Bitbucket pipelines for java artifacts and uploading to AWS s3

 I am new to bitbucket and for whatever reason trying to create a pipeline that builds a java artifact & publishing to an s3 bucket has proved a lot harder than it should.

There were various gotchas.

1. artifacts created in one step are not visible in the next
2. the aws-s3-deploy step insisted on uploading absolutely everything

Anyway, I took the weekend off & resolved my remaining issues in about 5 minutes. Isn't always the way. So here is the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file I have ended up with.

#  Template maven-build

#  This template allows you to test and build your Java project with Maven.
#  The workflow allows running tests, code checkstyle and security scans on the default branch.

# Prerequisites: pom.xml and appropriate project structure should exist in the repository.

JDBI v3 and BatchChunkSize annotation, Only inserting up to the size of the BatchChunkSize

 Well hasn't it been a long time.

We recently upgraded to JDBI v3 and as part of that came across an interesting problem. The issue was that with v3 the insert was only inserting up to the number of rows defined in the annotation. So if the annotation was set at 50 you would get a max of 50 rows inserted.

in v2 we had a method on an interface defined as :

@GetGeneratedKeys 

@SqlBatch("Insert into my_table (......)

@BatchChunkSize(50)

void insertAsBatch(@BindBean("r") List<Foo> foos);

NB: in v2 this returned void

So innocently & clearly incorrectly I changed this to return 'int' assuming that would be the number of rows returned. Note that stupidly we had no test for this.

Users then found that we were only able to insert 50 rows.

Writing a test I then found that the value returned was the ID of the first row inserted. The fix was very simple. Change the return to an int[] IE this:

@GetGeneratedKeys 

@SqlBatch("Insert into my_table (......)

@BatchChunkSize(50)

int[] insertAsBatch(@BindBean("r") List<Foo> foos);

Apache webserver on windows (with same webapp repeated multiple times)

This post covers Apache 2.4 - the latest at the time of writing - Nov 2016

This is something I have wanted to set up for a long time to stop our users going directly to tomcat URLs with port numbers ie http://localhost:7070/foo and instead go to http://localhost/foo

So after a bit of searching & a lot of trial & error I appear to have it working.

We wanted to achieve two things:

1. use the default port 80
2. allow users to have the same web app installed on different tomcats/ports on the same server.

gotcha #1 -If you have Skype running - this has a nasty habbit (on windows atleast) of grabbing port 80.

• In Skype - click on Tools->Options->Advanved->Connection
• In there untick 'Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections'
• stop & restart skype

Some useful resources - there are many ourt there but these two links are very informative:

• http://www.microhowto.info/howto/configure_apache_as_a_reverse_proxy.html
• http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies

Below I will attempt to describe the installation but to jump straight to the host config because this was where I spent most of my time.

gotcha #2 - unix is case sensitive, windows is not, but as I guess Apache is originally built for unix we have an odd interaction. Therefore for windows the Apache names & tomcat names MUST match each other completely both in character & case.

To create an Apache host 'bar' that has the same name (& case) as the tomcat  contrext is easy.

<Location "/bar">
  ProxyPass http://localhost:7070/bar 
  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7070/bar
</Location>

 To create an Apache host with a different name 'foo' proved hard, due something to do with how we were dealing with cookies & the session id of the logged in user. Without the two extra lines the jsessionid appeared in the URL and following other links would fail.

<Location "/foo">
  ProxyPass http://localhost:7070/bar 
  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7070/bar
  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath "/bar" "/foo" 
  ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain "/bar" "/foo" 
</Location>

Not sure why but with tomcat8 I have needed to add two extra lines:

<Location "/foo">
  ProxyPass http://localhost:7070/bar 
  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7070/bar
  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath "/bar" "/foo" 
  ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain "/bar" "/foo"
  SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
  SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

gotch #3 - Pre Requisite VC++: Windows Apache needs Visual C++  You need to download & install the vc_redist.xNN.exe where NN is 64 or 86 depending if you are 64 bit or 32 bit.
Apache Installation

• Firstly a note, tomcat does not need to change at all & you will still be able to go to the tomcat URL as before.
• Getting Apache for windows. Going apache.org then sent me to Apache Lounge to get a pre built version. This is the reccomended option.
• I have installed two addional DLLs  in to the bin directory
• iconv.dll
• isapi_redirect.dll
• Pretty sure isapi_redirect.dll is not needed for me, but it is there & as yet I have not tried it without.
• I have created an ENV variable 'APACHE_WEB_SERVER' so that I can provide apache as a zip & IT can then install it whereever they feell fit.But gotch #4 , the ENV variable MUST use forward slashes eg: c:/utilisoft/Apache24/
• Once set up the service is created using the command:
• httpd -k install
• And uninstalled using:
• httpd -k uninstall

Now here is my httpd.conf. Hopefully you can see this OK:

#
# This is the main APACHE_WEB_SERVER HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.APACHE_WEB_SERVER.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.APACHE_WEB_SERVER.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/access_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/APACHE_WEB_SERVER2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/local/APACHE_WEB_SERVER2/logs/access_log", whereas "/logs/access_log" 
# will be interpreted as '/logs/access_log'.
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/APACHE_WEB_SERVER" instead of "c:\APACHE_WEB_SERVER").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
#ServerRoot "c:/utilisoft/installed/webServers/APACHE_WEB_SERVERHttpd/APACHE_WEB_SERVER24"
ServerRoot "${APACHE_WEB_SERVER}"

#
# Mutex: Allows you to set the mutex mechanism and mutex file directory
# for individual mutexes, or change the global defaults
#
# Uncomment and change the directory if mutexes are file-based and the default
# mutex file directory is not on a local disk or is not appropriate for some
# other reason.
#
# Mutex default:logs

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind APACHE_WEB_SERVER to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent APACHE_WEB_SERVER from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

#EXAMPLE CONFIG
# 'foo' is the name that will be publicly available via the webserver
# If you want to keep the same name change 'foo' to 'bar'
#<Location "/foo">
#  ProxyPass http://localhost:7070/bar 
#  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7070/bar
#  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath "/bar" "/foo" 
#  ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain "/bar" "/foo" 
#</Location>

<Location "/bar">
  ProxyPass http://localhost:7070/bar 
  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7070/bar
</Location>

<Location "/foo">
  ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/bar 
  ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/bar
  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath "/bar" "/foo" 
  ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain "/bar" "/foo" 
</Location>

Two useful tips:

• running 'httpd.exe -S' will show the state of the config & list some issues but not start the WebServer
• running 'httpd.exe' from the command line will also show up some issues whilst running the WebServer 

gotcha #4 - list your hosts in order by longest name first if the have common names

• see 'Worker Sharing' in the Apache docs 

Oracle - copying tables from one schema to another

There may well be other methods but this works for me.

This example copies some tables ('MY_TABLE1','MY_TABLE2',',MY_TABLE3') from a schema  named 'SRC_SCHEMA' to a schema 'DEST_SCHEMA'

1) Create a parameter file (called PARS.txt) describing the tables you want to copy:
   a) using a LIKE

schemas=SRC_SCHEMA dumpfile=some_tables.dmp INCLUDE=TABLE:"LIKE 'MY_TA_%'"

   b) here is an example listing specific tables

schemas=SRC_SCHEMA dumpfile=some_tables.dmp INCLUDE=TABLE:"IN ('MY_TABLE_1','MY_TABLE_2','MY_TABLE_3')"

2) export these tables using expdp

expdp system/password PARFILE=PARS.txt

3) import these tables from the created dump file using impdp.

NB1: there are other options to the parameter TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION. This one will simply overwrite what is there.

NB2: the example shows the remapping of two TABLESPACES as well

impdp system/password TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE dumpfile=some_tables.dmp REMAP_SCHEMA=SRC_SCHEMA:DEST_SCHEMA  REMAP_TABLESPACE=SRC_TSPACE1:DEST_TSPACE1   REMAP_TABLESPACE=SRC_TSPACE2:DEST_TSPACE2

Transient and still getting the error "MappingException: Could not determine type"

So I have a POJO with a field annotated as @Transient as in

private Workbook workbook;
    @Transient
    public Workbook getWorkbook() {
        return workbook;
    }
    public void setWorkbook(Workbook workbook) {
        this.workbook = workbook;
    }

But I am still getting the error:

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook,

Solution: Check your import for @Transient.

If you are using 'import java.beans.Transient;' then you have the wrong one.

It wants to be 'import javax.persistence.Transient'

It looks like this error depends on the type of object you are making transient. If the object is String then it does not complain. In my case I had a poi Workbook class.

subclipse - saving or reusing your SVN repositories

So you want to reuse your list of SVN repositories in another WORKSPACE or in another install of eclipse.

If you use Subversive it is very easy to backup your SVN repositiories:

    This is done by simply going to File -> Export -> Select from General -> Preferences.
    Then on the next step you can tick from a list the preferences you want to export.
    In this list, SVN preferences and SVN repositories should be included.

I have found no way of doing this in Subclipse, so here is a manual method.
NB though it is a total copy, there is no way to just copy a limited set of SVN repositories.

    Navigate to the dir YOUR_WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core       In there there is a file '.svnProviderState'
    This is a binary file but just copy this to the new WORKSPACE in the equivelent directory & that is it.

(Thanks to a colleague at work - Philip Lau for this)

oracle - listing locks & removing them

While logged in as sysadmin, SQL to list any locks on a particular table:

SELECT SID,SERIAL# 
FROM V$SESSION 
WHERE SID IN (SELECT SESSION_ID 
FROM DBA_DML_LOCKS 
WHERE NAME = 'SOME_TABLE_NAME');

SQL to remove a specific lock, using the values from the above SQL:

ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERIALl#';
