Methods to Integrate Axis and CXF Webservices in our Code

Axis Download and Unzip the Axis Standard Distribution.Get all the required Axis libraries for generating java files from WSDL. set the Classpath to these libraries from the command prompt.The libraries list are given below axis.jar,org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v200904062259.jar, org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v201005080501.jar, commons-discovery-0.2.jar,jaxrpc.jar,jaxws-rt.jar,jaxws-tools.jar, saaj.jar,resources.jar,javax.wsdl_1.5.1.v200806030408.jar, javax.wsdl_1.5.1.v200806030408.jar use the command from Command Prompt for Eg: java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java mywebservice.WSDL to generate the Java Stub Files. Either write a build script or set the classpath and using javac compile the entire Java Files This will generate required stub classes for you to invoke the actual Service. Configure the WebService EndPoints in your Custom Classes and create an instance of the Stub and pass the URl. Create the Necessary Input which will be passed as the request to t

ATG Customize and Enhance your CRS Module easily

Firstly we need to create a folder and give the name of your choice,For example i have given Wirelessstore, inside that folder you create a META-INF folder,and create a MANIFEST.MF file,once this is done then modify the Manifest file property to ATG-Install-Unit:MyWirelessStore(MyWirelessStore is the name i have given instead of the name Store in CRS module) and create a folder with the same name MyWirelessStore under Wirelessstore,after this copy all  CRS-Store folders under this folder. You can Refer the CommerceReferenceStore Manifest file for this. Now configure your eclipse and import the necessary folders to your workspace.Resolve the classpath by importing required Jars and Classes to your Buildpath and do a clean build of your Project. Now create a runAssembler command so that it will pick modules from your newly created folder structure. runAssembler -m ATGProduction.ear -m DafEar.Admin DPS DSS  DSS DCS.PublishingAgent MyWirelessStore.EStore MyWirelessStore.Recommendati

ATG dos and donts with Weblogic

1. Use single and Double quotes alternatively .             <dsp:param name='<%="abc"%>' value = "12" /> - Correct     <dsp:param name="<%="abc"%>" value = "12" /> - Wrong 2. Proper String Concatenation     <dsp:param name='"xxx" + <%="abc"%>' value = "12" /> -       Correct     <dsp:param name="xxx"<%="abc"%> value = "12" /> - Wrong 3. Use DynamoHttpServletRequest instead of HttpServletRequest    DynamoHttpServletRequest drequest =     ServletUtil.getDynamoRequest(request);  4. Always Specify encoding type in JSP Pages    <%@ page contentType  = "text/html" %>    Below are few best practices for developers 1. Always use Generics. 2. Use String Builder instead of String Buffer in logging . 3. Always use Enhanced For Loop. 4. Use annotations(@override). 5. While using BigDecimal

Customize to start Nucleus manually inside your java class

There is  a  simple approach to Initiate nucleus manually.Knowing this may help to customize Nucleus,like Override the default behavior, writing a custom junit test for testing profiles,repositories, etc. ATG has tools which Initiate N ucleus as a standalone to perform  some of their tasks.You might have used StartSqlRepository,the StartSqlRepositoy Initiate the nucleus as standalone.You need to take care of mapping the Repositories to appropriate Datasources.This is generally achieved through FakeXAComponents.All this are already available OOTB,but you can also start Nucleus manually doing some simple customization. Below are the customizations you need to do to start Nucleus manually,the modules given here are OOTB,additionally you need to include your respective modules and custom modules to resolve the necessary components. Define a component mynucleus and configure it in your build path . atg.dynamo.home=C:\\ATG\\ATG10.2\\home atg.dynamo.root=C:\\ATG\\ATG10

ATG-Class-Path Usage and Duplicate Class Files in JARS

I came across a situation in which i have two Class Files of the same name in different JARs but with some methods similar and other methods entirely different , these two JARS are required for the same Project with different Modules and i want to access the one which is compatible with my Code and Module,The other Module obviously dont want this Class file but requires other Classes,now the issue is you  have both the jars in CLASSPATH.How will you make sure you are pointing to the correct Class files in this situation, you need the Class Files from one JAR which has your updated method for a new functionality, You may experience the same issue while organizing imports or resolving a Java component. Here you need to do two things,first one is to resolve the component at Compile time in Eclipse or other IDEs,the second part is to resolve the runtime conflicts in the Application Server So for Compile time,Assume if you are using Eclipse and you have both  JAR added to your b

Weblogic Issues during EAR Deployment Exception in AppMerge flows progression

Unable to access the selected application Exception in AppMerge flows progression Bean already exists "weblogic.j2ee.descriptor.ModuleBeanImpl@..../Modules[weblogic.descriptor.internal.Descriptor.Beankey@....] This issue can happen in many scenarios, may be you need to check your deployment descriptors based on Application Servers used, this generally happens due to issue in XML files related to deployment. I got this issue when i mistakenly added the modules twice in the Manifest file, the module 'Store.Storefront' is added more than once in  'ATG-Required'  of my Manifest.MF file,due to this i am seeing the module 'storedocroot.war' is added twice in my application.xml which is located in the  path ATGProd.ear\META-INF\application.xml.Due to this i am not able to deploy my EAR file. I have removed the duplicate entry and deployed the application and everything working fine. ....... <module>         <web>             <web-uri>atg_
