Factsheet, infoblock, custom class

Hello,
Has anyone accessed text from their CRM system in tables
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
Normally accessed in sapscript or ABAP with the read_text function in their Fact Sheet. We created a text type on the opportunity that we would like to include in our factsheet.
Also how can I add qty and revenue amt of individual products in an opportunity to factsheet.

Hi Gauri,
Try to deactive the implementation of the standard action in SE18 e active the custom action.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Caíque Escaler

Adding info blocks in a custom class for Factsheet

Hi Experts,
I need to create a custom class by copying the standard class 'CL_CRM_CCKPT_PROCESS_OPEN' which should accept input as Activity Types. At present this class only accepts Number of months as Input. This added input field should accept individual multiple values & Ranges and F4 help also needs to be attached for the field.
I would like to know how to add this new input field to the class 'CL_CRM_CCKPT_PROCESS_OPEN' .
Any valuable help would be appreciated & points would be rewarded generously for the same.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi,
You can copy and include your fields in the class using transaction SE24.
According to your subject line you are trying to modify an existing factsheet display you own data. I would suggest instead of creating a modifying an existing class, implement your own function module and call this function module directly from the smartform used to for factsheet. This is an easier way to implement modification of factsheets instead of using the classes and displaying the data.
Reward with points if this helps.

Unit testing: Mocking custom classes with null

Hi,
I was trying to save time on testing the usual hashCode() and equals() methods so I got this class: http://www.cornetdesign.com/files/BeanTestCase.java.txt
I altered it a bit as it wasn't handling standard classes only primitives.
Anyway, I got to the point to include my own custom classes.
I have to create a 'mock' object for my class properties, e.g. field.getType().newInstance()
Fine, but there are some tricky instances. E.g. when I'd like to create an instance of java.net.URL which takes a URL as String in the constructor.
This is almost impossible to automate as it has to be a valid URL format not just a random String.
So, I thought I set them to null, e.g.
assertTrue(o1.equals(o2))
as both properties are null.
Is this the right approach you think?
I welcome any suggestions.
My initial idea was to save enormous amount of time automating the hashCode() and equals() method tests as they took so long to write.
Thanks

Trouble would be that you are only testing the null branch of the equals or hashCode, which typically have to check for null, then if not null do an actual comparison.
It's worth the effort of learning to use a package such as EasyMock to create and program mock objects. It's tidiier if you are progamming to interfaces, however, but it will mock ordinary objects, though probably not if they are final.
What you could do is to define a factory interface, and have a table of anonymous classes wich generate various types. In effect create a library of dumy object factories.
Something like:
private interface DummyGenerator {
      Object generate(int idx);
      Class<?> getType();
private final static DummyGenerator[] generatorsTable {
    new DummyGenerator() {
           public Object generate(int idx) {
             return new URL("http://nowhere.com/" + idx);
     public Class<?> getType() { return URL.class; }
.. generators for other classes
private final static Map<Class<?>, DummyGenerator> genMap = new HashMap<Class<?>, DummyGenerator>(generatiorsTable.length);
static {
    for(DummyGenerator gen : generatorsTable)
        genMap.put(gen.getType(), gen);
}

Need help calling and looping custom classes

Hi, I am writing a code with custom classes in it and another program that calls upon all of the classes in the first program. I can get the second one (L6) to call upon and execute all of the classes of the first (Foreign). However, I need the second one to loop until quit is selected from the menu on Foreign and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Here are the codes:
L6:
public class lab6
public static void main(String[] args)
Foreign camount = new Foreign();
camount = new Foreign();
camount.get();
camount.print();
camount.intake();
camount.convert();
camount.vertprint();
System.out.println(camount);
Foreign:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Foreign
private String country;
private int choice;
private float dollars;
private float conversionValue;
private float conversionAmount;
public Foreign()
country = "null";
choice = 0;
dollars = 0;
conversionValue = 0;
conversionAmount = 0;
public void get()
     Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.println("Foreign Exchange\n\n");
System.out.println("1 = U.S. to Canada");
System.out.println("2 = U.S. to Mexico");
System.out.println("3 = U.S. to Japan");
System.out.println("4 = U.S. to Euro");
System.out.println("0 = Quit");
System.out.print("\nEnter your choice: ");
choice = Keyboard.nextInt();
public void print()
System.out.print("\nYou chose " + choice);
public void intake()
     Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
          if (choice >= 1 && choice <= 4)
switch (choice)
          case 1: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Canada");
                    conversionValue = 1.1225f;
                    country = ("Canadian Dollars");
                    break;
          case 2: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Mexico");
                    conversionValue = 10.9685f;
                    country = ("Mexican Pesos");
break;
          case 3: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Japan");
                    conversionValue = 118.47f;
                    country = ("Japanese Yen");
break;
          case 4: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Euro");
                    conversionValue = 0.736377f;
                    country = ("European Union Euros");
break;
               System.out.print("\nEnter U.S. dollar amount: ");
          dollars = Keyboard.nextFloat();
public void convert()
conversionAmount = conversionValue * dollars;
public void vertprint()
System.out.println("\nCountry = " + country);
System.out.println("Rate = " + conversionValue);
System.out.println("Dollars = " + dollars);
System.out.println("Value = " + conversionAmount);
public String toString()
String line;
line = "\n" + country + " " + conversionValue + " " + dollars + " " + conversionAmount;
return line;
I appreciate any help anyone can give me. This is driving me crazy. Thanks.

1. first you need to write method to get choice value from Foreign class.
simply add this method.
   public class Foreign {
      // ... Add this
      public int getChoice() {
         return choice;
   }2. Then in your main, you can obtain with previos method.
public static void main(String[] args) {
   Foreign camount = new Foreign();
   // remove this. you alredy create an instance in last statement.
   //camount = new Foreign();
   int choice = 0;
   do {
      camount.get();
      choice = camount.getChoice();
      // your process...
   } while (choice != 0);
}

Use of deployment classpath or shared-libraries to pick-up "custom" classes

Hi,
I’m trying to determine an approach to dealing with how classes are found in a deployed ADF application via classpath, etc. I’ve tried to explain the situation below as best I can so it’s clear. If you have any comments/suggestions as to how this could be done, it would be much appreciated
Current Application structure:
Consists of an application initially deployed to OC4J 10.1.3.4 using an alesco-wss.ear file
Application contains a single Web Module, initially deployed as wss.war file within the alesco-wss.ear file above.
The Web Module (wss) was built in JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 using 2 projects, a Model and ViewController project, and uses ADFBC.
The Model project seems to also generate an alesco-model.jar file in the /WEB-INF/lib/ folder, even though Model classes are in the /WEB-INF/classes/ folder below?
Exploded structure of application on application server looks something like:
applications/alesco-wss/META-INF/
/application.xml <- specifies settings for the Application such as Web Module settings
/wss/
/app/ <- directory containing application .jspx pages protected by security
/images/ <- directory containing application images
/infrastructure/ <- directory containing .jspx files for login, logout and error reduced security
/skins/ <- directory containing Skin image, CSS and other files
/WEB-INF/
/classes/ <- directory containing application runtime class files as per package sub-directories
/lib/ <- JAR files used by application (could move some to shared-libaries?) – seems to contain alesco-model.jar
/regions/ <- directory containing .jspx pages used for Regions within JSPX template page
/templates/ <- directory containing template .jspx pages used for development (not really required for deployment)
/adf-faces-config.xml
/adf-faces-skins.xml
/faces-config.xml
/faces-config-backing.xml
/faces-config-nav.xml
/region-metadata.xml
/web.xml
testpage.jspx <- Publicly accessible page just to test
The application runs successfully using the above deployment structure.
We plan to use the exploded deployment structure so that updates to pages, etc. can be applied individually rather than requiring construction and re-deployment of complete .EAR or .JAR files.
What I’m trying to determine/establish is whether there is a mechanism to cater for a customisation of a class, where such a class would be used instead of the original class, perhaps using a classpath mechanism or shared library?
For example, say there is a class “talent2.alesco.model.libraries.ModelUtil.class”, this would in the above structure be found under:
applications/alesco-wss/META-INF/classes/talent2/alesco/model/libraries/ModelUtil.class
Classes using the above class would import “talent2.alesco.model.libraries.ModelUtil”, so they effectively use that full-reference to the class (talent2.alesco.model.libraries as a path, either expanded or within a JAR).
From the Oracle Containers for J2EE Developer’s Guide 10.1.3 page 3-17, it lists the following:
Table 3–1 Configuration Options Affecting Class Visibility
Classloader Configuration Option
Configured shared library <code-source> in server.xml
<import-shared-library> in server.xml
app-name.root <import-shared-library> in orion-application.xml
<library> jars/directories in orion-application.xml
<ejb> JARs in orion-application.xml
RAR file: all JARs at the root.
RAR file: <native-library> directory paths.
Manifest Class-Path of above JARs
app-name.web.web-mod-name WAR file: Manifest Class-Path
WAR file: WEB-INF/classes
WAR file: WEB-INF/lib/ all JARs
<classpath> jars/directories in orion-web.xml
Manifest Class-Path of above jars.
search-local-classes-first attribute in orion-web.xml
Shared libraries are inherited from the app root.
We have reasons why we prefer not to use .JAR files for these “non-standard” or “replaced” classes, so prefer an option that doesn’t involve creating a .JAR file.
Our ideal solution would be to have such classes placed in an alternate directory that is referred to in a classpath such that IF a class exists in that location, it will be used instead of the one in the WEB-INF/classes/ directories, and if not such class is found it would then locate it in the WEB-INF/classes/ directories.
- Can a classpath be set to look for such classes in a directory?
- Do the classes have to replicate the original package directory structure within that directory (<dir>/talent2/alesco/model/libraries)?
- If the class were put in such a directory, without replicating the original package directory structure, I assume the referencing “import” statements would not locate it correctly.
- Is the classpath mechanism “clever” enough to search the package directory structure to locate the class (i.e. just points to <dir>)?
- Or would the classpath mechanism require each individual path replicating the package structure to be added (i.e. <dir>/talent2/alesco/model/libraries/ and any other such package path)?
If we are “forced” to resort to the use of JAR files, does a JAR file used for the purpose of overwrite/extending a sub-set of classes in the original location need to contain ALL related package classes? Or does it effectively “superset” classes it finds in all JAR files, etc. in the whole classpath? That is, it finds talent2.alesco.model.libraries.ModelUtil in the custom.jar file and happily goes on to get the remainder of talent2.alesco.model.libraries classes in the other core JAR/location. Or does it need all of them to be in the first JAR file for that package?
Any help would be appreciated to understand how these various class visibility mechanisms could be used to achieve what is required would be appreciated.
Gene

So, nobody's had any experience with deploying an ADF application, and providing a means for a client to place custom classes in such a way as they're used in preference to the standard application class, effectively to implement a customised class without overwriting the original "standard" class?

Thanks for help.

If you are talking SE54 and Maintenance Views, when I do an SM30 on the Maintenance View and do SYSTEM->STATUS, I see GUI STATUS ZULG on program SAPLSVIM. If you look at that status, I see two buttons with dynamic text. The first one is call GPRF and has dynamic text VIM_PR_STAT_TXT_CH. You can find a suitable PBO event to set the text of that function code and if that works, find a suitable PAI event to respond to that function.
I recall finding some documentation on customizing the GUI STATUS but no luck today trying to find it.
Let us know how it goes.

Xcode 6.1.1 Custom Class Outlets Missing

I'm running through the basic Apple tutorial on iOS App Development https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapi OS/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011343-CH2-SW1
Running Xcode Version 6.1.1 (6A2008a)
After creating custom View Controller and TableView Controller classes (Tutorial:Storyboards) I find that although the .m files appear in Build Phases they do not appear in the drop down menu for custom class. If I enter the name manually it correctly opens the .h files when clicking on the right arrow to the right of the custom name.
The standard outlets of View Controller (Search Display Controller & View), do not appear in the connections inspector of the custom class.
A test IBAction method does not appear as an option when connecting a Bar Button Item to the Exit object of the Custom View Controller.
Searching the internet for a solution I can find lots of similar stories with random work arounds, none of which have worked for me. However, most of these have been for previous versions of Xcode and one user reported that upgrading to 6.1 solved the problem.
I have redone this a few time to ensure that it isn't finger trouble and I do have a number of years of cocoa/Xcode experience, I'm just getting used to storyboards.
I have tried:
Clean project / Delete Derived Data / Relaunch Xcode
Delete references to .h & .m files of custom classes and then added them back in.
Is there any way of 'forcing' Xcode to recheck for Outlets and Actions in custom classes?

To find out where th problem is, either Xcode or something in your environment, you should try to run Xcode as a different user.
The guest account is ideal for this as your are sure you will get a clean environment. You could also make a new user account and try running from there. If Xcode starts then the problem is something in your original user environment. If Xcode fails to stsrt with the new account then there is a system wide problem.
BTW is your account an admin account or a regular account?

Build app with ODT and Oracle UDT - Error while creating custom class

Hello CShay,
I am testing you sample code to create UDT with ASP.Net app. It is also published in Oracle magazine.
The article is also published at following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-may/o38net.html
I am able to successfully implement all the steps before "Using Custom Class Wizard". When I right click on any of the object (CUSTOMER_OBJ, PHONELIST_OBJ, and ADDRESS_OBJ) and select Generate Custom Class, I get the following error:
Oracle custom class wizard.
Class can be generated only for either C#, VB or Managed C++ projects.
Am I missing any thing?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes I confirm that I choose File->New Website.
I don't see the following option
File -> New Project, and then under Visual C#, select ASP.NET Web Application
I am using VS2005 Professional Edition.
The options I see under Visual C# are:
If I click on
Windows tab:
Windows Application
Windows Control Library
Console Application
Empty Project
Class Library
Web Control Library
Window Servcie
Crystal Report Application
and Search Online Templates in My Templates tab.
Couple of options for Smart Device which also doesn't include ASP.Net
then Database, Starter kits and Office tabs which also doesn't include ASP.net thing.
I don't know how did you see that option or you might be using different version of VS (Enterprise).
But right now I am stuck.
Please provide me your valuable comments.
Thanks for your help.

Reproducing Incident Form Elements in a Custom Class

Hello again everyone,
I am trying to rollout a completely separate module in SCSM to record MACD (Move/Add/Change/Delete) requests. I decided to use the OOB incident module as my base class as it already contained many fields I require (I inherited the properties
and relationships) and created a new form assembly in Visual Studio to wire the properties to.
After created the form and labels, I imported the .dll into the Authoring Tool so I can just drag out each property from the MP explorer onto the form. Everything works except for the last few fields which are a bit more complex than a standard list or textbox.
I cannot seem to add the controls for the more complicated items like "Affected Services" or "Affected Items", when I try to drag them out to the form I get an error saying cardinality is not set to 1... I am guessing this is because
its trying to map a relationship between a workitem and a service instead of my custom class and a service...
So I went back into Visual Studio and added a ListView to the form, thinking I will have to wire the data bindings inside the form itself. However, I am stuck as I am not sure where "Services" are being written to, as I will need this location
to reference in my empty ListView. I have provided my code and commented where I believe I am missing logic. Thank you in advance for any help!
Note: "servicerelatestoworkitem" is not actually an object, my logic is conceptual and I still have not found which class/object the list of services is being written to.
C# Code containing button logic (an add button to add a service to the ListView, and a delete button to remove a service from the ListView.
private void add_services_button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
   // Open list of Services here, allow user to pick a service, then add selected service to "servicerelatestoworkitem"
   // AffectedServicesListView is populated from servicerelatestoworkitem
private void del_services_button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    // Test to see if item is being selected and display selected item to confirm ability to manipulate variable
    try
        var itemSelected = ListView.GetIsSelected(AffectedServicesListView);
        MessageBox.Show(itemSelected.ToString());
    catch (Exception ex)
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    // Remove selected item from servicerelatestoworkitem and refresh AffectedServicesListView
XAML Code containing the list view and two buttons: (Note: The binding is most likely incorrect, I was just experimenting with it)
<ListView x:Name="AffectedServicesListView" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="95" Margin="10,414.6,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="521" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AffectedServicesListView, Mode=Default, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
                        <ListView.View>
                            <GridView>
                                <GridViewColumn/>
                            </GridView>
                        </ListView.View>
                    </ListView>
                    <Button x:Name="add_services_button" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="470.55,382.749,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="27.674" Height="26.851" Click="add_services_button_Click" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">

                        </Button.Background>
                    </Button>
                    <Button x:Name="del_services_button" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="503.224,382.749,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="27.776" Height="26.851" Click="del_services_button_Click" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">

                    </Button>

Cardinality is a property of relationships classes, not a property of specific relationships. each type of relationship has it's own cardinality values, but the engine only really recognizes "one" and "many". it makes sense to say that
the "affected user" relationship is many to one, because Each work item can have one and only one affected user, but each users may be the affected user of many work items. The Related work items relationship is a many to many, because each workitem
may be related to many other work items. it doesn't make sense to say this specific relationship between this IR and that user is "many to one", because each instance is only between one specific object and another specific objects. the cardinality
just controls how many of those specific relationships instances can exist for each type of relationship.
There are no out of the box controls for many to many relationships. the Instance Picker control is designed to support one to one and many to one relationships. you'd have to write your own controls for support many to one relationships. Consider Travis
Wright's SR Example for 2010, since most of this code should execute in 2012 and 2012r2 with only minor modifications.
You'd have to either find the control that defines it, like with the history tab, or recreate it using the
authoring tool or
Visual Studio.

Capture Customer Class in time of BP creation from Screen

Hi All,
I am facing a problem that I need to capture Customer Class , Sales Area Template and ID type in time of BP creation in DCHCK event. I have to check if user is putting these value correctly or not. If user entered wrong value then I have to through error message and not to save to BP.
Foe example I am using 'BUP_BUPA_BUT000_GET' to get all other data along with BP type and so on.
Plesae help regarding this if any one is aware of it.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
asaha... I want to know how it would be done ?
by ABAP customization or in the CRM IMG itself ?

SE24 or In-line Declaration of Custom Class to be Used in a Custom Exit ???

After our implementation of a custom screen in EXIT_SAPLIE01_007, the function-group XQSM contained the following custom elements:
XQSM
    Function Modules
      EXIT_SAPLIE01_007     (this just includes ZXQSMU06)
    PBO Modules
      STATUS_9000
    PAI Modules
      USER_COMMAND_9000
    SCREENS
      9000                  (custom screen (modal dialog box))
    GUI_STATUS
      9000                  (status for custom screen)
    INCLUDES
      ZXQSMI01              (contains PAI module)
      ZXQSMO01              (contains PBP module)
      ZXQSMTOP              (declares custom global variables)
      ZXQSMZZZ              (this just includes ZXQSMI01/ZXQSMO01
      ZXQSMU06              (this calls custom screen 9000)
Then the users decided they wanted an editable ALV on custom screen 9000 (to handle multi-item GR postings in MIGO, not just single-item postings.)
Since I never coded an editable ALV before, I first created a working editable ALV program from the SAP demo program BCALV_EDIT_03 plus some additions/modifications kindly provided by Uwe Schieferstein down in the ABAP Objects Forum.
But now I'm stuck because I don't know which components of the XQSM function group I should put the following pieces of code in:
1)
class lcl_event_receiver definition deferred.
data: g_event_receiver type ref to lcl_event_receiver.
2)
class lcl_event_receiver definition.
public section.
private section.
endclass.
3)
class lcl_event_receiver implementation.
endclass.
Can someone please tell me where (1-3) belong inside XQSM - what components they should be put into?
Or should I just build a custom class in SE24 and use it in the exit ??? (By "use it", I mean instantiate it and call its methods.)
It seems to me that if I could define the class in SE24,it would be a lot easier, because everything else except (1-3) above clearly belongs in the PBO or PAIof the screen.

Hello David
In thread
how to activate or deactivate a user-exit based a specific condition
I have described a general strategy for implementing CMOD/SMOD exits. In your case, I would create a function group <b>ZXQSM</b> having two function modules:
- <b>Z_EXIT_SAPLIE01_007</b> (= copy of EXIT_SAPLIE01_007) => calls the following fm
- <b>Z_EXIT_SAPLIE01_007_SPEC</b> (-> specific exit that is executed only if certain conditions are fulfilled
All you implementations for you editable ALV grid belong into your customer function group ZXQSM.

Problem Using Custom Classes in UCCX8.5.1 SU3

Dear All,
My team is facing problem in using Java custom classes for UCCX 8.5.1 SU3
The problem is that we have created some conditional prompts for currency in different languages, our custom java class contains two mathods GetEnglishString(parameter set) and GetUrduString(parameter set). We are able to use/call both methods one by one and both at same time in CCX Editor and validate the script successfully but when we set the script as application it failed.
We tried to use both methods one by one and found that script with GetEnglishString is working ok but when we place GetUrduString (alone as well) MIVR logs say that method is unknown altough CCX Editor does not give us any error. We triend to restard Administration and Engine Services several time but to no avail. If somebody know the reason and solution kindly share it ASAP.
Regards
Kashif Surhio

Hi
In that case I would double check you have uploaded the file, and restart the server completely. In testing we found that restarting the engine didn't always reload the classes.

Parsing XML in a Custom Class Problem

Hi, I am trying to parse an XML file from a class within my web app. It isn't a servlet, just a custom class to parse the xml.
However, I keep getting a null document printed when I try to print the document to the log file. This is the class:public class XMLParser
     Document document;
     public XMLParser()
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setValidating(true);
          factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
          try
               DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               document = builder.parse(new File("SiteDescriptor.xml"));
          catch(SAXException sxe)
               // Error generated during parsing
               Exception x = sxe;
               if(sxe.getException() != null)
                    x = sxe.getException();
               x.printStackTrace();
          catch(ParserConfigurationException pce)
               pce.printStackTrace();
          catch(IOException ioe)
               ioe.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"+document+"\n\n\n\n\n");
}I know this code works as I use the exactly the same code in another application with the same XML file.
This is the XML file:
<root host="http://localhost:8080">
     <branch name="Home Page" shortname="/" type="Home Page" instanceid="44987" typeid="1227">
          <branch name="Films Archive" shortname="/films" type="Branch" instanceid="96354" typeid="1778">
               <leaf name="Evil Dead" shortname="/films/evil_dead" type="Films" instanceid="58985" typeid="1147"/>
               <leaf name="1984" shortname="/films/1984" type="Films" instanceid="49741" typeid="1147" />
          </branch>
     </branch
</root>And this is what I get when i print the document to the log file:
[#document: null]
Does anyone know why I cant get the class to read the document? I'm not getting any file not found exceptions or any other errors in the log.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi duffymo, I have tried as you suggested. I created a ServletContextListener implementation and in my web.xml file I have defined the XML file as a <context-param> and I have also defined the listener.
The ServletContextListener implementation creates the XML file as a resource using getResourceAsStream() and passes the InputStream to my parser. However, the parser still doesn't seem to work and prints out a null document in the log file: [#document: null]. Any ideas??
The web.xml file:
           <context-param>
          <param-name>siteDescriptor</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/SiteDescriptor.xml</param-value>
     </context-param>
          <listener>
          <listener-class>cms.beans.InitializeXML</listener-class>
     </listener>
......and the ServletContextListener is:
public class InitializeXML implements ServletContextListener
     static InputStream in = null;
     public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce)
          ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();
          String siteDescriptor = context.getInitParameter("siteDescriptor");
          try
               in = context.getResourceAsStream(siteDescriptor);
          catch(Exception e)
               context.log("Error creating xml resource: " + e);
     public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce)
     public static InputStream getXMLResource()
          return in;
}Thanks,
Paul

Accessing custom classes from JSP

Hi Guys,
I am having some problems accessing my custom classes from my JSP.
1) I've created a very simple class, SimpleCountingBean that just has accessors for an int. The class is in the package "SimpleCountingBean". I compiled this class locally on my laptop and uploaded the *.class file to my ISP.
2) I've checked my classpath and yes, the file "SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean.class" is located off of one of the directories listed in the classpath.
3) When I attempt to use this class in my JSP, via the following import statement:
import "SimpleCountingBean.*"
I get the following compile error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean
I'm pretty sure that my classpath is properly setup because when I purposely garble the import statement, I get the "package not found" compile error.
Do I need to upload some other files in addition to the class file? Any suggestions would of course be appreciated.
Sonny.

Trying to get some clearer view.. so don't mind..
So you uploaded all your .jsp files into your account which is:
home/sonny
and it compiles and work. But custom classes doesn't seems to be working, where did you place your classes?
From my knowledge of tomcat, classes are normally placed in, in this case:
home/sonny/web-inf/classes
Maybe it differs from windows enviroment to *nix enviroment.. well, I'm just saying out so if its not the case.. don't mind me.

How to register mouselistener for custom class?

i m trying to create a custom class (extending java.awt.Rectangle)which responds to mouse gestures.
i m using it as an object on my drawpad which responds to mouse behavior
like rollover.
the rollover color change is achieved using canvas' graphics object triggerd by my cutom class
i m not able to register a mouseevent for the custom class.
can someone help me in achieving this?
thanks in advance
z_idane

Something like this? Don't think I'd be likely to extend Rectangle, myself, but anyway...
public class HotSpot extends Rectangle implements MouseMotionListener
    private boolean hover = false;
    // add constructors to taste
    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
        if (this.hover != (contains(e.getX(), e.getY())
            this.hover = ! this.hover;
            if (this.hover)
                // "mouse enter" code here
            else
                // "mouse exit" code here
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
}Obviously you'd need something like this elsewhere,
myDrawingPad.addMouseMotionListener(new HotSpot(...));

Factsheet, infoblock, custom class
