Installing Bugzilla on a Window's System Part 1

As you are building your project, you need a way to keep track of issues. Many people keep track of issues in an excel spreadsheet which can be hard to maintain. The better way is to use an issue tracking system. Bugzilla is an open source issue tracking system. I don't think it is the best one out there, but it is the only open source one that I know about. It can be a big pain to install though.

You can install Bugzilla by checking it out from CVS, or by downloading the tar.gz file from their website.

Installing Bugzilla by downloading tar.gz
***************************************************
download from http://www.bugzilla.org/download/
select stable release
I am installing version Bugzilla 3.2.2

You will download a tar.gz file which some unzip programs can't unzip.

If you do not have a tool to unzip this type of archive file, you can download one from here: http://www.sfsu.edu/ftp/win/utils/. I Download the powarc61.exe.

You can now open the tar file for bugzilla using this tool. Select extract and place the bugzilla file somewhere on your c drive.


Install from CVS
********************************
Instead of installing from CVS using the command client, I would use TortoiseCVS.

You can download Tortoise from this site: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/download.shtml.
The version I am downloading is TortoiseCVSW-1.10.10.exe.

After installing it, you will select the right mouse button on your C: and select cvs checkout.

Fill in the following information-

Protocal: Password server (:pserver:)
Protocol parameters:
Server: cvs-mirror.mozilla.org
Port: 2401
Repository folder: /cvsroot
User name: anonymous
Module (located in the lower right corner): Bugzilla

***********************************
You also need to install mySQL. You can download mySQL from this website: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. You can see my mySQL tutorial for instructions on how to install it. If you already have it installed, you can skip this step.

Now you need to create the database for Bugzilla.

Start your mySql database and open your SQLyog Enterprise Manager. (If you aren't using an Enterprise Manager, you will need to create the database using the command prompt)

Under root@localhost, select your right mouse button and select create Database.

Input the name bugs for the database name.

Run this query in the Query Analyzer: grant all privileges on bugs.* to 'bugs'@'localhost'
Run this query: flush privileges;

Getting Form Information from PageContext in JSP Step 61

If you need to access form information without using a tag in your jsp page, you can do that by using the pageContext.

For Example, in your include-taglibs.jspf file, you can add this import.

%@ page import="com.form.UserForm"%>

In your UserForm class, you should add a test method:


public String getTest()
{
return "This is a test";
}

In your addbook.jsp page, you can add this code:

<%Object o=pageContext.getAttribute("userForm",PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE);
UserForm userForm=(UserForm)o;
System.out.println("testing: " userForm.getTest()); %>


This code will pull the userForm and call the method getTest. This can come in handy when a tag will not fulfill your needs.

You should make sure you use the proper scope for your application:
PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE
PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE
PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE

Using Probe with Tomcat Step 60

It is a good idea for you to be familiar with a profiler or static analysis tool. Profilers can give you information about memory leaks and other needed information to help you improve your code. One tool that you can try is the Lamda Probe which is a tool to analyze your Tomcat applications.

http://www.lambdaprobe.org/d/index.htm
You can download it from the above site and select the Download Lambda Probe on the left hand side. The version I downloaded is probe.1.7b.zip.

When you unzip it, you will notice that the file is called probe.war. Deploy that war file to your webapps folder of your tomcat instance.

You need to add some users to tomcat for this application. Open your tomcat-users.xml file under your tomcat conf folder.

Add these roles to this xml file:
<role rolename="probeuser"/><role rolename="poweruser"/><
role rolename="poweruserplus"/>

and add these users:
<user username="poweruser" password="poweruser" roles="poweruser"/>
<user username="poweruserplus" password="poweruserplus" roles="poweruserplus"/>
<user username="probeuser" password="probeuser" roles="probeuser"/>
<user username="probemanager" password="probemanager" roles="manager"/>

Now you should start your tomcat and visit this URL:
http://localhost:8080/probe/

Login as one of the users you added. I logged in as probeuser with the password as probeuser.
This application will give you data on the memory usage of your tomcat instance.

There are many other static analysis tools that can help you discover memory leaks and other issues you might have in your application.
