Software FX Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi, we need some more information to try to figure out why it is happenening. The path is configured in the config file, and unless you are making changes on it, is shouldn't bee necesary to re-start the server.

User (Legacy) Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Lets say we have jboss installed in the folder /usr/share/jboss/ and we deploy an app with path /app. Jboss unpacks the app into a working folder called: /usr/share/jboss/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp23456app.ear-contents/app.war so our charts are created in /usr/share/jboss/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp23456app.ear-contents/app.war/chartfx62/temp/ and the getHtmlTag() method generates a relative name that works. e.g. "/app/chartfx62/temp/CFT0509_042134248E0.jpg". Everything is correct so far. Now redeploy the application and it is unpacked by jboss into a different folder, e.g. called: /usr/share/jboss/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp7890app.ear-contents/app.war however chartfx continues to generate files in the old folder. getHtmlTag() produces the correct path but since the chart is in the wrong place the file is not found.

User (Legacy) Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I created a simple web page called test.jsp with a copy of code from your support web site. I've copied it below for reference. Start jboss and deploy the app, everything works as expected. Now redeploy the application without restarting jboss. Run the same web page again and this time the image is not displayed. Chartfx has created it in the wrong directory. The pathname used by chartfx is not the one returned by a call to say application.getRealPath("/chartfx62/temp"); The RequiredRoot element of the ChartFX.Internet.config file is set to . which should work.

User (Legacy) Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Copy the EAR file (or the war file) into the server/default/deploy folder to deploy it. Then either re-copy the file with an updated timestamp or use the touch command if using unix.

User (Legacy) Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi, i'm just adding a "me too" here. We got the exact same problem with JBoss 4.0.2 and ChartFX 6.2 for Java. Somehow the temp file path is preserved during redeploy and every chart is written to the old temporary directory created by JBoss, not the current one. Workaround is to restart the application server, which is highly annoying. Regards, Maik Amelmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 We have been able to reproduce the issue. It seems like when JBoss is un-deploying and re-deploying the application, chartfx is not being unloaded from the server memory, so it keeps the configuration from the previous application (For performance reasons, the config is read when the jar is loaded and then after a random number of charts). This does not happen in Tomcat for example, chartfx is being unloaded and reloaded again. We wonder is there is a way to configure JBoss to do that as well, we are not JBoss experts but we wanted to explain what it is going on so may be you have an idea how to work around it. We are testing some changes in the configuration that may solve this issue, which we will post here as soon as we can. Regards, GA Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I don't believe this is a simple deployment/redeployment issue. If you deploy 2 applications that both use chartfx, and chartfx is set up in a common i.e. shared folder, then one of the applications will break. The test app that I sent before will demonstrate the problem. If you create a copy of the application with a different name and deploy both applications then the second one that you use will fail to find its chart for the same reason as the redeployment bug.

Software FX Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 You are right, I forgot about ChartFX being in a common location. We have figure out a solution for this issue. You need to set up a central location for temporary files, for all applications and redeployment to use. So no matter what JBoss does when it redeploys the app, the temp folder will be always the same. The easiest way to do this is to deploy a chartfx62 application that contains just the temp folder inside (war attached), and then change the "common" ChartFX.Internet.config, removing the "." from the RequiredRoot tag. (<RequiredRoot></RequiredRoot>). Leaving the RequiredRoot blank will cause Chart FX for Java to search the web server root for the Chart FX temp directories (/chartfx62/temp).
