Child exists: ROOT - Deployment Issue with WCM

pcorliss — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:46:12 GMT

We're running Community 3.2r2 and seeing a bizarre issue where the the capitalization of 'ROOT' drops to 'root'.When deploying to an avm intermittently we can see the following during heavy editing and deployment operations. When this happens the deployment receiver's paths change from /www/avm_weba

Please raise this in issues.alfresco.com. Its good to see so much info in a forum posting, but if you can add any more information that may help. It will have a better chance of being resolved if you can isolate a test case that fails.

For a start are you deploying to a local or remote machine? And of the 7 failures over 12 hours what were the number of successful deployments? And the deployment report for the deployment that fails and the one before it may help.

I'll post an issue tomorrow morning. In the meantime I believe we've found the issue. I've posted a demo video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X65rpUAvgbI

Basically we were hitting a webscript that called the following function. We were calling it with the following URL. When we called it with the improper URL (simulated later via jmeter) and a deployment occurred simultaneously the "ROOT" folder would be renamed to "root". Earlier tests using jmeter with the proper URL 'ROOT' yielded no issues.

http://[HOST]:8080/alfresco/service/wetpaint/node.xml?store=wetpaint2-live&path=/www/avm_webapps/root/Foo.xml 
instead of
http://[HOST]:8080/alfresco/service/wetpaint/node.xml?store=wetpaint2-live&path=/www/avm_webapps/ROOT/Foo.xml ‍‍‍

        getNode: function(store, contentPath)
        {
            var path = store+":"+contentPath;
            var node = avm.lookupNode(path);
            if(node != undefined){
                return node;
            }
            return false;
        }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can you please confirm the collation for the avm_child_entries.name column on each of your DB schemas (including both WCM authoring and AVM runtime).

eg. for MySQL post output from running following against each database

show full columns from <database_name>.avm_child_entries;‍

Thanks,
Jan
