Invalidating a session in Java Bean

Hi,
I need to write a logout() method in my Java Bean to invalidate
the current session upon logout.
But i keep getting error when i try to access the session.
bu using
session.invalidate();
Does anyone know how to retrieve the current session in a Java Bean??
Thanks..

Hi,
You can pass the session from the JSP to the Javabean method for invalidating it. For example, in your JSP you can have:
<%-- instantiate your bean --%>
<jsp:useBean id="bean" class="YourJavaBean" scope="page" />
<%-- call the method with the session parametere --%>
bean.logout(session);
And then in your bean, have:
public void logout(HttpSession session) {
//Any processing...
//invalidate the session
session.invalidate();
Hope that helps,
Srinivas

Help with Login Form (JSP DB Java Beans Session Tracking)

Hi, I need some help with my login form.
The design of my authetication system is as follows.
1. Login.jsp sends login details to validation.jsp.
2. Validation.jsp queries a DB against the parameters received.
3. If the query result is good, I retrieve some information (login id, name, etc.) from the DB and store it into a Java Bean.
4. The bean itself is referenced with the current session.
5. Once all that's done, validation.jsp forwards to main.jsp.
6. As a means to maintain state, I prefer to use url encoding instead of cookies for obvious reasons.I need some help from step 3 onwards please! Some code snippets will do as well!
If you think this approach is not a good practice, pls let me know and advice on better practices!
Thanks a lot!

Alright,here is an example for you.
Assume a case where you don't want to give access to any JSP View/HTML Page/Servlet/Backing Bean unless user logging system and let assume you are creating a View Object with the name.
checkout an example (Assuming the filter is being applied to a pattern * which means when a resource is been accessed by webapplication using APP_URL the filter would be called)
public doFilter(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res,FilterChain chain){
     if(req instanceof HttpServletRequest){
            HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
            HttpSession session = request.getSession();
            String username = request.getParameter("username");
            String password = request.getParameter("password");
            String method = request.getMethod();
            String auth_type = request.getAuthType();
            if(session.getAttribute("useInfoBean") != null)
                request.getRequestDispatcher("/dashBoard").forward(req,res);
            else{
                    if(username != null && password != null && method.equaIsgnoreCase("POST") && (auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("FORM_AUTH") || auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("CLIENT_CERT_AUTH")) )
                         chain.doFilter(req,res);
                    else
                      request.getRequestDispatcher("/Login.jsp").forward(req,res);
}If carefully look at the code the autherization is given only if either user is already logged in or making an attempt to login in secured way.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

Can we use an overloaded constructor of a Java Bean with Session Tracking

Hi Friends,
If any one can solve my query.... It would be helpful.
Query:
I have a Java Bean with an overloaded constructor in it. I want to use the overloaded constructor in my JSP.
1. One way of doing that is to use it directly in the "Scriptlets" (<% %>). But then I am not sure of the way to do session tracking. I think I can use the implicit objects like "session", "request" etc. but not sure of the approach or of the implementation method.
2. Another way is through the directive <jsp: useBean>. But I cannot call an overloaded constructor with <jsp: useBean>. The only alternative way is to use the directive <jsp: useBean> where I have to write getter and setter methods in the Java Bean and use the <jsp: setProperty> and <jsp: getProperty> standard actions. Then with this approach I cannot use the overloaded constructor.
Can any one suggest me the best approach to solve this problem ?
Thanks and Regards,
Gaive.

My first reaction is that you can refactor your overloaded constructor into an init(arguments...) method. Instead of overloaded constructor, you can call that init method. This is the ideal solution if possible.
As to the two choices you listed:
1. This is OK, I believe. You can use scriplet to define the bean and put it into session scope of the pageContext. I am not sure exactly what you meant by session tracking; whatever you meant, it should be doable using HttpSessionAttributeListener and/or HttpSessionBindingListener.
2. Agreed. There is no way that <jsp:useBean> can call a constructor that has non-empty arguments.
Please tell me how it works for you.

Maintaining sessions with a java bean

I am trying to debug a Web App that occasionally loses its session when one
          page is being jsp_forwarded to another. The original JSP coder uses a Java
          bean named Session to hold all the sesssion information. The usebean tag is
          used to maintain the correct instance. This session loss did not occur when
          we were still running 5.1. Now with 6.1 we have this mysterious problem. Can
          anyone make suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
          The weblogic.xml file contains the working directory and the keepgenerated
          set to true. All else is default.

Column Not found error while trying to access databse through JSP+Java Bean

I am trying to acees MS Access 2003 db through JSP using Tomcat 5.0.28.The code for accessing the databse is incorporated in the bean.The jsp only calls the particular method of the bean .
Code for Java Bean:
package ActiveViewer;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CompanyBean
Connection con;
ResultSet rs=null;
Statement st;
     public CompanyBean(){}
     public void connect()

System.out.println("An SQL Exception has occured :: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();

     e.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("An Exception has occured while retrieving :: "+e);
e.printStackTrace();
else
System.out.println("Connection to database was lost.");
return rs;
The code for JSP that uses the above bean is:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*,ActiveViewer.* " contentType="text/html"%>
<jsp:useBean id="conn" scope="session" class="ActiveViewer.CompanyBean" />
<html>

while (rs.next())
String dbusername=rs.getString("username");
     String dbpassword=rs.getString("password");
     if(dbusername.equals(username) && dbpassword.equals (password))
{ %> out.println("OK");
          <% }
else { %>Invalid Username and / or Password.
<br>Clickhere to go back to Login Page.
<% }
} %>
</body>
</html>
I get the following error:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Column not found
though the database is not int he same folder as the jsp, the DSN is set correctly to pint to the db location.The jsp does print in stdout file:
Here4 (from connect method above)
Here 1 (from connect method above)
Below Select (from jsp)
This means that the jsp does connect to db but it gives the above error.Also the field name also matches that in the database and data is present in the db too.
All other things like creating package for bean,incorporating the packakage are done.
Can someone please help me with their precious advice?

U're getting this error because there is no field called 'password' in ur database, the field in ur database is named 'cpassword' and not 'password'. So change the statement rs.getString("password"); to rs.getString("cpassword");

          You realy can do it like Xiang says, but the better way is to use packages. That's
          the way BEA is designed for. If you use packages you can but your bean classes
          in every subfolder beneath Classes. Here for example we have the subfolders test
          and beans:
          You have to declare the package on top of your Bean Source Code:
          package test.beans;
          In your JSP you don't need the import code of Xiang. You only have to refer the
          path of your bean class:
          <jsp:useBean id="testBean" scope="session" class="test.beans.TestBean" />
          There are some other AppServers that only can deploy Java Beans in packages. So
          if you use packages you are always on the right side.

WDVisibility type paramter in Java Bean(Web Dynpro DC in CE 7.1)

Hi All,
I need to set a WDVisibility type paramter in a java bean and i am able to do so.It imports com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.WDVisibility class .
The problem is when i am creating a Java Bean model it is not allowing me to select the Java bean class it gives an error message" Invalid Class : No class files found for JavaBean : com/sap/tc/webdynpro/progmodel/api/WDVisibility".
The java Bean class exists in Web Dynpro DC>src folder.
Any Pointers?
Regards
Avinash

Hi Ondrej ,
Refer the above links to convert the component of the first dc as a public part.
Then declare the methods which are written in the component controller of the first DC in the interface controller with the same signature.( When method is called automatically component controller method is called)
In second dc in component controller properties tab add the reference of the first dc.
Then access the method in second dc as
wdthis.wdget<UsedComponent name>Interface.methodname();
Thanks & Regards,
Ardhendu

The jsp code goes like this:-
<%@ page import="com.project.ShowData" %>
<jsp:useBean id="jspuser1" class="com.viman.ShowData" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="jspuser1" property="*"/>
Here the error is showing as cannot resolve symbols in com.project.ShowData.But i have given the same in java beans like this:-
Package com.project;
//import of package goes here
public class ShowData
//code goes here
It seems that all are correct here.I have done few programs using this without any problem.But suddenly it is giving a problem like this.What is the problem here?It is quite Urgent.Thank u.
Regards,
m.ananthu

Sir
Still my jsp files can't find java beans.
I set classpath properly .
my document directory = c:/raju
i put my jsp file = c:/raju/jsp/<jsp files>
and servlet files = c:/raju/servlet/<servlet class files>
actually jsp files and servlets were working successfully,
if i add my java beans inside my jsp file the it shows error.
inside my jsp file
<%@ page import ="something.myclass" %>
<jsp:useBean id="db" scope="session" class="something.myclass" />
Note: "something" is package name;
#----- this line i modified inside jvm12.conf file
jvm.classpath=C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;c:/raju/WEB-INF/classes/;
Thanks

Java Bean access in a JSP Tag handler class

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to access my java bean(ErrorBean.java) in th doEndTag() method of the tag handler class(MyTagHandler.java) and iam getting an "CLASSCAST EXCEPTION"
I am doing it like this in the tag handler class.
MyBeans.ErrorBean errorBean = (MyBeans.ErrorBean)pageContext.getSession().getAttribute("ErrorBean");
Where MyBeans is the package in which my Error Bean is and iam placing the ErrorBean object in the session object before it comes to the jsp page where i have the jsp Custom tag:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/taglib.tld" prefix="errors" %>
<errors:message/>
<%@ include file="footer.jsp"%>
I was of the opinion that i was casting it right...can anyone help me to find ...where iam doing it wrong...its really URGENT ..PLEASE

Friend that did not work either ...
u know what...the ErrorTagHandler class is comiling fine with out errors but in the jsp page when the custom tag is hit..this error is showing up when i see the server log.
can you throw some light on this..
thanks..
