Access jsp's application object from an .java file?

Hi,
I hava a .jsp page and an import statement to a .java file. How can I access the application object in this .java file?
I want to make an initialization function that I want to be called in every .jsp of the WEB application and to store this function in a .java file.

The only way to get a hold of the application object would be to pass it to java code as a parameter to a method.
ie public class Util{
public void initialiseJSPPage(ServletContext application){
// do stuff in ServletContext
}and then in the JSP call it via
<% Util.initialiseJSPPage(application); %>
You could manually include this code on every JSP.
A better alternative is that in web.xml you can configure an automatic include (See JSP.3.3.5)
What is it you are trying to accomplish by doing this?
Would a Filter be a more appropriate tool in this case? That would let you run java code before selected requests are handled.
Cheers,

View Object to read data from a java file

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4 and ADF-BC in my application.
For one of my view objects , I want the data to be read from a java file which exposes some method to return a collection.
I cannot use a static view object in this case.
Please suggest the best way to implement this requirement.Basically build a view object that should read data from a java file.
Thanks,
Praveen

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

How to Use AccessibleObjectFromWindow API in VBA to Get Excel Application Object from Excel Instance Window Handle

I need to get the Excel.application object from a window handle using AccessibleObjectFromWindow. I can't seem to make the code work. First, I successfully search for the XLMAIN windows. Then, when I get a handle, I execute the AccessibleObjectFromWindow
function. It seems to return a value of -2147467262 in all cases. Therefore, I believe that it is returning an error value. I can't figure out how to determine the meaning of this value.
If it is an error value, I believe that one or more arguments are in error. My best guess at present is that the GUID argument is incorrect. I have tried two GUID values: {00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and {90140000-0016-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}.
I have seen both used in conjunction with OBJID_NATIVEOM. Neither one seems to work. I really would prefer not to use the second one as it has an Excel major and minor version number. I would hate to have to change this code, if a new minor version appeared.
The attached code has been commented to show which parts have been shown to work and which not. I'm at my wits end and really need help.
Thanks

Note as written if an instance does not have any loaded workbooks a reference will not be returned (though a workbook can be added using DDE, but convoluted!)
FWIW there are two other very different approaches to grab all running Excel instances though something along the lines of the above is simplest.

How to read messages in message pool from a java file

Hi All,
I want to read a message that is defined in a message pool of a webdynpro component.
This reading should be done from a java file present in the "src" folder.
How can I get the handle to the IWDComponent?
Or is there any other way?
Or is there any way of reading localized messages in a java file of a webdynpro component?
Can you kindly guide me out of this issue?
Thanks and regards
RB

Hello,
my approach is more simple: how can I read within component A the message pool of another webdynpro component B ? Component A has a usage relation to component B .
I tried this within component A:
<b>this.wdThis.wdGetBInterface().wdGetAPI().getComponent().getTextAccessor().getText("ANY_TEXT");</b>
I got the exeption:
<b>java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Embedded Components are black boxes. You should not access parts which are not in their interface</b>.
Is there any way to share message pools ?
Thanks

Accessing an UIComponent object from a .java

Hello,
I have i new problem here, i have fetch in the java-doc but in vain ...
Does somebody have an example on the syntax of the code that i have to put in my java file to access an UIComponent object ?
Thanks :-)
In fact here is what i'd like to do:
I would like to have in my jsp, a select list with values defined in my backing bean according to a parameter. For example, a product can have 2 status: sold out or available. If available i want the select list to have values as 1,2 and if sold out 2,3 ...

No in fact what i want is:
I want a select list with 4 options:
- Choice 1
- Choice 2
- Choice 3
- Choice 4
if the status is 1, then i want my select list to contain :
- Choice 1
- Choice 2
In this case, i want to remove from my backing bean, the choice 3 and choice 4
if the status is 2:
- Choice 1
- Choice 2
- Choice 3
So in this case, i want to remove choice 4...
I need to do that from a bean.

Retrieving a UDT object from a Java Stored Procedure

I am really having trouble returning a UDT object (AttributeUDT) from a Java stored procedure. I am using Oracle 8.1.6 and JDeveloper 3.2.2. I have successfully used JPublisher to create the Java source code files for my UDT, now I would like to use that in coordination with my Java stored procedure. I've loaded the Java stored procedure into the database using the Deployment option in JDeveloper. However, when it loads the procedure, it translates the 3rd parameter to an OBJECT type, thus making the stored procedure invalid. I can use SQL Navigator to correct the package by changing the OBJECT reference to AttributeUDT (my UDT data type). Unfortunately, my Java stored procedure still does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time!
In the example below, could anyone please tell me:
1. How do I register the OUT variable for the UDT?
2. Is it correct to use the casted call to getObject to retrieve my UDT object?
3. Is it valid to use the UDT data type in the java stored procedure method signature?
The call to the Java stored procedure:
OracleCallableStatement cs3 = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall( "{ call sandbox.getQualifiersV3( ?, ?, ?) }");
cs3.registerOutParameter( 1, Types.VARCHAR);
cs3.registerOutParameter( 2, Types.VARCHAR);
cs3.registerOutParameter( 3, ???????);
cs3.execute();
System.out.println( "ID: " + cs3.getString( 1));
System.out.println( "Prompt: " + cs3.getString( 2));
AttributeUDT attributes = (AttributeUDT)cs3.getObject( 3);
System.out.println( "Table id: " + attributes.getLogicalTableId());
System.out.println( "Element id: " + attributes.getElementId());
cs3.close();
===========================================
The Java stored procedure:
public static void getQualifiersV3( String ids[], String prompts[],
AttributeUDT attributes[]) throws SQLException {
OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection)new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT * "
+ "FROM VPS_ABOK_QUALIFIERS "
+ "WHERE qualifier_id = 2001");
rs.next();
ids[0] = rs.getString( 1);
prompts[0] = rs.getString( 2);
attributes[0] = (AttributeUDT)rs.getCustomDatum( 3, AttributeUDT.getFactory());
rs.close();
stmt.close();
null

Sounds like your C2 REF TYP1 attribute may be null. Unfortunately you neglected to say where in your code the NullPointerException occurs.

Error in accessing the sample application content from the OBIEE 11g

I installed OBIEE 11g + Oracle 11g database on one machine. Everything went smoothly with no issues.
I can connection to the database from SQLPLUS.
Then I followed instructions to deploy sample app. After everything is done, when I try to access the dashboards, reports etc from the OBIEE 11g home page , I get the error below.
I am stuc kand dont know how to proceed. I verified tnsnames.ora and everything seems good.
In the SampleAPp.RPD, I set DB_SID as "ORCL" and DB_HOST as my computer name (along with domain name). No idea how to proceed from here..
I really appreciate any help.

Thanks for the replies.
1) Was the oracle installed in multiple instances ? if yes set the Variable path correctly pointing to your right folder
Yes, oracle had multiple instances. I tried copying the tnsnames.ora from my oracle home to the Oracle_BI1/network/admin directory as 11g apparetnly comes with a Oracle client as BIFACTs suggested in his/her reply. I put the same in the path variable
2) Try to ping the service_name tnsping service_name(SID) from command prompt
This works.
3) check whether you may have "white spaces" in tnsnames.ora file at starting of entry
No white spaces appeated
I still see the same issue! I logged in as developer credentials as mentioned the sample app documentation.
I get the same "cannot connect to database" error.
I once in a while see an issue with javahost not starting. Not sure what is the impact of javahsot not running and all the other managed processes running.
Please help....

Slow applications start from win 2012 file server using win 7 workstations

I hope someone can help me with why applications are slow to load i have replaced a 8 year old server running win 2003 and replaced it with dell t620 running win 2012 r2 it is like 20 times faster but it is slower than the old server. the office has
7 win 7 x64 machines all our applications are running from win 2012 file server. The server is set up as following the server runs with two hyper-v machines one machine runs ad, file server, dhcp, dns and printer server and the other is domino server and remote
desktop.
the machine is more than capable but it is not so i started reading after i run out of ideas. i looked every where but the issue is with the server after trying everything else i did a simple test If i go to the application folder and click on it apps load
instantly if i then type a unc path it takes from instant load to 3 and a bit seconds the same as the workstations. The same speed if I use ip address.
network cards are intel
i would really appreciate if somebody has suggestions that i could try
thank you

Hi,
Do you mean that applications in the application folder start slowly when you access the application folder on the Windows 2012 R2 file server from Windows 7 workstations using UNC path or IP address. Do all the files in the application folder have the same
issue? Please create a shared folder on the file server, then access the shared folder from Windows 7 workstations to check if the issue still exists.
You could disable SMBv3 on server 2012 to check if the issue related to SMB protocol.

Create File Object from a remote file

Hi,
I would like to know about how to create a new File object from a file in a remote machine, it is a web application, i have the remote route of the file, and if I need the ip of the remote machine, I would like to know how to get it too.
File fileobject = new File(�What do I have to put here or before or whatever?);
Thank you very much.
J.

First, from the technical point of view you can't create a File object unless it's a file on the computer where the code is running. It doesn't matter if you have an IP address or something, if you haven't mapped a drive to it you can't create a File object.
But more importantly, you can't just reach out from your server and grab a file from the client's computer. That's an obvious security violation and if you didn't realize that you shouldn't be designing web applications yet. If you want a file uploaded then you have to provide the client with an HTML form where they select a file to be uploaded.

public class CoastalRead {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CoastalTowns towns[] = new CoastalTowns[50];
          towns[0] = new CoastalTowns();
          towns[1] = new CoastalTowns();
          towns[2] = new CoastalTowns();
          towns[3] = new CoastalTowns();
          towns[4] = new CoastalTowns();
          String name, county;
          int population, area;
        try {
            FileInputStream fileIn =
                    new FileInputStream("CoastalTownsBin.bin");
            ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
            for (int i = 0; i < towns.length; i++){
             towns[i] =(CoastalTowns) in.readObject();
               System.out.println("Deserialized File...");
                   System.out.println("Name: " + towns.name);
          System.out.println("County: " + towns[i].county);
     System.out.println("Population: " + towns[i].population);
          System.out.println("Area: " + towns[i].area);
in.close();
fileIn.close();
} catch (IOException i) {}
catch (ClassNotFoundException c) {}
+I'd appreciate a fast reply!+ And if someone needs the writing class I've used, I can post it asap.

CoastalTowns towns[] = new CoastalTowns[50];
towns[0] = new CoastalTowns();
towns[1] = new CoastalTowns();
towns[2] = new CoastalTowns();
towns[3] = new CoastalTowns();
towns[4] = new CoastalTowns();Why create an array with a size of 50 and then only fill 5 elements?
Why bother filling any elements at all when you are reading the objects from a file?
What happens if there are less than 50 objects in your file?
I will assume CoastalTowns holds info about a single town, so why is it pluralised? Do you have a class called Dog or Dogs, Chair or Chairs, Person or People?
} catch (IOException i) {}
catch (ClassNotFoundException c) {}DO NOT swallow exceptions. At the very least put in a call to printStackTrace so you know if/when an exception occurs.
I'd appreciate a fast reply!I typed as fast as I could but unfortunately I'm still and hunt and peck guy.

Access jsp's application object from an .java file?
