Using Phoenix minimal jar - jar

I want the phoenix client jar without any dependencies to use in my application. Where can I find that? How to confirm that a particular jar is a fat jar?

phoenix-client-jar doesnot have any dependency.. it connects with phoenix-server-.jar which must be copied to all hbase region servers. make sure that your client.jar and server.jar have same version.
<Resource name="jdbc/Phoenix" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="50" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="" password="" driverClassName="com.apache.phoenix.jdbc.PhoenixDriver"
url="jdbc:phoenix:<zookeepr_quoram>:2181"/>

Phoenix client depends on hbase client and zookeeper client jar. So, I think if the phoenix jar file don't include any dependencies, it would not be able to connect to phoenix server.

How do I deploy application classes and Spring config files to Tomcat as a single jar?

Currently I create a new war file for each change but the changes are taking place in only a few classes and the Spring applicationContext.xml.
I would like to just update a jar file that contains these classes and not continually re-deploy hundreds of files that have not changed. I can create the jar easily enough but where do I put it and do I have to tell Spring to look in a specific jar for its' config files?
It is quite impossible to hot-redeploy code in Tomcat without using extra tools like JRebel or custom JVM agents.
But it is possible to modularize you application by:
1: Putting JARs to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. Never do this, this solution is good only for simple cases.
2: Tune context.xml, putting Loader in it, like below:
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/">
<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader" virtualClasspath="${catalina.base}/my-app-plugins/*.jar"/>
</Context>
This will enable you putting JAR file in $TOMCAT_HOME/my-app-plugins and thet will be added to the classpath of you app. You should put context.xml to the src/main/webapp/META-INF folder (Maven layout). However, restart is still needed.
3: Use OSGi. May be an overkill.

include model libraries in appclient jar

I'm deploying an ear with an EJB onto glassfish 3.1 which I want to call using the appclient script.
The EJB has a method with as parameter a model object which is defined in a separate library.
If I want to use the appclient script I have a Main class with a main method which calls the EJB.
This is also put into a separate jar which is also deployed onto glassfish.
As the model object is located in a separate library I need it in the client jar but also in the EJB.
So I need to reference it somehow in the client jar.
The client jar is a jar (duh) so I cannot add other jars. The Java EE 6 docs say that I should create an ear with the libs but if I do that it doesn't deploy because an ear needs at least an ejb or web module and my client lib has neither.
The solution I found is using the assembly plugin/jar-with-dependencies. This plugin creates a new jar which contains all classes of all dependencies.
This solution works but I'm wondering if this is the way to go or I'm missing something obvious because I cannot imagine this is required. EJB's usually have model objects as parameters so this situation will happen a lot.
So my question is: is there a way to tell glassfish to reference the shared libraries between the app client jar and the ejb jar.
The way I do this is like this:
Separate Maven project with the model. In my case that's a bunch of simple POJOs with JPA and JAX-B annotations, some constants, etc. In Maven, I define this as an OSGi bundle, by specifying <packaging>bundle</packaging>. I call this project MyAppInterface.
Separate Maven projects for other elements that need to deal with the model. In my case, I have one Java EE application with EJBs, Database facade, REST servlet; I have an Integration-Test project which only does tests; a GWT application; etc... In those projects I specify the dependency to the model:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.skalio</groupId>
<artifactId>MyAppInterface</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
When deploying MyAppInterface to Glassfish, I use the following syntax:
asadmin deploy --type osgi --name MyAppInterface /path/to/MyAppInterface-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I understand it that this is placing the model on the classpath of Glassfish, similar to a mysql-connector, only OSGi-style.
I let all these projects be built by a central jenkins CI server, which deploys the artifacts to our internal maven repository. We then add the internal repository in pom.xml of each project. As a result, everyone automatically works with the latest stable MyAppInterface, even if they don't have the code checked out in NetBeans / Eclipse.
Let me know if you need more examples.

problem with the injection of an EJB that resides in a jar

I have some problems regarding the EJB injection and I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere.
My situation is the following: I have an EAR file that includes a WAR and several JARs, all listed in the application.xml file. All is working fine for this part.
The problems come out when I try to add what we can call a “plugin system”.
I have a JAR with inside some .xhtml pages, backing beans and EJBs. This JAR, if needed, is inserted inside the EAR in a specific directory (let's call it “plugins”) and is detected from the application at startup.
When the JAR is detected it's path is added to the WAR class loader so all the pages and the backing bean are detected without problems. What is not working is the injection of the EJBs (I tried to use the notation #EJB, #Inject, the lookup...). I can't inject any of the EJBs that is inside the JAR plugin.
My guess is that the application server treats the JAR as a simple library module and doesn't look for any EJB inside it, so they are inside the JAR but not usable from the application.
My question is: there's a way of having this working? I tried to add the JAR in the EAR's MANIFEST.MF but nothing changed...
the application server i'm using is glassfish 3.0. About the application.xml: there's no reference in it about the JARs that are part of what i called "plugin system". This because i detect them when i deploy (or i restart) the application in the application server, so they may or may not be inside the system and i don't really know that before the system is started.
Each plugin JAR is a "collection" of pages and functionalities that can be added or removed from the system dynamically (more less like a real plugin system).
My EAR structure is the following:
MyApp.EAR
META-INF
lib
plugins
plugin1.JAR
app.WAR
logic1.JAR
logic2.JAR
for example: in the application.xml i have the references for app.WAR, logic1.JAR and logic2.JAR (they are always inside the system), at startup the application looks inside the folder "plugins" for any plugin (specific JARs) to be added to the system.
I hope i've been more clear about what i'm trying to do...
It seems that the EJB are not even registered in the JNDI tree of the server. Which application server are you using? You can have a look to this JNDI tree to see if the EJBs are there, but the way to do this depends on the specific server.
How are you declaring the JAR that contains the EJBs in the EAR application.xml?
It should be someting lide this:
<application>
....
<module>
<ejb>nameOfTheJarFile.jar</ejb>
</module>
</application>
The Jar should be in a the "/lib" directory of the EAR.
I hope this helps.

Cleanest Jetty Configuration for Development?

EDIT: I think I should clarify my intent...
I'm trying to simplify the development iteration cycle of write-code >> build WAR >> deploy >> refresh >> repeat. I'd like to be relatively independent of IDE (i.e., I don't want Eclipse or IntelliJ plug-ins doing the work). I want to be able to edit code/static files and build as needed into my WAR source directory, and just have run/debug setup as a command line call to a centralized Jetty installation.
Later I'd like to be able to perform the actual deployment using generally the same setup but with a packaged up WAR. I don't want to have my app code specific to my IDE or Jetty.
So perhaps a better way to ask this question is What have you found is the cleanest way to use Jetty as your dev/debug app server?
Say I want to have a minimal Jetty 7 installation. I want as minimal of XML configuration as possible, I just need the raw Servlet API, no JSP, no filtering, etc. I just want to be able to have some custom servlets and have static files served up if they exist. This will be the only WAR and it will sit as the root for a given port.
Ideally, for ease of deployment I'd like to have the Jetty directory just be the standard download, and my WAR / XML config be separate from these standard Jetty files. In my invocation of Jetty I'd like to pass in this minimal XML and go.
I'm finding that the documentation is all over the place and much of it is for Jetty 6 or specific to various other packages (Spring, etc.). I figure if I have this minimal configuration down then adding additional abstractions on top will be a lot cleaner. Also it will allow me to more cleanly deal with embedded-Jetty scenarios.
This SO question is an example scenario where this XML would be useful Jetty Run War Using only command line
What would be the minimal XML needed for specifying this one WAR location and the hosts/port to serve it?
Thanks in advance for any snippets or links.
Jetty has migrated to Eclipse. There is very subtle info on this. This also led in change in package name, which is another level of nuance. They did publish a util to convert Jetty6 setting to Jetty 7 setting, but again -- not very popular. I am dissapointed from Eclipse Jetty forum. Here is where you should look for documentation on Jetty 7 onwards http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Starting
I think this is the minimal jetty.xml taken from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Reference/jetty.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd">\
<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
</Configure>
But, I would rather like to start from a copy of $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml and would modify from there.
If you are Okay with $JETTY_HOME/webapps directory, you can set up the port by modifying this part
<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
...
<Call name="addConnector">
<Arg>
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
<Set name="host"><Property name="jetty.host" /></Set>
<Set name="port"><Property name="jetty.port" default="7777"/></Set>
<Set name="maxIdleTime">300000</Set>
<Set name="Acceptors">2</Set>
<Set name="statsOn">false</Set>
<Set name="confidentialPort">8443</Set>
<Set name="lowResourcesConnections">20000</Set>
<Set name="lowResourcesMaxIdleTime">5000</Set>
</New>
</Arg>
</Call>
....
</Configure>
Else, I will modify context.xml the way explained here (for Jetty 7) How to serve webbapp A from portA and webapp B from portB
Also refer these pages:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Reference/jetty.xml
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Reference/jetty.xml_syntax
http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/JETTY/JNDI
....
Edit#1: sorry for wrong URL for webapp per connector. I have updated the link to How to serve webbapp A from portA and webapp B from portB to point to the doc that is meant for Jetty 7.
Update on 'how you deal with Jetty on various environments?'
Dev
We use Maven, so embeded Jetty works for us. We just run mvn clean install run:jetty and the port is configured in Maven's config file, namely pom.xml. This is not IDE dependent plus Jetty can easily be embedded using ANT, but I never tried.
Test
We have stand-alone Jetty running. I've configured port and tuned parameters, removed default apps (e.g. root.war etc) and created a context.xml with app specific ports and deployment directory. (Unfortunately, I have asked this question on Eclipse Jetty's mailing list and no one bothered to answer). This is one time setting.
For test builds/deployments, we have a build script that builds the WAR as per test env specs and then uploads it to test environment. After, that we invoke a shell script that (1)stops Jetty, (2) copies war file to myApp's webapp direactory and (3) restarts Jetty.
However, easier way to do this is by using Maven's Cargo plugin. The bad luck was that I was using Jetty 7.1.6 which was incompatible with Cargo. Later they fixed it, but I had got my job done by custom script.
Prod
Prod has almost same procedure as test, except. The tunings are done for higher security and load-balancing. But from deployment POV, there is nothing different from Test case to Prod.
Notice that I have not bothered about what XML files are and how many must be there. I have just used the ones that are my concerns -- jetty.xml and context.xml. Plus, I found it's much cleaner to use jetty.conf and jetty.sh for passing JVM params, custom XMLs and for starting and stopping.
Hope this helps.
On hot deployment:
Now, if you use Maven and use embedded Jetty. It just knows when the code is changed -- like "gunshot sniffer". In dev envt, you run Jetty, make changes, refresh page, and see your changes -- hot deployment. Find more here http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Maven+Jetty+Plugin look for scanIntervalSeconds
This doesn't fully answer your question, but in case it helps, here's some pretty minimal code using embedded Jetty 7 to fire up a server with one root servlet:
HandlerCollection handlers = new HandlerCollection();
ServletContextHandler root = new ServletContextHandler(handlers, "/", ServletContextHandler.NO_SESSIONS|ServletContextHandler.NO_SECURITY);
root.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new MyServlet()), "/*");
Server server = new Server(8080);
server.setHandler(handlers);
server.start();
See of course http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Embedding_Jetty.
If you are building with maven (which is IDE independent) then you should debug with the maven jetty plugin. Basically you run the app as "mvn jetty:run" on the commandline it all just works without having to do any redeployment. Most good IDEs how have maven support built in and lets you run/debug the app as a maven; meaning that maven is run which starts the jetty plugin which starts the app and you can debug it. Since everything is running out of the IDE source and bin folders you don't even need a jetty server install.
Here is a demo project which runs that way https://github.com/simbo1905/ZkToDo2/blob/master/commandline.build.and.run.txt and here is how to run it under eclipse https://github.com/simbo1905/ZkToDo2/blob/master/eclipse.indigo.build.and.debug.txt but any IDE which understands maven should work. Take a look at the pom.xml where it sets up the maven jetty plugin.
I would use Gradle and scan the build output folder every few seconds for changes in the build.
In a build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'jetty'
...
jettyRun.doFirst {
// set system properties, etc here for bootstrapping
}
jettyRun {
httpPort = 8989
reload = 'automatic'
scanIntervalSeconds = 3
daemon = false
}
That's it. You can choose to have the IDE auto-build for you, and point at that directory. But you can also choose not to. This solution is not tied at all to an IDE.
I thought I'd update with what I now do. I've written a tiny command line app / Maven archetype which works like how I thought this all should have in the first place. The bootstrap app lets you launch your servlet container of choice (Jetty, Tomcat, GlassFish) by just passing it the path to the WAR and your port.
Using Maven, you can create and package your own instance of this simple app:
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.duelengine \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=war-bootstrap-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.2.1
Then you launch it like this:
java -jar bootstrap.jar -war myapp.war -p 8080 --jetty
Here's the source for the utility and the archetype: https://bitbucket.org/mckamey/war-bootstrap

How to make an application client jar file for IBM's launchclient

Hi I'm facing with a bug in old ejb application which is deployed on IBM Websphere 6.1. Previously it ran but now it stopped for some reason which I have to investigate.
I'm trying to get it to run locally on my desktop, and I'm trying to access the session bean with IBM's launchclient application. I pass in the ear as the argument (yes that's IBM specific) and the ears contains both the ejb-jar and the ejb-client.jar (also IBM specific).
Launchclient fails with the message: myear does not contain an Application Client jar file. Which may be true, but it does contain the client-ejb jar file, which I even bothered to address with -CCjar=MyEjbClient.jar.
My question is how can I make an application client jar file?
I cant find much information on the launchclient thing, I do have RAD 7.x or something, but to be honest I want to stay away from it as much as possible and it's getting really frustrating.
regards,
PS someone knows a nice NO IBM job?
It is not sufficient to have an ejb-client-jar, you need an application client JAR. Also, -CCjar can only be specified for an application jar (and it's not necessary if you only have one).
To add an application client JAR to an EAR, you need to:
Create a Java class with a traditional main method.
Package the class in a JAR in the EAR.
Add a Main-Class to the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the JAR.
Add a META-INF/application-client.xml file to the JAR.
Add the module to application.xml in the EAR:
<module>
<java>MyClient.jar</java>
</module>
