Re: [SourceJammer-users] sourcejammer installation

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Alex.

First, check your server_sourcejammer.xml file. Is it
where it is supposed to be (in the tomcat/conf
directory)? Is the sourcejammer context correct in
this file? Check the "docBase" path. Also, make sure
that start_sourcejammer.sh is specifying the correct
location for server_sourcejammer.xml.

If none of this helps, please copy the entire output
that you get when you run start_sourcejammer.sh and
send it to me.

Thanks.

[SourceJammer-users] sourcejammer installation

[Alex O. <al...@so...>]

Hi Robert!

Wonder if you can help me.

I'm using Linux RedHat 7.1 and Tomcat 3.2.4 (standalone) with Java
JDK1.3.1. When I try to launch SourceJammer(v 1.1.0):

./start_sourcejammer.sh (->tomcat_sj.sh) I get only messages "Context
manager:Adding context Ctx ( ) (/,/admin,/test,/examples)",
then tomcat processes start and die all of them very quickly
and I never get connection.
When I issue ./stop_sourcejammer.sh I get message:
Stop tomcat. Java.net.ConnectExeption: Connection refused

Whereas regular tomcat (startup.sh -> shutdown.sh) runs merrily...

I seem to follow all the instructions found in README and
SourceJammer-conf.htm  files

(I am resending my message wich I've sent beimg unregistered...)

Best regards,

[SourceJammer-users] List and Delete archives not working in beta 1

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

The 1.2 beta 1 release of the SJ server does not have
the list and delete archive functionality. This was a
mistake on my part. Somehow a slightly out-of-date
version of the .jar file got into the release
packages. I'll do a new release soon to correct this
problem.

[SourceJammer-users] Minor 1.2 Server Script Bug

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

I found a bug in one of the scripts in the 1.2 beta 1
windows server release.

The deploy.bat script has SJDeploymentDescriptor.xml
hard-coded in it. This should be a %1 instead, so you
can pass the individual deploy xml files to the script
as a parameter. You need to deploy 3 files to get 1.2
working:

SJDeploymentDescriptor.xml
UploaderDeploy.xml
DownloaderDeploy.xml

I think the Linux (.sh) version of this script is
correct.

[SourceJammer-users] Visual Diff Tool

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, All.

I just wanted to announce that the next beta release
of the SJ 1.2 client will include a visual diff tool.
Hopefully I'll have this available later today or
tomorrow. It's a pretty cool new feature that I'm sure
some people out there will be happy to have.

The tool is based on the VDiff sample application
available from the JLibDiff project.

[SourceJammer-users] Re: SJ Client/Server 1.2 beta upgrade

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Stan.

I will post a more detailed document about
transitioning from 1.1 to 1.2 soon, either as a readme
in the 1.2 download or on the sourcejammer.org site.
Possibly both.

First of all, though, the first 1.2 beta should be
available sometime today or tomorrow. The big file
issue is largely solved, which is a big victory. A new
level of complexity is added to the file add feature,
though, in that you need to select a history storage
type for binary files when you add them. Hopefully
this will not seem too confusing.

To answer your question, the 1.2 server will require a
1.2 client and vice versa. I'm sorry to keep ducking
out on backward compatibility, but that would make
doing these release so much more complex, and, hey,
I'm only one guy. 

The 1.2 client/server communication is COMPLETELY
different from 1.1. Well, some things are the same,
but the way files are uploaded and downloaded is VERY
VERY different. A whole new set of objects handles
this. I cannot see a reasonable way to make it
backward compatible. Sorry about that.

I would suggest piloting 1.2 beta on a test server to
make sure you like it. (It's much better in a lot of
ways, though, so I'm sure you'll like it better). A
conversion script will be provided to convert your 1.1
archives. You'll want to back everything up before
running the conversion, though, just in case.

I'll send out an announcement when 1.2 beta 1 is out
the door.

A quick list of new feature highlights:

1. Much better and faster file uploading and
downloading, esp. for files over 250 MB.
2. More levels of user permissions. a) Admin users
with all permissions, b) archive controller users who
are in charge of a particular archive, c) archive
users, who can check in/check out on a particular
archive.
3. User management features in the GUI.
4. More secure sessions IDs.

I'm going to add a few more features as we go through
the 1.2 beta process as well, such as deleting
archives and flagging an archive as restricted, which
will prevent read-only access to that archive only.

Thanks for the question, Stan.

I think the problem probably occurs when your non-root
user tries to access files "owned" by your root user.
This is probably the "source.jam" file, which contains
information on what version of each file is contained
in a directory. Every time you add, get, check in, or
check out, the source.jam file is accessed. If the gui
does not find a source.jam in a directory it creates
one. 

My guess is that you are performing some action on a
directory as root that is creating a source.jam file.
Then you log in as a user and that user cannont access
the source.jam file because it is owned by root.

I haven't tried to do this with Linux and x-windows,
but I have run the SJ GUI using terminal services and
Windows and it runs fine. What are the specs of the
remote server you are trying to run the SJ GUI on? I
could be that it does not have enough RAM. Java Swing
(which the GUI is built on) requires 128 MB.

Looks like you really have got your problems
straightened outh, though.

Wow. You are really pushing that poor computer hard.
My understanding is that Java Swing requires or
recommends 128 MB as a minimum. The SJ gui uses Swing,
so you may need 128 MB on the client for decent
performance. But if you find 32 MB works OK, that's
great.

More is definitely better. But how much you need
depends on what you plan to do with SJ -- how much
work you expect it to do.

But generally, I think you'll be fine with a pretty
typical small server setup, either Linux, Win 2000.
Personally, I don't care for Win 98. I'd try to get at
least 128 MB of RAM and 500Mhz of processing power. To
get a box that small you might have to buy a used one.
I haven't worked with anything smaller than that for
quite some time

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

[SourceJammer-users] Re: More troubles

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Daniele.

Could this be a permissions issue? In other words, is
it possible that you have started the sourcejammer
server with a user that does not have the necessary
access rights to the directory that SourceJammer needs
to write the archive data to? 

Check the ownership or read/write priveledges on the 
. . ./server/webapps/sourcejammer/archives and /conf
directories. The user you use to start the server must
have read and write access to both these directories.

Another possibility. How big are the files you are
trying to add to your server? Are they large (over
1MB)? If so, that could have something to do with the
trouble.

Thanks.

Aha!

You are that far along. It's just that the screen
layout is a little out of whack. The entire top half
of the screen is invisible. Well, not actually
invisible, but just sized incorrectly.

Put your mouse over the top of the big text area you
see, just between the text area and the menu bar. Your
mouse should indicate that you can do some resizing.
Resize the text area down. That is, make it smaller.
The top portion of the gui should emerge.

Take a look at the screen shots on
www.sourcejammer.org to get an idea of what the screen
should look like.

Hopefully I'm being clear. It is hard to tell when

Julius.

Select the archive. That is actually the "root"
project for the archive.

In other words, if you see the name of your archive at
the top of the tree-view on the right-hand side with
nothing below it, select it. That's your root project.


Let me know . . .

You can't change the type or description of a file at
this time. Your best bet is to go through and remove
the files you need to change and re-add them.

Do you have any idea about how one would go about
"type sniffing"? I've thought a lot about this and
tried to research it but with no luck. It would be a
big enhancement to the client.

No. Sorry. The command-line client is not as robust as
the gui. The best you can do is addfile * which will
add all the files in the current local directory to
the current project.

For a full list of command line commands and how to
use them, you can type "help" at the command prompt.
You probably figured this out, but I want to have this
advice appear somewhere in my users mail list.

Good question, Daniele.

Yes, it is possible to add an entire tree with one
command. 

1. Create a project that you want to add the entire
tree to.
2. Click on that project.
3. Map the project to the root directory of the tree
on your file system using Project | Set default
directory
4. Click on the project.
5. Click Add File.
6. Notice the check box in the Add files dialog that
says "Add all contents recursively. If you click this
check box and click OK, the entire tree of the
directory will be added to that project. But you if
you do this, all files will in the project will be
added as the same "type" (text or binary, which ever
you select). They will also all receive the same
description.

That's strange. I've never seen that. I have sometimes
seen Swing dialogs not sized correctly on Linux
machines. Is it possible that the dialog is too small
and the yes/no buttons on partially hidden? Try
re-sizing the dialog to see if that helps.

[SourceJammer-users] RE: How do I create a new archive

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Anakreon.

(Sorry about having your names switched before).

Basically, 1) is the local alias you use to refer to
an archive on a server. 2) is the full URL to the
server. 3) is the name of the archive on the server.

Thus, I can create an archive on "myserver" called
"MyArchive" and another archive on "myotherserver"
also called "MyArchive". I can set up local aliases
for both as follows:

1) MyArchive on myserver
2) http://myserver/sourcejammer/servlet/rpcrouter
3) MyArchive

1) MyArchive on myotherserver
2) http://myotherserver/sourcejammer/servlet/rpcrouter
3) MyArchive

Also, there is a reason I require the entire path in
2). The path is actually configurable on the server
side. So it's possible to have a server where the path
is something like:

http://myserver/sj/rpcrouter

Or basically anything else you want. You just have to
know how to configure your servlet container.

I'm not sure I understand you completely. Have you
manually moved, erased, or altered any of the files in
your server's archive directory? If so, then that is
almost certainly the source of your problem.

Again, I'm not sure I understand you. What do you mean
by "the locks are not found"? What "files are in the
archive dir"? What do you mean by "archive dir"? What
exception is thrown?

This means that after you restarted your server, you
have tried to perform some action on the server
("hits") 9 times. But no files or projects have been
added to the cache. This is what I would expect if you
have been unable to connect to any archives.

One other comment. Daniele, you have a tendency in
these messages to provide very few specific details
which makes it difficult for me to figure out exactly
what is going on. Are you able to monitor the messages
printed out by your server? Have you seen the "delete
lock" messages? Do any other messages print out when
you attempt to connect to an existing archive? If so,
please send them. Send any and all error messages that
print out on the client or the server that seem to be
at all related to the problems you are having.

If we can't make any progress, then you may want to
try removing your server installation and installing
the latest server version (1.1.0) and start over
again.

Thanks.

Re: [SourceJammer-users] SourceJammer Linux conversion package

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

It turns out that this is not actually a bug. I set up
the paths like that on purpose because the 1.0 release
did not have "server" in the path, so these config
files should work with a 1.0 release being converted
to 1.1.

[SourceJammer-users] Re: Tomcat OK

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Thanks for the message.

I've found exactly where in the code this exception is
being thrown. This is a strange problem, though. I've
never seen this exception thrown and I have not heard
anyone else report it.

Here's what's happening:

When the server reads information about a file or
project, it reads an xml file about that file/project
into memory and stores it in a cache. When it reads
the xml file, it creates a "lock" file to make sure
that it does not try to read the same file into memory
twice. 

The first thing it does before reading the xml file
into memory is look for a lock file. If it does not
find one, it creates one and reads the file. 

If it does find a lock file, it thrown the exception
you are seeing.

But if there is a lock file, the information it needs
on the file or project should already be in memory, so
it should not even be trying to read the file. So I am
not sure what is happening on your server.

Here is what I would like you to do.

1. Restart your server.
2. Connect to an existing archive on your server.
3. Watch the messages that the server prints out. You
should see a bunch of messages about deleting lock
files. If not, then there is a problem. Let me know.

One other thing. Could you tell me how much RAM you
have on your server? Also, would you hit the following
location with a web browser and tell me what you see:

http://<your site>/sourcejammer/AppStats

Thanks.

Unable to what? Please send the entire message that
you see. It may be helpful to me. And if a message
prints out in the message section of the gui, please
copy that and send it to me as well.

Sometimes, when there is in error in making a
connection, the client gets confused and thinks it is
connected when it is not. This only seems to apply to
the Make New Archive action, though. You many need to
re-start the GUI to make everything right again.

[SourceJammer-users] Re: Tomcat OK

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Daniele.

This error is unrelated to your "can't lock node"
error. The web interface for SJ uses JSP. If you want
to display JSP pages under Tomcat, you need to have
the JDK (and not just the JRE) installed on your
server. The JDK comes with the tools required to
compile Java files to Java classes. If you want to use
the web interface, download the JDK from Sun.

Could you please give me the exact error message you
are seeing? Also, have you tried re-starting your
server? This might clear up the problem.

[SourceJammer-users] Re: Tomcat OK

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Daniele.

This sounds like two separate errors. I'll tackle the
second error first.

The "no class def found" error means that your
classpath is set up wrong for some reason. I think you
may be using one of the beta versions of the Linux
client installation. If so, you may want to download
the latest 1.1.0 linux client.

Anyway, look at your sj_gui file (using vi or some
other text editor). mail.jar needs to be in the
classpath somewhere. The mail.jar file should be in
the same location as activation.jar, soap.jar, and
xerces.jar. If mail.jar is missing from the classpath,
add it. Otherwise, make sure that the path is correct.

As for the first error, can you please give me more
information? Did the server print out a detailed error
message? If so, could you send it to me? Have you been
able to work with the SourceJammer server before now
from a different machine? Did you create an archive,
add files, etc.? If so, can you access the archive OK
from the other machine?

Thanks.
