ADF Faces - access to content in WEB-INF directory

Hello,
I create simple JSF application that use ADF Faces and deploy it to Oracle iAS. But why can i also access files in WEB-INF directory? For example, the following URL - http://myserver.si/MyApp/faces/WEB-INF/web.xml - will return the content of XML file. By my knowledge of J2EE architecture, access to this directory should be forbidden.
Should I set some parameter on javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet servlet filter to prevent access to WEB-INF directory? Thank you for help.
Google also found the following links:

Hi,
the reason for this is that the WEB-INF directory is protected against direct client (browser) requests. Using Faces, the JSF servlet performs this access as a server side forward request in which case there is no container-managed protection.
If you want to avoid this then you can write a servlet filter in fron of JSF in which you check for any occurences of directories you want to prohibit access to.
Its not a bug, its the way J2EE is designed ;-(

  • Access JSF Pages within WEB-INF directory

    Hi,
    I am generating a project using JHeadstart 10.1.3
    with the default setting for the UI Pages directory (/WEB-INF/page).
    This means that the generated pages are placed in the page directory
    within the WEB-INF directory.
    The generated pages use ADF Faces and the problem is that I can't
    get access to the pages in the WEB-INF directory
    When I try to deploy to OC4J standalone, the pages in the WEB-INF directory
    are not accessible.
    I read that I have to construct a index.jspx file that forwards to
    the first page (Home.jspx)
    This is my index.jspx:
    <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0">
    <jsp:scriptlet> request.getRequestDispatcher("WEB-INF/page/Home.jspx").forward(request,response);
    </jsp:scriptlet>
    </jsp:root>
    This works, but I now have the problem of not getting a valid FacesContext:
    500 Internal Server Error
    javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find FacesContext

    What is the required way of setting up the forward (and having a valid FacesContext)?

    I do something similar in my index.jspx file - but I needed to add "faces" to the url path. This will have the faces servlet process it and setup the faces context.
    Have you tried changing
    request.getRequestDispatcher("WEB-INF/page/Home.jspx").forward(request,response);to
    request.getRequestDispatcher("faces/WEB-INF/page/Home.jspx").forward(request,response);

  • Access jsp pages in WEB-INF directory

    Hi,
    I've a problem with my jsp web project;
    practically I've created a web project that uses jsp pages and servlet.
    I never use links to jsp pages, directly in my web pages, but I call always first servlet;
    the servlet call jsp pages.
    My project is completed and works fine, but any user can access to my jsp pages directly simply writing the url.
    So I've tried to move my jsp pages in the WEB-INF directory, but now I doesn't manage in accessing index.jsp page;
    how must I do to access index.jsp page?
    I've tried to modify web.xml like this
    <welcome-file-list>
              <welcome-file>WEB-INF/index.jsp</welcome-file>
         </welcome-file-list>
    but doesn't work;
    besides also servlet calls to jsp pages doesn't work anymore.
    How can I solve?
    Thank you in advance
    MargNat

    ok, so first you have to implement the Filter interface, with 3 methods,
    the main method u have to put logic in is doFilter()
    public class YourClass implements javax.servlet.Filter {
    doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FIlterChain chain) throws ... {
    //check first if is HTTP, if in this case permission is not granted as well
    if(req instanceof HttpServletRequest{
    HttpServletRequest httpReq = (HttpServletRequest)req;
    //now check if its called for index.jsp
    if(!httpReq.getRequestURI().toLowerCase().endsWith("index.jsp"))
       throw new ServletException("access permitted");
    else
      chain.doFilter(req,res); //go on with processing
    }else
    throw new ServletException("only HTTP requests allowed");
    }and of course you have to register that filter in your web.xml doing
      <filter>
        <filter-name>yourFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>yourFilterClass</filter-class>
      </filter>
      <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>yourFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/**.jsp</url-pattern>
      </filter-mapping>actually that's it

  • Locating the contents of WEB-INF/classes

    Hi,
    We have a web-app deployed as a WAR file (unexploded) and we want to be able to the contents of WEB-INF/classes (ie properties). However when I try and access these files via a web browser, I receive a 404. I tried putting a simple HTML page in there which also gave a 404. I also tried the same method with a simple dummy WAR and was able to retrieve the HTML opage in WEB-INF/classes.
    Is there some setting which allows the contents of WEB-INF/classes to be read, or not to be read?
    The java version is J2SDK 1.4.2-05, and the app server is JRun 4 updater 4.
    Thanks,
    Jon Daniels

    No - fundamentally what we are aiming for is to have the unexploded WAR app read properties (i.e. log4j.properties, etc) from the WEB-INF/classes folder. To simulate this I attempted to access properties via a web browser; however I'm not sure that's the best way to test, so to rephrase: the problem is that my WAR-file based web-app is not loading properties files from the WEB-INF/lib classes directory.

  • PLEASE HELP. How do you access properties files in WEB-INF  and classes directory

    We have a war file that needs to access properties files that are in the WEB-INF directory
    of the war file. We also need to load one of the properties files from the classpath.
    However, when we deploy the application ( an ear which inlcludes an ejbjar and a
    war and the libraries both the ejbjar (with a manifest setting the classpath ) and
    war need ) the properties don't get extracted.
    In some of our servlets we are trying to access those files with the path "WEB-INF/foo.properties"
    and we get a FileNotFoundException. Then we check and see that NO properties files
    have been extracted into their appropriate places ( not even those we throw into
    the WEB-INF/classes directory ).
    PLEASE HELP,
    Christian Hargraves

    The file doesn't have to be extracted from the war. For example, you can place
    test.properties into your app WEB-INF and write a simple JSP to see how it
    works:
    <%
    InputStream in = application.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/test.properties");
    %>
    It will return you a zip inputstream if you deployed your application as a .war.

    I try this, but I get a NullPointerException. The file never actually gets extracted

    extracted directories for WebLogic deploys. only:
    WEB-INF/some_tmp_dir/WEB-INF/lib

    go in WEB-INF/classes ( all except the properties, of course, which are no where
    to be found. ).
    There has to be some kind of setting I am missing. Please don't make me seperate
    these properties files from the war/ear and then put the path to these properties
    files in the CLASSPATH, changing one step to three steps to deploy!!
    I have found a documented bug where you can't even put the properties files in a

  • DefaultServlet bug? forwarding to static content under WEB-INF

    I've encountered what seems to be a bug in the DefaultServlet in WebServer 7.0u2, when trying to do a requestDispatch->forward to static content (e.g., a .png file) under WEB-INF. In general, I can forward into content under WEB-INF, and my servlet works fine when forwarding to dynamic content under WEB-INF (e.g., a .jsp file), but when I try to forward to static content, a 404 error is sent. The same servlet also works fine if I put the static content outside of WEB-INF. In summary:
    forwarding to /WEB-INF/foo.png responds with error 404 (even though the content exists)
    forwarding to /WEB-INF/foo.jsp works fine
    forwarding to /other-dir/foo.png works fine
    I'm baffled as to why I can't forward to static content under WEB-INF. I have a very simple web.xml file, and no suffix-based mappings, so the only servlet that should be responding to the forward is the servlet container's DefaultServlet. Is there some bug in DefaultServlet? Am I misunderstanding something?

    pl. upgrade to latest update (web server 7 u5 as of now) and see if your problem is still reproduced.

  • Why cant I access a WEB-INF directory?

    Hi,
    I had a war file from a book that I did jar xvf on. It created a directory structure of the nature
    <TOMCAT>/ex0101/WEB-INF/etc...
    If I go to
    http://localhost:8080/ex0101it works
    If I create anotherDirectory inside ex0101, and do
    http://localhost:8080/ex0101/ANOTHER-DIRECTORYit works
    But If I do
    http://localhost:8080/ex0101/WEB-INFI get:
    HTTP Status 404 - /ex0101/WEB-INF/WHY?

    The WEB-INF directory is designated to be hidden from
    the end user. It is used for configuration files
    like web.xml, struts-config.xml, and other "utility"
    files. For security purposes, the end user is not
    allowed to browse this directory directly.oh thank you so much, I was sitting here going crazy, I looked at the directory property and it was not hidden on Windows, so I was so confused, but I guess it is hidden in Tomcat, thanks a lot, you are a truly kind man

  • Serializing a JavaBean to the WEB-INF directory or subdirectories

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me on this.
    I'm working with two scenarios in WSAD Enterprise Edition 5.0.0.2 for
    serializing a JavaBean (called AddressBean) to the following location
    in my Web application:
    /WEB-INF/classes/resources/serializable
    The data corresponding to the bean I'm serializing is being stored in
    a file with a name that makes it unique on the file system (e.g.
    jeff.ser, jill.ser). In the first scenario, I start by getting a
    FileOutputStream, then an ObjectOutputStream which is then used to
    write my JavaBean as needed. All of this is done in the first
    scenario from a JSP located in:
    myWebApp/Web Content/jsp/JSP1.jsp
    That works fine and as I'd expect. However, I'm not able to do that
    in the second scenario. In this scenario, I created an additional
    method in the bean itself that will actually serialize an object of
    its own type to the same directory structure that I showed above (i.e.
    under the WEB-INF directory). That is, in my bean, I have the
    following:
    public void writeDataToFile(AddressBean bean, String path) {
    FileOutputStream fos = null;
    ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
    try {
    fos = new FileOutputStream(path);
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    oos.writeObject(bean);
    oos.close();
    catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    In this scenario, another JSP (call it JSP2.jsp) is creating an
    instance of AddressBean by using the jsp:useBean tag. The real path
    for the .ser file is figured out in the JSP code (same as was done in
    JSP1.jsp), and then I delegate the serialization part to the bean
    itself like so:
    // In JSP2.jsp
    <jsp:useBean id="ab" class="examples.beans.simple.AddressBean" />
    AddressBean address = (AddressBean) pageContext.getAttribute("ab");
    // get the path
    String path = ...
    String realPath = application.getRealPath(path);
    // write the object
    address.writeDataToFile(ab, realPath);
    What happens is that I get a FileNotFoundException while trying to
    create the FileOutputStream in the writeDataToFile() method in
    AddressBean at runtime. The message in the console states:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    C:\WINNT\Profiles\myself\Personal\IBM\wsad\myworkbench\myWebApp\Web
    Content\ (Access is denied)
    The source file for AddressBean is located at:
    myWebApp/Java Source/examples.beans.simple.AddressBean
    WHAT is going on here!? I know that everything stored underneath the
    WEB-INF directory is not served to clients so I'm also assuming that
    whatever stored in that directory or its subdirectories is not
    accessible to clients by default. The only real difference between
    the two scenarios that I've described is that in the second one, the
    attempt to get a FileOutputStream is being made by a resource (i.e.
    AddressBean) that is outside of the "Web Content" directory structure
    in WSAD. However, the "Java Source" directory, which contains the
    package housing my AddressBean class, is also under myWebApp so I'm
    not seeing what the problem is at the moment.
    If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, solutions, please let me know.
    I'm stumped. Thank you!
    Jeff

    I figured it out, and it was my mistake. The problem was in a method defined in my AddressBean class that would take a String argument and use it to help create a unique file name (i.e. one with a .ser extension to contain the serialized bean data) for purposes of serialization later.
    Basically, I was using a local variable in the method unintentionally instead of the instance variable that I had defined in the bean so my path value was null at runtime--hence the FileNotFoundException.
    I'm still not sure why the (Access is denied) message was appearing, but I suspect it was b/c the absolute path that I'd end up with at runtime wasn't kosher; or, not having a destination .ser file was the problem.
    In any event, I fixed the mistake and could serialize a JavaBean in several ways:
    1. From a JSP directly
    2. By using a method defined in the JavaBean itself
    3. By passing on the request, which contained the JavaBean as an attribute, to a servlet that took care of the serialization

  • Possible to put JSPs used by JSF in WEB-INF directory?

    I'm used to storing my JSPs in the WEB-INF directory so that they can only be accessed through a controller servlet and not directly. Does anyone know if this is possible with JSF?
    I have an application that has 3 pages. I want to force the user to go from page 1 to page 2 to page 3. I don't want the user to be able to jump straight to page 2 or 3 without first going through the previous pages. How can I acheive this using JSF?
    Furthermore, if the session times out while the user is on page 2 or 3 and they attempt to submit, I want the application to go back to page 1 (or, preferably a page that states that the session has timed out) and force them to start over.

    May be you should just restrict access to your *.jsp files and doing your logic by the beans and navigation rules?

  • Find path to Web-inf directory from root

    Hi All,
    I have a application for which the "config.txt" file is placed in "Web-inf" directory. I want to get the complete path to this file so that I can access it and read config info.
    I am able to acheive this if I write the following piece of code and it gives me the complete path.
    String configPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("config.txt");
    My problem is that this code works only if the class extends from HttpServlet. I want to get the complete path to this file from a normal java bean, where I don't have the servlet context.
    If there is any alternative way to achieve this or if somehow I can get the servlet context in the java bean then please let me know. We use iPlanet 6.0 server.
    Thanks for your help.
    RM

    Thanks for your reply. Do you mean, I should use
    getResourceasStream() method which return inputstream.
    But even that would require servletcontext object ?No it doesn't require the servlet context; if it did, you'd still be able to get the servlet context from the servlet itself.
    Maybe I have not understood, your approach. Can you
    please give me some example.
    class SomeServlet extends HttpServlet {
        // servlet stuff
        private void handleConfiguration() {
            InputStream configStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("config.txt"); // may return null
            YourBean bean = getYourBeanInstance();
            bean.someMethod(configStream);
            // close configStream
    public class YourBean {
        public void someMethod(InputStream configStream) {
            // handle configStream
    }

  • Support for JSP's located in WEB-INF directory

    Several application servers support the use of placing JSP pages underneath the WEB-INF directory, to insure that only server side workflow forwards requests to those pages and not direct URL access. IN addition the JSTL specification supports the use of
    <c:import url="/WEBINF/published/campaign_Arts.jsp" />
    Does OC4J 9.0.3 support this syntax? I cannot get it to work. Is there an application configuration file I need to update to support this?
    Thanks

              thank you for your reply...
              but...
              My problem is that i want to serve jsp pages that include various other jsp pages.
              But i don't want those other pages to be served directly. The approach of putting
              the jsp files in the WEB-INF, or in a sub directory of it, worked fine on Tomcat.
              The way i look at it is that the server has direct access to them when putting
              togetter the main jsp, but they can't be accessed from the outside. But this seems
              not to be the case.
              Any ideas?

  • Storing .jsp files in the web-inf directory

    Has anyone ever heard about storing JSP files in the web-inf directory instead of the web app root directory.
    Apparently it improves security.
    If this is so, how is the user suppose to access the jsp file since I thought that users were not able to access what is stored in the web-inf directory.
    Any thoughts

    I didn't tyr this but I think it is possible. You can do it using <servlet-mapping/> as you do with any other servlet.
    For example include lines below, in web.xml of web-inf,
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>ReportRouter</servlet-name>
    <jsp-file>/web-inf/jsp/ReportRouter.jsp</jsp-file>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ReportRouter</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/myrouter</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    This may work. Don't you think so?

  • Log4J - reading properties file from /WEB-INF directory issue..

    I'm just learning to implement Log4J; the approach I am taking for my JSF application running under Tomcat 5.5x is to create an initialization servlet to initialize the logger, and then access the logger instance within my backing beans and application module services. I include log4j.jar file in /WEB-INF/lib and log4j.properties in /WEB-INF.
    First I wanted to see if this was a good approach, and secondly I'm having trouble accessing the log4j.properties file from the /WEB-INF directory (see below) - any suggestions on how to set up the path so that the properties file can be found (I receive a java.io.filenotfoundexception)?
    Where I'm looking for direction is how to define a single instance of the logger and then access that instance from my java classes versus re-creating the logger in each class.
    ----- web.xml --------
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>LogServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sidehire.view.util.LogServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>setup</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    ------ LogServlet class ------
    public void init()
    throws ServletException {
    String config = getInitParameter("setup");
    PropertyConfigurator.configure(config);
    Thanks

    Try to put the log4j.properties in your WEB-INF/classes/ directory.
    You could wrap one log4j instance in a static method in a utility class, but then you would probably lose other information depending on your logger configuration.
    If you create an instance in each class, which after all is just one line like this:
    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ChangePasswrdAction.class.getName());
    then you are able to get time and method information.

  • Invalid Flex WEB-INF directory

    Please someone help me !
    I've instaled LiveCycle Data Series and ColdFusion MX7 and I
    want to create a Flex Project to access a database that is in SQL
    server locally in my computer.
    When I try to create it FLEX using CF or DataSeries always
    says that the WEB-INF directory isn't available.
    Can someone explain me Step by Step how should I do it
    ?

    The Flex documentation - Building and Deploying Flex
    Applications, Chapter 3, page 45 - states that you can create your
    Flex project under your own Java web application folder (a opposed
    to the flex.war folder), but is very scarce with details.
    Anyone from Adobe to enlighten us ?
    What should a Java web application folder contain so that
    Flex Builder allows to create a Flex project within it ?

  • How can I reference a dtd in the Web-Inf directory from an xml file?

    Hi,
    I've placed my test.xml and test.dtd files in the following
    direcory (part of my web application)
    weblogic\config\MyDomain\applications\sample\Web-inf
    When I refer to the dtd from the xml file, as follows,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE application SYSTEM "test.dtd">
    Weblogic tries to look for the dtd in the weblogic directory(the
    place where I started the server from). How can I get it to read
    the dtd in the Web-inf directory?
    I'm using Weblogic6.0 SP1 on Windows NT 4.0
    Thanks.

    Two options:
    1) Use SYSTEM "http://localhost:7001/sample/test.dtd"
    2) Or use XML registry in WLS6.0
    Cheers - Wei
