I have deployed WSO2ISasKM with WSO2APIM and I'm struggling to get the configuration right.
I can see there are a lot of scripts in the ../dbscripts folder. However, since I only share config+governance registry and userdb I created 2 dbs in which I only ran the script wso2is-km-5.7.0\dbscripts\postgresql.sql that created UM_ and REG_ tables. I am keeping the local registry in the WSO2CARBON_DB (H2). Is this correct?
I don't really make any use of scripts about IDENTITY and CONSENT that are shipped with the wso2IS binaries. Where should those scripts be launched?
I'm asking because there are some strange behaviour and errors about content in my logs.
This is how i configured the registry.xml of both IS and APIM:
<currentDBConfig>wso2registry</currentDBConfig>
<readOnly>false</readOnly>
<enableCache>true</enableCache>
<registryRoot>/</registryRoot>
<dbConfig name="wso2registry">
<dataSource>jdbc/WSO2CarbonDB</dataSource>
</dbConfig>
<dbConfig name="sharedregistry">
<dataSource>jdbc/WSO2REG_DB</dataSource>
</dbConfig>
<remoteInstance url="https://fqdn of the IS/APIM:9443/registry">
<id>sharedreg</id>
<cacheId>reg_db_owner#jdbc:postgresql://carbondb.postgresql-wso2.com:5432/wso2_carbon_shared_reg</cacheId>
<dbConfig>sharedregistry</dbConfig>
<readOnly>false</readOnly>
<enableCache>true</enableCache>
<registryRoot>/</registryRoot>
</remoteInstance>
<mount path="/_system/governance" overwrite="true">
<instanceId>sharedreg</instanceId>
<targetPath>/_system/governance</targetPath>
</mount>
<mount path="/_system/config" overwrite="true">
<instanceId>sharedreg</instanceId>
<targetPath>/_system/config</targetPath>
</mount>
This is how datasources got added in master-datasources.xml
<datasource>
<name>WSO2REG_DB</name>
<description>REGDB ON POSTGRES</description>
<jndiConfig>
<name>jdbc/WSO2REG_DB</name>
</jndiConfig>
<definition type="RDBMS">
<configuration>
<url>jdbc:postgresql://carbondb.postgresql-wso2.com:5432/wso2_carbon_shared_reg</url>
<username>wso2</username>
<password>wso2</password>
<defaultAutoCommit>true</defaultAutoCommit>
<driverClassName>org.postgresql.Driver</driverClassName>
<maxActive>50</maxActive>
<maxWait>60000</maxWait>
<testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>
<validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>
<validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>
</configuration>
</definition>
</datasource>
The UM_DB entry is identical but it point to another database.
I also noticed that for REG_DB and UM_DB, with Postgresql-11, I have to set the defaultAutocommit must be set to true to avoid error in writing the registry.
Can you also explain what are the purpose of IDENTITY and CONSENT related tables?I read the docs but couldn't understand the practical use of them.
Thanks in advance.
If you're using APIM with IS as KM, you need to share AM_DB as well. The script is inside dbscripts/apimgt/. That script includes both Identity and Consent scripts. So you can ignore Identity and Consent scripts.

I have a C# ASP.NET project with 15 WCF/ASMX Service References. Each service is deployed to three different servers; test, staging and live.
Often we need to change the URLs of these service references to different servers, to be able to debug using the correct service with the correct implementation and data.
When managing these Service References I'm having a hard time keeping the URL in sync. When creating a Service Reference FooService it stores the URL in three seperate files:
FooService.disco
configuration.svcinfo
Reference.svcmap
Along with creating an endpoint node with the URL in the Web.config.
If I change the endpoint URL in the Web.config and rebuild the project, it doesn't update the URL in the other files, so it's out of sync. So when I right-click the FooService and click Update Service Reference it doesn't use the URL stored in the Web.config, it uses the URL in the other files.
So the only way is to right-click the FooService and click on Configure Service Reference and enter the new URL. But that doesn't always work, because sometimes it creates a new node in Web.config named FooService1, so I get an error when running my application saying that there are two instances of the same endpoints.
So often I need to skim through the Web.config and delete duplicates of endpoints, which is very frustrating.
What is the best way to manage multiple WCF service references when changing the URL to the service often?
First an overview
The way I handle it is to not add the service reference via Visual Studio. What I have is each service has it's own Proxy project in the solution, to proxy is created using a simple one line batch file. Each of these is then included in the website(s) as a "vanilla" reference. The end point is configured manually in the web config. I have three deployment options: Debug (local), Staging and Release. At the web.config level the different addresses are handled by web.config transformations . The proxy project files are configured so that the correct end point address is used depending on the solution configuration. However it is important to note that web.config transformations only apply on publishing the solution.
In pre-VS2010 I had 3 variations of the web.config files which would overwrite the active web.config; however overwriting the web.config in this way always felt "risky" to me. In this case I think that using transforms for publish will still work, but in the actual web.config file have block of connections that you can comment in and out on those occasions when you want to debug the staging or development servers.
I only have 2 services, so my set up was pretty easy, with 15 there will be a fair bit of work involved to set up, but it will save you head aches in the long run.
Implementation
Back Up Everything First!!
Also keep handy a copy of the existing web.config to help with configuring the end points later on.
Also note that the batch files won't work if your solution is in a path with a space in its name, e.g. the default location VS puts its' projects. All my projects are in the following structure C:\Source\vs2008\, C:\Source\vs2010\ etc. I'll see if I can find a better solution for this.
0 Run VisualStudio as an administrator
Right click Visual Studio from the start menu and select "Run as Administrator". We need to do this as VS will be writing files.
1 Delete Existing service references
You shouldn't need any help on this one.
2 Add Proxy Projects
Doing this now means you only need configure the solution for test|staging|live once.
From the File menu select "Add" then "New Project" and from unser the "Visual C#" tmplates select "Class Library" and name it something sensible. I'll be using FooService.proxy for this example. Rename the class file, I'll be using FooService_proxy.cs in this example.
Add the following references to the project:
System.Runtime.Serialization
System.ServiceModel
Add one project for each service. We will comeback and update these projects later.
3 Configure The Solution to handle test|staging|live
I'm assuming you use test when developing the asp.net website on your local machine.
Open the "Configuration Manager" by selecting it in the Build Configuration dropdown menu.
Under the "Active Solution Configuration" dropdown select "New"
For the Name I'd suggest "Staging" and check the "Create new project configurations" check box.
In the Solution Explorer, right click on Web.Config and select "Add config transforms". This will add a new file for the staging web.config transformation. Click the expander arrow and you will see three sub files: Web.Debug.Config, Web.Release.Config, Web.Staging Config.
4 Set Up Proxies
Add a batch file to each proxy project by Clicking on the project in the solution explorer and selecting "Add > New Item". Use a text file and name it "CreateProxy.bat.
Insert the following into the new file and save:
:: ============================================================================================
:: Create the proxy file from the service wsdl
:: Input parameters
:: SDK Path The location of svcutil.exe
:: WSDL File Arg1 (%1)
:: Output Proxy .CS file Arg2 (%2)
::
:: Called by the build process of the BeforeBuild target to re-gen the proxy code.
:: Make sure to change FooService.proxy
:: ============================================================================================
svcutil %1 /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 /serializer:DataContractSerializer /tcv:Version35 /n:*,FooService.Proxy /out:%2
Now right click on the proxy project and click "Unload Project", saving if prompted. This will enable us to get in and modify the project file. Right Click the now greyed out proxy project name and select "Edit".
Add the following just befor the closing </project> tag. Note you may need to change the
path SDKPath depending on your location of svcutil. Also make sure to name FooService_proxy.cs whatever you named the proxy file.
<PropertyGroup>
<!-- These properties are used by the svcutil batch file task in the BeforeBuild Target to regen the proxy code -->
<SDKPath Condition="'$(SDKPath)'==''">C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin</SDKPath>
<WSDLPath Condition="'$(WSDLPath)'=='' and '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">http://[Path to TEST Server Service]</WSDLPath>
<WSDLPath Condition="'$(WSDLPath)'=='' and '$(Configuration)' == 'Staging'">http://[Path to STAGING server Service]</WSDLPath>
<WSDLPath Condition="'$(WSDLPath)'=='' and '$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">http://[Path to LIVE Server Service]</WSDLPath>
<SkipProxyRegen Condition="'$(SkipProxyRegen)'==''">false</SkipProxyRegen>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<Message Importance="normal" Text="Rebuilding the proxy code from batch file '$(ProjectDir)CreateProxy.bat'" Condition="'$(SkipProxyRegen)'=='false'" />
<Exec Command="$(ProjectDir)CreateProxy.bat $(WSDLPath) $(ProjectDir)FooService_proxy.cs" WorkingDirectory="$(SDKPath)" Condition="'$(SkipProxyRegen)'=='false'" />
</Target>
Save the changes and then right click on the greyed out project name and select "Reload Project".
Right click on the project and select build, make sure that your proxy file is now populated.
Set each proxy project so that it always build into only its' \bin directory, e.g. not bin\debug etc. Right click on the proxy project and select "Properties". Select the "Build" tab and change the "Configuration" drop down to "All Configurations". Set the "Output path" to bin\
5 Add Proxy References and End Points To Your Website
Add a reference to each proxy project to your website by right clicking "References > Add reference" and then going to the "Projects" Tab.
Now open up your web.config file and add the bindings, use your previous web.config as a guide.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="fooServiceEndpoint" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
maxBytesPerRead="8192" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
<!-- Insert other binding as required -->
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<!-- Test Server Endpoints - Used for day-to-day development -->
<endpoint address="http:[Path to TEST Server service]"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="fooServiceEndpoint"
contract="FooService.Proxy.IFooService" name="fooServiceEndpoint" />
<!-- Add Other endpoints as required -->
<!-- Staging Server End Points - Used Occasionaly
<endpoint address="http:[Path to STAGING Server service]"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="fooServiceEndpoint"
contract="FooService.Proxy.IFooService" name="fooServiceEndpoint" />
<other end points here too />
-->
<!-- LIVEServer End Points - Used Rarely and with CAUTION
<endpoint address="http:[Path to LIVE Server service]"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="fooServiceEndpoint"
contract="FooService.Proxy.IFooService" name="fooServiceEndpoint" />
<other end points here too />
-->
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
Now you can simply modify the web config with comments depending on which server you want to be debugging on.
6 Set up web.config transformation for deployment
Expand the web.config node in the solution explorer.
Open the web.staging.config file and add the following:
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="http:[Path to STAGING server Service]"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="fooServiceEndpoint"
contract="FooService.Proxy.IFooService" name="fooServiceEndpoint" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
</client>
<!-- Repeat for additional end points -->
</system.serviceModel>
Now add the same to Web.Release.Config changing the paths to tho the LIVE server paths. This will now use the appropriate endpoints when published using the VisualStudio publish command.
E.g. If deploying a STAGING version of the web site, select "Staging" from the Build Configuration drop down. Right click on the WebSite project in the solution explorer and select "Publish". Choose how you wish to publish and click the "Publish" button. The whole solution will then rebuild, proxies will be generated form the Staging server and the web.config file will be published with the Staging setting.
That's it, you're done
You now have proxies that will generate based on your build configuration, one location to change paths via commenting for debugging purposes, and automatic web.config updating on publishing.
Update
Gaui, the OP, has created a small exe that simplifies this somewhat. It is available on GitHub.
I've had a lot of problems with this, too. But I ended up in finding a nice and easy way. My example with a fictious service address:
Create a command line EXE
Add service reference with address https://service.somePortal.com/FooConnector.svc and namespace "MyServiceReference"
Let's say the service is offering an Interface "IFooConnector". Choose OK to generate (a lot of) code to consume the service.
After that, in your App.config file you will see a new serviceModel section:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpsTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://service.somePortal.com/FooConnector.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector"
contract="MyServiceReference.IFooConnector" name="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
You can now use a service method like this:
using TestClient.MyServiceReference;
namespace TestClient
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var client = new FooConnector())
{
client.DoSomething();
}
}
}
}
Now the important part:
To use three inkarnations of the same service, like DEV (Development), TEST (Testing) and PROD (Production) at different addresses, but having the same interface, you only have to manually edit your App.config and use a different constructor to instantiate the client!
Here's the new App.config with the changed serviceModel section:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpsTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://dev-service.somePortal.com/FooConnector.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector"
contract="MyServiceReference.IFooConnector" name="DEV" />
<endpoint address="https://test-service.somePortal.com/FooConnector.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector"
contract="MyServiceReference.IFooConnector" name="TEST" />
<endpoint address="https://service.somePortal.com/FooConnector.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetHttpsBinding_IFooConnector"
contract="MyServiceReference.IFooConnector" name="PROD" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
As you see, we're now having three endpoint sections with different service addresses. I've also changed the endpoints name properties to match my desired DEV, TEST and PROD naming.
To call the required service you can now use a different constructor of the client, having one parameter: string endpointConfigurationName.
So you can now use the same service method in its three inkarnations like this:
using TestClient.MyServiceReference;
namespace TestClient
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var client = new FooConnector("DEV"))
{
//Call method in DEV
client.DoSomething();
}
using (var client = new FooConnector("TEST"))
{
//Call method in TEST
client.DoSomething();
}
using (var client = new FooConnector("PROD"))
{
//Call method in PROD
client.DoSomething();
}
}
}
}
That's it! :-)
P.S.: In my real project, I have an enum user setting to choose DEV, TEST, PROD to change the used service by configuration.
One technique is to get the endpoint and replace the URL in code (e.g., you can do it from a database), with something like this:
endpoint.Endpoint.Address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(remoteUrl);
I have a web site that is just serving as a Remoting Server and has remoting configuration inside its web.config file.
<system.runtime.remoting>
<application>
<service>
<activated type="abc.def.ghi"/>
</service>
<channels>
<channel ref="http" machineName="localhost"/>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>
Besides this web.config file, it has only these files in it:
dataConfiguration.config
enterpriseLibrary.config
log.config
website.publishproj
bin folder - which has the DLLs that are served from this project via remoting
When I build the web site, I receive build error which is:
"object reference not set to an instance of an object".
How can I debug what's causing this error and how to remove it?
Please advise.
The issue is resolved. I had a assembly reference in my web.config where there was a version mismatch between it and the assembly present inside the bin folder:
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89B483F429C47342"/>
This error appears when Target framework is not selected. enter image description here
I've just created a WiX v3.5 installer to install my Web application to IIS7. I have custom actions to allow the user to choose which website and app pool they want and to name the Virtual directory via the dialogs.
But now I've come to authentication and I'm stumped. I am trying to enable impersonation and allow the user to enter their impersonation login and password. I had this working fine in my Visual Studion 2010 setup projects so now I need to replicate the same in WiX.
Aparently this can be done via an appcmd as per this question: Is setting "ASP.NET Impersonation" possible using WiX 3.x with IISExtension? but I can't seem to get this working. Can i add this in my product.wxs and wrap it in a custom action? Any ideas anyone? Any help would be appreciated?
appcmd set config /commit:WEBROOT/section:identity /impersonate:true
Hi I managed to get this working myself , so if anyone else is having the same issue , i fixed this by modifying my web.config during my install:
To do this i added the following code to my product.wsx to edit my web.config , using properties which i assigned to text boxes in a new dialog to allow the user to enter the impersonation username and password on install :
<Component Id="Web.config" Guid="2ED81B77-F153-4003-9006-4770D789D4B6">
<File Id="Web.config" Name="Web.config" Source="$(var.SolutionDir)MyWebApp\Web.config" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" />
<util:XmlFile Id="system.webidentity" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Web.config" Action="createElement" ElementPath="/configuration/system.web" Name="identity" Sequence="1" />
<util:XmlFile Id="system.webIdentityAttribute" Action="setValue" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Web.config" ElementPath="/configuration/system.web/identity" Name="impersonate" Value="true" Sequence="2" />
<util:XmlFile Id="system.webIdentityAttribute2" Action="setValue" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Web.config" ElementPath="/configuration/system.web/identity" Name="password" Value="[IMPERSONATIONUSERPASSWORD]" Sequence="3" />
<util:XmlFile Id="system.webIdentityAttribute3" Action="setValue" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Web.config" ElementPath="/configuration/system.web/identity" Name="userName" Value="[IMPERSONATIONUSER]" Sequence="4" />
Note if you are adding your files automatically to your Wix project using msbuild and heat , you'll have to ensure you arent copying your web.config here , or if you are , remove my web.config your Target settings. Otherwise you'll get duplication errors .

I successfully configured Jboss 7 to work with Oracle 11g by installing the jdbc drivers as a module and adding the datasource definition in the standalone.xml.
However, now I want to move the datasource definition to it's own file which I dropped into the deployments directory.
That resulted in the following failure:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc/MyDatasource -- service jboss.naming.context.java.jboss.jdbc.MyDatasource
Is that not possible anymore with jboss 7?(I believe it used to be the case with jboss 5) Here is how the ds file looks:

I do not know how you are doing the jndi look up,but from the error message it looks you are using the normal (old way) of java:jdbc/DatasourceName instead of the new way java:jboss/datasources/DatasourceName.
I tried xxx-ds.xml for data source configuration.
I got a WARN

So from the message, I confirmed that JBoss7 doesn't support a separate ds file in stadalone mode.
