Installing GlassFish v2 and v3 Eclipse Plugin

Traditional rituals of installing a plugin depends on using a repository where eclipse can retrieve the available set of packages to update or install. This repository can be an archieve file, a local folder or a server directory on the web, network or anywhere available to access from its URL. In this screenshots, I used Eclipse 3.5.0 and GlassFish 3.0.1

Go to "Help>Install New Software..." then press "Add" button.  Then, set the location field to "http://ajax.java.net/eclipse/" and define a name(optional).

Add Eclipse Repository

First of all, select "Show only the latest versions of available software" in order to select the latest version of plugin; then select the checkbox of "Glassfish Java EE 5 and Java EE 6 support".

Select package to Install

Then, press "Next" button, on the next menu.
Finally, select "I accept the terms..." button, press "Finish" to proceed installation.
Get ready to wait for a while (depends on connection speed but generally too much for a 16 MB file)...
Restart your eclipse with clean attribute e.g. "C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean"
To get full control of glassfish application server and develop-deploy applications to server faster, you can integrate it under the "Servers" menu at your eclipse. In your eclipse, open "Servers" menu, right click "New > Server", select Glassfish (v2 or v3) as shown in below. Press "Next"...

Select new server

Select Java Runtime Environment; i am using GlassFish v3 so directory of JRE 6 is set. Press "Next"...

New Server Config

Then, make your own administration settings with your admin id and password. You SHOULD check "Preserve Sessions Across Redeployment" to update the application content faster.

New Server Authentication Settings

Finish..

Thats All...

SoapUI 4.5.0 Project XML File Encoding Problem

Image
I' ve been already using SoapUI Pro 3.6.1 since license expires. Previous migrations to soapUI newer versions had not caused problems but when starting using SoapUI 4.5.0(free) version resulted destroying existing projects. I checked log file ("C:\...\SmartBear\soapUI-4.5.0\bin\soapui.log") and realised that something went wrong about encoding of soapUI project XMLs. Turkish language characters in wsdl files are located in soapUI project XMLs and they are violating cp1254 character convention and causes below exception log.  java.io.CharConversionException: Malformed UTF-8 character: 0xc5 0x3f at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.piccolo.xml.UTF8XMLDecoder.decode(UTF8XMLDecoder.java:80) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.piccolo.xml.XMLStreamReader$FastStreamDecoder.read(XMLStreamReader.java:762) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.piccolo.xml.XMLStreamReader.read(XMLStreamReader.java:162) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.piccolo.xml.PiccoloLexer.yy_refill(PiccoloLexer.java:3474) at org.apac

COMRESET failed (errno=-32)

Early in the morning, I hit this issue because of putting my nose into boot options. I changed the option form AHCI to RAID then restart but what I see flood of "COMRESET failed (errno=-32)" errors. I immediately restart and rollback my action but this doesnt prevent me from falling into desperate flow of error logs in /var/log/syslog. To solve problem, I make my talisman: used screwdriver to remove dvdrom. Because some ubuntu forum posts mentioning the reason is poor SATA cable connection. In my laptop there is no cable but there is  a socket to easily remove dvdrom. Anyway after removing, start the system and EUREKA the problem logs are gone! I checked mounted disks and validate reading and writing data is ok with some consequent restarts. Then of course I didnt leave the dvdrom empty. I shutdown the system and stick it into place roughly. And now everyone is allright. The lesson do not touch (mess up with) anything if it is working.  :) Aug 10 08:25:09 msi kernel:

SoapUI - Dynamic Properties - Getting Current Time in DateTime Format

Image
SoapUI satisfies the need of testing service oriented applications with test suites that depends on client scenarios. SoapUI enhances its test suite facility with Groovy scripts to create dynamic properties that helps functional testing. The example in soapUI website demonstrates how to retrieve current date in xsd:date format (yyyy-MM-dd). I am not very keen on Groovy but after a bit effort, i implemented this code snippet that returns the current date in xsd:dateTime format. I hope it helps... def dateTimeFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'Z'" def timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Etc/GMT") def dateTimeFormatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(dateTimeFormat) dateTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(timeZone) return dateTimeFormatter.format(new java.util.Date()) SoapUI DataGen Test Suite Facility SoapUI is not only sending-receiving soap messages, great testing environment tools and Groovy script support makes it valueble.Do not commit any implementation
