Connection Setup for JSP

Does anyone know what are the software needed for the localhost connection? and may I know how do i set up the connection? I've tried to follow the instructions to download but it dun seems to work....esp the Tomcat part...

This tutorial may help you out using tomcat. You'll need that to compile and run your jsp pages. There are other servlet containers but tomcat is a good place to start.

  • Request for best connectivity Setup for WRT 1900ac. DHCP issue

    Hello Customer Care Team.
    I imported the WRT 1900ac router from the USA to my location in India. Apparently your Customer care in Indai don’t give any support for this fantastic router.
    I am  not at your mercy for assistance.
    Please help & guide me in getting the best out of it and with a good setup.
    MY ADSL+2 Modem Router : Netgear
    Internet connectivity as follows:
    Lan IP
    192.168.1.1, subnet : 255.255.255.0
    Dhcp server On : start: 192.168.1.2    End : 192.168.1.254
    Wan IP Setup
    PP0E  LLC/SNAP NAT on 
    Wan Ip auto assigned
    MTU: 1492
    My Linksys  wrt1900ac wireless is setup as follows for 2.4ghz & 5ghz
                              2.4 ghz                                                             5ghz

    IP 10.185.21.X Range
    3. Internet setting on WRT 1900ac as:

     I want you to tell me if my Linksys WRT 1900ac is configured correctly and the DHCP server IPs are correct.
    When I enter 192.168.1.1 in the browser it takes me to my netgear modem web setup page. So How do I get to make all the modem & the wifi in the range of 192.168.1.1 etc.
    Please help & provide your best solution for fast speed .
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry you didn't get an answer faster but you have to know this is a peer to peer forum. it is users helping other users so not always the quickest way. First off, can you change your ISP router to modem only mode? It is best that way as you will get conflicts such as what you are seeing when there are two routers in the same link. You are getting the ISP router when you enter 192.168.1.1 because that is its address on the LAN side. It appears that your router is getting set to a 10.x IP because of the setup. You have two routers trying to work with DHCP so that is also an issue. If you can change the ISP router to modem only mode then once it is up disconnect it from the router and do a factory reset on your router and make sure it has the IP of 192.168.1.1 and you will then be able to make any changes you need to. the default login is password of admin and leave the user blank.

  • What is best connection setup for Airport Extreme?

    I currently have the following configuration/setup:
    Cable Modem > AEBS > 5-port switch.
    Since all of my home networking is currently passing through my AEBS, I was wondering if I should setup as follows:
    Cable Modem > 5-port switch > AEBS
    Suggestions comments appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jim P.

    Since all of my home networking is currently passing through my AEBS, I was wondering if I should setup as follows:
    Cable Modem > 5-port switch > AEBS
    No, if your cable modem is a simple modem.
    No, even if your modem is a modem/router.....if.....you have a Gigabit Ethernet switch.....and..... you want to take advantage of the Gigabit Ethernet speeds of the Time Capsule

  • SNC setup for connection SAPGUI - ABAP (no SSO)

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to set up SNC for our ABAP systems (Web AS 7.0). The goal of this setup for now is to be able to secure the connection between SAP GUI (generally running on Win XP clients) and the ABAP systems (HP-UX).
    When I was looking through all the documentation and threads I mostly found issues regarding the setup of SSO combined with SNC. But we don't want to setup SSO (at least no right now), we only want to secure the channel and have the user log in just like he always does (w/ Username & PW).
    I have performed the following steps so far:
    - Created the SNC PSE (in <i>STRUST</i>, I used "<SID>snc" for DN, self-signed)
    - Installation of SAP Cryptolib
    - Updated profile with SNC parameters (along with environment variable <i>SECUDIR</i>)
    The system started up correctly but when I tried to logon using SNC I first got the error message "<b>Unable to load sncgss32.dll</b>". For this case I renamed the sapcrypto.dll file on the client system (where the GUI is located) to sncgss32.dll and copied it into the SYSTEM32 folder. I have also set the environment variable “SNC_LIB” to “sncgss32.dll”. After this was done, a new error message started to pop, saying that <b>”No credentials are supplied”</b>.
    My questions are the following:
    - I have read something about not using the Cryptolib for the Win XP clients and use GSSKRB5.dll instead. Is this also required when I don't want to setup SSO? And if yes, where will I get that file?
    - Do I have to create the credentials for the SNC? (with the SAPGENPSE program)
    - Is the SNC PSE Password required for any of the steps?
    - Is there anything necessary to be setup in SU01 in the SNC-tab for my purpose? I have read a lot about the SNC-Name but I am not really sure if it only affects SSO-aspects…
    - Or are there any other steps I am missing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Jan Kaps

    Well, then I have bad news for you: that's not possible.
    Reason: SNC is based on GSS-API and that defines the philosophy: you can choose between certain Quality-of-Protection (QoP) levels which are:
      1. authentication only
      2. authentication + data integrity
      3. authentication + data integrity + confidentiality
    As you can see: there is no way to have "data integrity + confidentiality" without having "authentication". That's different from SSL where you basically have two QoP levels:
       1. server authentication + data integrity + confidentiality
       2. mutual authentication (server + client) + data integrity + confidentiality
    You can also see: using SNC does <u>not</u> necessarily mean that the data is encrypted (confidentiality).

  • POP3 & IMAP Email setup for both Wifi & Cell use separately...

    Hello,
    I was asked to post info about this by an iPhone support rep.
    I initially had lots of trouble setting accounts for use with both my WiFi home and office networks and for use through the ATT cell network.
    If you have a question as to how to setup email for both WiFi and Cell use, answer is you can't configure these manually and you don't want to...the phone does this automatically...and seamlessly. (you will NOT see the change in the advanced settings menu, this occurs internally, the settings appear the same)
    The problem: Accounts changing settings automatically...when manually configuring two separate accounts with the same email address but trying to setup the outgoing settings for different ports...one for WiFi (your broadband server acct / port 587) and one for Cell (cwmx.com / port 25)...THIS WON'T WORK!! My WiFi configured email accounts would automatically switch to Cellular configured email accounts as long as they had the same email address. Even though I gave them different names, the phone looks at the "actual email address" and if they are the same it changes your configuration to match the other account (it does this by matching the account that was either ON or OFF first and as soon as you match the second account to that setting (either ON or OFF) the phone switches the settings to match the first account.
    The Solution: (End of the Story first for those who have or are facing this problem): Be sure to setup the email accounts for use with your WiFi account first (and ONLY), as when you leave the WiFi area or turn off the WiFi setting the email account will automatically reconfigure itself for use with the ATT Cellular network...then the settings will switch back when you re-connect to the WiFi area(s). The settings that you will "SEE" are your setup for WiFi, this will not change even when using the Edge network (at least not what is displayed in the "advanced" menu). You will still see Port 587, even though the phone is changing setups internally and changes back once back on a WiFi network, you just don't see the changes.
    *I hope this helps!*
    (more details below for those who might be interested and _for those who may be trying to setup using COMCAST Broadband_)...
    My issue began because I could not get my Comcast setup to work for outgoing email. So I was advised to setup for the Edge port settings by an iPhone support person from ATT...this was a huge error. Because I attempted to do this it actually kept the phone from smoothly converting settings as needed. I only discovered this after resolving the actual problem with my WiFi (Comcast Broadband settings) issue which was actually the setup that MUST HAVE a user ID and Password, at least when using a Comcast Broadband account. Unlike the rest of my XP and ME computers on my networks which do not require this info, the iPhone DOES.
    Because I could not get outgoing mail to work with my broadband setup I attempted to setup two accounts for each email address...one for Cellular and one for WiFi for when I would figure out my problem...or for just sending email more quickly. This does not work as the conflict causes a nightmare. This is something the iPhone support folks should have explained but failed to do so, perhaps as they didn't know this?
    Bottom line: Let the phone do the choosing...it works great and will avoid YOU wasting TWO DAYS and more than 12 hours on the phone with iPhone Support as I did. I eventually figured the port switching issues and solutions on my own through trial and error and luckily one bright iPhone support person advised me that he knew for sure that when using the iPhone with Comcast you must setup "outgoing settings" using an "ID" and "Password" which I was provided by Comcast in only a few minutes. I don't use their emial account but I setup one just for this purpose. Once done, my email accounts began working normally. Once I resolved the conflict issues listed above the phone now works great both WiFi and Cell.
    -Rich

    fullspool,
    Comcast offers an authenticating SMTP server that should work for you on WiFi and EDGE both.
    The settings are linked in this Apple knowledge base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306074
    The Comcast link is:
    http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Emailtop18913
    From that link the settings are:
    Your email address: [email protected]
    The email server type (POP)
    Incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
    Outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
    With SSL on for both incoming and outgoing.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Connection pool for ldap

    Hi
    My application is an interface to ldap directory. I have not used any ldap open source api to retrieve data from ldap. I have written connection pool that will help the application to connect to the ldap. It's working fine, but it's creating threads which are not invited.
    ConnectionPool class takes care of the connection storage and creation, while Housekeeping thread relases these connection when idle after a given time.
    Can someone please help in finding the problem in the code that creates additional threads.

    Hi,
    As the connection pool implmentation has the bug of not extending more than the min size, workaround I use is MIN_CONN=100 and MAX_CONN=101,and just waiting for the bug to get fixed. (using Netscape SDK for java4.0)

  • Connection Pooling and JSP Custom Tag Library - is code (inside) the best way/correc?

    Hi, can anyone advise as to whether my tag library code (based

    pooling functionality across my entire JSP based application? I
    am slightly concerned that my OracleConnectionCacheImpl object
    may exist multiple times, hence rendering my conection pooling
    attempt useless.

  • VPN Client and Setup for RV042

    Is there a definitive setup for a small VPN using the RV042?
    Situation is 2 remote users wish to get access to a non server (W7P) pc to access files.
    The end point doesn't have a static IP but I've put in a DYNDNS.org so it reports back the IP and I can access the router at least from outside.
    I can setup VPN users but is there more to do?
    Wish to use QVPN client or advise alternative.
    Appreciate all input.
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Bruce,
    QuickVPN normally works well for what you wish to do. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is ON in Windows 7 and Windows Vista clients. Turn off all antivirus and third party firewall software as well at least until you have verified that you have a successful connection. It is very easy to set up, just create a username and password in the router. If you run into trouble, post here or call your local Small Business Support Center:

  • Unable to compile class for JSP

    Please can anyone help me to solve this.
    Actually,this is the condition.
    In my db,there is a table called UserPassword, which has 4
    fields(empNo,UserName,password,level). Now I want to do these things:
    When the user submits the data to create a new account via HTML form, it submits the data to the file called CreateAcc.jsp. In this file it perform some logic,here are they.
    1)To check the empNo,if it is already exist in the DB,
         if empNo =exist then display error.(record already exist)
         if empNo =notexist then do task 2).
    2)check the UserName,if it is already exist in the db,
         if UserName=exist then display error.(because it's a primary key)
         if UserName=notexist then do task 3).
    3)Create a new user account and save it to the db.
    To do these tasks,I never create a new objects for the tasks 1) and 2).
    only for task 3)create an object.
    Is it the right way?
    Here is the file CreateAcc.jsp
    <%@ page language="java" %>
    <%@ page import="core.UserAccManager" %>
    <%@ page import="data.UserPassword" %>
    <jsp:useBean id="UserAccManager" class="core.UserAccManager" scope="session"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="UserAccManager" property="*"/>
    <jsp:useBean id="UserPassword" class="data.UserPassword" scope="session"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="UserPassword" property="*"/>
    <%
    String nextPage ="MainForm.jsp";
    if(UserPassword.verifyEmpno()){
         if(UserPassword.verifyUsername()){
              if(UserPassword.createAcc()) nextPage ="MsgAcc.jsp";
          }else{
               nextPage="UserNameExist.jsp";
          else{
              nextPage="UserAccError.jsp";

    Are there any mistakes? If so tell me where is it and how to change them.Please help.

    I try it that way, but it don't compile.

    import javax.servlet.*;
    core\data\UserPassword.java:package javax.servlet.http does not exist
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    So,I comment them only in the UserPassword.java file,and compile it again.
    Then it compile well.I goto the directory to get the .class files.
    But there is only UserPassword.class inside the data folder. There is not
    UserAccManager.class in the core folder.
    Then I try this way,I put my 2 java files in to a new folder,
    F:\SystemName\com
    When I try it that way, but it don't compile.

    So,I comment them only in the UserPassword.java file,and compile it again.
    Now both are compiling well.There was 2 class files.

  • Office 2013 RMS Client Configuration - Your Machine is not setup for IRM

    Hi All,
    I have successfully setup a test AD RMS farm but stuck at trying to configure Office 2013 to work with this. The farm configuration is as below
    DC: Windows 2003 
    AD RMS Server: Windows 2008/ SQL Server 2008 R2
    Client: Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2013 32 bit, Domain Joined
    Client is domain joined and SCP has been successfully registered ( I can see the SCP in AD RMS properties).
    When I open word and select Protect Document -> Restrict Access, the only option is to Connect to RMS Server and get template, which eventually gives an error
    Your Machine isn't setup for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to office, open an existing IRM protected message or document, or contact your help desk.
    Surprisingly, when I open a document protected by IRM (from a different machine), IRM is automatically configured for the user and starts working from that point. However any new domain user login into this client faces the same issue.
    Can anyone help identify the required registry keys that need to be present for getting this working on the client.
    Thanks for your help

  • Entry Channel setup for multiple company codes

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the entry channel setup (for external requirements in the Plan-Driven Procurement scenario)
    In previous implementations, I 've created an entry channel below each company code (as the documentation says it should be). Now, for each entry channel, there was a EBP user assigned, which corresponded to an RFC entry in the backend system (I was connecting EBP to multiple backend systems)
    Now, what should I do in the following scenario?:
    1. SRM is only connected to one backend system
    2. There are 50 company codes
    Does that mean I have to create 50 users (for each channel) plus 50 RFC connections in the R/3 system (each with a different user in the backend system), pointing to the same SRM system?
    I was thinking of creating an Org iD in the SRM structure at the top (which would be the entry channel), assign only ONE user to it and then fill attribute BUK with all the company codes. However, I don't know if this will work, because the external requirement process might need the company code defined in the "Function" tab... =/
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Gilberto.

    Hi Proyecto Genesis,
    I am also configuring the Entry channel (org unit) for multiple company codes.
    I tried your logic of defining the entry channel outside company code level. Assigned the BUK attribute and extended attribute for plants and storage locations.
    Also in my case the local Pur org and Pur group is defined outside the company code. Is it correct?
    However the system fails to transfer the external requisition to SRM.
    SLG1 displays following error message.
    "No address found for partner function type Ship-To Address"
    So if I move the Entry channel (org unit) under any one company code level then the external requisitions are transferred correctly to SRM.
    But then the issue is the requirements are not transferred with the backend Pur Org and Pur grp. Instead they are transferred to the Pur Org and Pur grp of the company code under which the entry channel is defined.
    Can you please share how do we need to define the entry channel, local pur org and pur grp for multiple company codes scenario, so that the ECC requisitions are transferred with the correct company code, pur org and pur grp to SRM?
    Or do we need to define Entry channel for each company code and RFC user actually mapping the same backend system?
    Please guide.
    Regards,
    Sandeep

  • Setup for Discoverer to have multiple sessions opening in different browser

    What is the setup for Discoverer or Windows 6 browser to have multiple discoverer sessions opening in different browser windows at the same time in Discoverer 10g Plus?
    We have implemented Discoverer 10g Plus just to be used as an extract tool. We have some workbooks retrieving 200,000 or more rows from an Oracle database. It is taking 30 to 45 minutes to download. Some users are able to open multiple sessions in different browsers to download more then one worksheet at the time, but we have other users who get an error message that they can only open one session at the time. What is the setup to allow users to open more than one Discoverer session?

    Additional research in Metalink found the following:
    Hdr: 7261918 10.2 USER_JAV 10.1.2.54.25 PRODID-964 PORTID-46
    Abstract: ALLOW ABILITY TO LAUNCH TWO DISCOPLUS SESSIONS FROM SAME BROWSER CONNECTION PAGE
    *** 07/17/08 07:31 am REQUEST TEXT ***
    Please refer to bug 6656139. Need to get Discoverer Plus certified to
    support launching two plus sessions from same browser connections page when
    using SUN JRE 1.5/1.6 or higher.
    As per bug 6656139 it appears to be JVM 1.5.x limitation, because same
    actions work fine when using SUN JRE 1.4.2_xx.
    *** 07/17/08 07:31 am BUSINESS NEED ***
    Impossible to run reports against two different databases simultaniously
    using same Discoverer instace, or just several reports at the same time,
    which would save much time instead of running reports one by one.

    Error 'Unable To Connect Discoverer Server: Null' When Opening A Second Plus Session From The Same Browser [ID 790187.1]
    Cause
    Bug 6656139, JVM 1.5 : RUNNING TWO PLUS SESSIONS ERRORS WITH UNABLE TO CONNECT: NULL
    The Java Console reports the following error:
    Error: java.lang.StackOverflowError
    java.lang.StackOverflowError

    at javax.swing.DefaultFocusManager.getFirstComponent(Unknown Source)
    Per Bug 6656139 this problem is a limitation/bug with current Sun JRE 1.5
    and higher and needs to be addressed by Sun.
    Solution
    Currently launching two Discoverer Plus sessions from the same browser connection page is not supported/certified.
    Enhancement Request :
    Bug 7261918, ALLOW ABILITY TO LAUNCH TWO DISCOPLUS SESSIONS FROM SAME BROWSER CONNECTION PAGE
    has been logged for this issue but is still waiting on a Sun Java fix.
    Use the following workaround:
    Use JRE 1.4.2_xx until the ER is implemented and the SUN JRE bug is fixed.

    saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
    to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
    other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will be
    loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
    ignored in both cases.
    maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
    sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
    limits this. -1 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
    0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
    use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
    minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
    (in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
    maxActiveSessions. This avoids thrashing when the site is
    highly active. -1 or 0 means there is no minimum - sessions
    can be swapped out at any time.
    maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
    long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
    override this. This isn't exact: it is checked periodically.
    -1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
    although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
    If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
    Store will be loaded on startup.
    maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
    but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in seconds),
    and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on startup.
    If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
    should be backed up shortly after being used.
    To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions, maxIdleSwap,
    and minIdleBackup all to -1, saveOnRestart to false, then restart
    Catalina.

  • Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

    I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
    *What I've tried and the issues...*
    At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
    SMB doesn't work.
    Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
    So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
    So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
    *What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
    FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
    Thanks much.

    Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
    You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
    Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
    Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
    OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server
