File download using servlet and jsp. File Dialog comes twice

Hi
I was trying to download a file using servlet. There is a link which calls the servlet. When I click on the link file dialog box comes up. On selecting Open it again shows me the file dialog box. I changed the method from POST to GET and it worked properly.
My question is why does it work with GET and not with POST. I am aware of the differences between POST and GET but am not able to come to a rational explanation for this behaviour.
Please if anyone can explain this to me I am going crazy thinking an answer for this.
Thank you.
Regards
Jay

Hi Jay,
I also have the same question. Why does it work with GET and not for POST?. If you were able to find the answer please let me know.
Thank you.
Regards,

URGENT.........File Upload using Servlets and jsp

I am a new servlet programmer.......
iam using tomcat server......
can any one pls help in writing code for file upload using servlets and jsp without using multipart class or any other class like that....
Please URGENT..

Slow down! "Urgent" is from your perspective alone. I, myself, am not troubled or worried in the least.
hi ugniss
thanks for ur reply....sorry i was not
y i was not asked not to use multipart class or any
other class like that...is there any other
possibility to do file uploading from jsp to
servlet...
Just as an aside, a JSP is a Servlet. But even if I move beyond that, the question does not make sense. If you want a "JSP to upload to a Servlet", then simply do so in memory. You are still (likely) within the same scope of a given request. However, if instead you are referring to a JSP that is displayed on a browser, then really you are talking about HTML, which is what the browser will receive. And since you are now talking about a browser, your only real, viable option is a multi-part file upload. So, it is either server or it is browser. And either way, the question leads to very established options, as outlined above.
the main concept is.. in the browser the user selects
a particular file and clicks the button upload..after
clicking upload the jsp should sent the file to the
servlet in streams...there the servlet gets in and
saves in a server location........this is wat i hav
to do...
Okay. So, after reading my previous (redundant) paragraph, we have arrived at the crux of the issue. You have a JSP that will be output as HTML to a client (browser) which you want to upload content to your server (handled by a Servlet). So, you are now stuck again with multi-part. The requirement to not use multi-part is non-sensical. You can overcome it, say, if you write your own applet or standalone Swing client. However, if your users are invoking this functionality from a browser, you are limited by the options that W3C has provided you. Use multi-part.
is there aby possibilty to do this.....can any one
pls help....Take the advice to download and review Jakarta Commons FileUpload. Inform your management that their requirement makes no technical sense. Research on your own. There are dozens of examples (and tutorials) on file upload using multi-part. Embrace it. Live it. Love it.

Download local file using Servlet and JSP

Hello,
I will like to use a browser to download file on local system using serlvet and Jsp technology. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?
Any comment will be appreciate.
Thanks

Well you can just put the file in a folder that is accessible to the web server. Then have a link point to that file. That will cause the web browser to download the file.

File upload using Servlets and Weblogic

Hi,
I need to write a servlet that can upload a .doc file to a folder on the server. Can someone please let me know abot the code i need to write, as i am a novice in servlets.
Thanks in advance

Another, simpler (we think), such package is Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload. It's a servlet filter which can work in front of both servlets and JSP's. The servlet filter parses the uploaded file and stores it temporarily on the servers disk. When the servlet or JSP executes afterwards, it can obtain all the information about the file, from the request attributes. There is a decent manual for HTTP Multipart File Upload on the website.
Just search for "Jenkov HTTP Multipart" on Google and you'll find it. HTTP Multipart is free, open source, Apache Licsense.

File Upload using struts and jsp

Hi,
Anybody have sample coding for uploading files into the database using struts and jsp.
Thanking you in advance for providing the sample coding.
Veena

Hi Veena,
In Strutsconfig.xml you have to configure data sources like this
**************strutsconfig.xml******
<data-sources>
<data-source
type="org.apache.common.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property property="driverClassName"
vlaue="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
<set-property property="url" vlaue="jdbcracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID =ORCL)))"/>

<set-property property="username"
vlaue="scott"/>
<set-property property="password"
vlaue="tiger"/>
</data-source>
</data-sources>
Now here is how to get data source
public class LookupAction extends Action
public Double getQuote(String symbol,
HttpServletRequest request)
throws Exception
Double price=null;
Connection conn=null;
Statement stmt=null;
ResultSet rs=null;
DataSource dataSource=null;
try
dataSource = getDataSource(request);
conn= dataSource.getConnection();
stmt= conn.createStatement();
rs= stmt.executeQuery("select * from stocks where" + "symbol='" + symbol +"'");
if (rs.next())
=======================
After you can use the coding what I posted earlier.
For that you need to create a table with attachment as a CLOB col.
then with prepared statement I am setting value .
Plz try your self every thing ok you can get that.
all the best
bye

User Authentication using Servlet and JSp

Hi,
I am developing a web app where i need to implement user Authentication to allow members to view and upload files on a certain directory say /data
For this i am using a servlet as a controller which then forwads request to other jsps/servlets based on user response. I tried using servlet mapping in web.xml so that all browser requests would be directed to controller servlet and would branch from there on. However the problem all RequestDispatcher.forward() requests redirected to the servlet putting it in a loop.
Is there another way to achieve this. (Apart from using form-based Basic Authentication).
I am using Resin 1.2.8 servlet/jsp container.
Any response as soon as possible would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kushagra

RequestDispatcher.forward() cause the HTTP request to be sent through the request processing flow as if the original request for the resource being forwarded to.
It seems the servlet mapping you are talking about in web.xml should be made more specific. i.e. the mapping should be such that only your so called controller servlet will match up.
You might want to specify the mapping for the controller servlet to be noticeably/effectively different from the mapping for other servlets and JSPs.

How to use servlets and JSP for my homepage?

servlets and JSP are server-side program. If my homepage is on some web-hosting websites, can I upload the servlets and JSP to run it? if possible, where can I find such a web-hosting place?
sraiper

Not many hosts offer JSP or Servlet support (and some do but then stop and never give you a refund, grrrrrrr!!!!).
Also, ones that do support it can often be more expensive. There are some free ones but all the one's I've come across have problems that made them unsuitable for my needs.
Here is a list of hosts that support Java:
http://www.thejspbook.com/resources/category.jsp?id=1005&name=JSP+web+hosting
I can't comment on any from that list, however I use http://www.positive-internet.com they are a bit pricey but they have excellent support and are always happy to help with any Tomcat (the JSP/Servlet server they use)configuration issues or needs that you may have.

Web Server in Java- Running Servlets and JSP files?

There certainly are. Perhaps the best known is Tomcat, part of the Jakarta project at http://jakarta.apache.org.

What should I take note when converting Servlets to JSPs files?

Hi Everyone,
I have a web application that currently runs using Servlets and JSP, but i intend to change every servlet file into JSP.
What should I take note?
Please advice and comment.
Thanks in advance

Ok, I can see your logic, but I don't agree with it.
It may SEEM like you'll save time, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't in the end.
So you don't have to restart the Tomcat server so much.
That still doesn't justify writing java code into a JSP.
Whatever you gain from not restarting the server you will lose 10 times over from stupid compile errors/typos that come from writing scriptlet code in a JSP.
Java code belongs in a java class, where you can take advantage of all of the assistance of the IDE for code completion, formatting, compiling, syntax checking etc.
Also if you write your code in classes, you can test them with Junit tests - something harder to do when your logic is embedded in JSPs
Write your java code where it is meant to be. In java classes. Beans/Servlets/whatever.
A JSP is for one purpose only - to produce an HTML page.
Just my 2 cents.

Reading a properties file in a servlet and passing its contents to a JSP pa

Hi all,
I'm totally new to Servlet pgmg n JSP. Please can ne1 tell how to read a simple properties file (in a servlet) and pass its contents to a JSP page.Actually the reason is to fill a combo box in a JSP page with the contents of a properties file.If calling a servlet for the same is d best way to do that, plz can ne1 tell me :
1> whether to override the doPost method in the servlet in which to read d file using FileInputStream
2> Putting the contents in an array and then how to pass this array to the JSP page.
Thanks,
deepthy.

I'm using a properties file to let my web application know what the name of the database is. I'm using an abstract class GeneralDao which will be extended by all the DAO's (Data Access Objects or java classes containing SQL statements).
Here's the code :
protected Connection getDatabaseConnection()
          throws Melding
     Connection dbconn = null;
     ResourceBundle resBundle;
     try
     Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
     resBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("gcoConfig");
     String dbConnectie = resBundle.getString("databaseconnection");
     gcoLogger.debug("lezen databaseconnection in resourceBundle " );
     dbconn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbConnectie);
     } catch (InstantiationException exc)The ResourceBundle is used to read the properties file, named gcoConfig.properties.
With the getString() command I read the content of the string named databaseconnection.
The gcoConfig.properties file is placed inside the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\gco\WEB-INF\classes
The GeneralDao is placed in the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\gco\WEB-INF\classes\org\gertcuppens\cluifDao.
So this class is placed some folder below the WEB-INF\classes folder of gcoConfig.properties.
And the content of the properties file is just one line :
databaseconnection=jdbc:mysql://localhost/cluif
If you want to let the JSP know what's inside the properties file, wrap the content in a Javabean, put it in the request or even the session and pass the control to the JSP.
