Configuing web.xml for using JSTL tags in WAS

Hi All
I have an application deployed in websphere.
After extracting jakarta-taglibs-standard-current.zip I copied the jar files ( from the \jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\lib folder) to the web-inf\lib folder.
Then I saved the c.tld ( from the jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\tld folder) to the \web-inf\taglibs\ folder
Then I modified the web.xml to include
       <taglib>
             <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
             <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location>
      </taglib>The problem is when i restart the application from the WAS administrative console. The application does not restart with the error
Exception:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectException--------
com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ExecutionException: Command HostPubServer.start Sub-command Error.     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.AbstractCommand.handleAct(AbstractCommand.java:288)
     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.StartCommand.execute(StartCommand.java:94)
     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.CommandManager$ExecutionThread.run(CommandManager.java:264)
     at com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ThreadPool$PooledThread.run(ThreadPool.java:89)
When I remove the " <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location> " I am able to restart the application. But the path is right.. and the tld is ther. What cud be the issue here ??
Any thoughts ??
Thanks

Hi
The position of the tablig tag in web.xml was wrong. So it was not validated according to the dtd specification. I placed the tag after the errortag in the web.xml and it resolved the issue.
Thanks

How to create a simple web.xml for using servlets

Hello i wanna configure the web.xml that i can use sevlets and beans, but how can i do that?
This is de directorie i have installed my webapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\testapp
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\test\WEB-INF\classes (in this dir, I wanna put my beans and servlets, I got one servlet and the name is LogIn.class).
And i wanna request my servlets with the url http://localhost:8080/testapp/servlet/LogIn
How can i create a very basic web.xml with working beans, servlets and session? It is for testing-use only, so the security is not important for me at this moment.
Tnx

under your web-inf
in your web.xml file you must map
the servlets
under the <web-app> tag type
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.LogIn</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>LogIn</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/LogIn</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>ps: start using some IDE such as NetBeans or Ecclipse
since they will take care of mapping all servlets and Beans
and generate all the necessary files for your web-app

Modifying web.xml for a custom tag

Hello all, I'm trying to create a custom tag, and I'm having trouble trying to understand some elements of web.xml. Can someone tell me in detail what <taglib-uri> is? I know <taglib-location> is the directory where the .tld file is stored.
Also, is there anywhere online where I could find out more about the different compinents of web.xml? (I can't find any good websites).
Thanks a lot.

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/mytags</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/mytags.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>That means that your tag libaray definition is located at /root/mytags.tld. Some people put them in the WEB-INF, which would make it /root/WEB-INF/mytags.tld.
The taglib-uri is how you are going to reference it in your JSP. With the above setup, here is how you would reference in your JSP
<%@ taglib uri="/mytags" prefix="myTagPrefix" %>
<myTagPrefix:mySpecialTag/>
Hope this helps.

Use JSTL tags for ATG droplets and beans

Hi,
I am trying to display profile values in a JSON object in jsp.
<dsp:getvalueof var="json" bean="ProfileFormHandler.ProfileJSON"></dsp:getvalueof>
<c:out value="${json}" />
but instead of using dsp tag is there a way for accessing ProfileFormHandler using JSTL tag
Also how can we use droplets in ATG like ForEach using JSTL tags only
<dsp:droplet name="ForEach">
<dsp:param name="array" param="catalogItems.rootCategories"/>
<dsp:param name="elementName" value="categoryItem"/>

I am trying to display profile values in a JSON object in jsp.
<dsp:getvalueof var="json" bean="ProfileFormHandler.ProfileJSON"></dsp:getvalueof>
<c:out value="${json}" />
but instead of using dsp tag is there a way for accessing ProfileFormHandler using JSTL tagIn the <dsp:importbean> use var to give an EL variable name to the component you are importing.You can also set its scope attribute to page, request, session, or application with page scope being the default. You can then access it as a page scoped attribute. So this should do:
<dsp:importbean var="profileFormHandler" bean="/atg/userprofiling/ProfileFormHandler" />
<c:out value="${pageScope.profileFormHandler.ProfileJSON}" />In case you change the scope in importbean you can accordingly use pageScope, requestScope, sessionScope or applicationScope.
Also how can we use droplets in ATG like ForEach using JSTL tags only
<dsp:droplet name="ForEach">
<dsp:param name="array" param="catalogItems.rootCategories"/>
<dsp:param name="elementName" value="categoryItem"/>Any ATG droplet is nothing but a servlet which is also a Nucleus component. So essentially you want to call a servlet from JSTL which as such shouldn't be done in a well written script-less JSP. You can probably try to use the droplet as a bean and use JSTL on top of it but since ATG droplets also have different types of parameters like input, output and open so you will have to specially handle those.

Problem in using JSTL tag libs

Hi there,
I am trying to use JSTL tag libs in my web app, but i get the following error message:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(22,0) According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute test does not accept any expressions
as it might be clear i am using Tomcat and line 22 of the code for index.jsp is:
<c:if test="${user.role > 0 }">
Please help my identify whats wrong in there. I suspect that it is because of my web.xml file, but i am not sure.
thanx in advance,

Not able to use JSTL tags

Hi
I am not able to use any tag in jstl. I have tried c:out,c:forEach,c:if etc. I have done mapping in the web.xml for the c.tld. I have tried the same code in eclipse and IBM websphere and Rational also but i am getting the error
Custom tag attribute test cannot be runtime expression. value: "[${userType eq 'member'}]"
i thought that it may be something related to configuratioin problem but now I am working in IBM rational and it has support for JSP 2.0. one thing more, I read in the HeadFirst servlets and JSP book that we needn't do any mapping for tlds etc in jsp 2.0. So please elaborate more and tell me the exact reason for my problem.
I will really appreciate the guy who answers me as soon as possible.
my persona email id is [email protected]
Thanking in advance!

Custom tag attribute test cannot be runtime expression. value: "[${userType eq 'member'}]"You say you are using a JSP2.0 container?
This message usually indicates that you are using JSTL1.0 with a JSP2.0 container.
Make sure you are using JSTL1.1 (seperate download), and are importing it with the correct URI
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
(note the subtle addition of the /jsp in there to distinguish it from JSTL1.0)
As has been said, remove all those tlds and entries in web.xml.
All of the tld can be found in the META-INF directory of standard.jar.
Your web container should find them all there, provided you use the "standard URI"

Posting huge data on to JSP page using JSTL tags

Hi,
I have one application where I have to post huge data (approximately 2000 rows of data) into JSP page. I am using JSTL tags and running on Tomcat 5.
It is taking almost 20 to 25 seconds to load the entire page.
Is it the optimal time to load or it could be improved?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
--Subbu.

Hi Evnafets,
Thank you for the response.
Here are the tasks I am doing to display the data on JSP.
0. We are running on Tomcat 5 and the memory size is 1024MB (1GB).
1. Getting the data - I am not performing any database queries. The data is stored in the static cache memory. So the server side response is so quick - less than a milli second.
2. Using Java beans to pass data to the presentation layer (JSP).
3. 10 'if' conditions and 2 'for' loops and 2 'choose' statements are being used in the JSP page while displaying the data.
4. Along with the above, there are 4 javascript files are being used.
5. The jsp file size after rendering the data, is aprox. 160 kb
Hope this information helps you to understand the problem.
Thanks,
--Subbu.

Is it possible todeclare primitive variable by using JSTL tag

Hi friends..........
I have to use jstl tags in my project , so i have to know how to declare primitive variables with jstl tag. Is it possible with <c:set > jstl tag........
Hope i get the answer...........
Thanks in advance...............

JSTL variables are attributes in the page, request, session and application scopes.
As such, they can only be objects, because you can't store a primitive value as an attribute.
However you shouldn't need to declare primitive variables. You should hardly need to declare any variables.
JSTL is not a programming language. It is a language to aid the display of a JSP. Therefore most of its attention is geared towards outputting things, with a much lesser concern on setting them.

How to install Authorware Web Player for use with Win 7/8?

Hi, has anybody had any experience installing the Authorware Web Player for use with Windows 7 & Windows 8? I'm looking at upgrading computers from Windowx XP on a standalone network (no internet access), and need to be able to display our Authorware content accessed via an LMS.

Moving this discussion to the Authorware forum.

Example web.xml for JSTL?

I need to find an example web.xml file that shows where thet tablib statements for JSTL go and what they look like in a web.xml file. I was looking at an article I found through Google that pointed to Javasoft doc on this subject but the link didn't work, and anyway, I prefer examples to specifications. I haven't found a good example yet. Can someone point me to one or post one? I need both contents of the taglib statements and a clear picture of exactly where in the web.xml file they go. I think the statements are:
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/fmt.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/sql.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/x</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/x.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>Thanks.
Ken

Just to confirm
- what server/version are you deploying on where it doesn't work?
- what server do you have that it does work on? Is it the same?
- you have both standard.jar and jstl.jar? Check the version by opening with a zip tool and looking at the manifest.mf file.
- what URI are you using to import the tag libraries with?
To install JSTL, all you need is jstl.jar and standard.jar, in a place where the webapp can find them.
Most commonly is the WEB-INF/lib directory
Most servers also have a "shared" directory idea - eg tomcat has the /common/lib and /shared/lib directories. The JSTL jars will work just as well in those directories.
