I have been writing a blog about Java programming and software technology since 2005. Originally, main purpose of these postings was to ingrain my own thoughts and experiences for myself, but recently I realized that 5 to 10 readers visit these pages per day. Some of these hits come from static links and the more from Google search result pages. Unfortunately, that blog is in Hungarian which is my mother language, so, as I guess, some people finally don't get what they are looking for.

So, I start another one in English to be able to share thoughts with more people, and not least, to improve my English composition skills. :)

Client's transaction aborted

I've met the above error message using a Wicket 1.2 / EJB3 intranet application under Glassfish v2 . Here is the more particular head of the stack trace: javax.ejb.TransactionRolledbackLocalException: Client's transaction aborted at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.useClientTx(BaseContainer.java:3394) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.preInvokeTx(BaseContainer.java:3274) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.preInvoke(BaseContainer.java:1244) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBLocalObjectInvocationHandler.invoke(EJBLocalObjectInvocationHandler.java:195) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBLocalObjectInvocationHandlerDelegate.invoke(EJBLocalObjectInvocationHandlerDelegate.java:127) This exception raised on the integration server sometimes, randomly, for simple page fetch operations. After pressing reload on the browser, the operation was usually successful. I couldn't reproduce the failure on the local machine where I regularly restart the app server and...

jxl.log

In an intranet production environment we have running a Glassfish v2 appserver with several J2EE applications which all use JexcelApi , a.k.a JXL, which is an open source library for accessing, generating or manipulating Microsoft Excel documents. We use version 2.6.3 of JXL because it's the recent one in the Maven repository which we use, however, at the official JXL site there are newer versions. Additionally we have log4j and Java Commons Logging (JCL), ignoring Glassfish's JSR-47 Java Util Logging (JUL) facility. Application #1 uses purely log4j and gets its log4j.xml config from a custom location. Application #2 runs Java Commons Logging with no explicite configuration file given, so JCL uses the default JUL facility of the appserver. Application #1 had been running for a long time without problems but when we installed #2 we realized that a jxl.log file had been created in the glassfish/domain/domain1/config directory and it's rapidly growing. As it happens, we ...

Setting up EJB3 default interceptor

It wasn't easy to find out how to configure a default interceptor in EJB3 environment. It's okay to make this snippet into the ejb-jar.xml: <assembly-descriptor> <interceptor-binding> <ejb-name>*</ejb-name> <interceptor-class>pkg.IC</interceptor-class> </interceptor-binding> </assembly-descriptor> Maybe everybody forget to mention maybe it's a Glassfish V2 trick that I get this error message during deployment: Interceptor binding contains an interceptor class name = pkg.IC that is not defined as an interceptor ...unless I register the interceptor class itself too with this: <interceptors> <interceptor> <interceptor-class>pkg.IC</interceptor-class> <around-invoke> <method-name>call</method-name> </around-invoke> </interceptor> </interceptors> <interceptors> and <as...
