Help.jsp web app war file (how to exclude resources)

Hi, I am making a jsp/JSF application and now wanted to deploy it on a glassfish server. this is the first time i am deploying so am still learning it as i go.
I wanted to clear out something before i go ahead.
My application has tons of resuorce files (mainly huge Picture and videos) which are roughly the size of 1-2 GB. I do not want to add them to my WAR file. is it possible to exclude the resources from the war file?
How difficult would it be for me to to then link the resources folder to the deployed application?
I am running against time. i need to clear the above out to make a decision.

You may find this servlet example useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html] (specific for images).

Error auto-deploying a Web App (.WAR file)

Hello,
Weblogic 6.1 throws a FileNotFoundException about 10% of the time for me when
auto-deploying a Web app. Has anyone else run into this? I searched the newsgroups
but didn't come up with anything, so I thought I'd start here.
My build/deploy cycle is managed by an Ant build file that creates a WAR file
of my web application and then drops it into $WL_HOME/config/mydomain/applications.
Occasionally when I do this, I get the error shown below. Originally I was building
the WAR file right in the ../applications directory, so I thought that might be
an issue. So, I started building the WAR file in a staging directory and copying
it into ../applications. No luck. Next, I tried deleting the original WAR file
from ../applications, and THEN copying the new one over from the staging directory.
Still fails occasionally.
Let's see. This is Weblogic 6.1 on Win2K. The only other thing is that my dev/build/staging
environment is on a network share, and it's from there that I'm copying the WAR
file to my local machine (where WL is running).
If someone has seen and/or knows what is up with this, great. If not, it's not
a show-stopper.
Thanks!
Cheers,
David

Michael,
This is a problem with 6.1 SP2 also -- a very annoying error. Without auto deploy
working properly, developers are spending alot of time waiting for WebLogic to restart.
HELP!!! we need this fixed.
I see the EXACT same stack trace (ERROR).

Is it possible to import an existing Struts web app WAR file into Workshop?

I browse the documents and tried using the workshop with no avail trying to import
an existing Struts WAR file. If someone know of a way doing this, I would really
appreciate a pointer or so. If this is not possible, please let me know so I will
not end up pulling out all my hair....
TIA

Export the OMF from an audio app like ProTools or Logic as a stereo pair AIFF, then use that with your video. Chop it up if you need to checkerboard.
Of course this will only work if the audio is very simple - overlapping audio will mess you up. If you can figure out the audio app part, you can split up your OMF into separate tracks.
But then if you can't get it into an audio app, you're a bit hosed.

Sharing sessions between web applications (WAR files)

I am using weblogic 6.1. The opinion I have read indicates that
          sessions cannot be shared between WAR files. That is, I cannot put an
          attribute on the session from a servlet/JSP in one WAR file and read
          it out from the other. The only justification I've seen is "security".
          Now, I find this rather difficult to accept for several reasons:
          1. I cannot fathom what kind of "security" would prevent me from
          sharing the session between two web applications that I wrote myself.
          Let's say I want to write a system that I divide up, for
          modularity/separate deployment purposes, into 5 different WAR files.
          Why should I not be able to just sign on once and pass that logon
          information in the session from one to the other? (I know, I can use
          cookies or URL rewriting - but that doesn't seem to be to be a good
          solution. And if you can share information through cookies, why not
          through sessions?) What about other user information like currently
          selected language?
          2. Several app servers (iPlanet and I have heard two others) allow you
          to share sessions between WARs. Why not weblogic?
          Thanks for any information you can give me. I have not been able to
          find anything in weblogic documentation about this. If I am
          misunderstanding the server capabilities, please enlighten me.
          Thanks,

You may need to convert the .war archive to SDA/SCA file format before deploying it to SAP Netweaver Engine.
Check out the below SAP NOTE if it is usefull.
Note 1223957 - Usage of NetWeaver Packaging Tool.
Apart from SDM you can also deploy the files through telnet...
Note 859444 - How to deploy libraries on J2EE Engine 6.40
1)Connect to telnet as below
Start --> Run
telnet hostname/ip address portno
Ex: telnet xxx.xx.xx.x 5<Instance no>08
2)Login with administrator id:
Use the below command to deploy the files.
deploy <directory path to the SDAs location> version_rule=all on_prerequisite_error=stop on_deploy_error=stop
Example: deploy E:\usr\sap\trans\EPS\in\VCBASE03_0-10006939.SCA version_rule=all on_prerequisite_error=stop on_deploy_error=stop.
Also have a look at this note which talks about the error you are getting.
Note 1171457 - IllFormattedSduManifest/SduFileException during deployment
Hope it helps.

Error while running a report JSP in a war file from 9iAS server

Hi,
I've a web application archive file (war) which i m deploying to the web using OEM. The war file consists of many JSPs. Among those JSPs i have one Report JSP, which i m calling from another JSP which is like a parameter form for the report JSP. When i call the report JSP, it gave me the following error,

The report tag in the report JSP is as follows,
<rw:report id="report" parameters="server=repsvr&userid=scott/tiger@db">
The report server is up and running and so is the database. This report JSP was generated from the reports builder and the opened in JDeveloper environment,in the war file project. It was then compiled and a war file was created. Surprisingly this report JSP works fine when i run my webapplication from the embedded OC4J instance for JDeveloper, but when i try to run it from the 9iAS server i get the above mentioned error. The deployment of the war file to the server is successful and the other JSPs work fine, only the reports JSP is not working. Do i need to have some settings for running the reports JSP, please advise.
Thanks in advance

Can you please help me in deploying jdeveloper (9.0.3.1)war file to 9iAS release 1, when I try to run, none of the jsp's execute, I get java OutOf Memory error, I also think that there may be some version compatibility between jdev jdk and 9iAS jdk.

standard structure for war files.

Deploying Java Web Application (WAR-File) into a cluster environment

Hi,
we have a web application which has to read from and write to the file system.
Since a short time we have a cluster environment (2 parallel servers) and since thisa time we have the problem, that files are worked double in the cluster. The application is working on both servers now and so we have this problem.
Does anybody know how we have to deploy the application correctly in a cluster environment or do we have to change anything in our source code of the application?
I didn't find any documentation about this.
At the moment we have deployed the application on one of the two servers only, but I think there must be a better way to solve this problem.
Thanks for your replies.
Regards
Thorsten

Hi,
I think first you need to wrap it into an EAR file, then you can deploy it.

Web app context file in java web server?

I'm being forced to move an application from Tomcat 5.5 to Web Server 6.1. I'm used to putting my app's context information into a context xml file that in Tomcat 5.5 is deployedin in $tomcat_home/conf/Catalina/localhost/. I define my jdbc connection pool there, as well as environment entries for the application. That way I can use the same war file, but run the application with different configuration settings.
It doesn't seem like Web Server 6.1 supports that, or am I missing something in the documentation. I thought the notion of the context file was generic to the servlet container spec even in the 2.3 servlet spec....but maybe that's specific to Tomcat. So now how can I pass environment information to the application?

The SJS webserver does not support context.xml, you are correct.
However, most of the things done in context.xml can be done through other ways.
JDBC conncetion pools are global to the server instance, and are declared in server.xml

The web apps descriptors allow to configure web apps parameters. In SJS webserver there are two descriptors, the standard web.xml, and sun-web.xml.

Regarding passing environment information, what exactly do you have in mind? the web server supports JNDI resource-env-ref, that can be used to pass environment entries to a web-app.
If you have any particulars needs, or more specific questios, feel free to post them here.

PageCheckSeconds (precompile jsp, stored in war file) (Weblogic 6.1)

Hi,
          I'm trying to stop the webserver from trying to recompile/check my jsp pages. I have set the pageCheckSeconds param to -1 but that doesn't seem to work. Looking at the weblogic.log file I get:
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] WorkflowServlet: init>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: init>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param verbose initialized to: true>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param packagePrefix initialized to: jsp_servlet>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param compilerclass initialized to: javac>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param srcCompiler initialized to weblogic.jspc>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param superclass initialized to weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspBase>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param workingDir initialized to: C:\apps\bea\wlserver6.1\config\kces\applications\.wlnotdelete\wlap17684\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_kc_kc_kcs>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: param pageCheckSeconds initialized to: -1>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] *.jsp: initialization complete>
          [WebAppServletContext(601285,kcs,/kcs)] Generated java file: C:\apps\bea\wlserver6.1\config\kces\applications\.wlnotdelete\wlap17684\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_kc_kc_kcs\jsp_servlet\__index.java>
          If I take out the jsp class files from the war file and set the param workingDir (weblogic.xml) to the directory where the jsp class files are located... it works. But now I have a packaging problem that I can easily solve by keeping the jsp class files within the war file. As you can see from the log messages above, the pageCheckSeconds value is set to -1... yet the checking occurred anyway. Is there a way to specify the name of the war file that is located within an EAR file using the workingDir param?
          Thanks

You say: "If I take out the jsp class files from the war file and set the param workingDir (weblogic.xml) to the directory where the jsp class files are located... it works. "
          Did you get this to work in a cluster using admin/managed servers, or just with a single server?

Guide to developing SECURE TOMCAT/JSP web apps - ??

Hi,
It would be very useful to have a checklist or guidelines to ensure a JSP/tomcat web site one develops is secure, in particular for the scenario where the web application is not huge/complex &/or is developed by part-time developers. That is I guess I'm generally asking for the easiest way of ensuring one develops a secure JSP/tomcat app.
Q1 - Does anyone know of a tutorial/checklist for ensuring a JSP/tomcat web app is secure? The types of things I'm thinking of include the following items, which I've put forward as specific questions to the mail group in their own right.
Q2 - How do you ensure directory's under doc root can't be viewed? (ie users see a directory listings)
     - is putting in an index.html in each sub-directory a solid answer?
     - can this be handled in one hit via WEB.XML entries? if so an example if possible?
Above and beyond basic User Authentication checking (eg username/password check at beginning of session) what is an easy but secure way of checking -:
Q3 check that user (ie specific) is allowed to access a specific JSP page? (assuming the web app is a totally JSP based solution, ie no controller servlet frontend, ie and that all JSP pages are effectively assessable under docroot). Easy way of doing this?
     eg (a) put specific check at beginning of each JSP page?
     (b) other?
and
Q4 given that a user is allowed to access that JSP page, check that he is allowed to view the data which he has requested? (ie stop people determining how the URL with parameters is constructed and manually changing the parameters - eg changing "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=3", manually "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=4". Easy way of doing this?
     eg (a) put specific check at beginning of JSP page?
     (b) other
Q5 Is it generally acceptable, given appropriate precautions are taken, to setup a web site with all JSP files assessable under doc root, and that the manner in which the user navigates around the application is based on direct calls from the browser to the next JSP page with parameters? (again one concern I have is eg changing "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=3", manually "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=4"). If this is not acceptable what is recommended?
     (a) as above put a specific check at the beginning of the JSP page
     (b) for example having to specifically put a controller servlet as a front end, and then direct to JSP pages which are hidden?
- in this case how can one hide specific directories under doc root?
     (c) other??
Q6. Regarding image security I assume one really does have to store them outside doc root and develop a small "getImage" servlet so that requests to images can be verified to ensure that (assuming the app lets users load images) the end user can't see another user's image?
Q7. Any other general checklist items for a simple JSP/tomcat web site re security one should check for???
Thanks in Advance
Greg

Have you ever looked at the Jakarta struts framework for developing web apps? You could then incorporate your custom designed security both into your own extension of the controller servlet (check if particular user has access to certain pages / actions). You can also design your own custom tags which determine whether a particular user has access to certain parts of the page. You cal also perform additional checks in the actions, to ensure that the user does have access to certain actions (i.e. checking parameters etc.)
