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 ...

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>  ...

Application has three different email handlers:one for the testing ,one for the internal mail and one for the external.Content Administration  uses the internal mail handler to send the asset update notification to the managers,which of the following directories would be the best place to configure SMTPEmail.emailHandlerHostName? a: atgdir/home/localconfig b: atdir/home/server/yourserver/localconfig c: atdir/yourapp/config d: atdir/yourapp/liveconfig e: atdir/yourapp.versioned/config f: atgdir/yourapp.versioned/live config Answer : b e and f Use the -Standalone option when assembling your ATG application to allow you to : a: Run the application without using a separate application server such as Weblogic or JBoss b: Run a server type with only single instance such as the CA server. c: Deploy EJBs and Web Applications into seperate EARs d: Run the application on a host on which ATG is  not installed Answer : d There should be a no...

Generally the Application Server Startup logs which has the information of ATG Modules,ATG Classpath,ATG Version etc running under Managed Weblogic Server will not be logged to the logs folder under the ATG Application Server log path (ATG_HOME/server/ATGProduction/logs).Ideally the Application Server would be logging this to the console which includes the output from the stdout and stderr,but as a best practice you may need to manually capture these console logs to some file,otherwise it might loose once the console buffer is filled,its also very difficult to read and thereby troubleshoot an issue. Also in Unix if you run a startup script of an Application Server, The same Server will shutdown if you accidentaly  close the window or somehow the connection is lost to that session. So inorder to address the above issues you can try the below steps I have taken a typical example of Weblogic Application Server.You may change the based on your Application Server startup s...
