differences between liferay 6.1 service builder and liferay 6.0 - web-services

I want to create web service in liferay 6.1. But if i do such things, like in liferay 6.0 i have errors like java.io.IOException: Type {http://model.test.liferay.com}xxxx is referenced but not defined.

We have been having this error as well. I have posted multiple times on the liferay forums and contacted them directly (enterprise customer), but no one cares.
So we fixed it by staying on version 6.0.6

I gave up after discovering these API changes.
in docroot/WEB-INF/src/META-INF/shard-data-source-spring.xml
6.0.6:
com.liferay.portal.dao.shard.ShardAdvice
6.1:
com.liferay.portal.dao.shard.advice.ShardAdvice
docroot/WEB-INF/src/META-INF/base-spring.xml
6.0.6
com.liferay.portal.spring.annotation.BeanReferenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor
6.1
com.liferay.portal.spring.bean.BeanReferenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor
It seems not to be so easy to develop on 6.0.6 and to deploy on 6.1. (vice versa I didn't try)

Sync framework 2.1 and 2.0

I have this type of architecture- Tablet application,Desktop Application,web application.. In tablet application its sync framework 2.1.Desktop 2.0 web 2.0 When syncing from Tab to Desktop i am upgrading metadata to 2.1, sync works fine between tab and desktop...Now when trying to sync between Desktop and Web it throws error as metadata of desktop app is upgraded. I cant upgrade web metadata as many desktop users are using 2.0 framework in their desktop. can anyone suggest me wat to do in this scenario.
unfortunately, you can't mix and match the metadata version. its either you upgrade everyone or you don't. (i think that's actually explicitly mentioned in the metadata upgrade docs.)

Need Suggestion on How to get data from SharePoint Online for Windows 8.1 App

I recently working on a Windows 8.1 App, which was developed with C# and XAML. SharePoint Online is used for Data store.
I searched and found that Wictor solution can be used for Authentication. but the problem is that we can not use Wictor solution [http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/How-to-do-active-authentication-to-Office-365-and-SharePoint-Online.aspx] directly as it is built upon .Net framework and Metro Apps are built upon .NetCore.
One possible option is to use WCF service and have whole Wictor solution in WCF service then call WCF service from Windows App. I tested it and it is working fine.
However, I wanted to know what would be the best approach available if I don't want to deploy this WCF separately. In future I have to publish this Win App on Windows store.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

WSO2 Carbon Feature Stack - UES and Data Services Server

I would like to create a carbon server composed of multiple features; namely the User Engagement Server (UES) and the Data Services Server (DSS). UES is only carbon 4.1.0 based and DSS is 4.2.0 or 3.0.1 based. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, what are my alternatives for utilizing the functionality of both features set?
I have looked over wso2.org and other resources for help; however, I'm failing to find best practices for deploying a custom carbon solution and upgrading to future version. In another post I found a compatibility matrix, but the answer indicates that there is neither forward or backward compatibility.
WSO2 products will have API level changes between two different platform releases (as in 4.1.0 vs 4.2.0 [Turing]). So installing features from different platform versions will not work in most cases.
However, UES does have features based on a carbon 4.2.0 kernel (UES 1.0.1) and you can install the required features from the latest p2 feature repository here. It includes UES 1.0.1 feature which is based on Carbon 4.2.0 kernel. You might want to wait till DSS 3.1.1 is officially released (due to be released in about a week) which has some important bug fixes and improved stability.
To get features of both products, it would be easier to install UES features on top of a DSS product or vice versa, rather than installing both feature sets on a bare bones carbon server, since you may have to additionally install some kernel patches, configuration files, which are not installed during a feature installation.
HTH,

TomEE lookup errors

I've a WebApp that uses tomcat and openejb in separate installations. I'm trying to move this to a TomEE (web profile / plus) environment and I'm running into lookup errors. JNDIContext is throwing a java.lang.NullPointerException.
I tried w/ TomEE web profile first. My webapp also uses web services and google search lead me to try TomEE plus because the web profile doesn't support web services. No luck w/ this version either.
One difference between the two version is that in the TomEE web profile, I see all the Remote objects when I access the openejb webapp. However I don't see them w/ TomEE plus version.
http://localhost:8080/openejb/viewjndi.jsp
Any suggestions of how I could resolve this? I'm guessing it is configuration issue and I don't know which one.
Here is the complete stack trace:

TomEE Plus is definitely the right distro to use if migrating from an OpenEJB/Tomcat install. They match identically in features with the difference that the stack now supports full EJB 3.1, JAP 2.0 and JAX-RS. The Web Profile version of TomEE is quite a bit leaner and lacks WebServices, JMS and any non-WebProfile requirement. Here's a brief comparison of APIs supported.
That looks like a bug that was fixed with TomEE 1.0.0-beta-2 released in January. If you can give it a try, it'd be wonderful. We will absolutely want to make sure any issues you might face are cleared up before the 1.0.0 GA.

Glassfish, railo and coldbox - messed up links?

I am new to ColdFusion and ColdBox (and programming). I tried to setup ColdBox but some of the links in the sample applications are broken.
My configuration is a GlassFish v3 installation with the current Railo OSS. I access my site through Apache 2.2.14.
So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/railo/ I access my environment trough http://railo/.
In Railo I have a webroot mapping / to C:/webapps/myproject/.
I have copied the current ColdBox 3M4 to C:/webapps/myproject/coldbox. I can access the dashboard through http://railo/coldbox/dashboard/index.cfm and have access to all options.
My problems start the moment I try to open the sample gallery:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\webapps\viss-dev\coldbox\samples
(Zugriff verweigert)
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are
available in the GlassFish v3 logs.
GlassFish v3
OK, no problem, just enter the link directly: http://railo/coldbox/samples/index.cfm.
The site looks plain, who cares - BUT all local links look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/coldbox/samples/applications/helloworld/index.cfm (railo is replaced with 127.0.0.1:8080).
Looks like trouble. To make my confusion perfect: when I try to access the login app: http://railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm and hit the submit button, I am redirected to this address: http://railo/railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm.
I believe that this is not really ColdBox-related, but it manifests itself when I try to use ColdBox, so here I am.
P.S.: amazon.de takes too long to ship the ColdBox book :(
Here's a suggestion, The good people at Vivotech have developed a couple of different installers for both Windows/IIS7 and various flavours of Linux for both Railo and Open BlueDragon. The setup installs Tomcat, Railo/Open Blue Dragon and the necessary connectors to the web server. Here's the link: http://www.viviotech.net/company/installers.cfm
I think you'll find using the installers to be a lot easier than working through it yourself. If you want to go that route, Adobe and various bloggers have instructions on how to do it. Matt Woodward has a very good blog posting on it: see MattWoodward.com, He also has a presentation on this, you can see it here.

Since you are new to ColdFusion (and programming in general), I would recommend developing against Adobe ColdFusion. The Developer Edition of ColdFusion is free and available from Adobe.com. You won't need to mess around or configure GlassFish since Adobe ColdFusion comes with a baked-in pre-configured Tomcat, providing both servlet engine and web server.
Just install the 'Stand-alone' version of ColdFusion Developer Edition, copy the ColdBox files into the webroot and in less than 15 minutes you be up and running.
You should also check out ColdFusion Builder which is currently available in beta from http://labs.adobe.com. It has full language support and integrated help content for learning the ins-outs of the language.
As far as the ColdBox book goes, it's available as an eBook if you really can't wait. ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I spend about 50% of my waking life devoted to making ColdFusion better as the CF Product Manager at Adobe. :-)
i have given up on glassfish and i am now struggling with tomcat :D
