Ofbiz caching - JMeter Performance results on Ofbiz eCommerce store
Hi,
I did Jmeter performance testing on the Ofbiz server and the results are not
satisfactory. Here are the results:
- for 5 concurrent users (30 loops), the average response time is 2.5 secs
and 90% line is 5 secs.
- for 40 concurrent users (10 loops), the average response time is 27 secs
and 90% line is 44 secs.
For 40 concurrent users,
on ofbiz server - CPU spikes to 99% quite often and memory is as high as 44%
on db server - CPU spikes to 99% here too! memory usage is low though
Other details:
- The Ofbiz server and mysql database are on seperate servers (AMD Opteron
(Sun V20z), Cent OS, 8GB and 4GM RAM respectively).
- From the cache management webtools, the number of cache misses have been
quite less compared to the number of hits, which I think is correct.
- The cache settings are in according to as suggested in
OFBizBasicProductionSetup.pdf, with commented last lines in
cache.propertiesand with correct xms and xmx settings.
- We did do some modifications to the UI from the default eCommerce store
but only at UI level.
What I am not able to understand is why does the db server CPU needs to go
such high if caching was working perfectly. Concern is using such a good
hardware, or is there anything I am missing something basic about Ofbiz
caching.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Vijay.

I dont understand why , if your AJAX is calling a url that is in the
controller
you process will have the same access as any other request call.
This works for sure, I tested it.

Hello.
Maybe it would make sense to monitor the http dialog between server and
browser, to see if the authentication headers get sent from the browser
with the XMLHttpRequest, and if they were obtained by the browser during
the previous request - the one for the content filling the window from
where the XMLHttpRequest is sent.
What we found out with an exotic web server is that even if you do a call
to the server and send the authentication headers, the server won't send
them back unless the resource you request requires authentication (I
dunno, maybe that's in the spec, but it's odd). So if you have a window
displaying a resource requiring authentication, then open a new one, from
Javascript, which displays content not requiring authentication, then
issue an XMLHttpRequest from this second window, it is possible that the
XMLHttpRequest will not contain the authentication headers by default. If
this is your problem, I can't see any other solution than making the
resource from within which you send the XMLHttpRequest a protected one,
for wich authentication is required.
In case you wonder, Ethereal is a free and nice traffic sniffer, which we
used to diagnose such problems.

Hi,
I was able to use ajax and post a data to one of my services in
Ofbiz and i just specified as /control/xxxxxx it worked fine for me.
Check java Script console if u r using Mozilla.U may find some Java Script

BOM - Cost Question
Posted by Marcelo Hamra <ma...@hotmail.com>.
When I run a BOM Simulation, I couldn't get calculated the cost and total
cost fields. Does someone knows why it is ocurring? I defined costs in the
product cost tab for one raw material but nothing
happens. I've tried using the auto-calculate cost button, but it seems it
does nothing either.
Thanks in Advance.

I recommend considering DOJO toolkit. It's much richer in AJAX

We thought it was good to integrate something called prototype.js
which is pretty lightweight and saves us from writing the ajax stuff.
You can take a look at it yourself:
demo - http://demo.opentaps.org:8086/crmsfa/control/main - login as
"DemoSalesManager/crmsfa" and go to "Opportunities" The create
opportunity box uses ajax to complete the account name
checkout the code svn co svn://svn.opentaps.org/crmsfa/versions/1.0/

Re: AJAX and HttpSession
Posted by tibor katelbach <oc...@gmail.com>.
Hi all
I just read this post,
having worked quite a bit with ajax ,
it can get a bit chaotic if a choice has to be made amongst all available
scripts and ajax base codes.
They have great features but the hard part can be making the choice (
openrico.org or http://www.zkoss.org/ are also interesting )
But ajax being so simple to set up, it would be simplest to set up ofbiz's
own ajax.js.
After that Ajax calls work perfectly with ofbiz's REST url's, screen widget
.
example of where ajax came in handy for us :
- retreiving event or error messages from session attributes as asynchronous
services were launched.
- autocompletion
- databse updates
my two cents
Regards
Tibor

Prototype. This will be explained in the document. :)
It might be a good exercise to attempt the same feature in other frameworks.
I've already tried with Dojo and some others, of which the impression are
explained in the tutorial.

Posted by Sayoke Shome <sa...@techmahindra.com>.
There are two steady frameworks in Ajax,
1. DWR (Direct web remoting)
2. Dojo framework.
But I believe a naked Ajax application will be better suitable for Ofbiz
framework.

Great Idea. Our document is crmsfa based because we're actually using it and
have a live demo. The css and javascript libraries are in place. However, it
should be easy to create one for example/ that autocompletes Person based on our
implementation.
I hope the dust settles in AJAX, but I bet there will be several different
mainstream approaches, just like there are several different scripting languages
that fill the scripting niche. We're going to have to settle for one, just like
we settled on freemarker and bsh. :-)

RE: AJAX and HttpSession
Posted by Sayoke Shome <sa...@techmahindra.com>.
I think that would be great.
In my project I had to use Ajax pattern and I faced similar problem in
accessing Http Session. Ajax request was simply creating new session. As you
can understand in shopping cart application session is the most crucial
thing.
What I did to access session is got the session token from "Document.Url"
and used the session to call the server so that it taps on the existing
session. It worked but this is called "URLRewritting" which is highly unsafe
method.
My code is :
function sendDataToServer(parameters){
var url =
"<@o...@ofbizUrl>;JSESSIONID_ofbiz="+getCookie("JSESSI
ONID_ofbiz");
request.onreadystatechange = updateOrderSoFar; //updatePage;
takeRequest = true;
try{
request.open("POST",url,true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
request.send(parameters);
}catch(PostNotAllowed) {
//some old versions of Safari browser does not Support POST
try{
var uri_get = url+"?" + parameters;
request.open("GET",uri_get,true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-length",
parameters.length);
request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
request.send(null);
//alert("Request send to server using Post and url
:"+uri_get);
}catch(failed){
alert("Sorry! your browser is not allowing me to
send any request to server.");
}
}
}
If you can give me any better Ideas It will be highly helpful.

It would be great to have an example/poc or two in different parts of
the project, or even in the example component, that people can look
at and use as a basis for other parts of the project or
customizations or whatever.
Given the somewhat chaotic nature of the AJAX world, it might be nice
to have multiple PoC bits in place to compare things for making a
decision for other parts.

That worked! I can get userLogin now but LocalDispatcher with dispatcher
attribute is still null. That is not a big deal as I get the LocalDispatcher
this way -
LocalDispatcher dispatcher = GenericDispatcher.getLocalDispatcher("local",
delegator);

Amit,
What URL are you requesting? The app server doesn't know the difference
between plain browser requests and ajax requests. It's just a matter of
URL construction.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has played with AJAX. I want to call a
OFBiz service by making an XMLHttpRequest. I have a RequestHandler that
is supposed to process this request. The problem I am facing is of
HttpSession.
Even though I am logged in, I get userLogin, dispatcher and delegator
attributes null. Is there a way where we can get our HttpSession
attributes from XMLHttpRequest. Do we need to do any special thing or is
this just a limitation?
Without a valid HttpSession, I obviously cant run the service
unless I pass userLoginId in the XMLHttpRequest and get UserLogin value
through delegator.
This approach will pose a security hazard nonetheless.
Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Amit Shinde

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has played with AJAX. I want to call a
OFBiz service by making an XMLHttpRequest. I have a RequestHandler that
is supposed to process this request. The problem I am facing is of
HttpSession.
Even though I am logged in, I get userLogin, dispatcher and delegator
attributes null. Is there a way where we can get our HttpSession
attributes from XMLHttpRequest. Do we need to do any special thing or is
this just a limitation?
Without a valid HttpSession, I obviously cant run the service
unless I pass userLoginId in the XMLHttpRequest and get UserLogin value
through delegator.
This approach will pose a security hazard nonetheless.
Any insight will be appreciated.

AJAX and HttpSession

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has played with AJAX. I want to call a OFBiz
service by making an XMLHttpRequest. I have a RequestHandler that is
supposed to process this request. The problem I am facing is of HttpSession.
Even though I am logged in, I get userLogin, dispatcher and delegator
attributes null. Is there a way where we can get our HttpSession attributes
from XMLHttpRequest. Do we need to do any special thing or is this just a
limitation?
Without a valid HttpSession, I obviously cant run the service unless I pass
userLoginId in the XMLHttpRequest and get UserLogin value through delegator.
This approach will pose a security hazard nonetheless.
