Details

Day 1

1. Single EAR contains all application needed features

2. major entry portable at /adminConsole/

3. service end points discovered:

3.1 Remote EJB: mips.minds.service.client.ejb.ClientService mips.minds.service.disseminate.ejb.DisseminationService mips.minds.service.integrate.ejb.IntegrateService mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseService mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseIntegrationService mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseMgtService mips.minds.service.system.ejb.SystemMS

3.2 RMI Service:

mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseWebService
mips.minds.service.system.ejb.SystemMSWebService
mips.minds.service.bulletin.ejb.BulletinServiceWebService
mips.minds.service.login.ejb.LoginWebService

4. EJBs discovered:

BulletinMgtService	( mips.minds.service.bulletin.ejb.BulletinMgtServiceBean )	
SignalService ( mips.minds.service.bulletin.ejb.SignalServiceBean )	
BulletinService ( mips.minds.service.bulletin.ejb.BulletinServiceBean )	
ClientService	( mips.minds.service.client.ejb.ClientServiceBean )	
DisseminationService ( mips.minds.service.disseminate.ejb.DisseminationServiceBean )	
MonitorService ( mips.minds.service.disseminate.ejb.MonitorService )	
IntegrateService ( mips.minds.service.integrate.ejb.IntegrateServiceBean )	
Login ( mips.minds.service.login.ejb.LoginBean )	
PhaseService ( mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseServiceBean )	
PhaseIntegrationService ( mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseIntegrationServiceBean )	
PhaseMgtService ( mips.minds.service.workflow.ejb.PhaseMgtServiceBean )	
SystemMS ( mips.minds.service.system.ejb.SystemMSBean )

5. Basic windup report generated

6. Challenges:

6.1. Failed to connect to database

• Connection could be established in telnet, however, using jdbc connection is failed by TNS nor by thin
• Same connection setting is valid in other machines like Marco's
• Tried ssh-tunneling but still failed

Day 2:

• Resolved the database connectivity issue
• Identifying application depending files
• 3 folders are identified that contains custom build files, namely: conf, deploy and lib
• troubleshoot JAX-RPC error after cleaning the workspace up for bulletin, login, may other services still pending for next action

Updated Webservices (JAX-RPC):

Done:

bulletin.jar
login.jar

Pending:

system.jar
phase.jar
integrate.jar
disseminate.jar
client.jar

Day 3:

• troubleshoot JAX-RPC error after cleaning the workspace up for system, phase
• One Java code issue is found at mips.minds.service.workflow.ObjectNotFoundException with missing default constructor
• Newly generated webservices is able to call to the server backend. however, the method signature is changed
• Troubleshooting the way to solve it by changing the wsdl and jaxrpc mapping definition

Updated Java code for mips.minds.service.workflow.ObjectNotFoundException

package mips.minds.service.workflow;

/**
 * Exception will be thrown by PhaseServiceProvider to indicate business object
 * cannot be found in persistence store.
 */
public class ObjectNotFoundException extends Exception {
	public ObjectNotFoundException() {        
		super("nothing doesn't exist.");
    }	
    public ObjectNotFoundException(String objType, long id) {
        super(objType + " with id[" + id + "] doesn't exist.");
    }
}
