Crash writing simple WSO2/C++ web service client - c++

Has any been able to successfully run with a client using the WSO2/C++ web services package? I've tried just about everything I can think of yet every time I try to run a very simple client I get a crash. Here's some sample code from one of their example programs...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <WSRESTClient.h>
#include <OMElement.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <AxisFault.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace wso2wsf;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
WSRESTClient * sc = new WSRESTClient("http://localhost:9090/axis2/services/echo/echoString");
try
{
sc->initializeClient("echo_rest.log", AXIS2_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE);
}
catch (AxisFault & e)
{
cout << endl << "Error: " << e << endl;
return 0;
}
Options * op = sc->getOptions();
op->setHTTPMethod(AXIS2_HTTP_GET);
sc->setOptions(op);
{
OMNamespace * ns = new OMNamespace("http://ws.apache.org/axis2/services/echo", "ns1");
OMElement * payload = new OMElement(NULL,"echoString", ns);
OMElement * child = new OMElement(payload,"text", NULL);
child->setText("Hello World!");
cout << endl << "Request: " << payload << endl;
OMElement * response;
try
{
response = sc->request(payload, "http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/samples/echo/soap_action");
if (response)
{
cout << endl << "Response: " << response << endl;
}
}
catch (AxisFault & e)
{
cout << endl << "Error: " << e << endl;
}
delete payload;
}
delete sc;
return 0;
}
I get a crash every time at the point of the WRESTClient object construction. It appears to be an issue somewhere in the WSO2 code but I don't get any error message indicating what the exact problem is. My next step will be to build against the source for WSO2 and step through the code which is crashing but I'm hoping someone has encountered this issue before and has some immediate feedback.

Have you considered putting a try/catch-all block around the WRESTClient object construction? If you're core dumping on this line then the chances are that it's throwing an exception, and if you catch it then you might be able to get more useful error information out of that exception.
Other than that, time to break out the debugger as you suggested.

std::system_error occurs at Protobuf ParseFromZeroCopyStream()

I'm testing protobuf with zlib compression.
I wrote some c++ sample code using protobuf 3.8.0, but the following error occurred at calling ParseFromZeroCopyStream() at Ubuntu.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
what(): Unknown error -1
(core dumped)
what can I do?
I tried to replace ParseFromZeroCopyStream() with ParseFromBoundedZeroCopyStream().
That results in no core dump, but ParseFromBoundedZeroCopyStream() returned false.

I expect that decompression succeeds.
You will need to learn to use a debugger to investigate further why exactly this "unknown error: -1" is thrown - if possible.
That being said, unknown library errors is sometimes caused by a failed memory allocation or in rarer cases some other ressource constraint like failing to start a thread/process, etc.

Segmentation fault while declaring an iterator in c++ example of leveldb

I was trying to apply an iteration to my leveldb file, but unfortunately I couldn't get the result. The problem that I'm facing is a segmentation fault in using the pointer of the iterator. I used gdb And I got that the problem is in the line
leveldb::Iterator* it = db->NewIterator(leveldb::ReadOptions());
(I added before some values to this file /tem/userDb , and the add is working good .)
#include <assert.h>
#include <leveldb/db.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
void iteration(leveldb::DB* db)
{
leveldb::Iterator* it = db->NewIterator(leveldb::ReadOptions());
for (it->SeekToFirst(); it->Valid(); it->Next())
{
cout << "key :" << it->key().ToString() << " : "
<< "value:" << it - > value().ToString() << endl;
}
if (false == it->status().ok())
{
cerr << "An error was found during the scan" << endl;
cerr << it->status().ToString() << endl;
}
delete it;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
leveldb::DB* db;
leveldb::Options options;
options.create_if_missing = true;
// erase error if the database exists
options.error_if_exists = true;
leveldb::Status s = leveldb::DB::Open(options, "/tmp/userDb", &db);
if (!s.ok())
cerr << s.ToString() << endl;
iteration(db);
delete db;
}
Not familiar with the leveldb API, but you're using db regardless of whether s.ok() is true or false. I'd assume that if s.ok() is false, db is either NULL, or in a state such that iteration or other operations won't work.
You should change the code to:
if (!s.ok()) {
cerr << s.ToString() << endl;
return -1;
}

Memory access violation error c++

I'm trying to exchange messages using multiple covert channels.
So, basically, first i need to select the channel that i want to use for communication and then select the "destination_ip" of the user that i want to chat with and after that the
processMessage()
is called. Now, to move from one channel to another I have to close the existing connection and then open a new connection with the new channel that i want to use. My code below is modified to keep using the same channel after closing the connection and contain only the things that you need.
#include <channelmanager.hpp>
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <openssl/hmac.h>
struct CommunicationFixture {
CommunicationFixture() {
channelmanager.setErrorStream(&cout);
channelmanager.setOutputStream(&cout);
destination_ip = "";
channel_id = channelmanager.getChannelIDs()[0];
}
library::ChannelManager channelmanager;
vector<string> last_adapters;
string destination_ip;
string channel_id = "";
int processMessage(string message) {
if (message.compare("exit") == 0) {
channelmanager.closeConnection(destination_ip);
return 1;
}
vector<string> arguments;
boost::split(arguments, message, boost::is_any_of(" "), boost::token_compress_on);
if (arguments[0].compare("argument") == 0) {
if (arguments.size() < 2) {
cout << "Not enough arguments" << endl;
return 0;
}
string argument_list = arguments[1];
for (unsigned int i = 2; i < arguments.size(); i++) {
argument_list += " " + arguments[i];
}
channelmanager.setChannelArguments(destination_ip, argument_list);
cout << "Set channel argument to '" << argument_list << "'." << endl;
return 0;
}
if (message.compare("help") == 0) {
cout << "Help not available in chat mode. Close chat first with 'exit'" << endl;
return 0;
}
channelmanager.openConnection(destination_ip, channel_id);
channelmanager.sendMessage(destination_ip, message);
return 0;
}
int close(string destination){
cout << "closing.." << endl;
channelmanager.closeConnection(destination); //I believe i have the error because of this!
return 0;
}
};
BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(communication, CommunicationFixture)
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(basic_communication) {
selectAdapterId(0);
cout << "Test" << endl << endl;
printCommands();
cout << "Enter your command:" << endl;
string command;
int code = 0;
while (code != 2) {
std::getline(cin, command);
code = processCommand(command);
if (code == 1) {
// chat
cout << "chat started.." << endl;
int chatCode = 0;
while (chatCode != 1) {
std::getline(cin, message);
close(destination_ip);
chatCode = processMessage(message);
channelmanager.setErrorStream(&cout);
}
cout << "chat ended." << endl;
}
}
}
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
Note that, i think that the error happens due to the
function close()
because without it i don't get any errors. and the error doesn't happen immediately but after exchanging some messages. Here's the error:
unknown location(0): fatal error: in
"communication/basic_communication": memory access violation at
address: 0x00000024: no mapping at fault address
communicationTest.cpp(325): last checkpoint: "basic_communication"
test entry
Memory access violation happen when you are trying to access to an unitialized variable, in this case the channelmanager.
I can only see that you initialize channelmanager in the processMessage() method and you are closing the connection before initializing the channelmanager as it happen in:
close(destination_ip);
chatCode = processMessage(message);
Either you change the initialization or do not close it before the processMessage() method.
Memory access violation is also called a segmentation fault (or segfault), occurs when the program tries to access a memory location that doesn't exist, or is otherwise inaccessible. We call this trying to access an illegal memory location. That memory is either non-existent or we aren't aren't allowed to touch it.
If the first input from user is 'exit', which is going to call
if (message.compare("exit") == 0) {
channelmanager.closeConnection(destination_ip);
return 1;
}
In this case, destination_ip isn't initialised.

C++ MySQL-connector on Arch-Linux/arm

I have written a program using C++/C, the MySQL C++ connector and ncurses/CDK. It compiles just fine, and runs fine as well on an x86/64 architecture. It crashes, however, when run on a Raspberry Pi B+ (ArchLinux).
I realize this is a pretty hard question to answer, but maybe someone more experienced can help.
Here's the (hopefully) relevant Code:
//Open Connection to the Database
nrpeout::MYSQL_CON localhost("127.0.0.1", 3306, "root", "toor");
//localhost.write_attributes_to_console();
con = localhost.open_database_connection();
//Create a new object of type nrpeoutputquery
nrpeout::Nrpeoutputquery current_query("SELECT * FROM nrpeout", con);
//Execute query
res = current_query.execute_query();
//Close Database Connection
localhost.close_database_connection(con);
} catch (sql::SQLException &e) {
//Handle SQL-Exceptions
std::cout << "# ERR: SQLException in " << __FILE__;
std::cout << "(" << __FUNCTION__ << ") on line "
<< __LINE__ << std::endl;
std::cout << "# ERR: " << e.what();
std::cout << " (MySQL error code: " << e.getErrorCode();
std::cout << ", SQLState: " << e.getSQLState() << " )" << std::endl;
} catch(...) {
//Handle Standard Exceptions
std::cout << "Unknown Exception raised. Please contact your Administrator" << std::endl;
}
nrpeout::NrpeResultSet* currentResults = new nrpeout::NrpeResultSet(res);
Using Valgrind and GDB, I have tried to narrow the error down to the line where I create the object "currentResults".
Here's the member function that saves the query results:
nrpeout::NrpeResultSet::NrpeResultSet(sql::ResultSet* res)
{
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < res->rowsCount(); ++i)
{
res->next();
std::string command = res->getString("command");
//Shorten the String
size_t posCommand = command.find("_");
std::string shortened_command = command.substr(posCommand+1);
int ret = res->getInt("ret");
std::string text = res->getString("text");
//Shorten the Text
size_t posText = text.find("|");
std::string shortened_text = text.substr(0, posText-1);
std::string last_updated = res->getString("last_updated");
this->results.push_back(Row(shortened_command, ret, shortened_text, last_updated));
}
Well, you are not catching an exception, which you may want to handle. InvalidInstanceException is thrown when using closed databse connections, statements or resultsets.
My suggestion is to run your code with a gdb and catch exceptions:
gdb ./some-program
$ catch throw
$ r
This will break after each exception being thrown. (But also includes handled exceptions, so there may be quite a few breaks, depending on how long it takes you to get to the important part.)

CORBA AMI call not producing callback?

I'm modifying the stock quoter example from the wustl CORBA release. The assignment is to implement a reply handler for the StockFactory class that handles calls to get_stock()
Here's my FactoryHandler implementation:
FactoryHandler_i.h:
#ifndef TAO_TUTORIALS_QUOTER_AMI_CLIENT_FACTORYHANDLER_I_H
#define TAO_TUTORIALS_QUOTER_AMI_CLIENT_FACTORYHANDLER_I_H
#include "QuoterS.h"
class Stock_Factory_Handler_i : public POA_Quoter::AMI_Stock_FactoryHandler
{
public:
Stock_Factory_Handler_i (int *response_count, ::Quoter::Stock_var& result);
void get_stock (::Quoter::Stock_ptr ami_return_val);
void get_stock_excep (::Messaging::ExceptionHolder * excep_holder);
private:
int *response_count_;
::Quoter::Stock_var& result_;
};
#endif /* TAO_TUTORIALS_QUOTER_AMI_CLIENT_HANDLER_I_H */
FactoryHandler_i.cpp:
#include "FactoryHandler_i.h"
#include "ace/streams.h"
Stock_Factory_Handler_i::
Stock_Factory_Handler_i (int *response_count, ::Quoter::Stock_var& result)
: response_count_ (response_count), result_ (result)
{
}
void
Stock_Factory_Handler_i::get_stock (::Quoter::Stock_ptr ami_return_val)
{
cout << "storing result" << endl;
result_ = ami_return_val;
(*this->response_count_)++;
}
void
Stock_Factory_Handler_i::get_stock_excep (::Messaging::ExceptionHolder * excep_holder)
{
// We ignore the exception, but this counts as a response, otherwise
// the application would not finish.
cerr << "Exception raised while getting stock"
<< endl;
(*this->response_count_)++;
}
And the client.cpp, from just before the part where changes have been made:
// ...
// Create and activate the handler...
int response_count = 0;
Single_Query_Stock_Handler_i handler_i (&response_count);
Quoter::AMI_Single_Query_StockHandler_var handler =
handler_i._this ();
// Create and activate the factory handler...
Quoter::Stock_var result;
Stock_Factory_Handler_i factory_handler_i (&response_count, result);
Quoter::AMI_Stock_FactoryHandler_var factory_handler =
factory_handler_i._this();
// Send all the requests, careful with error handling
int request_count = 0;
for (int i = 2; i != argc+1; ++i) {
try {
// Get the stock object
cout << "looking up stock symbol " << argv[i] << endl;
factory->sendc_get_stock (factory_handler.in (), argv[i]);
sleep(3); // wait for a response
cout << "converting result" << endl;
Quoter::Single_Query_Stock_var stock =
Quoter::Single_Query_Stock::_narrow (result.in ());
cout << "checking result" << endl;
CORBA::Any any;
any <<= stock;
CORBA::TypeCode_var tc = any.type();
cout << tc->kind() << endl;
if (CORBA::is_nil (stock.in ())) {
cerr << "Cannot get single query interface for <"
<< argv[i] << ">" << endl;
continue;
}
cout << "reading result" << endl;
stock->sendc_get_price_and_names (handler.in ());
request_count++;
}
catch (Quoter::Invalid_Stock_Symbol &) {
cerr << "Invalid stock symbol <"
<< argv[i] << ">" << endl;
}
}
while (response_count < 2 * request_count // multiply by 2 because both handlers increment response_count
&& orb->work_pending ()) {
orb->perform_work ();
}
// ...
When running the client, the output is:
looking up stock symbol MSFT
converting result
checking result
14
Cannot get single query interface for <MSFT>
(The 14 is the typecode for Stock, that's only for debugging)
Notably missing from the above is the "storing result" message that's supposed to be printed in the FactoryHandler's get_stock() callback method. I'm at a loss as to why, since the sendc_get_stock() method doesn't produce any (immediate) errors and is basically just a copy of the StockHandler's code, and from there it's the responsibility of the AMI/ORB interface to make the callback. But the original example (with a StockHandler only) works fine.
What am I doing wrong (and how do I fix it)?
EDIT: another bit of information: on the server side, StockFactory's get_stock() method does get called.
Sorry, I've no aswer for you. But a hint, ask your question at TOA's maling list at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-mail.html
HTH
I think that your problem is that work_pending returns true only if the ORB has immediate work to do, so it returns false in the time after your client sent his request and before the server sends his reply.
To validate that, simply remove the && orb->work_pending() condition from the loop, and use the version of perform_work that takes a timeout argument.
