How do I pass an object to a Servlet?

Hello,
I have a fully initailized object called x.
I need to invoke a servlet from an application and pass this object x to the
servlet.
This object contains all the necessary parameters which the servlet needs.
How can I invoke a servlet from a class and pass this object?
For Example:
class SendObjToServlet
try
URL u = new URL("servlet_path");
}catch(Exception e)
Now how and where do I pass an object to this servlet??
Please can any one respond?

How can I pass an object to a function by value?

Hi
I have a function with an argument. this argument is an object. I don't want to alter this object. But java passes this object by reference and some fields in this object are altered after function return.
How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?
thanks for any help

How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?How you approach it is likely to depend on how much control you have over the code in question. If it's legacy code and has been badly designed, there's probably very little you can do to protect existing code short of a complete refactoring.
What you could do as an interim measure is:
1. Create an immutable wrapper to your existing mutable class.
2. Create new methods that replicate the existing ones, but take the immutable class instead.
3. Deprecate the old methods.
This won't break client code, but they will now get warnings when they compile and you can add documentation to point them to the new class/methods.
If you are in control of the code (especially if you're still in the design stages), you've got several options:
1. As Dr.Clap says, make your class immutable (probably best).
2. If this isn't possible, create mutable and immutable variants of your class. This is often best achieved by hanging them both from an interface.

How do u pass an object into a method

I want to create a method getData that takes an object of type Helper and returns an object of the same type.
how do u pass objects into a method and how do u get objects as returns im a bit confused

That will just allow you to pass a parameter. If you want to return a helper object
Helper paramHelper = new Helper();
Helper someHelper = callMethod(paramHelper);
public Helper callMethod(Helper hobj) {
    //<some code>
    Helper retHelper = new Helper();
    //<blah, blah>
    return retHelper;

How can I call COM object in a servlet?

Hi,
Does oracle provide a bridge to call COM objects in a servlet? Is there any sample for doing this?
Thanks,
Archie

Archi,
Take a look at the following link:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/ids/daily/jul12.html
You can use J-Integra, one of JDeveloper's Extensions, in your Servlet to call any MS COM objects.

How can I pass an object to an inner method?

Hi all,
I'm stuck with a tiny problem here, hope someone can help out:
I receive an UndoableEditEvent object in my method and I then want to apply that object to a JTextArea, my understanding is that I need to add a listener to the JTextArea.. but it won't see my UndoableEditEvent object.
      public static void edit( UndoableEditEvent e ) {
            final UndoManager undo = new UndoManager();
            Document doc = text_in.getDocument();
            doc.addUndoableEditListener(new UndoableEditListener() {
            public void undoableEditHappened(UndoableEditEvent e) {
                System.out.println(e.getEdit());
                 undo.addEdit(e.getEdit());
Any ideas?

Well, that looks like the right code for adding a listener to your JTextArea... except for the bit where the code is inside a static method that has an UndoableEditEvent as a parameter. Just get rid of that, and put the inside code immediately after the line of code where you create your JTextArea. You will probably have to make your UndoManager an instance variable of your class, too.

How To Use A .dll Object in Java Servlet/JSP

I need the Solution, Is there any API's Available to do so.
Ofcourse The .dll is a Microsoft Visual Basic Product.

You need to use JNI to wrap C/C++ function provided by the .dll library. and then call it from JNI implementation class.

Well you can use a [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html]String
Or you can take a [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html]Double

How to pass class object as in parameter in call to pl/sql procedure ?

I want to pass a cursor to a procedure as IN parameter.You can use the PL/SQL type called sys_refcursor - and open a ref cursor and pass that to the procedure as input parameter.
Note that the SQL projection of the cursor is unknown at compilation time - and thus cannot be checked. As this checking only happens at run-time, you may get errors attempting to fetch columns from the ref cursor that does not exist in its projection.
You also need to ask yourself whether this approach is a logical and robust one - it usually is not. The typical cursor processing template in PL/SQL looks as follows:
begin
open cursorVariable;
loop
    fetch cursorVariable bulk collect into bufferVariable limit MAX_ROWS_FETCH;
    for i in 1..bufferVariable.Count
    loop
      MyProcedure( buffer(i) );   --// <-- Pass a row structure to your procedure and not a cursor
    end loop;
    ..etc..
    exit when cursorVariable%not_found;
end loop;
close cursorVariable;

How to pass JSON object for a PUT operation of restful

Hi,
I am trying to proxy restful call through an OSB proxy and I would like to know how I can pass json object via OSB proxy to an external rest service for a PUT operation? I am using Oracle 11g.
I have created a business service, that point to the external rest service and created a proxy service that route to the business service. I thought it automatically takes the JSON, which is the data need to be send to the rest service, but didn't work, I get 405 error in the osb access log. is that how it works, or there is something else I need to do? if so, can you please help and tell me how?
appreciate any kind of help.
thanks
Marwa.

Hi Anju,
Most of the example I see is dealing with data being pass either as query-string or html form. We are passing JSON object from the UI and rest services are configured to take JSON. therefore, in the PUT and POST data are passed either as an attachment or part of the request object. Do you know or have an example how to do it? I don't need to any kind of transformation of data because I need JSON on both end and I am trying to use the OSB proxy in between my UI and rest services to take advantage of monitoring capability of the OSB.
appreciate any help, my deadline is getting close and I kind stuck.
Thanks
M.

How could I pass object to the other object

How could I pass an object to the new initializing object, so that I can reference to the first object later?

You mean something like

How to pass a object of JSP to a servlet called from JSP

Hi,
I am trying to display an image in the JSP through html image tag. I am using Struts Action class to get the image data from the database through a Session EJB. I am getting a byte array for the image retrieved from the database.
To display the image I need to call a servlet from the JSP from the image tag like this.
<html:img src="imageservlet" border="0"/>
But I need to send the image byte [] array data which is available with the JSP to the servlet to build image. I have a bean object with the JSP which holds the image byte []. The servlet should receive the bean object and will use the byte [] and build the image to be displayed.
My query here is how to send this bean object to the servlet which is getting called from the JSP as shown above.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Passing objects to a servlet - session or as byte[]

Hi
I'm creating my first servlet and I want opinions on my design. I plan to sue my servlet to generate an image. So in my jsp page I have an image tag with the following
<img src="/Servlet/GenerateImage">But my servlet requires data in an ArrayList from my JSP page. How can I pass the ArrayList to my servlet? I've done some research and been looking aorund the forums, and I noticed people either convert the object to byte[] or pass the object using the session. I've tried doing the byte[] method but I don't know how to pass the byte[] to my servlet. I tried passing it as a parameter using a query string, get the parameter as a string, and convert it to byte[] again, but it didn't work. I can't seem to get this approach to work.
I'm worried that if I use the session, and a large number of people access my page which runs the servlet, my server will be bogged down.
What is the best approach in doing this? It'd be great if some sample code or links are supplied
Thanks for all the help!

My servlet requires data in an ArrayList from my
JSP page. How can I pass the ArrayList to my servlet?
I've done some research and been looking aorund the
forums, and I noticed people either convert the object
to byte[] or pass the object using the session. If the ArrayList is derived in the JSP and is required in the servlet, then saving it as a session attribute is the best bet. I guess it would be possible to send all the data from the ArrayList to the client in a cookie, but that seems messy and inefficient.
I'm worried that if I use the session, and a large
number of people access my page which runs the
servlet, my server will be bogged down.The session attribute only contains a reference to the ArrayList and so in itself does not cause a performance problem. If you're concerned that the ArrayList is very large, you could consider saving the info to a disk file. Alternatively, could the ArrayList be derived in the servlet instead of, or as well as, the JSP? Does the servlet need all the Arraylist entries, or just a subset? If a subset, save that as a session attribute and dereference the ArrayList in the JSP. Also, think about when the ArrayList reference can safely be removed from the session.
What is the best approach in doing this? It'd be great
if some sample code or links are suppliedJSP
<jsp:useBean id="myArrayList" class="java.util.ArrayList" scope="session"/>Servlet
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
ArrayList al = (ArrayList) session.getAttribute("myArrayList");

Pass a object from one jar to another jar file

I have a common jar file which will communicate to the server for data validation purpose.But after validation it has to invoke different different jar file based on its response from the server.So, I might have a object which has to pass from the common jar file to a specific jar file.So, I like to know what will be the best procedure to achieve it.
Please help me out.

So based on the condition any one of them (JARS) will be triggered by the common jar(JAR A).this is the situation.The class file of JAR A will trigger some method or main method of the JAR B/JAR C.So,here how could I pass a object from one jar to another is my main question.
Is it clear now?
I need a solution for this very urgently.Are you looking for a plug-in framework? That is, dynamically discovering and loading plugins. I am not experienced in developing or using plugins. However Googling "java plugin" brings up JPF.
If you just have multiple jars that have different classes, the JVM will load the appropriate classes if it can find the jars through the standard classloader on the classpath or through a customer classloader.
