How to call Xcelsius in Java Web application without OpenDoc

Hi,
We require to call Xcelsius Dashboard from a Java Web application. We cann't use OpenDoc function as result of some client preferences/restrictions
Please let me know, what would be the other method to call the Xcelsius Dashboard from a Web application.
Regards,
Sachin

Xcelsius docs are in swf format. You could probably just host them without security and view with flash.

How to store reports on cr server 2008 and view them from web application

Hi, I want to store my rpt files on the crystal reports server, under "Folders", and then from my web application use "CrystalReportViewer" control to show these reports.
Now I setup a crystal reports server 2008 on my server, and install crystal reports 2008 on my client develp machine. I have searched some sample codes from Internet, but many Business Objects dlls they used I could not find from my computer, for example, I can not find infostore dll and Business Objects.sdk. It seems I have to install some sdk to use these objects.
Could you tell if which sdk I have to setup to achieve my goal, or if can give me a sample would be highly appriecatied.

Q. From your information, it likes this function above can not be done now?
A. At the moment, the only way you can view reports stored on CR Server 2008 are with the Java SDK or OpenDocument.
OpenDocument may be a nice option for you, as there would not be much programming involved. Please see this documentation for information how to use this. Please note that in CR Server 2008, you will be using Java OpenDocument.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf
Q. can use CR server XI instead, this version has been a while, so certainly has .net sdk available for realize this function, does'nt it?
A. CR Server XI has the .NET SDK. You can find .NET samples here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-sdklibrary
Q. I download CRRedist2008_x86.msi and install it on my develope machine, from the instruction said it will install lots of .net dll on my computer, but I just can not find them, do you know where they are?
A. It should install the necessary files to C:Program FilesBusiness Objects
You can find more information about the Crystal Reports .NET distributables in the CR .NET help file, in the deployment chapter:

Integrating a Java web application into the SAP NetWeaver Portal

Hello experts,
We have a requirement to integrate a Java based web application into the SAP NetWeaver Portal using iView/iFrame technology. The Java based web application is completely independent from the SAP environment but should be displayed as part of the SAP Portal environment. The other requirement is the main navigation menu for the Java based web application should be configured and provided in the SAP Portal.
Any pointers on how exactly this can be done would be of great help.
Also how can the SSO (Single-Sign-On) to the Java application be implemented so that the user can logon to the java application through the portal without providing the user credentials again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think you can use URL iviews to integrate your java web application with EP. you have the option of doing SSO with the application as well.
Have a look at the sap help material

Can't connect to Oracle XE instance from Java web application

I'm a long-time Java developer but can't figure this out.
I've been pouring over the forum for over a week and can't
find the solution that will let me connect.
Hardware: Intel/Vista.
DB: Oracle Express 10G.
Application: Java web application (Jakarta Struts)
Application Server: Tomcat 5.5
I copied the latest JDBC driver from OTN into my app server's "/LIB" directory.
I get no driver errors. ("ojdbc14.JAR)"
I can connect locally from my TOAD client, using SYSTEM/PASSWORD/XE.
My listeners seem to be OK.
Depending on which connection string I use from my Java application,
I get one of two messages.
"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied"
OR

    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select BANNER from SYS.V_$VERSION");
    while (rset.next())
        System.out.println (rset.getString(1));   // Print col 1

}There are several different ways to configure OracleDataSources:

So, hopefully it's just a mismatch config.

Upgrading BOE XI R2 Java Web Applications to use BOE XI 3.1

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get documentation about how to update Java Web Applications using BOE XI R2 to BOE XI 3.1? I search the documentation online and I couldn't find any.
I believe that it should be a matter of just updating the Java Archve (JAR) files and the helper files in the 'crystalreportviewers' folder. There should not be any changes to how I use the Enterprise SDK, RAS and Viewers SDK. If there are any, there should be very few. I just want to make sure of this.
Thanks,
R.C.

Hi,
Upgrading the Jar files and viewers directory ( crystalreportviewers12) should be sufficient. Please refer to 3.1 Java developer guide for ,pre information.
Thanks

How can make java servlet sent soap message to other java web application

hello,
i want to make simple servlet send soap message to other java web application containing web service????
for example
web application " A " contain web service add two number
java servlet " B " send soap message contain num1 and num2 to A to add them.
how can do this????

I tried that but my problem is that the code is so old. At least what I saw. I don't know how old is too old and I'm trying to do things "right." I saw code from 1998, but I don't know if that's still what you do. It might still work, but that doesn't mean it's correct. There's so much out there on Java that so old that half the time I'm not sure what to do because some other technology in J2EE or the latest Java SDK might have come up with a new way to do things. Thanks.

Business Objects Enterprise 4.0 java web applications support

Hello experts,
We are in the process of migrating our BOEXI R2 installation to BOE 4.0. To host BOE java web applications , we are targetting our SAP NW CE 7.2 installation, in accordance to the latest BOE PAM.
Now, the PAM mentions that SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 is supported as well.
Our questions:
1. Is SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 = SAP NetWeaver 7.3?
2. Knowing that SAP NetWeaver 7.3 is SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 next release (ref. https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001342562009), if we migrate our SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 to NetWeaver 7.3, than, we should still be supported by SAP, right? ... assuming that the answer to question 1 is yes...
We are confuse with the interpretation of the latest PAM arround the "SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3" statement and if anyone of you experts can help us, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,
The BI4.0 PAR details 2 distinct SAP NW versions which are supported:
SAP NetWeaverCE 7.2 SP3
and;
SAP NetWeaverJavaApplication Server 7.3
You ask:
1. Is SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 = SAP NetWeaver 7.3?
Yes, these are the same products.
2. Knowing that SAP NetWeaver 7.3 is SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 next release (ref. https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001342562009), if we migrate our SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 to NetWeaver 7.3, than, we should still be supported by SAP, right? ... assuming that the answer to question 1 is yes...
Correct, if you migrate from SAP Netweaver CE 7.2 to Netweaver 7.3 you will be supported against BI4.0. The other alternative would be to upgrade your CE 7.2 version to CE 7.2 SP3.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

How to avoid directory listing in java web applications.

how to avoid directory listing in java web applications.
That is on typing the url of the application it should not the directory listing. Welcome tag in web.xml doesnot fully solve the problem, since still the images folder etc is still accessible

I know of two ways.
If you're using tomcat and have access to the conf directory.
Edit your $TOMCAT/conf/web.xml. Find your default servlet properties and change
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>0</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>listings</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>to <servlet>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>0</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>listings</param-name>
      <param-value>false</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>And restart your server. This will affect every directory on the server, and return a 405 directory browsing forbidden error.
Another way, is to place an index.jsp inside each directory with a simple one line redirect to your applications CONTEXT_PATH.response.sendRedirect("http://yourserver/yourapp/");This will only affect specific directories which contain these index.jsp files.
Hope this helps

Good exception handling policy for Java web application

I'm looking for a good exception handling policy for Java web application. First I found this Java exception handling best practices - How To Do In Java which says that you should never catch the Trowable class nor use e.printStackTrace();
Then I found this Oracle page The Message-Driven Bean Class - The Java EE 6 Tutorial, which does just that. So now I'm confused. Is there a good page online for an exception handling policy for Java EE Web applications? I have a hard time finding one. I've read that you should not catch the Exception class. I've been catching it previously to make sure that some unknown exception doesn't slip through early in the loop and stops all other customers from executing later on in the loop. We have a loop which runs once a minute implemented using the Quartz framework. Is it OK if you just change the implementation to catch the RuntimeException class instead of the Exception class? We're using Java 7 and the Jetty Servlet Container.

I'm looking for a good exception handling policy for Java web application.
If you have not done so I suggest you start by reviewing the several trails in The Java Tutorials.
Those trails cover both HOW to use exceptions and WHEN to use them.
This trail discusses the 'controversy' you mention regarding 'Unchecked Exceptions'
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/runtime.html
Unchecked Exceptions — The Controversy
Because the Java programming language does not require methods to catch or to specify unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their subclasses), programmers may be tempted to write code that throws only unchecked exceptions or to make all their exception subclasses inherit from RuntimeException. Both of these shortcuts allow programmers to write code without bothering with compiler errors and without bothering to specify or to catch any exceptions. Although this may seem convenient to the programmer, it sidesteps the intent of the catch or specify requirement and can cause problems for others using your classes.
Why did the designers decide to force a method to specify all uncaught checked exceptions that can be thrown within its scope? Any Exception that can be thrown by a method is part of the method's public programming interface. Those who call a method must know about the exceptions that a method can throw so that they can decide what to do about them. These exceptions are as much a part of that method's programming interface as its parameters and return value.
The next question might be: "If it's so good to document a method's API, including the exceptions it can throw, why not specify runtime exceptions too?" Runtime exceptions represent problems that are the result of a programming problem, and as such, the API client code cannot reasonably be expected to recover from them or to handle them in any way. Such problems include arithmetic exceptions, such as dividing by zero; pointer exceptions, such as trying to access an object through a null reference; and indexing exceptions, such as attempting to access an array element through an index that is too large or too small.
Generally don't catch an exception unless you plan to HANDLE the exception. Logging, by itself is NOT handliing.
First I found this Java exception handling best practices - How To Do In Java which says that you should never catch the Trowable class nor use e.printStackTrace();
That article, like many, has some good advice and some poor or even bad advice. You get what you pay for!
I've read that you should not catch the Exception class.
Ok - but all that does is indicate that a problem of some sort happened somewhere. Not very useful info. Java goes to a lot of trouble to provide specific exceptions for specific problems.
I've been catching it previously to make sure that some unknown exception doesn't slip through early in the loop and stops all other customers from executing later on in the loop.
If the exception is 'unknown' then maybe it NEEDS to 'stop all other customers from executing later on in the loop'.
That is EXACTLY why you don't want to do that. You need to identify which exceptions should NOT stop processing and which ones should.
Some 'unknown' exceptions can NOT be recovered and indicate a serious problem, perhaps with the JVM itself. You can NOT just blindly keep executing and ignore them without risking data corruption and/or the integrity of the entire system Java is running on.
Is it OK if you just change the implementation to catch the RuntimeException class instead of the Exception class? We're using Java 7 and the Jetty Servlet Container.
No - not if you want a well-behaved system.
Don't catch exceptions unless you HANDLE/resolve them. There are times when it makes sense to log the exception (which does NOT handle it) and then raise it again so that it gets handled properly later. Yes - I know that is contrary to the advice given in that article but, IMHO, that article is wrong about that point.
If you have ever had to maintain/fix/support someone else's Java code you should already understand how difficult it can be to find WHERE a problem occurs and WHAT the exact problem is when exceptions are not handled properly.

High thread context switching for java web application

We have been load testing our java web application and observe high cpu usage with 50 users (which doesn't seem practical). The CPU shoots up above 80%. While profiling it with java flight recording (JFR) we see that the context switch rate is 8400 per second (as seen in the Hot threads tab on java mission control). Analyzing the hot threads in jfr, it seems the cpu usage is distributed across the application threads with each thread using less than 3% cpu.
Increasing the user load to 100, 150 or 200 users we see the cpu shooting up above 90%, the throughput (transactions per second) remaining constant (as seen for 50 users load) while the response time crosses the acceptable threshold values (3 sec). Decreasing the user load to 20 users shows the cpu usage averages out to be above 55%. It certainly isn't true that the application threads are using up the cpu since our application is not a CPU bound application. The Hot Packages tab under Code tab group confirms this by showing that most of the time the application spends in is executing database queries.
We use glassfish 3.1.2.2 as our application server where the max thread pool is configured to be of 100. Oracle Linux Server release 6.4 is our operating system with linux kernel version as 2.6.39-400.214.4.el6uek.x86_64. I tried executing linux commands namely "watch -n0.5 pidstat -w -I -p " and "watch -n.5 grep ctxt /proc//status" to see the voluntary and involuntary thread context switching at OS level but they don't give any results.
Suspecting that high context switching could be causing the cpu to shoot up, do you have guidelines on what could be done to confirm that thread context switching is the cause of high cpu and what are there ways to tune the jvm or the application if that's the cause?
Thanks!

Kelum -
We just saw this issue today for the first time. Have you been able to find a cause?
We upgraded our 32bit Windows operating systems this weekend to use the /3GB flag. Since then, we have seen that our servers have ample heap space, but are dangerously low in PTE memory.
But when we've been diagnosing the state of the server that produced this error (we run 2 nodes on 3 different computers; only 1 produced this error; the other 5 are working normally), everything looked fine. The server was reporting sufficient PTE availablility, plenty of heap space, and around 172 threads (we expect to be able to run many more than that).
When we restarted the node, it came up fine and everything appeared to be working normally.
So I'm looking for any clue as to the root cause, and what kind of resolution to explore. Any clues or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

How to define JAXP Parsers and Transformer in a Web Application Context

Hi
I need to define JAXP Parsers and Transformer in a Web Application Context where I can deploy this application in any J2EE Application Server without modifying the server. That means that I can't set System properties or set the jaxp.properties file. I tried to use the META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory file but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Can I setup a Java Web Application on Business Catalyst?

I wanted to know if I can upload a Java Web Application on to Business Catalyst. What kind of features are supported, etc, for Java Developers, ex. Spring, Jar Integration, etc.
Thank You.

Hi there,
No you cant. You can not install any server side programming on BC. It is a closed system. it is also .NET based.
