AppFuse 1.9.3 Released

This release is primarily a bug fix release, but also contains upgrades to several dependent libraries, including Acegi Security 1.0.1.

To install and configure AppFuse for development, see the QuickStart Guide. Thanks to all the sponsors who have contributed products and free hosting to the project.

To see how AppFuse works, please see the following demos (username: mraible, password: tomcat):

Comments and issues can be sent to the mailing list or posted to JIRA.

Note: If you're building AppFuse on Linux, you should be aware of some non-English encoding issues. The solution is to add the following to your ~/.bashrc file.

export LC_CENGINE=en_US
export LANG=en_US
export LANGUAGE=en_US

Hi,
Thanks for this new release. But i think that there are some problems with acegi 1.0.1. To reproduce it 1- change the session timout to 1 minute in web.xml.
2- Login to appfuse
3- Do nothing for 1 minute.
4- After the session has been invalidated (by tomcat itself due to timeout) access some page which needs authentication.
5- The login page again appears. Do not log into the application. A session is created by tomcat ( after all the login page default is to cretae session as you have specified nothing there). In that created session acegi set null authentication and not anonymous (which i think it should have done). Now dont login and when this session is invalidated bu tomcat there comes a NullPointerException in UserCounterListener in the method attributeRemoved at following line.

System.out.println("principal is null: " +
                         (securityContext.getAuthentication().getPrincipal() == null));

That is because your condition is true aka if (event.getName().equals(EVENT_KEY) && !isAnonymous()) because user stuff is null so isAnonymous returns false and ! of it becomes true and its get into the code nad when getting principal it throws exception.

So what i guess is that acegi is not stuffing anonymous user in session though i have specified it there (actually i am running appfuse 1.9.3 as it is :)

Please look into this behavior.

Shoaib - I was unable to reproduce this problem. I removed the System.out.println shortly before uploading the release. Where exactly did you download 1.9.3 from - maybe it doesn't have the latest code?

Matt, about the encoding issue: have you tried this?

<javac encoding="ISO-8859-1" blah blah blah>

Might work with UTF-8 also.

Hi Matt, Sorry about the problem actually somehow i have old version of UserCounterListener having System.out.println. Thanks anyways, great work.

Hi Matt, Sorry fo posting it here but now i am using latest appfuse 1.9.3 (downloaded from zip file) and i am running it on Tomcat 5.5.17 with jdk 1.5 but whenevr i shutdown Tomcat i get following message. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/appfuse]). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. I am using the same log4j.properties file and it is under WEB-INF\classess as well and logging is done when app is running but closing tomcat results in this warning. Any clue Regards, Shoaib Akhtar

Shaoib - if it happens on shutdown, I wouldn't worry about it. Does it happen with earlier versions of Tomcat, or on other containers (i.e. Resin, Jetty, JBoss or Geronimo)?

Hi, I will try it and let you know.

Dear Matt, I'm new to appfuse and I should use it with axis to generate web services. I used your tutorial at: http://raibledesigns.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=AppFuseAxis I installed the axis-webservice extras and generated the wsdd file using ant generate-wsdd war command. But when I go to htt://my host/ my project/ services/ I receive a file not found error. So i can't see the UserService deployed. I tried to integrate axis and appfuse to have a happy axis. But I still can't find the User Service deployed, and I receive this error: ERROR [http-8085-Processor25] EngineConfigurationFactoryServlet.getServerEngineConfig(162) | Unable to find config file. Creating new servlet engine config file: /WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd I'm deployin on tomcat 5.0.28 That's all, I hope you can find a solution to this problem. Thanks a lot

Matt, my problem is solved. The problem was that wsdd file was not copied to jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/webapps/myproject/WEB-INF I copied it manually and it worked. I think you may need to add this step to your tutorial, so that no one get it again. Thanks a lot Matt for appfuse.

Hi Matt, I have a problem with "setup-db" task in appfuse 1.9.3 with oracle driver, i got a JDBC Driver class not found and i don't know why... so if i run it on 1.9.2 or less version everything it's ok. There are a new configurations to do that? Thanks for any suggestions

Sara and Omar - can you please post your questions to the user mailing list? To subscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Or you can use the forums, which posts to the mailing list as well.

Omar - can you include the steps you went through in your e-mail so we can try to reproduce? Thanks.

Hi Sara, I know this is 5 years late but hopefully it will help others still using AppFuse 1.9.3 and Axis(webservices). In 'build.xml' append the following line inside the target block(for generate-wsdd) just before the closing target tag:

<copy todir="${tomcat.home}/webapps/${webapp.name}/WEB-INF" file="${webapp.target}/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd" overwrite="Yes"/>

N.B: This copies 'server-config.wsdd' from the build/WEB-INF directory of your app to ${tomcat.home}/${webapp.name}/WEB-INF' directory and overwrites the file(note the overwrite attribute used in the copy tag) which is pretty much what we'd expect from 'ant generate-wsdd' to do.
