Junk characters like" � � "displayed in the jsp page please help.

Hi,
I am getting junk characters like � � displayed in the jsp page.
In the JSP page i used javascript "& nbsp" for appending spaces to a string "CCR" to get "CCR " .
Now the Resultant string "CCR " has three spaces appended to its right.
This String is set in session in that JSP page.
In the next JSP page i am getting that string from session.
After getting the string the "substring" function is performed to get only the first 5 charcters of the string. Now the result is displayed as " CCR� � " with has last 2 characters as junk values � � insteed of displaying as "CCR ". Please help me in solving this issue.
Please note that initially the sting "CCR" is got from the Oracle database in Solaris Machine.
Regards,
Vijay

have you tried:
strenuously inspecting the string that is coming from the db? do an actual loop over the string, character by character, dumping to System.out to make sure the characters are EXACT coming out of the db.
note you have to append " " not just "& nbsp"
post the code that is doing the output. the relevant bean code, the jsp, everything relevant - WITH COMMENTS discussing where things are happening.
Also, is it "weird characters" in the browser only? have you done a view source on the actual html source that the browser is rendering (right click in IE and click view source). browsers can act odd if you don't feed then exactly what they want, and it looks like you're feeding it escaped characters that it is rendering as something else.

Hi All,
I did one JSP Program for retriveing image from DB and display in the JSP Page. But when i run this i m getting "String Value" output. Here i have given my Program and the output. Please any one help to this issue.
Database Used : MS Access
DSN Name : image
Table Name: image

%>Using scriptlets is asking for trouble. Java code belongs in Java classes. Use a Servlet.
               out.println(imgLen.length());Your JSP was supposed to write an image to the output and you wrote some irrelevant strings to the output before? This will corrupt the image. It's like opening the image in a text editor and adding some characters before to it.
               byte [] rb = new byte[len];Memory hogging. Don't do that.
          out.println(ee);You should be throwing exceptions and at least printing its trace, not sending its toString() to the output.

Implementing a Data Cache using Readers And Writers
By Billy Newport, EJB Consultant
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Readers-Writers
You may have come across a situation where you need to cache some data in your server. You then use this cache to service queries from incoming requests. You will also probably have a thread that listens for cache update events. This thread updates the cache in response to these events.
This leads to a problem as it's unlikely that both the threads servicing requests and the update thread will be able to use your cache simultaeneously. You may be tempted to use an exclusive lock such as a Java synchronised block to handle this. This will work but it is probably the worst way that you can do this from a performance perspective. This articles shows how you can use reader writer locks to accomplish the same thing using a much more efficient technique.
Reader writer locks.
How to detect changes to the database?
We can place triggers on a table. These triggers can call a stored procedure when-ever a record is updated/inserted or deleted. If we are caching the data in our application server then obviously when this happens we will want to know about it. We can split databases in to two categories when we look at implementing this. Oracle and everybody else.
Oracle 8i
Oracle is the most elegant. I'm assuming you're using Oracle 8i. Oracle 8i has a builtin JMS mechanism. We can define a queue in Oracle. Our pl/sql (or Java) stored procedure gets attached to the trigger. The stored procedure enqueues a message on the Oracle queue. The message would describe the event that happened. Our application servers will run a thread inside the application server VM that subscribe to and then listen to this queue. When a legacy system or an application server modifies the database then our triggers will call this stored procedure. It then enqueues the message. If the transaction is commited then the message is commited and sent to the listeners. If the transaction is rolled back then it is not commited and not sent. If the transaction is commited then all our application servers will receive the message. They can then use the message contents to see what happened and update the cache accordingly.
Oracle 8 includes a full JVM. You could as an alternative use a Java stored procedure to multicast the event or send the event any way you choose. This isn't possible using Sybase or DB2 as they don't include the java.net package in the VM inside the database.
If you're using an older version of Oracle then there is a way to send messages over an Oracle connection from the server to a client. Check your OCI manual for details. This message will be sent though regardless of the transaction outcome unlike the Oracle AQ solution.

Help needed urgently to get the values from the jsp page.

hi,
I am badly stuck into this problem.Please help me and find a solution.
I am using ms-access and jsp.
my database structure is as given below:
m_emp_no | from_date | to_date | approver| status |
1002 | 22/9/2008 | 23/9/2008|1003 |pending
1004 | 29/9/2008 | 30/9/2008|1003 |pending
2044 | 15/9/2008 | 16/9/2008|3076 |pending
now this is exactly a leave apply scenario where a page is displayed and the user has to fill in the details to apply leave.then the approver has to approve that leaves so even, he should get the details in his account.
for example here 1003 has to approve leaves for 1002 & 1004.i am able to fetch data from database for the particular approver here is the coding:
<html>
<body>
<h2 align="center"><u><b><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><font color="#C0C0C0" face="Comic Sans MS">Leave

    </tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>{code}
this will display both the rows but when i try to retrieve the values into update.jsp using the code given below it gives me only one value which is the first 1002.
{code}approved=(String)request.getParameter("approved");
id=(String)request.getParameter("id");{code}
but i need both the values to be inserted into the update.jsp only then the approver will be able to approve the leaves individually with respect to the m_emp_no.
please help me out.
thanks in advance.

Displaying content in JSP page, want BR but not other Html tags

I have a page and am reading files and displaying the contents of the files onto the page in a <div> Oneissue is that in the file the end of line are \n or \r\n whichever operation system. I replaced those with <BR> no problem. Now my issue is that I display that in the JSP page:
<c:out value="${filecontents}" escapeXml="false" />I use escapeXml so that <BR> will add the line breaks. Now my issue is that the file might contains other HTML tags that I want to display simply as text - I don't want the browser to render the other HTML tags.
Is there a way to do that? Would I have to replace HTML tags with something special?

Hmm... your file contains HTML tags, but you don't want the browser to interpret them as HTML tags, right? So the way to do that is to use escapeXml="true" in your c:out element.
But then that also escapes the <BR> tags that you carefully put in there. And you don't want that. You want the browser to interpret those as HTML tags.
I guess you can't have it both ways. Can you do something like outputting one line of the file at a time with <c:out ... escapeXml="true"> followed by <br>?

How to call an exe program from the JSP page?

How to call and display the interface from a exe (residing on C: drive) on my JSP page. Our customers supplied us with an exe file and they want this to be incorporated on the JSP page that has other components also, like forms, etc. The interface of the program has to be displayed in specific co-ordinates on the JSP page. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can't be done with JSP.
JSP runs java on the SERVER only.
All that gets to client is an HTML page. So all that
you can do at the client is what an HTML page can do.
Obviously that doesn't include running a file on the
client machine.
Take a look into Applets, or maybe ActiveX controls.Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on how to use the ActiveX controls in this regard?

Help!!! Display "null" in JSP page

What is difference between them ?If I do not want to change the code (many places) ,is there any way to confirgue sun one or easy ways to solve this problem?
Could evry expert to help me to firgure out how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,

You also might want to check JDK versions and J2EE versions being used. These might yield different results.

Determine the outcome of an action in the jsp page?

can i determine the outcome of an action in the jsp page?
for example:
i create a jsp file that contains two links, that play the role of tabs....
the action is different for the two links say "action1" and "action2" but the result page is the same original page...
can i determine what whas the action the user clicked?( so that i can display different things, according to action )

you can use the <f:param> component with your commandLink and set a different value for each of your link. Then, in your jsp, you should be able to retrieve the value of the parameter in the request.

Display image on jsp page

I have to display image on jsp page with some text output. This image is already saved at a location parallel to web-inf and is generated dynamically using a servlet. I have used img tag html to display the image. Other outputs are taking their values from database.
First problem is that image will be taking time to display in comparision of other outouts from database. I have to refresh the page to get imageon my page.
Second is that if I save image in a folder parallel to web-inf in my project then it will not be displaying the image.
Can I use any jsp functionality to display image with other outputs from database. I have used "*include*". but it shows only that image and other outputs.

Best way is to use a servlet for this.
<img src="path/to/imageservlet?id=someidentifier">

<img src="path/to/imageservlet/someidentifier">In the servlet's doGet() just write code which gets an InputStream of the image (either directly generated, or just read from the local disk file system, if necessary with help of ServletContext#getRealPath(), or even from the DB by ResultSet#getBinaryStream()) and writes it to the OutputStream of the response. That's basically all. Don't forget to buffer the streams properly to speedup performance and to save memory.
You can find here a basic example: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html].

You're using plain HTML <input type="file"> elements. Use Tomahawk's <t:inputFileUpload> components instead of you want to make use of JSF's validation and messaging capabilities.
If you insist in using a servlet instead of a bean for this, then just do all the usual JSP/Servlet way. My suggestion would be to hold a Map<String, String> which contains the fieldname-message pairs which you store in the request scope and then use the usual JSP/EL way to display them.
