Locating EJB classes from JSP

Hi all,
I have some JSP that invoke Session Beans. My question is:
what is the right place to put EJB classes in order to be found by JSP ?
I have found the following solutions but they both slow down during development
phase:
1) Build an EAR and let the JSP reference EJB classes via the Class-Path attribute.
This is nice but a bit complex: I'd like to use EAR only for shipment phase and
not for every small change to the Bean.
2) Let WLS see the classes including them in the classpath at startup. But this
has the disadvantage that I have to restart WLS every time because - I suppose-
WLS isn't able to unload classes if I include them in the CLASSPATH
So what do you suggest me for development phase? is there a faster solution?
Thanks a lot

Hi Arjuna,
put it on the weblogic startup classpath.mmmmm well I think the JSP will not reload the EJB classes when I make a change
if they are on the classpath...unless I restart the server....I'll try again...I
hope I'm wrong...
thanks

for testing
- put it on the weblogic startup classpath.
- use the console's hot deploy facility to re-deploy the ejb after changes.
This works well for me (WLS6.1).

Can't access non ejb classes from JSP - NoClassDefFound error

          Hi,
          I have one session ejb which has a method returning a collection of non ejb class objects (say of Class 'Foo').
          The method signature is like :
          "Collection getFinacialData() throws RemoteException"
          It is working fine with normal java clients. Now when I run this from a JSP it gives a "NoClassDefFoundError". I kept class 'Foo' and the remote interface of the session bean in the same package and also in the same ejb jar file. Also I am running JSP and ejb in same WL server(ver 5.1, SP8 on solaris). What I have done is only deployed the bean jar file. Do I need to do anything more?
          thanks in advance.


I ran into a similar problem. I solved it by putting the client classes for
          accessing my EJB in the WebLogic POST_CLASSPATH in the startWebLogic script
          file:
          set POST_CLASSPATH=d:\weblogic\myserver\myClient.jar
          For more information on class visibility between the JSP and EJB class

Accessing custom classes from JSP

Hi Guys,
I am having some problems accessing my custom classes from my JSP.
1) I've created a very simple class, SimpleCountingBean that just has accessors for an int. The class is in the package "SimpleCountingBean". I compiled this class locally on my laptop and uploaded the *.class file to my ISP.
2) I've checked my classpath and yes, the file "SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean.class" is located off of one of the directories listed in the classpath.
3) When I attempt to use this class in my JSP, via the following import statement:
import "SimpleCountingBean.*"
I get the following compile error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean
I'm pretty sure that my classpath is properly setup because when I purposely garble the import statement, I get the "package not found" compile error.
Do I need to upload some other files in addition to the class file? Any suggestions would of course be appreciated.
Sonny.

Trying to get some clearer view.. so don't mind..
So you uploaded all your .jsp files into your account which is:
home/sonny
and it compiles and work. But custom classes doesn't seems to be working, where did you place your classes?
From my knowledge of tomcat, classes are normally placed in, in this case:
home/sonny/web-inf/classes
Maybe it differs from windows enviroment to *nix enviroment.. well, I'm just saying out so if its not the case.. don't mind me.

Calling my Java class from JSP page

Hello, I am trying to call my Java class from my JSP page passing parameters to it and getting back a collection of result sets. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong:
JSP code to call Java class:
<%
String strEssUser = "test";
String strProcessingMonth = "JUL";
String strProcessingYear = "2002";
strQueryList=new ListReturn(strEssUser.toString(), strProcessingMonth.toString(), strProcessingYear.toString());
%>
I get this error when I try to run this JSP page using tomcat:
C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\work\Standalone\localhost\em\jsp\Test_0005fSummarySBU_0005fscreen$jsp.java:77: Class org.apache.jsp.ListReturn not found.
strQueryList=new ListReturn(strEssUser.toString(), strProcessingMonth.toString(), strProcessingYear.toString());
I'm not sure if this problem is the way I am calling the Java class, or if I have a problem in the Java code itself. Can anyone help?

Ok, I get a very strange error now:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPerror: An error has occurred in the compiler; please file a bug report (http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi).

Can not call bean class from JSp/Tomcat 5.5

hello everyone...
i m using one bean class Parser which is called by discussion.jsp page. i put class file in webapps/grid/WEB-INF/classes and JSP page is in webapps/grid/. The whole combination is working fine for tomcat 3.3.2 but not working properly in tomcat 5.5.
Error is as follow...

An error occurred at line: 38 in the jsp file: /discussion.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Parser cannot be resolved or is not a typeplease help me....
Thank in Advance

You still need to import the class from the default package. As a word of advice you should put the class in a package. The later versions of Tomcat do not play well with bean classes that are not in packages.

Call a class from another class from JSP?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where Im going wrong with this one. Why is the result different if I uses a class, than a jsp page. Returning a regular string is fine, but a string I read from a file...
I have an application that is structured like so:
The class "packClass1" in      app
package "TestPackage" simply      |
calls a method in class           jspPage1.jsp
"packClass2". "packClass2" reads |
a Properties type from a       WEB-INF
file and returns it. Then              |
packClass1 just passes a string      classes
using getProperty back to the          |
caller.                             normalClass1.java
                              |
If the caller is normalClass1.java     TestPackage
(from the console) then it responds        |
as expected, returning the string          packClass1.java
from the file. BUT - if the caller is      packClass2.java
the jspPage1.jsp, then it returns
"null". Here is the code (names have
been changed to protect the innocent...)jspPage1.jsp (this outputs: "result is: null"):<%@ page import="TestPackage.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="testOne" scope="page" class="tpack.packClass1" />
<% out.println(testOne.getAString()); %>normalClass1.java (this outputs: "result is: gotFromFile"):import TestPackage.*;
public class two{
     public static void main(String args[]){
          packClass1 testOne = new packClass1();
          System.out.println(testOne.oneOne(getAString()));
          three.load();
}packClass1.java:package TestPackage;
import java.util.Properties;
public class packClass1{
     public packClass1(){}
     public String packClass1(){
          Properties props = packClass2.load();
          return props.getProperty("aStringValue");
}packClass2.java:package TestPackage;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.io.*;
public class three{
     public three(){};
     public static Properties load(){
              Properties p = new Properties();
          //skipped out exception handlin' for brevity
             p.load(new java.io.FileInputStream("test.prop"));
                return p;
}I am VERY new to all this, and I (obviously) havent figured out differences between servlets and beans etc... I am reseaching! But in the mean time... any ideas?!

public String packClass1(){          Properties props = packClass2.load();          return props.getProperty("aStringValue");     }
this function name is bit dodgy coz it has same name as the class name??????
its confusing

IllegalAccessError trying to instantiate public class from JSP page

I have a public class called UrlHolderClient located in both
WEB-INF/classes/UrlHolderClient.class and
WEB-INF/lib/urlholder.jar.
This client class is used as a wrapper class around a simple ejb which holds urls. I have a JSP which tries to create an instance of UrlHolderClient in jspInit(), but the call to the constructor throws a java.lang.IllegalAccessError. I have no idea what the problem is here. I import the classes using the page directive.
Any suggestions?

Is this tomcat you are deploying on or some other App Server?
Also, you reference JspInit(), have you tried instanting in
Scriplet Code <% UrlHolderClient urlHolderClient = new UrlHolderClient() %>
Does that not work either?

How to call an ejb method from jsp?

Hi, everyone!
Inside my JSP, I4m using scripts in order to show and receive information, that is, a form.But I don4t Know if I can use the same variables from the script in order to call the 'set' methods from my EJB.
Could anyone show me an example?
Thanks in advance,
Silvia

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
     GeneralEditor editor = (GeneralEditor) ctx
                    .lookup("GeneralEditorBean/remote");
          GeneralService service = (GeneralService) ctx
                    .lookup("GeneralServiceBean/remote");
          LanMu lm = new LanMu();
          lm.setName("shdfkhsad");
          editor.add(lm);

Using java class from JSP page

I have a class that connects to the database and return the result in form of array of objects, now I wrote a tester and I was able to print the result on the console but when it came to JSP how can I use this class I am a bit confused, how can I declare an array of objects and save the result that comes from the class method
note: my class is not a bean it is a service class that contain methods to retreive different information from the database.
I would apritiate any help but please make it in sequence for example declaring an array to hold the result then call the method that returns the array of objects..etc
please help, I am really confused and don't know what to write
thank you

You can access a class in the same way as a bean, after all a bean is just a class that follows a set of rules.
You need to put your classes in packages to access them.
I have 2 packages, params and DTO. I set the class that returns the Data Transfer Object, or array of objects up as I would a bean
<jsp:useBean id="DTO" scope="request" class="params.DTO" />
I think you skip the above declaration and access it directly in code using
params.DTO();
but setting it up as I would a bean allows me to simply use
DTO();
DTO is the class that passes back the array of objects.
Objects themselves I have in a seperate package, also called DTO (sorry if this is confusing, made sense at the time :-) ) You dont need them in seperate packages, just helped me keep DTO objects seperate from business logic classes......
Now before I use params.DTO() I declare a variable of the Object type DTO() returns
<%! DTO.workSheet[] ws; %>
So, ws is the object type that will be returned by params.DTO()
Then to get my array of objects back from params.DTO() :-
ws = DTO.workSheet(day);
or if you dont like the bean declaration
ws = params.DTO.workSheet(day);
You need to put your packages under WEB-INF/Classes when using Tomcat
So I have
Tomcat 5.0\webapps\myApplication\WEB-INF\classes\params
Tomcat 5.0\webapps\myApplication\WEB-INF\classes\DTO
Under which reside the classes

Cant find bean class from jsp page using Tomcat 4

Hi
I have searched numerpus forums and seen many posts from people who seem to have the same problem however none of the solutions seem to work for me.
I have a jsp page which is trying to call a bean method however I get an error
saying that the class for the bean cannot be found. I have :
1. put the class in a package called kolaBean under
C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\ROOT\begjsp-ch01\WEB-INF\classes\kolaPackage
2. included the package statement in the java file for the bean
3. included an empty constructor in the java file for the bean
4. I have declared the above constructor as public (is this necessary?)
5. used the full package name:
kolaPackage.kolaBean bakedBean = new kolaPackage.kolaBean();
6. imported import java.beans.*; (is this necessary ?)
7. still got the same error...
Any pointers really really appreciated
Thanks
Kola

in reply to David Rons email:
Is this a fresh install of tomcat? If so, it could be a configuration
problem.Yes it is
Is the class public in the package (I forget that all the time)?Yes it is. I have also declared the constructor to be public is this
necessary?
What's the error message?here is the error message:
An error occurred between lines: 11 and 14 in the jsp file:
/begjsp-ch01/kolaBean.jsp
Generated servlet error:

How to call a method of an Action class from JSP on load?

Hi guys
Due to bad design pattern, i am forced to do something which i have not tried before.
I need to call a method of a struts action class which invalidated the user session FROM the JSP itself on load. Which means it would not require user input.
We have a subclass of a DispatchAction that handles all the incoming .dos.
So http://blarblarblar:7001/blar/blar/doSomething.do?method=logout will dispatch to an Action class called DoSomething, into a method called logout().
So when the webapp throws an exception, the ActionMapping actually displays an error.jsp and i have to invalidate the user at this stage.
I can't change the most top level code in the base action class so i got to do it this way.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

hi :-) DispatchAction is quite cool ;-)
dont get much of your question but hope
the suggestion below could help.
A. use redirect?
or
B. autosubmit the form
1. create your form in a jsp
   <html:form action="/doSomething" />
     <html:hidden name="method" value="logout" />
   </html:form>2. auto submit the form with method = logout
put the function autosubmit in the "onLoad" event of the body
   <script>
     function autosubmit(){
     var form = document.yourformname;
     form.submit();
   <script>regards,
