arsperl-users — Discussions regarding the use of ARSperl

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Axton W Grams/N. <Axt...@ne...>]

Sounds like what you are trying to do is emulate the session pool/proxy 
that the java api provides, using arsperl.  I am not sure how you would 
approach this.  Most interpreted languages have a problem with persistence 
with things like this, unless there is a way to serialize the data.  I'm 
not sure how you could do that with arsperl; just don't have the skills 
and knowledge to work at that level.

I've contributed some to JOARSE, mainly to be compliant with the 7.x api. 
I would not say the project is dead, it has been maintained, but it does 
not have the widespread adoption of things like arsperl.

If you can, I would suggest waiting until 7.1 is released; to see if the 
new java api is all that I am hearing it is.  I am going to take a guess 
that the new java api, if a complete rewrite/rearchitecture will be bug 
ridden for some time, but the best way for things like this to mature is 
for people to use it and report back to the vendor.

That's what I get for writing an email in a hurry :) I wasn't all that
clear on what I was asking.

What I was asking originally was not how to maintain state (that I
knew), what I was wondering was if/how I could use references to a
server-side control record by way of tying it to an http session,
rather than create a new control record on every request. As far as I
can tell, that isn't quite possible in ARSPerl (or, at least I can't
figure out how).

The Java API/JSP/Servlet method was another avenue that I was
considering, but since I know Perl better than Java ("web" Java,
anyway), I started with ARSPerl.

I've been playing with the Java API for a few days now, and I'm
finding that it's not all that easy to use. I saw on ARSWiki that
there is an "api" to the API provided by the JOARSE project. Is anyone
actively using JOARSE or is it kind of a dead project? I was thinking
of writing a layer on top of the BMC Java API to make it easier to
use, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has
already done something similar. I'd even like to contribute to the
project if there's a need.

Thanks for the feedback, by the way; this is exactly the kind of
information I'm looking for.

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Clayton S. <cla...@gm...>]

Mike,

You should be able to stuff the control into a session variable and hang
onto it for the duration
of the session if you are using mod_perl and CGI::Session or
Apache::Session.

One thing that the API is missing (I'm pretty sure that this is a problem
with the ARS API and not perl or a misunderstanding on my part on how it
works.) is a method of checking whether the control record is still valid
according to the server.

Does ars_Login create a persistent connection/session or does it just create
a record that gets passed to the server with each request?

For general perl + web questions I recommend the archives and discussion
groups at perlmonks.org

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Paizo <pai...@gm...>]

i started with joarse and found it very easy to use for learn basic
things...
but its incomplete and with very poor documentation so i swap to perl very
soon.

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Mike W. <mdw...@gm...>]

That's what I get for writing an email in a hurry :) I wasn't all that
clear on what I was asking.

What I was asking originally was not how to maintain state (that I
knew), what I was wondering was if/how I could use references to a
server-side control record by way of tying it to an http session,
rather than create a new control record on every request. As far as I
can tell, that isn't quite possible in ARSPerl (or, at least I can't
figure out how).

The Java API/JSP/Servlet method was another avenue that I was
considering, but since I know Perl better than Java ("web" Java,
anyway), I started with ARSPerl.

I've been playing with the Java API for a few days now, and I'm
finding that it's not all that easy to use. I saw on ARSWiki that
there is an "api" to the API provided by the JOARSE project. Is anyone
actively using JOARSE or is it kind of a dead project? I was thinking
of writing a layer on top of the BMC Java API to make it easier to
use, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has
already done something similar. I'd even like to contribute to the
project if there's a need.

Thanks for the feedback, by the way; this is exactly the kind of
information I'm looking for.

Re: [Arsperl-users] ARSPerl 1.90 setup

[Michiel B. <mic...@ma...>]

Yup, I guess that will be the solution...
There are no 64-bit Remedy libraries available so far, so there is no point
in running 64-bit Perl.
Remedy said their next major release would have 64-bit libraries.

Can someone shed some light on ARSperl setup. I'm new to this as our
previous admin guy is gone without much documentation.  The ARSperl docs
aren't very clear.

=20

We've setup new servers with the latest ARS version as follows:

=20

Our env -  Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition 64bit with AR
server 7.01 p3 using Oracle 10gR2 64bit & email engine 7.01 p3

HPUX 11.31 (IA64) with jakarta tomcat 5.0.28, java 1.4  with midtier
7.0.1 p3.=20

=20

Our thoughts on this is to install Active State's perl 5.8.8.820 (64
bit) on the AR db server as well as ARSperl .

Our previous setup was AR server 6 on HPUX 10.20 and all they had was a
few arsperl 1.71 files (@10 files).   There's allot more when extracting
the 1.9 files.

=20

According to the docs it says to use the Windows binaries from the
distribution so how to I do this. Where to I extract the files too? Is
c:\arsperl-1.90 ok? Any env variables to set?

Any other setup required?=20

Subject: ARSPerl 1.90 setup

=20

=20

Can someone shed some light on ARSperl setup. I'm new to this as our
previous admin guy is gone without much documentation.  The ARSperl docs
aren't very clear.

=20

We've setup new servers with the latest ARS version as follows:

=20

Our env -  Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition 64bit with AR
server 7.01 p3 using Oracle 10gR2 64bit & email engine 7.01 p3

HPUX 11.31 (IA64) with jakarta tomcat 5.0.28, java 1.4  with midtier
7.0.1 p3.=20

=20

Our thoughts on this is to install Active State's perl 5.8.8.820 (64
bit) on the AR db server as well as ARSperl .

Our previous setup was AR server 6 on HPUX 10.20 and all they had was a
few arsperl 1.71 files (@10 files).   There's allot more when extracting
the 1.9 files.

=20

According to the docs it says to use the Windows binaries from the
distribution so how to I do this. Where to I extract the files too? Is
c:\arsperl-1.90 ok? Any env variables to set?

Any other setup required?=20

 Regards,

Norm=20

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Carey M. B. <bla...@gm...>]

Mike,

Ref:
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/session_cookie.html
http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/session-cookies-used-for.html
http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci752450,00.html


IMHO... this is a bad way to keep state for a web site. It is client side
and could present security concerns if your browser is flawed. (Like maybe
the most popular choice... IE.)


If I were you... I would start at a better staring point. Try the Java API
and go to the JSP/Servlet model for this approach. And here are just a few
reasons why:

1) Most ARS customers will have a web server capible of being a Mid-tier
server. (And your interface might be helpful in some cases in addition to
the Mid-Tier.)
2) JSP/Servlets are a "later generation" and approach the web with more
security options by design than CGI's ever had.
3) The Java API will be supported by BMC. ARSPerl never has been directly
supported by Remedy or BMC.
4) The new Java API is reported to be "totally Java" (no more JNI layer) and
that will make such a web interface as portable as any JSP engine out there.
And that will be more portable than any ARSPerl interface could be because
it will still be (as far as I know) a wrapper around the C API that has
limited platform support.

But that might be more work than your interested in too. ( I just think it
is a much better path to go down if you have any time to spend on such a
major undertaking.)

HTH.

AND just to be clear... ARSPerl is great. It has served a very needed niche
in the ARS universe for years and I expect it to continue to do so. A
command line Perl script is likely faster than a command line Java program.
However, there are support and maintenance issues to sort out too. So for
server side command line scripting... ARSPerl is still a good choice. Time
will tell if the new Java API can put a dent in that niche or not. ( And
given the Filter plugin options... command line interfaces mostly should be
moved into that universe anyway.)

Forgive me for being dense, but I don't understand how one would tie a
control record that was created from a login routine, for example, to a
session ID or similar. Given a session ID, how does one tie that to a
control record that has already been created/validated?

In other words, where does the control record "live" and how does one get at
it? Doesn't the control record "disappear" once the web server request is
complete?

Re: [Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface

[Axton W Grams/N. <Axt...@ne...>]

I assume you will be writing the interface as a perl CGI.

Question 1: Using a Session Cookie is one way
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum13/4021.htm
http://jan.newmarch.name/ecommerce/session.html
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=2746

Question 2: mod_perl is an apache thing.  writing your apps as a cgi 
script will ensure that people on any web server capable of cgi can run 
the scripts.  I run the arswiki.org bugzilla app using mod_perl, but it 
was originally run as a cgi.  mod_perl does require much more memory than 
a regular cgi, but on the flip-side, it is also much faster.

[Arsperl-users] Using ARSPerl to Build a Web Interface






Hey all.

So I'm working on a proof of concept idea for myself. I want to look
into rolling my own web interface to Remedy using ARSPerl, and before
I go too far down that road, I wanted to ask everyone to share any and
all experiences (if any) they may have had. I'm fairly familiar with
Perl development for tools and the like, but I'm new to using Perl for
web interfaces (but not web interfaces in general).

Specifically:

1.) How would one go about keeping a user's session in tact? I'd like
to have a control record for each individual user, rather than write
code to always log in to the server with a static username/password,
and then "proxy" that superuser to a "real" user. Is this even
possible/a good idea? Would it be possible to implement this at the
Apache server level using mod_perl or something similar?

2.) (a bit OT): Since I'm new to Perl web development, are there any
sort of best practices or guidelines for Perl web development? Should
I be using mod_perl, CGI, roll my own, etc.?

I've been scanning the mod_perl docs, and that looks promising, but
before I get too deep, I wanted to see if anyone had an opinion about
whether this is even worth the time or not.

Thanks everyone.

Hi Steve,

The ARS libraries are not open source and thus cannot be hosted on
sourceforge, I think.
You do not have to download them from arswiki, you can also copy them from
the api directory of your server installation.

I thought about creating a ppd package which includes the ARS libraries for
easier installation, I will see if I can upload such a package later this
week.

Re: [Arsperl-users] ARSPerl 1.90 setup

[Steve <inf...@gm...>]

Here are the step-by-step instructions to install ARSPERL on Windows.
1) Download and install ActivePERL for windows (google for activeperl).
Install it to C:\PERL folder.
2) Download the "win701p1.tar.gz" file from
http://arswiki.org/projects/arapi/downloads and unzip.
3) In the "win701p1.tar.gz" file, there will be a folder called 'lib'. Copy
all the files (CTRL A + CTRL C).
4) Create a new directory - C:\perl\site\lib\auto\ARS - and paste all the
files copied in Step 3)
5) Download http://remedydeveloper.org/ARSperl_190_701.zip to C:\ drive. and
unzip all contents. There should be a file named 'ARS.ppd'
6) Go to start -> Run and type 'cmd' (Open command prompt). Change directory
to the one containing the 'ARS.ppd' file.
7) Type "ppm install ARS.ppd" and this should install the ARSPERL module.


Doubts
=====
a) What is the purpose of 'win701p2.tar.gz" file present on the arswiki
download page?


Enjoy :-)

Steve.

Norm,

I just created a Windows PPM package you can use; you can download it from
http://remedydeveloper.org/ARSperl_190_701.zip
There is a readme file inside with instructions on how to install.

[Arsperl-users] ARSPerl 1.90 setup

[Dignard, N. <di...@na...>]

On this same subject, where can I find the 1.9 Windows binaries? I can
across a link for 1.84 windows binaries.=20

Can someone shed some light on ARSperl setup. I'm new to this as our
previous admin guy is gone without much documentation.  The ARSperl docs
aren't very clear.

=20

We've setup new servers with the latest ARS version as follows:

=20

Our env -  Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition 64bit with AR
server 7.01 p3 using Oracle 10gR2 64bit & email engine 7.01 p3

HPUX 11.31 (IA64) with jakarta tomcat 5.0.28, java 1.4  with midtier
7.0.1 p3.=20

=20

Our thoughts on this is to install Active State's perl 5.8.8.820 (64
bit) on the AR db server as well as ARSperl .

Our previous setup was AR server 6 on HPUX 10.20 and all they had was a
few arsperl 1.71 files (@10 files).   There's allot more when extracting
the 1.9 files.

=20

According to the docs it says to use the Windows binaries from the
distribution so how to I do this. Where to I extract the files too? Is
c:\arsperl-1.90 ok? Any env variables to set?

Any other setup required?=20

Re: [Arsperl-users] ars_CreateEntry crashing on Windows

[John U. <joh...@cr...>]

We have fixed this by the following change to mallocnn in support.c.

/* malloc that will never return null */
void           *
mallocnn(int s)
{

#ifdef malloc
#undef malloc
#endif

	void           *m =3D malloc(s ? s : 1);

	if (!m)
		croak("can't malloc");

	memset(m, 0, s ? s : 1);

	return m;
}

The Perl malloc macro is undefined and so the platform malloc() is used
instead. All memory allocation for the structures then uses the platform
memory manager and the call to FreeARFieldValueList() works correctly.

Apologies got that wrong. If Perl is compiled to use Perl memory =
allocation
it seems to pick up all memory related functions. So Newz and safefree =
are
also using the Perl memory pool.

I guess that you already knew that!

Subject: Re: [Arsperl-users] ars_CreateEntry crashing perl


This crash is caused because the memory management is incorrect. Memory =
is
allocated for the field values by

     AMALLOCNN(fieldList.fieldValueList,c,ARFieldValueStruct);

and released by a call to

     FreeARFieldValueList(&fieldList, FALSE);

These used to be=20

     Newz(777,fieldList.fieldValueList,c,ARFieldValueStruct);

and=20

     safefree(fieldList.fieldValueList);

I believe that the safefree() was changed to FreeARFieldValueList() =
because
otherwise any memory allocated to the values was never freed. But the =
change
from Newz to ALLOCNN has caused a memory corruption.

AMALLOCNN uses the Perl memory allocation routines and allocates memory =
from
the Perl memory pool. FreeARFieldValueList uses the OS free() function.
Since the memory was not allocated using the OS malloc() a memory =
corruption
occurs, the free'd blocks are added to the OS memory list and then and =
used
by both Perl and the platform. A crash will probably occur soon =
afterwards.

The fix is to put back the Newz or to change AMALLOCNN to use Newz.

Newz() maps onto the OS malloc() and safefree() maps onto the OS free().

Other functions are affected in a similar way to ars_CreateEntry().
