Grails MS SQLServer 2008 jdbc driver causes problems in tomcat - sql-server

What is the official way to use the microsoft jdbc driver for mssql in a grails application?
The general opinion that I found through googling is that I only have to drop the jar in the lib directory of the grails app. This works if I do a grails clean and grails compile --refresh-dependencies. But when I deploy on a real server I have two problems.
When redeploying there is this a warning in the logs.
24.05.2013 16:03:03 com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.AuthenticationJNI
WARNUNG: Failed to load the sqljdbc_auth.dll cause : no sqljdbc_auth in java.library.path
I'm not sure if its something to care about since its a warning. But I would like to have my logs clean and I have the dll in the lib directory of the application just as google is saying. Additionally on redeployment there are several messages like this that might relate to the first one:
24.05.2013 16:03:02 org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader clearThreadLocalMap
SCHWERWIEGEND: A web application created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GroovyCategorySupport.MyThreadLocal] (value [org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GroovyCategorySupport$MyThreadLocal#76fe8d1b]) and a value of type [null] (value [null]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed.
And the last thing is that my coworker said, that she thinks the driver should not be installed on a per application basis but directly into tomcat. I actually don't know how to do this, but if I did it, this would cause a problem on the development machine since I don't know how to get grails run-app going without the driver in the applications lib directory.

You can still place the library in the lib folder of your project and just exclude this from the war generation.
You don't need to exclude the jar everytime you build your project, just follow this post tip.
In your Tomcat server the jar will be placed in the shared lib folder instead of each web application.
If after that you still get the warning about sqljdbc_auth.dll you will need to locate this file and add the folder in the Tomcat classpath (or copy to Tomcat lib folder).

Java FX JAR File can not find SQL Server Driver

I fought for 8 hours yesterday getting my Java FX (11) Standalone JAR to work at all. I finally did, and now when I run it via java -jar myjar.jar (with path info for fx components), it at least "works" inasmuch as I can see my "own application's" error messages and message boxes lol.
This app needs to connect to SQL Server. It works FINE in IDE (IntelliJ). For JAR, I did not include the SQL Server driver as it is signed. No big deal - figure I'd just deploy it too and put it in the path. However, the JAR file can not "see" the driver (or the class - not sure) when run. Here is the info:
SQL Server driver is mssql-jdbc-8.2.2.jre11.jar
My connection Code is:
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectString); and connectString = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;database=mydatabase;userName=myuser;password=mypword"
Again - this WORKS FINE in IDE. However, run from jar, it gets "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;database=mydatabase;userName=myuser;password=mypword"
I have put the mssql-jdbc-8.2.2.jre11.jar into the same directory as the jar. I have included it in the MANIFEST.MF with Class-Path: mssql-jdbc-8.2.2.jre11.jar and also tried it in a "lib" subdirectory from the jar file with Class-Path: /lib. Nothing Works! I just keep getting the "no suitable driver" error. The full manifest file looks like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: /lib
Main-Class: com.product.Launcher
Here is the full call from command line that actually launches the app: java --module-path C:/Users/KMatson/Documents/JetBrains/openjfx-11.0.2_windows-x64_bin-sdk/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib/ --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics -jar myjar.jar This does run the app, but as soon as app tries to connect to SQL, I get the error.
Also tried the old-style Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver") to no avail even thought it should not be necessary, and isn't needed run from IDE.
This is driving me crazy and has taken WAY more time than it should. I'm new to all this, and hope it is something simple I am overlooking or unaware of. Any help MUCH appreciated.
OK - here is the (intermediate) answer that worked for me. Apparently, having the "--module path" declaration in the cmd line was overriding the Class-path in the MANIFEST somehow. Either that or something was - dunno - didn't think i had a "modular" project. I'm not building from Maven, and module-info is not active.
Anyway - I simply put the driver jar in the "module path" I use from cmd, and it worked. I'm now trying to figure out how to make this thing "double clickable" so i don't have to issue from cmd line or use a batch file.

Changing version of cxf on Service Mix

I want to change the version of cxf on Service Mix 7.0.1 where cxf version is 3.1.9 . Because of using Brave tracing that is implemented in 3.1.12 version of cxf.
So Is there a way to change the version of the CXF on Service Mix.
I have deleted manually everything in the system/apache/cxf folder that has 3.1.9 version and add a file with 3.2.5 version. But it is still not working. When I write feature:list all of the cxf dependencies are with 3.1.9 version...
Deleting files from the system folder won't work. It does not scan the system folder for files, but rather uses it as a cache to go looking for specific versions. You don't need to add new versions to system either because it will download them from the central maven repo it they arn't in system.
If it starts up without a data folder, it will install features & versions listed in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg
One would expect to be able to delete the data folder, change the version in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg & start it up, but I tried that and Camel was broken. Unsure why.
I find it easier to deal with it using the management console.
Install the management console by dropping the following xml file into the deploy folder:
<features name="features-murray" xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.0.0 http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.2.0">
<repository>mvn:io.hawt/hawtio-karaf/1.5.7/xml/features</repository>
<feature name="murray" version="1" install="auto">
<feature>hawtio-offline</feature>
</feature>
</features>
Then point your browser at http://localhost:8181/hawtio and login with SMX/SMX.
From OSGI/Features add the your new feature version with the plus button:
mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/3.1.12/xml/features
It may take some time to install, because it downloads it from the net. I found it bounced me out of the management console also, but after logging back in I could uninstall the old cxf 3.1.9. It again logged me out of the management console, but after logging back in I had Camel active and CXF on 3.1.12.
No testing though - goodness knows what else is broken.

KNIME Command Line Execution - ClassNotFoundException

I'd like to schedule a KNIME workflow. The workflow does its job very good as long as I start it from the KNIME GUI application. When I execute the same workflow via command line, java complains that com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
could not be found (ClassNotFoundException).
I invoke it via:
"D:\Progamme\KNIME\knime.exe" -nosplash -application -consoleLog org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -preferences="absolutepathto\preferences.epf" -workflowDir="absolutepathto\workflow"
Since the error message signals missing content in the java CLASSPATH I also tried to add the parameters
-vmargs -classpath .;"absolutepathto/sqljdbc42.jar"
But still I earn a java slap, pointing to the same error...
I also tried to run the command from within the knime.exe's directory and I also tried to add the JAR file to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variable / User Libraries (referenced via the -preference argument). But that had no effect.
Did anybody face the same problems? Maybe with other third party JARs?
It is all about a Database connector that is configured like this:
Does the integrated security maybe force a misleading error?
System spec: KNIME 3.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2
Update - extract from preferences file
/configuration/org.eclipse.core.net/org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=10
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/RECENT_WORKSPACES=<list of some workspaces>
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=3
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_RECENT_WORKSPACES=false
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
Is there maybe a problem due to the fact that it is a shared KNIME instance among several users and the command line execution does not know which workspace has to be chosen? Is the workspace somehow needed and why?
Partial Solution:
I finally managed it but I don't know exactly why it works now. What I did was to load a fresh portable version of KNIME and ran the same commands only changing the executable path to the new portable version. Before that I started the portable version once to set the workspace directory and register the database driver in preferences dialog and .ini file, nothing else, same configuration so far as the shared KNIME instance. What I am really wondering abpout is that from now on the commands are also working with the shared KNIME instance. I really don't know what caused the change that let KNIME find the driver class.
Info
Because I encountered a few more problems within shared environment in KNIME command line mode, that led to undeterministic execution results, I wrote a little .NET library. This gives me more flexibility/control over the workflow execution (which returncodes and error messages occured and so on). You can find it here if you're interested: KnimeNet
I took a very minimal approach:
cd "C:\Program Files\KNIME"
.\knime -nosplash -noexit -consoleLog -reset -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowFile="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.knwf" -preferences="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.epf"

Unable to deploy app to App engine

I have a GWT based web application that I have previously uploaded to Appspot.
However now, I am getting this error:

The application used JDK (not JRE)
There's a JSP file (dummy) on the war file
The application works in hosted mode
Do a clean build first. Alt+P, N in eclipse. If this fails, delete /war/WEB-INF/classes and try again. If this also fails, right click your war folder and select validate; this will tell you if there are any actual errors in your jsp files.
If this fails, your appengine jars may be corrupted. Try unzipping a fresh SDK and using it to deploy.
Also, have you changed java versions recently? Compiling JSPs requires JAVA_HOME points to a JDK, not a JRE. What is the result of echo $JAVA_HOME?
this thread will solve your problem
Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE
Other wise, you need to set your JAVA_HOME to point to your jdk folder and add javaw.exe path in your eclipse.ini

Ushahidi No Input File Specified

I have been trying to install Ushahidi platform for weeks but without any luck. I recently started over using Ushahidi latest release ushahidi-Ushahidi_Web-2.0.1-140-g0991172.zip and extracted it to folder ushahidi under my root.
I am using godaddy Linux server. I have tried both the manual and wizard to setup Ushahidi. In all cases, after installation, I get the same error when I try to access admin page. The error reads:
No input file specified.
I have tried tried installing using the wizard and the manual process. My PHP version is as required.
Any help will be appreciated. I need it to work so I can move on and customize it. Very disappointing such a good open source tool has poor installation guides!
Thanks.
Sting
there are a few things that can trip up following the installation.
Make sure that:
mod_rewrite is turned on in apache "a2enmod rewrite"
AllowOverride All is set in your apache config for your site (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default)
your .htaccess file points to the correct webroot
