Got org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken Exception? Here's the Solution!

Image
By
Typically when you get the org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken ClassNotFoundException, you are installing Tridion Content Delivery on WebLogic (or, at least, that's when I encountered it all of the time).

The actual stack trace might look something like:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.hibernate.QueryException: ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken
...
    at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.throwPersistenceException(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:601)
    at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.createQuery(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:96)
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)
    at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
    at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)
...

Solution: luckily, this is a known issue and is caused by a conflict in classes and class loaders of WebLogic. So, in order to fix it, you should remove stax-api.jar from your application's class-path (or WEB_INF/lib/).

Also, you might set your WEB_INF classes as preferred.

The solution is described in detail on the SDLLiveContent documentation portal under publication SDL Tridion 2011SP1 / Installing SDL Tridion / Installing the Content Delivery server / Installing server roles in Java/JSP / Installing a server role as a JSP Web application - universal procedure (deep link here). Access to documentation portal can be gained from www.sdltridionworld.com

Running sp_updatestats on AWS RDS database

By
Part of the maintenance tasks that I perform on a MSSQL Content Manager database is to run stored procedure sp_updatestats . exec sp_updatestats However, that is not supported on an AWS RDS instance. The error message below indicates that only the sa  account can perform this: Msg 15247 , Level 16 , State 1 , Procedure sp_updatestats, Line 15 [Batch Start Line 0 ] User does not have permission to perform this action. Instead there are several posts that suggest using UPDATE STATISTICS instead: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/145982/sp-updatestats-vs-update-statistics I stumbled upon the following post from 2008 (!!!), https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/186e3db0-fe37-4c31-b017-8e7c24d19697/spupdatestats-fails-to-run-with-permission-error-under-dbopriveleged-user , which describes a way to wrap the call to sp_updatestats and execute it under a different user: create procedure dbo.sp_updstats with execute as 'dbo' as...

REL Standard Tag Library

By
The RSTL is a library of REL tags providing standard functionality such as iterating collections, conditionals, imports, assignments, XML XSLT transformations, formatting dates, etc. RSTL distributable is available on my Google Code page under  REL Standard Tag Library . Always use the latest JAR . This post describes each RSTL tag in the library explaining its functionality, attributes and providing examples. For understanding the way expressions are evaluated, please read my post about the  Expression Language used by REL Standard Tag Library . <c:choose> / <c:when> / <c:otherwise> Syntax:     <c:choose>         <c:when test="expr1">             Do something         </c:when>         <c:when test="expr2">             Do something else         </c:when...

Publish Binaries to Mapped Structure Groups

By Unknown
Today's TBB of the Week comes from the high demand in the field to publish binary assets to different mapped Structure Groups. By default SDL Tridion offers two ways of publishing binaries: All binaries publish to a folder defined in your Publication properties; All binaries rendered by a given template publish to a folder corresponding to a given Structure Group; In my view, both cases are terrible, over-simplified and not representing a real use-case. Nobody in the field wants all binaries in one folder and nobody separates binary locations by template. Instead, everybody wants a mapping mechanism that takes a binary and publishes it to a given folder, defined by a Structure Group, and this mapping is done using some kind of metadata. More often than not, the metadata is the TCM Folder location of the Multimedia Component. I have seen this implemented numerous times. So the solution to publish binaries to a given location implies finding a mapping from a TCM Folder to a...
