Instantiate a bean from within a Servlet

I am attempting to instantiate a bean from within a Servlet. Basically, I would like to set my bean properties from within a central controlling servlet, then call a worker class to take care of my database insert. The worker class would get its values from the bean.
Does this sound reasonable? I'm sure this is quite possible and very easy to pull off, however I can't seem to find a single example. An example would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have read what you have done.
Now in the servlet add something like
HttpSession ses=request.getSession(true);</stro
ses.addAttribute("user","your Bean name");*
in the JSP get this atribute by
session.getAttribute("user");+
Anyway, how have you configured your server? I am using a Bean Class and trying to instantiate in a sevlet. An exception is occuring.
import mypack.User; //it is nicely imported*
//in the doPOST() method
User user=new User();+ //trying to instantiate
it is giving an Exception. Kindly help.

Obtain parent directory of WEB-INF from within a servlet

hi to everyone!
i have got a directory containing a WEB-INF directory (with web.xml and all the other stuff necessary). Hoy is it possible to obtain the parent directory of WEB-INF directory FROM WITHIN A SERVLET, put in lib directory?
let's say:
A----WEB-INF---classes
---lib----MyServlet.jar
---tlds
---dtds
How can I get A from within MyServlet.jar? Please help. Thank's a lot...

Opening an https connection from within a Servlet.

I am having problems trying to establish an HTTPS connection to a servlet from within a different servlet.
I get the java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: https. SSL is setup for the web server. Direct connections from the browser to a servlet work fine with SSL, but a connection from one servlet to another servlet fails. I'm stumped. Is there a separate SSL install/configuration required for the servlet engine? Could anyone explain?

When you set up SSL enabled web server, you should be getting a trust cert file that knows the hand shake protocol to talk to that server. Once you have that file, you can load that file from that servlet using System.load and then you would be able to talk to anything that runs on that SSL enabled Web server.
Also you must have JSSE jar files installed in your system .
Check out this url:

Let me know if you still have problems

How to use the same bean from Jsp and Servlet

I want to use the same bean instance from both the servlet and jsp.
for eg. if a create a bean using the jsp:useBean in servlet and if a modify some values, that values should be reflected while i access the same bean from the servlet. But instead of that the servlet is creating a new instance of the bean.
is it possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When you call jsp:useBean you inform a scope (session, request, page...)
This means the bean instance will be stored in that scope.
So, if the informed scope is session, then, in the servlet you could get the bean instance back from the session, this way:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
Bean b = (Bean) session.getAttribute("bean_id");

Can I use SimpleFdkCredential() from within a servlet?

I have a test program that logs in to content DB using SimpleFdkCredential, and works perfectly well run from the main() method of a Java class from within JDeveloper. When I try to login the same way from within the doGet() method of a servlet, doGet() hangs on the call to ManagersFactory.login() using the same SimpleFdkCredential that works in-process. The login() call doesn't throw any exceptions, it just sits there waiting[I presume], and never returns.
Is it necessary to use S2SFdkCredential for any authentication that originates from a servlet invocation? It seems that SimpleFdkCredential should work in this instance as well.
Thanks.

Can you check the Content DB http node log (application.log) with debug log level set, to see if the request from the servlet for the RemoteLoginManager Web Service was received?
I would also check that all libraries are present/accessible from servlet - and that there are no conflicts with existing libraries.
Also, check the servlet log for anything strange.
Finally, you could try remote debugging of your servlet .. e.g -Xdebug java option.

URLConnection returns NULL when called from within a weblogic servlet

The following code snippet works when executed outside of weblogic, but does
not work from within a weblogic servlet instance.
URL u = new URL("http://" + ipString + newString.toString());
URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
String response = "", response2 = "";
while(response2 != null)
     response = ((response2 = in.readLine()) == null) ? response : response + response2;
The response is quite big. When this code is executed from within a weblogic servlet instance,
in.readLine always returns a null right away. Yet a TCP/IP trace shows that the packets are coming
back to my NT machine.
Other info:
Inside of weblogic:
u's handler is of type weblogic.net.http.Hanlder
uc is of type weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection
Outside of weblogic:
u's handler is of type sun.net.www.protocol.http.Handler
uc is of type sun.new.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection
Weblogic V4.51. Running on NT.
Attempted the following to no avail:
1. installing sp11
2. changing the security to permission java.security.AllPermission;
3. adding the following calls : uc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
          uc.setDoInput(true);
          uc.setDoOutput(true);
4. Started playing around with modifying the java.protocol.handler.pkgs system property,
but I shouldn't have to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are some problems with the WL implementations of certain protocols.
WL hides the Sun implementations when you are in the WebLogic server. Here
is an a solution that was posted to a similar problem:
Https is an add-in so to speak. Try this before you create your url:
System.setProperty ("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
// add the default security provider (again, in JSSE1.0.1)
int iap = java.security.Security.addProvider(new
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider() );
dennisNote how the code overides the WL setting which overode the Sun setting.

Access network path from within servlet

I'm trying to copy some files from a network path from within a servlet. I realize that I cannot use drive letter mappings as they are profile specific. Instead I'm trying to use the unc path. I'm getting the following error when I read the error inputstream from the process:
String cmd = "XCOPY \\SERVER\SHARE\File.DAT C:\FOLDER /Y"
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
p.waitFor(); //execute process and wait for it to finish
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader error = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream());0 File(s) copied
Invalid drive specification
Exit code: 4
It works from the command line, the problem I'm guessing is that Tomcat runs at as service under the SYSTEM account. What permissions should I put on the shared folder to allow this, or is it a path problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Starting the Tomcat service under the Administrator account fixes the problem, is there any reason I shouldn't use the Administrator account for this?

Reading files from within helper classes

From within a servlet, I can get the servlet context to get a path to the "web" directory of my project and easily access properties files for my project. If I create another package in my project to hold helper classes that perform some specific function and want to create and/or read from a properties file, I get a path to the bin directory of my servlet container:
Servlet Path: D:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\Josh\Projects\ServletSandBox\build\web\
Helper Class File Path: D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\bin\test
I'd like to develop my helper packages as reusable APIs, so they're not tied directly to my project or to a servlet in general, but I'd like the properties files to stay somewhere in my project folder, preferably in the WEB-INF directory with the servlet's own specific properties file.
I can't figure out the best way to handle this. I wanted to just be able to pass the helper class a String if somebody wanted to specify a filename other than the default filename. Does it make sense to specify a file URL instead? Is there any other way to get the calling servlet's context path without having to pass in a variable?
Thanks

It seems that the helper API shouldn't need to be given a path to its own config file. I would like to have code that will load the file regardless of whether or not its in a stand alone java app or a servlet. Whenever the helper API is jarred up and imported into my servlet, it can't find the config file unless it's in the "D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\bin\test" directory. OR, if I use the current thread to get the loader, it will locate it in the "classes" folder, which is the only solution I can come up with that will let me write code to load the file that will work, regardless of its implementation.
The "project" folder I'm talking about is just the NetBeans "project" folder for the servlet, or the "ServetSandBox" folder in my example. I guess that doesn't really matter in the context of the servlet though.
So is using the current thread the appropriate way to do this? When you say that code will work if I put the resource in the WEB-INF directory, that seems to only be true if I try to load it from the servlet itself, not the helper class. The helper class doesn't find the resource in the WEB-INF directory.
Also, I would like to be able to write the default values to a new config file if one doesn't exist. How in the heck do I get a pointer to the "classes" folder, or any other folder that I can also read from using the classloader, so I can write to a new file?

How to get the JNDI name of an EJB from within itself

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to get the JNDI name of a session bean from
within itself.
In the application I'm working on we need to support multiple
customers. In order to do that, each EJB has a normal home and remote
interface, a base class bean implementation and different children
bean implemetations for each customer (when the logic for the
customers is different). JNDI is used to get the proper implementation
based on the customer.
I've got an EJB that provides some services that are the same for all
customers, except for the fact that it contains one variable that
should have a different value depending on the customer. I don't want
to creat subclasses just for that. What I want is to be able to get
the JNDI name and set the variable based on the it.
Is there a way to get the JNDI name for the EJB from within itself?
TIA
MJ

Open client socket from within a Web Service

Hello,
I need to open a client TCP/IP socket from within a Web Service-type WebLogic
Workshop app. When I try to read from the socket, the socket read operation hangs.
When I use the same code in a J2SE Java app on the same machine using Eclipse
everything works fine. It also works fine from within WebLogic, if I use a "URL"
object instead of a "Socket" object. (However, I cannot use this type of connection.)
Can anyone tell me how to work with raw TCP/IP sockets in this situation?

Hi Udi,
I have tested my code from within a Servlet and it works fine.
The Servlet and the Web Service both call the same simple JAVA class. This class wants to access a DB, and therefor, I am using the Data Source.
When the Servlet calls the class, everything works fine. But when I use the Web Service to call this class, I get the Exception "No attributes are implemented".
I hope this information helps you understanding my problem?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Nadine

Retrieving Session bean object in a Servlet from FacesContext Object

Hi,
I added code in a servlet to retrieve Session bean object from the Faces Context object. I don't know what the problem was, but when I am accessing the application from two different machines and I am trying to retrieve the value from the session object in the servelet it is giving the value what I set into the session bean on one machine browser into another machine browser. Just I want to know the code which I had included in the servlet is correct or not.
This is the code I am using in my servelt:
1) To get the Faces context object
protected FacesContext getFacesContext(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
     FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     if (facesContext == null) {
          //System.out.println("Current context was null...creating one now");
          FacesContextFactory contextFactory =
               (FacesContextFactory)FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.FACES_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
          LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory =
               (LifecycleFactory)FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
          Lifecycle lifecycle = lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE);
          facesContext =
               contextFactory.getFacesContext(request.getSession().getServletContext(), request, response, lifecycle);
          //Set using our inner class
          InnerFacesContext.setFacesContextAsCurrentInstance(facesContext);
          //set a new viewRoot, otherwise context.getViewRoot returns null
          UIViewRoot view = facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, "ContextName");
          facesContext.setViewRoot(view);
     return facesContext;
2) Code to get the session bean:
Utils utilsBean = (Utils) getFacesContext(request, response).getApplication().getVariableResolver().resolveVariable (getFacesContext(request, response), "utils");

Problem calling servlet from within a jsp

I have a servlet which obtains images for a page

I use the servlet from within a jsp
<img src="servlet/ImageServlet?PhotoId=<%=rs.getObject("ID")%>" border="0">
for some reason it does not work, the images are never called. I have another servlet which is called the same way and it works fine

Thank you all for your time

this is my servlet code. Like I said it works fine in another servlet
rs.next();
byte[] bytearray = new byte[rs.getInt(1)];
int size=0;
InputStream sImage;
sImage = rs.getBinaryStream(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
while((size=sImage.read(bytearray))!= -1 )
response.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,size);
response.flushBuffer();
sImage.close();

Information from within a Bean? Auto Increment

I am currently using 9iAS as my app server and Oracle as my db for a project. In order to get the next PK in a CMP bean I have created the code snippet below. What I was wondering is it possible to get the Initial Context Factory, the Security Principal, the Security Credential, the Provider Url, and the Data Source Name from within the CMP Bean, so I wouldn't have to pass them in or hard code? Maybe through the handle perhaps?
public static long getNextPK(String initialContextFactory, String securityPrincipal, String _securityCredential,
String providerUrl, String dataSourceName, String _sequenceName) throws Exception
long l = 0l;
Statement st = null;
Connection con = null;
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
try
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, _initialContextFactory);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, _securityPrincipal);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, _securityCredential);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, _providerUrl);
Context context = new InitialContext(env);
DataSource ds = (DataSource)context.lookup(_dataSourceName);
con = ds.getConnection();
String query = "SELECT " + _sequenceName + ".NEXTVAL FROM dual";
st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
if(rs.next())
l = rs.getInt(1);
if(!rs.wasNull())
//System.out.println("getNextPK() returned "+ l);
rs.close();
catch(NamingException ne)
//ne.printStackTrace();
log.error("Naming Exception: ", ne );
catch(SQLException se)
log.error("SQLException: ", se );
throw new Exception(se.getMessage());
finally
try
if(st != null)
st.close();
if(con != null)
con.close();
catch(SQLException sqe)
//sqe.printStackTrace();
log.error("SQLException: ", sqe );
return l;
}

For Oracle 9ias the documentation says:
Defining an Auto-Generated Primary Key
If you specify a java.lang.Object as the primary key class type in <prim-key-class>, but do not specify the primary key name in <primkey-field>, then the primary key is auto-generated by the container.
For eg.
<enterprise-beans>
<entity>
<display-name>Employee</display-name>
<ejb-name>EmployeeBean</ejb-name>
<local-home>employee.EmployeeLocalHome</local-home>
<local>employee.EmployeeLocal</local>
<ejb-class>employee.EmployeeBean</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.lang.Object</prim-key-class>
<reentrant>False</reentrant>
<cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version>
<abstract-schema-name>Employee</abstract-schema-name>
<cmp-field><field-name>empNo</field-name></cmp-field>
<cmp-field><field-name>empName</field-name></cmp-field>
<cmp-field><field-name>salary</field-name></cmp-field>
</entity>
</enterprise-beans>
Once defined, the container creates a column called autoid in the entity bean table for the primary key of type LONG. The container uses random numbers for the primary key values.
WHAT I DONT LIKE or probably not aware of is the disconnect between the oracle DB generated sequence and the container using random numbers to generated prim keys. If 9ias can auto generate a random number then I feel it should also allow us to specify what sequence from the DB if any, we would like to use... thats my 2cents worth
