Middleware is where applications meet infrastructure. Here our consultants write about WebLogic, JBoss EAP, WildFly and Tomcat in real production environments: installing and clustering them, patching, deploying applications and finding out why something stopped working.
We had a strange behavior by a customer regarding the indexing queue. We used to have two IA configured and we uninstalled one. I figured out that we still had indexing queue requests for the old index agent while it was totally uninstalled. I checked the following objects to see if the agent was still configured somewhere: dm_fulltext_index, dm_ftengine_config, dm_ftindex_agent_config.…
WebLogic 12.2.1 provides a new RESTful management interface with full accesses to all WebLogic Server resources. This interface offers an alternative to the WLST scripting or JMX developments for the management and the monitoring of WebLogic Domains. The following of this blog provides a few examples demonstrating the simplicity and the efficiency of the REST requests. WebLogic Server State When…

When working with WebLogic, there will probably be a moment when you will ask yourself: damn, what is wrong? Nowadays, software are so complex that it is kind of easy to introduce bugs/non-wanted behaviors in them… In this blog, I will present a small thing that just blew my mind when I faced it: I had a fully working WLS…
In this blog, I will talk about the encryption of files and in particular the encryption of a shell script because that was my use case. Before starting, some people may say/think that you shouldn’t encrypt any scripts and I globally agree with that BUT I still think that there might be some exceptions. I will not debate this further…

In this blog I will talk about an error I got by a customer about UCF. I got an error message using DA 7.2 where I coulnd’t download documents, in fact every…

But there is one that disturbed me from the beginning. It is the ODSM Session Timeout. You might see a message like the following. Or maybe this one. It just says, that the page…
By William Sescu In this blog, I would like to show how to change the Java version used by OUD and WebLogic, in case you use the ODSM. The OUD (Oracle Unified Directory) is written purely in Java, not like OID for example, and so, it relies heavily on your installed Java version. From a security point of view, updating…

Introduction In Nowadays web technologies a common defensive mechanism against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks is to use a synchronizer token. This token might be unique for each request and thus it blocks us from using the recorded JMeter test session off the shelf. This blog will describe how this CSRF feature can be handled in JMeter. How to implement…
We had a problem with a customer where D2 was not loading properly in IE when going through F5 (load balancer). When trying to access D2 through the F5, let’s say: https://d2prod/D2 only a few menus and some part of the workspace were loading but it ended to say “Unexpected error occured”. Investigation It would have been too easy if…
