Repository access through Business Central broken after deleting a repository in BRMS cluster

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss BRMS
    • 6.0.2

Issue

  • I have a cluster of 2 servers, which share the repositories, so changes through each instance of Biz Central in the cluster are visible to all instances. At first it worked fine. But now I get an error message box displayed with the following text:
Unable to complete your request. The following exception occurred: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:Parameter named 'resource' is not instance of clazz 'RuntimeResource'!.

This error occurs any time I log in, and when navigating from the home page to the Project Authoring page. After I click OK, on the error message box, the page loads, but the explorer pane on the left is blank, so I don't have visibility of any repositories or project info.

Resolution

The issue is filed as a BZ (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123725) and will likely be fixed in BRMS 6.1.0.

As an interim workaround, please follow the steps:
- Delete a OrganizationUnit in problem ([Administration]->[Manage Organizational Units]-> "Delete" button in Organizational Unit Manager)
- Create a OrganizationUnit again with the same name ("Add" button in Organizational Unit Manager)
- Associate repositories for the OrganizationUnit (Use list-box in Organizational Unit Manager)

Root Cause

The issue is filed as a BZ (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123725) and will likely be fixed in BRMS 6.1.0.

This issue happens in the sequence:

  1. Delete a repository in a cluster environment
  2. BRMS doesn't correctly de-associate the delete repository from an OrganizationalUnit
  3. Next login after BRMS reboot loads the wrong OrganizationalUnit state
  4. Result in the IllegalArgumentException

Diagnostic Steps

  • Enable DEBUG level log for 'org.jboss.errai'. You will see DEBUG level stack trace.
08:44:06,191 DEBUG [org.jboss.errai.bus.server.io.AbstractRPCMethodCallback] (http-/10.232.10.84:8080-1) RPC endpoint threw exception:: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter named 'resource' is not instance of clazz 'RuntimeResource'!

...
  • If the stack trace comes from ExplorerServiceImpl.getRepositories(), the root cause is likely the one described in "Root Cause" section. If not, need further debugging (e.g. apply a debug module to print out 'resouce.getClass()' in RuntimeResourceManager.requiresAuthentication())
