[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

Hi Alan,

It looks like when I migrated pebble to git, I forgot to do a git push
--tags, and now I don't have that repo locally anymore, so the tags are
lost :(

I might write a script to calculate them (shouldn't be hard for everything
since we moved to maven, since every tag is associated with a commit saying
"preparing for ... release"), but for now I've tagged the 2.6.4 commit with
pebble-2.6.4 and pushed that.

Cheers,

James

Re: [pebble-user] 2.6.4 changeset number?

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Howdy, I have recently cloned the project using git-flow w/ my Intellij.

My pom.xml file agrees with the pom.xml for Ropers master @ 
https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble/blob/master/pom.xml

<version>2.6.5-SNAPSHOT</version>

There are several unmerged branches probably because the project has 
only recently gone over to a git repo.

I'm not a git expert but Roper moving the project to a git repo is why I 
decided to clone the project.

I use git-flow and so cloning the master gives me a development branch 
by default which I feel much more comfortable with than using any other VCS.

HTH.

[pebble-user] 2.6.4 changeset number?

[Alan B. <ala...@gm...>]

I've made some local changes to pebble that I want to pull forward into 
the 2.6.4 release so I want to pull down 2.6.4 from github, but it isn't 
entirely clear which changeset corresponds to the 2.6.4 release. I 
*think* it's this one, could someone confirm:

https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble/commit/d822d37e7ca1b33dcc3314797f5af3d677218cbf

[pebble-user] 403.jsp and Pebble logging

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hi all, I have been working on a local gitflow branch of Pebble to 
include the twitter4j updateStatus.java code replacing the current code 
in: PostToTwitterBlogEntryListener.post().

I replaced the node in pebble-plugins.xml: <blog-entry-listener> for: 
post-to-twitter values with values to accept the oauth: consumerKey and 
consumerSecret. (working correctly).

mvn package builds successfully w/ 775 tests run w/ no errors.

I am only deploying locally so that may be an issue.

The bigger issue is there are no exceptions thrown only the 403.jsp is 
displayed (error.forbidden): [Sorry, access to this resource is not 
allowed] when I attempt to publish a Blog Entry.

I could attach the debugger remotely but I prefer real-time logs initially.

I have studied the log4j.properties but I don't see any evidence of a 
pebble.log.

Currently, the only logging I have access to is the tomcat /logs directory.

I see there are many log.debug statements in the Pebble code but I don't 
see how to turn this feature on.

Any help on how to test and debug this issue would be very much appreciated.

Regards, David.

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

Does it build when you run mvn package?

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hello James and all readers, I have successfully attained the twitter 
credentials (key, secret, etc.) to post tweets using the twitter4j shell 
scripts: updateStatus.sh, showStatus.sh etc.

The scripts reference the twitter4j 3.0.4 snapshot jar and I have 
included the maven dependency in the clone of the Pebble project for 
twitter4j 3.0.3 so the code referenced by the Yamamoto shell scripts 
should still work.

Using git flow I created a branch under the git development branch with 
the label: twitter4j_updatestatus but now I have a nagging compile time 
complaint from Intellij:

Cannot resolve symbol <StaticPageType> line #140 FileStaticPageDAO.java

Googling the above returns:

http://pebble.sourceforge.net/cobertura/net.sourceforge.pebble.dao.file.StaticPageType.html

I cloned the project I thought correctly from github.

Intellij VCS->git->show current revision returns:

FileStaticPageDAO.java  Current version is 
b670ed79187e11baec7e1beba5c16b213038b8cc.
Modified by James Roper 1/28/11 8:18 AM Update copyright notices

Have I somehow missed a dependency or cloned the wrong revision?

Please advise, David.

Re: [pebble-user] Memory Leak in ContentDecorator

[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

I can never remember how events all work in Pebble, I always have to
relearn it each time.  However, the blog entry should be cloned.  This is
where it is loaded:

https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble/blob/master/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pebble/web/action/ViewBlogEntryAction.java#L70

And here is that method, showing where it is cloned:

https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble/blob/master/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pebble/domain/BlogService.java#L89

I doubt that the RelativeUriDecorator is the source of the problem, because
I use that decorator myself, and I have Pebble running in a JVM with a
relatively small heap (max 128mb, but actually sits at around 60mb), and it
stays running for months without restart, even when blog entries that I've
written make the front page of hacker news or reddit.

If you want to find where the leak is, add this command line option to the
JVM:

-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

This will dump the heap in the running Tomcat directory when the first out
of memory error occurs.  If this directory is not writable, or you want to
write the heap dump somewhere else, then add this option as well:

-XX:HeapDumpPath=/some/path

Having obtained a heap dump, you can then load it into a Java profiler (I
personally use YourKit), find what's taking up the most space, and then
using the paths from gc roots function, find what's holding references to
all the things that are taking up space.

Re: [pebble-user] Memory Leak in ContentDecorator

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hi Mike, in a recent Pebble ML exchange w/ James et. al. I got some 
feedback about implementing twitter4j in Pebble.

I can only +1 your intentions and hope your changes find their way back 
to the repo.

BTW: the Pebble repo is much better now that it is in github thanks to 
James.

A gitflow clone of the Pebble repo makes working on issues very easy and 
safe.

HTH, David.

[pebble-user] Memory Leak in ContentDecorator

[Mike B. <mi...@bf...>]

Hi all

I've been suffering a slow leak on my site for months and have finally got
annoyed enough to try and track it down. It's proving tricky but I think
it's coming from Pebble, specifically the ContentDecorator.

I'm using the SuffixDecorator (which I wrote, coincidentally, but it's not
specific to this class). This modifies the BlogEntry body by calling
BlogEntry.setBody(), which is the normal way of doing things (see
https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble/blob/master/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pebble/decorator/RelativeUriDecorator.java
).

This call to BlogEntry.setBody() fires a PropertyChangeEvent which is
stored in the propertyChangeEvents list in
the net.sourceforge.pebble.domain.Content superclass. However I don't think
that list is being cleared.

It looks to me like it's only cleared when the entry is committed to disk,
but this is a temporary change for display only (to that end I'd query why
a PropertyChange event needs to be fired at all, let alone saved, in this
case).

I'm not 100% sure of this as the traces are necessarily incomplete (this is
on our live site, so I can't trash it by profiling too much). However I
have PropertyChangeEvents that are (a) strongly referenced from only the
propertyChangeEvents list, (b) indicate the "body" property was changed,
(c) that come from a Decorator, not a permanent change (because I didn't
make any) and (d) that are very old. The only place I can find in the
codebase these would be generated is PageBasedContent.setBody().

We have a few articles with maybe 12KB of text - every page view fires this
event, the events stores the old and new values of the body (24KB) and
eventually it adds up and our JVM has to be restarted.

To resolve - well I'm not very familiar with the internals of pebble, but
I'd expect we're decorating a clone of the original BlogEntry rather than
the entry itself? In that case somehow marking this as a transient item
with no need to fire or store PropertyChangeEvents would be the best
solution. But I'm sure James or someone more familiar with the guts will
have a better idea.

Cheers... Mike

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[Christian B. <cbo...@gm...>]

Hi James,

sorry, I should've mentioned that in my previous mail. You can obtain a
permanent access-key+secret with the following steps:

  (1) Log into https://dev.twitter.com
  (2) Choose "My Account" -> "My Applications" from the menu (you need
       to hover over your login-name in the top-right menu bar
  (3) Create a new application, e.g. "my-pebble-blog", specify a URL...

Then you face the "create access token" button, that will allow you to
create an access-key + secret for
your application. I a sense, pebble will then act like an application that
is granted access to your twitter
account.

Best regards,
      Chris

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

The fact is, the code in Pebble that posts to Twitter is only a couple of
lines of code, there's no abstraction layer because none is needed.  Those
few lines of code and can just directly be replaced with code that talks to
a new library.

Now if you have an API key and secret, and an access key and secret, then
the work is really easy, just change the plugins.xml to allow a user to
configure those things, and you're done.  However, getting an access key
and secret is not a straight forward thing, I don't know if Twitter
provides a way to manually get one?  So you would have to implement some
actions in Pebble to do the OAuth dance, and this is where things are
complex.

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hi, pls excuse the top post.

Using Christian's suggestion I created a so-called Twitter app and 
received a consumer key and a consumer secret.

Plugging in the consumer key and secret at the command line:

java -jar twitter4j-2.0.10.jar -Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerKey=[mykey] 
-Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret=[mysecret] 
twitter4j.examples.OAuthUpdate "Hello World"

only returns the following:

Twitter4J 2.0.10

Studying the Pebble code in twitter4j.examples.OAuthUpdate.java I don't 
even understand where the string above is returned so obviously the 
twitter4j.jar is broken and is definitely not supported by Twitter.

The only thing I found supported by Twitter for Java is the old 
kenai.com project hosting now defunct:

http://kenai.com/projects/twitterapime/pages/Home

So answering my own post it appears James is right and there exists no 
straight up API from twitter to perform any type of communication w/ 
Twitter.

There appears to be Ruby, C#, PHP, et. al. support but no Java.

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hi Christian, thnx for the reply.

However, I'm more conflicted then b4 posting this.

Please see below my response to some of your comments.

This is what I have to study this issue:

* A local clone of Pebble from github: 
https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble (thanks to James Pebble is much 
easier to work with than in the past).

* Running: mvn:site run at the command line spits out this: Building 
Pebble 2.6.5-SNAPSHOT

* I have the Pebble clone in my Intellij and this is what I have found 
under Project:External Libraries:
** The twitter4j-2.0.10.jar
** package twitter4j.examples
** public class OAuthUpdate

The class OAuthUpdate method main() has a usage comment that references 
your suggestions below:

Usage: java -Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerKey=[consumer key] 
-Dtwitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret=[consumer secret] 
twitter4j.examples.OAuthUpdate [message]

Though the example code does not look like what you have provided below.

I'm tempted to attempt running the OAuthUpdate main to see what happens 
if I can acquire the tokens from Twitter as specified below.

If I can get the Pebble/Twitter example to work then I would like to 
create a git branch (I'm using gitflow) to tinker with this issue in an

Maybe someone can chime in.

I went to scribd.com (wrong site?).
I'm not the most up-to-date tech guy but I don't see any hint of an API 
or library at scribd (sorry).

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[Christian B. <ch...@jw...>]

Hi David,

the UI way is definitely not the only solution. A few weeks ago I worked
with the twitter API for crawling purposes and had to connect my code to
their API. I used the 'scribe' library to accomplish the oauth stuff.

The only needed pieces have been the 'consumerKey', 'consumerSecret' and
the application tokens 'accessToken' and 'accessTokenSecret'. The UI way
you mentioned is *one* way to obtain a temporary accessToken+secret.

However, you can log into the twitter developer API and create a new
application for yourself. This application will then be equipped with a
permanent access token+secret that you can further use in your API:


    // create a new OAuth service
    //
    authService = new ServiceBuilder().provider(TwitterApi.class)
				.apiKey(consumerKey)
                                .apiSecret(consumerSecret)
                                .build();

    // if you already have the accessToken+secret from the developer
    // API you're done:
    //
    Token token = new Token(accessToken, accessTokenSecret);


Then I accessed the twitter REST API directly. For sure, that's not
as convenient as it should be, but at least it's a way to access Twitter
without the UI solution.


I haven't looked into the pebble code for a long time and do not know
much about it. If it uses the twitter4j library directly, it will be
difficult to modify it. If there is a thin custom layer in between, it
might be possible to extend it with scribd.

Happy new year to all!

Chris

Hi James. Thnx for the reply. I anticipated this answer. Unfortunate. Looking into the Fb and twitter APIs it appears their UI way is the only solution.

Re: [pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

Pebbles support for posting to Twitter was implemented before Twitter
introduced their oauth only authentication policy.  It still tries to use a
username and password, which Twitter now disallows, hence it simply won't
work.  A few years ago I had a look at what it would take to add OAuth
support, and found that the Twitter library that Pebble uses doesn't
support OAuth, and it didn't look like it ever would.  Adding OAuth support
would probably require rewriting that plugin, and would require
implementing new actions to support doing the OAuth dance to get the access
token from Twitter for the account you want to post with.  This is no small
task.

As far as I am aware, Pebble has never supported posting to Facebook.  It
does support commenters getting their username and profile picture from
Facebook automatically associated with their posts, but that's all.  This
is mostly done client side.  Posting to Facebook would require server side
work, and would not be trivial.

What Pebble does support is rendering social links below a blog post, this
includes Twitter and Facebook I think, and when you click them brings up a
popup from those websites that let you share the link to the blog post.
 These links are incredibly out of date, and include links to sites that no
longer exist.  It needs to be updated by someone who is interested in using
these features still.

[pebble-user] Posting to Twitter

[David B. <da...@da...>]

Hi All, in some previous Pebble revision long ago I know that Pebble 
would post to either FB or Twitter.

Looking at the Pebble plugin config and the 2.6.4 sourcecode FB and 
attemping to use a so-called FB app id it appears posting to FB might be 
a longshot for Pebble.

Twitter on the otherhand appears more likely to work since I have been 
able to get some Pebble logs feedback.

If anyone has something to say about the logs posted below please advise.

Thanks in advance, David.

Re: [pebble-user] New features on pebble

Sure thing, I will do that - it's much easier this way. Let me know when
the repo is done so that I can start cloning it.

Thanks for the trouble (And great framework BTW - I haven't had the
opportunity to work with Play yet but I've heard only nice things about it)

Re: [pebble-user] New features on pebble

[James R. <ja...@ja...>]

Hi all,

So here's my status, about 3 months ago I started working full time as an
open source developer on Play Framework.  Previously open source
development was a hobby, something where I could come home and enjoy doing
as something different from the daily grind.  Now it's the last thing I
want to do when I come home :)

So this is what I've done.  I've migrated the Pebble SVN repository to
GitHub.  What this means is that it's now incredibly easy for people to
create pull requests, and for me (and whoever else) to review them/comment
on them/accept them.  It's a much lighter weight workflow than having to
download and apply patches as currently has to be done with SVN, and
encourages more community collaboration.  It also provides a clear way to
accept a new committer/maintainer, once someone has contributed a few good
pull requests, I'm happy to bring them on board as the new maintainer.

The new GitHub repository is https://github.com/pebbleblog/pebble.  I'm
currently pushing the source code there, and will update the website once
that's done.

pieroxy, would you be able to form your changes into a pull request?

Cheers,

James

Re: [pebble-user] New features on pebble

[pieroxy <pi...@pi...>]

No problem, I'm not in a hurry - I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. It's
just not knowing whether someone is going to read my request or not that is
a bit unsettling. Now I'm reassured, thanks ;-)
