How to get CATALINA_HOME in a servlet?

hello
I want to dynamically make some html files available to users, so I think I should first get the value of CATALINA_HOME, then copy these files to proper directories. How can I get this environment variable then?
Thanks for any reply!

Properties props = System.getProperties();
String cat = (String)props.get("catalina.home");

How to get javabean data in Servlets.( JavaBean -- Servlet(Controller)

how to get javabean data in Servlets.
1) I am using name ,password in Jsp(View )
2) when I submit this Bean will be called and Setter methods will be called .
3) In ServletController (controller) I want to get data of javabean.
In this I have to do validation of user.
I want to pass the javabean obj as like -->
request.getAttribute("beanObj");
My intention is to get all the poperties in javabean by passing bean id
or beanobj ,
Is there any way to get all the data using bean id or beanObj.
Plz Reply,

Now in the Servlet we can get the same bean by this code:
PageContext pageContext = JspFactoryImpl.getDefaultFactory().getPageContext(this, request, response, null, true, 8192, true);
UserBean userbean = (UserBean)pageContext.getAttribute("userbean", PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE);
String userid = userbean.getUsername();
For this code to work it is needed to import 2 files:
import org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl;
import javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext;
The JspFactoryImpl is in jasper-runtime.jar file provided in tomcat dir.It seems to me that you are exactly knowing what you are doing :-(
You can get a Bean stored in a Session by
request.getSession().getAttribute("userbean");
In the login.jsp page for example we have the code
<jsp:useBean id="userbean" scope="session"class="com.newproj.UserBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="userbean" property="*" />the jsp:setProperty is not called when you click on the submit button
if fills the bean with the request values from the previous request.

Hi,
You can use HTTPServletRequest object to get the XML payload.
BufferedReader reader = request.getReader(); //gets XML payload
String line = reader.readLine(); // to read the XML payload line by line
(request is the HTTPServletRequest object)

You can use the following code:
byte[] content = getRequestBufferAsBytes(request);
...then do whatever you want
public static byte[] getRequestBufferAsBytes(HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException, ServletException
// get the RequestBuffer
ServletInputStream oInput = request.getInputStream();
long nContentLength = request.getContentLength();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if (nContentLength <= 0)
return null;
byte[] cContent = new byte[(int)nContentLength];
// read the content in 512 bytes chunks
// a single read does not get all the characters
int nRead = 0;
int nToRead = (int)nContentLength;
int nBlkSize = 512;
byte[] cTemp = new byte[512];
do {
int n = 0;
int i = 0;
if (nToRead - nRead < 512)
nBlkSize = nToRead - nRead;
n = oInput.read( cTemp,0,nBlkSize);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
cContent[i+nRead] = cTemp[i];
nRead += i;
} while (nRead < nToRead);
//cContent[nRead] = (byte)'\0';
Long nBytesRead = new Long( nRead );
return cContent;

How to get XML value using servlet?

how to get values from a XML file using servlet ? Thank you.
for example: how can I get the location value (aaa) from this XML file?
abc.xml:

Try to use XML Parsers to do the job.
Use DOM or SAX Parsers that are freely available.
Some of the popular ones are xerces, DOM, SAX.

How to get response from a servlet which depends on cookies?

guys,
i have a servlet which behaves differently based on the presence of a cookie or not. If cookie A is present in the machine it shows the the home page and if not it shows the login page.
now i want to get the home page HTML content from a program without using the browser. i am aware this can be done by using java.net.URL but how do i simulate the cookie given that i know that's the cookie name and value it expects?
Unfortunately i cannot paste the servlet code as it is a servlet of a product and i don't have the source code for it.
Thanks
S

I believe you use URLConnection.setRequestProperty(), with the key being "Cookie".

How to get "/r/n" in servlet after decoding a escaped URL

I am creating a servlet request in Javascript and need to send "/r/n" as value for one request parameter.
So I am doing escape(myURL) in Javascript and sending it to servlet.
escape converts "/r/n" to "%0D%0A".
Now in servlet I am using URLDecoder.decode() with UTF-8 but this translates these chars to "ctrl M".
I am not sure which char encoding type I should use to get "/r/n" chars back in servlets or any other way to do this job.
Any pointers highly appericated.
TIA,Sachin

I'm also having a servlet with some funky UTF-8 characters being passed encoded, but this takes care of it in doGet/Post:
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
then,
String param = request.getParameter("PARAM");
puts everything encoded into string as strings are all Unicode as well...
hope this helps

Help: how to get text from IFRAME


<IFRAME class="mytext" width="100%" ID="mytext" height="200">
</IFRAME>
someone can tell me how i get text in my servlet from
<IFRAME>
thankx in advance...

someone can tell me how i get text in my servlet from
<IFRAME>
thankx in advance...Hmm. I think you are mixing something up here. Why would you use an IFrame for entering text? IFrame is used for including content from different HTML-pages inside your page.
If you want to have a textbox for an user to enter text into and submit it to a server, you need a form and a textarea inside that. Like this:
<form action="myServlet" method="post">
<textarea name="myArea">
</textarea>
<input type="Submit" value="Ok">
</form>Change the action in the form to reflect the mapping to your servlet.
Then you can just do a String enteredText = request.getParameter( "myArea" ); inside your servlet.
If you insist that you need to use an IFrame, I guess the only way to do it would be to write a Javascript function, that copies the contents from the IFrame to a hidden field before the page is submitted to your servlet. In your servlet you would read the value from the hidden field.

How to get correctly any non english data e.g greek data in servlet??

Please help
Thanks.

1.) Read [this excellent introduction into Unicode|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html]. The subject is more complex than you think.
2.) Verify at each point in your program that your String contains the correct value. Note that using System.out.println() might not be helpful here, since the console might not be able to display those characters.
3.) When a String contains invalid characters, then the error already happened before! Don't try to fix it after the fact, look where the original byte[]->String transition is made and make sure that it is correct.
