Bad Request while calling servlet from MIDlet

Hi All,
I am trying to call a servlet(running on Tomcat) thru my MIDP application using HttpConnection. But I am getting "Bad Request" error 400. The code is as given below:
package myTests;
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
public class Hello extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
private Display display;
private Form props;
private StringBuffer propbuf;
private Command exitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1);
* Construct a new HelloObject.
public Hello() {
     display = Display.getDisplay(this);
public void startApp() {
     propbuf = new StringBuffer(50);
     props = new Form("System Properties");
HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
try {
c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open("http://127.0.0.1:8080/gsf/servlet/HelloServlet", Connector.READ);
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
is = c.openInputStream();
props.append(c.getResponseMessage());
props.append(c.getURL());
props.append(c.getRequestMethod());
props.append((new Long(c.getLength())).toString());
catch( Exception e)
props.append(e.getMessage());
     props.addCommand(exitCommand);
     props.setCommandListener(this);
     display.setCurrent(props);
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
     if (c == exitCommand) {
     destroyApp(false);
     notifyDestroyed();
public void pauseApp() {
     display.setCurrent(null);
     propbuf = null;
     props = null;
* Destroy must cleanup everything.
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thanks,
Neel

Hi GaRRy,
Thanks for responding.
1) Yes, I want to use the GET method. If I type the url that I've put to Connector.open() in the browser, it gives the following output:
Servlet invoked!
Mon Sep 24 12:45:44 EDT 2001
But when I run the emulator it gives the following output
OK
http://127.0.0.1:8080/gsf/servlet/HelloServlet
GET -1
2) I don't know why, but the error log does not show any error for this request on the http server. (I am using Tomcat.). Also I am sure that the doGet method of the servlet gets called as it prints the debug message.
Thanks,
Neel

C:import tag - Query string while calling servlet from JSP

Hi,
From my JSP I am calling a servlet to write back to the response stream of the JSP. From the JSP i am trying to pass some values into the query string as follows
     <%
     String strGetParameters = "/servlet/MyServlet?path=" + strPath;
      %>
     <pre><c:import url="<%=strGetParameters%>" /></pre>In the servlet I try to get the path from the query string by using
request.getParameter("path")But in the servlet the query string doesnt have the "path" parameter that I added in the strGetParameters string (in the JSP).
Am i missing something? Do i have to use something else or do something else?
Any help is appreciated.

Calling servlets from main()?

Hi
I would like to know that while calling servlets from another class having main(), how can we set the type of request i.e. put, post or get?
Thanks

use the method - setRequestMethod( "POST") of HttpURLConnection for setting the method to POST.Similarly for other methods..
You could find [url http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2004/tt0210.html#2]this useful

Calling servlet from a java program

Hi
I need to call a servlet's doPost() method from a java program. I have a specific situation, where I need to call servlet from a java program. DUring this call I need to pass a file and two string to the servlet. Servelt after receiving the file and string uploads the file to the server at a specified location. I am stuck up as how to call servlet from a java program instead of a HTML or JSP.
Can anyone help me to start with this.
any suggestion is welcome.

You have to establish a URLConnection with servlet from your java program.
URL servletURL = new URL("http://localhost:8080/Myservlet?str1=abc&str2=def");
URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();you can get the objectOutputStream
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream (servletConnection.getOutputStream());
oos.writeObject(your file object);-------------------------------------------------
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str1");
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str2");
file = new ObjectInputStream (request.getInputStream()).readObject()a lot of resources are available on this ...
hope this helps :)

Calling Servlet from a java prog?

Hi all,
I am calling servlet from a java prog (Java Agent in Lotus Notes) by using URL and URLConnection object. how can i trigger the Servlet By using doPost method .I have to send some parameter also.
Thanx
Muthu

you need to open a connection to the servlet. Then you must call getInputStream() and getOutputStream() and use them in any way you see fit. I was trying this before and could not get POST to work unless I openned the input stream from the servlet. Strange... but doGet worked without openning the input stream???
// open a connection....
// write to the servlet
servletConnection.getOutputStream().write("whatever");
servletConnection.getOutputStream().flush();
servletConnection.getOutputStream().close();
// grab what the servlet sends back, required to do a post.
byte [] in = new byte[100];
servletConnection.getInputStream().read(in);
servletConnection.getInputStream().close();

Maintain session when calling servlet from form in a JSP

I have the following set up:
index.jsp calls login servlet from the action tag in a form.
Login servlet handles the login, stores the user info and db connection in the session and uses forward(req,res) to call another jsp.
That jsp has a form where user enters search info and in that form's action tag there is a search servlet. In the search servlet I am unable to access the session.
Is there any way to pass the session to the servlet from that jsp using a form/action?

I've read elsewhere that if you go from a jsp to a servlet that the >request object is cleared of any attributes from the previous request.which is correct. But arent we speaking about session object here? A request object is valid for a request - ie the phase from where the server receieves a hit for a resource upto the point it sends the output for that request.
A session spans multiple requests.
it doesn't retrieve the session info and gives me a null pointer >exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.Bad bad bad . Why do you store Connection objects in session? Create them when necessary or use a connection pool. Do you for example clean up the connections when the session expires. What if its a 30 minute session and the user hits every say 15 minutes with a request. Why do you need to hold on to the Connection in the intervening interval when the user's session is inactive?
gives me a null pointer exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.which means that the Connection object is null - not the session object.
That last line is where I get the null pointer exception. And that is
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();?
Same answer as above.
If the session object was null,
userSession.getAttribute("connection");would have thrown a NPE.

Very urgent: call servlet from JSP

Hello,
I'm facing a problem in invoking a servlet from a JSP having the JSF components.
The application has a text field to implement ajax for search functionality in the database .I have written a servlet to make the database connection and fire the querry.
Ajax implementation in a js file is called on every keyup event in the jsp file,and
a call is given to the servlet from the ajax methode.
The function in the js file is as follows:-
function getPersonByFirstNameXML( firstName ) {
    if (!firstName) {
        clearPersonByFirstNameXML();
    } else {
        var url = BASE_URL + "/servlet/get_PersonsXML";
        alert(url);
        return new AJAXRequest("post", url, "firstName=" + encode(firstName), processGetPersonByFirstNameXML);
}Im getting the myAJAX.status value as 500.
I think I'm not able to access the servlet properly.
what changes do i need to make in the we.xml file ?
and what should be the url to be passed.
Please provide me a sloution to the above problem as it is very urgent else if anybody is aware of a readymade JSF componet with search functionality freely available please let me know.
PS:
The sample application named RedirectionExample which makes use of a servlet and would be of help to you. You can find the tutorial on the following page:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/codesamples/sampleapps.html
is not available as stated in some of the suggestions by Author: mayagiri
Thanks for any help.
Abhi

the status 500 generally means either HTTP server internal error or that execution of CGI script or servlet aborted with error.
It can be reasonably supposed that the request reaches the servlet, ie. that "url" value points to some existing servlet, otherwise most probably the status value would be 404.
To test that the servlet is working i'd try to access it using some simple html page with form like this (with {BASE_URL} replaced by real value):
<form method=post action={BASE_URL}/servlet/get_PersonsXML>
<input type=text name=firstName>
<input type=Submit>
</form>

Problem calling servlet from within a jsp

I have a servlet which obtains images for a page
http://bychance.ca/servlet/ImageServlet?PhotoId=AJ-LA-4008
I use the servlet from within a jsp
<img src="servlet/ImageServlet?PhotoId=<%=rs.getObject("ID")%>" border="0">
for some reason it does not work, the images are never called. I have another servlet which is called the same way and it works fine
<img src="servlet/ImageServletLarge?PhotoId=<%=strPhotoId%>" border="0">
Thank you all for your time

this is my servlet code. Like I said it works fine in another servlet
rs.next();
byte[] bytearray = new byte[rs.getInt(1)];
int size=0;
InputStream sImage;
sImage = rs.getBinaryStream(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
while((size=sImage.read(bytearray))!= -1 )
response.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,size);
response.flushBuffer();
sImage.close();

Calling Servlet from Java-Class

Hi,
I have a normal java-class that is working with request/response Objects. From within this class I want to call a local servlet, let it do some work with the request and the response and then return it to the class.
I guess the RequestDispatcher can only be called from within a Servlet, but my class is not a servlet.
The getServlet()-method is not working any more.
Maybe somebody has an idea.
Thanks a lot,
Matthias

MatthiasThis is not very pretty, so I think you should redessign, but you can open a URLConnection from your class pointing to the URL of the servlet. As far as I know you can't invoke a servlet directly, because you can't get a reference to it, it can only be invoked by the container...
