I am testing out an environment where I have multiple proxies set up depending on what URL I access. I have my browsers working by configuring my wpad.dat file properly according to the examples I found here. However, I am using Eclipse 3.6 and cannot seem to find a way to access different proxies based on any conditional information.
Any Eclipse veterans have an idea? Is there a plugin that I could use?
Thanks!
As it turns out, folks, there is no way to do this. I ended running an instance of Apache on my local machine, and using it as a proxy to do the conditional redirection based on the domain using the ProxyRemote configuration. Read more about it here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyremote

I need some help on bootstrapping a dart web application.
How can I customize the host and the port against which my dart application is running?
My scenario
Running Tomcat with Restful Interface on localhost:8080 (Eg get on localhost/8080/something/entity delivers my a bunch of entities as json)
DartEditor which should fire httprequests against the tomcat.
My workaround
Using absolute paths in the urls. Eg http://localhost/8080/something/entity - which is stupid - I would like to have relative paths like /something/entity in my dart application.
Is there a way to start Dartium with the context properly set? Like system params which have to be passed to the debug config.

You can specify the host/port you are running using the pub serve command. See here: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/cmd/pub-serve.html
Thanks for your answers. In the meantime I got more wisdom and my question got obsolete :)
My Client application holds customizable properties (host:port/app) which will be used on firing against my REST interface. I like the flexibility of this approach.

I'm having difficulty in integrating AEM 5.6.1 with Site Catalyst. It allows me to connect in the configuration successfully, but does not work on the framework setup.
I've followed the standard procedure to connect AEM to SC and it accepts my login in the configuration, but fails on the framework set up with the browser message 'We were not able to login to SiteCatalyst. Please check your credentials and try again.'. Behind the scenes in the server log;
12.12.2014 14:10:06.967 *WARN* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1418393406764] POST /libs/cq/analytics/sitecatalyst/service.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.SitecatalystHttpClientImpl Data center 'https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/' responded with errors {"error":{"code":500,"message":"Internal Server Error"}}
12.12.2014 14:10:06.967 *ERROR* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1418393406764] POST /libs/cq/analytics/sitecatalyst/service.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.servlets.SitecatalystServlet Call to SiteCatalyst method 'Company.GetReportSuites' failed com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.SitecatalystException: not authenticated
I've tried accessing via the API Explorer and it works.
I've tried the troubleshooting guide without success.
I can log in to Site Catalyst, I'm an admin, I am in the web services access group.
I've tried using a clean install of CQ5.6.1 with geometrixx - it doesn't work either.
I've tried this from a server and from a localhost/dev machine with the same results. No proxy. I've even tried using the shared secret as the password but then it doesn't connect at all, and fails on the configuration screen.
What might cause this to fail?
If it doesn't work with a fresh install and Geometrixx, then it's probably an Adobe bug. That's typically the first thing support will ask you about.
I would also verify using Geometrixx Outdoors, or a more recent demo site, on your fresh install, just to ensure it's not an outdated ClientLib issue.
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but honestly, I would approach the integration differently. I've worked with the AEM-SC framework and it's buggy at best. It's very finicky, it doesn't REALLY work the way the documentation claims, and it requires that you're very specific about what Clientlibs are on the page.
Moving forward, I think using Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager is the better approach, for many reasons. My understanding is that it's Adobe's recommendation as well. I'd consider moving to that. In AEM 5.6.1, you'll have to customize your integration with DTM, but it's not very hard.
Solution: Add a property on the configuration node for sitecatalyst: (eg. /etc/cloudservices/sitecatalyst/my-sc-configuration)
server=https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.2/rest/
it also seems to work with newer API versions such as https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/
It would appear that for 5.6.1 it ignores the OSGi configuration, at least for the configuration screens. With this extra property, the framework page loads without error and allows selection of the RSID.
how can I connect to cloudfoundry using the STS Plugin when I am behind a proxy? The plugin seems to be unaware of my Network Eclipse proxy settings, and when I validate my account or connect, I get an I/O error or unable to connect to api.cloudfoundry.com.
I am quite sure it is the proxy it does not know about (it somehow is an issue with any kind of development, Maven, Grails and consorts).
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

As an alternative, did you try configure the system proxy and select direct connect in eclipse?
so I don't know about actual proxy support, but while searching our JIRA for "proxy", I came accross those two : https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2975 and https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2872.
You may have a look at them, as they seem to imply that this is supported somehow.
From this, I assume there is proxy support as well. I just haven't had time to figure it out.
Sorry for such a half response, hope that helps
In Eclipse preferences > General/Network Preferences,
Use Manual proxy provider (not Native), and set your proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS.
I have a Azure project (Azure 1.3) in VS2010. There are 2 webroles, one web page project and one WCF project. In debug mode I want the web project to use a web.config for DEV enviroment, and when publishing the web.config for PROD must be used.
What is the best way to do this ?
Currently I am facing issues when using a Web.Debug.config with transform XSLT. It doesn't seem to work in Azure....
Solve your problem a different way. Think about the web.config always being static and never changing when working with Azure. What does change is your ServiceConfiguration.cscfg.
What we have done is created our own configuration provider that first checks the ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and then falls back to the web.config if the setting/connection string is't there. This allows us to run servers in IIS/WCF directly during development and then to have different settings when deployed to Azure. There are some circumstances where you have to use web.config (yes, I'm referring to WCF here) and in those cases you have to write code and create convention instead of storing everything in web.config. I have a blog post where I show an example of how I did this when dealing with WIF (Windows Identity Foundation) and Azure.
I agree with Mose, excellent question!
Visual Studio 2010 includes a solution for this type of problem, web.config transforms. If you look at your web role you'll notice it includes Web.Debug.config and Web.Release.config along with the traditional web.config. These files are used to transform the web.config during deployment.
The canonical example is "I need different database connection strings for development and release" but it also fits your situation.
There is an excellent blog post from the Visual Web Developer Team that explains how to use this feature (don't bother with the MSDN docs, I know how it works and still don't understand the docs). Check out http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2009/05/04/web-deployment-web-config-transformation.aspx
I like this question !
For worker roles, I solved this problem by detecting the environment at runtime and launching my 'application' in a new AppDomain with a custom configuration :
bot.cloud.config
bot.dev.config
bot.win.config
This is incredibly efficient !
I'd like to do the same with web projects, because using the Azure specific configuration is a lot of trouble :
Both config are not in the same place, which is time-consuming when debugging
You have to learn a new way of writing something that sould be standard
Sometime you'll wonder if the app falled back on web.config because of a stupid syntax error
I'm still searching the right way to do that, like in this post
Another possible solution is to have two CloudService projects, each one with specific ServiceConfiguration.cscfg(dev/prod). Develop using the Dev, but deploy the Prod.
Currently I am facing issues when using a Web.Debug.config with
transform XSLT. It doesn't seem to work in Azure....
It depends on whether you want to make it work on your local machine or inside continuous integration.
For the local machine I tried to answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9393533/182371
For the continuous integration it's even easier. When you build from the command line specifying the Configuration property value your configs WILL be transformed (no matter what it does when you build inside VS). So properly specifying build configurations for both cloud and web project will give you the correct output depending on build parameters.
I'm trying to call a web service in my back end java code when it's
running in hosted mode. Everything loads fine, the GWT RPC call works
and I can see it on the server, then as soon as it tries to call an
external web service (using jax-ws) the jetty falls over with a
Internal Server Error (500).
I have cranked the log all the way up to
ALL but I still don't see any stack traces or cause for this error. I just get one line about the 500 Error with the request header and response.
Does anyone know if the internal jetty keeps a log file somewhere, or
how I can go about debugging what's wrong?
I'm running GWT 1.7 on OS X 10.6.1
Edit: I know that I can use the -noserver option, but I'm genuinely interested in finding out where this thing lives!
From the documentation:
You can also use a real production
server while debugging in hosted mode.
This can be useful if you are adding
GWT to an existing application, or if
your server-side requirements have
become more than the embedded web
server can handle. See this article on
how to use an external server in
hosted mode.
So the simplest solution would be to use the -noserver option and use your own Java server - much less limitations that way, without any drawbacks (that I know of).
If you are using the Google Plugin for Eclipse, it's easily set up in the properties of the project. Detailed information on configuration can be found on the official site.
Edit: you could try bypassing the Hosted Mode TreeLogger, as described here: http://blog.kornr.net/index.php/2009/01/27/gently-asking-the-gwt-hosted-mode-to-not):
Just create a file called
"commons-logging.properties" at the
root of your classpath, and add the
following line:
[to use the Log4j backend]
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
[to use the JDK14 backend]
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger
[to use the SimpleLog backend]
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
Edit2: the trunk of GWT now also supports the -logfile parameter to enable file logging, but it probably won't help in this case, since the problem lies in the way the Hosted Mode treats the exceptions, not the way it presents them.
