Jsp calls servlet

hi,
could you please help me with this problem:
i use tomcat 5.5,
here're my folders and files in the root folder
cns(cns in tomcat\webapps\):
cns\registration.jsp
cns\WEB-INF\classes\servlet\RegistrationServlet.java
(and .class)
here is the form in registration:
<form
action="/cns/WEB-INF/classes/servlet/servlet.Registrat
ionServlet" method="post">
<td><input type="submit"
value="submit"></td>
/form>
and here is the content of RegistrationServlet.java
file:
package servlet1;
class RegistrationServlet extends HttpServlet{
but when i click the "submit button", tomcat returns
an error page:
HTTP Status 404 -
/cns/WEB-INF/classes/servlet/servlet.RegistrationServl
et
type Status report
message
/cns/WEB-INF/classes/servlet/servlet.RegistrationServl
et
description The requested resource
(/cns/WEB-INF/classes/servlet/servlet.RegistrationServ
let) is not available.
i have tried to modify the relative link in the <form
action="..."> but no effects.
Here is the code u can copy and use it:
login.jsp
<html>
<head>
<title>Test JSP</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="./register" method="post" >
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Test OK" >
</form>
</body>
</html>place above JSP file in your root directory (cns).
RegistrationServlet.java
package servlet;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
* @author sivakumar
public class RegistrationServlet extends HttpServlet {
      public void service(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException,IOException{
               PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
               response.setContentType("text/html");
               out.println("Hi this is my servlet");
}compile the above Servlet and put the class file in classes directory of WEB-INF
then ur direcotry structure should be like as follows:
   cns
        WEB-INF
                  classes
                          servlet
                                  RegistrationServlet.class
                  lib
                  web.xml
         login.jspin the above structure "servlet" is the package which contains RegistrationServlet.class file. make sure that u create the package.
and web.xml file should be like this;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
    version="2.4">
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>registration</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>servlet.RegistrationServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>registration</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/register</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>Now give the url
http://localhost:8080/cns/login.jsp

JSP calling servlet, servlet in a package!

Hi,
I have two servlets called
1- (myPackage.MyServlet)
2- MyServlet2
Using a button in an HTML page, how can I direct the call to the servlet packaged servlet??
when I call MyServlet2, everything is fine:
<form method="POST" action="/MyServlet2" name="addUserForm1">when I call myPackage.MyServlet a resource not found Error appears.
<form method="POST" action="/myPackage.MyServlet" name="addUserForm1">I am using Netbeans, Tomcat server 5.5.7

Answers can be found in this tutorial: http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/#Web-Apps

Maintain session when calling servlet from form in a JSP

I have the following set up:
index.jsp calls login servlet from the action tag in a form.
Login servlet handles the login, stores the user info and db connection in the session and uses forward(req,res) to call another jsp.
That jsp has a form where user enters search info and in that form's action tag there is a search servlet. In the search servlet I am unable to access the session.
Is there any way to pass the session to the servlet from that jsp using a form/action?

I've read elsewhere that if you go from a jsp to a servlet that the >request object is cleared of any attributes from the previous request.which is correct. But arent we speaking about session object here? A request object is valid for a request - ie the phase from where the server receieves a hit for a resource upto the point it sends the output for that request.
A session spans multiple requests.
it doesn't retrieve the session info and gives me a null pointer >exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.Bad bad bad . Why do you store Connection objects in session? Create them when necessary or use a connection pool. Do you for example clean up the connections when the session expires. What if its a 30 minute session and the user hits every say 15 minutes with a request. Why do you need to hold on to the Connection in the intervening interval when the user's session is inactive?
gives me a null pointer exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.which means that the Connection object is null - not the session object.
That last line is where I get the null pointer exception. And that is
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();?
Same answer as above.
If the session object was null,
userSession.getAttribute("connection");would have thrown a NPE.

Jsp file calling servlet two times

hello
i have created registration form for hospital management project in which registration form is jsp file on clicking on submit it calls servlet file which actually inserts data into database but problem is when i click on submit button it calls servlet file more than one time which leads to duplication of data.plz help in this matter, It is very important to me

First question is are you absolutely sure that the form is being submitted twice? Did you look at the access logs to see that there are two Http requests being sent to the server?
In tomcat you have to enable the access logs.

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI)

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI) on Windows 2000
We had problems making it initially work on Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 Service Pack 1 because of lack of good iPlanet Web
Server documentation on deploying such files.
This is how we went about it:
1) Make one of the servlet and JSP (must call another Java Class) web application (.war) examples work with iPlanet Web
Server.
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.war
and
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
a) Go to your Web Server Administration to deploy the application using GUI Web Application Deploy.
(We usually use command line, we experienced some issues with the GUI version, but maybe it is fixed in the new Web Server
service packs)
From browser, open http://yourserver:8888/
Click on Select a Server:Manage
Click on Virtual Server Class
Click on https-yourserver
Click on the Web Applications Tab
Then, click on Deploy Web Application
Enter the following -
WAR File On: Local
WAR File Path: C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Application URI: /jakarta
Installation Directory: c:\iPlanet\examples\jakarta-examples
By clicking on OK it deployed the application.
I can verify that it is deployed by selecting "Edit Web Applications" and I see the following entry:
Edit     /jakarta     c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples
Also, c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples should have the similar following directory structure ..
- [images]
- [jsp]
- index.html
- [servlets]
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- [classes]
- [tlds]
- web.xml
- index.html
I restarted the server and accessed it using the following URL from my IE browser:
http://yourserver/jakarta/index.html
Then I clicked on the JSP Examples and tried some JSP examples.
b) Alternatively, you can also deploy the same example from the command-line.
Make sure C:\iPlanet\Servers\bin\https\httpadmin\bin\ is in your path
wdeploy deploy      -u /jakarta
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\jakarta-examples
          C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Restart the web server (I don't think you have to restart, but .. might as well).
2)Deploy your web-application
My Foo.war has the following structure.
You can use jar tf Foo.war to look at the file contents from command line (assuming you have JDK installed and the bin is
in your PATH)
Foo.war
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- web.xml
- [classes]
- Bar.class
- MoServlet.class
- [lib]
- ThirdParty.jar
- [natlib]
- extlib.dll
- foo.jsp
Here is our application scenario:
foo.jsp uses a class call Bar (it is not in any package). The Bar java class uses classes from ThirdParty.jar. The
ThirdParty.jar in turn uses JNI to load library extlib.dll. foo.jsp also calls /servlet/Mo as well.
Now to deploy it, do the following:
(a) Make sure that within foo.jsp, you import the Bar class ( I don't know why you have to do it, but if you don't you get
JSP compile error).
<%@page language="java" import="Bar" contentType="text/html"%>
(b) Check web.xml (for Servlets)
Within web.xml, make sure you have the following mappings:
<servlet>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<servlet-class> MoServlet </servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /servlet/Mo </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(c) Deploy the application
Using command line:
wdeploy deploy      -u /foo
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\foo-dir
          Foo.war
(d) Change web-apps.xml file (for picking up ThirdParty.jar)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
You should see something similar to following after successful deployment.
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true"/>
Change it to look like following to pick up the ThirdParty.jar
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true">
<class-loader reload-interval="300"
          classpath="C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/WEB-INF/lib/ThirdParty.jar"
          delegate="false"/>
</web-app>
(e) Change jvm12.conf file (for JNI)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
Add or uncomment the following lines:
#optional - just helps with instrumenting the jsp and servlet code
jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
jvm.enableDebug=1
nes.jsp.enabledebug=1
jvm.trace=7
jvm.verboseMode=1
#required for JNI
java.compiler=NONE
jvm.classpath=.;C:\JDK1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;
jvm.option=-Xrs
jvm.option=-Xnoagent
# not sure if this is needed for iPlanet web server
jvm.option=-Djava.library.path=C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib/ -Djava.compiler=NONE
(f) Change magnus.conf file (for JNI)
We HAD to change this file in order for ThirdParty.jar file to pick up the native C++ code using JNI. Apparently, the
iPlanet Web Server doesn't pick the Environment Variable Path. Because when we had the directory containing the DLL just
in Path, it didn't work.
Change Extrapath directive:
ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
to
ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
(g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.
http://yourserver/foo/foo.jsp
Hope this was helpful!!!

Getting to next JSP from Servlet

I am getting a 404 when I try to redirect from my servlet to an error page. The code that I am testing is....
catch (SQLException es)
LOG.error("Unexpected error in Login.createUser.Error
message = " + es);
session.setAttribute(Constants.MESSAGE, es.getMessage());
session.setAttribute(Constants.ERROR_TITLE, "Login error: " + Constants.SQL_ERROR);
resp.sendRedirect(Constants.ERROR_PATH);
I have a compiled java class called Constants where the ERROR_PATH is defined as
/** Constant name used in obtaining the path to the error page. */
public static final String ERROR_PATH = "/Jsp/error.jsp";
My JSP pages are located at the root...
myapp
....Jsp
....WEB-INF
........classes
My web.xml looks like this
<servlet>
<servlet-name>errorPage</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/Jsp/errorPage.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>error</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Jsp/error.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Can anyone point me in the right direction....Thanks

I tend to use a utility method called redirectToResource in particular to redirect from any servlet to any JSP :
/** This method will still work when the server is configured to
*   listen to port 80 rather than port 8080 (default in Tomcat)
public void redirectToResource (HttpServletRequest req,
                                 HttpServletResponse resp,
                              String resourceName)
                     throws ServletException, IOException
   int serverPort    = req.getServerPort();
   String scheme     = req.getScheme();
   String serverName = req.getServerName();
   StringBuffer urlBuffer = new StringBuffer(40);
   urlBuffer.append(scheme + "://" + serverName);
   urlBuffer.append(":" + serverPort);
   urlBuffer.append(resourceName);
    String location = resp.encodeRedirectURL(urlBuffer.toString());
    resp.sendRedirect(location);
}

Need help in JSP and Servlets

Hi friends,
[please forgive me if i am posting this in the wrong forum, all seems same to a fresher]
Now, to my problem..i need a suggestion, a way or a method to implement the following!
I am supposed to create a servlet that reads data from oracle database. Once i retrive the data (for example: 6 rows of a table having 4 attributes), i am supposed to pass this data to a JSP page where the data has to be formatted and displayed properly. If i call the same servlet from a different JSP, i should be able to access the data in that JSP and format it in a different way. How do i pass the data to JSP? what method i can use to achieve this task?
Note: I already know about PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter(); and then printing the formated HTML page..but i want to keep the formatting to JSP part and send only the data part that i can access in JSP
Thanks in adavance

Note: I already know about PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter(); and then printing the formated HTML page..but i want to keep the formatting to JSP part and send only the data part that i can access in JSPA wise approach - I wish more prople woiuld be as thoughtful.

Calling servlet from a java program

Hi
I need to call a servlet's doPost() method from a java program. I have a specific situation, where I need to call servlet from a java program. DUring this call I need to pass a file and two string to the servlet. Servelt after receiving the file and string uploads the file to the server at a specified location. I am stuck up as how to call servlet from a java program instead of a HTML or JSP.
Can anyone help me to start with this.
any suggestion is welcome.

You have to establish a URLConnection with servlet from your java program.
URL servletURL = new URL("http://localhost:8080/Myservlet?str1=abc&str2=def");
URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();you can get the objectOutputStream
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream (servletConnection.getOutputStream());
oos.writeObject(your file object);-------------------------------------------------
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str1");
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str2");
file = new ObjectInputStream (request.getInputStream()).readObject()a lot of resources are available on this ...
hope this helps :)

JSP and Servlets? What's the difference?

I've got this book, and it's mixing servlet with jsp and then jsp with servlet. Can we just use one and still make a web application? What is the difference between the both? Can anyone give me a basic idea behind these 2 J2ee technologies.

hi,
Both use server-side Java to dynamically generate web pages. The source code to a JSP looks like HTML, with Java embedded inside
(a) normal HTML tags, (b) JSP tags like <jsp:include>, (c) custom tags, (d) scriptlets (Java code surrounded with <% and %>).
The source code to a servlet looks like Java, with HTML embedded in out.print(...) statements. Both use the Servlet API to communicate with the web server and the client. In fact, a JSP gets compiled into a servlet, so they're almost identical in terms of expressive power. The choice is, whether you're more comfortable coding your pages in Java or in JSP-style HTML; and since you can call a JSP from a Servlet and vice versa, you don't have to make an either-or decision.

Basic jsp and servlet question (JSP Model 2)

Hi
I want to make an website where i use JSP Model 2 architecture. However I got a basic question
1. I need to separate business logic from presentation with the use of jsp and servlets. Meaning I want no html code in the servlet. Can you give a simple example of how this can be done? If I map my implementation of httpServlet to a jsp page in web.xml and override doPost() and doGet(). The calls to the jsp page comes to the servlet as it should. I want to process some methods (calling sessionbeans or similar which in turn calls entitybeans) and then show the jsp page.
How do I show the jsp page without mixing html in the servlet as I've done below:
doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
PrintWriter p = response.getWriter();
p.print("<html><body>Hello world</body></html>"); //I dont want to do //this, I want to display the JSP site
doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
//doSomething

You should treat your servlet class much like a controller, where you can then use JSP as the view. The way you achieve this is to use the forward() method in RequestDispatcher.
Say you've got a servlet class org.yoursite.controller.YourController:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
//Set some value for use in the JSP file associated wth me
req.setAttribute("greeting", "Hello world!");
//Done with our business logic, off we go to the JSP file
ServletContext app = getServletContext();
    RequestDispatcher disp;
    disp = app.getRequestDispatcher("/some/jsp/file.jsp);
    disp.forward(req, resp);
}Now in your JSP file:
<h1>Example</h1>
<div>
I just want to say <%= request.getAttribute("greeting") %>
</div>Going to that servlet now executes business logic and then points to the JSP file for the view. You can forward from servlet to servlet too if needs be. The string you pass to forward() is whatever would be in the URI of the request so any <servlet-mapping> configurations in web.xml are used ;)
There is some pretty in-depth documentation on the J2EE blueprints website, namely service-to-worker and front-controller patterns. I dare say if you're looking for this sort of code you'll want to look at the composite view pattern too (also on blueprints).

Good Book on JSP and Servlets

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good, recently published book on JSPs and Servlets?

Things on the Internet may be up to date, but they
aren't necessarily as usable as a book.
For example. I am just trying to learn Ant. There's
the Ant user manual at http://ant.apache.org/manual/
for a start. But to find anything you have to click on
a link, then on another link, then on another link.
And it doesn't have an index so even if you know what
you are looking for, you still have to start at the
beginning and click randomly until you find it. And
you can't easily browse through looking for
interesting things.
Not to mention that it doesn't give you any
suggestions on what to do and why. It simply describes
the various XML elements used by Ant. For example it
may be possible to have an element which is like a
subroutine, so you can call the same code from
multiple targets. But if it is, I haven't found out
how yet.
Sometimes a book is better. In this case it would be.I agree with DrClap. Books do have a shelf life in IT, but they're definitely worth having.

Mapping JSP as Servlet

I want to deploy JSP's in weblogic server 6.1. For that,I have done the following steps.
          1.I copied the JSP file under the web application root.
          2.I included the same JSP file in the web.xml file like this.
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
          <jsp-file>Test.jsp</jsp-file>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/Test</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          Then started the server again.
          I called the JSP page in IE with the following URL.
          http://127.0.0.1:7001/Test
          When I request the page,it gives error as Resource not found on the server console.
          Could you please clarify me.
          Regards,

Did you do all of this in the DefaultWepApplication? If not, you will
          have to include the name of the application in your browser.
          Example:
          applications/testapp/Test.jsp
          applications/testapp/WEB-INF/web.xml like below
          In your browser: http://127.0.0.1:7001/testapp/Test
          This should work.
          Hope this helps,

Which part of container actually converts jsp to servlet

hi all,
although it's container's responsibility to convert
jsp to servlet, but can any body tell me
which part of that container is actually
is responsible for this conversion
thanx

At least for Tomcat, the engine that converts a JSP into Java code is Jasper. Then the container has to take the Java code and compile that to a .class file. Once it has that, it keeps reusing the .class file whenever you make a JSP call.
That's why first page access is often slow.
A way to speed it up is to pre-compile your JSPs.
