ATG installation

[gborkowski]

I just installed the laszlo webapp on the ATG Dynamo
app server, and I'm getting the following error:

com.laszlosystems.utils.ChainedException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\ATG\ATG6.3.0\FSB\laz\laz\index.html\WEB-INF\lps\config\lps.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)


What do I need to change so that it doesn't include
index.html in that string (where it's looking for
the properties file)?

[bloch]

We've seen strange things with ATG Dynamo in the
past, but this one is new! I don't have a copy
here so I can't readily reproduce the issue for
debugging.

The exception is *probably* triggered by an oddity
in the container's implementation of the
ServletContext.getRealPath() API call. In
particular the LPS calls
ServletContext.getRealPath("/") to determine the
underlying file system pathname for the directory
of the expanded web application.

From the exception, I'm guessing that the
container is using the welcome file for the webapp
as the "realpath" of "/" (this might be arguably
out of spec; the spec is loose on getRealPath()
though). You might be able to workaround this by
modifying the web.xml file that comes with the LPS
webapp and removing the welcome file list configs.
You might also be able to fix this by modifying
some ATG dynamo server config setting for welcome
files. I'd search the ATG bug base on
getRealPath() and see if anything comes up.

That defintely helped. But I'm not much further... Here is a fragment from the logs:

Ah yes :-( This is one of the other known issues
with ATG Dynamo; and part of the reason it isn't on our official list of qa-ed containers.

It does something particularly *unfriendly* wrt
bundling of the jakarta commons loggin classes; it
bundles them inside one of its own jars that it
adds to the classpath fairly early, I think. And
the fact that the classes are packaged both in the
lps web application and in the container triggers a
classloader bug in the commons logging class loader,
that, afaik, is still open (and hard to describe,
btw).


The solution, when I last talked to Barry Coleman at
ATG was to hand remove the jakarta
commons logging classes from one of the classes.jar
that ATG ships.

Thanks Eric,

That solved it! I actually work for Barry, I forgot that he worked through some of this a while back...

Here is what I had to do:

- unjar DAS/lib/classes.jar
- remove org/apache/common/*
- jar it back up into classes.jar

I also removed the common_logging.jar file (it looks like there are some additional org.apache.common.logging classes in there too)

Restart ATG, and everything works fine.

Thanks alot for your help!

hi guys,
Hitting the same issue (almost). Forgive my moranity but i dont know what unjar means! can you give an explanation, it didnt come up as a dos command (havent checked what to add to environ path though)
thanks

[bloch]

You will need to read up on the java jar tool.


jar xf foo.jar
will pull out the files in your current directory
jar cfx foo.jar fil1 file2 etc....
will create a jar file

You could also simply delete files from the jar if yoiur jar tool supports that.

hi,

I have installed Laszlo on ATG 6.4 and its working fine..But I dont know how to invoke the ATG FormHandler while submitting the "Laszlo Form"..

Could you please tell me how can i do that...

Thanks in advance..
Sujith

[bloch]

from a while ago...

re: unjar
means jar xf
(see jar manual page)

re: atg form handler
That's probably better asked to someone who knows something about ATG :). Sadly, all I know is that ATG is a servlet container.
