JVM

Java Provides two types of HotSpot Java Virtual Machine

client VM : client VM is tuned for reducing startup time and memory footprint by invoking the -client JVM .

server VM : server VM is designed for maximum program execution speed by invoking the -server JVM.

JDK :JDK is a collection of tools for deleloping java applications .we can compile programs written in java and run them in jvm.

JRE:JRE consistes java platform core classes and supporting java platform libraries to run java applicaiton on your computer .

JVM :JVM is platform independent execution environment that converts java byte code to machine language and executes .

Reverse Proxy and forward Proxy

What is proxy server ?

Proxy servers is a server receive requests from client and it will forward the request to the origin servers.
Proxy server act as intermidiary between client and other origin servers .
Type of proxy servers :
Reverse proxy :
1)Reverse proxy is a proxy server used to pass the requests from the internet to a private network(intranet).
2)Reverse proxy servers also loadbalancing capabilities to number of backend servers
3)Reverse proxy can also lessen network traffic by servering cached information rather than passing all request to backend server by enabling cache
Forward Proxy :
1)Forward proxy is a proxy server used to pass the requests from the private network(inranet) to internet .
Proxy Chaining :
1)A Proxy chain uses two or more proxy servers .
2)Proxy chaining is not a type of proxy but a use of reverse and forward proxy acress multiple networks.

Tomcat Installation in windows and unix

Tomcat Installation ways for running on different platforms :

Tomcat Installation in windows :
1)Installing Tomcat on Windows using the Windows installer.
It's a Wizard base interface and functionality is similar to other wizard based installers.
. Installation as a service: Tomcat will be installed as a Windows service Using the checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto" startup.

Tray icon: When Tomcat is run as a service, there will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. the tray icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service.
2)Installing Tomcat in windows exatracing the zip file : you can download the tomcat zip file from the apache tomcat mirror and Extract the tomact zip file .
Tomcat Installation on unix :

you can download the tomcat source tarball (apache-tomcat-7.0.50.tar.gz) from the apache tomcat mirror and Extract the tomact zip file as below .
gunzip apache-tomcat-7.0.50.tar.gz
tar -xvf apache-tomcat-7.0.50.tar

Tomcat Configuration Files

As a Tomcat administrators you must familiarize yourself some of the concepts and files about Tomcat Container .

Tomcat Directories and Files :

1)bin - Startup, shutdown, and other scripts.

2)conf - Configuration files and related DTDs. (server.xml , tomct-users.xml , content.xml)

server.xml : The most important file in here is server.xml. It is the main configuration file for the Tomcat container.

tomct-users.xml : Users are defined in tomcat-user.xml file to access the tomcat container manager webapp .

content.xml : The contents of this file will be loaded for each web application .

3)logs - Log files are here by default.

4)webapps - Webapps folder is for deploying you webapps .

All configuration files is read at container startup, that any change to the files restart of the container is necessary to reflect the changes .

Tomcat Installation : http://jeeservers.blogspot.in/2014/01/tomcat-installation-in-windows-and-unix.html

Jenkins Disable Security realm

1)Stop Jenkins server .

2)Edit the config.xml under $JENKINS_HOME.

3)Look for the useSecurity element in the config.xml file.

4)Replace true with false and Remove the elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm.

5) Start Jenkins server.

When Jenkins comes up, you will get full access of the system.

Iplanet Custom Error pages

It is better to send Custom Error page response to Client when webserver encounters the error instead of default Error Pages .


Coming to Iplanet webserver , Error handling is a part of the Request handling process .


Error Directive executes When ever the Iplanet webserver encounters the error during Request process


The following statements are included in the obj.conf file to provide custom Error page for 404 and 500 .


Add the below entry in obj.conf to proivde custom error page for 404 Errors .


Error fn="send-error" code="404" path="D:/webservicesm/IPLANET/https-webservicesm/docs/404status.html"


Add the below entry in obj.conf to proivde custom error page for 500 Errors :


Error fn="send-error" code="500" path="D:/webservicesm/IPLANET/https-webservicesm/docs/500status.html"

TCP connection states

TCP Connection States

STATE	EXPLANATION
SYN_SEND	Indicates active open
SYN_RECEIVED	Server just received SYN from the client
ESTABLISHED	Client received server's SYN and session is established
LISTEN	Server is ready to accept connection
FIN_WAIT_1	Indicates active close
FIN_WAIT_2	Client just received acknowledgment of its first FIN from the server
TIMED_WAIT	Enters this state after active close
CLOSE_WAIT	Indicates passive close. Server just received first FIN from a client
LAST_ACK	Server is in this state when it sends its own FIN
CLOSED	Server received ACK from client and connection is closed

java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.net.http.SOAPHttpsURLConnection

ERROR : java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.net.http.SOAPHttpsURLConnection

The above error may occur while making a HTTP(s) connection to external resource from weblogic server because underline API uses weblogic implementation .

weblogic.net.http.HttpsURLConnection : This class is used to represent a HTTP with SSL (HTTPS) connection to a remote object.

To Overcome the above issue Add the below flag in jvm argument to tell the weblogic server to use the Sun API Http Handlers instead of weblogic API

-DUseSunHttpHandler=true

Change the websphere plug-in log file with out restarting a web server

Normally if you want to delete, move or rename websphere web server plug-in log file, you must stop and start the web servers but UNIX systems to manually switch the web server plug-in over to a new log file, without having to stop the web server using the below steps

1 ) Go to the plug-in logs directory and create a new log file by using the touch command .

2 ) Change the permissions on the new file to 766.

3) Edit the plugin-cfg.xml file and change the log filename to the new filename.

4) Websphere plug-in instance will automatically switch over to the new log file name after "RefreshInterval".

5)Do not edit or delete the old plug-in log file for several minutes as it might still be in use by web server processes.

NOTE :

1) If you are using a multi-processed web server, there is no way of telling when a process will start using the new plug-in log file, because it is triggered from processing a request .

2 After all plug-in instances have switched over to the new log filename, you can delete, move, rename, or zero-out the old plug-in log file, if you want.

Step by step Enabling CGI configuration in Tomcat 6

1)The CGI is a way for a web server to interact with external content-generating programs, which are often referred to as CGI(Common Gateway Interface) programs

2)CGI support can be added when you are using Tomcat as your HTTP server and require CGI support.

3)Tomcat CGI support is implemented using the servlet class org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet. This servlet is mapped to the URL pattern "/cgi-bin/*".

Note : By default CGI support is disabled in Tomcat.

How To Enabe CGI (Common Gateway Interface) :

1) Uncomment the CGIServlet from web.xml file under TOMCAT_HOME/CONF folder that's commented by default .

2) Uncomment mapping for the CGI Gateway servlet from web.xml file under TOMCAT_HOME/CONF folder that's commented by default .

3) Add the priviliged ="true" in context.xml file under TOMCAT_HOME/CONF folder.

iplanet Request-Handling Process (obj.conf):

iplanet obj.conf Request-Handling Process : When Web Server first starts up, it performs some initialization tasks and then waits for an HTTP request from a client (such as a browser). When the server receives a request, it first selects a virtual server. The obj.conf file of the selected virtual server determines how the server handles a request.

The obj.conf file contains a series of instructions known as directives that tell the server what to do at each stage in the request-handling process as below

1.)AuthTrans (authorization translation) : Verify the authorization information (such as name and password) sent in the request.
2.)NameTrans (name translation): Translate the logical URI into a local file system path.
3.PathCheck (path checking): Check the local file system path for validity and check if the requestor has access privileges to the requested resource on the file system.
4.ObjectType (object typing): Determine the Multipurpose Internet Mail Encoding (MIME) type of the requested resource (for example, text/html, image/gif, and so on), and establish other resource-specific settings.
5.Input (prepare to read input): Select filters that will process incoming request data read by the Service step.
6.Output (prepare to send output): Select filters that will process outgoing response data generated by the Service step.
7.Route (request routing): Select the server to service the request.
8.Service (generate the response): Generate and return the response to the client.
9.AddLog (adding log entries):Add entries to log files.

Disabling admin console security for WebSphere Application Server

Disabling global security in the WebSphere Application Server
1) using Websphere Admin console
2) By Editing security.xml file
Procedure :To disable global security, using websphere admin console
1)Login into admin console .
2)Go to the below Navigation
Security--->Global Security--->Administrative security---uncheck the check box
3)Restart the WebSphere Application Server. Global security is now disabled.
Procedure :To disable global security, edit the security.xml file
1)Locate the security.xml file. The file is in the following directory:
WAS_NODE_PROFILE_HOME/config/cells/webservicesm
where WAS_NODE_PROFILE_HOME is the directory of the WebSphere Application Server, and webservicesm is the name of the cell .
2)Edit the security.xml file
Search for the line that begins with the following tag security:Security
In that line, search for the enabled attribute, and change the value to false .
3)Save the security.xml file.
4)Restart the WebSphere Application Server. Global security is now disabled.

HTTP3360: connection limit (xxx) exceeded in iplanet

Where xxx is the queue-size limit for the maximum number of concurrent HTTP connections that can be queued waiting for processing.

The server may also experience a hang or performance slowdown when receiving the HTTPP3360:connection limit (xxx)exceeded

What does the HTTP3360 error mean?

The connection limit is the same thing as the maximum number of threads that are set in the Connection Queue for incoming HTTP requests to be queued waiting for servicing. This is configurable via the thread-pool subelement queue-size via the server.xml configuration file

What is the Connection Limit?

The connection limit is the maximum number of ready connections that can be stored in the Connection Queue for incoming HTTP requests to be queued waiting to be serviced by a worker thread. This connection limit is configurable via the server.xml element thread-pool and its subelement queue-size .

In Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 however, there is not a set default value for queue-size. The queue-size value is determined by the web servers auto-tune algorithm.


Since Web Server 7.0u2, the web server has been enhanced to automatically size the connection queue size and other server variables based on the number of file descriptors that are set on the operating system. The other variables affected by the auto detect feature is the keep-alive maximum number of connections and the maximum files for the file cache. The purpose of this enhancement is to allow the server to maximize and properly partition the file descriptors among the web server subsystems for maximum performance.
Possible Causes :

Here are some possible causes of the "Connection Limit (xxx) exceeded" message:

1. The connection queue limits may be reached as a result of an under tuned web server where the file descriptor limits have not been set for optimal server performance. In this case, we recommend sizing studies be done to determine what is the optimal thread settings to be set on the web server.

2. There may be slow response times from a specific application running on the web server which might result in incoming connections queue up. Eventually, the server reaches a point where all threads on the server are occupied and processing requests a full hang condition occurs.

3. For Web Server versions prior to 7.0u7, there was an auto-tuning bug which would auto tune the queue-size to 1.

Websphere Application Server Multiple Data Centers for High Availability

Active/Passive:
1)One data center is serving requests, the other is not performing work but is standing by in case it is needed. Application data and applicationstate are replicated asynchronously between data centers so that when an outage occurs, failover to the surviving data center can be accomplished quickly witha minimal outage (minimal could mean some number of minutes or even a few hours in this context).

2)It is the easiest and safest to implement since only one is serving requests -- but it is also the most expensive, at least in termsof hardware, since you have two data centers with 100 percent capacity

Active/Active:
1)Both data centers are serving requests. Because each data center is active, application data (minimally) and application state (possibly) must be shared between the data centers, and replication of the application data and application state needs to be synchronous, with a minimal latency, in order to avoiding consistencies.

2)It is slightly more complex than Active/Passive -- but with some additional effort, it can work in a reliable manner .

Reformed Active/Active:
1)The key difference in this variation to Active/Active is that the data centers do not share application state and, if possible, there is no sharing of application data -- or it is at least minimized, if it can't be avoided altogether. For this to work, you need to provide affinity for requests to a specific data center, which is best accomplished with a network switch that distributes the load to the data centers (which, naturally, means it doesn't reside in either data center).

2)is the most complex topology to implement; to do so requires a sizable investment in suitable network capacity between the data centers.

Create a Boot Identity File by using java weblogic.Server for an Administration Server

Boot Identity File by using java weblogic.Server for an Administration Server :
Note: Use this technique only if you invoke the java weblogic.Server command from the command line. If you use a script to start an Administration Server
Oracle recommends that we do not use the technique described in this section for the following reasons:
􀁺 It requires we to store an unencrypted password in the startup script.
􀁺 Each time we run the script, the server boots with the supplied user credentials and then creates a new boot identity file
we can create a boot identity file by invoking the weblogic.Server class directly on the command line and including the following options in the Java command:
-Dweblogic.management.username=our username
-Dweblogic.management.password=our password
-Dweblogic.system.StoreBootIdentity=true These options cause the server instance to boot with the supplied user credentials and then store them in a file named boot.properties
For example, the following command starts an Administration Server named myAdminServer and creates a boot identity file:
java -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic
-Dweblogic.management.password=weblogic
-Dweblogic.system.StoreBootIdentity=true
-Dweblogic.Name=myAdminServer weblogic.Server
For more information about invoking the weblogic.Server class directly from a command line,see weblogic.Server Command-Line Reference in Command Reference.

Integration process for Apache to weblogic

* We have to downloaded and install weblogic serverApplication server, Apache webserver from the official websites
* We want to install apache plug-in file,so that we can avoid port number when accessing the deployed applications
* The steps given below should work for apache 2.x
1. Download the apache server plug in for weblogic from :
http://download.oracle.com/otn/bea/weblogic/server103/WLSWebServerPlugins1.0.1150354-Apache.zip
2. Extract the zip file into your hard disk
3. Make sure you have necessary modules in the extracted zip folder
For eg: mod_wl_220.so under windows folder
4. Verify that plug-in mod_so.c is enabled by typing the following command
$APACHE_HOME \bin\apachetl –l (Unix/linux)
Or
$APACHE_HOME \bin\httpd –l (windows)
Where APACHE_HOME is the directory containing your Apache HTTP Server installation
This lists all enabled modules. If mod_so.c is not listed, you must rebuild apache server to have it enabled
5. Install the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In module for Apache 2.0.x by copying the mod_wl_22.so file to the $APACHE_HOME\modules directory
6. Add the following line to your APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file manually:
LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_22.so
7. Modify the ServerName as your machine ip address.
8. Add the following lines:

WebLogicHost ip_address
WebLogicPort 7001


SetHandler weblogic-handler

10. Verify the syntax of the httpd.conf file with the following command:
$APACHE_HOME\bin\apachectl -t
The output of this command reports any errors in your httpd.conf file or returns:
Syntax OK
11. Re-start Apache server.
12. Test everything by hitting the URL below in the browser:
http://servername/application_name/

ClassPath

ClassPath : Classpath is a parameter, it search for the classes and other resource files in the Java Virtual Machine or the Java compiler where to look for user-defined
* ClassPath can be present at drive/folder/subfolder ..
* Java compiler or runtime environment won’t be able to find the classes unless they are somewhere in the class path
* Multiple entries in the class path are separated by a semicolon on Windows (;) and by a colon on UNIX (:)
* To limit the search to particular locations, Operating System Environment variable CLASSPATH is being used

we can set classpath in following ways:
1.command-line window or Shell --> Temporarily
2.Setting Permanently at the System level (ex. in .profile file) in unix
3. environment variable settings in windows -->Permanently
4.At runtime by specifying the class path each time you start your Java application and the JVM in Unix --> Temporarily
5.Setting the path in Manifest file

Websphere Commmerce Compiling JavaServer Page files

Websphere Commmerce Compiling JavaServer Page files using JspBatchCompiler.sh
Compiling the JavaServer Page (JSP) files in your site or store will significantly reduce the amount of time needed to load your store .

As a result, it is recommended that you batch-compile your store or site JSP files after publishing a store archive and after deploying JSP files to a production environment.

If you are deploying Java EE assets, and those assets contain JSP files, ensure you compile your JSP files. Regardless of whether you deploy a single file, a partial application, or an entire module, you should do this if there are JSP files involved.

Procedure :
1)Go to the following directory: WC_profiledir/bin

2)To compile all WebSphere Commerce JSP files, run the below command

JspBatchCompiler.sh -enterpriseapp.name "WC_instance_name" -webmodule.name "Stores.war" -compileToWebInf false -cell.name " cellname" -node.name " nodename" -server.name "server1"

3)To compile all of the WebSphere Commerce JSP files for your site, omit the -webmodule.name "Stores.war" option.

JDK, JRE, JVM

JVM:Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an abstract computing machine.
JRE:Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is an implementation of the JVM.
JDK:Java Development Kit (JDK) contains JRE along with various development tools like Java libraries, Java source compilers, Java debuggers, bundling and deployment tools.

JDK (Java Development Kit):
1)Java Developer Kit contains tools needed to develop the Java programs, and JRE to run the programs. The tools include compiler (javac.exe), Java application launcher (java.exe), Appletviewer, etc… Compiler converts java code into byte code. Java application launcher opens a JRE, loads the class, and invokes its main method.

2)You need JDK, if at all you want to write your own programs, and to compile the m. For running java programs, JRE is sufficient. JRE is targeted for execution of Java files i.e. JRE = JVM + Java Packages Classes(like util, math, lang, awt,swing etc)+runtime libraries. JDK is mainly targeted for java development. I.e. You can create a Java file (with the help of Java packages), compile a Java file and run a java file.

JRE (Java Runtime Environment):

1)Java Runtime Environment contains JVM, class libraries, and other supporting files. It does not contain any development tools such as compiler, debugger, etc. Actually JVM runs the program, and it uses the class libraries, and other supporting files provided in JRE. If you want to run any java program, you need to have JRE installed in the system .

2)The Java Virtual Machine provides a platform-independent way of executing code; programmers can concentrate on writing software, without having to be concerned with how or where it will run.

3)But, note that JVM itself not a platform independent. It only helps Java to be executed on the platform-independent way. When JVM has to interpret the byte codes to machine language, then it has to use some native or operating system specific language to interact with the system. One has to be very clear on platform independent concept. Even there are many JVMs written on Java, however they too have little bit of code specific to the operating systems.

4)If u just want to run applets (ex: Online Yahoo games or puzzles), JRE needs to be installed on the machine.

JVM (Java Virtual Machine):

1)As we all aware when we compile a Java file, output is not an ‘exe’ but it’s a ‘.class’ file. ‘.class’ file consists of Java byte codeswhich are understandable by JVM.

2)Java Virtual Machine interprets the byte code into the machine code depending upon the underlying operating system and hardware combination.

3)It is responsible for all the things like garbage collection, array bounds checking, etc… JVM is platform dependent.

4)The JVM is called “virtual” because it provides a machine interface that does not depend on the underlying operating system and machine hardware architecture. This independence from hardware and operating system is a cornerstone of the write-once run-anywhere value of Java programs.

5)There are different JVM implementations are there. These may differ in things like performance, reliability, speed, etc. These implementations will differ in those areas where Java specification doesn’t mention how to implement the features, like how the garbage collection process works is JVM dependent, Java spec doesn’t define any specific way to do this.
