Creating a JSF Web application from scratch.

hi,
i have created a JSF web application, but not from scratch i had to use a jsf example included in the final specification of the JSF download, as a template to create my own application, by deleting and editing the example files with my own.
i tried to do it from scratch including all the settings, parameters and files that should be in place, but i sill get an error when starting the app in tomcat.
Unfortunately i dont have the error listing anymore since i have got around the problem through alternate path. however i do remember that it came with cannot find FacesServlet, or something to do with the FacesServlet.
if anyone could shed some light on this it would be really great because it so frustrating.
many thanks.
dharam

cannot find FacesServlet, or something to do with the FacesServlet.It might appear not because you have a wrong project structure, but because you point to the entry jsp file directly without using the servlet mapping in your URL. Check this first.

How to develop portal application from scratch

Hi,
I am on the process of evaluating sun one portal server in windows environment.
currently i am planning to develop some sample portal application from scratch.
can someone help me how to go about in this with some reference materials/links.
Thanks and Regards,
Senthil

portal application means
1- portlets (portlet logic + portlet view)
or
2- channel + provider (original Sun portal components)
have a look at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-1370
additionally you can develop JSR168 portlets in combination with JSF straight with Sun Creater 2
which is currently available as a free beta version

SSO to Web Application from Portal

Hi,
    I am working on a scenario where I need to access a Web Application from the Portal.
    I read about the Application Integrator that is provided by the Portal .
    I wanted to know that can I only have SSO to those Web Application that accept the userid and password and as URL parameters using Application Integrator , ie: those applications that have post method cannot be integrated.
   Please help me out with clearing this doubt.
Thnx,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Abdulbasit ,
    Please give me more details , we have a Lotes Notes Web application hosted on Domino server , another is J2EE based application. I need to achieve SSO to each of these applications from the SAP Portal.
   I followed the below listed steps:
   Created two systems one for each Web application based on the template generated from the application integrator. I entered the user mapping values for both the systems.
   I also created two IViews. When I preview , the logon page of the web application opens but the user credentials are not passed to the application.
   Please help me with the steps to achieve the SSO , from the reply I interpret that Logon ticket method was used to achieve the SSO and user mapping.
    My email id is : [email protected]
    It will be of immense help to me.
Thnx,
Pravesh Puria.

Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

Hi,
I will create a new web application, i.e named newApp. Then I create a file structure as follows:
- <server-root>/newApp
- <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF
- <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF/classes

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

Seems that it happened due to updating weblogic version (changes in jee, jms, ejb, jpa versions?). Could you please advice me how to fix this issue?
Thanks, Ilya

I belive there is no problems for this change, because the versions are the same for java at least for OaS, for weblogic you should see documentation. I think you can try deploying you app to new environment if you get any noclassdeffound error or something like it then you could have problems for versions.

Web pages from scratch

Is there a way to build web pages from scratch and upload them via LOADPSP.EXE, similarly to the way you can do it witht the web toolkit?
For example:
<html>
<body>
<% some plsql code here %>
show output here: <%=variable%>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Christoph

Thanks for the reply.
I found a little workaround that gives me what i need:
1. I create the psp page in Dreamweaver
2. Load it in to my test database with loadpsp.
3. Copy the procedure body from the test database into a PL/SQL Dynamic Content region.
The only changes i have to make are changing the procedure parameters to use htmldb bind variables.

Accessing web application from users' PC

Hi there,
My server is up and running, appsets are working nicely and everything works perfectly. But I have an issue when accessing the web application from a user PC on the same domain, and I'm not sure if it's down to me or not.
From the users' PC, with BPC for Excel open, I click on the link for BPC Web, and Internet Explorer opens and attempts to take me to the web app. But if the address contains the server name, it doesn't work. If I manually type the IP address in instead it works.
Why is this? Have I forgotten to do something, or is it a DNS problem, or other local IT issue?
I'm sure I've missed something really silly, but can't figure out what!
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Jason

Hi Akim,
I think this is actually part of a wider problem - I have been testing this on my local PC (over the clients' VPN) and now it works fine. But I just logged onto the clients PC using Webex and I can't get into ANYTHING! Not the Admin client, not BPC for Office, not the web application - nothing.
I think I need to go there on monday and actually go through this with one of their network guys - I'm not convinced that it's a problem with the server anymore!
Thanks for your help - I will keep you posted!

Creating a Java content tree from scratch and then marshal it to XML data

Hi,
After binding a schema using JAXB binding, I wrote a class to create a Java content tree from scratch and then marshal it to create an XML document. To see if the resulting xml document is correct, I opened it in XMLSpy and tried to validate it against the original schema.... I got the following error:
"Unable to locate a reference to a supported schema kind (DTD, DCD, W3C Schema, XML-Data, Biz Talk) within this document instance"
Then I realized that the generated xml document didnot contain the following for the root element:
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" and xsi:schemaLocation="....."
i.e, the XML Schema Instance namespace and the schema location.
How do I get these attributes incorporated into the XML document generated during the marshal process.
Thanks.

How do I get these attributes incorporated into the XML document generated during the marshal process.
Add xmlns:xsi and xsi:schemaLocation attributes to the root element in the schema.
<xsd:attribute name="xmlns:xsi" fixed="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>

Can you reload web application from the Weblogic console?

          Good day, eh!
          Can you reload all your jsp/servlet classes of your

Hi,
          I agree it is a much needed feature. Suppose I just change an init
          param of one application in the web.xml, I don't want to take down the
          15 other webapps running on my server just to be able to have that web
          app restart and re-read is configuration. Of course, I could program
          some servlet that allows changing application attributes and to enable
          restarting, but really this a)does not cover all the cases (i.e. addind
          an EBJ reference binding to web.xml) b) should be provided by the app
          server, not programmed by every little programmer again & again.

Jsf web application has to be restarted everytime a broken pipe exception

Hi,
My jsf web application using tomcat is experiencing a sql exception "java.sql.SQLException: System or internal error java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" when it tries to connect to database.
Everytime this exception happens I have to restart the application and the application runs fine then.
Is there a way to handle this exception that we don't have to restart the application.
-kap

It depends....
How do you have (where) the connection, how you obtain them, etc?

Access an Application Module Client Interface in a JSF Web Application

How to Access an Application Module Client Interface in a JSF Web Application
I use this code but class ValueBinding is deprecated in JDeveloper11g
FacesContext fc=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb=fc.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
BindingContext bc=(BindingContext)vb.getValue(fc);
DCDataControl dc=bc.findDataControl("SRServiceDataControl");
ApplicationModule am=(ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();

user581394,
JDeveloper 11 and the introduction of ADF Faces RC introduces a new dependency, which is JSF 1.2. The createValueBinding on the FacesContext object is deprecated in JSF 1.2. To resolve an expression in JSF 1.2 use the following method or something similar.
    public static Object resolveExpression(String expression) {
        FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
        Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp =

Call Web Applications from Xcelsius using LiveOffice connections

Hi,
I have read the HTG: "How To... Call BEx Web Applications from SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (Xcelsius) and vice versa" here on SDN. Problem is that it is using BW Connection as connection.
Is it be possible to call web applications using Live Office connections?
Br,
Sonni

Hi Sonni,
If you are building dashboard using live office connection and you want to give a drill down to detailed webi or crystal report, you can use Open document interface. In the particular HTG you have mentioned, Open document approach is not possible because dashboard is based on SAP BW. Since you are using live office, i guess you have the source report published in BOE and you can use open document approach here.
If this is not your requirement please mention your exact requirement.
Hope it helps you.

Nikhil Joy

Terminate web application from servlet

It will be very helpful to me if any one found me the solution for the following.
How can i terminate web application from servlet and also i want to close the browser window immediately from servlets?

How can i terminate web application from servletWhat do you mean by this?
also i want to close the browser window immediately
from servlets?The servlet can't close a browser window, but could send back client code that closes it (i.e. JavaScript as part of an HTML page).

Get installation path of web application from class file

Can anybody tell me how I can get the path on disk to the root of my web application from a class file. Im running under Tomcat 5.5 and I have 3 copies of the same webapp under 3 differenet directories:
C:\xxx\dev\yyy
C:\xxx\test\yyy
C:\xxx\prod\yyy
Based on which directory the web-app, I need to do a lookup on a properties file to pull the right jdbc connection to connect to the appropriate database. So it would be similar to using getServletContext().getRealPath("/") from a .jsp file.
Thanks,
Jason

Sorry for not clarifying. I have a properties file with name/value pairs. I know where this properties file is and I can do a lookup in it. In this file, I have jdbc connection names which point to corresponding jdbc resources in my context.xml file.
jdbcDevDatabase=jdbc/tfmDev
jdbcTestDatabase=jdbc/tfmTest
jdbcProdDatabase=jdbc/tfmProd
These connections are for dev, test and prod databases. Now based on where the web-app is installed on disk, i.e-dev dir, test dir, prod dir, I want to retrieve the corresponding connection. The problem is I don't know how to get a handle to the web apps real path on disk without access to the request object or using getServletContext().getRealPath("/") which are not available to me in a class file.
Thanks,
Jason
