Add parameter to servlet request

Can anyone tell me how should I add a parameter to the httprequest sent drom the MIDlet to the servlet , so that I can retreive the same in the servlet using getParameter()?

I'm not 100% sure which value the getPara returns, so
if it is part of the header, i.e.
accept: text/html, ...
then use
setRequestProperty()
Otherwise, just tag it on to the end of the URL:
http://www/file.jsp?param=p1&param2=p2...

Converting emails to servlet requests; servlet responses to emails

Hello,
I had asked this question in the Servlet forum. They directed me to here.
I've some servlet applications that posted by HTML forms with file attachements and other HTML fields.
I want to add email support to my servlets. So, users should be able post and recieve their data by emails.
But, I don't want to add email handling tasks to the current servlet applications. I need a middleware application between end users and my servlets that converts emails to servlet requests, and servlet responses to emails.
Here are the steps:
1- End user sends email with attachments.
2- Emailed data is converted to servlet request by a middleware application.
3- Servlet request is processed by my current servlets.
4- Servlet response is sent to middleware application.
5- Middleware application emails servlet reponse to end user as email.
If I can do that, I will not have to add emailing codes to my current servlets. do you know a product doing that ? Or, can you give me a direction ?
thanks...

Have you looked into JMS?

Populating bean attributes from servlet Request

I know that in a JSP, you can use
<jsp:setProperty name="p_filters" property="*"/>To populate the properties of a bean from parameters in a request.
Is there a reliable programmatic way to do this? Since I am using Tomcat, I could use
JspRuntimeLibrary.introspect(p_filters, request);But that relies on the servlet container's internal classes.
There really should be a way of doing this easily in a servlet as well as in a JSP! It should be part of the servlet standard, and the JSP standard <setProperty> tag should use that!

Well, that was buggy. Also, I've added common data types
     private static SimpleDateFormat[] df =
          new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"),
          new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"),
          new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd"),
          new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy"),
          new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")
     public static Date parseDate(String d)
          Date result = null;
          for (int i = 0; i < df.length; i++)
               try
                    result = df.parse(d);
                    if (result != null)
                         return result;
               catch (Exception e) // Ignore
          return result;

How can i send xml file with a http servlet request

Hi
Please tell me how can I send a xml file into http servlet request.
I have a servlet(action) java file.From this servlet I have generate a xml file. Now I need to send that xml file to another servlet with http servlet request object.
Dave.

When you say you have generated an XML file what do you mean?
Is it a file stored on disk? Then pass the file path as a string to the servlet.
Is it stored in memory as an object? The pass a reference to the object to the servlet.
Or are you asking how to communicate between servlets?
Look in the JavaDocs for the RequestDispatcher class. You can use this class to forward the request to another servlet. Data can be passes using the RequestDispatcher by storing it as attributes using the request getAttribute and setAttribute methods. Also described in the JavaDOcs.

Limit of Weblogic for servlet requests

          Hi,
          Could someone tell me what is the limit on the number of servlet requests per
          second a weblogic server
          can handle.. We are facing some performance issue.. Would like to know the limit
          that WLS server can process
          at a time.
          Thanks in advance,
          rgds, rams


Thanks Robert - I had the same results on 4-way E420 (and slightly less for
          session-less JSP). Don't you think it can be potentially useful to have some
          'baseline' results to be available for some most popular hardware/JVM configurations ?
          (Of course, these numbers have nothing to do with an actual application performance, but
          they are useful in establishing the 'upper limit' - something like HelloWorld servlet,
          HelloWorld JSP with session=false, HelloWorld JSP with sessions enabled).

HTTPS Servlet requests

          After installing service pack 9 from WL5.1, HTTPS servlet requests result in the
          browser returning a server error. Issue 41888 of sp9 seems to address this. We
          were previously running service pack 6 and didn't experience this problem. Any
          ideas?


Have you installed SP9 properly?
          I just tried accessing example servlets on Https protocol and i don't see any
          errors.
          Could you tell us what problems you are facing? Any test case?

A coworker figured out that the switchboard data input form was pointed at the wrong executable file. I knew there wasn't anything wrong with my code! I'll remember this one next time!

Does Weblogic 5.1 support the STANDARD javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate attribute?

Hello!
My strong suspicion from looking at the Weblogic SSL documentation on
http://e-docs.bea.com is that WebLogic SSL does not put any client-side
certificates into the 'javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate' attribute
of a servlet's HttpServletRequest (as an array of
java.security.cert.X509Certificate instances).
Currently, it appears that Weblogic uses a proprietary attribute name
('weblogic.security.somethingOrOther') and returns instances of the
deprecated Java 1.1 java.security.Certificate class.
When will Weblogic support this aspect of the Servlet 2.2 specification,
if it doesn't already?
Regards,
James W.

I just verified this with the Java doc. Either the Java documentation is
incorrect or we are still using the older version of the certificate
encoding class. I will check on this, we may have fixed it in a subsequent
service pack.
Thanks,
Michael

Cannot add parameter or header to post request URL in Data/Services

I'm trying to set up Data/Services in flash builder to connect to a RESTful API and as per usual Flash Builder attempts to scupper my efforts with it 'nearly but not quite' tools at every turn.
So I need to pass a POST request with a JSON string containing auth details to the URL:
https://myrestservice.com/rest/session/
For authentication to work I also need to add either:
A: an additional header containing: api_key = *my-api-key*
or
B: append the api key to the URL so: https://myrestservice.com/rest/session/?api_key=*my-api-key*
Simple right? Wrong. In the data/services tool for a custom http service there seems to be no way to add a custom header. Ok annoying as even a free chrome plugin can do this but hey I can live with that, I'll use option B. Wrong again. The URL field in Data/Services will ignore the query on the end of the URL. Seriously WTF. Am I missing something here?
So if I amend the auto-generated code in the super class and call it directly it works but if I try to take advantage of any of the tools the code is regenerated and overwrites my changes. Test Operation never works either.
I know there is a second class which is supposed to be used to extended and override the super class but only certain overrides seem to work so for example:
This works:
._serviceControl.baseurl = ("https://someotherurl.com")
This doesn't work:
._serviceControl.headers = ({"api_key = *my-api-key*"})
Oh and Test operation only seems to execute the super class. Once again a brick wall.
Working with flash builder seems to be 50pc coding 50pc deciding if it's a bug in your code or flash builder f*****g you over.
Any thoughts, workarounds, am I missing something would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Shameless bump here!
So nobody has had this issue before?
