Does webstart submit cookies in its requests for server resources?

Our authentication system is cookie-based: after the user logs in from a browser, an authentication cookie is sent to the browser. This cookie must accompany every succeeding request to the server, or else access is denied. Browsers handle this automatically.
A logged-in browser gets a .jnlp file, launches javaws. javaws fails on its first request, for the first .jar file named in the .jnlp file. Did javaws fail to submit the cookie that is in the browser's cookie store? Is there any way to get javaws to include this cookie in its http requests? If it doesn't, it can't get any of the resources it needs from the server.
The new 1.5 documentation states that webstart and plugin provide automatic cookie support. But is this only for cookies exchanged between the launched applications and the server? Does/can javaws include cookies in its own server requests?

But is this
only for cookies exchanged between the launched
applications and the server? no.
Does/can javaws include
cookies in its own server requests?yes.
I was doing cookie management in our application before 1.5 Different users need to authenticate with the same application running. When we tried our app on 1.5 this feature stop working. There were two cookie values being put in the request. Mine and then Webstart's. Webstart in 1.5 installs its own CookieHandler. So I had to turn it off using the following code
//remove the cookieHandler installed by JavaWebStart
java.net.CookieHandler cookieHandler = java.net.CookieHandler.getDefault();
if (cookieHandler != null) {
java.net.CookieHandler.setDefault(null);
} If you read the documentation for CookieHandler you will notice that it is a callback for all HttpURLConnection. So every HttpURLConnection will callback to the global CookieHandler.
Just as a warning to all those checking your pre 1.5 JavaWebstart applications on 1.5. If you are doing your own cookie management it may break on 1.5.
So I have a question. Is there a way in the JNLP to specify that JavaWebstart only use cookie management for for cookies exchanged between the launched applications and the server?

Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility for server side browser detection

          Hi
          Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility or package for server side browser
          detection i.e. to know the browser details
          of the client with the first request.
          One such available product is BrowserHawk(http://www.cyscape.com).
          any thing similar to this available?
          Thanks in advance

Hey Mohammed,
          yes, you could use just wl server to do file uploading. in your html client
          code, you need to specify the type of the data that you are sending as
          follows:
          <form action="UploadTestServlet" enctype="multipart/form-data" method=POST>
          File: <input type=file name=file><br>
          <input type=submit>
          </form>
          This will send your file to be processed by the UploadTestServlet. You need to
          code UploadTestServlet yourself to parse and extract useful data. check out
          www.servlets.com for a utility class that does just that

User self request for a RESOURCE

Hi Experts,
I am facing the problem to self request the user for AD resource and getting the below error
Exception java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String was thrown in adapter "ADCS Create User". The Adapter Response was "java.lang.String" .Setting task status... "java.lang.String" does not correspond to a known Response Code. Using "UNKNOWN".
But in the admin console when user request for the AD resource through AccessPolicy/Resource Profile user can able to provisioning into the AD resource.
Thanks and regards,
Santosh

Hi
1) In process form i checked the auto populate and autosave option in this scenario administrator can easily provisioned into the AD resource and in the object form m populating organization filed.If i wont do this then i have to edit the the process form and save it, then only user can provisioned in to AD.
2) If i am not populate the fields then i am not getting the error which was sent in earlier post but showing pending status(without approval) and user not provisioned in AD.
3) In self request you don't populate the field, it stays null which results in the class cast exception in the provisioning code. as u said , in this case if i want to provision the user through Adminconsole and as well as user self request for Provisioning in AD Resource case a) From adminconsole user provisioned
b) User self request not working and showing status as pending.
Thanks and Regards,
Santosh

Can't get rid of automatic request for server connect.

When loggin in the computer tries to connect to an other computer in the house (the last time the computer was connected to this server (other comp.), it could not disconnect, and since then it tries to connect again by login). How do I get rid of this. As far as I can see, there is no loginscripts, automatorscripts, launchitems or anything that can be the course of this request.
Any surgestions??
Regards Bo-T

I have this same problem.
In my case, I was unable to set up my home network because my computer would not show the connected server in the Finder window. In order to Screen Share, I have to use the "Connect to Server" command in the "Go" menu.
In searching for a solution to my problem, I found an elegant workaround that enabled me to automatically connect to my server on login. Normally, this can be accomplished from System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items, but I couldn't find my server there (it wasn't appearing there, either). You might look in this area to see if there's a server being automatically connected there.
Since then, however, I've had to change the IP address for my main (G5) server, which also changed its name in the "Connect" box. This is a long way of saying I now have the same problem, where my computer tries to connect to my old server IP address, and I get the same error as you do.
I've been trying to find the post with the workaround to remember how I was able to do this, but have been unsuccessful.
I'm hoping someone will be able to provide the workaround; it might solve both of our problems.

Request for advice/resources r.e. filmmaking

Hi gurus,
I've just started filming and editing an instructional DVD, and I'm realizing what a steep learning curve I'm climbing up! One epiphany I had last night was that zooming in or zooming out on a subject in between cuts, without changing the camera angle, looks terrible. One second the camera's taking a wide-angle shot of me speaking, and "BING!" it jumps to a close-up. The effect is jarring.
There must be some good resources on the web outlining some basic principles for filming a speaker effectively (most of my DVD will be just me talking in front of the camera). Anyone know of any? I'm looking for a 30-minute crash course on the basics, not a PHD program.
Thanks!

I'm thinking I need to film as much material as I can in one take--you can't screw up an edit if there isn't one!
I realized this when I watched http://www.storyofstuff.com/ - This is the kind of presentation I want to make (sans cool graphics and white background), and Annie Leonard appears to do most of her schtick in one take.

Need a way to request for a web resource (e.g .css, .gif file) using jpdk

I am wondering if there is any way by which we can request for a web resource from portal to portlet provider.
Currently if in order to display image I need to make direct request to portlet provider rather than routing the request through portal. As a result of this there is no session affiliation.
My web resource can also be .jsp or .html file
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi Hernando,
It seems I haven't put my question correctly, probably following might help me explain you what I require:
Portlets are added to portal page. Portlet content is served by portlet provider. So when you are viewing a portal page containing portlets in reality portal requests the portlet data from portlet-provider. So the actual request flow is: Request for a portal page, portal analyzes portlets on the page, and then request the portlet provider for the content associated with portlet. In the exact reversal process data flow is: portlet-provider generates the content which is passed to portal & then portal forwards it to end user.
Now want something similar to happen with images (.gif files). But the problem is I am failing to create a link for this resource. I want the request for image to flow through portal very much the same way as its doing for the content. In other words I want to create a link which would inform portal to request for the resource to portlet provider. In this scenario portlet provider would pass the image to portal which would be forwarded to end user. Currently to get the images I am making direct request to portlet provider there by bypassing the request to flow through portal, which I do not want. Above all this resource can be anything a css file or a image or a .js file.
So can you suggest me how to achieve it?

Oracle ADF - multiple requests to server for just one click

Hi,
I am using jDev 11.1.1.4.0
In my application when I want to navigate from one page to another,
Two requests for server are,
one for current page and other for requested page.
The result is fine,
but why does these 2 requests?
I have used filters, one of those is,
<filter>
    <filter-name>SessionCheckFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>sample.webapp.filter.SessionCheckFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>SessionCheckFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>At first I thought it is happening because of URL pattern, i.e. both pages have same URL pattern.
But I have more than 2 pages which has same pattern.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Madhav

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

In my experience this is most of the times a server issue of the website provider.
Does this error occur on all Websites or just one specific Website?
Does this Website load in Internet Explorer (or any other Browser?)?

Thanks to cor-el for the suggestion given in the link. Sadly I have to report:
1) It is not a bookmark problem and it makes no difference whether I put
www.adobe.com or 192.150.18.117 in the address bar.
2) Cookies are allowed and there are no exceptions set
3) All cookies have been deleted
4) network.http.sendRefererHeader is already set to 2
That deals with the items in the linked document.
Additional information:
5) I can get into the adobe site from a clean "in memory" installation of PuppyLinux using Seamonkey using the same router and dhcp setup.
6) un-installing all Mozilla products - rebooting and re-installing makes no difference even when I remove the mozilla folder from docs&settings.
so as I said in previous post (as annonymous) not a lot makes sense.
