Where to define <Environment...> elements in JBoss - jboss

I try to define environment entries in JBoss 5.1 and added following to the server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/context.xml file:
<Environment type="java.lang.String" name="name" value="value" />
Following error occurs on startup:
2010-01-26 14:50:08,383 ERROR
[org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.JBossContextConfig]
(main) XML error parsing: context.xml
org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException:
Failed to parse source: Resource
cannot appear in this position.
Expected content of Context is
unordered_sequence: attributes?
InstanceListener* Realm? Parameters*
Manager? Loader? Valve* SessionCookie?
Resources? Listener*
Where may I define environment entries in JBoss (but outside of application's EAR)?

This article confirms that (likely) it is not possible to configure environment entries in JBoss. Author suggests to use PropertiesService as alternative.
Property configuration in properties-service.xml works great!

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">
<restriction base="xsd:string">
<enumeration value="ACTIONCALL_DUPLICATE_INPUT_PARAM">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
Errors with this extended error code have the following properties: severity, actionCallName, parameterName
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
</enumeration>
<enumeration value="ACTIONCALL_DUPLICATE_OUTPUT_PARAM">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
Errors with this extended error code have the following properties: severity, actionCallName, parameterName
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
</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=""/>
<input>
<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.

(Keycloak) Freemarker Template system properties and environment variables

We wanted to work on the Templates and tried to get the system properties that we set earlier in the standalone.xml file like this.
</extensions>
<system-properties>
<property name="testProp" value="TestVal"/>
</system-properties>
In the Docs of Keycloak its described like the following.
${some.system.property} - for system properties
${env.ENV_VAR} - for environment variables.
But nothing worked for us. We always get the following error Message “An internal server error has occurred”.
What is the right way to get the system properties and the environment variables in the Freemarker Template?
Keycloak Theme Property Documentation
is missing how to add them in the template.
It is however just a bit lower in the same document
So in theme.properties could be
customPropInThemeProperties=${env.SOME_OTHER_RESOURCE_URL}
Then uses in .ftl as
${properties.customPropInThemeProperties}
In order to use system properties in the freemarker template of keycloak, do the following configuration.
Declare your system properties in the standalone.xml
<system-properties>
<property name="UATLogin" value="http://localhost:9090" />
</system-properties>
Add variable inside theme.properties to access the system property.
UATURL=${UATLogin}
As an example, I have done the testing with register.ftl
<span>${kcSanitize(msg("backToLogin"))?no_esc}</span>

Error in BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding using ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml

Deploying an application in WAS 8 gives me an error:
Cannot find a match for supplied option: "[ejb.jar, ejbName, ejb.jar,META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml, ejb/ejbName]" for task "BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding"
my entry in ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml
<session name="ejbName">
<interface class="com.manager.EJBNameManager" binding-name="ejb/ejbName"/></session>
my entry in deploy.jacl
[-BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBinding ejb.jar ejbName ejb.jar,META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml ejb/ejbName]
my ejb.jar structure has META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml also.
Was my entry in ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml correct? Please enlighten me on this one. Thanks.
Instead of providing the path to your ejb jar bindings (ejb.jar,META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml), you should be providing the path to your ejb deployment descriptor (e.g. ejb.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml).
In addition, you shouldn't even need the ejb bindings file, because you are creating the binding using JACL. The ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml file will automatically be created for you as a result of your deployment.
(Also, as a side note, WAS deprecated its use of JACL in WAS 7, so you should consider using jython for your wsadmin scripts instead.)

Loading properties from a file in a JBoss 6 Web Application

Can I dump a properties file somewhere in one of the JBoss 6 directories, and pick it up from the classpath?
Or even better, does anybody know the mechanism behind a configuration file like $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jboss-logging.xml? Changes to this file seem to trigger an event, so that a running instance can process the modifications (without having to bounce the AS).
A possibility is to configure SystemPropertiesService in ./conf/jboss-service.xml.
This allows you to configure system properties in-place, or load them from a properties file:
<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService"
name="jboss.util:type=Service,name=SystemProperties">
<!-- Load properties from each of the given comma seperated URLs -->
<attribute name="URLList">
http://somehost/some-location.properties,
./conf/somelocal.properties
</attribute>
<!-- Set propertuies using the properties file style. -->
<attribute name="Properties">
property1=This is the value of my property
property2=This is the value of my other property
</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>
For more details, refer to: http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/admindevel326/html/ch10.html
They have made this even easier in JBoss EAP 6 (AS 7).
Pass Property File as Startup Parameter
This can be added within the main start up script or passed as parameter
./standalone.sh --properties=/Users/john.galt/dev/config/ds/jboss.properties
If these properties are read, they will be rendered in the server log as the first statement.
3:58:41,633 DEBUG [org.jboss.as.config] (MSC service thread 1-6) Configured system properties:
DSsettings.password = password
DSsettings.user-name = admin
DSsettings.connection-url = jdbc:oracle:fat:#activedb:1521:DEV
[Standalone] =
awt.nativeDoubleBuffering = true
NOTE: As these settings are logged in server log, ensure no clear text passwords are in the property files in production
Use passed in system properties
You could use these system properties with following syntax.
Example Usage in a data source file
<xa-datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/ds" pool-name="cPool" jta="true" enabled="true" use-ccm="true">
<xa-datasource-property name="URL">
${DSsettings.connection_url}
</xa-datasource-property>
<driver>oracle</driver>
...
<security>
<user-name>${DSsettings.user-name}</user-name>
<password>${DSsettings.password}</password>
</security>
...
</xa-datasource>
In JBoss 6 use: ./deploy/properties-service.xml
On JBoss AS7 properties-service.xml no longer exist, the below is the solution:

How to configure MessageEndpointMapping by namespace in NServiceBus

I am trying to configure my message endpoint mapping in my NServiceBus configuration by sending messages from different namespaces to different endpoints.
As such, I have configured the following in my web.config:
<MessageEndpointMappings>
<add Messages="Company.Messages.Accounts" Endpoint="ServiceInput" />
<add Messages="Company.Messages.Payments" Endpoint="ServiceInput" />
<add Messages="Company.Messages.Cancellations" Endpoint="ServiceInput" />
<add Messages="Company.Messages.Notifications" Endpoint="ServiceInput" />
</MessageEndpointMappings>
However, when my application starts, I receive the following exception:
Spring.Objects.PropertyAccessExceptionsException: PropertyAccessExceptionsException (1 errors); nested PropertyAccessExceptions are:
[Spring.Core.TypeMismatchException: Cannot convert property value of type [System.Collections.Hashtable] to required type [System.Collections.IDictionary] for property 'MessageOwners'., Inner Exception: System.ArgumentException: Problem loading message assembly: Company.Messages.Payments ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Company.Messages.Payments' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Company.Messages.Payments'
What I find interesting is that it seems to have found Company.Messages.Accounts but failed on the second configured line. I thought that maybe it didn't like have them all go to the same endpoint, but changing this configuration to have them go different endpoints didn't change the error message I received.
What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible to segment messages by namespace (all I have seen is by type and by assembly)?
Thanks,
Steve
NSB only supports mapping of assemblies or individual types to endpoints. Namespaces are not supported, I suggest you split you message assembly into separate assemblies for each of your endpoints.
According to this page you can specify a type:
http://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/messaging/message-owner
Specific types can be configured by using their qualified name: "namespace.type, assembly".
As of NServiceBus v3.3 namespaces can be used to filter message mappings
