JBAS-4960 - broken merge

[adrian.brock]

With the latest change to the JBossWebMetaData, the merge is failing
due to an NPE.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.jboss.metadata.web.jboss.JBossWebMetaData.merge(JBossWebMetaData.java:1051)
 at org.jboss.metadata.web.jboss.JBossWebMetaData.merge(JBossWebMetaData.java:871)
 at org.jboss.deployment.JBossWebAppParsingDeployer.createMetaData(JBossWebAppParsingDeployer.java:101)

 at org.jboss.deployers.plugins.deployers.DeployerWrapper.deploy(DeployerWrapper.java:169)
 ... 18 more

This is caused by the change in maxActiveSessions:

- private int maxActiveSessions = -1;
+ private Integer maxActiveSessions = null;

breaking this code (line 1051 is the if statement):

 if(override != null && override.maxActiveSessions != -1)
 setMaxActiveSession(override.maxActiveSessions);

I "fixed it" by changing the code to read:

 if(override != null && override.maxActiveSessions != null && override.maxActiveSessions != -1)
 setMaxActiveSession(override.maxActiveSessions);

I also had to "fix" the Tomcat deployer.
Can you check this patch?

Crap. I'm sorry, Adrian; :-( I'd thought I'd tested this against a clean AS checkout, but it seems it wasn't clean.

[adrian.brock]

I think you must have forgetten to commit it to repository.jbosa.com? :-)

But the merge problem was causing one of the tests to fail in the metadata project itself.

[brian.stansberry]

Yeah, no excuse there. I think I'm going to hack my svn client to disallow commits between 6:00 PM Friday and 9:00 AM Monday. The risk/reward ratio is just too high.

[adrian.brock]

Try the following shell script :-)

safecommit.sh

#/usr/bin/sh

makeBloodAlcoholTest.sh && svn commit $@

[brian.stansberry]

LOL. I wish it were so simple. More like:

#/usr/bin/sh

check2YearOldIsNotInOffice.sh && checkWifeIsNotHasslingToGoShopping.sh && svn commit $@

Glad to see that your blood alcohol test doesn't state that high is the incorrect result. :)

Glad to see that your blood alcohol test doesn't state that high is the incorrect result. :)

The test should have some way of connecting to calendar and determine what is the 'appropriate' level, depending on the location. :-)

Hi,

I need a help...

I wil explain the setup 1st....I need to install rhel5 images on some linux boxes.The requirement is that ones the system boots Jboss shud be up and running.Yups.....I have the init script with meto do that.....

But the requirement is to write a script for Jboss clustering so that when the system is booted clustering on jboss is setup and up and running.

So i shud have the init script for service and one more script for automating the cluster in all the nodes.....(may be 2-4 nodes cluster)

Pls if any one has such script or knows some pdf or links kindly send me asap......

i need it urgently....

Regards
Suvra Chakraborty

I don't understand. Starting jboss with the 'all' configuration starts the clustering features.

Please post on the user forum Clustering/JBoss if you need help. This forum is for discussing the internal design of JBoss AS clustering features.
