Agent filter location in web.xml for websphere v7.0

In the document:
Sun OpenSSO Enterprise Policy Agent 3.0 Guide for IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1/7.0 and WebSphere Portal Server 6.1
I'm and tying to do this part:
Installing the Agent Filter for the WebSphere Application Server 6.1/7.0 Administration Console
for my WebSphere 7.0 installation.
My issue is the placement of the second filter.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Agent</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
the doc says to put it under:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>WSCUrlFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>WSCUrlFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/federatedlogoff</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
however, my Websphere 7.0 web.xml does not have this section in the file.
Can some one assist me with proper placement?
here is the first few lines of my xml:

See below. You just have additional probe filters.

I guess the reason was that I wrote

</login-config>
instead of required
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
At deploy time, I got no error message. At usage time, I just got this AccessLocalException. That's not really nice ...

Regular Expression Filter Mapping In Web.xml

I have a situation where I need to filter URL's that don't have a file extension. There are hundreds of URL's, so i can't specify each one separately.
From what I understand, you can have a filter mapping in web.xml to map certain file extensions to a filter, such as :
<filter>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.filters.MyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.esi</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
...where all files of extension .esi go through the filter. Additionally, I want to map all url's WITHOUT a file extension to pass through this filter. So if I have a request for "http://myserver.com/home" it will pass through the filter.
Does weblogic support regular expressions for pattern matching in filter-mapping? If so, can you provide examples or links to documentation?
Thanks,
Jim

No, regular expressions are not supported. You can specify the mapping with extensions, or with paths, not at the same time in the same mapping specification. However, you can specify two servlet mappings, one with extension, and one with path.
The exact wording from the spec (2.4) is as follows:
In the Web application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used to define
mappings:
• A string beginning with a ‘/’ character and ending with a ‘/*’ suffix is used
for path mapping.
• A string beginning with a ‘*.’ prefix is used as an extension mapping.
• A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates the "default" servlet of
the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context
path and the path info is null.
• All other strings are used for exact matches only.

I've used this before, and it worked fine. The only difference I can see is that you have a url-pattern element in the filter-mapping config.
In the short term, try removing that and see if it then works.

What is Wrong with my filter and filter-mapping in web.xml?

First, thanks all for your attention.
I have checked the place where I should place <filter> and <filter-mapping> in web.xm. They should be after the <display-name>, before <servlet> and <servlet-mapping>.
However, as soon as I insert the <filter> and <filter-mapping> elements in my web.xml, all my struts-bean.tld, struts-html.tld, etc. in the web.xml cannot be found at the runtime.
Please help in identifying the problem. Thank you.

Filters were introduced in the servlet 2.3 specification (j2ee 1.3) - http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/Filters.html.
Your web.xml constraints your web application to adhere to 2.2 standards (according to your DOCTYPE definition in your web.xml). Change it to conform to 2.3 standards
<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
        //your definitions
</web-app>Note : Your container should support the 2.3 spec (Tomcat 4.0 and above does, I guess)

Do we need to put the following code in the web-xml for the project to run

Hi^^^,
actually I have created a project in Eclipse WTP and I am running it from remote server. Its giving me 404 error when I tried to run it.
I know 404 error is generally due to some error in deployment descriptor.
I am going through this tutorial for creating project in eclipse WTP
this says that I need to include the following code in web-xml. Please look at the quotes below
"Web modules in J2EE has a deployment descriptor where you configure the web application and its components. This deployment descriptors is called the web.xml. According to the J2EE specification, it must be located in the WEB-INF folder. web.xml must have definitions for the Servlet and the Servlet URI mapping. Enter the following lines into web.xml:"
"Listing 2. Deployment Descriptor web.xml"
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.eclipse.wtp.tutorial.SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/snoop/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
My question is, it is necessary to include the above lines between <servlet> and </servlet-mapping> in web-xml
thanks and regards,
Prashant

I know 404 error is generally due to some error in deployment descriptor. what's the url you've put.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.eclipse.wtp.tutorial.SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet> Every Servlet has to have a <servlet></Servlet> tag in the web.xml
the <servlet-name>is for the naming the servlet and the <servlet-calss>is for class file of the servlet in your case the .class file is to be in the package of tutorial,if it's not then how the container will no where the calss file is
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/snoop/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>You type something in your url likk http://localhost:8080/webappname (Tomcat server),so for url mapping instead of typing the entire class file name ,you just enough have to type what you've put in the <url-mapping> tag and it has to be inside of <servlet-mapping>
I think the problem is in <url-pattern> change it like /snoop<url-pattern>
My question is, it is necessary to include the above lines between <servlet> and ></servlet->mapping> in web.xmlSo now you think whether you need something inside <servlet>and </servlet-mapping>

Configuing web.xml for using JSTL tags in WAS

Hi All
I have an application deployed in websphere.
After extracting jakarta-taglibs-standard-current.zip I copied the jar files ( from the \jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\lib folder) to the web-inf\lib folder.
Then I saved the c.tld ( from the jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\tld folder) to the \web-inf\taglibs\ folder
Then I modified the web.xml to include
       <taglib>
             <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
             <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location>
      </taglib>The problem is when i restart the application from the WAS administrative console. The application does not restart with the error
Exception:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectException--------
com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ExecutionException: Command HostPubServer.start Sub-command Error.     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.AbstractCommand.handleAct(AbstractCommand.java:288)

     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ThreadPool$PooledThread.run(ThreadPool.java:89)
When I remove the " <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location> " I am able to restart the application. But the path is right.. and the tld is ther. What cud be the issue here ??
Any thoughts ??
Thanks

Hi
The position of the tablig tag in web.xml was wrong. So it was not validated according to the dtd specification. I placed the tag after the errortag in the web.xml and it resolved the issue.

Example web.xml for JSTL?

I need to find an example web.xml file that shows where thet tablib statements for JSTL go and what they look like in a web.xml file. I was looking at an article I found through Google that pointed to Javasoft doc on this subject but the link didn't work, and anyway, I prefer examples to specifications. I haven't found a good example yet. Can someone point me to one or post one? I need both contents of the taglib statements and a clear picture of exactly where in the web.xml file they go. I think the statements are:
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/fmt.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>

<taglib>

</taglib>Thanks.

Just to confirm
- what server/version are you deploying on where it doesn't work?
- what server do you have that it does work on? Is it the same?
- you have both standard.jar and jstl.jar? Check the version by opening with a zip tool and looking at the manifest.mf file.
- what URI are you using to import the tag libraries with?
To install JSTL, all you need is jstl.jar and standard.jar, in a place where the webapp can find them.
Most commonly is the WEB-INF/lib directory
Most servers also have a "shared" directory idea - eg tomcat has the /common/lib and /shared/lib directories. The JSTL jars will work just as well in those directories.

Servlet Filters not following filter mapping in web.xml

Hi Experts,
I have two Servlet filters SetCharacterEncodingFilter and LASBackOfficeAuthFilter which are mapped in such a way that SetCharacterEncodingFilter gets called before LASBackOfficeAuthFilter(This is done in web.xml using filter mapping).
I have code in SetCharacterEncodingFilter init() method to read and store the few parameters from a table , it also creates a new thread to montior db changes in these paremeters . LASBackOfficeAuthFilter reads a those parameters set after SetCharacterEncodingFilter initialization. This is failing in Weblogic Version: 10.3.2.0 because the LASBackOfficeAuthFilter init method gets called before SetCharacterEncodingFilter init method.
This is filter mapping order is working fine In Web Sphere and Tomcat 6 .
The web.xml filter mapping is given below .
     <filter>

No, regular expressions are not supported. You can specify the mapping with extensions, or with paths, not at the same time in the same mapping specification. However, you can specify two servlet mappings, one with extension, and one with path.
The exact wording from the spec (2.4) is as follows:
In the Web application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used to define
mappings:
• A string beginning with a ‘/’ character and ending with a ‘/*’ suffix is used
for path mapping.
• A string beginning with a ‘*.’ prefix is used as an extension mapping.
• A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates the "default" servlet of
the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context
path and the path info is null.
• All other strings are used for exact matches only.

How to create a simple web.xml for using servlets

Hello i wanna configure the web.xml that i can use sevlets and beans, but how can i do that?
This is de directorie i have installed my webapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\testapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\test\WEB-INF\classes (in this dir, I wanna put my beans and servlets, I got one servlet and the name is LogIn.class).
And i wanna request my servlets with the url http://localhost:8080/testapp/servlet/LogIn
How can i create a very basic web.xml with working beans, servlets and session? It is for testing-use only, so the security is not important for me at this moment.
Tnx

under your web-inf
in your web.xml file you must map
the servlets
under the <web-app> tag type
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.LogIn</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/LogIn</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>ps: start using some IDE such as NetBeans or Ecclipse
since they will take care of mapping all servlets and Beans
and generate all the necessary files for your web-app

Eclipse editor gives error for web.xml for jsp-config

Hi All,
I am using following web.xml . Eclipse europa editor gives warning if <jsp-config> is added. Is anyone have idea about it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

     <servlet>

</servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RequestHandler</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>cart.loginUser</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<jsp-config>
     <jsp-property-group>
     <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
               <scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
     </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
</web-app>

Your web.xml file is out of date.
You have a DTD there for the Servlet 2.2 spec.
The jsp-config tag was introduced to web.xml as of the Servlet 2.4 specification - which is why it is complaining in your editor.
Seeing as you have Tomcat 6, I would recommend you change your web.xml to look like this
- removed the DTD
- change the web-app tag to include schema information
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5">
<display-name>Cart</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RequestHandler</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.amazon.helper.LoginListener</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RequestHandler</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>cart.loginUser</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>

Modifying web.xml for a custom tag

Hello all, I'm trying to create a custom tag, and I'm having trouble trying to understand some elements of web.xml. Can someone tell me in detail what <taglib-uri> is? I know <taglib-location> is the directory where the .tld file is stored.
Also, is there anywhere online where I could find out more about the different compinents of web.xml? (I can't find any good websites).
Thanks a lot.

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/mytags</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/mytags.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>That means that your tag libaray definition is located at /root/mytags.tld. Some people put them in the WEB-INF, which would make it /root/WEB-INF/mytags.tld.
The taglib-uri is how you are going to reference it in your JSP. With the above setup, here is how you would reference in your JSP
<%@ taglib uri="/mytags" prefix="myTagPrefix" %>
<myTagPrefix:mySpecialTag/>
Hope this helps.
