Eclipse Web Tools Frequent Asked Questions
Many of the FAQ's found on this page have been pulled from the WTP newsgroup. Thank you to everyone that took the time to answer these questions.
Looking for FAQ's related to the development of WTP? See the Committer FAQ.
If you have identified a FAQ that is not in this list, please add it to the list. You will need a bugzilla user id in order to edit the page.
How is the Eclipse Web Tools platformed licensed?
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform consists of software produced by the Eclipse Project combined with third party software from other open source projects. The software produced by the Eclipse Project is made available under the Eclipse Public License. Third party components are made available under their own licenses. The detailed licensing information can be found in the Eclipse.org Software User Agreement (notice.html) file in the root directory of the SDK download. Licensing for third party components is described in about.html files in the respective subdirectories.
How can I tell what is new and noteworthy within an specific release?
To be filled in.
How can I find a list of known problems with a release?
To be filled in.
Why am I getting a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space?
The default maximum PermGen space set by your JRE may be too small. You can increase the maximum PermGen size by launching WTP with VM argument:
Note that this issue only appears to happen using a Sun Java Runtime. Others runtime environments do not seem to have this issue.
After updating to Eclipse Europa why did I get this "can't find view" error?
After updating to Eclipse Europa I restart and get this error:
Problems occurred restoring workbench.
Could not find view: org.eclipse.wst.rdb.server.ui.navigator.serverExplorer
These errors are expected as RDB is not a part of Europa, so the associated RDB views and perspectives are not there. The user can use the new DTP views and perspectives.
Who are the contributors to the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project?
We have a whole page listing the hard working contributors to this project. See the Committer FAQ if you are a committer.
What version of Eclipse does WTP work with?
- WTP 1.0.x runs on Eclipse 3.1.x.
- WTP 1.5.x runs on Eclipse 3.2.
- WTP 2.0.x runs on Eclipse 3.3.
- WTP 3.0 is planned for Eclipse 3.4.
To use WTP with Eclipse 2.1.x see the IBM alphaWorks project IBM Web Tools for Eclipse.
Which zip file should I download?
The WTP SDK (wtp-sdk-*.zip) includes both the Web Standard Tools and J2EE Standard Tools, including source and both user and programmer documentation. If you aren't sure which download you need, you should probably get the SDK.
The software development kit (SDK) downloads are for developers wishing to build solutions on top of the Web Tools Platform, while the non-SDK (e.g.: wtp-0.7.zip) downloads are suitable for everyone else's use. The project also provides separate builds of the Web Standard Tools (wtp-wst-*.zip) by themselves for those uninterested in the tooling for J2EE standards.
How do I install WTP?
- Automatic installation using the Update Manager in Eclipse 3.2.x
- The Web Tools Platform has several required projects that must all be installed for proper operation. Each WTP build is built and tested with specific versions of these "prereqs" (see the Requirements section on each specific build's download page) and it's recommended that only those versions be installed and active when used with a particular WTP build. The WTP download page for each build details the complete list of requirements and provides links to download the supported versions. Downloading and unpacking each should place its contents into a folder named eclipse.
- Unpack the Eclipse SDK
- Unzip the Graphical Editor Framework (GEF) into the same location
- Unzip the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) / XML Schema Infoset Model (XSD) / Service Data Objects (SDO) into the same location
- Unzip the Java EMF Model (JEM) from the Visual Editor Project into the same location [if listed among the prereqs]
- Unzip the Web Tools Platform build into the same location
WTP should now be installed. Launch Eclipse with the -clean option one time to ensure all plug-ins are detected properly.
The identical revision of the full VE-SDK may be substituted for the listed JEM-SDK version if you wish to use the Visual Editor and the Web Tools Platform at the same time.
A screencast that includes setting up Xdoclet and a JBoss 3.x test server is also available.
Are there any WTP tutorials available?
Yes! See the WTP Community Resources page.
Data Tools
Where can I find the WTP Data Tools?
Select Window->Show View->Other...->Data. You can then open the Database Explorer and Data Output views. Note: WTP 2.0 will not contain its own data tools as the Data Tools Project is now available.
Where can I find the New J2EE Web Module wizard?
J2EE Web Module has been renamed Dynamic Web Project.
Does the WTP include a visual JSP editor?
There is no visual JSP editor in WTP 1.5.
A Web Page Designer is available as part of WTP 2.0.
How do I install XDoclet in WTP?
To install XDoclet:
- Download XDoctlet from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=31602.
- Unzip XDoclet to a directory on your machine such as C:\XDoclet
- Specify the directory in which XDoclet is located in Window->Preferences->J2EE Annotations->XDoclet.
What types of EJBs does WTP support?
WTP supports entity, session and messages driven beans. Support for the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) is available from the Eclipse Dali Project.
The license dialog hangs Eclipse or doesn't allow me to click accept. What can I do?
This issue is fixed in WTP 1.5.3. If you are experiencing this issue please update to a 1.5.x or greater version.
Where are cached files located?
The cached files are located in WORKSPACE_DIR/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.internet.cache. The entries are all named with numbers but you can see the mappings in the cache.xml file located in the same directory.
How do I debug JSPs with BEA WebLogic Server 8.x?
BEA WebLogic Server 8.x and earlier do not support JSR-45; WebLogic Server 9.x and later do support JSR-45 so you can debug JSP files with them using WTP (note: there are outstanding issues with JSP source lookup for the WLS Generic adapter in 0.7 - see bug 104401).
How do I debug JSPs with Apache Tomcat 4.x?
Apache Tomcat 4.x and earlier do not support JSR-45; Tomcat 5.x and later do support JSR-45 so you can debug JSP files with them using WTP.
Where can I find out more about the Tomcat support in WTP?
For more information about the support for Tomcat 4.0 through Tomcat 5.5 in WTP, see this separate Tomcat FAQ.
You're likely editing an XHTML file which requires that the file be well formed XML.
Does WTP's JavaScript editor report syntax errors?
The current JavaScript editor does not report syntax errors and the core WTP editing team has no plan to add a JavaScript validator. The ATF project provides JavaScript validators that readily plug into the WTP JavaScript editor, and the new JavaScript Development Tools project aims at delivering a complete JavaScript editing experience for the WTP 3.0 time-frame.
JSDT has been incorporated into WTP 3.0 Milestone 3.
Web Services
Can the WSDL validator be extended to validate extension elements, for example partnerLinks and properties from the WS-BPEL specification?
Yes! The WSDL validator has extension points (which should all be considered internal, non-API at this point) which allow you to plug your own extension validator for a given namespace into the WSDL validator.
In this case, you can create a validator for the WS-BPEL namespace and plug-it into the WSDL validator. Your validator will get called any time an element from the WS-BPEL namespace is encountered.
The WSDL HTTP validator and SOAP validator both use this extension mechanism. To contribute your validator to the WSDL validator you need to specify an entry in your plugin manifest as follows: (I'm assuming http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/business-process/ is the BPEL namespace.)
<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.wsdl.validation.wsdl11validator"> <wsdl11validator class="org.example.WSBPELValidator" namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/business-process/" resourcebundle="wsbpelvalidator"/> </extension>
Why does WTP produce errors for multiple import statements for the same namespace in WSDL 1.1?
The WSDL 1.1 schema restricts wsdl:import statements by specifying that they must contain unique namespaces. This means one import per namespace per WSDL document.
What are the list of known problems for Axis2 Web services in WTP 2.0?
Here are the list of major known bugs for Axis2 Web services in WTP 2.0:
- 184301 - Ant task not supported for Axis2 Web service. The workaround is to use the Web services wizard instead.
- 187840 - InvocationTargetException in Axis2 scenario. The workaround is to retry the scenario or to exit and re-enter the workbench.
- 186429 - Validation of Axis2 JSP is slow. The workaround is to turn off JSP validation in the Preferences.
- 192522 - FileNotFoundException copying to build/classes directory. The workaround is to set Java output directory to build/classes or apply the patch attached to the bug.
- 194786 - Problem running Axis2 servlet on server with different servlet level. The workaround is to delete servletapi-2.3.jar from the WebContent/WEB-INF/lib directory and restart the WAR or EAR.
- 192280 - RPC/encoded not supported in Axis2 client and skeleton scenario.
- 193593 - Custom namespace to package mapping not working.
- 193996 - Unable to select ports and services for client or skeleton.
- 184627 - Error deleting Axis2 project. The workaround is to stop the server first and then remove the project from the server before deleting the project.
How do I use my own filename extensions in the XML editor? It only works correctly if a file ends with .xml.
Note: this also applies to the JSP and HTML editors and others in WTP
Earlier versions of Eclipse only allowed users to associated editors with custom file names using the File Associations preference page. Eclipse 3.1 supports a more flexible notion of Content Types that allows more than just editors to treat custom-named files as XML, for example. Instead of using the File Associations preference page, add the filename extension to the new Content Types preference page. Doing so "teaches" Eclipse about that filename extension so that features such as Validation and Task Tag detection also support those files correctly.
How do I programmatically add entries to the XML catalog?
The XML catalog extension point schema contains specific definitions of how to use the extension point. You can view the schema here.
For easier viewing, checkout the org.eclipse.wst.xml.core plugin from the repository and view this file with the Eclipse extension schema editor.
Why does the XML catalog preference dialog only show URI Key type entry when no file is selected?
As Public ID and System ID are only applicable to DTD entity resolution in order to see these options in addition to URI for the Key Type choice you must first select a DTD file.
When you select an XSD file you will see Namespace Name and Schema Location for the Key Type selection.

In Loving Memory: Brandon Lacy Campos
November 11, 2012
It is with a heavy heart that I share news of the passing of Brandon Lacy Campos. Brandon was a longtime activist, a prolific writer -- journalist, blogger, novelist, poet -- and an electrifying performer and public speaker. He also had a face filled with wisdom and mischief; a laugh you could not help but join with your own; a presence that could best be described as radiant. He died in New York City this past Friday, Nov. 9; at the time of this writing, the cause of his death had not been determined. He was 35 years old.
"I am standing in front of you a black, white, Ojibwe, Afro-Boricua, HIV-positive, queer man," Brandon stated at his final speaking engagement, the keynote speech at Tufts University's annual Black Solidarity Day this past Monday; "And I am just as black as any of you. You are my community, you are my salvation." Brandon wrote with passion and candor about the intersections and contradictions of race, class, gender and sexuality in his own life, and in U.S. culture, on his blog on TheBody.com and through many other outlets. He applied this same unbridled honesty in sharing his experiences as an activist, a partner, a lover, a feminist, a community member; a person living with HIV, in recovery from addiction and often struggling with disclosure.
Brandon was a regular contributor to TheBody.com from June 2010 until the day before President Obama's reelection; I had the honor and the pleasure of working with him in this capacity for this entire period. While Brandon exited the closet in his late teens "with a roar and a high kick" -- as he told it once in an op-ed for The Advocate -- and had worked in queer community since that time, coming out as HIV positive and contributing to a blog focused exclusively on his thoughts and experiences as a person living with HIV scared the hell out of him. Yet still he did it, with empathy, bravery and elegance.
In a particularly powerful March 2011 entry, Brandon had this to say to his readers in the HIV community:
Within hours of his passing, Brandon's Facebook page was adorned with hundreds of heartfelt statements from those who'd had even the briefest of encounters with him. He leaves behind scores of friends and family, both biological and extended; my thoughts are with them as they cope with this profound loss.
There is so much still to say about Brandon's life, and the ways he touched so many of ours. It is criminal to have to memorialize someone whose time in our midst was so short. Still, Brandon filled that time to its brim with richness, principled action, passionate creativity and boundless love. On our final days, may we all be able to make a similar claim.
For more details on Brandon's professional and literary accomplishments, as well as quotes from colleagues and friends, we urge you to read Rod McCullom's obituary for Brandon on Rod 2.0; or this piece on Advocate.com, to which Brandon was also a contributor. Please also feel free to share your remembrances of Brandon in the comments section below.

Condolences to Brandon's family and friends.
This death reminds me of Dr. Bob's, another much loved HIV+ person who appeared to be in the greatest health but who was suddenly struck down.
I very much hope that Brandon's family will help us all by eventually releasing every detail the doctors or the postmortem produces regarding Brandon's death. We need to know.
Comment by: Green Trees (Atlanta, GA) Tue., Nov. 20, 2012 at 12:47 pm UTC
I am so sorry to hear about Brandon's passing. Ive been following his blog on the Body since its inception. I'm going to miss his refreshing take on life, love, and HIV.
Comment by: JC (New York, New York) Wed., Nov. 14, 2012 at 10:33 am UTC
I just lost my beloved brother four days before Brandon, on November 5th, 2012. He was 34 years old, so this story really hits home. We must not let these deaths be in vain. We must all become activists and spread the word that people are still dying, even in this day and age of modern medicine, of this wretched disease. Rest in Peace Brandon, and if you happen to meet my brother on the other side, please take care of him. I can only offer my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to his family, fiends, and all of those who were touched by his presence.
Comment by: GaryLosAngeles (Los Angeles) Wed., Nov. 14, 2012 at 5:39 am UTC
Terribly saddened with love and condolences to all!!!!
Comment by: Dee (Virginia) Tue., Nov. 13, 2012 at 3:05 pm UTC
Such a terrible loss. I've read so much about this wonderful man and the things he has accomplished. He has really made a difference for us in the LGBT community and we all can learn alot from him. RIP Brandon.
Comment by: Jeannie Wraight (Bronx, New York) Mon., Nov. 12, 2012 at 11:03 pm UTC
The HIV and gay communities have suffered a tremendous and tragic loss. Brandon will be missed and always remembered by the body.com family. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Thank-you Olivia for such a lovely piece.
Comment by: angel fabian (new york) Mon., Nov. 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm UTC
may you always walk in beauty brandon, you will be missed
Comment by: Steve Schmidt (OKC) Mon., Nov. 12, 2012 at 2:50 pm UTC
Thanks, Olivia, for writing such a wonderful review of Brandon's life and work. It's hard not to be over-dramatic at a time like this, but it seems like a brilliant candle has been snuffed out. His life and his work touched so many, including me, and he will be missed. Thanks again for holding him up in the light one more time.
Comment by: Divine Grace (NYC) Sun., Nov. 11, 2012 at 1:01 pm UTC
I am a friend of Brandon's, and I just wanted to tell you that his involvement with thebody.com was something that he was particularly proud of.

2. Put together a travel kit. Include some water, antibacterial soap, electrolyte and nutritional support (protein bars, supplements, and powdered nutrients that you can add to water), sunscreen, and first aid supplies. Obviously, if you are traveling by car, you can take more goods, such as extra snack/emergency food and water. When traveling by air, you?ll need to make your supplies more compact, but I always have water, a mini-flashlight, a few snacks such as a couple of apples and raw almonds, some simple first aid supplies, a variety of supplements and herbal remedies, and more. Yet, don?t overdo it as you?re likely to have to carry it all around.
3. Take care of your personal needs and of course, those of your traveling companions as well. Match activities with your energy and fitness level. Listen to your body. Give yourself the extra time needed to truly rest and relax. Let yourself sleep more than you do at home. Most of us are sleep deprived. Give yourself sufficient space to acclimate to changes in weather, altitude, or language.
4. Drink plenty of water; hydration is a key. This is especially important if you are visiting a place that is hotter or drier than your usual environment. Don't wait until you get thirsty to drink; you?re already dehydrated then (Review my June 2002 Tips for more on Water). Avoid beverages with added sugar, caffeine or alcohol, as these can contribute to dehydration. After exercise and sweating, drink a cup or two of water and add a pack of nutrients, such as Emergen-C (found in any health food store), or some replenishing electrolyte fluid.
5. Use sunscreen (natural is best) and remember to reapply after swimming or strenuous exercise. Invest in a natural sunscreen, one without many chemicals and that is more nourishing to the skin. If it?s really hot or you?ll be out very long, wear a hat. Also, in summertime, we can get quite dry, so applying some oils or lotions to our skin will nourish your cells and tissues and protect your skin.
6. Take appropriate safety precautions, especially when trying new activities. Things like elbow and kneepads, life vests, and other safety equipment can prevent accidents that truly can ruin your vacation enjoyment. Watch out for poison oak and ivy on hikes, check yourself and your kids for ticks after a hike, and have some protection against biting bugs or slithering snakes.
7. Avoid contaminated food or drinks, which are the major cause of stomach distress while traveling. This is especially true if you are traveling outside the US, but bad food and water can happen anywhere. To be safe, if it is not boiled, well cooked, or peeled, don't eat it. If you do fall victim to traveler's diarrhea, let your stomach rest and be sure to stay hydrated. Use probiotics (acidophilus and other healthy bacteria) both to prevent intestinal problems as well as to treat them. Some other GI protection can be gained by taking additional nutritional hydrochloric acid when you eat, which acidifies the digestive tract and reduces the ability for bad bugs to take hold. Digestive enzymes also help digest microbes to which we are exposed.
8. Know about your destination, at least the basics, before you get there. Don't keep money in a shoulder bag or obvious wallet. Exercise caution when using automatic teller machines and other places where you will be seen with cash. Be aware of your surroundings, and have an evacuation plan in case of emergencies. Also, learn about the best Foods where you are. Enjoy Nature?s bounty wherever you travel (in the US and Europe)?fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables at their organic best. Many cities have a downtown farmer?s market; ask the locals where they would go for the best and freshest foods.
9. Nutritional Supplements can be helpful. All the anti-oxidant nutrients are helpful for the stress of travel?vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and selenium are the main ones. Others are alpha-lipoic acid, pycnogenol, and L-cysteine. I use B-vitamins as tablets or sublingual drops as well for balancing travel stress. Also, it may be helpful to have some spirulina or blue-green algae tablets for energy support. Store your supplements out of the sun or in the cooler. Herbs like Siberian ginseng may also help you deal with the stress of travel. When traveling across time zones, melatonin taken at your new bedtime can help reset your biologic time clock. Even low doses can be effective, so easy does it. Nutrient packets with extra B-vitamins and minerals are also very helpful for travel and exercise replenishment. Put a pack in your water.
10. Inner Healing & De-Stressing ? Prepare for the enjoyment of outdoors. Plan a fun trip of hiking, camping, playing at the river, or a few days resting at the ocean. Rekindling your Earth connection has benefits that last beyond this season, continuing to enrich the whole of your life. Relax and breathe. Enjoy yourself. Practice letting your stresses go, leaving them at home or the office when you?re on vacation. Find a great book to read on your trip. Get out in Nature. Be aware of vacation burnout, so build some time into every day for rest and replenishment. This might entail letting yourself just sit for awhile watching the clouds, the surf, listening to music, or reading a good book. Try being a wave or becoming the sky. I love an affirmation used for relaxation when I lie down, especially in a meadow, "My mind is the sky, and the clouds are my thoughts; I just watch them float by."

Author Notes: OK, admit it. You're at the party. You've had your crostini and cheeses, your seafood, your meatballs. You sampled the olives and nuts; the caviar and pate. Aren't you dying for something sweet? Decadent, chocolate, rich. So delicious that one small bite satisfies.
Here you are: Chocolate.
I'm going to give you some suggestions for customizing these, but really, the beauty of this recipe is that you can make it your own. Enjoy them with an espresso or a glass of champagne. It's a party! Have fun!
Makes: about 24
ounces (1 stick) butter (plus more for pan)
ounces unsweetened chocolate
cup flour
teaspoon powdered espresso
cup Dutch-process cocoa
teaspoon kosher salt
cup granulated sugar
cup brown sugar
large eggs
teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional ingredients: crushed peppermints (or Altoids), peppermint extract, chocolate chips, cinnamon, nuts, almond extract, orange zest and juice, cardamom, powdered sugar, flaky sea salt
- Heat oven to 350. Butter the wells of a non-stick mini muffin pan.
- Melt butter and chocolate in a large heavy pot over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat so it can cool a bit. While it's cooling, whisk together flour, espresso powder, cocoa, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
- When the chocolate mixture has cooled to lukewarm, whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated, then add vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just blended.
- If desired, divide batter into 3 or 4 batches, depending on how many different types of brownies you want to make. Into each group stir in: 1. 1/8 tsp. peppermint extract and 2-3 TB crushed peppermints. 2. 1/4 c. chocolate chips and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. 3. 1/8 tsp. almond extract and 1/4 c. chopped nuts. 4. 1 TB orange zest, 1 tsp. orange juice and 1/8 tsp. ground cardamom. (Amounts are approximate--feel free to play with the proportions to your taste. It's your chocolate fantasy!)
- To make them pretty and evenly shaped, place the batter in a ziploc bag, cut off one corner, and squeeze the batter evenly into the wells. (This works with smooth batters; is more challenging with the chunky ones. You can use a tablespoon.) Fill just below the top of the wells. (Refrigerate unused batter till ready to use. It may make the batter a little difficult to squeeze or scoop, but if the butter gets too soft, it sort of melts in the wells while baking and the brownie bites are difficult to remove.)
- Bake in the middle of the oven for ~12-15 minutes, until a tester comes out with moist crumbs still adhering (if you like soft chewy brownies). If you prefer cakelike brownies, bake an extra minute or two. Better to underbake these--they will continue to bake when you take them out and they are very small.
- As soon as they are cool enough to handle, carefully remove them from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack. To serve, you may dust with powdered sugar and/or sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Melbourne: Human activity - rather than climate change - has been found to be the main cause of catastrophic devastation to southern Indian Ocean coral reef system.
It was previously regarded as having the richest biodiversity system in the Indian Ocean with more than 6000 species identified, and seen as the equivalent to Australia`s iconic Great Barrier Reef.
Assistant Professor Dr Jens Zinke, from the University of Western Australia`s Oceans Institute, examined the once-pristine Grand Recif of Toliara (GRT) which stretches about 19km off south-west Madagascar.
"It`s quite devastating what happened to the reef, it was a really beautiful place in the 1960s and `70s, but somehow it became totally degraded," Zinke said in a statement.
The study found the reef had been beset by a "wicked" series of problems in the past 50 years, including a one degree rise in average temperature, lower rainfall, overfishing and destructive fishing practices, and other activities associated with human population growth.
"These sorts of pressures have been labelled "wicked" problems because they are complex, persistent and challenging to solve," Zinke added.
Land-based problems such as hinterland deforestation and loss of fertile soils aggravated by a drying climate had driven people from the land to sea in search of a living.
"People who were once dependent on agriculture shifted to become fishermen for their livelihood - with catastrophic consequences for the coral system," Zinke said.
Major problems were caused by fishing with mosquito nets which are harmful for corals and seagrass, and octopus fishing, in which corals were trampled and broken.
Researchers also found that restrictions such as "no take" zones didn`t work.
The study was published in the journal Ecology and Society.

Smoke in Southwest Colorado is coming from the Assayii Lake Fire north-northwest of Gallup, New Mexico. The growing fire Monday necessitated the evacuation of two rural communities.
The fire, on the Navajo Nation about 100 miles southwest of Durango, ballooned to more than 17 square miles, forcing Navajo Nation police to issue an evacuation order for parts of Naschitti and nearby Sheep Springs. About 400 people live in the area, and fire managers said those who have yet to leave have been put on notice that more evacuations could be possible.
Evacuees were being put up for the night at the high school gymnasium in Tohatchi.
The fire started Friday, according to a news release Monday morning from Durango Interagency Fire Dispatch. Several hundred firefighters were on scene, as were a number of aircraft.
The fire is burning in stands of mixed conifers. A dispatcher at the Flagstaff (Arizona) Fire Dispatch Center said the cause of the fire is being investigated.
A Type 2 response team reached the fire early Monday, he said.
Current weather conditions likely will bring smoke from the fire toward Southwest Colorado for the next several days. Smoke has lowered visibility in Durango, the Animas Valley and at Navajo Lake, according to various reports.
A red-flag warning is in effect for Southwest Colorado through Tuesday.
A red-flag warning, according to the National Weather Service, requires a combination of conditions: dry fuel, winds of more than 25 mph and relative humidity of less than 15 percent.
"The next couple of weeks, until the monsoons arrive, are going to be the most critical period for fire danger," Pam Wilson, executive director of Firewise of Southwest Colorado, said Monday. "The cheat grass is already brown, and Gambel oak at lower elevations is starting to dry out."
Butch Knowlton, director of emergency services for La Plata County, said Monday that all agencies involved in fire prevention and suppression are monitoring conditions.
"If we don't get precipitation very soon, we'll be moving to fire restrictions in the next few days," Knowlton said. "It's an incremental process."
Stage 1 restrictions would include placing limits on outdoor burning, Knowlton said.
The Durango dispatch center has responded to 44 small fires since the season began and five this week.
The Assayii Lake Fire was burning about 6 miles from Naschitti, a rural community whose residents live in homes scattered throughout the hills surrounding the tribal chapter house.
Tribal police were working to notify residents, while area radio stations issued alerts and chapter employees spread word of the approaching fire through social media.
"We're at the first stage of letting the community members know," said Carol Edison, who was manning the phones at the chapter house.
Edison said the wind was howling, and the plume of smoke was hanging right above the community.
Authorities also were warning ranchers and others to stay out of the area because the fire's behavior was so erratic. They said treetops have been torching, and spotting has been reported ahead of the blaze.
Because of the unfavorable weather, crews were scouting the area for locations where they could build fire lines without being in the direct path of the flames.
The Assayii Lake Fire was believed to be human-caused, but authorities said the investigation is ongoing.

You are looking at old version of document, for JBoss AS 7.1 please see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7
Class loading in AS7 is considerably different to previous versions of JBoss AS. Class loading is based on the JBoss Modules project. Instead of the more familiar hierarchical class loading environment, AS7's class loading is based on modules that have to define explicit dependencies on other modules. Deployments in AS7 are also modules, and do not have access to classes that are defined in jars in the application server unless an explicit dependency on those classes is defined.
Deployment Module Names
Module names for top level deployments follow the format deployment.myarchive.war while sub deployments are named like deployment.myear.ear.mywar.war.
This means that it is possible for a deployment to import classes from another deployment using the other deployments module name, the details of how to add an explicit module dependency are explained below.
Automatic Dependencies
Even though in AS7 modules are isolated by default, as part of the deployment process some dependencies on modules defined by the application server are set up for you automatically. For instance, if you are deploying a Java EE application a dependency on the Java EE API's will be added to your module automatically. Similarly if your module contains a beans.xml file a dependency on Weld will be added automatically, along with any supporting modules that weld needs to operate.
For a complete list of the automatic dependencies that are added see this page.
Automatic dependencies can be excluded through the use of jboss-deployment-structure.xml.
Class Loading Precedence
A common source of errors in Java applications is including API classes in a deployment that are also provided by the container. This can result in multiple versions of the class being created and the deployment failing to deploy properly. To prevent this in AS7, module dependencies are added in a specific order that should prevent this situation from occurring.
In order of highest priority to lowest priority
- System Dependencies - These are dependencies that are added to the module automatically by the container, including the Java EE api's.
- User Dependencies - These are dependencies that are added through jboss-deployment-structure.xml or through the Dependencies: manifest entry.
- Local Resource - Class files packaged up inside the deployment itself, e.g. class files from WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib of a war.
- Inter deployment dependencies - These are dependencies on other deployments in an ear deployment. This can include classes in an ear's lib directory, or classes defined in other ejb jars.
WAR Class Loading
The war is considered to be a single module, so classes defined in WEB-INF/lib are treated the same as classes in WEB-INF/classes. All classes packaged in the war will be loaded with the same class loader.
EAR Class Loading
Ear deployments are multi-module deployments. This means that not all classes inside an ear will necessarily have access to all other classes in the ear, unless explicit dependencies have been defined. By default the EAR/lib directory is a single module, and every WAR or EJB jar deployment is also a separate module. Sub deployments (wars and ejb-jars) always have a dependency on the parent module, which gives them access to classes in EAR/lib, however they do not always have an automatic dependency on each other. This behaviour is controlled via the ear-subdeployments-isolated setting in the ee subsystem configuration:
By default this is set to false, which allows the sub-deployments to see classes belonging to other sub-deployments within the .ear.
For example, consider the following .ear deployment:
If the ear-subdeployments-isolated is set to false, then the classes in web.war can access classes belonging to ejb1.jar and ejb2.jar. Similarly, classes from ejb1.jar can access classes from ejb2.jar (and vice-versa).
|The ear-subdeployments-isolated element value has no effect on the isolated classloader of the .war file(s). i.e. irrespective of whether this flag is set to true or false, the .war within a .ear will have an isolated classloader and other sub-deployments within that .ear will not be able to access classes from that .war. This is as per spec.
If the ear-subdeployments-isolated is set to true then no automatic module dependencies between the sub-deployments are set up. User must manually setup the dependency with Class-Path entries, or by setting up explicit module dependencies.
The Java EE specification says that portable applications should not rely on sub deployments having access to other sub deployments unless an explicit Class-Path entry is set in the MANIFEST.MF. So portable applications should always use Class-Path entry to explicitly state their dependencies.
|It is also possible to override the ear-subdeployments-isolated element value at a per deployment level. See the section on jboss-deployment-structure.xml below.
Dependencies: Manifest Entries
Deployments (or more correctly modules within a deployment) may set up dependencies on other modules by adding a Dependencies: manifest entry. This entry consists of a comma separated list of module names that the deployment requires. The available modules can be seen under the modules directory in the application server distribution. For example to add a dependency on javassist and apache velocity you can add a manifest entry as follows:
Dependencies: org.javassist export,org.apache.velocity export services,org.antlr
Each dependency entry may also specify some of the following parameters by adding them after the module name:
- export This means that the dependencies will be exported, so any module that depends on this module will also get access to the dependency.
- services By default items in META-INF of a dependency are not accessible, this makes items from META-INF/services accessible so services in the modules can be loaded.
- optional If this is specified the deployment will not fail if the module is not available.
- annotations If a jandex index has be created for the module these annotations will be merged into the deployments annotation index. The Jandex index can be generated using the Jandex ant task , and must be named META-INF/jandex.idx. Note that it is not necessary to break open the jar being indexed to add this to the modules class path, a better approach is to create a jar containing just this index, and adding it as an additional resource root in the module.xml file.
|Adding a dependency to all modules in an EAR
Using the export parameter it is possible to add a dependency to all sub deployments in an ear. If a module is exported from a Dependencies: entry in the top level of the ear (or by a jar in the ear/lib directory) it will be available to all sub deployments as well.
|To generate a MANIFEST.MF entry when using maven put the following in your pom.xml:
If your deployment is a jar you must use the maven-jar-plugin rather than the maven-war-plugin.
Class Path Entries
It is also possible to add module dependencies on other modules inside the deployment using the Class-Path manifest entry. This can be used within an ear to set up dependencies between sub deployments, and also to allow modules access to additional jars deployed in an ear that are not sub deployments and are not in the EAR/lib directory. If a jar in the EAR/lib directory references a jar via Class-Path: then this additional jar is merged into the parent ear's module, and is accessible to all sub deployments in the ear.
Global Modules
It is also possible to set up global modules, that are accessible to all deployments. This is done by modifying the configuration file (standalone/domain.xml).
For example, to add javassist to all deployments you can use the following XML:
Note that the slot field is optional and defaults to main.
JBoss Deployment Structure File
jboss-deployment-structure.xml is a JBoss specific deployment descriptor that can be used to control class loading in a fine grained manner. It should be placed in the top level deployment, in META-INF (or WEB-INF for web deployments). It can do the following:
- Prevent automatic dependencies from being added
- Add additional dependencies
- Define additional modules
- Change an EAR deployments isolated class loading behaviour
- Add additional resource roots to a module
|Exclude Subsystem Dependency
To exclude subsystem within a module, you will will want to exclude the entire module and then add back in each of the subsystems that make the module minus the subsystem that needs to be excluded.
e.g. exclude javax.ws.rs.api from javaee.api module
An example of a complete jboss-deployment-structure.xml file for an ear deployment is as follows:
|The xsd for jboss-deployment-structure.xml is available at http://www.jboss.org/schema/jbossas/jboss-deployment-structure-1_0.xsd
Dec 05, 2011
Please include some info/note about -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs, it is hidden inside "Hacking on AS7" - usage of JProfiler)
Dec 16, 2011
It will be helpful to have an example indicating how to specify dependencies across multiple deployments.
For example an EAR deployed share some of the EJBs from another EAR deployed within the same container.
If I have an EAR which is essentially a library(a set of generic EJBs and Webservices shared between several other applications), is it possible to install it as a separate module ? Will those EJBs still be deployed ? Will it continue to provide a web-context for accessing web services ?
Mar 08, 2012
Please give some code,such as web.xml,pom.xml and jboss-deployment-structure.xml.By these code,we will know it better,I think.

How about the jar deployment class loading? how can a class load jars inside the jar deployment. such as
it seems a don't know b in AS 7.
Mar 22, 2012
This is a bug for AS 7 so far, but it has a workaround.
Mar 29, 2013
The above example XML fails to launch in EAP 6. I'm getting the following error
Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Received non-all-whitespace CHARACTERS or CDATA event in nextTag().

I built my own jboss-deployment-structure.xml using the XSD as reference, but I kept getting this error (which in my past experience comes from an XML not conforming to the expected schema), so I loaded up just the example above (not caring about anything past parsing) and I still get there error. Is this a problem with EAP6?
Jun 05, 2014
In our application we've an jboss-deployment-structure.xml file deployed within the EAR file which disables Weld. Thats how it is and because im not allowed to remove it i've to find a workaround.
Within my EAR file i want to deploy a WAR file which should be able to use CDI. How to enable Weld/CDI for this specific WAR file? I've allready tried to put a jboss-deployment-structure.xml inside the WAR file, but it seems to be irrelevant for JBoss.
Jul 30, 2015
All other server companies bringing easy deployment . Jboss is the only server which bringing more complications in new server releases.
Feb 01, 2017
I am FINALLY upgrading from JBoss 5.x to JBoss EAP 7.x. In JBoss 5, I had an myapp.ear and an executable data.jar - both in the deploy directory. The classes in the ear call/reference classes from the jar. I can get the executable jar to deploy in 7.x, but when I add the ear, the ear doesn't deploy because of a ClassNotFoundException for a class from the jar. I cannot find an example of how to properly deploy both of these items in AS7 and enable the ear to see the jar's classes.

JetBlue plans Boston-Philadelphia flights starting in the spring
JetBlue Airways announced Thursday the launch of nonstop service between Boston's Logan International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.
Five daily flights will begin on May 23, said JetBlue, adding that Philadelphia will be its 47th nonstop destination out of Boston.
In February, a Globe story noted that round-trip airfare between Boston and Philadelphia was doubling after Southwest Airlines discontinued its service between Boston and Philadelphia. Southwest Airlines' decision left US Airways as the only carrier flying nonstop between the two cities.
Some details about JetBlue's planned schedule for the Boston-Philadelphia route are included in this JetBlue press release.
Meanwhile, JetBlue said it has added an average of five new destinations per year from Boston since JetBlue service launched in 2004; JetBlue added that it now serves more cities than any other airline in Logan's entire history as an airport. In the past year alone, JetBlue said it has added nonstop service from Boston to Dallas; Grand Cayman; St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands; and Nantucket, with plans to serve Charleston, S.C. in early 2013.

Blacks in South urged to enroll in health care plans
Community groups and civil rights organizations are scrambling to sign up African Americans for health insurance, particularly in the South, ahead of a March 31 enrollment deadline.
WASHINGTON — Betty Cooper and other volunteers in Monroe, La., are dropping off fliers at housing developments, sticking them in students' backpacks and delivering them to area churches.
The fliers, featuring a smiling African-American family, invite people to Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church each Saturday this month to learn more about the Affordable Care Act — and hopefully to enroll in a health insurance plan.
It's all part of a determined effort by community groups, churches and civil rights organizations — particularly in the South — to sign up more African Americans for health care under the federal law ahead of the March 31 enrollment deadline.
"When you read the statistics about health, the health picture of black Americans is most dire,'' said Cooper, head of Organizing for Action in northeast Louisiana, a nonprofit group that advocates for President Obama's agenda. "There is an extra effort ... to help many more to enroll."
STORY: People may keep old health insurance another year
STORY: Experts say Affordable Care Act unlikely to 'fail'
Federal health officials also are working to enroll more minorities in health care under the Affordable Care Act, buying ad time in media markets with large black audiences and broadcasting their message through Facebook and Twitter.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius participated in a Google Hangout with the NAACP in February.
"With just over a month of open enrollment left, our top priority is reaching every American who needs access to quality, affordable insurance to help them sign up,'' said Valerie Jarrett, a White House senior adviser, in a teleconference with black mayors. "We still have hard work left to do.''
Obama will participate in a town hall in Washington on Thursday targeting Hispanics. First lady Michelle Obama also talked about health issues on BET Networks' Leading Women Defined Summit on Wednesday.
More than 4 million people have enrolled in health insurance under the Affordable Care Act since Oct. 1. Federal health officials have not yet released racial breakdowns. Health experts say minorities historically have had disproportionately low rates of coverage.
Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, Calif., and president of the National Conference of Black Mayors, said the conference launched an outreach initiative last August to educate people about the Affordable Care Act and boost enrollment.
"We recognize the importance of (the health care law),'' Johnson told reporters in a conference call. "We know our outreach efforts could make a huge difference.''
The focus on the South stems from the region's large population of blacks and uninsured.
Eight of the 10 states with the largest increases in health insurance enrollment from December to January were in the South, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Mississippi topped the list, followed by Florida and Louisiana.
Several Southern states opted not to run their own online health insurance exchange under the 2010 law and instead relied on the federal exchange, HealthCare.gov, which was plagued with problems in its early months.
Given those problems, "it's likely that there's still some pent-up demands for people needing and waiting to enroll,'' said Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Mayors throughout Mississippi are hosting events this month to also encourage their mostly black constituents to enroll in a plan under the Affordable Care Act.
"We've seen some of our best turnout when we work with locally elected officials," said Jarvis Dortch, program manager for the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program. "They know the people in their communities and they know how to get those people out."
In Memphis, Tenn., officials are turning to religious leaders and church workers to help explain the law and promote enrollment, said the city's mayor, AC Wharton.
"They have a lot of credibility,'' Wharton said. When people are skeptical of government, "the faith community can really play a pivotal role,'' he said.
In northeast Louisiana, Cooper said she has repeatedly turned to churches.
"Historically, the back churches were just what we counted on,'' she said.
Navigators for a Healthy Louisiana, formed to help state residents learn about insurance options under the 2010 law, is working with historically black colleges to boost enrollment. Southern University in Baton Rouge and Shreveport will host events every Saturday this month.
"Typically, college students are very tech-savvy,'' said Brian Burton, state director for Navigators for a Healthy Louisiana. "They can take enough information from a seminar and be able to go online and enroll on their own.''
The effort to boost enrollment among African-Americans faces challenges. Some potential enrollees don't trust the government, while others simply don't understand the health care law, health care advocates say.
"It's the newness of it,'' said Dortch with the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program.
He said some people question the low premiums offered by some plans on HealthCare.gov.
"They want to know if this is real insurance," he said. "There's a lot of misinformation about the ACA in Mississippi, and a lot of people don't understand how the law works."
Another challenge is that, compared to states running their own online health insurance marketplaces, the South received fewer resources for outreach efforts, including health care navigators to explain the law.
Opposition to the Affordable Care Act — and to expanding Medicaid under the law — also has been particularly fierce in the South.
"The challenges to do outreach and enrollment are greater in some of these southern states because of a whole host of factors,'' said Tolbert at the Kaiser Family Foundation. "It's definitely harder.''
As of Feb. 1, only 5.8% of potential enrollees in Mississippi had signed up for an insurance plan on HealthCare.gov, Tolbert said.
"There's still a long way to go,'' she said. "It really is about redoubling efforts and getting out into the communities.''
For three days last month, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi visited locations in the Mississippi Delta urging black constituents to sign up for insurance. Thompson teamed with churches, the NAACP, health advocacy groups and community health centers to enroll more than 17,000 Mississippians by the end of January.
"Health insurance enrollment can be a difficult process and I wanted to help make it a simple process,'' said Thompson. "There is no substitute for face-to-face contact.''

Trade offs: air conditioning or service contract or both? Without a good cool air source (colder than ambient temp), the service contract becomes almost mandatory. If you can engineer great ventilation with lots of cooler air entering the farm, you might be able to skate on both air conditioning and service contracts. Change the room air 2 to 4 times per hour or keep ambient room air from exceeding 90 F. with reasonable good circulation around the systems. Sometimes a good, easily opened sky light with a good sized exhaust fan will solve a world of circulation problems. Paying attention to the original heat load generation will save huge amounts of expense. Often overlooked: extra large CPU power supplies run cooler. If standard power supplies run warm to the touch (100 F. +), upgrading to 50 % larger will reduce heat loads (300 watt upgraded to 450 watt supply). A CPU that only needs 200 watts will only consume that 200 watts, no matter the size of the supply ... and a 300 watt supply "stressed" to 60% of rated load will run warm, but a 450 watt supply running at 45% of rated duty will not produce nearly as much heat ... and the larger will last longer. (Alternative below) Sometimes overlooked: larger, older monitors run warmer than small ones or cheap flat screen LCD monitors. (Big monitors are needed only to sell the next round of grant refinancing. :>) Not to be ignored: Larger gauge power wires are cooler. This may seem like micromanagement, but 32 systems feed by 32 sets of #16 gauge plug strips and power lines will also generate some heat. Spending 10% more for fewer #12 gauge power feeds might save enough to be important. Healthier power / surge strips, larger circuit breakers = same, same. > In response to RGB's request for more information: Here are my > budgetary constraints and my needs > > Budget ~US $25K, with the possibility of $5K ... My > simulations ... require in excess of 512 MB of memory ... ideally > twice that amount. ... should go for gigabit ethernet. Yes ... 32 CPUs w/ 512K RAM plus several flat screen monitors.

Unlike with the 5200 and 7800, Atari was actually able to convince many third-party companies to produce software for the Jaguar. There are a good number of companies developing Jaguar titles that were then published by a smaller number of companies. We've listed the publishers on AtariAge as the company producing the title, but have included the name of the developer on the profile page for each game. Atari by far was the largest publisher of Jaguar games, followed by Telegames. There are many companies that only released a very small number of titles. Had the Jaguar been successful, many more third-party titles would have been released. We can only imagine how many Jaguar prototypes are out there floating around.
The rarity scale is a general indicator of how easy or difficult it is to come across a game. The scale starts at 1 (very easy to find) and finishes at 10 (nearly impossible to locate). Thanks to auction sites such as eBay, even extremely rare games come up for auction frequently enough, but these often command a fairly high price depending on the rarity. If you have any comments about the listing of a title or its rarity, please post them to the Rarity Guide Message Board.

San Francisco couple contracts brain-invading parasite on Hawaiian honeymoon
A brain-invading parasite infected Eliza Lape and her husband on their impromptu Hawaii honeymoon, but she still calls the trip "two weeks in paradise."
The San Francisco couple took a trip to Maui in January and spontaneously eloped during the middle of their house exchange in Hana, Lape said.
They also contracted rat lungworm disease, an illness in which larvae passed to snails through rodent feces migrate to a host human's brains or lungs.
"I felt initially like I wanted to crawl out of my body — stabbing pains in different parts of my body that would move," Lape, now nearly recovered from the infection, said Tuesday. "Ben, my husband — his first symptoms were also this feeling of restlessness. He got terrible pain in his shoulders and elbows."
The newlyweds, who got married Jan. 10, contracted the disease amid an uptick of cases in Maui.
"Over the last three months, the Hawaii State Department of Health has been investigating a cluster of rat lungworm cases on Maui Island," said spokeswoman Janice Okubo. This year, six cases have been confirmed on Maui, and three on the Big Island of Hawaii, she added in an email.
Lape's husband, Ben Manilla, a Peabody Award-winning professor at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, contracted a harsher form of the disease, she said.
Although Lape, 57, will return to her communications consulting job next week, her 64-year-old husband will continue physical therapy for help walking and using his hands, she said.
"They miss him terribly," Lape said of Manilla's students. "And he misses them. He really misses work."
When they first returned from vacation on Jan. 16, they both went back to work, assuming they had a bad flu. But soon, Lape said, Manilla found he couldn't use his pen to write on the whiteboard during his classes.
A week and a half after their return, an infectious disease specialist at UCSF diagnosed them, she said. The disease generally resolves itself, with no real cure apart from waiting for the worms to die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But complications stemming from the disease can be deadly.
Manilla was hospitalized in February, with a month in intensive care, and operations, bouts of pneumonia, kidney problems and a blood clot, Lape said.
The disease is generally contracted through eating raw or undercooked snails or slugs or contaminated vegetables in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Basin.
The couple do not know how they contracted the disease, Lape said, noting the abundance of fresh fruit stands they shopped at on the island.
"In the U.S., we often think we're impervious to these kinds of things," Lape said. "Who could think you could end up eating a vegetable or eating a piece of slug and end up with worms on your brain?"

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard sophomore pitcher Brent Suter and junior shortstop Sean O'Hara highlighted a group of four baseball players named to the 2010 All-Ivy League teams in an announcement released Monday.
Suter and O'Hara were named to the first team while juniors Tyler Albright and Dillon O'Neill earned honorable mention selections.
Suter, one of just two pitchers named to the first team, was electric in league play. The lefty went 4-0 (league best) with one save with a 3.55 ERA and a league-leading 33 strikeouts in 33.0 innings while walking just seven batters. Suter was virtually untouchable against left-handed batters, who went just 2-for-24 (0.83 against him). All told, Suter posted a 4-2 record with a 5.26 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 49.2 innings against 14 walks.
O'Hara was equally impressive in Ivy games as he ranked second in league batting average with a .443 average with 13 extra base hits and 15 runs batted in during 20 games. His on-base-percentage of .513 also ranked second. For the season, O'Hara ranked second on the Crimson with a .342 batting average while posting a team-best .405 OBP. His 16 doubles were part of a 20 extra base hit campaign that also led the team to go with a .510 slugging percentage with 26 RBI.
Albright played virtually the entire season with a fractured thumb on his glove hand but still made noise offensively. He was one of just six players to hit .400 in league play, hitting the mark exactly while posting a .493 on-base-percentage to rank fourth in the league. He earned seven walks and was hit by six pitches while striking out just three times in 19 games. Albright batted .426 against righties in league play and was at his best in clutch situations with a .524 average with runners in scoring position (11-for-21). He drove in 15 runs during league play and led the team with 30 RBI for the season while batting .321 overall with nine doubles.
O'Neill recovered from a slow start to post a .295 average in Ivy play while leading the Ancient Eight with nine stolen bases. For the season, he swiped 16 bases in 18 attempts while collecting a team-high three triples.
Harvard finished tied for second place in the Red Rolfe Division at 10-10 – a record that also tied for the league's third-best record. Harvard ranked fourth offensively in the league with a .330 batting average during Ivy games despite fielding a team with just three seniors. Overall, Harvard posted a 17-26 record with highlight wins coming against Notre Dame, Stetson and Creighton.

A promise on the verge of collapse
President Barack Obama has made two promises: The United States would help save thousands of refugees on a mountainside, and no U.S. ground troops would return to Iraq.
Keeping both is going to be difficult.
Story Continued Below
About 40,000 members of Iraq's Yazidi religious minority have fled up the side of Mount Sinjar, in the rugged northwest of Iraq, to escape what Obama called a potential "genocide" at the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Obama and his allies are feeling the pressure to do something to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe. But as has been the case all along with the Iraq crisis, there is no quick and easy solution.
If the president were to send in American special operators or airborne troops to help with an evacuation, he'd risk breaking his promise, endure the political blowback from potential casualties and be guilty of the very "mission creep" that critics have warned about.
( Also on POLITICO: Statement by President Obama on Iraq)
And if he opts to step up support to Iraqi or Kurdish ground troops for a rescue effort, there's no telling when they'd be ready, whether they could battle back ISIL or whether they could keep it at bay long enough to get the Yazidis to safety.
Obama has acknowledged he does not have an answer beyond the current Air Force effort to resupply the Yazidis with airdrops of food and water and the use of drones and Navy fighters to force ISIL to keep its distance.
"We feel confident that we can prevent ISIL from going up a mountain and slaughtering the people who are there," Obama said at the White House on Saturday before heading off on vacation in Martha's Vineyard. "But the next step, which is going to be complicated logistically, is how do we give safe passage for people down from the mountain, and where can we ultimately relocate them so that they are safe?"
The White House and the Pentagon did not have any responses on Sunday. Officials declined to detail options under consideration or describe potential operations before they'd taken place.
The president is trying to preserve his own foreign policy outlook — using "limited" military action to prevent a potential genocide — but without committing himself so much as to risk his defining promise to keep American boots off the ground in Iraq.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: No time limit on Iraq action)
Skeptics wonder whether it's possible to keep walking this tightrope.
"I keep seeing people on TV talking about 'mission creep,' but I think the real problem is mission shrink," said retired Army Lt. Gen. James Dubik, an experienced Iraq War commander who's now a senior fellow with the Institute for the Study of War.
( Also on POLITICO: The Obama doctrine?)
The crisis on Iraq's Mount Sinjar is a symptom of the larger loss of security across Iraq and Syria, Dubik told POLITICO, and unless the U.S. begins to treat the larger problem, humanitarian nightmares around that country will persist. If American troops can't go in, Obama needs to mount a serious effort to arm and support the Kurdish peshmerga or the Iraqi Security Forces, Dubik said.
"As long as the only two missions are providing humanitarian assistance and protection … I think he basically has tied the hands of any help to the peshmerga or ISF to help the Yazidis in some serious way," Dubik said.
For his own part, Dubik said he would oppose sending an American unit such as an Army Ranger battalion to try to help evacuate the Yazidis, anyway. There are too many risks and unknowns, he warned, and sustaining the American troop presence would only complicate the Air Force's efforts to resupply the Yazidis from the air.
A few American special operators could accompany Kurdish or Iraqi relief troops, Dubik said, to coordinate air support and assist with the overall operations, but Iraqi ground forces should be the ones to relieve the Yazidis.

Judge backs California high-speed rail over farmers
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A judge denied a request Friday from Central Valley farmers who sought to halt work on California's ambitious high-speed rail project.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley denied a request for a preliminary injunction.
Groups representing Central Valley farmers claim that the California High-Speed Rail Authority should have to halt all planning and engineering work on the $68 billion project because the state violated environmental laws.
The judge ruled that "the authority acted reasonably and in good faith" in considering the project's impact.
The rail authority's chairman, Dan Richard, applauded the decision.
"Both the voters and the Legislature have spoken on high-speed rail," he said in a statement. "The Judge's decision ensures that we can continue to move forward with our preparatory work to build the first segment of high-speed rail in the Central Valley, with a plan to break ground next summer."
The initial section will be a 65-mile segment running from Merced to Fresno, in the heart of California's agricultural industry.
In making his ruling Friday, the judge acknowledged that California laws require an understanding of a project's harm to the environment. Yet he said he did not feel there was sufficient reason to grant farmers a preliminary injunction.
The rail authority argued in court that the potential harm to the state for halting the massive transportation project was far greater than the objections of Central Valley farmers and landowners.
The authority said the state could risk up to $3.2 billion if construction of the bullet train did not meet federal deadlines. A delay could cost as much as $8 million to $10 million in additional construction costs.

Google's bid to acquire Motorola Mobility is a brilliant move that will stave off Android's patent attackers. Or it's act of desperation that will force Android phone makers to adopt rival platforms. Or it was simply something that Google had to do, for better or worse.
On what would normally be a slow August week in technology, Google sent tech pundits into a tizzy by announcing that it will acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in cash. Everyone's got an opinion on the deal, even if they don't quite know what to make of it. Here's what the experts and pundits are saying:
The patent question
Google CEO Larry Page said Motorola's patent portfolio was a big reason for the acquisition. Google's operating system faces patent assaults from Apple and Microsoft, and Motorola's portfolio of at least 17,000 patents gives Google some ammo to fight back on behalf of all Android phone makers.
But Florian Meuller at FOSS Patents wonders whether Android will really be protected by Motorola's patents. He points out that Apple and Microsoft both have ongoing patent lawsuits against Motorola, so Google's patent issues won't simply go away. This could create a messy situation if Microsoft and Apple's lawsuits against Motorola play out before Google's acquisition goes through. Google, he said, could end up acquiring a company that is already enjoined from importing phones into the United States.
Still, Motorola's massive portfolio may serve as a bargaining chip for platform-wide licensing agreements. As Nilay Patel notes, Google will have to negotiate on a few fronts: Motorola vs. Apple, Microsoft vs. Motorola and Oracle vs. Google. "The end goal for Google in each case will be to acquire a broad patent license that covers the entire Android ecosystem and then indemnify all of its partners against further patent lawsuits, which could be quite challenging - and potentially quite expensive," Patel writes.
The bet-hedgers
TechCrunch's MG Siegler explains that other phone makers support the Google-Motorola deal in public statements, many of them using the phrase "defending Android." But those phone makers must also know that Motorola could see preferential treatment from Google for future handsets. (Android will remain open, Google says, and phone makers will be able to bid on developing future Nexus phones.) The acquisition could prompt other phone makers to make better hardware, or it could motivate them to adopt other platforms like Windows Phone. As my colleague Daniel Ionescu put it, this could be the start of Android's rebirth, or its demise.
There's a recurring theme of the unknown in much of the Google-Motorola analysis, summed up neatly by Siegler: "Google's acquisition of Motorola today either just saved Android or subverted it," he wrote. "It was either brilliant, or really, really stupid. Unfortunately, the truth is that we simply won't know the answer for a while."
The fringe theories
Most pundits agree that the acquisition is big news for Windows Mobile, which is the only other major mobile OS that's available for phone makers to license. But what about the other mobile platforms on the market?
Business Insider's Matt Rosoff thinks it's time for HP to start licensing WebOS: "The only way WebOS will survive is if HP licenses it to the big handset makers who are suddenly stuck between Microsoft-Nokia and Google-Motorola," he writes. (HP has said that it's open to the idea.)
Meanwhile, Research in Motion is in trouble, independent wireless analyst Chetan Sharma told Bloomberg. The company is too small to compete with Google, Microsoft and their respective new hardware partners, and is running out of acquisition options. "They are in no man's land at this point," Sharma said.
And while much of the punditry has focused on phones and tablets, GigaOM's Ryan Lawler and Ryan Kim think Motorola acquisition is big news for Google TV. After all, Motorola Mobility makes TV set-top boxes -- like the kind loaned by cable companies and telcos -- so we could see companies like Comcast integrating Google TV with their set-top units. "By leveraging Motorola's position with carriers, Google can better solidify its bid to expand Google TV and Android into the living room," they write.
Good old bickering
What spirited debate is complete without one pundit trashing another? For this, see Dan Lyons' article, entitled "Suck on it, AppleSoft - Google pulls a rope-a-dope." Then read John Gruber's takedown, simply entitled "Balls."
A quick except from Gruber's piece: "Lyons has always been an ass, but when did he get so bitter?"
