Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.

Hi,
I am tryng to create a Flex Project, but got stuck with an error....
The Error is Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
Initially I download jboss-5.1.0.GA and placed it in C folder.
While creating project, I selected J2EE server, selected remote object access service and LiveCycle Data Services...
In the next step, I de-selected the use default location for local LiveCycle Data Services server.
In the root folder - C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA
for Root URL: http://localhost:8700/flex/
Context Root: /flex
when I clicl Validate Configuration.. this is the error I get Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
I can't understand what is going wrong here....any ideas....
Thanks for the Help.....
Thanks

Run the wizard, select ColdFusion as the server technology, but don't
check the option to use remote object access service. Then, open the
project properties dialog, go to the Flex Compiler page, and add a the
compiler flag: -services
"C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml" (obviously
changing the path as appropriate). This flag is what gets set by the
wizard when you opt to use Flash Remoting. -http://www.feed-squirrel.com/index.cfm?evt=viewItem&ID=77732
Above is a work-around/solution that was successful for me. Below are screen shots of how I initially configured the project, following the above solution.
In the image above, notice how I didn't tick the "Use remote object access service" checkbox.
For the image below, the 'Y:\' value is a mapped network directory to my server (IIS) webroot, which is "\\windowsserver/Inetpub/wwwroot/". Root URL is the name of my server. Fill in the fields with correct values and hit finish.
Then navigate ( Project>Properties>Flex Compiler ) to this project's 'Flex Compiler context menu.
And 'W:\' is another mapped network directory that points obviously to my Coldfusion's WEB-INF\flex.
I hope that this helps. As you may see, I'm hoping that this will help you and others that are likely to come across problem.

Weblogic Server not picking the jar files in WEB-INF/lib folder

we are facing a strange problem where Weblogic App Server is not picking the jar files present inside the WEB-INF/lib folder if we update the jar file path in the classpath of the start script then the classes get loaded properly.
Is there any specific setting which I need to do in weblogic to pick these jars ?

Class loaders associated with a Web application can be configured to locate local classes first. To enable this we have to set the <prefer-web-inf-classes> to true in the deployment override weblogic.xml, for example
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
</container-descriptor>

Class not found in web-inf/classes folder of war file within ear file

Hi all,
          I am using Weblogic 8.1 sp4. I have a war file within an ear file. I am trying to deploy the war file with a few classes within its web-inf/classes folder, however when the classes are in that folder I consistently get a class not found exception when trying to instantiate them. If I package the classes in a jar file and then put that jar file within the web-inf/lib folder of the war, the classes are also not found.
          If I put these two classes in the app-inf/classes folder of the ear file, everything works as expected and the classes are found.
          Any ideas of why this is happening. This seems to be a very simple thing that should work, but appears to not be working at all.
          thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

How to access the file in the WEB-INF Folder

hi..
i want to access a xml file, using servlet, which is placed under WEB-INF folder.
Please tell me how can i access the file.
I am using WSAD to develop the application
Thanx in advance.

I haven't tried accessing an XML file that is placed in WEB-INF folder.
Files under WEB-INF are usually protected from client/browser access, but a Servlet may be able to access it (not sure though).
What problems are you facing when you try to access an XML file in the WEB-INF folder?
If you can't access it from the WEB-INF folder , place it in any folder except the WEB-INF folder.
Also, if you want to protect the XML file then you could password protect it or deny access to it via .htaccess file, or simply return a 403 forbidden header.

Storing .jsp files in the web-inf directory

Has anyone ever heard about storing JSP files in the web-inf directory instead of the web app root directory.
Apparently it improves security.
If this is so, how is the user suppose to access the jsp file since I thought that users were not able to access what is stored in the web-inf directory.
Any thoughts
Thanks
Nat

I didn't tyr this but I think it is possible. You can do it using <servlet-mapping/> as you do with any other servlet.
For example include lines below, in web.xml of web-inf,
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ReportRouter</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/web-inf/jsp/ReportRouter.jsp</jsp-file>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ReportRouter</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myrouter</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This may work. Don't you think so?

The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file

Hi.
I have the following problem
I have downloaded MDOP2014 (en_microsoft_desktop_optimization_pack_2014_x86_x64_dvd_4130158)
I have installed the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update
And then installed MSDaRT81.exe on a Windows 8.1 (with Update) machine
I have also copied the boot.wim from the "Sources" folder from the Win8.1 ISO file.
But when I start the DaRT Recovery Image Wizard an try to point to the folder with the boot.wim file, it gives me:
"The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file"
I have tried boot.wim files from 8.1 ent, 8.1 ent with update, server 2012 R2, server 2012 R2 with update...no go
I am using boot.wim of win 7.
Any ideas????

Hi,
I found that if you point to the root directory (not the sources folder), then it finds the correct boot.wim. Specifically, I downloaded the 8.1 Enterprise evaluation ISO, then mounted the ISO (F:). When pointing to the sources folder, it gave the same error,
but when I pointed only to F:, it worked fine.
Additionally, both in the wizard and in the article 'Creating the DaRT 8.0 Recovery Image', it states:
Specify the root path of the Windows 8 <64-bit or 32-bit> install media
Hope this helps,

Serializing a JavaBean to the WEB-INF directory or subdirectories

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me on this.
I'm working with two scenarios in WSAD Enterprise Edition 5.0.0.2 for
serializing a JavaBean (called AddressBean) to the following location
in my Web application:
/WEB-INF/classes/resources/serializable
The data corresponding to the bean I'm serializing is being stored in
a file with a name that makes it unique on the file system (e.g.
jeff.ser, jill.ser). In the first scenario, I start by getting a
FileOutputStream, then an ObjectOutputStream which is then used to
write my JavaBean as needed. All of this is done in the first
scenario from a JSP located in:
myWebApp/Web Content/jsp/JSP1.jsp
That works fine and as I'd expect. However, I'm not able to do that
in the second scenario. In this scenario, I created an additional
method in the bean itself that will actually serialize an object of
its own type to the same directory structure that I showed above (i.e.
under the WEB-INF directory). That is, in my bean, I have the
following:
public void writeDataToFile(AddressBean bean, String path) {
FileOutputStream fos = null;
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(path);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(bean);
oos.close();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
In this scenario, another JSP (call it JSP2.jsp) is creating an
instance of AddressBean by using the jsp:useBean tag. The real path
for the .ser file is figured out in the JSP code (same as was done in
JSP1.jsp), and then I delegate the serialization part to the bean
itself like so:
// In JSP2.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="ab" class="examples.beans.simple.AddressBean" />
AddressBean address = (AddressBean) pageContext.getAttribute("ab");
// get the path
String path = ...
String realPath = application.getRealPath(path);
// write the object
address.writeDataToFile(ab, realPath);
What happens is that I get a FileNotFoundException while trying to
create the FileOutputStream in the writeDataToFile() method in
AddressBean at runtime. The message in the console states:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\WINNT\Profiles\myself\Personal\IBM\wsad\myworkbench\myWebApp\Web
Content\ (Access is denied)
The source file for AddressBean is located at:
myWebApp/Java Source/examples.beans.simple.AddressBean
WHAT is going on here!? I know that everything stored underneath the
WEB-INF directory is not served to clients so I'm also assuming that
whatever stored in that directory or its subdirectories is not
accessible to clients by default. The only real difference between
the two scenarios that I've described is that in the second one, the
attempt to get a FileOutputStream is being made by a resource (i.e.
AddressBean) that is outside of the "Web Content" directory structure
in WSAD. However, the "Java Source" directory, which contains the
package housing my AddressBean class, is also under myWebApp so I'm
not seeing what the problem is at the moment.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, solutions, please let me know.
I'm stumped. Thank you!
Jeff

I figured it out, and it was my mistake. The problem was in a method defined in my AddressBean class that would take a String argument and use it to help create a unique file name (i.e. one with a .ser extension to contain the serialized bean data) for purposes of serialization later.
Basically, I was using a local variable in the method unintentionally instead of the instance variable that I had defined in the bean so my path value was null at runtime--hence the FileNotFoundException.
I'm still not sure why the (Access is denied) message was appearing, but I suspect it was b/c the absolute path that I'd end up with at runtime wasn't kosher; or, not having a destination .ser file was the problem.
In any event, I fixed the mistake and could serialize a JavaBean in several ways:
1. From a JSP directly
2. By using a method defined in the JavaBean itself
3. By passing on the request, which contained the JavaBean as an attribute, to a servlet that took care of the serialization

How can I reference a dtd in the Web-Inf directory from an xml file?

Hi,
I've placed my test.xml and test.dtd files in the following
direcory (part of my web application)
weblogic\config\MyDomain\applications\sample\Web-inf
When I refer to the dtd from the xml file, as follows,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE application SYSTEM "test.dtd">
Weblogic tries to look for the dtd in the weblogic directory(the
place where I started the server from). How can I get it to read
the dtd in the Web-inf directory?
I'm using Weblogic6.0 SP1 on Windows NT 4.0
Thanks.

Two options:
1) Use SYSTEM "http://localhost:7001/sample/test.dtd"
2) Or use XML registry in WLS6.0

How to load/save a file in the WEB-INF?

how can i load and save files in the WEB-INF directory using servlet?

This doesn't save files. And in order to reuseability and maintainability, I'd rather use java.io and passing the path/filename around in File object.
You can retrieve the absolute path for "/WEB-INF" byString absoluteWebInfPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF");Then you can use that to read/write files.
File file = new File(absoluteWebInfPath, "filename.ext");
InputStream input = FileUtil.read(file);
FileUtil.write(file, input);and so on.

How can I forward to a jsp under the WEB-INF directory?

I have a webapp with a jsp that forwards to a jsp called /WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp When I try to forward to it, I get the error:
"trying to GET /mywebapp/WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp, deny-existence reports: denying existence of /web/webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp"
How can I forward to this page?
Thanks,

Craig - I'm trying to do something very similar - build a waiting page into the
flow. I've got a support case open (to get the BEA recommended approach) but so
far have had no luck. Let me know if you've found the answer - or are still struggling.

than introduce another mouse click:

Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated...

How to display an image located in the WEB-INF directory?

Basically, When a user registers, they a directory is created with their username that holds images that they can upload. How do I display those images. All I am holding in the database is the location of the images.
ive tried
<img src="/WEB-INF/users/testuser/picture.jpg" />
but this doesnt work and for obvious security reasons shouldnt.. but is there another way of doing what i want to do? perhaps a custom tag? thanks
Jazz

You would have to write a generic servlet that would return an image
<img src="/getImage?user=testuser&pic=picture.jpg" />Your servlet would basically fetch the file from under web-inf, and then stream it back to the user.
Methods to use:
servletContext.getRealPath() (to help find the file on disk), relative to your web app
getOutputStream (as opposed to getWriter)
It is only in this way that you can access files on the server outside of the public web directories.
Hope this helps
