Is there a way to quickly call onServerStart in the Server.cfc component without actually restarting the service?
you can call it by creating an instance of the server.cfc
objServer = createObject("component", "server");
objServer.onServerStart();

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I unfortunately have an assignment due! I am running apache axis under tomcat and need to deploy a simple web service class, see below.
I installed the counter file below as "MyCounter.jws" in the /tomcat/webapps/axis/ folder. Tomcat finds it and makes a corresponding MyCounter.xml. I use WSDL2Java on the XML file and client calls seem to work, but internal state is not saved:
Every time I call MyCounter.call from the client side, the return value is always 1. It seems the constructor is always called before the method call. How can I make it so the mycounter integer persists across requests?
public class MyCounter
{
int mycounter;
public MyCounter()
{
mycounter = 0;
}
public int call()
{
mycounter++;
return mycounter;
}
}
I think persisting is maybe the wrong word, I think what you mean is that the Java Class is not instantiated every time you call the service.
See: https://axis.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#Scoped_Services
So you would need to change the Service definition yo achieve this.
I don't think that with the JWS files you will be able to configure the session scope. As the docs say:
https://axis.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#JWS_Java_Web_Service_Files_-_Instant_Deployment
Quote:
Important: JWS web services are intended for simple web services. You
cannot use packages in the pages, and as the code is compiled at run
time you can not find out about errors until after deployment.
Production quality web services should use Java classes with custom
deployment.
So if you want to use such features you should consider using some of the other ways Axis offers to setup a WebService.
Also I would strongly recommend using Axis2 instead of Axis1:
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/
Axis1 can be quite complicated with the WSDD files to setup. Apart from Axis1 no more actively developed/maintained.
I'm new to OTRS (3.2) and also new to PERL but I have been given the task of setting up OTRS so that it will make a call to our remote webservice so a record can be created on our end when a ticket is set as "Closed".
I set up various dynamic fields so the customer service rep can fill in additional data that will be passed into the webservice call along with ticket details.
I couldn't get the webservice call to trigger when the ticket was "Closed" but I did get it to trigger when the "priority" was changed so I'm just using that now to test the webservice.
I'm just using the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm files that were included with OTRS.
When I look at the Debugger for the Webserice, I can see that the calls were being made:
$VAR1 = {
'TicketID' => '6'
};
My webservice currently just has one method "create" which just returns true for testing.
however I get the following from the Test.pm
"Got no TicketNumber (2014-09-02 09:20:42, error)"
and the following from the TestSimple.pm
"Error in SOAP call: 404 Not Found at /TARGET/SHARE/var/otrs/Kernel/GenericInterface/Transport/HTTP/SOAP.pm line 578 (2014-09-02 09:20:43, error)
I've spent countless hours on Google but couldn't find anything on this. All I could find is code for the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm but nothing really helpful to help me create a custom invoker for my needs and configure the webservice in OTRS to get it to work.
Does anyone have any sample invokers that I can look at to see how to set it up?
Basically I need to pass the ticket information along with my custom dynamic fields to my webservice. From there I can create the record on my end and do whatever processing.
I'm not sure how to setup the Invoker to pass the necessary ticket fields and dynamic fields and how to make it call a specific method in my remote webservice.
I guess getting the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm to work is the first step then I can modify those for my needs. I have not used PERL at all so any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm also struggling with similar set of requirements too. I've also never programmed in PERL, but I can tell you at least that the "Got no TicketNumber" in the Test.pm is right from the PrepareRequest method, there you can see this block of code:
# we need a TicketNumber
if ( !IsStringWithData( $Param{Data}->{TicketNumber} ) ) {
return $Self->{DebuggerObject}->Error( Summary => 'Got no TicketNumber' );
}
You should change all references to TicketNumber to TicketID, or remove the validation whatsoever (also there is mapping to ReturnedData variable).
Invoking specific methods on your WS interface is quite simple (but poorly documented). The Invoker name that you specify in the "OTRS as requester" section of web service configuration corresponds to the WS method that will be called. So if you have WS interface with a method called "create" just name the Invoker "create" too.
As far as the gathering of dynamic field goes, can't help you on that one yet, sorry.

I have a script :
<cfscript>
gf = createObject('component','com.general');
gf.checkIpBlocked();
</cfscript>
that I want to fire onSessionStart.
I added an onSessionStart to /siteID/includes/themes/myTheme/eventHandler.cfc. But the session start NEVER fires. I know there is something managing sessions because of I open the admin, login then close the browser, re-open it I am forced to login again.
If I set a session variable close the browser and and the session.testVar never goes away and seems to hold the initial value for a very long time.
I am not trying to manage mura users or anything I am just trying to set a session variable the first time in a "session". In a typical application.cfc this is easy.
Any insight is appreciated.
Unfortunately, that's a bug. However, one thing to keep in mind is that onSiteSessionStart is unreliable since it only fires when a siteID is defined within the request. For example, if you were to go to the admin and be asked to login your session will have started and there would have been no siteID.
For now I would try using onSiteRequestStart to param the variable instead.
function onSiteRequestStart($){
param name="session.ipChecked" default=false;
if(!session.ipChecked){
var gf = createObject('component','com.general');
gf.checkIpBlocked();
session.ipChecked=true;
}
}
In regard to our documentation we have three Mura 6 books available both printed and digital downloads from Lulu
And are also working to create a systematic way to post the contents of those books on our support site which we are hoping to complete by MuraCon on 9/30. So that the all of our documentation will stay update and in sync.
The Mura docs state that the application events are actually onGlobalSessionStart and/or onSiteSessionStart.
Application Events
onApplicationLoad onSiteSessionStart
onGlobalSessionStart onSiteSessionEnd
onSiteMissingTemplate onSiteError
onGlobalError onBeforeAutoUpdate
onAfterAutoUpdate onGlobalThreatDetect
Note that Events that begin with onGlobal are deļ¬ned on a per-Mura
instance basis.

I am new to the wsdl\soapmessage query\reply world( if i can put it in this way), and I am facing some difficulties using the following wsdl( which I really really hope, one will be so kind to look at at least one of the services described there)
http://almdemo.polarion.com/polarion/ws/services/TrackerWebService?wsdl
which was provided to me to develop a matlab webinterface. Right now my matlab code looks like this:
targetNamespace = 'http://ws.polarion.com/TrackerWebService';
method = 'queryWorkItems';
values= {'Query','Sort'}
names = {'query', 'sort'}
types ={'xsd:string','xsd:string'}
message = createSoapMessage( targetNamespace, method, values, names, types)
response = callSoapService('http://almdemo.polarion.com/polarion/ws/services',...
% Service's endpoint
'http://almdemo.polarion.com/polarion/#/workitems',...
% Server method to run
message)
% SOAP message created using createSoapMessage
author = parseSoapResponse(response)
Herewith to save you time I will just enonce my two problems:
Is the code correct?
Could someone tell me if such a wsdl link is just a definition of webservices or it is also a service's endpoint?
Normally to execute manually\per clicks this services on the weppage
http://almdemo.polarion.com/polarion, you have to login!
So how do I send a message in matlab which first log me in? Or must such a service be introduced into that wsdl for me to do it?? Could you be kind enough to write how it must be defined, because I don't really
write wsdl files, but I shall learn!**
I will be really thankful for your help and I wish you a happy week(-end) guys(& girls)!!!
Regards
Chrysmac
ps: I tried to use Soapui and gave that webpage as endpoint, but the toool crashes each time I enter my credentials! Maybe because of the dataload!??
G'day
Is there a way to force the mail spooler to run, rather than wait for the delay period set in CFAdmin?
I had a look through the admin API and could not see anything, so I suspect the answer might be "no", but I thought perhaps someone knows how to call the underlying process?
The reason for wanting to do this is a bit of an edge case. On our testing server we've got the spooler set to run every 15sec, which - for most things - is fine. However we have an increasing number of unit tests (which run on this same test server) which inspect the content of email messages that have been sent for various elements we need to verify the integrity of. Currently the tests check the Undelivr dir and if the relevant mail message is not found, waits 2sec and tries again, waiting for a total of 20sec before deciding the test needs to be aborted (20sec is an arbitrary amount; 15sec between spool intervals, and some "wriggle room"). This works fine, but it means the unit test suite ends up running slower than it really needs to be, because these email-checking tests have this "up to 20sec" pause in them.
It's not the end of the world, but it's something I'd like to deal with if poss.
I guess one approach I could take is to check the spool dir instead, but I'd rather wait until the email message is "parked" in the Undelivr dir if poss. I'm slightly hesitant to mess with stuff in the spool dir (for no informed reason, granted).
Anyway, all my waffle aside, the short version of the question is "is there any way to force mail spool to run via code?".
Cheers.
<cfobject action="CREATE"
type="JAVA"
class="coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory"
name="factory">
<cfset MailSpoolService = factory.getMailSpoolService()>
<cfset MailSpoolService.restart()>
OK, I've got the official line from one of the Adobe engineers on this: basically what I'm trying to do can't be done, as it currently stands.
There's a method to re-run the email spool, but it's private to the mail spool service.
Oh well.
Cheers to everyone who looked into this for me & offered suggestions.
There's a method to re-run the email spool, but it's private to the
mail spool service.
As I mentioned in the comments, you can invoke a private method by setting its accessibility to true. Not something you want to do "willy-nilly", but probably okay for a unit test.
Disclaimer: I would not swear these are the right methods. But it did seem to kick-off mail processing in my brief tests.
<cfscript>
// Tested with CF 9.0.1
factory = createObject("java", "coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory");
spoolService = factory.getMailSpoolService();
spoolClass = spoolService.getClass();
methodToCall = spoolClass.getDeclaredMethod("refreshSpoolFiles", []);
methodToCall.setAccessible(true);
methodToCall.invoke(spoolService, []);
methodToCall = spoolClass.getDeclaredMethod("deliverStandard", []);
methodToCall.setAccessible(true);
methodToCall.invoke(spoolService, []);
</cfscript>
