How to include external files in JSP

hi,
How to include external files like image or javascript in to jsp pages.
I am using MVC frame work. So i have to use request dispatcher. While calling the pages trough dispatcher the external files are missing from the output. Also am using tomcat as server,web.xml(deployment descriptor ) is also configured.
regards
sree

When you use the request dispatcher, the relative path for all your ressources becomes the relative path of your calling serlvet and not the JSP/servlet that you call. Make sure to use the full relative path such as:
/PATH_TO_YOUR_DIRECTORY/myRessource.ext
NOT
SOME_DIRECTORY/myRessource.ext

How to include HTML file in JSP using HTML elements or Javascript?

Hi,
I have around 15000 static html files one for each item which we display each upon invoking an item.The HTML file should be part of a JSP file.
Please note that the name of the HTML file is determined dynamically
Placing all the HTML files within the web application does not give us good performance so i would like to put all of them in the webserver.
I am not able to include the file in the JSP using the jsp:include attribute if i place the HTML files in the webserver ,
in order to do that i think should use either HTML element or javascript to include the HTML in the JSP.is there any alternative to <Jsp:include>
Does anyone have an idea how to include the HTML file and take advan tage of webserver?
Any ideas are appreciated

What you need to do is simply read the HTML file from the disk and dump it out to the outputstream. It really is that simple.
There's no reason you need to include all 15000 files in the actual WAR, you can place those files any place handy that is easy for the application to see (in another directory, or accessible from a file server if you have multiple front ends).
Then, just write a utiility function that takes the output stream (i.e. the 'out' JSP variable), and the file name, read the file, and write it to the stream.
If you start noticing performance issues, then you can try doing some caching, but truth is your OS should be doing that for you.
But, truth be told that's the only practical way to do it.
Another solution would be to use JavaScriipt and XMLHttpRequest (i.e "AJAX") to load the file at the client side, and simply replace a tag with the results.
That's also pretty trivial to write, any web site talking about AJAX should give you hint there.
Of course, that won't work for folks who have JavaScript turned off, or some other incompatible browser, whereas the server side solution obviously works everywhere.

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.
Rgds,

How to include .js file in jsp file?

hi,
i have a jsp file with struts tag. right now i have all the javascript code as a separate function inside the jsp file itself. i want the javascript code to be present in a .js file and i want to refer that .js file from the jsp file with struts tags.

onkeyup="return autoTab(this, 3, event);"></html:text>
the above is the html tag which will call the function "autoTab" of the .js file. please help.

You include javascript into a jsp in exactly the same way you do with html
<script src="myJavascriptFile.js"/>
It has nothing to do with the jsp per se, but rather the generated HTML page.

How to include a file in jsp!

I need dynamic inlude a jsp file by use inlude file �B

Use
<%@ include file="file.jsp" %>
which works at translation time so your file can be a jsp file or use
<jsp:include page="relative url" flush="true" />
which works at request time so the file can't contain JSP.

How to include external style sheet

Hi !!
Can any one explain how to include external style sheet.

Anil,
Simply include the css file as I demonstrated in my last post and then reference one the css classes by name in the "styleClass" attribute of the component. So, if the css file that have included in my JSP file (as demonstrated in the prev post) contains a class like:
.spicyPink {
color:#FF1CAE;
font-weight:bold;
Then I would simply reference this class in the component as folows:
<af:outputText value="Pretty In Pink" styleClass="spicyPink"/>
However, you can also add styling to a component inline and accomplish the same task:
<af:outputText value="Pretty In Pink" inlineStyle="color:#FF1CAE;
font-weight:bold;"/>
The thing to remember is that other than the use of styleClass and inlineStyle, referencing and including css in your JSP/JSPX pages is really no different that used in an HTML page.
Here is reference to help you along:

How to include .js file into validater-rules.xml

iam doing project using struts.
i have .js file for client side validation.how to include .js file into struts validate-rules.xml so that i can use those validation in my project.
without writing any class.
is there any way

copy + paste from my book...............
Enabling Client-Side Validations
In addition to providing a framework for simplifying server-side form data validations, Validator provides an easy-to-use mechanism for performing client-side validations. Each validation routine defined in the validator-rules.xml file optionally specifies JavaScript code that can be run in the browser (client side) to perform the same validations that take place on the server side. When run on the client side, the validations will not allow the form to be submitted until they have all passed.
To enable client-side validation, you have to place the HTML Tag Library's javascript tag in each JSP for which you want validation performed, as shown here:
<html:javascript formName="logonForm"/>
The javascript tag requires that you use the formName attribute to specify the name of a <form> definition from the validation.xml file, as shown here, for which you want validations performed:
<form name="logonForm">
<field property="username" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.username"/>
</field>
<field property="password" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.password"/>
</field>
</form>
All the validations that you have specified for the <form> definition to run on the server side will be run on the client side.

How to include .jar files in coldfusion code

To Integrate our cfm code with paypal jar files we do the
following steps with our local coldfusion server ,and to run and
integrate the paypal Java SDK jar files, I think we need to do the
same process on the server, can you suggest any thing to do the
following setting for my domain on the server, without setting the
class path in coldfusion administrator.
The ColdFusion application server must be configured to know
the location of the PayPal JAR
files, and your ColdFusion Markup (CFM) pages must be
configured with the absolute path to
the PayPal API certificate for the PayPal API user on whose
behalf the calls are made.
1. Install the PayPal Java SDK “Installing the
SDK”.
2. Copy a subset of the Java SDK JAR files to a location
accessible by the ColdFusion
application server. The JAR files are in SDK_root\lib and
their exact names are as
follows:
– bcmail-jdk14-128.jar
– bcprov-jdk14-128.jar
– paypal_base.jar
– paypal_stubs.jar
sax2.jar
– xerces.jar
– xpp3-1.1.3.4d_b4_min.jar
– xstream.jar-1.1.3.jar
3. With the ColdFusion Application Server Administrator, add
the absolute path of the
location you determined in Step 2 to the Java and JVM
CLASSPATH environment variable.
4. Restart the ColdFusion Application Server.
Suggest me how to include .jar files without setting
classpath.

> Suggest me how to include .jar files without setting
classpath.
Copy them to {CF_HOME}\lib, where {CF_HOME} is, for example,
C:\CFusionMX7. Restart Coldfusion.

How to include the file name as an XML field

Hi,
I'm using a file adapter for process a flat file and convert it into an XML. Does anybody knows how to include the file name into an XML field.
Ex.
I process the file named <b>XXIMN21022007.txt</b> and I need an XML like:
<MT_FILE>
<field1></field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3></field3>
<filename><b>XXIMN21022007.txt</b></filename>
</MT_FILE>
Regards
Gonzalo

Just go for dynamic configuration.
Check the sender file adapter to write the filename in the header (as explained in Michal's blog) and then read that header in some mapping.
U can use that even in simple message mappings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Your code for the filename tag would be something like:
<i>DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
return conf.get(key);</i>

How to include external .js file into .ear file using NetBean 5.5.1?

is it possible to include external .js file into .ear file using NetBean 5.5.1? if not, then where should I placed the external .js file and how to write the src="xxx" element? (that is , how to write the path of "xxx"?)
I am using JBOSS 4.2.2 GA as server
thx!!

Even this is also not possible because, the code in that package is developed by DWR and i am just adding it to my lib folder and importing the respective classes. In the same manner i need to include the *.js* file in the JSP.It took me about 3 minutes reading through the [DWR Getting Started|http://getahead.org/dwr/getstarted] page to learn that you don't have to do any of that. Perhaps you should read that page?
