Hmmm, you shouldn’t have to delete ehcache.xml if you successfully installed the patch unless you didn’t have an up to date installer...  I think it is working for me…

 

Are you sure the patch installed correctly? (and you installed it in all envs)

 

[appadmin@i2midev1 patchesAutoWs]$ java -jar grouperInstaller.jar

Do you want to 'install' a new installation of grouper, 'upgrade' an existing installation,

  'patch' an existing installation, 'admin' utilities, or 'createPatch' for Grouper developers

  (enter: 'install', 'upgrade', 'patch', 'admin', 'createPatch' or blank for the default) [install]: patch

Enter in a Grouper temp directory to download tarballs (note: better if no spaces or special chars) [/opt/grouper/2.3/patchesAutoWs/tarballs]:

What do you want to patch?  api, ui, ws, pspng, or psp? [api]: ws

Where is the grouper WS installed? /opt/tomcats/tomcat_g/webapps/grouper-ws_v2_3

What do you want to do with patches (install, revert, status, fixIndexFile)? [install]: status

Do you want to fix the patch index file (download all patches and see if they are installed?) (not recommended) (t|f)? [f]:

 

################ Checking patch grouper_v2_3_0_api_patch_35

Patch: grouper_v2_3_0_api_patch_35: was applied on: 2016/12/05 19:28:06

grouper_v2_3_0_api_patch_35.state = applied

[appadmin@i2midev1 patchesAutoWs]$

 

 

If that didn’t help, try putting this in the log4j.properties and stop grouper, delete logs, start grouper, and send me what it says.

 

log4j.logger.edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.cache.EhcacheController = DEBUG

 

Thanks

Subject: [grouper-users] Can't get new ehcache hierarchical files to work

 

I've been trying to get the hierarchical ehcache configuration to work,

which is from GRP-1417 and in API patch 35. I'm doing this with Grouper

2.3, and I didn't have to convert ehcache.xml because we've never

changed it. I used grouper.cache.base.properties and

group.cache.properties from the patch and deleted ehcache.xml. When I

run the Grouper Shell it seems to start up ok, but in the log file I get:

 

[main] WARN  ConfigurationFactory.parseConfiguration(134) -  - No

configuration found. Configuring ehcache from ehcache-failsafe.xml found

in the classpath:

jar:file:/opt/local/mace/grouper/GROUPER_2_3_BRANCH/grouper/lib/grouper/ehcache-core-2.4.3.jar!/ehcache-failsafe.xml

 

and after that around 150 messages like this for different caches:

 

[main] WARN  AbstractEhcacheRegionFactory.getCache(161) -  - HHH020003:

Could not find a specific ehcache configuration for cache named

[org.hibernate.cache.spi.UpdateTimestampsCache]; using defaults.

 

At that point, if I put back ehcache.xml then the startup is normal. If

I then keep ehcache.xml but remove grouper.cache.base.properties and

group.cache.properties, then the Grouper Shell fails to start and I get

this exception:

So after applying the patch, I only get a normal startup if I have both

ehcache.xml and the properties files.

 

While we have no local mods to the Grouper API, we do have UI mods, so I

build Grouper from the source rather than using patching. But I was very

careful to examine the patch and update the sources files, and I really

don't think that's the problem. Let me know if you'd like additional

information. I have no problem using ehcache.xml, but I thought it would

be a good idea to include the hierarchical files in our next Grouper

upgrade.
