Error: serialization policy file not found

[clinton]

Hello, I've noticed the following error in our server log, but I can't find any *.rpc files in the distribution:

How can I eliminate this error?

Hi Clinton,

You seem to get a lot more warnings under Glassfish than we ever see under my non-validating tomcat!  I've never seen this warning before.

I've had a quick look.  I think we do ship a 43AEABB1E9457CED949783726479856A.gwt.rpc file for the admin app but we may not be shipping one for the konakart app.

Could you please confirm?

These should appear directly under the konakart and konakartadmin webapps (alongside the large *.cache.js and *.cache.html files).

The file you refer to that I think may be missing is used in the konakart single-page checkout (a little bit of GWT AJAX code to make a nicer checkout "experience").  You can actually disable this feature in the admin app which would eliminate this warning (I think) - but you would return to a JSP impementlation of the checkout.   

One more question...  Do you get to see the single-page checkout working despite this warning in the log ?

Regards,
Brian

Thanks Brian,
  the only *.rpc file I can see in the entire konakart 2.2.0.7 distribtution, is under konakartadmin. Should there be an equivalent for the konakart app ?

I've only briefly looked at the admin app to date. I don't think we are using single page checkout, I'll have to get back to you on that next week.

Hi Clinton,

OK, thanks for confirming that.  That's what I thought.  Next version we'll definitely ship an rpc file for the GWT single-page checkout in the konakart webapp.

I would expect that you are using the single page checkout because that's the default.   (To check you could use the Admin App or check the value (configuration_value) for the 'ONE_PAGE_CHECKOUT' (configuration_key) in the database - configuration table -- if 'true' you're using one-page checkout.

This is related to our moving to the latest release of GWT in the 2.2.0.7 release.

Can you let us know if the checkout still works despite this warning in the log?  (I think it should still work)


Have a good weekend;   

Thanks,
Brian

Hello Brian,
  I've checked the database configuration table and our ONE_PAGE_CHECKOUT is true.
I can drive the app through to the "Payment" screen, and even place a successfull order using cash-on-delivery.

Look forward to the rpc file in the next release.

Hi Clinton,

Just to confirm that we've corrected the package-building to include that rpc file from version 2.2.0.8 onwards.

Glad it appears to be working despite the messages in the log.

Regards,
Brian
