TENEO problems on HOT redeploy [message #880695] Sat, 02 June 2012 18:26 Go to next message

We are using teneo to persist our data model.

The entire application is hosted inside a j2ee container (glassfish v3.1).

We are experiencing problems on hot redeploy. As soon we try to use any class from the model, we get a cast exception.

For each entity, we have an interface

public interface Dicitura extends EObject

and a corresponding implementation class

public class DicituraImpl extends EObjectImpl

and the exception we get is that DicituraImpl cannot be casted to Dicitura.

so we have to stop the application server and restart, that's pretty annoying and time wasteful.

anyone experiencing a similar issue?

UPDATE: After some more extended testing, on latest teneo version, we experienced different issues on hot redeploy (EClasses can't be found in the package).

So, my question is, how should be handled an hot redeploy? When an hot redeploy happens, it seems registered packages are gone.

So whenever i need to get a datastore i do something like this

hbds=HbHelper.INSTANCE.getDataStore("xx");

if (hbds == null )
{
hbds = (HbDataStore)HbHelper.INSTANCE.createRegisterDataStore("xx");
.
.
.
hbds.setEPackages(new EPackage[]{ DefaultnamePackage.eINSTANCE});
hbds.initialize();
}

But doing so it's not enough, since it seems newly registered package references somehow old classes,

Should i to call *public static DefaultnamePackage init() * somehow again?

What about the eInstance set on jvm startup?


thank you.

Hi Cristian,
I have not heard of this exception/use case before... I guess that the Dicitura interface is reloaded while the
DicituraImpl still holds a reference to an old Dicitura definition. I am not familiar with hot redeploy, I guess that
somehow there is still a reference to the 'previous' class hierarchy somewhere, maybe/probably from Teneo...

Thank you for your reply. Yes that's exactly what's happening (or the way around, the interface is cached, while the implementation is reloaded).

But i have no clue how to fix it.

We are pondering to move to Texo so, but we are a bit scared by the fact the project is still in incubation.

is there a roadmap?

Hi Cristian,
When doing hot redeploy are you also starting out with new Teneo data stores? Teneo caches classes in other locations
also, but if these 'other' places are redeployed also it should work fine. So the only starting point where things can
go wrong I guess is the datastore.

Texo roadmap, see this very small list:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo#Future_Topics

Texo starts out as a server side logic but will move to the client more and more. Supporting both RCP as well as web
clients. My day-to-day work is in web-based ERP/business administration systems, so that's my main focus for Texo to
make EMF technology available for the web world (following standards common in the web-world).

Here are some Texo blog posts:
http://martintaal.wordpress.com/category/texo/

Incubation is indeed a scary word :-), just as the version number which is 0.1.. There are several people using Texo, I
am not sure if they have gone live already. But afaics the technology should be considered stable enough for production
usage, but that's just my opinion ofcourse...

Last week the test coverage of Texo has increased very much using now around 50 testmodels running through JPA/ORM and
JSON testcases. The number of testcases has gone up from 130 to 370+. If you have public models then I am happy to add
them to the Texo test framework.

See this relevant last post I did on Texo on the EMFT newsgroup:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/880129/

One thing to remember is that Texo generates JPA/ORM standard java code, so if you don't want to do any 'model stuff' at
runtime then there are no Texo dependencies, making it even less risky than Teneo...

Hi Christian,
See this other post, the case/solution in there might also be relevant for your issue/problem:

Sorry for the late reply, and thank You for your answer and the post forward. I'll take a look.

About early adoption about Texo: correct me if i'm wrong, but Texo just generates entity beans, that are pojo, and in case of trouble they can by fixed by hands.

Texo is much more thin than Teneo, and has basically no overhead and it's not built on a runtime framework. So as soon as the pojo classes are correctly annotated we should be good, right?

or do you foresee any other areas of potential troubles? thank you for time and reply.

Hi Christian,
No problem, you are correct with your remark about the pojos, the standard JPA/ORM persistence does not use Texo, EMF or
Teneo.
So you are completely right that Texo is much more thin than Teneo and there is no extra overhead compared to handcoding
pojos.

Only if you want to use the model layer at runtime, then you add overhead but that's usefull for json/xml serialization,
for just standard JPA/ORM this runtime Model layer is not used.
