Can I get additional trace information from Liquid XML - liquid-xml

I'm having problems starting Liquid XML Studio, is there any way to get additional debug information from it to help diagnose the problem?

If you are having an issue with the product crashing or hanging, it may be helpful to our support team if you can provide additional debugging information by turning on tracing to a log file as follows:
1 - Login as Administrator.
2 - Backup the file C:\Program Files\Liquid Technologies\Liquid XML 2016\XmlStudio14.exe.config.
Note: the path is the folder into which you installed Liquid XML.
3 - Edit the file C:\Program Files\Liquid Technologies\Liquid XML 2016\XmlStudio14.exe.config and ensure the section below is uncommented
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\Temp\TraceOutput.log" />
<remove name="Default" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
4 - Ensure the Path specified in the config file (C:\Temp\TraceOutput.log) exists on your PC (e.g. C:\Temp).
5 - Start Liquid XML Studio.
6 - You should see a file is created in the specified folder (e.g. C:\Temp\TraceOutput.log)
7 - Perform the task which is causing an issue, then close the application.
8 - Send the TraceOutput.log to Liquid Support.
9 - Undo the changes made to C:\Program Files\Liquid Technologies\Liquid XML 2016\XmlStudio14.exe.config

Issues generating Enterprise jar for Salesforce Soap API; issue with generated WSDL XML from Salesforce

I've recently made some databasae changes to custom objects, and I'm trying to generate a new enterprise.jar to reflect these changes. I'm following all documentation located here for the process. I'll also note, with the exception of some new dependencies, I've followed this process before with no errors to generate the enterprise.jar file. So this is a process that has worked for my sandbox in the past, but we haven't had any structural changes to the database in a solid 5 years.
Following along with the steps is simple enough. I generate the XML file from my Salesforce login in my developer sandbox utilizing Enterprise WSDL (we clearly have Enterprise level service, just so that's established). From there, I go to the Maven repository, get force-wsc-48.0.0.jar from there (as per the current API version of my sandbox), and then download a few dependencies like rhino, ST, and antlr-runtime. I get all files together in a temp folder in my C drive and try running command:
java -classpath C:\temp\force-wsc-48.0.0.jar;C:\temp\rhino1_7R4\js.jar;C:\temp\ST-4.3.1.jar;\jdk\jdk1.8.0_251\lib\tools.jar;C:\temp\antlr-runtime-3.5.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc C:\temp\enterprise.wsdl C:\temp\enterprise.jar
Here's where the trouble begins. Once I run this, I hit the following error:
Exception in thread "main" com.sforce.ws.wsdl.WsdlParseException: Parse error: Found invalid XML. could not determine namespace bound to element prefix xsd (position: TEXT seen ...ration value="ACTIONCALL_DUPLICATE_INPUT_PARAM">\r\n<xsd:annotation>... #17360:17)

A snipped of the XML at error line:
<!--
These are the extension code to provide additional error information
-->
<simpleType name="ExtendedErrorCode">

</enumeration>
Parent schema:
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="urn:fault.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
<import namespace="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com"/>
I don't know if it's necessary, but I'll note that there's no <xsd:schema...> at all in the XML file. xsd is used before this, but only to define element string types; eg: <element name="sessionId" type="xsd:string" nillable="true"/>
If I remove xsd prefix from everything that causes the error, I'll instead get the same error, but for soap instead of xsd. XML snippet of first instance of that:
<!-- Soap Binding -->
<binding name="SoapBinding" type="tns:Soap">
<soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<operation name="login">
<soap:operation soapAction=""/>

<soap:header use="literal" message="tns:Header" part="LoginScopeHeader"/>
<soap:body parts="parameters" use="literal"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</output>
There's no parent schema here.
Again, there is no <soap:schema...> defined in the XML. And if I remove all of the instances of using the soap prefix, I'll land on the following issue.
Exception in thread "main" com.sforce.ws.wsdl.WsdlParseException: targetNamespace not specified in wsdl:definitions

at com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc.run(wsdlc.java:149)
at com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc.main(wsdlc.java:71)
Again, not sure if it matters, but there's no <wsdl:definitions...> in the XML file.
I don't know if this is an issue of Salesforce generating a bad XML file (the issue occurs even in sandboxes I haven't made any database changes for, including production where I have an old but working enterprise.jar), if I don't have the right force-wsc jar file, if I'm not running it through the right version of Java (1.8, if it wasn't clear, but I've tried earlier versions of java and I just get the minor.major 52 error, which means it should be 8, as far as I know).
Any help pinpointing what the issue here is would be greatly appreciated. I'm more than open to suggestions. And if it is just Salesforce giving me a bad XML file, I can open a ticket there. I just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong before I open a ticket.
After spending more time on this, and after coordinating with a co-worker who works on a different Salesforce project, we've discovered the following
1 Salesforce was absolutely giving a bad WSDL file.
2 The generation of the bad WSDL file only occurred because I was using a Firefox web browser. Using Chrome instead to access the WSDL generation fixed the issue, of all things.
So for any poor soul that comes across this issue in the future, I hope using Chrome fixes it for you as well.

multiple applications single config file

I'm trying to write a service and configuration application. VB/C++ 2010 I've had a number of hits on google but they largely seem to be obsolete. What I have so far is a project with a single form app and a service app. The single form app has an "app.config" file and I have added a section:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings file="settings.config">
</appSettings>
</configuration>
In the Solution I have added a "settings.config" file and its contents is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appSettings>
<add key="Setting1" value="This is Setting 1 from settings.config" />
<add key="Setting2" value="This is Setting 2 from settings.config" />
<add key="ConnectionString" value="ConnectString from settings.confg" />
</appSettings>
I have added a reference to then C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\System.Configuration.dll
library in both the forms app and the service app
In the very simple forms app i have the following code
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim s As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
TextBox1.Text = s
End Sub
It doesn't work! Now clearly I am missing something. Its probably very simple. But my limited understanding is that this is automatically configuered by the config files I have? MS in their usual helful fashion seem to only give samples for 2012 and net 4.5 or greater. I need this to work on a 2003 server (as well) so I'm limited to net 4.0
The problem here is that the line System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ConnectionString") is looking for the key ConnectionString in your application's app.config file.
The fact that you have included that file key in your app.config file doesn't magically tell the ConfigurationManager to load the settings from a different file. If that's what you want you will have to read the setting for the file key and then manually load the configuration from that file.
This has not changed since the early versions of .Net though so I'm not sure why you were conflicted by the examples.
Add reference on existing assembly in .Net section of your Add Reference Popup
But i suggest you to use connectionStrings section in your config file
<connectionStrings>
<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="server=localhost;database=myDb;uid=myUser;password=myPass;" />
</connectionStrings>
string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

IISExpress 8 with custom configuration file - web service won't load

When I develop a WCF service or website solution, I always use IISExpress with a custom configuration file so I can share the setup with other developers in the team. Basically, I run a batch file with the following command in it:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /config:service-hosts.config
Where service-hosts.config is the path to my custom configuration file.
This method has been working perfectly fine, and still works fine in other solutions on my PC (each with their own service-hosts.config file). However, I've just started having a problem loading a WCF service using this method. I'm getting the following error when trying to browse to the service root dir, or any of the built in help endpoints:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Detailed Error Information:

More Information:
This error occurs when there is a problem reading the configuration file for the Web server or Web application. In some cases, the event logs may contain more information about what caused this error.
If you see the text "There is a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section defined", this error is because you are running a .NET Framework 3.5-based application in .NET Framework 4. If you are running WebMatrix, to resolve this problem, go to the Settings node to set the .NET Framework version to ".NET 2". You can also remove the extra sections from the web.config file.

I've been debugging for hours and can't get this error to change, let alone fix it.
I've tried overwriting my service-hosts.config file with a few different versions of applicationHosts.config, running IISExspress in 64bit, replacing the web.config file with a very basic version, setting permissions on the directory (to the point where every user on my PC has access), and changing the app pool, but still no change.
The weird thing is... when I change the WCF project to use "IISExpress" in the Web section of project properties, then subsequently debug the project, everything works fine... even with all of my web.config settings in place.
This points to how I'm running IISExpress, or my service-hosts.config file... though the service-hosts.config file (with slight modifications for the sites involved) is exactly the same as it is in my other projects.
One thing to note (might be a red herring), but I did downgrade the solution from VS2012 to VS2010, and changed the framework target to .Net 4.0... not sure if something might be configured funny due to that?
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at the point of jumping off the roof...
UPDATE:
Here's the debug information from IISExpress (running with /trace:e):

Seems that the service-hosts.config file was pointing to something it shouldn't have been pointing to. I replaced my service-hosts.config with an copy from an older project (and therefore an older version of IISExpress / .Net Framework) and everything works fine.
Sounds like it was to do with my 4.5 -> 4.0 downgrade after all.

Using XmlLogFormatter with the RollingFlatFileTraceListener in Enterprise Library

I'm trying to use the RollingFlatFileTraceListener to provide rolling logs in my app along side the XmlLogFormatter so that the logs are in an XML format, however the app no longer seems to be logging anything.
<listeners>
<clear />
<add name="Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.505.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

fileName="C:\Inetpub\logs\rolling.log" rollFileExistsBehavior="Increment" header="~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" footer="~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" formatter="Error Formatter"
rollSizeKB="12499" maxArchivedFiles="3200" traceOutputOptions="None" timeStampPattern="yyyy-MM-dd" rollInterval="Midnight" />
</listeners>
<formatters>
<clear />
<add type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters.XmlLogFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.505.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" template="Timestamp: {timestamp(local)}
Message: {message}
Category: {category}
Severity: {severity}
Title:{title}
Machine: {machine}
Extended Properties: {dictionary({key} - {value}
)}" name="Error Formatter" />
</formatters>
Since the application isn't hard faulting, I can't see any errors to diagnose, yet I know that I should see some trace logs by now.
Update:
Current progress is that I've been able to use the RollingFlatFileTraceListnerData with the TextFormatter, making use of the template to specify XML. The two items that don't work as of yet are
The file has no XML declaration
The file has no root element, instead it has many root elements
Any thoughts on how to tack that on to the start and end of the file?
The out of the box trace listeners do not support a file header or file footer concept. As you've seen, it basically just appends to the file. Even if you used the .NET Framework System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener it only writes XML fragments and not well formed XML documents.
One way to achieve what you want would be to create a separate process that modifies the archived files to be well formed after they have been rolled. The downside of that approach is that the active log file is not well formed.
If that is a concern then you will probably have to create a custom trace listener to do what you want. Instead of simply appending to the log file you could overwrite the XML document's closing tag (e.g. ) with the latest LogEntry and the closing tag.
Another interesting approach from the article Efficient Techniques for Modifying Large XML Files is to create a well formed XML document that includes the document with XML fragments. E.g.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE logfile [
<!ENTITY events
SYSTEM "XMLFile1.xml">
]>
<logfile>
&events;
</logfile>

How do I get the EntLib database settings to stay deleted?

I'm using EntLib 5.0 for logging and exception handling, but not for data access.
Everytime I delete the 'database settings' app block using the entlib designer, it re-adds itself after I rebuild the application. It wouldn't be a problem and I'd just leave it except that it creates LocalSqlServer and LocalMySqlServer instances automatically and throws "LocalMy[DB]Server (Connection String): Connection string is a required value" on the next build.
I've just deleted it before every other build, but that's obviously pretty annoying.
So again, how can I delete it such that it'll stay deleted?
You need to edit your machine.config.
This issue started for me, after I installed Wordpress/MySQL via Web Matrix.
It added this line into my .NET 2.0 machine.config file:
<add name="LocalMySqlServer" connectionString="" />
So all you need to do is open it up in a text editor and comment out that line!
In my case, the file was here:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
And I commented out two providers, e.g.:
<!-- <add name="OraAspNetConString" connectionString=" " />
<add name="LocalMySqlServer" connectionString="" /> -->
