Hi,

I am learning Liferay with book "Liferay in Action".
I made a service.xml file and put it in web-inf folder of a portlet project according to steps introduced in the section 3.3 "Generating DB code with Service Builder" of the book.
right-click the service.xml, in the poped menu, I click Liferay->Build service item to running Service Builder. However, the following errors are shown

[Console output redirected to file:C:\liferay\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.liferay.ide.eclipse.sdk\sdk.log]
Buildfile: C:\liferay\plugins\liferay-plugins-sdk\portlets\product-registration-portlet\build.xml
build-service:
Java Result: 1
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heapError: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

BUILD FAILED
C:\liferay\plugins\liferay-plugins-sdk\build-common-plugin.xml:207: Service Builder generated exceptions.

Total time: 1 second


clicking the button “Run->Run configuration", "VM arguments" show setting of VM
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\liferay\bundles\tomcat-6.0.29\endorsed" -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Could you please give me some helps ?
Thanks

SDK ，change the file build-common-plugin.xml from
<jvmarg value="-Xms512m" />
<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024m" />
to
<jvmarg value="-Xms128m" />
<jvmarg value="-Xmx512m" />
祝你好运！

Can you post your entire console log with the whole exception stack trace?

The Error shown in console of Liferay IDE are

[Console output redirected to file:C:\liferay\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.liferay.ide.eclipse.sdk\sdk.log]
Buildfile: C:\liferay\plugins\liferay-plugins-sdk\portlets\product-registration-portlet\build.xml
build-service:
Java Result: 1
Error occurred during initialization of VM

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

BUILD FAILED
C:\liferay\plugins\liferay-plugins-sdk\build-common-plugin.xml:207: Service Builder generated exceptions.

Total time: 1 second

clicking the Error message in "Log view" in Liferay IDE, the textarea of Exception Stack Trace show that "An exception stack trace is not available."

Thanks a lot!

I modify the build-commons-plugin.xml according to your suggestion.
The error message did not show. However the progress of building services is in a endless waiting!
There is no change in progress bar of build service dialog.

If you have a lot of entities in your service.xml file, it will take awhile for service builder to run.

Progress bar does not get updated because it is a single process that is running and that process is not communicating w/ the IDE.

For example, I have 75 entities defined and have custom methods in most of my XxxLocalServiceImpl classes.

On my desktop (times will vary depending upon your hardware), it was taking almost 8 minutes to run service builder. I was able to chop that time down to less than 3 minutes by disabling virus scanning and the windows search service.

Eventually Service Builder should complete, though, you just have to be patient.

You just need a fast computer with a lot of memory. Recommend core i7 with at least 4 GB memory using linux is recommended. Windows tends to be slower and was getting out of memory error on 32 bit.

During the wait time, answer questions here. :-)

I only define one table in sevice.xml. However, after one night waiting there are 188 tables generated in my database except the defined table “PRProduct”.

service.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE service-builder PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Service Builder 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-service-builder_6_0_0.dtd">
<service-builder
package-path="com.inkwell.internet.productregistration">
<author>qjt</author>
<namespace>PR</namespace>

<entity name="PRProduct" local-service="true" remote-service="false">
<column name="productId" type="long" primary="true" />
<column name="productName" type="String" />
<column name="serialNumber" type="String" />
<column name="companyId" type="long" />
<column name="groupId" type="long" />
<order by="asc">
<order-column name="productName" />
</order>
<finder name="G_PN" return-type="Collection">
<finder-column name="groupId" />
<finder-column name="productName" />
</finder>

<finder name="GroupId" return-type="Collection">
<finder-column name="groupId" />
</finder>
<finder name="CompanyId" return-type="Collection">
<finder-column name="companyId" />
</finder>
</entity>
</service-builder>


In addition, why is decreasing Xmx value a correct operation?

Do you mean there are 188 liferay tables or that building a new service created additional 188 tables? What are the name of some of the tables?

I don't see anything wrong with your service.xml file, but I'm betting you have environmental problems (properties not set up correctly in the SDK dir and/or others).



If you specify a value that is too big, the JVM cannot get the memory at startup and you end up with the failure you reported.

Decreasing the values gets you to a memory allocation that works for your local configuration.

Please note that you didn't mention what JDK you're using - if it is anything besides the oracle 6 JDK, you're using the wrong one.

Those are just liferay's default tables. Where are you defining your service.xml? In your custom portlet?

I created a portlet project in Liferay IDE, and then puting service.xml in docroot->WEB-INF folder.
Right-click the service.xml file, in the poped menu, I choose Liferay->build service command

Open up a command console and go to the portlet directory in liferay sdk. Try executing ant build-service and see if you get any errors.

Although replaced JDK 7 with JDK 1.6, the problems remain unresolved.
I also install the liferay developer studio, and then building service in the studio. Everything went to be all right except that fail to find PRProduct table in database.
Why？

Problems have been solved.
I intalled Liferay Portal with 6.0 version, but plugin SDK with 6.1 version.
Having reinstalled plugin SDK with 6.0 version, everything is all right.

Nice to hear that you've got is resolved. Should have asked you about the versions because this is one of the major cause of problem during a build.

As an addition, there seems to be some difference between CE and EE version as well because liferay's revisions are different. You've mentioned using Studio so I assume you have an EE version, so recommend to obtain EE version of SDK if it's available.

Thank Hitoshi
I am newbie to Liferay, learning hard at it.

SDK ，change the file build-common-plugin.xml from
<jvmarg value="-Xms512m" />
<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024m" />
to
<jvmarg value="-Xms128m" />
<jvmarg value="-Xmx512m" />



THis helped me...

if your problem of exception in building a service is not resolved then restart your computer after that build service ......

Hey Sunny,
your post have saved my lot of time .. thanks. I was getting same error which I fixed,by changing the value of <jvmarg /> in build-common-plugin.xml. I have attached the Error file for others reference. I am using liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2. It might other people get the solution....
