Duke's Bookstore Example (yet again)

Folks'es,
i'm currently ploughing my way through the j2ee tutorial 1.4. now that i come to the interesting parts (JSP et al) i'm stuck with getting the bookstore example to work.
i've done everything to compile and packge the bookstore.jar, i've created and populated the database, and created the data source in the server, all without problems.
but then it says under the heading "Specifying a Web Application's Resource Reference", that i should use deploytool and "1.Select the WAR (created in Chapters 11 through 22).". but i have no war file for the bookstore example! (i have some war's for the other examples and that's all.)
what am i missing? were did i go wrong?
any help is greatly appreciated.
thomas

well, i found it by just reading on (several 100s of pages).
you actually need to do all this much later (pg 443 ff).

  • Problems with Duke's Bookstore Examples (Chapter 3 of the J2EE 1.4 Tut)

    Hi
    Please help me, I am going through the J2EE tutorial (I have the Sun App Server 8 installed on a Win XP Service Pack 2 machine) but am running into problems.
    I'm having a problem with the

    Now I know that creating empty folders is not the solution so if anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong PLEASE tell me. I think there is something I need to add to a configuration file or something. I have re-installed the App Server but I still get the same problems. Thanks for your time!!

    Hi
    I have the same problem with the hello2 example, in the tutorial... You didnt??
    anyway maybe you are not setting the j2ee.home.
    somebody named " Jennifer " give me this advise ( i told you this to recognice that i was helped before)
    " Hello,
    You are probably not setting j2ee.home correctly. Please go to the following page and read section Building The Examples. Pay special attention to the Note in that section.

    good luck, see ya

    I have looked both "build.xml" and "database-ant.xml" to see if i see something, but as i told you i am need in J2EE and this is getting very difficult.
    It seems very easy in the tutorial, but in practice you have to do other things to make it works. I dont know why this information it is not in the tutorial.
    I really hope that somebody can help me...

  • Problems with database access in Servlet Apllication (Duke's Bookstore)

    Hi! My name is Elena Veretilo! I am so newbie in JavaEE. So I really need you help and advice!!!
    I started to learn JavaEE with "The JavaEE5 tutorial for Sun Java Application Server 9.1" (http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/) and this tutorial recommended the next examples: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/information/download.html. I try to work in NetBeans 6.0 and NetBeans 6.5.
    First problem - I couldn't add Sun Java Application Server 9.1 to NetBeans' server list - it just doesn't see the installed Sun Java Application Server 9.1.
    Second problem - I couldn't run Duke's Bookstore example (from tutorial examples) - something wrong with working (maybe creating or accessing) database. The Database Server started, GlassFish Server also started, so I don't know where the problem could be.
    There is exception:
    Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink Essentials - 2006.8 (Build 060830)): oracle.toplink.essentials.exceptions.DatabaseException
    Internal Exception: org.apache.derby.client.am.SqlException: Table/View 'WEB_BOOKSTORE_BOOKS' does not exist.Error Code: -1

    Query:ReadObjectQuery(com.sun.bookstore.database.Book)
    If anybody had learned this tutorial and examples or just know what I need to do, please help me!!!!! If it's possible, tell me step by step, what I need to do!
    And one more question - do I really need Sun Java Application Server 9.1 to work with or GlassFish includes Sun Java Application Server 9.1?????

  • Duke's Bookstore - bugs in tutorial

    Hello Friends,
    I've installed the latest J2EE 1.4 tutorial, and tried to compile Duke's Bookstore example.
    I got many errors - references to classes that don't exist.
    For example, database.BookDetails - the class is not in database package. The only class there is BookDBAO.java... etc.
    Sure Sun should do simple testing before releasing the tutorial for public download???
    I ran standard "asant build" task... Other examples build with no errors.

    The suggestion to add bookstore.jar was a response to the compilation errors.
    If you can't create the connection to the database, it's probably because you haven't created the JDBC resource in the Application Server or you haven't mapped the jdbc/BookDB resource reference in the WAR to the JDBC resource in the Application Server.
    If you still have a problem, there may be an error in the JDBC resource reference. I have seen the error "BookDB not found" if the JDBC resource reference has a trailing space. If you look in J2EE_HOME/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml you should have a JDBC resource defined as follows:
    <jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/BookDB" object-type="user" pool-name="PointBasePool"/>
    If there is an extra space after BookDB as shown below , the resource name won't be resolved correctly:
    <jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/BookDB " object-type="user" pool-name="PointBasePool"/>
    You can either edit domain.xml and restart the server, or recreate the JDBC resource.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • Screen resolution yet again

    Although this forum has taught me a lot about screen
    resolutions, view ports
    etc. I am still struggling.
    I am on a broadscreen laptop with screen resolution 1440 x
    900 - at the moment
    perhaps uncommon, but possibly gaining popularity.
    I have a relativeley positioned div containing an absoluteley
    positioned div,
    that has an image in it, all in a table with fixed width.
    The image in the absolute pos. div shifts as I change the
    view port. Why is
    that? I would expect it to always sit the specified px's away
    from the
    container div.
    http://www.spinsister.nl/blog/index.php
    , I am talking about the two pictures
    in the entry 'Vanuit de verte', at the moment at the top of
    the page.)
    Sorry to have to ask about this yet again. I read Nadia's
    article several times
    and thought I understood, but obviously don't.
    Regards,
    Adriana.

    Anyhow, you need a) to validate the page, and b) to put a
    valid and complete
    doctype on it so that you get out of quirks mode.
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#ffffff"><table width="770">
    <tr>
    <td valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"><div
    id="entryview">
    This is clearly invalid code, as is this -
    </tr>
    </tr>
    Also, you have HTML in your CSS files (there should only be
    CSS in CSS
    files) -
    <style type="text/css">
    I see what you are experiencing, and my experience tells me
    that something
    on the page is working in ways that you don't expect.
    Personally, I
    wouldn't use a table-based layout at all, but I realize you
    are already
    committed to it. Also, try adding borders to this rule -
    .gallerycontainer{
    position: relative;
    /*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to
    prevent
    overlaying*/
    and you'll see that it's not being expressed at all. That's
    likely the
    source of your problem.

  • Quicktime stealing file associations yet again

    I just want to say how fed up I am of Quicktime. It has been stealing file associations for years now, and everytime it happens I have to find out how to get them back again to the way I want it - and yet again, the 'changes' seem to have no effect. What is WRONG with Apple? It seems they are belligerently determined to mess with my time and I really have had enough of it.
    OK, any help please:
    Quicktime version 7.6.9, Windows Vista.
    I would like to be able to click on a .wav extension or a .mp3 extension and have it open in windows mediaplayer, NOT in a hijacked Quicktime web page that prevents me from clicking through to anything else.
    I have tried the following:
    Edit\Preferences\Quicktime Preferences\Browser\Filetypes...Mime Settings - cannot uncheck associations with Quicktime! (way to be a *******, Apple!), the settings on wav and mp3 still showed Windows mediaplayer
    Checked also the 'default programs' application in Vista itself. all looks in order there too.
    Apple *****.

    Re Tracer -- did this work for you? I have the same problem, but when I disable the QuickTime add-ons in Internet Explorer (one of the numerous attempted "fixes" I've tried), the only result is a QuickTime window still opens, but will not play the movie clip. This has not restored my ability to use Windows Media Player to view mpeg files.
    I don't know if it makes a difference, but my OS is Windows 7, and I'm using the latest version of Internet Explorer (10, I think -- I'm not at my own computer)
    If you were able to fix this annoying problem, could you please post your solution (assuming it's not the one suggested by pmarangoni, which as indicated above, didn't work for me)

    I have Adobe Acrobat installed as part of the CS6 suite.
    It has stopped working (yet again -- it has done that three of four times over the last year).
    I have spent days trying to repair it; etc. without any success.
    The last time this happened, it was necessary for someone from Adobe to reinstall it entirely, if I remember correctly.
    I give up. Can anyone tell me what I must do get the program to actually work?
    I spend more time trying to get Adobe Acrobat to work, than I do actually doing my work.
    My OS is Windows 8.1.  My system has 16 MB of RAM, and hard disks are not overfilled.
    I run update virus checker (Kaspersky) daily.
    Cheers,
    Hugh

    Hi Hugh ,
    Could you please tell what are the challenges you are facing while trying to access Acrobat ?
    Do you get any error message ?If yes ,please share the screen shot of the same.
    Please try the solution outlined here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html
    OR
    Try repairing it from Control panel, or try launching it with a different user account and check if it works or not.
    Install the latest updates for Acrobat X from the link : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    and check.
    Let us know how it goes,

  • Problem populating the Pointbase DB (WSDP bookstore example)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to access a PointBase DB from a WebService, as suggested by Sun's tutorial on this topic (http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/WebApp13.html#69868).
    I have verified that the PB installation works fine on it's own (through the sample code in SampleDatabaseApplication.java), and also that the Tomcat servlet engine provided in the WSDP (WebService Developer Pack) is running OK.
    But when I try to populate the DB (as described on the link above: ant create-book-db), nothing much happens (3 rows: "Buildfile: build.xml", "init:" & "create-book-db" are shown, and then it hangs).
    I tried to get around this by manually executing the 'books.sql' statements in the PB console, and that works without problem. But when I try to deploy the bookstore example from the WSDP, ant hangs in the same way as mentioned above. The following is written to the (jwsdp_)log:
    "Couldn't create bookstore database bean: Couldn't open connection to database: DbcpDataSourceFactory: driverClassName is required"
    I checked all setting many times over (the driverClassName is specified in server.xml, so I can't pinpoint what's causing the log entry) and they all seem OK. Please help!
    Cheers
    /Daniel

    Have you copied the PB client JAR to JWSDP_HOME/common/lib and restarted Tomcat?

  • ACR: .dng .jpg   How to prevent highlights from blowing out yet again?

    How can a .dng in ACR be "Saved As" a .jpg without the .jpg process blowing out the highlights all over again?
    The affected images have to be tweaked yet again in ACR.

    I'm sighing, but not because CS4 is missing any functionality.
    The point behind the little suggested workflow I listed above was that you do your color balancing, exposure, cropping, etc. in the Camera Raw tool and it stores metadata associated with each raw DNG file.  Then you open that file through Camera Raw and use it for publication via whatever process you want.
    Save images directly as JPEG from Camera Raw (if the sizes it offers are good for you).
    Save images through the Image Processor, which automates some simple processing tasks for you (e.g., resizing).
    Open individual images into Photoshop to post-process them (e.g., retouching a particular portrait or something).
    The key here is that Camera Raw provides the same developing settings however you (re)open the raw file for each subsequent use.
    If in light of all this you still DO want to save an intermediate file for later use, may I suggest .PSD format as that is a lossless format. Consider also saving in 16 bits/channel and ProPhoto RGB color space.
    Lightroom is a possible alternative, as it's highly optimized for flushing a large number of images through a workflow pipeline, though I don't need/use it because my digital darkroom activity is more along the lines of individual edits rather than production work.

  • SOS! Agh, yet again!

    Bought Toshiba L55 Laptop Aug.6,2014(had a bad feeling about it that day!)  Anyway, after emailing a division of Microsoft about all the issues I have had with this brand, yet again, its back!  
    1)Found log filed first week showing Tos. employee, while on the job, played enourmous amounts of games, not to test either in folders in obscure areas of System32 quite by accident.
    2)First week, after this, found what were logs by "said employee", downloading and installing every Internet Security program on the market to date!  
    3)Second week, found what I affectionately call " space litter " computer test logs, that employee did not have courtesy to remove.
    4)Second week, got curious about what one of my favorite software programs had today. The msinfo.ex program is a "desktop view" if you will, of the registry, so you do not have to mess with?? Regedit.exe. Oh my goodness, invalids everywhere. Toshiba
    employee put their own  UEFI on top of the Windows UEFI, INCOMPATIBLE? Yepper!
    4)Week 3, found logs everywhere stating Tos. employee did not know if my edition, was a) Windows Xp, Windows 7, 7 64, Vista or 8.0 or 8.1.  Hello?  What did I pay for again?(Windows 8.1).
    5)Found logs that stated Tos. employee did not know what kind of harddrive he or she (he) was mounting. Emp. had to connect remotely to find out, then proceeded to change volume serial numbers of all partitions.  Incompatible because the Microsoft Serial
    numbers did not go away. Return? I will get to that....if not today, another day.
    6)Weeks 4 to present day...started getting locked out of primary NTFS HDD partition.  Because I had no clue by second and third time, Toshiba had me already send for HDD repair...
    7)Last week started having same issues had b4 repair.  Did searches and thanks to some "wise sages" at Microsoft, found out about Bitlocker, TPM, DPAPI, Cipher and Fvevol.  Do any of these work?  Heck no because....you guessed it!
     Incompatible again!  or, fool at Tos. took them off!
    Latest?  Found log that machine auto-generated key for said Tos. employee so I have the great fortune not to be able to!
    Not only this, but at UEFI F11 when it asks for key, of course I don't have it!  No wonder!  Cannot generate new one when already assigned!
    Even if I could?  Animated supervisor keybox only 8 digits long!  F8 key?  Fool took it off and I was in process of putting it back last night and all was fine at bedtime!
    This morning? Ha!  Goes to f8 screen, then again to f11, will not go to rcovery or repair, so instead I get this huge black screen that says "fvevol.sys missing or some driver device, error 0xc000000f, contact your system admin."  No
    duh!!  The privacy expert at Microsoft said I should sue them, would, can't afford.  There is no command prompt and no, I did not do anything!  Urgh!  I get "Boot Edit Screen at C:\Windows\System32\winload.efi......[/no execute optin
    /no vga................]
    So before I exhaust myself with the " Return story", does anyone know how to help?  I do not have OS disks because Tos. to cheap to include and you ought to have seen the registry b4 this happened...(sheww, help?)

    You need to Restore Default Startup Type for BitLocker Drive Encryption Filter Driver but problem is you are unable to boot.
    Can you
    refresh or reset your OS?
    If the above fails then unfortunately you need the installation or recovery media to fix this.
    As your laptop is under the warranty so I shall suggest you to contact Toshiba support for help and assistance.
