    Capedwarf - Need some help to estimate my time to production.

    jean-remi.malzieu

      Hello,

       

      I am considering using capedwarf to migrate some of my customers to their private servers, instead of on the app engine cloud. I already tried some of the scenarios that are mandatory in my applications, and I have been greatly surprised by the quality of the tool out of the box.

       

      However, here are the issues I am facing, and I can't get to work:

       

      1 - Session management on Chrome:

      I have no issues connecting with firefox, but using Chrome, it seems that the HTTP session is lost somewhere. It seems something about the JSESSIONID is broken. I have tried using the previous version of capedwarf, and apparently, the bug has been introduced lately since the previous version are working as expected... Is there anyone else meeting the issue?

       

      2 - Query cursors:

      My application makes an intensive usage of the query cursors over the objectify library. Apparently, for a reason I didn't track, the cursor are totally ignored, and the results of all of my queries give the same results. I tried in previous version, and I found the same problem. Is it something not implemented?

       

      3 - Remote API:

      I didn't have any chances to make the remote API to work. I have a home made java application that uses the remote API for backup / recovery. I tried it without modifications, and could not connect to the application on wildfly using it. I have seen somewhere that it should be supported, but didn't find any documentations on the required steps to perform. Is there anything special to know?

       

      Then, I am wondering about the configuration I need to create for those customers. Considering the fact that my application is dedicated to companies and that each instance of the application will be used by 50~ 10K persons.

      Is the wildfly filesystem storage trustable enough for such a scenario? Should I consider moving to MongoDB or Cassandra?

      I checked on how to use mongoDB for example, but didn't find any good tutorial or documentations on the topic (I am totally new to JBoss). Is there any places where I can find explanations on how to configure it?

       

      Thank you.

          This looks strange, as we have a few tests that rely on http session, and they all seem to work fine.

          If you could add a new test to expose this, it would be perfect.

           

          The best place to add new tests is GAE TCK

          * http://www.appengine-tck.org

          Cursor is a bit of a grey area, as it needs bytecode hacking to make it work -- atm some simple functionality.

          Again, if you could add some test or post some code on how you're using this and what exactly doesn't work.

          Which remote API are we talking about?

           

          The only remote stuff we support atm is this

          This is an Infinispan configuration issue -- as we simply use what's in place for Infinispan in WildFly.

           

          Imo, filesystem should be fine -- if you have proper backup.

           

          But do check with Infinispan guys for more details.
