Developing & Running an Adapter Set Using Eclipse [Java]

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi nttam,

provided that you left the <classloader> value to its default value ("common") in the adapters.xml files relative to the involved Adapter Sets, you have to put common classes and libraries into the "shared/lib" and/or "shared/lib" folders of your Lightstreamer installation: please have a look at all README.txt files you can find here (even inside "classed" and "lib" subfolders").

Please also look at inline documentation of the <classloader> tag you can find here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,
Gianluca

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
Thank you so much for your help, I did, it's running well now. Thanks again!

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
One more time, Its running ok now, but data is error font with unicode (I run by source code that font ok), maybe I need to config unicode utf-8 for lightstreamer server? if need, could you show me how to config? thanks!

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi nttam,

could you please provide us with some examples of error in terms of sent and received data?

Thanks
Gianluca

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
That error happen when received message from midleware at adapter, as this example: Data -> var_fr6: [V010103]: Tra cá»©u dá»¯ liá»?u thÃ nh cÃ´ng. but when running by source code its ok: [V010103]: Tra cứu thông tin khách hàng thành công.

Hi nttam,

just to clarify the current scenario: the middleware sends "data" to the adapter and, from there, are forwarded to the clients, is it correct? So, on the client side such data appear in a wrong format. Please confirm my understanding, since we need to identify where the potential encoding/decoding issue really occurs.

Thanks,
Gianluca

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
Yes, it is correct. But it's error unicode font at the adapter, example which I send you above is log of lightstreammer server. Thanks!

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Ok nttam,

could you please provide us with a log excerpt from which such it is possible to analyze such issue?

Thanks
Gianluca

nttam

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
plz refer image below, that is log of lightstreamer server (in terminal screen), of course client show data with wrong format like that. Thanks!

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi mttam,

the image is not clear. Please stop the server instance and remove the current Lightstreamer.log, just to start from clean scenario.
Please also update the lightstreamer_log_conf.xml changing the levels of the following loggers:

<logger name="LightstreamerLogger.subscriptions" level="DEBUG"/>
<logger name="LightstreamerLogger.pump" level="DEBUG"/>
<logger name="LightstreamerLogger.push" level="DEBUG"/>

then repeat your test and send to info@lightstreamer.com the log file.

Thanks and regards,
Gianluca

Hi Mr Gianluca.finocchiaro,
I've send email with log file. Thanks so much!

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi nttam,

after having looked at the log and exchanged some private messages, we finally found out that the issue was due to a conversion of raw data sent by the middleware. In fact, raw data should have been encapsulated into a String object also specifying the right charset, as follows:

[SYNTAX=JAVA]new String(data, "UTF-8")[/SYNTAX].

When the Adapter Set runs from Eclipse, messages flow with no issue as you have specified UTF-8 as default text file encoding (set from Preferences->Workspace).

Thanks and Regards,
Gianluca

Hello Gianluca

Is this procedure doable on IntelliJ IDEA too ? (I'm having some difficulties! :Smile_Ac: )

What I'd like to do is to have on my MAC a running LightStreamer server, and I want to go in DEBUG mode in with an adapter using IntelliJ.
Is it something possible to do ?

Thank you
Antonio

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi Antonio,

a similar procedure should be doable on IntelliJ IDEA as well and a detailed post on this is coming soon, stay tuned!

Thanks and Regards,
Gianluca

I was able to do it :Smile_Ad:

the problem was the declaration of the ENV VAR "LS_HOME"

I can declare it, but after is not recognized (or at least in the same project...)

I had to import all the JAR from LS directly in the project, and I had to declare the JAR creation in the right place...

so I removed all the
VM Arguments leaving only
-Xmx2048M
-ea

Gianluca Finocchiaro Hi Antonio,

a similar procedure should be doable on IntelliJ IDEA as well and a detailed post on this is coming soon, stay tuned!

Thanks and Regards,

Gianluca Finocchiaro

Hi Antonio,

please have a look here.

Our recommendation is to specify all VM Arguments, in order to avoid any issue you may have with class loading.

Thanks and Regards,
Gianluca

I have created grouped adapters in eclipse and when trying to deploy adapters getting "No plugin found for prefix 'adapter' Imran Khan in the current project".Nawaz Sharif Is there any option in eclispe to deploy all adapters. If so could you please share steps how to deploy multiple adapters using eclipse IDE instead of CLI.

Giuseppe Corti

Hi,

The instruction provided in the original post by Gianluca should work also in your case, when multiple adapters are involved.
Please consider that point 3., "Develop the custom Adapter Set", actually provides the possibility of developing many adapters, to be precise, each Adapter Set can contain only one Metadata Adapter but many Data Adapters.

Please could you explain better what you mean by " grouped adapters"? Could you also a little expand an the steps you followed?

Regards,
Giuseppe

Although I have had my adaptors and eclipse and lightstreamer all working previously on my Desktop I have moved everything ( via Mercurial ) to a laptop so I can take advantage of some rare UK sunshine.

For the life of me I can't get Lightstreamer to run up under Eclipse. I keep getting

Error reading logging configuration file conf\lightstreamer_log_conf.xml:java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.lightstreamer.init.c.a(c.java)
    at com.lightstreamer.a.e.d.a(d.java)
    at com.lightstreamer.f.b.a(b.java)
    at com.lightstreamer.f.b.a(b.java)
    at com.lightstreamer.f.a.a(a.java)
    at com.lightstreamer.LS.main(LS.java)
Unable to load settings for logging system.
Startup failed.

The file is there and seems to work outside eclipse

everything appears to be set correctly and LS runs just fine when run from the batch file in the Windows directory outside eclipse.

Tearing my hair out ( Don't want to go back inside the office! :Smile_Ab: )
