Refresh bundle JSP for Websphere commerce 8

As we do in general practice to hit refreshBundles.jsp to clear out resource bundle cache without restarting the server. Recently, I figured out that it no more works with IBM 8 and throws error message like "no such method exists: cache"

Actually, the field "cache" is now replaced with "cacheList". Moreover, its type is now ConcurrentHashMap instead of WeakHashMap.

Change the Java logic of your JSP as below:


<%
Class klass =
     Class.forName("java.util.PropertyResourceBundle").getSuperclass();
Field field = klass.getDeclaredField("cacheList");

//Test block check for all the declared fields. Comment out the loop below.
for (Field classField : klass.getDeclaredFields()) {
System.out.println(classField.getName());
}

field.setAccessible(true);

ConcurrentHashMap cache = (ConcurrentHashMap)field.get(null);
cache.clear();

field.setAccessible(false);
%>

File Upload in Websphere Commerce

Websphere Commerce has a inbuilt mechanism to handle the file upload process but it has some limitations with it. Whenever a File type is present in request object, commerce ignores the rest of parameters coming after that. The inbuilt mechanism treats the file object as UploadedFile type object. This type of object provides a limited number of options to further process the File Objects. To  overcome these limitation, we need to use Apache Common Fileupload features to handle the File Upload process for Hanes. File Upload Basic Requirements In order to pass a File object in request, we need to make some changes in the Form. File Upload is not supported by REST or Ajax REST Requests. Icon Request Parsing The first step is to parse the request for Uploaded File Objects. And apart from this we need to get the other parameters back to request properties, which is not available because of the limitation of commerce. ...
