Help with servlet and JSP

I am creating a web application that allows users to submit questions and answers to a database. The users can also specify a number of questions and take a randomly generated test from the questions that have been submitted to the database. Currently, I am having trouble figuring out how to generate the test and then grade it. I was thinking I would use a question page that displayed a random question and its answers, allowed the user to answer the question and submit it, and then have the page reload with a new random question from the database. After the user has answered the number of questions they specified, then it would go to a results page with the percent and grade. I'm having trouble figuring out a servlet for the test generation. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Please provide more information on exactly what the problem you are having is.
For example: The following sentence you provide doesn't really say what the problem is:
" I'm having trouble figuring out a servlet for the test generation."

Creating FOrums with Servlet and JSP

Hi everyone,
Is there a good resource that explains how to build a forum using servlets and JSP technology?
Regards,
Basil Mahdi

please let me know here if you find any useful resources...I am in the process of writing my own searchable threaded forum for my company with JSP's/servlets. It's a very slow process at the moment though...if I ever finish it, I'll gladly share it.

AppMod pooling with Servlets and JSPs

Issue:
I have a servlet that I need to do some work on a BC4J View Object (myVO), like set the where clause, execute, etc. I want to perform these actions in the servlet, and then forward on to a .jsp page (mypage.jsp). Then I want to use the BC4J Data Tag library to present the data. Normally, the AppMod tag would be used to get ahold of an AppMod, but in my case, I want to use the specific AppMod that I prepared inside the servlet that forwarded to mypage.jsp.
I have looked through the BC4J Data Tag library and it appears that the data tags are getting the AppMod from the page context. I looked at the AppMod tag and I couldn't see exactly where it was sticking the AppMod into the page context, but when I looked at the DataSource tag, it was retrieving the AppMod from the page context. Therefore, I am assuming the AppMod tag is sticking it into the page context.
What I would like to be able to do is perform some work on the AppMod in my servlet, then forward to a .jsp. Once in the .jsp, I would like to reference the AppMod without having to use the AppMod tag, but reference the AppMod directly from the DataSource tag. This would allow me to completely manage the AppMod interaction in my servlet, thus centralizing that logic and avoiding multiple check-ins/check-outs of the AppMod. I could also avoid using stateful management of the AppMod.
Any insights would be much appreciated!
Thx,
Eric

Core Servlets is pretty good. I have both parts.
One day I'm actually going to read them.you mean these two right?

I should buy the Vol 1 first right?

Need help with Tomcat and JSP

Hi
I'm a complete beginner with JSP, I have experience with Java, Dreamweaver and HTML, but I'm having alot difficulty understanding JSP.
I tried doing out some of the tutorial examples but they don't seem to come out right on the browser.
For Example the Code for Date
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
// This is a scriptlet. Notice that the "date"
// variable we declare here is available in the
// embedded expression later on.
System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" );
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
%>
Hello! The time is now <%= date %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Comes out as
<% // This is a scriptlet. Notice that the "date" // variable we declare here is available in the // embedded expression later on. System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" ); java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date(); %> Hello! The time is now <%= date %>
I know this probably really sounds like a stupid question but what could be the problem?

Those it have to saved on the desktop, or in the Tomcat webapps folder or what?It has to be in a web application under tomcat. The easiest one to get up and running with basic jsp is the webapps/ROOT directory which is where the main index page is.
[url http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/]This one is a good basic guide to installing/getting it running.
Also the tomcat documentation itself is reasonable good. Of specific relevance to you would be [url http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/index.html]Application developers guide which explains the basic layout/structure of a web application.

Help with Servlet and Unix Commands

Hello,
I want to write a Java Servlet that runs some Unix commands on the system..
Any guidelines? A really small and simple java servlet example that runs "ls -la" for example and outputs the results would be great...
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks in advance

You'll want to use Runtime.exec() to run Unix commands.
Why can't you just get this out of java.io.File.listFiles()? What's ls really doing for you here?
If you insist on using Runtime.exec(), you'll want to read this:

Please help with servlet and database!!

Hello,
i first created a servlet that generated an html page and printed out the parameters of a user's username when they logged in. example, "Welcome user" and it worked fine...
i inserted a database into my site that validates the username and password, and ever since i did that in dreamweaver, when a user logs in sucessfully, it returns the servlet page like its supposed to, only that it says "Welcome null" instead of "Welcome John." pretty strange, huh!? can anyone please help? thanks!

Check whether the username textfield name has changed or not. Also print the code over here so that we can check the code.

Help with Servlets!!

Hi all,
I need help with Java and Jsp. Here are the specs:
1. An HTML web form that contains info about a customer: name, address, telephone number.
2. When the "Submit" button is clicked, the information will go directly into an Oracle database table named "customer".
Where should I start?? So far, I have created the HTML web form. So what i need is to write a servlet that will take the data from the web form and insert that into the Oracle table. If you have any solutions to my problem, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.

<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Customer
</title>
</head>
<body>
<%!
java.sql.Connection con;
java.sql.PreparedStatement pstmt;
java.sql.ResultSet rs;
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet request;
String name,address;
int phone;
int i;
%>
<%
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:odbc:<DSN name>","scott","tiger");
%>
<% } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } %>
<%
name = request.getParameter("name");
address = request.getParameter("address");
phone = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("phone"));
pstmt=con.prepareStatement("insert into <table name> values(?,?,?)");
pstmt.setString(1,name);
pstmt.setString(2,address);
pstmt.setInt(3,phone);
i=pstmt.executeUpdate();
%>
</body>
</html>
1. create a dsn connecting oracle, using ODBC from control panel
2. name the text fields in the html page as "name","address","phone"
3. enter the table name you created in oracle in place of <table name>
I hope this should work , let me know .......

InterMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs and Netscape

I am using the interMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs to upload and retrieve multimedia data. I have found that it is much more performant in Internet Explorer (5.5) than in Netscape Communicator (4.7). In fact, I cannot upload images larger than 10K at all using netscape. However, the same image can be uploaded into the same application using IE. Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We have successfully uploaded multimedia data in the giga-byte range (Quicktime and AVI files) at the same speed with both the Netscape (4.7n) and MS IE (4.n and 5.n) browsers. One thing we have noticed is that its very important to set the manual proxy settings correctly if you have an environment with a proxy server. If you don't, then uploads can go via the proxy server and, for some reason, that seems to take considerably longer. For example, suppose you are in the www.xyzco.com domain and are connecting to a host named webserver.www.xyzco.com, then specify webserver and webserver.www.xyzco.com (to cover both cases) in the "Do not use proxy servers for..." box in the manual proxy server configuration screen. Also, if you're using a tool such as JDeveloper that uses the host IP address in the debugger environment, then you also need to add the numeric-based (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) IP address to this list.
Hope this helps.
In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected] Thank you!

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.

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.

support
JSPs. I don't know if this release is out yet.
I wish Oracle would get with the times and put out a product that
is consistent with the technology they are touting as the

Having us download Suns server to run servlets and JSP is
