Issues and question regarding "Hello Jazz"


Mário Guimarães (6) | asked Feb 19 '08, 12:01 p.m.
Hello,

I've been following through the "Hello Jazz - How to Write a Simple Jazz Component" example using 0.6Beta2a, and I have the following issues (the first one is blocking me):

1) when I run the Junit test I get the following exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No Server Container Descriptors were found on the classpath. Please check that the Jetty bundles are included in your launch or packaging.

In post "Problem during db Init" (https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=599&highlight=server+container+descriptors+classpath)
the same exception is thrown, though in another context outside "Hello Jazz" example.
Despite that, I tried to add to the Junit test plug-in dependencies the plug-in "com.ibm.team.server.embedded.jetty.auth" as suggested in that post, but I cannot find that plug-in (where is it in 0.6Beta2a?).
Still, such plug-in is not mentioned in the "Hello Jazz" example page, ...

Note: if I discard the plugins written as per "Hello Jazz" page, and use the ones in the companying zip file, I get the same error.

What am I doing wrong here?

I also observed that running through "Bonus Client UI Plug-in" I get a dialog with the same error ("No Server Container Descriptors were found on the classpath. Please check that the Jetty bundles are included in your launch or packaging.") when trying to connect to "local:"

2) in the "Workspace Setup - Preparing to Develop a Jazz Client or Jazz Component" page (https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/workspace-setup/index.html), under "Development Eclipse Without Jazz", I cannot find the paths

# \jazz\client\eclipse\jazz\common\eclipse
# \jazz\client\eclipse\jazz\jdt\eclipse

What should I do here for Eclipse?

As such, I tried the example with Jazz Client (i.e., TeamConcert), but got the error above (point 1).

3) For testing the "Hello Jazz" example I've created a test database as suggested for setting up the workspace. I copied the teamserver.properties file into \jazz, and changed "db.jdbc.location" as

com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=D:\\jazz\\testDB

(the two \\ are necessary for Windows, otherwise I get errors) and ran "D:\jazz\server\repotools -createTables ..." under D:\jazz.

My question here is: should I in "VM arguments" (JUnit Plugin launch) use

-Dcom.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=D:\\java\\testDB

or

-Dcom.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=${target_home}/../../testDB

Thanks for your attention and help in advance,

Best Regards
Mrio

Hi Mrio,

On your first question, the quick summary is that the
com.ibm.team.server.embedded.jetty.auth plugin was not included in the
JazzTeamServer zip file for Beta2, instead it is in the JazzJUnitTests
zip file. There is some more context in bug 40919
(https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=40919).

Also the setup doc that HelloJazz links needs to be updated (see bug
42726). For now there is better setup information on the wiki:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ComponentDevelopmentSetup

For HelloJazz you should only need to do the first part of that wiki
(download and unzip the 5 zip files in the same location). I'd also
encourage you to check out the other material on the wiki for component
developers which is rooted at this topic:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ComponentDevelopment

Your second question is also I think due to the out-of-date setup guide.
If you unzip the 5 zip files and then use the default target
platform, HelloJazz should work. If you are really trying to use
Eclipse (without Jazz) as the development environment then I'd recommend
simply setting your target platform to the location of the unzipped Jazz
Eclipse client (\jazz\client\eclipse) and the links files
there should bring everything else into the target platform.

On your third question about the database. Again, the setup doc is
misleading here. HelloJazz doesn't have a storage model, so building a
new database for it is not necessary and the default database (at
\jazz\server\repositoryDB ) will work fine for running
HelloJazz. The default VM arg in the TestHelloJazz.launch points to the
default database using a relative path (and this works for me on Windows).

-Dcom.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=${target_home}/../../server/repositoryDB

But if you want to change this to point to the database you built and
use an absolute path then I think you will need to use the
double-backslash form as you mention (C:\\jazz\\testDB).

Can you reply when you've had a chance to try these suggestions and let
us know if you have success with HelloJazz?

Hi Chris,

I've installed the remaining files and now I can run the Junit test and the gui for Hello Jazz without problems (both using Eclipse and Jazz clients).

However, for some reason I did not understand the gui test worked for me under Jazz client on the first run, and in the following runs, it failed because it was trying to connect via HTTP to my Jazz server despite the fact that my connection was established as ADMIN@local as per the Hello Jazz Gui Test instructions.

However, after some effort to resolve the issue, I remember the old computer trick: "leave the system, enter the system" (don't know if this is how you say in english).

So what I did was to start Jazz (or Eclipse) with an entire new local disk workspace, and then things no longer got errors!

It seems that both in Eclipse or Jazz when "unexplainable bugs" get the way this should be the first attempt to workaround/resolve them. In fact, one bug I got that I could resolve this way was that "Service 'com.example.hellojazz.common.service.IHelloJazzService' is not accessible remotely.". Unfortunately, despite many attempts to uncover what was happening, only a fresh new workpsace resolved these gotchas...

Another 2 points I observed:

a) in the "Error Log" view in Jazz there is lots of "Could not install bundle jazz/foundation/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.log4j_1.2.12 Bundle "org.apache.log4j" version "1.2.12" has already been installed from: update@../../source/server/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.log4j_1.2.12" messages alike. Is this normal for HelloJazz?

b) despite the fact that when running the Hello Jazz Gui test I create a repository connection for "local:", which gets named "ADMIN@local" on the "Team Artifacts" view, when I run action "Call IHelloJazzService" the popup dialog is showing "repository URI: http://localhost:9080/jazz" instead of "repository URI: local:", which is what is referred in the "Hello Jazz" page. However, I'm running using "local:" ...

Thank you for your help,

Best regards
Mrio

Hi Mrio,

The M5 release is this week, so I will review HelloJazz for M5 and
correct it to clear up the confusion. This is being tracked now in
workitems 44635 (for HelloJazz) and 42726 (for the workspace setup doc).
At this point I'm not sure about your questions (a) and (b) ... I'll
try to reproduce them and report on what I see in 44635.

Hi Mrio,

Here is a quick update on what I'm seeing in M5 with respect to your
questions above.

I do see messages in the Error Log like (a). The severity of these
entries is "OK" (not error or warning). I think these are due to the
way Jazz is packaged - we have duplicates of many of the plugins in the
various zip files and they end up in the target platform. This will not
cause a problem for running HelloJazz or the other tutorials.

I am also seeing some warnings referring to bundles which could not be
resolved. When I look at these it seems like they are mostly the result
of test plugins (from the JazzJUnitTests-0.6M5.zip) which refer to other
plugins that aren't present in the target platform. This shouldn't
prevent any of the tutorial code from working.

I also have an error in the error log, "Failed to locate
teamserver.properties" from
com.ibm.team.server.embedded.jetty.auth.Activator. I think you could
satisfy this plug-in by adding an argument to the launch:

-Dcom.ibm.team.server.configURL=/path/to/teamserver.properties

But as with the others it isn't necessary to see the code work (you can
login with ADMIN/ADMIN). If you were investigating the way that login
and authentication work then this one might get more interesting, but we
only use Jetty to run and test the server in development mode, so you
would probably want to also look at how authentication works on the real
server (there are other recent posts about this on the newsgroups.

I do reproduce (b) and I filed bug 45676
(https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=45676)
about it. It is not a problem with HelloJazz. At this point I'm not
sure if it's a bug or feature. You can subscribe to the workitem to
follow the discussion.
