Error in tasks admin

[Gary Stanton]

I'm running .019, and I've come across an error in the web admin under
tasks.
The thing is that I'm running multiple sites, and the error only
occurrs in one of them.

The site in question is attempting to send a couple of thousand emails
out to a mailing list, and I was taking a look at the tasks admin to
see how it was getting on, but I receive the following error:

Railo 3.1.2.019 Error (Java.lang.nullpointerexception)
Message java.lang.NullPointerException
Stacktrace The Error Occurred in

line 95
called fromra://C:|xxx\xxx\httpdocs\WEB-INF\railo\context\railo-context.ra!/admin/web.cfm:
line 204

Other sites can view the tasks screen with no problems, so I assume it
must be something to do with the amount of tasks running?

[Todd Rafferty]

Please include the *full* stack trace, not parts of it... if you can.

That tasks maintain a restart Railo stores tasks on the filesystem as a serialized java object. If the structures of the task class change, what is very rare but happen between version 018 and 019, it is possible that tasks produce problems that are produced by the old version (in this case 018).

Does this mean I have to revert to the old version, delete the tasks
and then upgrade to 019 again, or is there another way?

You can simply delete the task files, they have the extension .tsk and
are located in web-inf/railo/client-task/*/ and restart railo

For posterity, I found the task files in /web-inf/railo/remote-client/
open/ .

There were 169mb of tasks in the folder - I was just wondering if this
was a possible cause or if there is a limit to open tasks?

I'd upgraded straight from .001 to .019 though, so your explaination
would certainly fit.

Cheers,

It seems there's definitely a problem with tasks here.
I removed all the old ones as suggested and all was working fine -
however the same issue has returned after sending out newsletter
emails again.
Is there a problem with having too many tasks running?

Yeah, it's the exact same error as far as I can see.

I think it's somewhere in the region of 9,000 emails - I can't
actually find out because when I try to dump the list, I get an out of
memory error in cfdump!
That error is listed below.

As far as I'm aware, yes this was working on .001 - although I can't
be certain as it's a live site and it's clients using the newsletter
system. I can't test myself without sending out emails to 9,000 odd
people! I've not received any bug reports on this from the client
until yesterday however.

but in this case we get a other exception.

this happens because there is overflow in the rsponse body buffer.

Sorry, no... the error I posted was from a CFDump I tried to do on the
subscriber list.
The error in the task admin is identical to the one I quoted in my
first post.

I don't know much/anything about java, can someone tell me how I
increase the heap space?

Don't dump the list, dump the count/length

i.e. QueryName.RecordCount or ArrayLen(ArrayName) or whatever
depending on the object the list is.

[Gary Stanton]

Oddly enough, I can happily output all the data in a table no
problem... I only get an error when I use cfdump.

Still though, the issue for me is the email tasks.
It's around 10,000 emails.

[Russ Michaels]

Not answering your question, but just a tip. When sending bulk email it is better to use a proper list manager so you know what happens to those emails and can be sure they were delivered. Using cfmail really gives u nothing in that dept.
have a look at phplist. A popular open source list manager. It has an api so u can still use cfml interact with it.

You may be right on that front, but for the moment I need to fix the
issue in the current system.

Does anyone have any idea how I can see the tasks in the Railo admin?
Is there a limit on how many tasks can exist? From what I can see,
none of the outstanding tasks are being run.

I've got the exact same problem, we're sending out newsletters, too,
from within our CMS. Interfacing with some third party PHP app is not
an all too attractive option for us and sending this amount of mail
used to work fine for us with CF8 and the same JVM settings in regards
to heap size. So regardless of the availability of external list
manager applications I'd still like to see this considered as a
serious bug in Railo.

I too have upgraded directly from to downloaded Railo to .019, there
haven't been any mails sent in Railo before the upgrade happened
AFAIK, so it's somewhat unlikely that there should be an issue with
existing tasks in regards to the upgrade itself.

Kind regards

Markus

[Todd Rafferty]

May I ask what prompted you to upgrade to .019?

~Todd Rafferty ** Volunteer Railo Open Source Community Manager ** http://getrailo.org/

[Markus Wollny]

I remember that there had been some other issued with cfmail that had been fixed somewhere about .017 so I thought it was a good idea to get these fixes, too. There also has been at least one other error that hit us in 0.01 that has been fixed since, though I cannot remember now what it was.

Should I downgrade to some earlier release or would this mess things up even more thoroughly?

[Todd Rafferty]

If you upgraded from .001 to .019, no there's no 'inbetween'/earlier release you can roll back to.

You can read this ( http://www.railo.ch/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/27/Updating-Railo-behind-Proxy--Firewall ) and snag patches in between .001 and .019 and put them in the proper directory and see if that works. Jamie Krug's comment on that blog post mentions where to put the .rc files.

As Sean Corfield mentioned, you need to open up a ticket with as much information as possible.

~Todd Rafferty ** Volunteer Railo Open Source Community Manager ** http://getrailo.org/

[Gary Stanton]

I've gone from 001 to 019, but I can't go back any earlier because of
various other problems (cfthread request issue in 018, permgen I think
was 016).

The issue as far as I can see, isn't in cfmail itself, but in the
amount of tasks that can be handled in 019. The same amount work fine
in 001.
I could be wrong, it could be that cfmail is causing an issue which is
in turn slowing down the tasks and filling up the open folder, I'm not
sure... but one thing is certain, and that's that I can't view the
tasks in admin even though they were created in 019 and so aren't
subject to structure changes.

we will look into this with the highest priority

we have improved the SpoolerEngine, that the engine no longer depended on the available memory, we still running some stress tests with a 1000'000 undeliverable taks (mails) in the spooler in a regular installation, it looks good so far. this will be part of version 3.1.2.020.

/micha

p.s. do not forget that version 3.1.2.020 and 3.1.2.019 not can handle tasks from version 3.1.2.018 or older.

Hi Micha,

I've replied to this on the other thread, but I'm still concerned that
I can't view the outstanding tasks in the admin panel.
Assuming the issue is with the SpoolerEngine, which sounds reasonable,
I assume I should still be able to view outstanding tasks?

I've had another client send out a mass email today. This time they
have far less emails going out and it seems to have worked fairly
well, but again I now get an exception when I try to view the tasks in
their Railo admin.

Cheers,

Gary

Like written before, Railo 018,019,020 is not able to display/execute
task older than version 018, because the task implementation has
changed between version 017 and 018.
To see this tasks go back to version 017.
We have also fixed the display problem of tasks in the Railo admin for
version 020.
We search a way that the version 020 also can display/execute tasks
older than 018
Please have in mind that we speak of ber releases here, that should
not be used in productive environment.

Hi Micha,

Just to be clear, the tasks that I cannot view were created with .019
- I don't have any tasks created with previous versions.

With regard to running these releases in a production environment -
while it's not ideal, I would never be able to find all these issues
in a dev environment. Surely that's got to be a good thing?

Version 3.1.2.020 is available on test

/micha

[Gary Stanton]

Thanks Micha,

I won't be able to test this until Tuesday, as I'm away and can't risk
not being around if it all goes pear shaped!
I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers,

Gary

I've upgraded to .020 - Unfortunately, I can't test the original issue
until a client next decides to send out a mass email.
I am now however, running into a new problem with the email spooler
and tasks admin.

I can send test emails from most of my sites, however one site
constantly fails.
The failed task files exist on the server, however they do not show up
in the task admin screen. The admin screen shows how many tasks have
failed, corresponding to how many files are in the 'open' folder, but
they do not show up as records that can be clicked and viewed.
Consequently I can't actually see what the problem is.
The only difference between these emails and others that are working
fine, is that these ones contain PDFs as attachments.

Is there any way I can read the task files to find any kind of error?
There's nothing in any of the logs.

Cheers,

Gary

I've just had a client send out a mass newsletter email, and as far as
I can see it seems to be working ok under .020 - I was able to see the
tasks in the admin as they ran, and watched them get removed as they
(hopefully) completed successfully.

I still have the issue on the other site with PDF attachments, but the
new spooler system seems to solve the issue from .019.

Gary

[Michael Offner]

still missing your mail, have you send to <cfset susi="@"> michael#susi#getrailo.com?

/micha

[Gary Stanton]

Hi Micha,

That's right it's definitely sent to the correct address - do you have
a spam filter perhaps?

Gary

[Michael Offner]

have found it

[Michael Offner]

yes the attachment was the problem, railo failed to store a mail task with attachment correctly, we have fixed this for next release 021 available this week.

/micha

[Gary Stanton]

Great, thanks.

You can always get the railo-build project off of github and build the
latest bloody edged build yourself now.

LOL! Indeed:

http://github.com/denuno/railo-build

A cfdistro-powered build script for a "one-command, build railo from
source" type of deal.

It's teh awesome, but I could also just upload the compiled rc file
somewhere. :)

The cfdistro project is a tool for building/installing/deploying CFML
apps (and apparently, it works for other things too ;]).

The cfwheelsdro project is an example of cfdistro use, and lets you do
stuff like pull the latest wheels source from version control and run
tests kinda automated-like. I've actually got cfdistro'ed projects of
most the major frameworks, because cfdistro makes testing the same
code on Railo, OpenBD, and AdobeCF a snap.

It takes care of datasources, mappings, debugging settings, caching
settings, blah blah blah.

For Railo, it can do things like compile the CFML as part of a build,
without you having to do any painful copying and pasting/renaming of
files or whathaveyou. Easily makes .RA files, even.

Here's a link to cfdistro's source:

https://www.assembla.com/code/cfdistro/subversion/nodes/trunk

Real Soon Now there will actually be some documentation, too!
