Applet-to-Servlet results in a new browser window

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to show a page generated by some servlet in a new browser window when the button is clicked on the applet. I can accomplish that by using AppletContext as in:
myApplet.getAppletContext().showDocument(servletUrl, "_blank");
The only problem with this is that I don't have any control over how the new browser window is displayed. Using JavaScript I can set size, hide toolbar and address bar, etc. But how can I hide address bar on a new browser window generated in this scenario?
I tried to call intermediate servlet from my applet which in turn generates a new window by writing out JavaScript code. This way I lose my previous page with the applet even though a new window is displayed the way I wanted but I want this new browser window to act as a pop-up box and my applet page stay on screen. Also, is there a way to send a POST request from an applet by using AppletContext.showDocument() method?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Y.M.

Hi,
You can specify an intermediary html which inturn will make the call to servlet.
myApplet.getAppletContext().showDocument(html,
"_blank");
in the HTML onload make a call to servletURL using
self.open(servletURL, "_self", options);
in the options you can specify size, toolbar, etc.
Hope this helps.

Outputting Servlet information to a new browser window

I have a simple form that has a few input text fields and a button. When the button is clicked, the information is submitted to a servlet that uses the information to generate XML and display it on the browser window.
My question is that is it possible to output the XML to a new browser window not the one where the information was submitted from?
Example, I submit some information, a new window pops up displaying the XML. The form window remains as is and outputs a submitted message.
Any code would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rizwan

well thats realy not a servlet q, but a html/jsp q..
your form submit should go to the same page as the form resides on..
in your servlet you process and prepare the response
in your formpage you should detect when a submit has taken place (request.getParam... some variable added in your response prepare
if this is the case, use java script to open a new page (also posting your response information)

When "Use Google Instant", "Open search results in a new browser window." does not function.

In the "Google Search Setting", if select "Do not use Google Instant", then the selected search result of Google Search will be displayed in a new window, but if "Use Google Instant", the selected result will replace Google Search window. This problem does not exist when using Chrome Browser.

That does what it says - even if Google tells the browser to open the page in a new window, you have told Firefox to ignore that and open it in a new tab. Uncheck the box and you should get the result you want.

Setting preferences in Google search ... I can't get the "Open search results in a new browser window." setting to stick. It seems to revert randomly to the unset state. Other settings stick fine. Any ideas?

Cookies settings:
tracking not selected;
Use custom setting for history selected;
permanent browsing not selected;
remember download not selected;
remember search and form selected;
accept cookies and accept 3rd party selected;
keep until expired ...
Clearing history settings:
History ... browsing, download, active and cache selected
forms and search, cookies not selected
Data ... offline and site pref selected ; saved pwds not selected

It's not an issue of whether the user saves or does not save the preferences, there are several factors that could be causing this. The KB link I posted above explains the issue & solution in detail.

Anand, thank You very much!
"In your page, is "View request result" a link ?
If yes then
click on "Personalize Page" link which is at the top right corner of the page. Select "Complete View" radio button and click on "Expand All" link. Search for item "link". If your page has more than one link then choose the link item which is related to "View request result". Click on "Personalize" pencil icon corresponding to "link" item/region. Change the "Target Frame" property value to "_blank" under "Site" level. Click on "Apply" button.
-Anand"
This is a great power in "Personalize Page"!
I make solution in this steps:
1. Activate personalization to user, by setting profile "Yes" value on user level:
Personalize Self-Service Defn / FND_CUSTOM_OA_DEFINTION
2. Personalize 2 regions items (Image & Link)
( Don't ask me how !!! ;)
Image have not Target Property. I move URI to Link Region Item and remove in step 4 from Image Region Item.
3. Export page and my region
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.exporter.XMLExporter /oracle/apps/fnd/cp/viewreq/webui/CPViewRequestPG -rootdir $APPL_TOP/personalizations -username apps -password *** -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp) (host = localhost)(port = 1521)))(connect_data = (sid = prod)))"
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.exporter.XMLExporter /oracle/apps/fnd/cp/viewreq/webui/customizations/site/0/CPViewRequestPG -rootdir $APPL_TOP/personalizations -username apps -password ***-dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp) (host = localhost)(port = 1521)))(connect_data = (sid = prod)))"
4. Modify in notepad /oracle/apps/fnd/cp/viewreq/webui/CPViewRequestPG.xml (remove URI from Image Region Item) from this file.
5. Install script script for PROD like this:
cp -R personalizations $APPL_TOP
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $APPL_TOP/personalizations/oracle/apps/fnd/cp/viewreq/webui/CPViewRequestPG.xml -username apps -password *** -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp) (host = localhost)(port = 1521)))(connect_data = (sid = prod)))" -rootdir $APPL_TOP/personalizations
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $APPL_TOP/personalizations/oracle/apps/fnd/cp/viewreq/webui/customizations/site/0/CPViewRequestPG.xml -username apps -password *** -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp) (host = localhost)(port = 1521)))(connect_data = (sid = prod)))" -rootdir $APPL_TOP/personalizations
6. After install on PROD, You need to "bounce the apache". Additionally, it need to modify / upply button once on a region link. Right now I can not explain exactly, how it helps... But finnaly changes after 'XMLImporter' command will applyed after modify / upply manipulations.

Cache problem for servlet opening new browser window

Requirement:
I have JSP page say summary.jsp with link "print account summary"
When user clicks on this link, new browser open with PDF document of summary.jsp
This new browser window should not have address bar and toolbar.
Solution:
Servlet called PrintSummary which sets contenttype=application/pdf and sends the data to outputstream.
href of link is
Java script function is:
function openWindow(url){
window.open(url,'blank','toolbar=no')
Problem:
Since the URL of this new window is
http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary
Even if I click the "Print summary" link for account2,
being the same URL (http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary) it accesses the existing page in the cache which is created for account 1.
In href if I just use servlet url as
I get the expected behaviour but then I don't have control on browser appearance and browser window will be with address bar and toolbar.
The only option I could think of was changing URL as follows:
<% String url ="javascript:openWindow('PrintSummary? var1="+ Math.random()+"')";
So that URL is different all the time
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
M.

I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
popup.

Opening a servlet in new browser window

Does anyone know how you can make a servlet open in a a new browser window when clicking a link for that servlet.
cheers

Hi..
do
window.open("http://localhost:8080//yourservlet-path//servlet-name");
you can also set window properties, they are passed as parameters to window.open
see syntax of window.open. but this thing will open your servlet in a new window with default properties.

Opening driving directions in new browser window

I have installed the Web Assist Google Pro Maps extension and
would like for the div containing the driving directions results:

However, when I open the tag inspector, it says "locked
region" for the Google maps divs, even though I detached the php
page from the template. Any ideas?

How can I open a new browser window!!! Very Challenging!!!

I have a form (name=MAIN) with a submit button (name=Button A). Button A opens a new browser window (name=SEARCH), via an HTML form target tag (<FORM TARGET=A>). Window SEARCH has multiple submit buttons (10-15). Each button has a different action which is handled by a servlet (form name and button name are passed to a servlet as a hidden field in the form to determine the action), which is setup to be an action handler. When a button in the SEARCH window is clicked the results are retrieved from an Oracle database and should be displayed in the text fields in window MAIN.
For example, some results may be displayed in window SEARCH (_self) and and other results may be required to be sent to window MAIN depending on the button clicked.
How can I setup window SEARCH so each button can have a different target window (some may be window MAIN or other windows)? Using a form tag for each button doesn't give desirable results. Is there a way to do this with JSP or some form of Java code?
A form tag can only have one target. Basically I have one form with multiple submit buttons. How can I get it to send each submit buttons results to a specific window?
Thanks.


<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function mysubmit(mytarget){
document.myform.target=mytarget;
document.myform.submit();
function validation(myform){
//validation stuff
return [true | false];
</script>
<form target='none' name='myform' action='myaction.jsp' method='post' [onsubmit='return validation(this)']>
<input type=button name='submit1' value='submit1' onclick='mysubmit("target1")'>
<input type=button name='submit2' value='submit2' onclick='mysubmit("target2")'>
<input type=button name='submit3' value='submit3' onclick='mysubmit("target3")'>
<input type=button name='submit4' value='submit4' onclick='mysubmit("target4")'>
</form>

Opening remote page in new browser window

Hi there,
my applet used the browser window as its frame, that means there is nothing else but the applet. I need to call a page from the same server as the applet resides, but to display the page in a new browser window. The following code could do the job, but caused the browser to block the popup.
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL
                        ("http://mydomain/mypage.jsp"),"_blank");I'm wondering whether I could access a servlet from my applet and let the servlet accomplish this and how to.
It would be also of interest whether it is possible to do the same with a page from a remote server and triggering the client to display the page in a new window.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Open discoverer report in new browser window and without connections page

Hi All,
We are using Oracle 11g Discoverer 11.1.1.4. Requirement is to open the discoverer report in a new browser window and without connections page.
When we are running discoverer reports with this parameters we unwantedly get the connections page of the discoverer plus which we don't want.
Went through the documentation given in this page and followed it still the issue persists, and i see couple of threads with my issue and no updates.
This excerpt is from the documentation available in the link
" _plus_popup=true and framedisplaystyle=embedded launches Discoverer Plus in a new pop-up browser window that contains the Plus applet embedded in it "
http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/oas10g1012/linux/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
and Here is what we use to invoke our reports.

Thanks in advance

New browser window with javascript

Hello,
I'm trying to accomplish something similar to what has been
discussed in other threads (Jess Learnin, 9/30/2008, and another
thread from back in '07). I've tried the advice given in these
threads and have had no luck. I would like to create a button to
call a new browser window that displays a URL of my choosing. I'd
like to specify the size and attributes of the new window. I've
created a small dummy tutorial in order to work on this feature.
I'm using the "Execute Javascript" option when configuring
the button. I include the following javascript:
window.open('
http://lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/index.html',
'myWindow','height=400, width=700, toolbar=no');
I have the Captivate button context set to "Current". I have
deselected "Continue Playing Project" (though I've tried it with
that option selected as well).
I've tried prefacing the script w/
"javascript:window.open...", but no luck.
I'm testing the file on a development server, rather than
from a local copy. When I test in Firefox, my movie simply stops
when I click the button, without opening a new window or loading a
web page. When I test in IE7, the movie stops and I get a message,
"Error on page"; still no new window.
I do notice that I'm currently running Flash Player 10. I'm
using Captivate 3. When I publish my file, my options only go up to
Flash Player 9, which is what I have chosen. I don't know if this
would make a difference.
I have also tried altering the standard.js file in the manner
that jbradley88 suggested in the 9/30/08 thread, and using the
corresponding javascript in the button properties window, with
similar unsuccessful results.
I have tried running the movie on a different computer, in
case some local setting was somehow mucking things up. I get
nothing.
Any suggestions? If anyone's willing to take a look, I can
send along my small dummy .cp file that I've been working on.
Thanks in advance.
-Kelly

Hi John,
Here's the exact javascript that I currently have associated
with the button:
void(window.open('
http://lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/index.html',
'myWindow','height=400, width=700, toolbar=no'));
I've tried multiple permutations, including placing
"javascript:" in front of the script, both with and without the
void().
The message in IE7 just says "Error on page". It's not a
pop-up message; it's just the small message that appears at the
bottom left of the browser window in IE7 when a page fails to load
properly. The message doesn't appear until I click on the button
that's supposed to call the javascript. There's a yellow
exclamation point icon that appears next to the "Error on page"
message. When I click on that I get:
"Problems with this Web page might prevent it from being
displayed properly or functioning properly. In the future, you can
display this message by double-clicking the warning icon displayed
in the status bar."
It also displays a pointer to the error:
Line: 1
Char: 111
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
URL:
http://library11.berkeley.edu/bios/kelly/Practice_demo.htm
I looked at the source for the page as displayed by IE7 (have
also looked at the .htm and .js files generated by Captivate) and
haven't seen anything obvious, but I'm somewhat unschooled in such
matters.
If it would help to see what it does, you can view the demo
at the URL above.
Thx again,
Kelly

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.
