Connection in jsp with a sas server?

Question

Hi i have a problem with connecting a jsp-application to a sas server.
I have the following code used to make a connection.
[begin code]
[import the packages]
<%@page errorPage="ErrorPageKBO.jsp" %>
<%@page import="com.sas.rmi.Connection"%>
<%@page import="com.sas.rmi.Rocf"%>
<%@ page import="java.io.*,
java.util.*,
java.net.*,
               javax.servlet.*,
               java.sql.*,
               java.util.Date,
com.sas.collection.StringCollection,
com.sas.servlet.beans.*,
com.sas.servlet.beans.html.*,
com.sas.servlet.util.*" %>
[code used for connection]
String Lang="";
if (session.getAttribute("lang").equals("nl"))
     Lang="Dutch";
if (session.getAttribute("lang").equals("fr"))
     Lang="French";
     Connection connection = new Connection();
     connection.setHost("Localhost");
     connection.setFunnel(true);
     connection.setFunnelHost("Localhost");
     connection.setProfileName("local1");
     connection.setUseProfile(true);
     Rocf rocf = new Rocf();
     // Begin code om de connectie en rocf objecten in de sessie te zetten.
     com.sas.servlet.util.BoundRocf br = new com.sas.servlet.util.BoundRocf(rocf);
     com.sas.servlet.util.BoundConnection bc = new com.sas.servlet.util.BoundConnection(connection);
     session.setAttribute("cleanupConnection", connection);
     session.setAttribute("cleanupRocf", rocf);
     session.setAttribute("cleanupBc", bc);
     session.setAttribute("cleanupBr", br);
     // Einde code om de connectie en rocf objecten in de sessie te zetten.
     session.setAttribute("rocfAttr",rocf);//nieuw
     com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface si = (com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface)
          rocf.newInstance(com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface.class, connection);
     com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener socket = new com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener();
     String pgmText;
     if (request.getParameter("V")!=null)
          pgmText=
          "data _null_;"                                                                                     + "\n" +
          "     call symput(\'ond_nr\',PUT((INPUT(\'" + request.getParameter("V") + "\',HEX.)-TODAY()),Z10.));"               + "\n" +
          "run;";                                                                                     
     else
          pgmText =
          "%let ond_nr="+request.getParameter("ON")+request.getParameter("ON1")+request.getParameter("ON2")+";";
     pgmText=pgmText +
          "%let UpdForm=" + session.getAttribute("updateProfile") + ";" + "\n" +
          "%let lang=" + Lang + ";"                                                                                 + "\n" +
          "libname initieel 'd:/rawdata/ftproot/KBO/initieelprivate';"                                                   + "\n" +
          "filename sock SOCKET '" + (java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost()).getHostAddress() + ":" + socket.setup()           + "';\n" +
          "%include \"d:/ecodata/nl/servlet/kbo_ps/sasprograms/private_onderneming_&lang..sas\";"                                        + "\n" +
          "%include 'd:/ecodata/nl/servlet/kbo_ps/sasprograms/private_onderneming.sas';";
     socket.start();
     si.setProgramText(pgmText);
     //out.write("<pre>" + pgmText + "</pre>");
     //out.write("<pre>" + si.getLastLogText() + "</pre>");
     pgmText=" ";
     socket.write(out);
     socket.close();
     rocf.stop();
     session.removeAttribute("rocfAttr");
[end code]
Now they say that to connect from a common server, where the jsp application is stored and executed, with the sas server named "sng3pubsearch". You just have to change "Localhost" into the name of the sas server!
But i did that and could'nt connect with the sas server.
I searched on the Internet and found out that you have to give as well the package name and the host.
But i don't know just how to code that?
Can anyone help me in this ?
Thanks a lot!

Start by moving all this code out of the JSP and into a Servlet or something else. JSP's are for presentation and what you're doing is bad practice.
That said, you should use code tags when you post code. You should post the error if you're getting one (preferably a stack trace as well). And honestly, you haven't posted enough info for me to help. Maybe someone else has more info.
Try connecting with a standalone class first. Don't do this in a JSP unless you like headaches.
