J2EE Servlets and Cookies

I'm having trouble with session management (Apache 2 + WAS keep killing my sessions, likely due to my lack of understanding of how to configure the latter). I don't have time to resolve this.
What I'm going to do instead is use the old standby, cookies, to manage sessions. The problem is, I don't know how to do that either. Could someone point me to a good online tutorial on the subject? I've used a few google searches without any luck (course ads only).
Lest I sound like a complete incompetent, I should mention that I am skilled with J2SE (been using it since before it was called that) and have a basic understanding of J2EE.
thanks,
Andrew

Whereas I haven't used cookies myself, I believe the mechanism is pretty streight forward...
Here is the API for J2EE: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/
There are three places you will need to look.
1) The javax.servlet.http.Cookie class.
If you want to create a cookie, you will have to make an instance of this class, then use the appropriate set methods. When reading an already stored cookie, use the get methods...
2) The javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest interface provides the means of retrieving cookies from the user's machine via the Cookie[] getCookies() method.
3) The javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse interface provides the means of adding a cookie to the user's machine via the void addCookie(Cookie c) method.

ATM model with Servlet and Cookies(class assignent)

i am struggling starting a class assignment. I am suppose to use and access database, a servlet and cookies. If i understand correctly the servlet will have the buttons and GUI? What would i use the cookies for? or how would i use cookies in such an application? Please help.
ty,
max

A servlet will typically generate HTML content. The generated HTML will contain tags which will be rendered into buttons and the like. Cookies are used for persisting state about a particular web browser across several sessions. For example, if a user enters their name in your system you could set a cookie (which would be stored on the client's machine). Then, when they return to the site you can re-access the cookie which was originally set.
Good luck,

Abap Servlet vs J2EE Servlet and more...

Hi,
in short time we would like to start to use in production the new features of MI25 SP16 (pilot programme) like:
_ Abap Servlet instead of J2EE Servlet
_ MDI Setup Packages (Parameter Set, Device Configuration,
_ NWA
Someone already experimented these features ?
I would like to share impressions and experiences on them.
I'm not able to find any WEBLOG on these arguments.
Regards

Hi Mauro Barone ,
<<<
Not all the parameters are available iin NWA to create the Parameter Set. The parameters for the Repetitive Sync are missing for example.
A workaround is necessary.
>>>
These are the different tables for storing the Configuration Parameters.
MEMGMT_PARAMETER - Parameters for the Configuration Service
MEMGMT_PARA_COND - Possible Parameter Values for a Parameter
MEMGMT_SERVICE - Device Management - Agent Description
Values from these tables are displayed in the search help during the creation of Device Configuration.(DEVICE_CONFIG).
As a workaround.what u have to do here is...
1) just create an entry in the MEMGMT_PARAMETER like this..
 PARAMETER ID ZREPSYNC 
 AGENT ID MI_CONFIG
2) create an entry corresponding to the parameter ID mentioned above like this..
PARAMETER ID ZREPSYNCE
PARAMETER VALUE MobileEngine.Sync.RepetitiveSyncEnabled
SET PARAMETER X
GET PARAMETER
TEXT parameter for rep sync
u have to create PARAMETER IDS for these values also
MobileEngine.Sync.TimeBetweenRepetitiveSyncs
MobileEngine.Sync.MaximumNumberOfRepetitiveSyncs
refer the details of repetitive sync.

<<1) The Abap sync reached a good stability ? In your experience with Abap Sync did you encounter problems like timeout or dumps related to memory parameters ? I would like to prevent them.
>>
Obviously this can perform better than the J2EE Sync Servlet mechanisam as the communication is direcly happens without any interfaces like JCO.
( In the case of Synchronization, most of the time is utilizing for the XML conversion of data .The data from the MI server is passed to the MI client in particular format. Before sending this data to the MI client , that has to be converted into particular format .)
<<Regarding MIAUTH SyncBo>>
This is used for authorising the user during synchronization.
In each synchronization , using this SyncBo , the user credentials are fetched and compared against the users current installed applications. This will happen in each sychronizarion.
In a fresh MI server , we cannot see this SyncBO in the SyncBO builder.
After fresh installation , u have to explicitly import one request using merep_mig (Migration tool) transaction.
How to do it is explained in this forum..

How to upload a file into server using j2ee jsp and servlet with bean?

How to upload a file into server using j2ee jsp and servlet with bean? Please give me the reference or url about how to do that. If related to struts is more suitable.
Anyone help me please!

u don't need j2ee and struts to do file uploading. An example is as such
in JSP. u use the <input> file tag like
<input type="file"....>You need a bean to capture the file contents like
class FileUploadObj {
 private FormFile srcFile;
 private byte[] fileContent;
 // all the getter and setter methods
}Then in the servlet, you process the file for uploading
 * The following loads the uploaded binary data into a byte Array.
 FileUploadObj form = new FileUploadObj();
 byte[] byteArr = null;
 if (form.signFile != null) {
 int filesize = form.srcFile.getFileSize();
 byteArr = new byte[filesize];
 ByteArrayInputStream bytein = new ByteArrayInputStream (form.srcFile.getFileData());
 bytein.read(byteArr);
 bytein.close();
 form.setFileContent(byteArr);
 // Write file content using Writer class into the destination file in the server.

Latest J2EE SDK and Servlets

Hi,
I downloaded the latest J2EE SDK and I wish to use it in Eclipse IDE.
Trying to compile a servlets (a my own one) a javax.servlet cannot be resolved to a type error occurs (shouldn't this package be part of the Sun AS provided within the SDK?).
Searching for it in the J2EE SDK installation directory I didn't found it.
Where it is? How I can compile servlets?
Thank you.
PS: Please, don't reply me that I didn't need the J2EE SDK to compile and run servlets because I know it.
I wish to use J2EE technologies and servlets together.

That makes perfect sense and is quite normal.
Jar files are each individually treated as a directory containing a classpath entry, and will each have to be specified separately.
What you're expecting is similar to having every subdirectory containing within it the root of a class tree being recognised automatically by supplying a single higher level directory on the classpath.
Something like
classroots
|--project1
|           |--classes
|                    |--com
|-project2
              |-classes
                       |-comJust supplying "classroots" on your classpath will NOT cause project1/classes and project2/classes to be picked up as classpath entries (or shouldn't, there might be broken JVMs out there).

Servlet and j2ee

Hi all,
I am using the standard j2ee server and running the example of bookstore1 given in the j2ee tutorial. I have successfully deployed the application which is basically a bunch of servlets. When I try to access the page in the browser by giving the machine address and port number, I get http error "the requested resource not found" with http status 404. Similarly in the j2ee server error output, I get the following message
ERROR reading java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@9b774e
At Line 111 /web-app/error-page/
Can anybody please tell me where I am going wrong. I have deployed following the steps as given in the tutorial.
Thanks,
deepak

The problem may be u have given the wrong path for the .ear file. Also check u'r database is running and the tables are created. In my case, the table was not created in the database, but the j2ee server never threw exception and never displayed the error page. After the tables were created, the application is workin fine.
cheers,
deepak
The solution to this query is posted as being use the
"Update and Deploy" option.
However when I choose "Update and Deploy" all I get is
a message stating that my .ear file is up to date.
Would appreciate if any other solutions are about as I
would like to resolve this error also.
cheers

Servlets and OC4J

Hi!
I need help. I'm working with OC4J 9.0.2.0.0a behind Apache. In my application a have to obtain data of DataBase and show it in a fdf. To do that i have done a class that obtains the data and a servlet that show it in a fdf using classes of Adobe. The Adobe jar's name is jFdfTk. The servlet runs ok at port 7777, but when i change to port 80 the fdf doesn't show data. I can't understand why.
Does anyone have the same problem??
Can anyone help me??
Does anyone know why??
Thanks!

I see now that I can use the old method of JNDI
lookup with the 3rd party messaging from a web
container, I just can't use the java:comp/resource/MQSeries logical JNDI location.
document: oracle 9ias Container for J2EE,
Services Guide
Release 2(9.0.3)
Aug 2002
Part No A97690-01
Chapter 9 Page 9-2
I am having trouble with this statement;
The ResourceProvider interface enables you to plug in
third-party message
providers for JMS connections. For Oracle JMS, this
allows EJBs, servlets, and OC4J
clients to access many different queue
implementations.
(OK good so far,)
With third-party message
providers, only EJBS can access queue
implementations. The resources are available
under java:comp/resource/ as the default JMS
resources.
WHAT? I can't do asynchronous messaging from a web
App to a MDB with a 3rd party JMS implementation?
What gives?
Can someone tell me this is not true please

J2SE to J2EE, beginning and need help

I am a J2SE developer and I need to learn J2EE. I am trying to figure out how to compile .java files that I write that use J2EE such as servlets. I am using eclipse and Textpad but I can't get either program to recognize J2EE classes. Is this possible? I have downloaded the J2EE SDK and started with some basic .jsp pages but I am more of a programmer than a web designer, and I really don't like using markup languages(HTML, XML). This is probably really stupid, but can anyone help me out or just give me some starting words of wisdom?

Make sure <J2EE_HOME>/lib/j2ee.jar is in your classpath:
DO:
javac MyServlet.java -cp path/to/j2ee.jar
OR
set your CLASSPATH env variable to include j2ee.jar
OR
throw j2ee.jar into your <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/ext directory.

XSQL Session and Cookies

Hi, Steven,
I have a question about cookies parameters in include-parameters.
When set the following in my xsql file:
<xsql:set-session-param name="current_user" value="{@sessionid}"/>
<xsql:include-param name="mode"/>
<xsql:include-request-params/>
In the xml output, it looks like this.
<request>
<parameters>
</parameters>
<session/>
<cookies/>
</request>
How come the session and cookies values are not appeared in XML file? However, if I reload the xsql file, the session and cookies values are there. Any idea what might be wrong or it is what should be?
Thanks in advance.
Julie Zhu

I'd expect the cookies not to show up until the page request after the one in which they are set. This is correct since setting the cookies is something that's done on the response. Reading the cookies is reading them from the request.
Regarding the session variables, it's
always important to say what Web Servlet / Servlet Engine you're using XSQL with. Perhaps the setting of Servlet session variables behaves differently on different servers.

Safari 5.1, OS 10.6.8 and cookie controls

Ok, I know there are numerous threads here in the Mac Safari forum regarding the issue of Safari 5.1 and cookie control. I just thought I would start my own thread instead of continuing on something else.
I am using Safari 5.1 and 10.6.8. I waited for a bit to update to 5.1 (did it this week), giving it since its debut on July 20th. I too am experiencing the lack of cookie controls. The three settings that exists do not seem to do what they say except that they always allow cookies. To update from Safari 505, I downloaded the installer from Apple downloads instead of using SU function.
Has anyone read something that Apple knows of this issue?
Since installing Safari 5.1, I have done the last security update as well.
I remember reading that reinstalling the 1.1 version of the 10.6.8 combo would replace Safari 5.1 with 505. But, has anyone tried that? Will Safari 5.1 show up in software update as well as the last security update? I am wondering if I reapply that combo if it will undo the last security fix as well (since I am assuming software update will still see the receipt for the previous ones and not call for them to be redone).
If all cookies are coming through, isn't this a serious bug? I have been resetting safari often to wipe them out, but they reoccur switftly. I have to MBP's and am seeing the same behaviour on both.

I'd use that terminal command - takes seconds (and a restart) + no download. But otherwise yes - the 10.6.8 v1.1 then the update & anything else software update picks up (not safari, obviously )
Some people happily get a copy of just the safari 5.0.5 application & use that, since apparently it works, although I'm not sure what cookie function you'll get (easy enough to see). You'd use Pacifist to extract it from the 5.0.5 installer package, or grab it from a backup.
Although you'd hope software update would catch the security change - I'm not sure if the combo would overwrite the new or not... on the one hand, it's newer, but on the other, it sure over-wrote safari 5.1 when i checked it... so better to be sure, I haven't checked since that update.
If you look at the files in /System/Library/Keychains/ afterwards - if EVRoots.plist, SystemRootCertificates.keychain, and SystemTrustSettings.plist are all dated 23 April 2011, the combo rolled them back - if they're later... it didn't.
Apple do know, since bug reports come back as 'duplicate of...' - but there's no public info to my knowledge.
How much of a security issue is this? Should I worry about it, or just leave it until they update to fix?
more privacy than real security, I'd say - although there are add-ons to manage cookies.

Help needed on Servlets and JSTL

Hi
I am using tomcat 5.5 and JDK 1.5. What are the softwares I have to download for compiling servlets and creating JSTL ?. Help needed.
Thanks
IndyaRaja

I tried compling servlet, but it is raising error
that coul not find package javax.servletWhat I did not mention... you need to add those JARs in the Classpath explicitly. You will find them in %TOMCAT_HOME%\common\lib. You atleast need to add servlet-api.jar to your Classpath. :)
