[opencms-dev] Problems with WebSphere 6.1 and OpenCms 7.0.4

Fri Aug 1 13:27:07 CEST 2008

I'm going to reinstall WebSphere because when I was desperated I copied 
all the JBOSS jars on the classpath of the WebSphere... ;)
It will be better if I follow your steps with a clean installation of 
WebSphere (thanks God that's a testing enviroment)

I'll let you know. Thanks!

Re: [opencms-dev] Problems with WebSphere 6.1 and OpenCms 7.0.4

I don't know about that error, but a little googling points to this: 
http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2005q4/020154.html.
I guess you have a class loading collision between Javax and Xalan. Are 
you loading Xalan jar library explicitly?

Maybe you want to override the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory 
custom property such as: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=javax.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory?

This are just guesses ;-)

Hi Oliver, 

I followed your steps and now I have different exceptions. 

After installing OpenCms, when I first open the main page of OpenCms 
(before login), Somo elements of the css are not well resolved and the 
page is not correctly displayed. The error log is the next one (see 
log_0.txt) 

java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl incompatible with 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory 
(...) 
javax.servlet.ServletException: VFS target resource 
"/system/modules/org.opencms.frontend.templatetwo/resources/css/style.css" 
was already included earlier 
(...) 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 

After that, I tried to open de demo and a error page appeared with this 
errors (see log_1.txt): 

java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl incompatible with 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory 
(...) 
java.lang.NullPointerException 
(...) 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 

If after seeing that error page, I refresh it, a empy blank page is shown 
with this error (see log_2.txt): 

javax.servlet.ServletException: VFS target resource 
"/demo_de/start.html" was already included earlier 
(...) 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 

I've looking at this thread: 
http://www.opencms-forum.de/opencms-forum/viewthread?thread=1141#5797 

Should I do somethig of these instructions? 

Have you any idea of what kind of problem I have? 

Thanks a lot

Re: [opencms-dev] Problems with WebSphere 6.1 and OpenCms 7.0.4

Hi Raul, 

I haven't had such problems, but I had some others when installing OpenCms 
on WebSphere. 
First, use OpenCms 7.0.5 if you can. You will be sure to have a proper 
"upload" functionality. 

Then, sometimes I had a lot of strange problems, but it was due to an 
unproper setup process. So I suggest you uninstall the application 
completely, and then re-install it. 

Now, I will probably propose a documentation I wrote for WebSphere 6.0 to 
the community but untill it is ready, I can share this with you. Following 
these steps, I could always have working OpenCms :-) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

1.4. Install with IBM Console
Login to the IBM console, go to Enterprise Applications and click install.
Choose the war file.
Set the context root to /opencms.
Leave default values for the rest of the installation.
For installation options, choose your application name, for instance 
OPENCMS.
Don't forget to map the application to an application server & IHS.
1.5. Configure the application server & application
In IBM console, add the following custom properties to the application 
server:
Name Value
java.awt.headless true
client.encoding.override UTF-8
Locate OpenCms application and change the following properties:
• WebModule (find opencms.war module) => set Classloader Mode: PARENT_LAST 
(on WAS 6.1: "Classes loaded with application class loader first")
• set WAR Classloader Policy: Application (on WAS 6.1: Class loading and 
update detection / WAR class loader policy: change to "Single class loader 
for application")
1.6. Run Setup
Start the application server.
Access OpenCms setup. Example: http://myhost/opencms/setup
The import of modules takes a lot of time… but you should end up with such 
a message:
1.7. Run the application 
At the end of setup, stop the application server and restart.
Then access the application, for example at:
http://myhost/opencms/opencms/system/login/
You should finally be prompted with the login page!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This does not seem to be directly linked to your problem, but hopefully, 
if you restart the installation process from scratch and follow these 
steps, you will be up and running :-) These instructions should work on 
6.0 or 6.1.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Problems with WebSphere 6.1 and OpenCms 7.0.4

Hi. 

I'm trying to run OpenCms 7.0.4 undar WebSphere 6.1 and I'm having some 
problemas. 

First of all, I noticed that, at the Welcome page  (
http://localhost:9080/opencms/opencms/demo_en/intro.html )   I can't see 
the "red boxes". I'm refering to the elements that you can put everywhere. 
The only things I can see is the main text, and the left menu. If I have a 
look to the source code, and I compare it with the one generated using the 
same version of OpenCms with JBOSS, I notice that some elements are not 
"traslated" and that "red boxes" will never appear. I tried to edit some 
jsp that a I thought they were the ones that must use, and by deleting a 
catch, I finally saw a trace of the error 
"com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppErrorReport: 
javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: No function is mapped to the name 
"cms:vfs""

Othe problem related to this one is when openning some demo pages, the 
ones refered to the dictionary, OpenCms shows me a page with the text 
above "No function is mapped to the name cms:vfs". I don't know how to fix 
it. I've been searching for info for 3 days and I'm stuck at the same 
place. 

I've tried to deploy the webapp with java5, java6, java 1.4 (and adding 
the related opencms java 1.4 compatibility). I've tried to config 
websphere classloader polices (parent_first, parent_last), ading some 
argument to the WebSphere JVM initialization... I've looked to the .tld to 
see the cms:vfs was correctly mapped, and also I've added some externar 
jars (but I don't know if I did it in a correct way) to try to fix el EL 
exception... I don't know what more I can do. 

I also have a secondary problem with de fck editor, while trying to ad an 
image in a free text page, when I click on the Explote button, some xml 
parsing errors appear. Maybe they are related with the libs I need to run 
correctly OpenCms under WebSphere, I don't know... 

If there is anyone that has correctly installed that version of OpenCms 
under WebSphere, or anyone has an idea that can help me, please let me 
know. 

Thanks everybody!
