IPhone Official Web App Directory?

Has anyone heard about this? Any word on which apps will be included?
Apple to launch official iPhone Web applications directory
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/10/appleto_launch_official_iphone_web_applicationsdirectory.html

I still think appleopolis.com has a better set up, when I can put my favorites on a screen to select from. But its another positive step for Apple and the iPhone, Keep it up guys...your getting there!!!

IPhone Web App Directory

Does anyone know if there is a version of the Apple iPhone web app directory formatted for the iPhone? Every time I go to load the page it displays full.

Why not use your desktop or laptop computer to create collection of bookmarks for the iPhone.
In Safari the top left collection on my bookmarks bar is called iPhone. Those bookmarks synch automatically with the iPhone.

Web app directory structure

Is there some standard directory structure when building J2EE web application that consists for example JSP pages, servlets, EJB components, pictures etc.

place all your jsps in "jsp" folder under the project folder.
Create a folder called "WEB-INF" under the project folder which contains all your servlets, and web.xml and taglib.tld files. Your servlets that is .class files should be in a folder "classes" under "WEB-INF".
The .html files and picture files are under the project folder.
I hope it will help you some how.
But, the directory structure depends upon the Framework you are using such as Struts, Spring or Axis.

Is iPhone email app or GMail web app better for gmail?

i'm a new iPhone user. i'm have a gmail account which i use almost exclusively through a web browser (i haven't synced it with Mail.app on my MacBook). setting up the iPhone i've used the default email app on the iPhone to check gmail (via POP). it seems to have started at the very first email i ever received 2 years ago and be downloading them in 50-message-at-a-time chunks. independently, i checked it via safari and used the iPhone Gmail web app (hoping that's the right term) which seems to have a fair amount of additional options (labels etc.).
has anyone got any guidance as to which is a better option?

I've used both but tend to stick with the Mail app so I can access both my mail accounts together. It's really up to you as to which you like better. You should change your GMail to IMAP instead of POP though... much better email handling and you'll never lose any emails.

Apple Web apps versus 3rd party Web apps

There would appear to be some confusion regarding the use of Web apps on the iPhone; specifically, whether the iPhone warranty is voided if a Web app not currently offered on the Apple site at: http://www.apple.com/webapps/, is used on the iPhone. The issue came to light when a poster suggested using the iPhone Pixel Fix Web app (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home), intended to resolve issues with stuck or dead pixels on the screen.
My understanding is that the use of any Web app that is not Apple approved automatically voids the iPhone warranty, no matter how innocuous it may seem or be. However, it may be that some users consider 3rd party Web apps, such as iPhone Pixel Fix, to be "allowed", as they run on locked/legal iPhones, and are not downloaded onto the phone.
As usual, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. May I have your thoughts, advice etc.?
Cheers.

jia10,
Web apps were available even before Apple posted the web apps directory. The information about each web app in the web apps directory is supplied by the submitter which is usually the author. Being included in the web apps directory does not indicate endorsement, recommendation, etc on the part of Apple, it is a directory of available web apps.
No web app should be able to void your warranty, regardless of the site it is posted to, unless it were to exploit a known or unknown security hole. For example, there was a web app that would exploit a security hole to "jailbreak" the iPhone. That was fixed in a previous update to the iPhone.
The Pixel fix web app cycles the colors on the iPhone screen several times using Javascript. It does not install anything on the screen. Essentially it tries to do the opposite of screen burn in. Whether or not it will work, I do not know.
However, using a web-based application that does not overwrite system files or modify the file system, does not void your warranty.
Installing third-party native applications or files that require you to crack the iPhone file system could potentially cause damage to the iPhone's firmware, and would void your warranty.
Hope this helps,

Java Web App for EP5 SP5

Hi
Recently I developed a Java web app for a Portal client. The client is on EP5 SP5 with ITS and LDAP servers (a 3 server architecture). I then used the deployment tool to create the necessary ear file and then successfully deployed it to the SAP J2EE Engine. I then navigated to the following url:
http://<portal_server>:8100/<web_app>/welcome.jsp
However I am having trouble with the following:
1) the jsp pages are not being rendered properly. in fact welcome.jsp does not have any jsp tags at all but I am still getting a compiling exception. as soon as I change the extension to .html the page is displayed fine. issue: why am i not able to view the jsp pages. error: com.inqmy.services.servlets_jsp.jsp.CompilingException ID 17013
2) the web app I have developed utilises the sapjco functionality to connect to the relevant R3 system. in my web app directory structure I have included the necessary sapjco.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory but get the attached jco error. (I shouldnt need to set the classpath since the sapjaco.jar file must get picked up from WEB-INF/lib directory). Error: At times I get a NoClassDefFoundError stopping at the line which requires the sapjco.jar file (where it uses JCo.Pool class) and at other times I get the "could not load middleware layer".
I have tried numerous things to fix it but in vain. Any thoughts around how I could go about resolving the issues will be greatly appreciated.
Willing to provide screenshots if required.

Hi Alon
Thanks a lot for the info!!
I have read the doco you asked me to have a look at and it sounds reasonable. But the question that I have is that is it possible to successfully include the relevant jar's in the application's WEB-INF\lib folder?? I ask this since I would expect the SAP j2ee class loader to look at the required jar's in the WEB-INF\lib folder?!? (Also the section on "Adding a Reference from a Deployed Application to a Service or Library" talks about an app that may want to use resources from OUTSIDE the application EAR.)
So if I use any jar's such as sapjco, xerces, activation and mail I will need to add them to the library.txt if they are not already there (which they should be since the portal uses them) and then add the reference in reference.txt.
Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Ravi
I used the SAP J2EE Engine Deploy Tool to create the war and ear archives as well as deploy the ear archive. As I used this tool I included the required jar files inclusing the sapjco.jar inside WEB-INF\lib of the web archive (WAR). I tested this in a tomcat environment before deploying it to the portal environment.
1) The screendump is as below:

I would have expected EP5 to be able to find the appropriate jar files. Especially since it has its own library of jar files to work with. I was reading some J2EE Engine doco and came across two files library.txt and reference.txt. Do I need to maintain these files as I deploy my application?
Your thoughts will be appreciated.

Where to put persistent (writeable) files in web apps?

I want to persist a small amount of data from a web-app, saving when the app is stopped and reloading when started.
This will be done from a ContextListener, and I plan simply to serialise a small table when the context is destroyed.
The question is, where should I put the file? Obviously I could simply specify an absolute directory, probably via an environmental entry (so as to specify it in the server, since it would be dependant on server configuration). I'd far rather have something more automatic.
I suppose I could put it somewhere under WEB-INF, but that doesn't seem right, the web-app directory should be read-only.
Servlet engines typically have a writable working directory where they keep compiled JSPs and persisted sessions, but is there a standard way of getting to it?

Well, now I'm not so sure anymore. But I have some
checkboxes I want to share among different
applications. So why can you share classes and jar
files and can not share JSP's?Sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Disk space is cheap. I'd deploy them with each app.
The only thing that would make me hesitate is the DRY principle. In that case, I might have "common" JSPs in my version control. I'd have the Ant script from each Web app check out the same "common" JSPs and build them into WARs. That would keep those JSPs common and not violate DRY. JMO - MOD

Right way to use Web Apps on iPhone?

I'm not sure I'm doing right way using Web Apps on my iPhone.
Mostly I find the necessary Web Apps. on my Mac.
And type the url address on iPhone.
Then, if there is "view Web Apps" icon under the description of the Web apps, click to go and add it to home screen.
Or if there is no "view Web Apps" icon, just click the url of the Web App name.
Is this right way to add Web Apps I like?
Thanks for help!

When I find a web app I like in Safari I size the screen to what I want my homescreen icon to look like and click the + button. This adds a weblink icon to my homescreen making it easier to access than opening up safari and looking for a bookmarked page.

TS3999 I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

How do I install web apps to my iphone?

I read on the apple web app support page that you can now download more apps into your home page. However, the vague instructions either do not work or the instructions were posted prematurely and I have something else to do first.
I a, told, in a nutshell, to go to the web app page on my phone then view the app and click on the plus sign and it will prompt me to add a button to my home page.
Uh Uh, that just does not happen. There is a bookmark prompt but no "add to home page on iphone".
When I go to my "about" settings my system version is 1.1.2. When checked, it tells me I have the latest version but is there not a 1.1.3 out there? How do I get it?

True (as did I). Some have noticed that have USB 1.1 that prior syncs with iTunes 7.5 (or lower) seemed to have a lot of issues with freezeups. With 7.6 it is claimed that it works great with USB 1.1 now. So to just play it safe (especially if you have USB 1.1) upgrading iTunes to 7.6 really cannot hurt you. Plus it is iTunes 7.6 that allows manually mananging files with your iPhone with 1.1.3 on it...so you should want 7.6 anyhow. Not to mention if you want to be able to work with the new Retals feature of iTunes, you will need the update.

Mapping of Web App context root and the physical directory of the web app

I'm running Weblogic 7.0 on Windows2000.The physical directory of my web application
is D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp and under these directory I have
my JSPS, static HTML and WEB-INF. I define the context path of this web app in
the weblogic.xml ;-
<weblogic-web-app>
<context-root>/testapp</context-root>
</weblogic-web-app>
As a result of deploying this web app in the server (or it may be created manually
also), the following entry gets inserted in the server's config.xml ,-
<Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
</Application>
Now, whenever I make a request of the form "http://localhost:7001/testapp/..",
it's properly executing my web app. My question is, how does the container knows
that for any request for the web app with context path as 'testapp', it has to
server files from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp. In the above
process, nowhere such mapping is specified. I expected something like Tomcat's
server.xml, where in docbase we clearly specify this mapping between the context
path and the physical directory. Please help.

Let me give some more details and hopefully this will make things clearer.
Say you deploy /foo/bar/myweb.war and in myweb.war you configure a
context-root of /rob
During deployment, the server creates an ApplicationMBean with a path of
/foo/bar/. It then creates a WebAppComponent with a uri of myweb.war.
Next, deployment calls back on the web container and tells it to deploy
the WebAppComponent. The web container reads the myweb.war, parses
descriptors etc. The web container then updates its data structures to
register that myweb.war has a context path of /rob. (It has to figure
out all the other servlet mappings as well.)
When a request for /rob/foo comes in, the web container consults its
data structures to determine which webapp and servlet receives the
request. This is not a linear search of all webapps and servlets.
There's much better ways to do pattern matching.
Hope this clears things up. Let me know if you still have questions.

Thanks for the answer. Still one thing is not clear. Whatever context path I declare
for my web app as the value of <context-root> element in the weblogic.xml (in
my example it's "/testapp"), it is no where mapped with the "URI" attribute (or
any other attribute, sub-element whatsoever in the <Application> element).
Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
</Application>
So when a request of the form http://myweblogic.com:7001/testapp/... arrives at
the server, how does the server knows that it has to serve this request with files
from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp ? It should not be like the
web container iterates thru all the web application entries in config.xml and
tries to match with one context-root declaration. I repeat, I expected some mapping
similar to Tomcat's server.xml, where in the <docbase> element u clearly specify
the mapping between the context path and the physical directory

It's a little clearer in the case where you had a full-fledged EAR.
Then you'r application path would map to the "root" of the EAR, and the

Web Apps for iPhone Testing Anyone?

Howdy,
I got my post removed because it was was regarded "advertisement". My company developed an iPhone Chat service and have noticed that Apple does not have any developer forums. Perhaps one of yous can direct us in the right direction. We would like iPhone users to test our iPhone web app, but do not want to "advertise" any further.
Thanks,

No vector images in web-app for iPhone !?

Hello
I am developping a web-app for the iPhone
as the bandwith is low (in edge mode) I want to use vector images instead of bitmaps (gif, png ...)
- but flash (.swf) is not supported
- SVG is not supported, only Canvas is supported
- but no "Canvas editor" is available (I don’t want to draw icones using hundreds of javascript lines ! )
- and no "SVG,SWF -> Canvas" convertor is available
Am I wrong ?
Is there any solution ?
Is 1.1.3 now solving the problem (SVG now supported ?)
thank you for your help
Michel

additional remark:
I made some tests, a vectorized icon could be 30 times smaller (and therefore faster to load) than its ".png" version !
15ko in edge mode = about 1 second to wait ...

ClassNotFoundException for Class in directory of Web App

If I understand things correctly, the line "RegistrationTestServlet threw exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: data.DBAccess" means that the class data.DBAccess is not found in the classpath. However, that class is in the data package within the source folder of the my web application in the Netbeans IDE - and I presume the IDE adds the packages to the class path as appropriate during testing. I've never had any trouble like this with other classes in packages within the source directory for other web apps I've developed.
So I'm not sure if this is something I should post on a Netbeans or Tomcat forum or here because I'm not exactly sure what is going on. Any guidance would be appreciated. Here is the full error message from the Tomcat console:

Thank you. Your response prompted me to check the "build" directory of the Netbeans project and there I found the problem...
About 4 months ago when I first create the "data" package I named it "Data." Then I realized Java naming conventions say package names should be lower case so I tried to rename it (and the correct way by refactoring or whatever netbeans calls it) but when I tried to rename "Data" to "data" netbeans kept saying "package already exists." So I deleted the Data package and created a new package "data."
It seemed to work and in the Netbeans folder structure it says "data."
Well, come to find out in the build directory that package is still called "Data." My guess is when I run the project the build directory only changes what's new, and it looks at Data and data as the same thing. However, the JVM must look at Data and data as different - hence my code is calling "data.DBAccess" and the JVM can't find it.
