ADF High Availability for clustered environment

In order for an ADF application to support High Availability in clustered environment with server fail over. The below steps must be followed in developing an ADF application.

1. All Manage Beans must implement Serializable.
2. UI component bindings must be declared in a bean with shorter scope (backing bean scope or request scope).
3. If it needs to be declared in Manage Bean with PageFlowScope (Not recommended), please ensure you declare the binding as transient.
4. Any objects that are declared as an attribute in Manage Bean must be Serialized.

5.ADF component bindings can not support the Serializable.To make them support HA use the following code for component binding,getters and setters in pageFlowScope bean.

  ex. Normal ADF code for binding,getters and setters will be as follows

   Private RichSelectOneChoice partySelect

      public void setPartySelect(RichSelectOneChoice partySelect) {
            this.partySelect = partySelect;
           }

     public RichSelectOneChoice getPartySelect() {
              return partySelect;
    }


Change this to following code in your pageFlowScope bean to support HA.

import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.util.ComponentReference;
Private ComponentReference partySelect;


     
public void setPartySelect(RichSelectOneChoice partySelect) {
      this.partySelect =ComponentReference.newUIComponentReference(partySelect);
}

public RichSelectOneChoice getPartySelect() {
       if(partySelect !=null){
           return (RichSelectOneChoice)partySelect.getComponent();
       }
     return null;
}


The following files must be modified to make an ADF application High Available in clustered environment.

adf-config.xml

<adf-controller-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/config">
     <adf-scope-ha-support>true</adf-scope-ha-support>
</adf-controller-config>

weblogic.xml

<session-descriptor>
      <persistent-store-type>replicated_if_clustered</persistent-store-type>
</session-descriptor>

For testing, please add the below parameter in your weblogic domain 
setDomainEnv.cmd
-Dorg.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CHECK_STATE_SERIALIZATION=all

Passivation and Activation in ADF (Application Module )

1. For performance reasons, ADF keeps a pool of application modules in memory. It tries to give each session the same application module as the session used during the last request; however, this might not be possible during peak load of your application. 2. In this case, ADF saves the application modules state in a database table so the application module can be used by another session. This is called passivation . 3. When the first session needs the application module again, its state is retrieved from the database process known as activation . 4. If you have made an error in your code and depend on some variable that is not persisted correctly when your application module state is stored, you will experience mysterious errors under high load.   Enable/Disable Application Module Pooling : Right-click on your application module, choose Configurations.By default, each application module has two configurations. Ensure that the one ending in …Local is selected and then click

Get modified rows from Entitiy Cache

To get the modified rows from entity cache we have getEntityState() method at EntityImpl class. Refer to my previous blog  Accessing EO impl methods from VO impl  where i am overriding the getEntityState() in EOimpl and calling it in VOImpl. We can use methods written or overridden in VOImpl class to AMImpl class. There are different states associated with an entity object. STATUS_UNMODIFIED STATUS_MODIFIED STATUS_NEW STATUS_DELETED STATUS_DEAD We have to check the state or row in our AmImpl class by using the VOImpl method and through this we can distinguish the rows present at vo. Add below code in AMImpl class along with my previous post. public void geCachedRowsCount(){         JobsVOImpl jobsVo = (JobsVOImpl)this.getJobsVO();         RowSetIterator iter = jobsVo.createRowSetIterator(null);             while(iter.hasNext()){             Row row = iter.next();             byte state = jobsVo.getEntityState(row);             System.out.println("Job_id -&

The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened

WLS_DIAGNOSTIC ERROR weblogic.store.PersistentStoreException: [Store:280073]The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened because it contained a file with the invalid version 1. A file of version 2 was expected. When you get this error while running your application on internal weblogic server delete the following file WLS_DIAGNOSTICS000000.DAT search the file in following path C:\jdev_work\system11.1.1.5.37.60.13\DefaultDomain this file is in DefaultDomain folder of your jdev. and delete the WLS_DIAGNOSTICS000000.DAT file . and run your applicatuon
