greetings all
i have an application which are made with Spring framework and deployed on apache,tomcat
and i see on tomcat manager that there are many un-used sessions in the application
and i want to trace when this session are created and who is creating them, how to do so ?
Make a HttpSessionListener, register it in web.xml (or with annotations, if using servlet 3.0).
the sessionCreated(..) method is triggered whenever a session is created.
You could install either LambdaProbe or it's fork PSIProbe which will give you details such as this. Both are open source products and usage is very similar to the Tomcat Manager.
LambdaProbe does not seem to be maintained any more.
But see the session list screenshot for PSIProbe, you can see the Age and IP of each session.

Trying to figure out how to integrate spring session with an app based on the broadleaf framework and so far it was unsuccessful, tried importing the BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration config but it was to no success. Any ideas on how to make it work?
The BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration class was added primarily to better support multi-session customer assisted shopping for Customer Service Representatives. The instructions for setting up the BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration is in this context. See https://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/enterprise/current/multi-customer-assisted-shopping
If you are trying to introduce distributed session management, BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration is an option but not recommended. We recommend using Memcached with the Tomcat Session Manager. See https://github.com/magro/memcached-session-manager/wiki/SetupAndConfiguration
The configuration for Memcached and Tomcat Session Manager is pretty easy and it works well.
WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 (and some patches ;))
It does not appear that custom JDBC user store managers (child of JDBCUserStoreManager) use a JDBC pool. I'm noticing that I can end up session closed errors and sql exceptions whereas the Identity Server itself is still operating OK with its separate database connection (a configured pool).
So I guess I have two questions about this:
Somewhere up the chain, is there a JDBC pool for the JDBCUserStoreManager? If so, are there means to configure that guy more robustly?
Can I create another JDBC datasource in master-datasources.xml which my custom JDBC user store manage could reference?
Instead of using your own datasources/connections, you can import Carbon Datasources and use those (they come with inbuilt pooling and no need to worry about any configurations etc). You can either access these programmatically by directly calling ndatasource component or access them via JNDI.
To access them directly from ndatasource component:
The dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId>
<artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.ndatasource.core</artifactId>
<version>add_correct_version_here</version>
</dependency>
(You can check repository/components/plugins to find out the correct version for above dependency)
You can inject DataSourceService as in this code (the #scr.reference tag refers to the service you need to inject, this uses maven scr plugin to parse these dependencies when building the bundle).
Note that when you follow this approach you'll have to build the jar as an OSGi bundle as it uses declarative services (and have to place it in repository/components/dropins). Otherwise the dependencies won't be injected at runtime.
Next, you can access all the data sources as:
List<CarbonDataSource> dataSources = dataSourceService.getAllDataSources();
Rajeev's answer was really insightful and helped with investigating and evaluating what I should do. But, I didn't end up using that route. :)
I ended up looking through the Identity Server and Carbon source code and found out that the JDBCUserStoreManager does end up creating a JDBC pool configured by the properties you set for that manager. I had a class called CustomUserStoreConstants for my custom user store manager which had setMandatoryProperty called by default to set:
JDBCRealmConstants.DRIVER_NAME
JDBCRealmConstants.URL
JDBCRealmConstants.USER_NAME
JDBCRealmConstants.PASSWORD
So the pool was configured with these values, BUT that was it...nothing else. So no wonder it wasn't surviving the night!
It turned out that the code setting this up, if it found a value for the JDBCRealmConstants.DATASOURCE in the config params, it would just load up that datasource and ignore any other params set. Seeing that, I got rid of those 4 params listed above and forced my custom user store to only allow having a DATASOURCE and I set it in code with the default JNDI name that I would name that datasource always. With that, I was able to configure my JDBC pool for this datasource with all params such as testOnBorrow, validationQuery, validationInterval, etc in master-datasources.xml. Now the only thing that would ever need to change is the datasource's configuration in that file.
The other reason I went with the datasource in the master-datasources.xml is that I didn't have to decided in my custom user store's code which parameters I would want to have or not have and just manage it all in the xml file easily. This really has advantages with portability of configs and IT involvement for deployments and debugging. I already have other datasources in this file for the IS deployment.
All said, my user store is now living through the night and weekends. :)
I am trying to setup a struts project locally. One way I know to set up JDBC settings as to go to administrative console of websphere and create JDBC provider and JNDI and all. But is there any other way to do in the code itself?
There is some resource reference in web.xml. I am totally new to struts.Please help.
DataSourceAlias
javaxsql.Data...... etc etc
If you configured for WAS 6.1and configuration is good you need to stop and start nodeAgents for the changes to get propagated and test the jdbc connection after restarting.....if it was WAS 8 they will be propagated automatically that means you configured improperly
I've been looking for someone else doing this same thing, but haven't seen a scenario that's quite like this so I thought I'd see if anyone here has any good ideas on how to accomplish this.
My group builds and maintains an open-source neuroimaging data archive tool called XNAT. Previous versions of our application have always required users to run a builder application that took in a build.properties file and used that to initialize the database server configuration, among other things. We're really trying to get down to a single installable war file that we can make available on the NeuroDebian repository. In order to do this, we need to be able to start the application WITHOUT any database configuration information, run through a configuration wizard a la Wordpress or Drupal installations that includes the user inputting the database configuration, and finally setting this configuration information SOMEWHERE and re-starting or re-initializing the application context so that it gets its data source started up, Hibernate entity scans run, all auto-wired or injected dependencies that require the data source or Hibernate transaction manager resolved, and services scanned for #Transactional annotations, and so on.
I can easily see how we can use the new Spring Framework WebApplicationInitializer to detect whether the user has already set up the database configuration and initialize the app properly based on that:
If database has not been configured, create an servlet that just supports the UI for the initialization wizard
If database has been configured, create the regular application context
The problem in the first case is what happens once the user has completed the initialization wizard? We can store the database configuration somewhere and now we're ready to go but... how do we get the regular application context working? Can we just take the code that we'd call in the already initialized scenario and call that? Will that initialize the application properly then, with component scans and so on all being handled or...?
The only solution we have currently is to have the user restart the server manually (it's usually Tomcat) or use the server manager application to restart just our application. That's not very aesthetically pleasing though.
My end goal here will be to write a simple test app that takes in the database credentials and then tries to initialize everything else afterwards, but I'm hoping to see if anyone's thought about this particular issue and/or tried it and has any advice on how to handle it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
the glassfish application server provides a nice monitoring REST interface.
To use it u can enable several monitorable items in the admin console, for example the EJB container. The documentation says, you can retreive EJB-statistics for every deployed application.
If you request a URL like localhost:4848/monitoring/domain1/server/applications/APPNAME/EJBNAME you will get statistics for a given EJB of the application.
Further, there is a possibility to look more deeply into each bean-method of the ejb, for example the executiontime, about which the documentation says:
"Time, in milliseconds, spent executing the method for the last successful/unsuccessful attempt to run the operation. This is collected for stateless and stateful session beans and entity beans if monitoring is enabled on the EJB container."
The problem now is, monitoring is enabled on the EJB-container (Level set to HIGH), but nothing is sampled in any bean-method in any EJB in any deployed application.
Is there something special to do in the bean and/or the glassfish ?
Thanks in advance for help,
Chris
EDIT:
Ok, I noticed something more about that behaviour:
In the server log you get a log message for each deployed EJB like that:
INFO: EJB5181:Portable JNDI names for EJB DataFetcher // ...
If I set the ejb-container monitoring level to HIGH (which is what I want to do), I get the following warning for each deployed EJB, regardless which app I deploy:
WARNING: MNTG0201:Flashlight listener registration failed for listener class : com.sun.ejb.monitoring.stats.StatelessSessionBeanStatsProvider , will retry later
I googled the warning but none of the resulst really help me enabling EJB monitoring...
This seems to be a Bug in Glassfish.
EJB Monitoring is currently not working in 3.1.2.
JIRA issue is already raised: http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-19677
There is nothing "special" to do.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2431/abeea.html
For me it seems as if you probably enabled the monitoring option on the wrong configuration. Please double check.
To get rid of this message you can disable the monitoring on ejb container option below in the image
