Html to browser in servlets

When JSP's are compiled as servlets, does the servlet send HTML to the browser during the html generation or does it send after the complete html is generated?
Thanks
AJ

When JSP's are compiled as servlets, HTML isn't generated. The JSPC compiler
          first generates the Java code for the servlet and then calls the javac
          compiler to compile the generated java code. The resulting servlet's service
          method then executes as a result of being called by the web container. The
          servlet's service method is then free to stream any HTML it generates (by
          whatever means) back to the browser using the response output stream.
          HTML 'generation' is not part of the JSP code gen and compilation process.
          Execution of the servlet's service method is where HTML will be sent to the
          browser as part of the response, if the servlet chooses to do that.

Inexplicable delays in browser-to-servlet-to-browser communication

We are seeing some inexplicable "pauses" in the round-trip from
browser-to-servlet-to-browser communication. The browser and Weblogic
instance are on different machines, so correlating absolute times has
been difficult. So at this point it's hard to tell whether the browser
request is not being received immediately by the servlet, or the servlet
response is not being received immediately by the browser... or perhaps
it is, but maybe the response stream isn't "closing" properly, causing
the browser to think there's still more to come.
If the browser request is not being received immediately by the servlet,
it could be because the execute thread count is so low that the request
is being blocked until a thread is availble to service it. But our
thread count is set to 30 and this is with just a single user hitting
the servlet.
If the servlet response is not being received immediately by the
browser, or is not being closed properly, what could cause that?
Occassionally, I have been able to account for some of the "delay"
time. Our servlet does the usual stuff: writes out to the response
writer and then closes the writer:
PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
writer.write( htmlString );
writer.close();
I have seen the writer.close() method taking a long time - over 5
seconds on one occassion! What could it be doing?
Could some type of TCP_NO_DELAY network setting account for all of
this? Any and all help/experiences are appreciated.

If you are using 5.1 and you have ELF turned on (see docs).
You can specify "time" as an ELF header and this gives you the time of
processing and the write.

In article <[email protected]>, [email protected] says...
Here are a few top of the head suggestions:
1. You can log the time when the request is received by the servlet and
when the output stream is closed. That should give you a fair idea of
what percentage of delay happens on the servlet side.
2. Try flush() to send stuff to the browser after every few lines of
write(). It helps.
3. IE does wait for the whole HTML to come in before it displays unlike
Netscape which shows the streaming data. So switch browser and check.
4. Make sure you are not using the SingleThread model even though that
does not explain the delay encountered by a single user.
If these do not help, you would need to give more insight into the code.

Changing the HTML Target From a Servlet

Is there any way to change the HTML TARGET when sending an HTML page from a servlet to a HttpServletResponse object?

Of course it's the HttpServletResponse object, I'm sorry about that.
The best resource for figuring out all the HTTP headers is reading the HTTP 1.1 Specification. This is available at:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/
Look for the RFC 2616 link(s).
However, some browsers have their own extensions to the HTTP 1.1 Spec. If you want to learn more about these, the best place to look is the browser's website.
Finally, I'm sure there are some websites out on the web that exist soley to education us on HTTP headers. Find them at www.google.com searching for "HTTP headers".
Good luck!

Gettting values from HTML elements in a servlet

Hello
I have some Java and embedded HTML code in a servlet which is asking the user to enter a value as below:
out.println("<form name=\"generategraph\" action=\"/monolith2/graphingoutput\" method = \"get\">");
out.println("<h3>Pick slope for graph type</h3>" +
"<input type = \"text\" name = \"slope\" size = \"3\" value = \"1\" align = \"right\>");
out.println("<input type = \"submit\" value = \"Generate graph\"></form>\n");
However, I cannot access the contents of the element slope which I need to validate. I have tried:
String str = request.getParameter("slope");
But without success; I simply get null.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks
Martin O'Shea.

RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing when generated

RoboHelp HTML v9
New project - eg not converted from previous version
Added a browse sequence as per the help documentation - I've followed the help documentation however when I get to view result of the generated WebHelp - the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages that were added to the browse sequence.
I read previous forum postings for RH8 - where reinstalling or repairing the software seemed to assist - however when I access through control panel - add/remove programs the only option in to Remove RH9.
So I thought I'd ask the question here before uninstalling.
There was also mention of a dll file that needs to be registered on the viewers pc before the browse sequence would appear and if this is the case due to the possible audience for the publish I would not be able to control that.
Any help is appriciated, thanks.

Hi
Thanks - I guess I was looking for the page icons that visualized the
sequence for the viewer.
That being said - the navigation arrows are present in my published file
however seem to hold no functionality - while on a topic that is within
the browse sequence clicking the arrows does not move through the
sequence.
I was initially looking for onscreen navigation for a series of topics -
I though browse sequence would do the trick but I think I will move to
another method.

Subject:        RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing

Hi there
Your mention of: "the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages
that were added to the browse sequence" seems to imply that you are
expecting to see the sequence directly on those pages. But that usually
won't happen.
Perhaps it will help to start by viewing the link below:

Then come back with any questions you may have.

Error Message= x Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system.

Help! I cannot seem to find the solution for the error message I get when trying to generate a layout in Microsoft HTMl Help (Primary Layout). I am using the trial version, but it didn't seem to be an issue for anyone else in my class that was also using the trial version.
The error message states, "Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system."
Thank you!

Sounds like a problem with the installation of RoboHelp on those machines. When you install RoboHelp, it installs the necessary files to view a CHM.

Trying to assemble a HTML page using 3 servlets.

I am trying to assemble a HTML page using 3 servlets.
1 servlet for generating a standard header for the page, 1 for generating a standard footer for the page and 1 for generating the content for the page.
I know how to generate a page with only one servlet, but how do you do it with 3 servlets, with each generating part of the page.

Use the include method of the RequestDispatcher to include the output of the header and footer servlets.

How can I generate a html page in a servlet-applet connection?

Hello, I have an applet which contains an ok button, when I click this button, I need that servlet generate an html page and view it in browser. How can I do this?
Thanks

But with this method only is possible I think open a page web, and if it is possible call url of the servlet, you generate other request and response object (other call to method doGet or doPost because ShowDocument needs parameter url), so the previously request when I click button ok it's no the same and how I obtain the prinwriter from first request, showDocument don't obtain html page from printwriter.

Html link to a servlet

Hello,
I am new to Java Servlet programming and I need some help with calling a servlet via a HTML link.
I have a class which generates a html page:
package HccMembers;
public class HccMemberServlet
public StringBuffer buffer;
public HccMemberServlet(String sHccId, String sHcId)
buffer = new StringBuffer(4096);
this.buffer.append("<HTML>\n ");
this.buffer.append("<HEAD>\n ");
this.buffer.append("<TITLE>Members</TITLE>\n");
this.buffer.append("</HEAD> \n");
this.buffer.append("<BODY> \n");
this.buffer.append("<p><ahref='http://localhost:8080/transport/HccMembers/servlet/JCSJobOrderServlet'>New Job Order</a></p>");
this.buffer.append("</BODY></HTML>");
Basically, when the user clicks the link a servlet should be invoked. (Below)
package HccMembers;
//import java Servlet classes
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
//import java classes
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class JCSJobOrderServlet extends HttpServlet
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
System.out.println("hello");
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
System.out.println("Hey");
The problem is that, when I click the link I get a 404 page not found error. Any ideas?
I really appreciate any help.

You need to add couples of lines to the configuration file of your application (web.xml) : first you must say that the class CSJobOrderServlet is a servlet that you want to use, second you must map the servlet to a specific url, then you can use this url whenever you like.
As an advice, don't use absolute URLs on your application, use only URLs relative to your application root.
Example for web.xml:
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name> MyFirstServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>JCSJobOrderServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MyFirstServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/custom_url</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>Now, about the servlet implementation: if you are using System.out.println("Hey") you will see the message on the standard output of the server, and not on the browser as you expected.
here is a small example:
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response)
      throws IOException, ServletException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
        writer.println("<html>");
        writer.println("<head><title>Hello response</title></head>");
        writer.println("<body>Hello !</body></html>");
   }For more information see the documentation for servlets and / or a book.

JDeveloper doesn't load browser for servlets

I have JDeveloper 3.1.1.2 and am trying to
use it to run servlets under Win98. The
problem is that when it runs a servlet, it
doesn't load my web browser, IE 5.0. The
IDE recognizes the servlets for what they
are and lets me register them with the
Web Objects wizard. Why doesn't it load
my browser?
When i run a servlet inside of JDeveloper
it writes the following to WebAppRunner.html:
JDeveloper JSP Server - Exception Occurred

Buttons in HTML Forms attached to servlets

Hi,
This seems like it should be a simple thing to me, but I haven't done enough html (or maybe it's enough servlets) to know what to do here.
I have a section of my webpage that is entirely servlet-based. On one page (created by a servlet), I have a form. I'd like to put two buttons on the bottom of this form and be able to distinguish which one was pushed. The form sends to another servlet and I am getting other data out of the form in that servlet. (Text fields, which is text input type, that show up in the requestParameters). I tried the following:
out.println( "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Button1\" name=\"button1\">" );
out.println( "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Button2\" name=\"button2\">" );in the servlet that the form connects to, I tried the following:
String buttonOne = request.getParameter( "button1" );
String buttonTwo = request.getParamter( "button2" );
if(buttonOne != null)
System.out.println( buttonOne );
if(buttonTwo != null)
System.out.println( buttonTwo );
}But when I do this, nothing prints to the screen, so obviously it isn't right.
Anyways, if anyone could tell me a way I could tell which button was clicked, that's all I want!!!
Thanks for any help you might give!!

But when I do this, nothing prints to the screen, so obviously it isn't right.And don't expect System.out.println() in a servlet to print to any "screen". It certainly won't appear in the browser in response to your request; it should appear in one of your servlet container's log files. If it doesn't, then use the servlet log() method instead. Or just generate HTML containing your debugging output and send that back as the response.
