Calling an applet from servlet

Hi
I'm devoloping a server side java software(on netbeans 6) and I want my gui classes(Designed as swing japplet application) to be executed on server side.
I mean I have database operations on my applet and some logging functions and I want them to execute on server side not client side
Is it possible to call applets from servlet and so its executed on server if it is possible how can i do that is there a tutorial for that ?
If it is not is there any other solution? Its really urgent for me
Thanks

Is it possible to call applets from servlet and so its executed on server if it is possible how can i do that is there a tutorial for that ?It's possible for a servlet to call any class. It's not easily possible for a servlet to connect to a certain applet instance running on a certain client, and neither should it. Hello - it's the server. It's supposed to answer to requests. It's not supposed to issue requests to the client. And considering your set-up as I understood it, you don't ned that anyway. Let the applet just tell the servlet to do action X or Y or Z.
Its really urgent for meGood Thing that you wrote it here. If you had written it at the beginning of your post, I wouldn't have bothered to answer.

How to call a Applet from a servlet and vice versa...?

Hi all
Can anyone help me how to call a applet from a servlet and vice versa. When the applet is called it should contact the database (oracle8i) and get the data. When i submit the applet form the data in the applet should be saved in the database.
Thanks in advance

Sweep is correct about requestDispatcher being another approach for inter-servlet delegation; the only issue that i recall with this approach is that it defaults the method of the destination servlet to the one it was called from...for example, calling servlet2 from within servlet1.post() resulted in the dispatcher attempting to utilize servlet2.post() - i believe that i searched for a parameterize solution to no avail :( (ended up handling the request by placing a "fake" doPost() in servlet2 that simply called servlet2.doGet())
however, if your application is functioning correctly on your pc/webserver then the problem may be external to servlet communication (e.g. client webserver's ports not configured or blocked, missing runtime classes, etc.)
my suggestion would be to set aside the programmatic concerns for the moment - what is the response if you open a browser on a client's machine and access the URL in question (i.e. http://clientserver:port/stefanoServlet)? If it will not respond to access in this manner then it certainly won't when your application calls for it.
It's possible that there is a coding error but, given the info supplied, i'd start examining the environment, first. Let us know if you have any luck with the test i recommended or not (please provide abundant detail). Or, if you've found the solution then you may want to post back with a quick blub so the next person knows how to escape the trap.

How to call an applet from a first applet

Hi,
I need to call an applet from a first applet, but I want that the called applet doesn't execute in the same AppletContext than the first one, is it possible?
If it is, what is the solution?
Thanks

Yes, it is possible. One way would be to use static variables.
class A1 extends Applet
   public static A2 TheOther;
   public A1()
      A2.TheOther = this;
   public void callA2()
      TheOther.doSomething();
class A2 extends Applet
   public static A1 TheOther;
   public A2()
      A1.TheOther = this;
   public void doSomething()

Calling an Applet from a JSP

 Hi,
 I need help with this, I want to invoke an applet from a JSP page. The applet code
 is compiled and resides in a separate jar file. The question is, how do I deploy
 this applet in weblogic 6.1 and then have a JSP call this applet.
 --Krish.


To call an applet from a jsp use the <jsp:plugin> tag
 <jsp:plugin
 type="applet"
 code="classFileName"
 codebase="classFileDirectoryName"
 [ align="bottom|top|middle|left|right" ]
 [ height="{displayPixels | <%= expression %>}"]
 [ width="{displayPixels | <%= expression %>}"]
 [ hspace="leftRightPixels" ]
 [ vspace="topBottomPixels" ]
 </jsp:plugin>

Calling JavaScript function from Servlet ?

I have a Servlet that needs to call a general purpose JavaScript function to retrieve some data. The JavaScript function sits in a file on the web server called general.js.
How can I call this function from my servlet to retrieve an integer result ?

Calling Java application from servlet

Hi !
I'm trying to run a Java application from within a servlet with Tomcat 4. I'm using the Runtime.getRuntime ().exec () method. So the application is run in a different JVM as a subprocess of the servlet. I use ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream and a serializable object to enable communication between the servlet and the application.
I tested the application and the serializable object with another Java application that works as the caller and it works fine. However, replacing the caller application with the servlet I get a StreamCorruptedException. The structure of the caller application and the servlet is the same.
My questions are:
- Is there something I should configure in Tomcat to create a subprocess ?
- What is the cause of the StreamCorruptedException ? How do I get it with the servlet and not with the application ?
- Should I use an environment with the call to Runtime.getRuntime ().exec () ? How do I use it ?
- Is the called application forced to run in my servlet's context ?
- Is there a better way to do this ?
Thanks to all

Here's my code:
1. The serializable object:
// Object Obj
import java.io.*;
public class Obj implements Serializable
public int n;
public Obj ()
n = 0;
public Obj (int n)
this.n = n;
public String toString ()
return getClass ().getName () + " -> (n = " + n + ")";
2. The application Sub (subprogram)
// Application Sub
import java.io.*;
public class Sub
private static File f;
private static FileWriter fw;
public static void main (String [] args)
throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException
ObjectInputStream ois;
ObjectOutputStream oos;
Obj obj;
ois = new ObjectInputStream (System.in);
obj = (Obj) ois.readObject ();
f = new File ("Sub.txt");
fw = new FileWriter (f);
fw.write (obj.toString ());
fw.close ();
oos = new ObjectOutputStream (System.out);
oos.writeObject (obj);
ois.close ();
oos.close ();
3. The application AMain (caller application)
// Application AMain
import java.io.*;
class AMain
private static File f;
private static FileWriter fw;
public static void main (String [] args)
throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
Runtime r;
Process p;
ObjectInputStream ois;
ObjectOutputStream oos;
Obj obj, obj2;
r = Runtime.getRuntime ();
p = r.exec ("java Sub");
oos = new ObjectOutputStream (p.getOutputStream ());
obj = new Obj (5);
oos.writeObject (obj);
oos.flush ();
B.comunica (obj);
System.out.println ("AMain sends to Sub: " + obj.toString ());
try
p.waitFor ();
catch (InterruptedException e)
System.out.println ("Subprogram was interrupted");
System.out.println (e.toString ());
ois = new ObjectInputStream (p.getInputStream ());
System.out.print ("Sub sends to AMain: ");
obj2 = (Obj) ois.readObject ();
System.out.println (" " + obj2.toString ());
oos.close ();
ois.close ();
p.destroy ();
4. The servlet SMain (the calling servlet)
// Servlet SMain
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SMain extends HttpServlet
public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
Runtime r;
Process p;
ObjectInputStream ois;
ObjectOutputStream oos;
Obj obj, obj2;
int state, i;
res.setContentType ("text/html");
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream ();
out.println ("<html>");
out.println ("<head><title>Sub</title></head>");
out.println ("<body>");
out.println ("Invoking subprogram...");
out.println (" ");
try
r = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = r.exec ("java -cp .;c:\\Programs\\Apache~1.0\\webapps\\SMain\\WEB-INF\\classes Sub");
out.println ("...invoked ");
oos = new ObjectOutputStream (p.getOutputStream ());
obj = new Obj (5);
oos.writeObject (obj);
oos.flush ();
out.println (" SMain sends to Sub: " + obj.toString () + " ");
try
p.waitFor ();
catch (InterruptedException e)
out.println (" Subprogram was interrupted ");
out.println (" " + e.toString () + " ");
state = p.exitValue ();
out.println (" Subprogram state: " + state + " ");
ois = new ObjectInputStream (p.getInputStream ());
out.print (" Sub sends to SMain: ");
obj2 = (Obj) ois.readObject ();
p.destroy ();
catch (SecurityException e)
out.println (" SecurityException ");
out.println (" " + e.toString () + " ");
catch (IOException e)
out.println (" IOException ");
out.println (" " + e.toString () + " ");
catch (Exception e)
out.println (" Exception ");
out.println (" " + e.toString () + " ");
out.println ("</body>");
out.println ("</html>");
So, as you can see, both application AMain and servlet SMain invoke application Sub and pass it the serializable object Obj. Oddly enough, application AMain works fine whereas servlet SMain throws a StreamCorruptedException exception.
johnpoole said:
�It's hard to guess what would cause the exception without seeing code, but the interaction between the processes would differ from that between two applications, because the servlet process is started with a different class loader. I'm not sure which one the jvm started by the call would use.�
How can I enforce that a System classloader be used in the call to Runtime.getRuntime ().exec () ? (I mean by System classloader a classloader equals to the one applications are launched from console).
johnpoole said
�Is there a reason why you aren't starting the second process manually and then connecting to it on a port?�
The idea is providing a Web interface for an application running in the server. The servlet is used to restrict access to this application but once access is granted (passing the servlet) the application should not be constrained.

Can I invoke applet from servlet

Hello there,
I was wondering whether I can call an applet in a servlet as follows: -
out.println("<APPLET code=\"Main_Interface.class\" width=850 height=800></APPLET>");
I tried the above line but the applet could not be loaded (Main_Interface.class is the applet class).
Could anyone help me with this. If there is another way of doing it please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ugniss,
I put my applet class in webapps/applets and servlet class in webapps/test/\WEB-INF\classes.
here is how I call the applet in the servlet class:
out.println("<APPLET code=\"Main_Interface.class\" codebase=\"../applets/\" width=850 height=800></APPLET>");
But the applet is failing to load, any more hints please.
Cheers

Calling non-static from servlet

Why the he** I cannot call non-static functions from other class.. I define my servlet like public class xxx extends HttpServlet and try to call "library" functions from normal class. Static is bad.. It messes up with my servlets when there are many users at the same time.

You can't call non-static functions (without an instance of the class) because the functions don't exist (without an instance of the class). Just because the library is sitting somewhere out there doesn't mean your program knows about it.
Static may mess-up with multiple users because static means only one exists. If each user is modifying it, it ain't gonna return the same thing to each user each time he accesses it.
