Generate code from deployed files - soap

I had mistakely deleted my web services code. I don't have any backup of this code. Tried some file recovery tools but it didn't work. I have deployed the project in glass fish 4.0 server and the application works fine from there. So I am thinking is there any way I can generate the codes of that webservice?
Thank you

If you have the application deployed in your glassfish server then it is possible. You can always find your the .class files of original codes (not the one compiled by SEI) inside your domain folder of glassfish. Then you can use some third party tools to generate java codes from the class files. There are to ways that you can deploy your application in the glass fish server:-
By using the glass fish server web GUI and deploy it.
By using exernal IDE like eclipse where you create the glassfish server and deploy it.
For condition 1, goto :-
glassfish\domains\domain1\applications\__internal
where domain1 is your domain name. By default it is the name of your domain
For condition2, goto:-
glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\eclipseApps
where domain1 is your domain name. By default it is the name of your domain
You can find your java codes inside WEB-INF\classes inside your project name.
Hope this helps.

IBM Liberty issue

An architect is having issues bringing Liberty up. Currently, an individual is running a server on his local computer and they want to move it to a shared server. When he tries to deploy a simple “helloworld” it’s failing and he is receiving an error “Context Root Not Found”. He is not sure what to set in server.xml file to have wlp recognize the application. They have ODM 8.5 on the mainframe. He thinks it might help if he saw an example of an EAR or WAR file deployed. Any ideas or suggestions?
Either put your application in the dropins folder, it will be detected and started automatically, or put it in the apps folder and configure in server.xml like this:
<webApplication id="HelloApp" location="HelloApp.war" name="HelloApp"/>
by default context root is application file name without extension, but you can change it by adding contextRoot="mycontext" attribute.

Building .car ColdFusion Archive from command-line

The current way I'm packaging my application is to deploy it on a running ColdFusion server, and export is as a .car (Coldfusion ARchive) through the admin console, but this manual process is usually prone to errors.
That's why I'm looking for a tool (or any solution) to build this final .car from the command line (so without requiring a ColdFusion server up and running).
Note: because of the complexity and the size of this legacy application, I cannot work with .war files, and I'm not aware of any other packaging format than .war or .car for ColdFusion applications.
Hi unfortunately Coldfusion is not built to use in this way but you can use API or the admin console.
I invite you to read this page : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf3638e6-7fc5.html for more details.
From coldfusion 9 servers, CAR files are zip files. You can unzip them, edit the files, and zip them back up and deploy them on coldfusion10 servers. The zip contains a folder called "{WorkingDir}" with curly brackets.
Structure looks like
{WorkingDir}
server_settings.xml
archive_settings.xml

Configure the path (localhost) of the war application to be the root (Java EE)

I want to change the path when I run my war-application locally...
Right now, it is running on the default setting...
http://localhost:8080/myproject-war/
and I want it to be the root, something like:
http://myproject-war.local/
or
http://myproject:8080/
How can I do that???
Note: My app is a Java EE 6 Application with Glashfish using Netbeans 7.3
This post helped me out How do you deploy a WAR that's inside an EAR as the root (/) context in Glassfish?.
First, I added a Standard Deployment Descriptor (application.xml) to the Enterprise Application Project.
Then, change the path of the context root of your web application: <context-root>/myproject-war</context-root> to <context-root>/</context-root> or <context-root />
Finally, (optional) remove or rename the Glashfish index page (or redirect it to the welcome page). located in the Glashfish default folder such as C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1.2.2\glassfish\domains\domain1\docroot
Now the page web application will be visible on: http://localhost:8080/
Maybe you are mixing up stuff here - one thing you can and should do is setting the context root of your application. This is done in the server's deployment descriptor - in your case in glassfish-web.xml:
<context-root>/myproject</context-root>
(See The Java EE 6 Tutorial for more details.)
What you're asking in your example URLs is changing the host name, which is not related to your application or application server, but to your machine and OS settings.
You may put something in the OS hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on Windows), but I don't see the point to do this. Your application runs on some host (may it be localhostor some external server) and this is how your URL starts.
you can put entry in host file. which is located in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc".

Can't find file under Tomcat7 using AWS Elastic Beanstalk with EC2

I used Eclipse to deploy my Java web application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk which uses a UNIX 64-bit environment. And my application needs to read a file from the same project folder. However, after I run the project, the log in the Management Console shows that the directory cannot be found. I tried to resolve this by either using a relative path or a absolute path. But neither worked.
One weired thing is that I cannot find the Tomcat folder in the ec2 instance. Does anyone have an idea about how I can set up my file path in the application or where I should put my file to make it found?
Thank you!
I'm not certain what you're doing with your file, but I had the same problem finding a path to an image to use in a class. I hope this helps!
Preface: I'm deploying my .war to my elastic beanstalk instance via the AWS-Elastic Beanstalk console. I moved my image into the exact same package/folder as the class I'm referencing it in.
BufferedImage imBuff = ImageIO.read(MyAwesomeFooBarClass.class.getResourceAsStream("foobar.png"));
And that's it! I'm sure this isn't the most elegant solution, but it certainly works/I'm a bit crunched for time ;)

How to distribute my Java program so that it is runnable by double-clicking a single file?

I have a Java rich client desktop app. that I want to distribute on some computers at work, but I've never done something like this before. People aren't too computer-savy at my workplace and since it is a student job, I won't be there for much longer and I'd like it if I could make my program easy to run by making it runnable when people double-click on it.
I also don't want to have to manually install a JRE to have it run. Basically, what I'd like to know is how to make my java application runnable easily by double-clicking (even if it's only on windows, it's okay). I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to package the correct JRE version alongside, but I don't know what's the correct way of doing this.
I read on some sites that you should not package a JRE along with your program because it makes people have multiple different versions, some of which are outdated, and it causes security issues, but this is not a problem in this case since the computers that are going to run my application are not connected to the internet and are only used to run this program anyway.
Somewhat related question: Since my application is currently an Eclipse project, I get my resources such as icons, images, SQLite database (for read and write), etc. using relative paths (e.g.: img/test.png).
Am I going to have to change any of those paths to have them keep working even while packaged?
What you're looking for is a JAR file. In eclipse, it's quite easy to make a Jar file. Specifically, you'll want to right click on your project, go to Export, and then select "Runnable Jar." Be careful with paths to folders. You may need to keep a resources folder next to the Jar file. You may need to provide some more specifics to get an exact answer on that. Typically, a Resources folder is located in the same spot as the JAR file (in the same folder on your computer).
A better option for easy install of a Java app. with a GUI is to launch it using Java Web Start. For the user, JWS is the 'one click' installation option that can (install & launch the app. then) add desktop shortcuts and menu items. A JWS launch would mean some more work for you, but it is a breeze for the end user.
To ensure a suitable JRE is present to run the app., use deployJava.js (see the JWS link for more details). The script would need to be reconfigured to get the JRE installer from your local network - the default is to get it from Oracle.
Most of the resources should be packaged in Jar files and supplied along with the app., but for the DB, use the JNLP ExtensionInstallerService to call the DB installer.
..Java Web Start is kind of a link (or I can make it a shortcut on the desktop) that the users will click to either install the JRE and run the program if the JRE isn't installed, or just run the program if the JRE is present on the computer.
The way it would work is to have a web page on the local intranet. When the user visits the page, the script checks for a suitable JRE.
If it is present, it writes the link to the launch file.
If there is no JRE, or the version is too low, it will guide the user through installing it (just a matter of them clicking 'OK' when prompted). Then it will put the link to the app.
I can then configure the link to grab the JRE from the server on our network.
That's the part where you need to reconfigure the script. AFAIR the script exposes an URL at which to look for JREs - that can be changed to point to a place on the intranet.
..So "Web" is only just in the name, the computers don't have to be connected to the internet to have this work, right?
Yes. JWS is a great launch technology for Java rich clients, but is a poorly chosen name.
To make the problem run by double clicking it you can distribute it as a jar file or a batch file to call the jar file.
For the installation part you can make a batch file that checks if java is present and then call the installer if it isn't.
Edit:
The batch code:
IF DEFINED JAVA GOTO ok
java-installer.exe
GOTO end
:ok
your-application.jar
:end
If you are finding it tough to implement the above mentioned methods. You can proceed with this simple approach.
Create a folder lib at a location. Place all the jars that your application uses into this. If you are able to create a jar for your application, you can very well place your application.jar into the lib folder too. Create a batch file at the same location that will contain the java command for your main class in it. The text within your batch might look something similiar to this :
set path="\lib\"
java -cp %path% package1.package2.MainClass
If you have any other dependencies, for ex: if you use images in your code under img/icon.jpg. Then you just have to shift the img folder to this location too.
Just zip these files using winrar and share it across. Running the batch file after extracting the zip would launch your java MainClass irrespective of the location in which it is placed in the client system.
PS : If you are unable to create a jar for your application and placing it in lib folder, just copy your bin folder with class files and paste it in the location and change the batch file accordingly to look for classes inside bin.
