How to identify what version jar is running under ColdFusion - jar

How can I update the jar files to the latest version which comes with coldfusion installation? I can see jar files, with different versions, under different locations. How can I confirm which version of the jar is currently running and what are the locations ColdFusion looks for these jars?
For example, in coldfusion\lib I have these jars:
commons-collections.jar
commons-collections.3.1.jar
commons-collections.3.2.jar
Then in another location \Coldfusion\cfusion\lib, I have:
commons-collections.jar
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

what are the locations coldfusion looks for these jars
Generally, ColdFusion searches the following locations for jars:
ColdFusion Class Path (See ColdFusion Administrator > Server Settings > Java & JVM).
Default JVM class path
Dynamic paths specified in THIS.javaSettings (CF10+ only)
what version of the jar in currently running
Usually you can identify the source jar by picking a class likely to exists all versions of that library and checking it with Class.getResource(). For that specific library, CollectionUtils would probably be a good choice, since the API says it has existed since version 1.0.
// Create instance
testClass = createObject("java", "org.apache.commons.collections.CollectionUtils").getClass();
// Convert class name to format: /path/to/TheClassName.class
className = "/"& replace( testClass.name, ".", "/", "all") &".class";
// Display location, or "null" if unknown
location = testClass.getResource( className );
writeOutput( isNull(location) ? "null" : location.toString());
The results will obviously vary, but with my ColdFusion 11 install, the above returns:
org/apache/commons/collections/CollectionUtils.class
jar:file:/c:/ColdFusion/cfusion/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar!/org/apache/commons/collections/CollectionUtils.class

Why does `getResourceAsStream` sometimes load a resource even when there is a typo in the resource path?

I have a Jar (we'll call it a.jar) with a resource in it at path foo/bar.txt and a function as follows:
object FooBarLoader {
fun loadFooBarText() = javaClass.getResourceAsStream("foo//bar.txt")
?.bufferedReader()
?.readLines()
?.joinToString("\n")
}
When I test the function in a unit test (JUnit 4, running with Gradle 6), it loads the text from the resource file despite the obvious typo (the // in the middle of the resource path).
I also have a CLI application (in b.jar) that has a dependency on a.jar. When the CLI application calls loadFooBarText(), it got a null result due to the resource not being found. This was fixed by fixing the typo (// -> /) in the function in a.jar. No other changes were needed to fix it.
So, my question is why did the wrong path work in one situation (unit tests of a.jar) and not the other (call from b.jar)?
How do you run the unit test with a.jar ? Just run it in your IDE or use command java -jar a.jar ?
If you ran it just in IDE,I think difference is the search path between local files and zip files .
Your first application searches the file in your target directory and the second application searches it in the jar which is a compressed file.
When searching files in local path, command will be changed to right one by system.
The two commands below are the same in both Windows/Linux.
cd work//abc/ddd
cd work/abc/ddd
But when searching files in a jar file which is actually compressed zip file, path should be a restrict written or else the program will find nothing.

Vaadin Flow 14, Jetty embedded and static files

I'm trying to create app based on Jetty 9.4.20 (embedded) and Vaadin Flow 14.0.12.
It based on very nice project vaadin14-embedded-jetty.
I want to package app with one main-jar and all dependency libs must be in folder 'libs' near main-jar.
I remove maven-assembly-plugin, instead use maven-dependency-plugin and maven-jar-plugin. In maven-dependency-plugin i add section <execution>get-dependencies</execution> where i unpack directories META-INF/resources/,META-INF/services/ from Vaadin Flow libs to the result JAR.
In this case app work fine. But if i comment section <execution>get-dependencies</execution> then result package didn't contain that directories and app didn't work.
It just cannot give some static files from Vaadin Flow libs.
This error occurs only if i launch packaged app with ...
$ java -jar vaadin14-embedded-jetty-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
... but from Intellij Idea it launch correctly.
There was an opinion that is Jetty staring with wrong ClassLoader and cannot maintain requests to static files in Jar-libs.
The META-INF/services/ files MUST be maintained from the Jetty libs.
That's important for Jetty to use java.util.ServiceLoader.
If you are merging contents of JAR files into a single JAR file, that's called a "uber jar".
There are many techniques to do this, but if you are using maven-assembly-plugin or maven-dependency-plugin to build this "uber jar" then you will not be merging critical files that have the same name across multiple JAR files.
Consider using maven-shade-plugin and it's associated Resource Transformers to properly merge these files.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/resource-transformers.html
The ServicesResourceTransformer is the one that merges META-INF/services/ files, use it.
As for static content, that works fine, but you have to setup your Base Resource properly.
Looking at your source, you do the following ...
final URI webRootUri = ManualJetty.class.getResource("/webapp/").toURI();
final WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
context.setBaseResource(Resource.newResource(webRootUri));
That won't work reliably in 100% of cases (as you have noticed when running in the IDE vs command line).
The Class.getResource(String) is only reliable if you lookup a file (not a directory).
Consider that the Jetty Project Embedded Cookbook recipes have techniques for this.
See:
WebAppContextFromClasspath.java
ResourceHandlerFromClasspath.java
DefaultServletFileServer.java
DefaultServletMultipleBases.java
XmlEnhancedServer.java
MultipartMimeUploadExample.java
Example:
// Figure out what path to serve content from
ClassLoader cl = ManualJetty.class.getClassLoader();
// We look for a file, as ClassLoader.getResource() is not
// designed to look for directories (we resolve the directory later)
URL f = cl.getResource("webapp/index.html");
if (f == null)
{
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to find resource directory");
}
// Resolve file to directory
URI webRootUri = f.toURI().resolve("./").normalize();
System.err.println("WebRoot is " + webRootUri);
WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
context.setBaseResource(Resource.newResource(webRootUri));

Jasper Reports "package net.sf.jasperreports.engine does not exist" exception in JDeveloper 11.1 using WebLogic only in EAR Web Page

I'm using JDeveloper 11.1, Oracle 11 and TIBCO JasperReports 6.0.1.
I'm having problems trying to generate Jasper Reports from my web page (ViewController) while using an ApplicationModule (Model - EJB) for doing that. At the end the PDF file has to be sent via email, that's why I let it into the Model project.
If I execute the ApplicationModule, it works fine, no exceptions, the PDF is very well generated and sent.
However, if I execute the client method since a web page I got this exception :

I'm just pasting a fragment.
I'm using other .jars as POI, for reading .xlsx files and inserting then into database so I don't know why I can access POI without any problem but at the same time I don't have Jasper Reports available.
I have already searched some solutions in the web but nothing solves my problems. I get some information about jdt-compiler but I don't find it into JasperReports suite. My project is really a mess with all these libraries, maybe I'm missing or adding too many ?
My EAR project at the moment is like this :
The EAR\lib:
This is a kind of a problem for jars settings, or something like that. I had already found this page but it is really strange, I don't think that my issue is something so complicated.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/fusionapps.1111/e15524/adv_wls_e.htm
EDIT 1 :
I tried to look to my classpath using this code :
ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs();
for (URL url: urls) {
logger.info(String.format("Classpath: %s.", url.toString()));
}
And I get this output. POI is not here but why, I'm using it without any problems while I'm not been capable of using JasperReports ?
1 ) Is POI.jar by default used in WebLogic 10.3 basic installation ? NO
EDIT 2 :
I've discovered that in WebLogic is necessary to access weblogic.utils.classloaders.GenericClassLoader which sends me all the libraries that belong to this EAR application. Using it, Jasper Reports are available however I don't know what to do to access them successfully...
GenericClassLoader jre = (GenericClassLoader) JREvaluator.class.getClassLoader();
logger.info(String.format("jre: %s, s.", jre, jre.getClassPath()));
Thanks you very much,
Well, as somebody says it was necessary to use jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar. I added it to /lib folder and now it is working.
It's really strange that this .jar is not in the installation product for TIBCO Jasper Reports 6.0.0 actually I descend until JR 3.7.6 which is the lowest version. The file is from 28/12/2008...
Nice...
I used eclipse ecj-4.3.1.jar and it works.
First checks the dependencies of jasperReports - for example version 6.1.0 - https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/6.1.0
With this you can see if there is any dependency that is missing in your lib directory (webApp) or inside your .jar (if it is a main application of java).
That mistake also happened to me, and I solved it by adding dependence
<groupId>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler</groupId>
<artifactId>ecj</artifactId>
<version>4.3.1</version>
I hope it supports you

Flex Localization: Could not find compiled resource bundle

I tried every solution i found in the internet.
Im using flex 4.5, This is what im doing:
created directory locale/en_US in my src directory
add resources.properties file to that directory with some mappings.
add -locale en_US -source-path=./locale/{locale} -allow-source-path-overlap=true to the compile args.
checked in the framework that the en_US locale directory appear.
add metadata:
<fx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("resources")]
</fx:Metadata>
starting the app gives me the exception:
Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'resources' for locale 'en_US'.
This is some of the main solutions i tried:
uncheck "Remove unused RSLs" from the build path.
add the directory as a source path.
using the argument -include-resource-bundles and give my directory here (with using the argument -resource-bundle-list to get all bundles).
Any idea what else can i do?
Here is my structure for a mobile app (Android and iOS):
In src/locale I have 3 subdirs: de_DE, en_US, ru_RU
And in compiler options: -locale=ru_RU,en_US,de_DE -source-path=locale/{locale}
For another mobile app I have:
In src/locale 4 subdirs: en_US, hr_HR, sr_RS, sl_SI.
I had to add the latter 3 dirs with copylocale command.
And in compiler options: -locale hr_HR sr_RS sl_SI en_US -allow-source-path-overlap=true
Both apps work well for me with the latest Apache Flex SDK.
Here is the contents of a src/locale/hr_HR/recources.properties file:
# resources.properties file for locale hr_HR
navbar.tables=Stolovi za igranje:
navbar.all=Svi
navbar.vacant_long=Slobodni
navbar.vacant_short=Slb.
navbar.full_long=Su puni
navbar.full_short=Su puni
comments.good_long=dobri
comments.good_short=Dbr.
comments.bad_long=loši
comments.bad_short=loši
comments.without_long=neutralni
comments.without_short=ntr.
help.title=Pomoć
OK i found a solution here:
http://www.nbilyk.com/flex-localization-example
im really not sure why it should be that difficult.
anyway, if someone ever need a help with that. after you successfully compile the file using ant (like described in the link), if you want to load it dynamcally like i needed just use (for example):
resourceManager.localeChain = ["en_US", "es_ES"];
resourceManager.loadResourceModule("Resources_en_US.swf");
resourceManager.loadResourceModule("Resources_es_ES.swf");
worked well for me, no need to add anything to the compiler args for that solution.
Try using the fully qualified directory path name. If you're using ant you can use ${basedir}/src/locale/{locale}

Setting Jetty resourcebase to static file embedded in the same jar file

I am trying to access static resource (eg. first.html) packed inside the same .jar file (testJetty.jar), which also has a class which starts the jetty (v.8) server (MainTest.java). I am unable to set the resource base correctly.
The structure of my jar file (testJetty.jar):
testJetty.jar
first.html
MainTest.java
==
Works fine on local machine, but when I wrap it in jar file and then run it, it doesn't work, giving "404: File not found" error.
I tried to set the resourcebase with the following values, all of which failed:
a) Tried setting it to .
resource_handler.setResourceBase("."); // Results in directory containing the jar file, D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult
b) Tried getting it from getResource
ClassLoader loader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
File indexLoc = new File(loader.getResource("first.html").getFile());
String htmlLoc = indexLoc.getAbsolutePath();
resource_handler.setResourceBase(htmloc); // Results in D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult\file:\D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult\testJetty1.jar!\first.html
c) Tried getting the webdir
String webDir = this.getClass().getProtectionDomain()
.getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm();
resource_handler.setResourceBase(webdir); // Results in D:/Work/eclipseworkspace/testJettyResult/testJetty1.jar
None of these 3 approaches worked.
Any help or alternative would be appreciated
Thanks
abbas
The solutions provided in this thread work but I think some clarity to the solution could be useful.
If you are building a fat jar and use the ProtectionDomain way you may hit some issues because you are loading the whole jar!
class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm();
So the better solution is the other provided solution
contextHandler.setResourceBase(
YourClass.class
.getClassLoader()
.getResource("WEB-INF")
.toExternalForm());
The problem here is if you are building a fat jar you are not really dumping your webapp resources into WEB-INF but are probably going into the root of the jar, so a simple workaround is to create a folder XXX and use the second approach as follows:
contextHandler.setResourceBase(
YourClass.class
.getClassLoader()
.getResource("XXX")
.toExternalForm());
Or change your build tool to export the webapp files into that given directory. Maybe Maven does this on a Jar for you but gradle does not.
Not unusually, I found a solution to my problem. The 3rd approach mentioned by Stephen in Embedded Jetty : how to use a .war that is included in the .jar from which Jetty starts? worked!
So, I changed from Resource_handler to WebAppContext, where WebAppContext is pointing to the same jar (testJetty.jar) and it worked!
String webDir = MainTest.class.getProtectionDomain()
.getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm(); ; // Results in D:/Work/eclipseworkspace/testJettyResult/testJetty.jar
WebAppContext webappContext = new WebAppContext(webDir, "/");
It looks like ClassLoader.getResource does not understand an empty string or . or / as an argument. In my jar file I had to move all stuf to WEB-INF(any other wrapping dir will do). So the code looks like
contextHandler.setResourceBase(EmbeddedJetty.class.getClassLoader().getResource("WEB-INF").toExternalForm());
so the context looks like this then:
ContextHandler:744 - Started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext#48b3806{/,jar:file:/Users/xxx/projects/dropbox/ui/target/ui-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/WEB-INF,AVAILABLE}
