Adjusting the reason-phrase in servlet response

Hi-
We've recently run into a problem with a service provider that is requiring the response code of one of our servlets to be 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK' - i.e. the Reason-Phrase has to be equal to 'OK'. It appears that the Servlet implementation (we are using Tomcat - I'm not sure if that matters) is leaving off the 'OK' altogether.
Now - the RFC for HTTP makes it perfectly clear that it is legal to leave off the Reason-Phrase altogether (which is what Servlet appears to be doing). I'm banging my head against the provider (which is Verisign) trying to get them to fix their non-standard implementation, but in the meantime, I'm losing sales.
Is there a way to get a specific reason-phrase in the HTTP response header from a servlet?
Is there any way to create the entire response myself? i.e. I can just emit the entire header, including the HTTP/1.1 200 OK line myself instead of relying on the underlying Servlet to handle the implementation.
I'm dying here - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
- Kevin
PS - the service in question is Verisign's credit card processing service. They upgraded their application server last night, and our ecommerce has been dead ever since (it's actually worse than that - they are sending me the POST that says that the transaction was succesful, then they are going back and voiding out the transaction - this means that I'm sending out licenses to folks who aren't being charged for them). If you are using any of Verisign's credit card processing facilities, I STRONGLY encourage you to test everything out and make sure you aren't getting messed over.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I do not believe that the setHeader() method will do what I need.
The setHeader method sets a header value. What I need to set is not a header value - it is the first line of the response header itself.
For example, the following is the entire response that is sent by my servlet:
HTTP/1.1 200
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 20:02:40 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 0
In the above, the Server, Date, Content-Type and Content-Length lines refer to header values (which can be set using setHeader).
What I need to change is the very first line - i.e. I need it to read 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Maybe I need to deploy a Servlet using GenericServlet as the base class, then generate all of the headers manually?
Thanks!

>>
this is from the api docs
setHeader
public void setHeader(java.lang.String name,
java.lang.String value)Sets a
ng.String value)Sets a response header with the given
name and value. If the header had already been
set, the new value overwrites the previous
one.
thanks,

Extra characters at the end of each servlet response

I am attempting to develop a servlet that sits between a server and a browser, and simply martials arguments to send to the server, and then forwards responses to the web browser. When working with Weblogic 5.1 sp 11, things worked fine, except that an extra new line was added to the end of each response. I am now testing against Weblogic 7.0, and instead of a new line the characters "null" (not including the quotes) are added. I have tried to experiment to see if anything I have written or control is causing these characters to be sent to the client, but as far as I can tell there is nothing there. The I write my final character, close the ouput stream, and the client recieves bytes I did not send. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have ideas on how to fix this problem. Thanks for any input,
Nathan

Yes! There are advantages with jar files.
The jar tool combines multiple files into a single JAR archive file. jar is a general-purpose archiving and compression tool, based on ZIP and the ZLIB compression format. However, jar was designed mainly to facilitate the packaging of java applets or applications into a single archive. When the components of an applet or application (.class files, images and sounds) are combined into a single archive, they may be downloaded by a java agent (like a browser) in a single HTTP transaction, rather than requiring a new connection for each piece. This dramatically improves download times. jar also compresses files and so further improves download time. In addition, it allows individual entries in a file to be signed by the applet author so that their origin can be authenticated. The syntax for the jar tool is almost identical to the syntax for the tar command. A jar archive can be use as a class path entry, whether it is compressed or not.

Why when I open Firefox does it come up "not responding"? When I attempt to close I get a windows window to check for the reason for no response. Magically, all of a sudden Firefox "POPS" back to life. Any thing I can do about this??

Firefox will open and then "freeze" (Says Firefox not responding). Have to attempt to close from lower bar and then get message from Windows - options
1. close window now
2. windows will search for the reason
When I click on either option I have to wait "magically" Firefox will "pop" alive. May stay responsive for full session or may again "not respond" when I try to access another site.

I have also found that unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

Concurrent processing of POST requests and automatic flushing of the servlet response buffer in WLS6.1.

          Hi all,
          I encountered the following 2 servlet problems in WLS 6.0/ 6.1:
          1. Processing concurrent POST requests
          WLS seems to disallow concurrent executions of any servlet's doPost servlet method.
          When two clients attempt to send a request to a servlet using POST, the socond
          one
          is blocked until the first customer is served. In essence, the servlet ends up
          operating in
          1-user mode. I just learned from Jervis Liu that the problem is solved in WLS6.0
          if you disable http-keepalive.
          For WLS 6.1 a partial workaround is to make the servlet work in a single-thread
          mode (by implementing the javax.servlet.SingleThreadModel interface). In this
          case,
          WLS dispatches concurrent requests to different instances of the servlet.
          This doesn't completely eliminate the problem - still only one customer can be
          connected at a time. The improvement is that once the first customer is disconnects,
          the second can be served even if the doPost method for the first has not finished
          yet.
          2. Flushing the response buffer in WLS 6.1
          The servlet response buffer is not flushed automatically until doPost ends, unless
          you
          explicitly call response.flushBuffer(). Closing the output stream doesn't flush
          the
          buffer as per the documentation.
          I see that other people are experiencing the same problems.
          Has anyone found any solutions/workarounds or at least an explanation.
          Any input would be highly appreciated.
          Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying. Here my answers:
          > Did you mark your doPost as synchronized?
          No.
          > Also, try testing w/ native i/o vs not ... is there a difference?
          With native I/O turned off I get a little lower performance, but the
          difference is not too big.

I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

Charset problem -- NLS_LANG the reason

If hab the following problem
I use a unix server where a Oracle Server 10.2.0.2.0 64bit Version runs
on this database i save my SAP data
Now i have also a Windows 2000 Server where i run a Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 32 bit Client
From this client i wanna make queries with MS Access 2003 via ODBC
There is no connection problem but a problem with the signs which are shown in linked table from Access
in SAP on the server i see for example "Moneriő" in my Access table i see only "Monerio"---> a modified "o"
Where could be the error
Is the reason a wrong adjusted NLS_Lang in the Windows registry on the client ???
There i can read " GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252"
On the server i can see with "select * from nls_database_parameters" the following
NLS_NCHAR_CHARSET ---> UTF8
NLS_LANGUAGE -->AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY --> AMERICA
Would it solve my problem, if i modifie NLS_LANG on the client to the same values like those on the Server
Please help me thanks

Hi thanks for your response
i had a look on NLS_CHARACTERSET of my database. It is also UTF8.
This charset is optimal for my requirements, it contains all necessary characters i wanna use.
Now my question again: IS it necessary to change
NLS_NCHAR_CHARSET to UTF8
NLS_LANGUAGE to AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY to AMERICA
Or what can be the rease else??

Unable to get custom Reason Phrase

Hii,
I am unable to get reason phrase message from the HTTP response header. However this happens only in case of custom status code and message attached with this custom status code.
e.g. status code: 801 vehicle number is missing
I am just getting the standard HTTP headers response code messages only but not the status code messages that are build custom.
Thanks

How are you trying this?

Servlet Response Problem

Hello all,
My simple servlet takes in a URL as a parameter and the uses the httpUrlConnection method to retrieve that page. It then just writes the html to the browser in the hope that it would be displayed as if retrieved directly.
Although the source of a page retrieved in this way is identicle to the expected source, no images appear. I think (guess) this is because the address of a page retrieved in this way will not be the same as if retrieved normally. This, in turn, messes up the relative file paths. e.g www.mypage.com becomes something like http://localhost/httpProxyServer?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mypage.com (httpProxyServer is the name of the servlet).
To get to the point, idoes anyone know if there is a way i can set the address of the returned page to be as if retrieved directly? I have looked in to response headers with little luck although i am very new to servlets. Thanks for any tips or advice.
Christie

This question can be better answered if you point out the need to examine each response before actually sending it out to the browser. What exactly do you look for in the response ? Do you compress it / transform it / parse it ?
Having said that, you could use filters to meet any of your above needs.
1. The first obvious gain is that it is a standard, widely accepted and part of the j2ee specification. As you said, it provides modularity and resuability of code. Somebody who goes through your work would easily pick up the trail, comprehend concisely the effort and the ends you attempt to achieve. You would have implicit server support (more of this later)
2. You use a servlet that intercepts each request. It then uses a HttpURLConnection to get the response from each resource. As you can see straight away, this essentially makes it two requests per request - the original request goes to your general purpose servlet; then the general purpose Servlet(GPS hereafter) makes the url connection to the resource, its a brand new request. The original request may have lots of params coming in which have to be reconstructed by the GPS and included in the call to the resource which delivers the actual response back to the GPS. Hope you begin to see the pitfalls here (for example imagine the incoming stream is a byte stream resulting from a file upload)
**in short** the 'simple servlet' is going to get very very complex as your application grows.
3. All the above rerouting (even if you manage to achieve it successfully) will take its toll on the performance measured in terms of the response time.
4. In established MVC2 framework like Struts or JSF, the Servlet that intercepts every request is a Controller Servlet (which knows how to handle the request, which validations to perform, which beans to invoke and so on). Your GPS should in addition to examining responses, do all this stuff or else you would end up with multiple Controllers making your app quite unwieldy.
5. Using filters, you could side step all the above which in itself is a huge advantage (me thinks :)) besides providing a standard way to implement tasks similar to yours. I mentioned implicit server support, right ? Filters are supported by all standard j2ee web severs. You neednt write a single line of code to have your filter modify the response. All you have to write is the actual modification algorithm. However the path you choose, you would have to manually do all the dirty work of transferring the request to the actual resource (using HttpUrlConnection). You should receive each request params and convey that to the resource being accessed and so on. (see #2 above)
Hope all that helps.
cheers,
ram.

How can I display the HTML page from servlet which is called by an applet

How can I display the HTML page from servlet which is called by an
applet using the doPost method. If I print the response i can able to see the html document. How I can display it in the browser.
I am calling my struts action class from the applet. I want to show the response in the same browser.
Code samples will be appreciated.

hi
I got one way for this .
call a javascript in showDocument() to submit the form

No longer able to adjust the length of a video clip in imovie 6 HD

Without warning (or reason) I can no longer adjust the length of a video clip (new or old) in imovie. I've tried the old way of highlighting the clip and putting the cursor at the start or end, but the cursor doesn't change. I've also tried double clicking on the clip but then the length is fixed.
This problems happens in new and old movies and remained after I deleted and reinstalled imovie.

I searched further using the correct word (trim) and found that I had to turn off the audio levels

How do I adjust the size of program fonts to accommodate low vision users?

Is it possible to adjust the size of program text to accommodate low vision users, like an enlarge text button or CTRL + zoom text function like in my browser?
I know I am not the first person to approach this issue. Since PSE 5 the text sizes have been getting smaller each version and even harder to read, and now that screens are much larger, it makes the menu text even smaller. I predict that by v. 20, users will have to just memorize where to put their cursor to click on a menu item.
I have already adjusted my system text sizes to 175% but it does no good for PSE, if I use the zoom entire screen, I can only view 1/4 of the workspace at a time. There really should be an easy way to personalize your workspace. I have to reduce my screen resolution to 800x600 and change back to 1920x1080 to view the item in it's intended location each time I edit or create images and cannot work on the document that I am creating or editing a graphic at the same time. What a huge inconvenience.
I have resorted to keeping my binoculars next to my computer for just this reason. Picture it... binoculars to select anything on a menu. In a way I feel like a prisoner. Who are the quality control people, anyone that suffers with low vision? The last major problem I had to live with, PSE 10's gray on black! Find the scroll button when your eyes are tired! LOL.
There are major reasons why I stick to PSE too, so changing programs is not a viable option for me.

I am assuming that you are on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Not sure if there is another way, but the way that works for me
a. right click the computer taskbar, and click on Cascade Windows
b. in the Premiere Elements Expert workspace, go the the bottom right edge of the workspace view, place the mouse cursor at that point until its tip has a diagonal icon, and then drag upward right to left diagonally to give some view of the desktop where I have the file for the drag and drop into Premiere Elements....then drag and drop the supported file into the Timeline or Project Assets or a drag and drop location.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thank you.

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
Cheers

What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?

I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all. The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way. The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms.
I just don't understand that. How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?

Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
History lesson:
Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms.

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response. These informations are generated in the FormName.err file. If its not the error, then why its not generating for other forms. As I mentioned earlier, this fom has DML sources by the Database Procedures, that could be the reason ?, this is my first project in Forms.

I want better solution for adjusting the Material stock values for the last

my Customer need to adjust( Decrease) the closing stock values for the following materials / plant wise as on 31.03.2006 for meeting statuary compliance.
Material1 : RS: 4149599    QTY : 10181.03 Ltrs
Material 2 : RS: 1318596     QTY: 2152.76   Ltrs
As per my knowledge MM posting periods can open current month and Previous month only. For the reason I proposed the solution as follows:
Step 1 : post FI Journal Entry on 31.03.2006
Opening Balance G/L Account Dr 4149599 + 1318596
Closting Stock a/c                      Cr 4149599 + 1318596
Step 2.
Change the Material Price in MM through T.Code: MR21
( Posting will be allowed in current or previous months)
This makes our CO reports accurate.
Please suggest the better solution if it is possible in MM for adjusting the Material stock values for the last financial year.

Hi Madhavan,
Unfortunately this forum deals with migrations from non-Oracle
environments to Oracle. You seem to be dealing with migrations in
an Oracle environment mainly.
I would recommend that you contact Oracle Applications and RDBMS
support directly. They will have the most up to date
