Can we run servlets as standalone GUIs??

Hi,
I need clarification regarding running server side programs as standalone GUI (say java swings) on the local user machines??
ofcourse, we can run servlets on the browser window. but i am not if it's possible to run as swing GUI. please let me know
thanks
sri.

Think of it this way, the communication between browser and Servlet is simply HTTP. The browser does not 'run' or 'invoke' your Servlet. Rather it initiates an HTTP request that the Servlet will inspect and take some action (via form parameters, URL parameters, the URL itself, etc.) Then an HTTP response is returned.
Your Swing client can emulate a browser, and unless you write code to detect so otherwise, your Servlet will not be able to distinguish the standalone client from the browser. As long as you submit valid HTTP requests that the Servlet can process, both clients are equally valid.

Can I run Servlets in the Sun App Server?

I am trying to run a servlet. I am not sure if I can run the same using the Sun app server. any help to clarify the following queries would be appreciated.
1. Should I have to specify a path in the environmental variables?
2. Is there a web site that tells me the same with respect to running the servlet on a Sun app server.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you want in regards to question, but I can assure you that you can run servlets in S1AS7. My recommendation is to just package your servlet into a web archive (war) and deploy it. You can deploy it via the commandline (asadmin) or the web based administrative client (likely http://localhost:4848). For more information on this I suggest reading:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-7150-10/index.html
You must likely want to read the section on assembling and deploying web applications.

Tomcat 4.0 can't run Servlets at my folder

Hello
I try to run my servlet with timcat 4.0 at my directory:
webapps/ild/webINF/classes/ild/claims/MyServlet
at local web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ClaimsServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ild.claims.ClaimsServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ClaimsServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ild/claims/claims</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
* under Forte4J4 with tomcat 4 its running ok
at conf/server.xml:
<Context path="/ild" docBase="ild" debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_examples_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
and I try to run it and I got:
(claims/clams)is not availabe
at the examples folder I can run servlets
what hav I don wrong?

check it once more if your ClaimsServlet.class is in ../webapps/ild/webINF/classes/ild/claims/ folder or not? one molre important note: it is not webINF like you have written it is WEB-INF,though it is not case sensitive i guess but note the '-' in between.name your folder properly. Then change the url-pattern to something simple like /claim instead of /ild/claims/claims like you have used (just a suggestion) and then point your browser to http://localhost:<port>/ild/claim and let us know what happens

Tomcat can't run servlet /servlet tag help me please!

Take a look at:

As a beginner, I would advice you to run your servlet on Tomcat.
Running a servlet on IIS needs a round about solution.

How to run servlet with tomcat

How to run servlets in IIS Server

Hi Techies,
I had read in one book , in IIS server we can run servlets n jsp.
Can u guys tell how can we run servlets n jsp in IIS server. Does we need to include some 3rd party software in IIS
regards,
KRish

Well if you were to use apache you would use the
mod_jk_apache2
However, im really not sure if that is around for win32 systems. However, as i said above im not 100% on windows systems.
If you really want to test portability set aside a 5gb partition and install linux which most standard distros already have apache2/tomcat installed.(Fedora)
Also i have to agree this seems less and less java based and more and more system based.
If you plan on taking the route mentioned above start a post at places like linuxquestions.org since they have more tech junkies then you could imagine.

Set Path for running servlets

Hi,
Just started learning JSP.
Am trying to run the helloworld.java
from command prompt has c:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\examples/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorld.java.It says pacakage javax.servlet.http doesnot exist.Why is this?am i doing some thing wrong?
I tried to run it from Tomcat as well.
http://localhost:8080/examples/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorld.java
It says The requested resource (/examples/servlets/helloworld) is not available.
Any help appreciated
Thanx
Shenoy

You can not run servlets from the command line. You need to run them from the browser. The url should look like:
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorld.java
Look at the tomcat examples at
http://localhost:8080/index.jsp

Servlet can't run,Could not find the Main class,but how ?

well i have made a simple servlet,but when i run it i get the following error.

kind regards
Thanks for the very fast response,but how ?
Can you run your servlet on OC4J standalone directly, to narrow down the problem..
thanks,
-Prasad

A quick way to test would be
- Assuming you have OC4J standalone installed
- copy your servlet (HelloWorld.java) file into \default-web-app\WEB-INF\classes
- compile it
- run it using the url http://localhost:8888/servlet/HelloWorld

How I can run servlets in Apache 1.3.2.7

hi i am using JSP as Interface..and Servlets as controller...
also Using Apache Httpd server,verion is 1.3.2.7
plz tell me how i can use apache to run my servlets.
Rahul.

To run servlets in Apache you need the mod_jk module. But as the previous post, it is better to use Tomcat and putting both, Apache and Tomcat, working together. Tomcat will serve all the java related things, and the Apache, the html, php, etc.
