Java Beans like an .OCX ?

We are in the design phase of a big project, with our project partners.
The project is in affect a big search engine. Through one HTML interface many 'search-plugins' on the server are 'queried'. One partner has suggest that each plugin could be a JavaBean.
i) Must we use the Bean Development Kit (BDK) to use and develop none-visual beans ? Especially, when a Bean API is available in the JSE 1.4 JDK ?
ii) If we implement a Bean for each plugin type, this will be a none visual component. Will this run on the standard JRE or do we need another runtime container ?

An error in jsp page useBean when i try to include the java bean package?

Hi Sir,
I am using import com.project.ShowData in java beans inorder to connect to the jsp.
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.

How to make view Java Bean as .ocx file.

Hi All,
I want to use a visual Java Bean in Visual basic. So that I can modify all the bean properties as modify properties in a ocx file.
I used ActiveX Com bridge downloaded from Sun's site. But the packager
makes a .tlb file .
This file can only be added as a reference in visual basic but not as a ActiveX control. Is there any way out to do that???
Thanks & regards.
Nimesh

The packager creates a registry file and a tlb file.
After registering this .reg file, java bean can be used as an ActiveX control.
From within Visal Basic, select the "Tools" menu and "Custom Controls" item and add the Bean control that was generated.

What is the difference between java direct or java bean in JSP?

What is the difference if I use java code directly in JSP or use java bean in JSP?
Which class to use for receiving the passed parameter from html or java script? Any difference for java code and java bean in the way receiving the passed data?
How can I pass string from jsp to html or java script?

it's generally accepted as better design to separate presentation from logic. meaning, the java code in the jsp should be used to support displaying data, as oppsoed to implementing the application - like database access, etc.
when the logic is separated from the presentation, it allows you to reuse logic components within several jsp pages.
if you decide to change the presentation layer in the future (to support wap, for example) you don't need to rewrite your entire application, since the "guts" of the application is outside of the jsps.
it is also a good idea to separate your business logic from your data layer. adding a "buffer zone" between these layers helps in the same manner as in separating presentation from logic. if you're using flat files for storage now, upgrading to a database wouldn't require rewriting all your business logic, just the methods which write out the data to a file, for example.
once you feel comfortable with separating the various layers, check out the struts framework at http://jakarta.apache.org/
to answer your second question, to get parameters passed in from HTML forms, use ServletRequet's getParameter() method.
in tomcat:
<% String lastName = request.getParameter( "lastname" ); %>
to answer your third question: when displaying the HTML from withing a jsp, print out the string to a javascript variable or a hidden form element:
<% String firstName = "mike"; %>
<input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="<%= firstName %>">
<script language="javascript1.2">
var firstName = "<%= firstName %>";
</script>
this jsp results in the following html:
<input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="mike">
<script language="javascript1.2">
var firstName = "mike";
</script>

Java Bean Connectivity and Closing Connections (XI 3.0)

Hi guys,
We have existing Java Beans that we would like to use with Crystal Reports. Our current Java beans return a disconnected GridModel and explicitly close the connection immediately after so that they can be returned to the connection pool (Oracle).
Once we modified these beans to return ResultSets we found that closing the connection also closes all the associated ResultSets and Statements.
What is the best practice here?
Modify the Java bean to close the connection in the finally block?
Will Crystal clean up after itself?
I also see there is something called a CachedRowSet which is disconnected:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/sql/rowset/CachedRowSet.html
Is this supported by Crystal?
Thanks,
Kevin D Lee =)

Hello Kevin,
Enterprise XI 3.0 CRConfig.xml points to Java JRE 1.5 provided with the install, so you should be ok with the CachedRowSet.
It's used by other customers for disconnected operation.
Since you're going to Oracle, you'd likely encounter issues mapping Oracle fields to POJO property types.
Furthermore, POJO Factory libraries that were shipped with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 aren't shipped with Enterprise XI 3.0, so you'd not find that an out-of-the-box option.
Another alternative to CachedRowSet is to define callback method in your JavaBeans class that Crystal will call when it's done with the data source.
This has been implemented in XI 3.0 (track ADAPT00877915) - excerpt from the track note:
<JavaBeans>
    <CacheRowSetSize>100</CacheRowSetSize>
     <JavaBeansClassPath>c:\javabeans\</JavaBeansClassPath>
     <CallBackFunction>CrystalReportsLogoff</CallBackFunction>
</JavaBeans>
      Customer can configuration the <CallBackFunction/> to let CR know
      which function should be invoked when loging off.
Advantage of CachedRowSet is that you can immediately close it after you've read all the data, disadvantage would be the default implementation stores all data in memory.
Advantage of the callback method is that it would use the JavaBean you've supplied (and not load all data immediately in memory), but callback won't be called immediately, but only after the report is done with.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Problem with java beans and jsp on web logic 6.0 sp1

          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.

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()
     try
     Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("Here4");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:activeviewer","","");
     System.out.println("Here1");
     catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
     System.out.println("Could not locate driver.");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("An SQL Exception has occured :: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
     catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("An unknown Exception has occured :: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
public void disconnect()
     try
     if (con!=null)
con.close();
     catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("An SQL Exception has occured :: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
public ResultSet select(String username)
if(con!=null)
     try
st=con.createStatement();
     rs=st.executeQuery("select * from company where username='" + username + "'");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("An SQL Exception has occured :: "+e);
     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>
<body>
<% String username=request.getParameter("username");
String password=request.getParameter("password");
System.out.println("username:"+username);
System.out.println("password:"+password);
conn.connect();
ResultSet rs=conn.select(username);
System.out.println("Below select ");
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");

Creating XML file from Java Bean

Hi
Are there any standard methods in Java 1.5 to create XML file from java bean,
i can use JAXB or castor to do so,
But i would like to know if there is any thing in java core classes,
I have seen XMLEncoder, but this is not what i want.
Any ideas

When we can go for a java bean

Hi,
i would like to know when we need or when it will be useful the java bean in a client-server application deveoped by using forms 6i, could abybody help without a link .
Thanks
Bcj

Hi ,
In General words , using JavaBeans / PJC's (Pluggable Java Components) is used when you want to extend your Form Funcionality to Java , on other words , if you have a case on which that Forms API and packages can not help you then you can develop/use a Java Bean or PJC , take a look at this PDF (you don't like Links :) sorry ):

How to store multiline string literal in to java bean shell variable

Hello Experts
How to store multiline string literals in java bean shell like we use triple quote for jython variable
Using Jython
str=""" helllo
welcome to my world"""
above syntax is working but not for java bean shell like below
String str=""" hello
welcome to my world""";
So how to do this in java bean shell. I came to this scenario while storing logs to a variable. I believe there is no solution for storing multiline strings to java bean shell variable.
<@
String str="<%=odiRef.getPrevStepLog("MESSAGE")%>";
@>
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thank You.

Declare the array outside of the loop. Fill the array as you iterate. And stop putting your error messages inside of comments in the code.

Now for single child nodes like cwsId of the main user node i have kept properties like
private String cwsId;
But i am not sure as to how to represent the nodes which contain subnodes like "preferences"node. Any ideas?What is the standard practice?

One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
Class User
    String cwsid;
    String firstName;
    ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
    ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
class Role {
    String code;
    String name;
class Country {
    String code;
    String name;
}And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.

Displaying a JCombo Box in a Java bean with Forms9i

I am including a java bean in my 9i form which uses some swing component such as combo box. The problem is that when I show the popup menu of the combo box, I cannot see the list items available in the box. Is that of L&F problem or is it a Form rendering problem

Hi,
This sounds like a Swing issue that can be cause by the Forms ewt classes.
