RE: [flexcoders] URGENT Problem on Flex installed on BEA WebLogic

[Carson Hager]

Interesting.  The next thing I would do is verify where the css parser errors are getting loaded from.  WLS should have a way to turn on classloader tracing so that it will log out the physical location from where it loaded the classes. See if you can enable that and let me know what it says.   Carson   ____________________________________________   Carson Hager Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office:  866-CYNERGY Mobile: 1.703.489.6466   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jaime Bermudez Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] URGENT Problem on Flex installed on BEA WebLogic   Hey Carson,   I'm trying out your technique, but I'm still getting LocatorParser errors... here's a snippet of my weblogic.xml:   <weblogic-web-app>   <security-role-assignment>      ...    </security-role-assignment>       <jsp-descriptor>      ...  </jsp-descriptor>    <container-descriptor>   <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>  </container-descriptor>  </weblogic-web-app>   This solution worked for you guys?   On 9/16/05, Carson Hager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My pleasure.  The only impact will be a small increase in memory utilization by the server at startup. Basically, appservers like WLS like to use hierarchical classloaders so that classes which are shared by multiple web applications are not loaded for each web app.  By using a shared classloader, there is savings in memory and ( to a small degree ) runtime performance due to the need to only load/verify the class a single time. The reality is that these things are basically negligible. The kicker with hierarchical classloaders is exactly what you're seeing here...the need to override at a child level.  I'm sure you'll find this to be a good solution.     Carson   ____________________________________________   Carson Hager Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office:  866-CYNERGY ext. 89 Mobile: 1.703.489.6466   Take PowerBuilder to the Web with EAF 4.0 http://www.cynergysystems.com/public/products/eaf         From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Towes (New Toronto Group) Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 1:22 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com; flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] URGENT Problem on Flex installed on BEA WebLogic   Thanks, Carson - We're looking into the impact of this.   It might be the best solution.  I'll let you (and the list) know. kev.

The Batik.jar file installed with BEA is an older version then is required by FLEX to parse CSS.  (css.locater.parser) We've found information on FlexCoders to remove the fop.jar file from BEA, which works, but is not a solution that our customer is comfortable with. Does anyone know anything about this, or better, how to get around the issue? I've tried going through "official" Macromedia Support on this, and they're timing for support doesn't fit our customer, so here's a chance for the FlexCoders list to shine. Who ever helps me solve it gets a couple drinks on me at MAX in a couple weeks. Kevin Towes.
