The below web services code has worked properly for me for over a year. We have updated our SharePoint servers, and now the below code throws an exception (at the bottom line of code) "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
UserProfileWS.UserProfileService userProfileService = new UserProfileWS.UserProfileService();
userProfileService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
string serviceloc = "/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx";
userProfileService.Url = _webUrl + serviceloc;
UserProfileWS.PropertyData[] info = userProfileService.GetUserProfileByName(null);
EDIT: The service is still there. I browse http:///_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx, and the information for the service is still there, including the full description of the GetUserProfileByName call.
EDIT2: This does appear to be due to a change in SharePoint. I loaded a previous version of my software (known to be working), and it exhibits the same erroneous behavior.
try
UserProfileWS.PropertyData[] info = userProfileService.GetUserProfileByName(userName);
as specified http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.userprofiles.userprofileservice.getuserprofilebyname(v=office.12).aspx
When was the farm updated? Was the WSS updates installed before the MOSS updates? If you believe it to be a problem as a result of infrastructure updates, build a test farm and try the code against pre-updates (go back as far as a year ago to start off).

I recently started using commandBox to run ColdFusion in my local environment. After I played around for a while one issue I run into was related to adminapi. Here is the code that I use in one of my projects:
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.runtime");
instance = adminObj.getInstanceName();
This code is pretty straight forward and work just fine if I install traditional ColdFusion Developer version on my machine. I tried running this on commandBox: "app":{ "cfengine":"adobe#2018.0.7" }
After I run the code above this is the error message I got:
Object Instantiation Exception.
Class not found: com.adobe.coldfusion.entman.ProcessServer
The first debugging step was to check if component exists. I simply checked that like this:
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.runtime");
writeDump(adminObj);
The result I got on the screen was this:
component CFIDE.adminapi.runtime
extends CFIDE.adminapi.base
METHODS
Then I tried this to make sure method exists in the scope:
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.runtime");
writeDump(adminObj.getInstanceName);
The output looks like this, and that confirmed that method getInstanceName exists.
function getInstanceName
Arguments: none
ReturnType: any
Roles:
Access: public
Output: false
DisplayName:
Hint: returns the current instance name
Description:
The error is occurring only if I call the function getInstanceName(). Does anyone know what could be the reason of this error? Is there any solution for this particular problem? Like I already mentioned this method works in traditional ColdFusion 2018 developer environment. Thank you.
This is a bug in Adobe ColdFusion. The CFC you're creating is trying to create an instance of a specific Java class. I recognize the class name com.adobe.coldfusion.entman.ProcessServer as being related to their enterprise manager which controls features only available in certain versions of CF as well as features only available on their "standard" Tomcat installation (as opposed to a J2E deployment like CommandBox).
Please report this to Adobe in the Adobe bug tracker as they appear to be incorrectly detecting the servlet installation. I worked with them a couple years ago to improve their servlet detection on CommandBox, but I guess they still have some issues.
As a workaround, you could try and find out what jar that class is from on a non-CommandBox installation of Adobe ColdFusion and add it to the path, but I can't promise that it will work and that it won't have negative consequences.
From within a running Java application running on beanstalk, how can I get the beanstalk version label that is currently running?
[Multiple Edits later...]
After a few back-and-forth comments with Sony (see below), I wrote the following code which works for me now. If you put meaningful comments in your version label when you deploy, then this will tell you what you're running. We have a continuous build environment, so we can get our build environment to supply a label that leads to the check-in comments for the related code. Put this all together, and your server can tell you exactly what code its running relative to your source code check-ins. Really useful for us. OK now I'm actually answering my own question here, but with invaluable help from Sony. Seems a shame you can't remove the hard-coded values and query for those at runtime.
String getMyVersionLabel() throws IOException {
Region region = Region.getRegion(Regions.fromName("us-west-2")); // Need to hard-code this
AWSCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new ClasspathPropertiesFileCredentialsProvider();
AWSElasticBeanstalkClient beanstalk = region.createClient(AWSElasticBeanstalkClient.class, credentialsProvider, null);
String environmentName = System.getProperty("PARAM2", "DefaultEnvironmentName"); // Need to hard-code this too
DescribeEnvironmentsResult environments = beanstalk.describeEnvironments();
for (EnvironmentDescription ed : environments.getEnvironments()) {
if (ed.getEnvironmentName().equals( environmentName)) {
return "Running version " + ed.getVersionLabel() + " created on " + ed.getDateCreated());
break;
}
}
return null;
}
You can use AWS Java SDK and call this directly.
See the details of describeApplicationVersions API for how to get all the versions in an application.Ensure to give your regions as well (otherwise you will get the versions from the default AWS region).
Now, if you need to know the version deployed currently, you need to call additionally the DescribeEnvironmentsRequest. This has the versionLabel, which tells you the the version currently deployed.
Here again, if you need to know the environment name in the code, you need to pass it as a param to the beanstalk configuration in the aws console, and access as a PARAM.
I'm writing an application that needs to access to Outlook address book, however, every time I launch it a warning message is shown saying that an application is trying to access to your adress book. I've noticed this behaviour only with the machines where no antivirus is installed. How to get rid of this message?
Here is a part of the code I use to retreive some emails related informations
CApplication l_application;
l_application.CreateDispatch("Outlook.Application");
CNameSpace l_namespace = l_application.GetNamespace(_T("MAPI"));
CMAPIFolder l_mapiFolder = l_namespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);
CItems l_items = l_mapiFolder.GetItems();
m_mailItem = l_items.GetLast();
m_mailItem.Save();
//Get infos (mail's size, from, to, conversation topic...)
CApplication, CNameSpace, CItems are generated automatically, and m_mailItem is a CMailItem object.
See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52 for a list of your options. Essentially you can either make sure an up-to-date antivirus app is installed or use Redemption (I am its author).
I am working with a CF10 application and trying to define application specific classpaths to load JARs using the this.javaSettings feature introduced in CF10.
From Application.cfc:
THIS.javaSettings = {
LoadPaths = [".\java_lib\",".\java\myjar.jar"],
loadColdFusionClassPath = true,
reloadOnChange = false
}
This is working great, and I can define JARs on an application basis. However, every time I reload the application (for example, if I call applicationStop()) then CF seems to hold on to all the loaded JARs/classes at the same time re-loading them all - which means after a number of reloads I inevitably get an out-of-memory Perm Gen error.
Has anyone experienced this? I have tried the usual things by updating GC strategies to enable permgen collection:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
Ok, this was not an issue with the CF feature - turns out that the memory leak was originating in the groovy code that had been compiled in to a jar (you can read groovy details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17952925/258813)
It appears as though the CF10 hot-reloading of jars is working ok!
Using custom C++ OCI wrappers, I can successful register a CQN C++ callback-based registration, but it appears that somehow the subscription is dropped right away, behind my back. I get no call back on simple DMLs. If I try to unregister that subscription, for which register() worked just fine, I get ORA-29970: Specified registration id does not exist.
I'm running this test on a Win7 (64-bit) box, running a local 11.2.0.1.0 Oracle Server, and I connect with a C++ client app built against instantclient-11.2.0.2.0 that runs on that same machine.
I tried setting OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_TIMEOUT explicitly to 0, to no avail.
I checked the job_queue_processes instance param to make sure it's not 0 (it's 1000).
Of course, the user/schema I'm connecting with has been granted CHANGE NOTIFICATION
I'm running out of ideas on this issue, and I would appreciate some insights on what else I could try or check.
I'm starting to wonder if CQN needs to be activated somehow. My DBA skills are close to nonexistent, this is a stock install of 11gR1 on Windows using the installer, with no special configurations or customization done at all.
Thanks, --DD
Update #1
A colleague successfully ran that same test, and he ran it using the server-provided oci.dll. I tried that (I build using instantclient, but forced the PATH at runtime: Path=D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN;$(Path) in VS Property Page> Debugging> Environment), and indeed the CQN test works! We still haven't figured out whether the slight version difference between client and server, or using instantclient (the Light variant by the way) vs a full client vs a server install is the real culprit.
But it is bad news that a newer instantclient does not support CQN...
Update #2
I've tried all 6 combinations of instantclient Light (65 MB) or Normal (150 MB) in versions 12.2.0.(1|2|3).0 on Win64, and none of them worked. Haven't tested the Full Client yet, nor have we tested on Linux just yet.
