How to execute web applications without deploying them?

How can I execute web applications without deploying them (without mentioning them in the server.xml)?
I have an IWS 6.1 SP1 installed with default parameters (JES). I would like that a posix user could execute his own web application without administrator collaboration.
Does it exist some sort of "autodeploy" like in tomcat?
(I know about the invoker mapping in default-web.xml, just I don't realy understand what does it eventuate. I tried to unzip webapps-simple.war in the directory $IWS_SERVER_HOME/webapps/$instance_name/servlet/tmp/
but the http://a.a.tg/servlet/tmp request failed:
javax.servlet.ServletException: WEB2784: Wrapper cannot find servlet class tmp or a class it depends on
----- Root Cause -----
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tmp
How can I solve this? Users should have write permission to the directories in the classpath to put their servlet.class files into? Bad idea...
(I tried to "execute" the $IWS_SERVER_HOME/plugins/java/samples/webapps/simple/webapps-simple.war)
(Sorry for my language skills)

Do as many of the rest of us do, until this behavior is changed (if ever). Eport your WEb gallery to your Hd and use an FTP client, there are so many, including Drreamweaver's, and Shareware ones, and upload just the relevant files/folders. Some can even check and do this for you.

How to update web galleries without replacing them?

When I export a web gallery that already exists (i.e. when I've added some new photos and want to update), it just gives me the option to replace it. How can one continually update one's website via LR without completely replacing it each time?

How to get web application to use Tuscany without conflicting with SAP SDO

Hi,
We are attempting to run a web application on SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 SP1 which uses Tuscany SDO. As it now stands We must use Tuscany because the web application will not run with the SAP SDO implementation provided by Netweaver. To ensure that Tuscany is loaded with priority, we have packaged the Tuscany JAR files and their dependencies as a heavy resource, as described here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60642a88-95fe-2b10-d387-a245d48fc257?overridelayout=true
The final check showed that Tuscany was correctly deployed as a heavy resource and included the following JAR files:
common-2.2.3.jar
ecore-2.2.3.jar
ecore-change-2.2.3.jar
ecore-xmi-2.2.3.jar
tuscany-sdo-impl-1.1.1.jar
tuscany-sdo-lib-1.1.1.jar
tuscany-sdo-tools-1.1.1.jar
xsd-2.2.3.jar
We also verified that the web application using Tuscany has a hard reference to the Tuscany heavy resource.
However, when we try to run the web application, the following error is logged: java.lang.LinkageError: Class commonj/sdo/DataGraph violates loader constraints
The issue is definitely due to some kind of classloading conflict with the SAP SDO library, as the application runs normally when SAP SDO is manually removed from the classpath. Doing this on a production system is unfortunately not an option, though.
So the question is: how to get web application to use Tuscany without conflicting with SAP SDO?

I took a look at the "printerReady" example. Looks like I may be able to use the InetPing (...) function to ping through a range of IP addresses looking for a response.
Any ideas on how to find the MAC address associated with the IP addresses that respond?
We may have multiple units responding and the MAC address will allow the operator to determing which unit to connect to.
I'll try the InetPing to see how it works,

How a J2EE web application access CR reports stored on the CR Server XI?

Hi,
I'll be working on some crystal report templates that will eventually be hosted/publish on the CR Server XI.
My questions are:
1. How my J2EE web application access those reports?
2. Do my web application uses some CR API for the connectivity and integration?
3. What will happen to the database connectivity of the report template? since the report are created locally.
4. Can the report template be edited/updated on the server?
5. How the CR XI login functionality be involve in the integration (web application ---> CR Server XI)?
6. Is the J2EE web application be deployed on similar web/application server where the CR Server XI resides?
7. What is the role of RAS, Universe, Business View Manager to this whole CR integration?
I hope you can provide some guidance on this journey to Crystal Report world

1) Your application connects via the Java SDK using the appropriate JAR files.
2) It can. You can set the database information at runtime or use the already populated information from Enterprise.
3) Same as 2. Typically when you save the report to Enterprise you set up the database information there so that it runs against the database you want without prompting. You can change this via code to hit whatever equivalent database you want.
4) Yes. You would have to use RAS and the RCAPI to accomplish this via code. You can also make changes in the designer and overwrite the existing report template.
5) You will log in via code. The information on how to do so is in the SDK documentation, which I will link.
6) It can be deployed to the same machine as CR Server, though we recommend against that. Typically you will want to deploy it to a seperate web server and allow it to connect to the CR Server across the network.
7) RAS can be used to run reports, as well as the page server. The universe and business view manager are not directly used in code. If a report runs against a universe or business view then it will use them for data, but you wouldnt do anything with them directly.

Please help me to undeploy web applications without starting weblogic.

My colleague deployed his web application to my weblogic domain. However, the domain cannot be started after deployment. How to undeploy that application without starting the weblogic?
I use weblogic 10.3.3. His application uses servlet and jsp and tests that application in weblogic 10.3.2

Delete the application from the deploy directory. The domains/base_domain/autodeploy is the directory for auto deployed applications, which get deployed when server is started. Or, the domain's InstallDir directory.

Could any one help how to open the application without port number in servl

Could any one help how to open the application without port number in servlets or jsp?

Well, configure the application server/web container to listen to the default http port of 80, rather than 8080.
I couldnt get where to specify 80 instead of 8080 so that it opens without numbers

How does PeopleSoft ( web application) connect to DB ?

Hi,
How does PeopleSoft ( web application) connect to its Oracle database, does it use JDBC or OCI or else ?
Thank you.

The webserver is connecting to the application server through the Jolt port, and the application server is connecting to the database within a database client installation (runtime).

How build stand alone application without labview

how build stand alone application without labview?
thank and regard

I assume that the poster means to run this on a computer without the development environment installed. That is what the app builder is for. Review Altenbach's post. This being said, there will need to be a runtime engine installed on the target PC. You can 'bundle' that with your build application and install it together, although I usually prefer Not to do that, and make that a seperate step because it is rather large, and if the target already has it, then it is wasted space. Speaking of run time engine, I have seen negative reactions to it by my customers, but after sitting down and explaining that, with few exceptions, every application requires a run time engine. It is just that some are bundled with windows, or installed through windows update. Once explained, it usually quiets the opposition. [Paul steps off soap box now]

Hi Jun Wu,
Because without deploying, it doesn't allow me check how my java webdynpro application works!!

How to access images in my localmachine without deploying them

Hi
I am trying to access images in my localmachine from an ADF Application (11.1.2.4). If the source of the images is an url address it works fine. However, if they are in my local machine I don't know how to make it work. I don't want to deploy them with the application. I want them to be referenced like:
file:///C:/images/bla/bla.jpg
I might be failing is something really silly. Apologies in advance.
Regards

You can only address images inside your web root directly. The application can't just reference your file system.
You can archive this using a servlet which you call via an url with parameters (e.g. the filename) and send the image from there (where you have access to the file system).

Xcelsius docs are in swf format. You could probably just host them without security and view with flash.

Authentication in clustered web application without sticky session

I have built JSP/Servlet/Struts application in the past on a cluster of app servers. Each app server has its own JVM running the Servlel Container. All of the HTTP requests come into a hardware load balancer, which directs the requests to one of the app servers in the cluster.
I have wanted to use the Java HttpSession management without any kind of distributed session provided by the app server. We have used "sticky" sessions. The application writes a cookie to the client on the first request. The load balancer looks for that cookie on subsequent requests and directs the request to the server that originally wrote the cookie. This ensures that all requests within the same session are handled by the same application server. This also means that if I do request.getSession().setAttribute("authenticated",true) on one request, when I do request.getSession().getAttribute(authenticated) on subsequent requests in the same session, I can be sure the value will not be null. This allows me to create a filter that checks for that session attribute on each request, and if it is false or null, redirect the request to some sort of login page. Otherwise I can be sure the user has logged in.
I want to build a stateless/non-session based application that can still handle authentication. What I mean by that is that I don't want the load balancer to have to send requests for the same session all to the same server. I would like the load balancer to send each request where ever it wants. That means the simple authentication example I explained in the last paragraph would not work. The user could login on server A, but then on a subsequent request during the same "session", the user's request could be handled by server B. In that case, the session attribute would be null, and the app would think that the user has not logged in.
My application can require that users have cookies enabled, so therefore I can assume the user is accepting cookies (I would have something to check that and redirect the user to an error page saying "turn cookies on" if cookies weren't on). I think one thing that I could do is use encrpytion with a key that is shared between all the servers in the cluster. For example, user logins in on server A, server A writes a cookie with the contents "username,1109272102009". The first part being the username that the user successfully authenticated as and the second part being a timestamp for when the cookie was created. The contents of the actual cookie would be encrypted and I would send the ciphertext as the value of the cookie. When server B gets the cookie, it can decrypt the ciphertext (using the same key as was used to encrypt the data on server A), and check that the username is valid and that the timestamp does not exceed some timeout. The timestamp in the cookie would then have to be updated for the next request.
So my question is (thanks for sticking with me and reading this really long post), has anyone done anything like this before? Is what I have described totally ridiculous or insecure? Are there any books or articles that describe a pattern similar to this that has been know to work well?

I have worked on a web site that did exactly that.
The cookie contained a little bit more information - there was a small amount of user data that were needed on heavily accessed pages.
You'll have a problem if your web application uses attributes. We solved this by keeping most stuff in hidden inputs (backed up by hidden input cryptographic checksums in places where forgery was a concern.) HttpSession attributes have some problems and gotchas.
A few possible fine tunings:
Add a random number to the cookie. Should make known plaintext attacks harder.
Add some extra stuff to the cookie, so that any random hex string that happens to decode to "xZoiyqw,15" isn't accepted. It's easy to try a million cookies until you get "<something>,<integer>" but getting "<something>,<integer>,HelloHowAreYou" is a lot harder.
Be paranoid in checking the format of the cookie. If you add a random number, check that it is all digits etc. Belt and suspenders: also check that the time stamp isn't in the future (allow e.g. 15 seconds future time, in case different servers' clocks are a bit off.)
Don't update the cookie at every hit, only if the time stamp is older than a couple of minutes. Saves encryption CPU power.
After encrypting, prepend a short version number to the cookie. E.g. if the hex cookie is ABCDEF, make it 1ABCDEF. If you later e.g. change the encryption algorithm, change version to 2 and you can easily skip any obviously non-decipherable cookies. A second version number within the cookie might or might not be useful.
Even though you can make random load balancing, consider not doing that. E.g. a server might pull the user's name from the database into memory cache. You get less database traffic and smaller caches if the user still goes to the same server. If a server goes down, only then switch him elsewhere. Downside though: if one server is "half alive" (doesn't respond to requests but alive enough so the load balancer doesn't notice the malfunction), all users bound to that server see a 100% failure.
Benchmark cookie decryption time when selecting the crypto algorithm. How many hits per second you can get and how many you need.
Guard your crypto keys like the crown jewels. Change them periodically and whenever someone in your company (especially IT department) gets the pink slip.

Server Hangs when I tried to Access web Application that deployed in Managed Server

          Hai All!
          Here is my problem ! I started Admin Server and Managed server in a same machine.
          I deployed HttpClusterServlet in web.xml of Managed server. When i started servers
          they start fine and says Clustering started.... But when i tried to Access index.jsp
          that is in Managed Server default web application ..Nothing happens. It neither
          throws exception nor shows the desired page.. Seems to be Browser hang and server
          hang. At this stage i am unable to access Admin console also.(I can access before
          i tried index.jsp of managed server).. It seems to be Hang Allover..
          Pls suggest me how to come out of this hanging...
          Rgds
          Manohar


See my answer to your last post. The short answer is that the HttpClusterServlet is
          likely to be the problem and not the cluster. You can try one of the web server plugins
          or a hardware load balancer as a temporary workaround. You should file a case with
          support too...
