JSP Home Interface Problems

Question

Hi, I am havin some problems trying to create a home interface in a JSP from an enterprise bean, i am using the following code :
<%!
     private AddressBook addressbook = null;
     public void jspInit()
          try
               InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
               Object objRef = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/TheAddressBook");
               AddressBookHome home = (AddressBookHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, AddressBookHome.class);
               %> <%!
               addressbook = home.create("a","a","a","a","a","a","a");               
          catch (RemoteException ex)
            System.out.println("Couldn't create AddressBook bean."+ ex.getMessage());
        catch (CreateException ex)
            System.out.println("Couldn't create AddressBook bean."+ ex.getMessage());
        catch (NamingException ex)
            System.out.println("Unable to lookup home: "+ "AddressBook "+ ex.getMessage());
     public void jspDestroy()
     addressbook = null;
%>
     <%
     addressbook01 = home.create("b","a","a","a","a","a","a");
     %>However i cannot access the home interface in the body of the JSP, i.e. where addressbook01 is trying to be created. Does anyone know a way around creating the home interface so that it is accessible in the body of the JSP?
cheers

Answer 1

Milan,
I will attempt to answer some of your questions. Others I need a little more detail on:
1. There isn't a way to run a JSP directly from JDeveloper to TomCat. Our internal server, Web-to-Go, is what we provide for local testing and debugging.
We do, however, support remote debugging JSPs against TomCat. You can find out more about how to set this up from the online help, and also from the JDev 3.1 Remote Debugging Online Demo Walkthroughs available on the JDeveloper OTN page.
2. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I would just answer 'No', if your edits are getting wiped out. I have not experienced this problem myself when I select 'Yes'.
3. Are these JSP files that JDeveloper has created (i.e. via the JSP Web Application Wizard), or ones you created yourself? Does this happen each time you open the project? What are your HTML source and root directories set to in your Project Properties? Are the JSP files located there?
