[Anthill-pro] Anthill Pro remoting API

Thu Feb 14 16:30:43 CST 2008

Steve,

Actually, I used your example to reproduce this exception, but I
originally encountered from my own custom code.  My custom code creates
a project, including all properties, workflows, etc.  The same code will
work within an evaluate script step, but fails with the given exception
when run through the remoting API.

Right now, I was just building this code into a Java-based console
application, but the long term goal was to write an advanced web
interface for the creation and maintenance of projects and eventually to
tie it into a workflow engine like Websphere Workflow.  Of course, this
issue kind of has that at a standstill.  

The second reason for using the remoting API is so that we can develop,
debug, and test code we would ultimately put into an evaluate script
step more easily through Eclipse.

I can send you the custom code, if you think that would be helpful, but
I reproduced the problem with the createProject.bsh example just to
remove my code from the equation.

Thanks,

Eric,

Our examples are out of date, and we are working to update them now.  

What are you specifically trying to accomplish in remote scripting? 

With some detail we can lead you down the correct path.

Regards,
Steve Boone

	Is the remoting API still supported?  I have encountered these
issues in
	both 3.4.3 and 3.4.7.

	I started out with the anthill3-remoting.zip as provided from
the
	server's tools page, but I had to modify ah3client.cmd to add
some
	additional JARs to the classpath that were evidently missing.

	Once I did that, I'm getting null pointer exceptions related to
	permissions/resources whenever I try to run a script that
creates new
	objects.  Scripts that read and don't create anything new, like
the
	example getProjectList.bsh, work fine.

	Here is an example from running the Urbancode-included
	"createProject.bsh".  I have taken similar code and run it as a
	beanshell step within the server, and it has executed with no
issues.
	This problem appears to be specific to the remoting API; the
RESOURCE_ID
	FOR SEC_PERMISSION is null.
