar
    wrapper.java.additional.4=-Xdebug
    wrapper.java.additional.5=-Xnoagent
    wrapper.java.additional.6=-Djava.compiler=NONE
    wrapper.java.additional.7=-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005
  • (by the way, even though properties #3 and #5 are inconsistent, don’t mind)
  • launch the Mule
  • In your IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA), run debug on localhost:5005

PostHeaderIcon TibrvException[error=4,message=Tibrv not initialized]

Case

In a JUnit test, I send a message on a TibcoRV, but I get the following error:

TibrvException[error=4,message=Tibrv not initialized]

Fix

In order, proceed as this:

  1. check an RVD daemon is running 😉
  2. check tibrvj.jar is in your classpath 😉
  3. check the instanciation of transport layer new TibrvRvdTransport(service, network, daemon); is done within your public void testXXX(), and not in the setUp().

PostHeaderIcon Windows Mobile 6.1: which browser?

Here is a short comparative of webbrowsers available on Windows Mobile 6.1. I used them on a Acer X960 on French VirginMobile network.

Browser Pros Cons WebSite
Internet Explorer 5
  • already installed on devices
  • slow
  • no tabs
  • no Flash
  • GMail doesn’t work
  • Micro$oft!
Mozilla Fennec 1.0a1
  • open source
  • tabs
  • very slow
  • very heavy in memory
  • no Flash
  • GMail doesn’t work
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Opera Mobile 10
  • tabs

http://www.opera.com/
SkyFire 1.5
  • GMail works
  • Flash supported
  • speed
  • no tabs
  • confidentiality
  • not open-source
http://get.skyfire.com

As a conclusion, what do I do?

  • In most cases, I use Opera, for its speedness and tabs.
  • When I need watch a video
    • my Acer X960 displays YouTube videos in a specific player
    • on other websites, I use SkyFire.
  • For Google applications (GMail, Reader, Docs, etc.), I use SkyFire, too.

PostHeaderIcon org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader: Ignored XML validation warning org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: SchemaLocation: schemaLocation value = … must have even number of URI’s

Context

Mule 2.2.1 ESB config file with a TibcoRV connector, under Windows XP SP2 and Java 5.
The error happened in this context, yet I assume it would occur in any occurence related to XSD / XML schemas.

Explanation – Fix

Each time, the attribute xsi:schemaLocation must have an even number of lines: a “public” XSD address and a “non-public” one. For non English-fluent speakers, I remind that a number is even if, and only if, it is a multiple of 2 ; otherwise it is odd.

In our case, one line is redundant. To fix this issue, you have to remove the redundant line, and ensure each line belongs to a consistent pair of lines: for instance:

http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/tibcorv/2.2
and

PostHeaderIcon TibrvException[error=901,message=Library not found: tibrvjsd]

Stacktrace

TibrvException[error=901,message=Library not found: tibrvjsd]

and below:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no tibrvjsd in java.library.path

The error appears also with tibrv instead of tibrvjsd.

Context

Mule ESB 2.2.1 using TibcoRV 8.1.2, under Windows XP, with Java 1.5

Explanation – Fix

  • Explanation:
    • the Mule tries to load a DLL, here tibrvjsd.dll. Its path should be available in the property java.library.path.
    • Unlike what may be found on the net, the right DLL cannot be found under
      %TIBRV_HOME%/lib, where only jars are available, not DLLs.
  • Backup the file %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf
  • Edit it
  • After the lines

[java]# Java Native Library Path (location of .DLL or .so files)
wrapper.java.library.path.1=%LD_LIBRARY_PATH%
wrapper.java.library.path.2=%MULE_HOME%/lib/boot[/java]

add the line:

[java]wrapper.java.library.path.3=%TIBRV_HOME%/bin[/java]

PostHeaderIcon Use TibcoRV connector with Mule ESB

Installation

Prerequisites

Priori to following the current tutorial, you must have installed

  • a Java JDK/JRE 1.5+, with a parameter JAVA_HOME already set
  • a TibcoRV 8.1, with a parameter TIBRV_HOME already set. You can consult a short tutorial here to perform this.

Main

  • Get Zip version of “Mule ESB Full Distribution”, version 2.2.1, on this page.
  • Unzip the content in a folder, eg: C:\exe\mule-standalone-2.2.1
  • Add a environment variable MULE_HOME and update your path, eg:
    set MULE_HOME=C:\win32app\mule-standalone-2.2.1
    set PATH=%PATH%;%MULE_HOME%\bin
  • To check the Mule is well installed, you can launch the “Hello World” application:
    %MULE_HOME%\examples\hello\hello.bat

Specific for TibcoRV

  • Get mule-transport-tibcorv-2.2.1.jar, available at this link.
  • Copy it into %MULE_HOME%/lib/mule
  • Get the jar %TIBRV_HOME%\lib\tibrv.jar
  • Copy and rename it into %MULE_HOME%/lib/opt/tibrvj-8.1.2.jar
  • Tip: to know the exact version of the Jar you have just copied, you can open it, explore and decompile the class com.tibco.tobrv.tibrvj_id. The exact version must appear.
  • Copy %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf as %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf.old
  • Edit %MULE_HOME%/conf/wrapper.conf:
    • replace
      wrapper.java.library.path.1=%LD_LIBRARY_PATH%
      wrapper.java.library.path.2=%MULE_HOME%/lib/boot

      with:

      wrapper.java.library.path.1=%LD_LIBRARY_PATH%
      wrapper.java.library.path.2=%MULE_HOME%/lib/boot
      wrapper.java.library.path.3=%TIBRV_HOME%/bin

Here is for the very configuration.

Run TibcoRV

Launch the daemon

Launch the daemon on localhost on port 7580:

%TIBRV_HOME\bin\rvd -http 7580

Launch a listener

Possibly, you can run a listener in a separate frame, in order to double check whether messages are sent and received in the right way, independantly of what happens on Mule side.
Listen to all messages with subject mySubject on localhost:7580

%TIBRV_HOME\bin\tibrvlisten.exe" -network localhost mySubject

Launch the Mule

  • Now run the ESB:
    %MULE_HOME%\bin\mule.bat -config path\to\file\mule-config.xml
  • Send a message:
    %TIBRV_HOME\bin\tibrvsend.exe -network 127.0.0.1  mySubject HelloWorld
  • Expected outputs:
    • On sending frame:
      Publishing: subject=mySubject "HelloWorld"
    • On listening frame:
