Login Problem into  Search JSP Query Application

Hello i can login in into the admin jsp but i am not able to login in into the jsp query app. when i start the app. it says
Logon denied:
Invalid username/password
thx for help

what's wrong with using the page's URL in order to navigate. If you need to go to a particular page, just use it's URL. The BC4J application is already cachin your application's state, it's not necessary to navigate the browser's history.

  • Login Window in a JSP /ADF Application...

    Hi ,
    I test the sample demo applications located in
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/index.html
    I have a question , however....
    Is it possible and 'easy' to create a login window , so as the user who types in a url in his browser ... such as :
    http://192.168.1.5:8988/bc_jsp_1-Model1Client-context-root/browse.jsp
    created following the "Creating a JSP Application with ADF Using a Model 1 Architecture" application , will view different rows than another user.....according to , let's say , a flag in the table(s) used in the construction of the ADF model.....
    NOTE:In the sample application "Creating a JSP Application with ADF Using a Model 1 Architecture" (found in http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/index.html) each user is logged in automatically , as the ADF model was constructed using a db user credentials...(hr in this case).
    Thanks , a lot for your interest

    Hi,
    have a look at container managed J2EE security in which you protect an application's root URL. The user can either authenticate through basic authentication or a form based login screen.
    If using e.g. ADF BC, set the property jbo.security.enforce property to MUST and call getPrincipal() on the ApplicationmoduleImpl.
    From here you can set an application specific database context for the user to enforce VPD (Virtual Private Database).
    If you have time to wait, a whitepaper about this is in teh works, probably being leased end of January

  • Another login problem - or is my query at fault?

    I’m pretty new to CF (and coding in general) but am
    ‘enjoying’ the learning experience….slowly coming
    to grips with it but I will stress the ‘slowly’!
    OK I have Ben Forta’s CFMX7 WACK and am trying to
    implement a basic user authentication/login page. (pretty much
    copied from Pages 624-628).
    I am using MX7 and my testing server is on my local machine.
    My database is MS Access.
    Here is my problem: when I submit the username and password
    in my form on the loginForm.cfm page, the LoginCheck.cfm page runs,
    but I receive the error message that
    “The required parameter FORM.USERLOGIN was not
    provided. “
    Since the first two lines of code on this page are
    <cfparam name="FORM.userLogin" type="string">
    <cfparam name="FORM.userPassword" type="string">
    Pretty basic error, but one that I can’t quite
    understand. Where are the values going to…?
    Here is the complete LoginForm code:
    <!--check user is logged in and authenticate -->
    <cfif isDefined("Form.UserLogin")>
    <cfinclude template="LoginCheck.cfm">
    </cfif>

    PROBLEM2
    I am wondering if this is a similar problem to that which I
    was getting when writing an update page (for members details). For
    some reason even though I was using a valid userID in the URL, I
    was passing empty strings when trying to populate the form fields.
    Ie #user.surname# (etc) was empty
    Here is the query:
    <!--get the user record-->
    <cfquery datasource="mydns" name="user">
    SELECT userID, firstname, surname, email, address, city,
    state, postcode, referal
    FROM users
    WHERE userID='#URL.userID#'
    </cfquery>
    Are these two problems related? Any help would be much
    appreciated.

    Your form needs to have the exact name
    name="LoginForm should be name="USERLOGIN"

  • Login Problems and General JSP Security Questions

    I'm new to this, so I'm still not sure if I'm approaching this problem the right way. But after a user logs in with the correct username/password, I create a session attribute like so:
    session.setAttribute("loggedIn", "true");
    Now, inside of every other JSP page I make the following check before the user can continue:
    <%
              String loggedIn = (String)(session.getAttribute("loggedIn"));
              if( loggedIn == null || !loggedIn.equals("true")) {
    %>
                   <jsp:forward page="../login.html" />
    <%
    %>
    And to logout I simply set the attribute to false:
    session.setAttribute("loggedIn", "false");
    Unfortunately, this doesn't work very well. It seems to be very inconsistent. Does anyone know of a better, not-so-difficult, method to do this? Or do you see any problems with what I have?
    Another thing, how do I prevent a user from accessing my JSP directory? For example, I have my JSPs stored in public_html/jsp directory, how do I prevent someone from simply visiting www.mysite.com/jsp without using the web.xml file?

    I use sessions in this way without any problems, what are the inconsistencies??
    You can protect folders with Tomcat security but it requires XML configuration.

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Cindi B
    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • Problem with search method in AM called from JSP

    Hi, im trying to get the real value from an foreign key of a view, and i have been created a custom search method in the AM, but i got a problem, the search only get results the first time that is called, the next times gets null result :
    public String getValorReal(Long identificador, String vista,
    String campoFiltro, String campoValor)
    where identificador is the foreign key, vista is the name of the view that contains the real value of the foreign key, campoFiltro is the field name of the view that will match the foreign key, and campoValor is the field name of the view that the search method will return as the real value.
    I created this class that call the search method :
    public class CuentasContablesOrgLOV {
    private BindingContainer bindings;
    public Map CuentaContable= new HashMap(){
    public Object get(Object key){
    Map parametros;
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    String result = null;
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.
    getOperationBinding("getValorReal");
    if (operationBinding != null){
    parametros = operationBinding.getParamsMap();
    parametros.put("identificador",new Long(key.toString()));
    parametros.put("vista","CcCuentasContablesView4");
    parametros.put("campoFiltro","identificador");
    parametros.put("campoValor","CuentaContable");
    result = (String)operationBinding.execute();
    return result;
    public Map getCuentaContable() {
    return CuentaContable;
    I invoke this class from the JSP with EL:
    <af:outputText value='#{CuentasContablesOrgLOV.cuentaContable[row.CcCucoIdentificador]}'/>
    In the AM method obtains all the parameters correct, but the search only works the first time!
    Do you have an idea whats been happened?
    thanks a lot for your help

    There is no <%@ method %> tag for a JSP.
    http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref12.html
    It looks like you are trying to write a JSP that only accepts post requests - not get?
    I'm not sure if you can accomplish that in a JSP directly.
    You can with an HttpServlet (which is where the doGet/doPost methods are defined) but HttpJspPage doesn't extend that class necessarily.
    Best you could probably do is put in a test of request.getMethod() to see if it is get/post.

  • Use var of sql:query tag into a jsp fragment code

    Hi, i'm spanish and my english is not very good XD.
    I need to use some data from <sql:query> tag into code jsp <% %>
    EXAMPLE:
    <sql:query var="variable">
    </sql:query>
    <% what can i do to access to "variable" here????????? %>
    i need to save in session (session.setAttribute(...)) a field of the response of the query saved in "variable"
    i need help!!!!, thanks!!!!!!!!

    i need to save in session (session.setAttribute(...)) a field of the response of the query saved in "variable"Why do you need java code to do this? If you are using JSTL sql tags, then why not keep using JSTL tags?
    <c:set var="valueToSave" value="${variable.field}" scope="session"/>EL variables are actually already stored as attributes in scope.
    So to get hold of "variable" you could use <%= pageContext.findAttribute("variable") %>
    and that would give you the object stored by the EL.
    cheers,

  • Is it possible to include JSF into JSP-Servlet application?

    I have an existing JSP-servlet application. I am wondering if it is OK to add new pages to this application in form of JSF?
    Thanks

    Just learn JSF and it will all be clear.
    They can perfectly co-exist and you can perfectly link or redirect from one to other (plain GET requests), you can perfectly share the same session and application scoped attributes, but for POST requests (forms submits) from JSP to JSF or vice verse you just need to understand how the one handles/expects the request parameters and that kind of stuff.

  • Retrieving lists from other layer into a JSP page - Design Question

    Hi all,
    What should be a good design technique in order to allow a JSP page to present some list obtained from other layer of my application. I intend to leave only presentation logic in the JSP layer, while all data access will be in other layer.
    For example, I have a JSP page that will show the results of a SQL query originated from an entry form in other JSP page. Let's name them 'search.jsp' and 'result.jsp'
    I want that all JDBC access be done in some other layer.
    Question 1:
    What would be better for this task? A servlet or a bean? (A bean, I suppose?)
    Then this bean (?) would have to find some way to pass all the result set into this 'result.jsp'. I think it would be very poor design if I used some Data Object, because it would have to store all rows and pass them at once.
    I don't want, either, that the presentation (JSP) layer access directly the data access layer (JDBC, files...). This way, I don't want any JSP page accessing the Resultset object directly.
    Question 2:
    What do you think could be a good design technique?
    I thought of some intermediate layer that provided data objects and data access interfaces. I mean, as my data will come from different sources, like some database (JDBC), some Electronic Document Manager, I thought of having a common access interface, that would provide methods for accessing the resultsets. This could be even a java.util.Enumeration that has a hasMoreElements() method that could be implemented as the next() method from JDBC result sets and the nextElement() method that would actually bring the next row of data.
    This way the JSP layer would see only hasMoreElements() and nextElement() methods from the middle layer. On the other hand, the data layer would provide as many different implementations to this access interface (Enumeration?) as there were data sources (JDBC, Files, ...)
    Question 3:
    What do you think of this design?
    Question 4:
    Is there any flaw in my approach? Which?
    Question 5:
    Could you suggest other designs?
    I really thank you all, for any kind of answer. I actually use this design for development, however I've never seriously discussed it with someone... this is going to be of great value for me.
    Regards,
    Filipe Fedalto

    Well I saw you question and I'll tell you what I do.
    I have JSP's which post form data to servlets.
    The servlet then calls a factory to produce a ResultContainer (analagous to your lists) which is generated
    via JDBC, and/or request parameters etc...
    this provides a single point of reference and a "group" of containers (functions really) that can be produced and reused (same container different amount of data)
    I also have other static classes which can manipulate the data in the containers
    (such as add additional info to the items in the containers) before I forward the container (request attribute)
    to the JSP page
    Additionally I use Type safe constants for all my HTML form tag names (easier to change and ensure the same name is used everywhere when reading parameters) and again for item statuses
    and any other info I need to send along with the page (using Javascript to update the
    status to another type safe constant).
    I've found that using factories for ResultContainers is very worthwhile and allows you to implement additional servlets extremely quickly (mostly reusing containers that exist) and since the
    container is the same for all my JSPs (this may not be the case with you) I can implement JSP's
    very quickly as well (just change the view)
    btw I refrain from calling my ResultContainer a bean because it is not serializable
    I don't know if this will help but at least it gives me a forum to test my ideas
    Thanks

  • Changing Search JSPs within Commerce Server

              Hi
              I am currently evaluating the Commerce Server and Personalisation Server 3.5 and
              I am trying to change the search.jsp within the Commerce server to include drop
              down lists for a more presentable search engine.
              I have tried to change the search.jsp to include drop down lists but I am running
              into problems when giving the drop down lists a name because the previous textfield
              that was there had a field dynamically named HttpRequestConstants.CATALOG_SEACH_STRING
              which is one of the HttpRequestConstants constant variables that holds the search
              criteria.
              How can I therefor transfer the selected item within the drop down lists to the
              HttpRequestConstants.CATALOG_SEACH_STRING?
              Any help would be appreciated. Here is part of the code I am referring to
              Any help would be appreciated

    The Javascript is returned inside the page, just as if it were a static
              .html file that you had put Javascript into. Thus it works entirely on the
              client. The client is unaware of whether a JSP engine put the page together
              or whether it is was just a static HTML file.

  • Login problem after locking Mac overnight

    We have a number of Mac users who are experiencing a similar login problem and we're at a loss to understand why. We are having the same issue on MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and iMac. Most are using 10.5.6, a few earlier versions. Most have the lastest updates, a couple don't. Each has different energy saving settings as well. So, the issue seems to affect different computer conditions. Also, one user has reset the SMC, but that doesn't work for the Mac Pros, so that's probably not the issue. Below is the original email I got from a user so you can see exactly what is happening.
    "I lock my screen when the screensaver is enabled and it works perfectly except when I leave the system locked for a day or more. After being locked for a long period of time it takes a very long time to unlock. For example, I leave at 3PM on Friday afternoon and lock the machine. When I arrive at 8AM on Monday morning it always takes 5-10 minutes unlock the machine. I enter my password and it appears to be attempting to check the password but it just sits there until it eventually fails and says “Please try again.” My password is still entered so I just click “Okay” and it logs me in instantly."
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

    Thanks for the reply. In answer to your question though about shutting down, the users sometimes need to remote into their computer, so shutting down is not really an option.
    How do I view the console logs?
    In the utilities directory, run console.app
    You can search by date or look at the various logs - error logs, normal logs, etc.
    If I do find that one or more applications are causing a problem, is it then just a matter of sutting them down before logging off? It is just kind of unusual in my opinion that this is affecting so many users running so many variations of software, computers, etc.
    It may be one app thta is common to all the computers. If an app is not properly written, it may cause a problem if it is forced to shutdown from an external program. When a computer shuts down, there is a signal sent out but unless the app responds to it properly, the app may essentially undergo an unexpected forced shutdown and when restarted need to recover.
    Also, if for some reason the Leopard filesystem is flagged as not being properly shutdown, it may run an fsck upon boot, which takes some time, or it may simply copy journaled data which is faster but also make the restart appear slow. These items should show up in the console logs.

  • Problem in my Select query

    Hi Experts,
    I need a clarification in my Select query.
    Have created a custom search help and my requirement is I have Request ID, Last and First Name as my search parameters. I need to fetch the values from my Ztable on search with the above said search parameters, where its workflow status = 30.
       * Get Request ID
      lv_pattern = <ls_query_params>-request_id.
      IF lv_pattern CA '*'.
        REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_pattern WITH '%'.
      ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern CA '*'
      IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL.
        lv_pattern = '%'.
      ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL
    ** Get NACHN - Lastname
        lv_last_name = <ls_query_params>-nachn.
        IF lv_last_name CA '*'.
          REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_last_name WITH '%'.
        ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern CA '*'
        IF lv_last_name IS INITIAL.
          lv_last_name = '%'.
        ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL
    ** Get VORNA - First Name
        lv_first_name = <ls_query_params>-vorna.
        IF lv_first_name CA '*'.
          REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_first_name WITH '%'.
        ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern CA '*'
        IF lv_first_name IS INITIAL.
          lv_first_name = '%'.
        ENDIF. " IF lv_pattern IS INITIAL
    *Selecting the RequestID/Last and First Name values with workflow status as 30.
    SELECT zzreq_id " Internal number for appropriation request
                nachn
               vorna
      INTO TABLE lt_select_list
      FROM ZTABLE
      WHERE (  ( zzreq_id LIKE lv_pattern ) and
                     ( nachn like lv_last_name ) or
                      ( vorna LIKE lv_first_name ) )
           AND zzstatus = lv_workflow_status.
    My problem is, ofcourse this query is selecting all the records where status = 30 and even it works correctly, If I searches with Request ID(* or *3*).
    But am not able to select the records, if I searches with Last or First Name. Guess I did some thing wrong in select query.
    Please advice me.
    With Regards,
    Ram.

    Hi Ramakrishnan,
                         Can you just try the below Select Query,
    SELECT zzreq_id
                nachn
               vorna
      INTO TABLE lt_select_list
      FROM ZTABLE
      WHERE ( zzreq_id     LIKE    lv_pattern                and
                         nachn         LIKE    lv_last_name         and
                         vorna          LIKE     lv_first_name )    and
                          zzstatus = lv_workflow_status.
    Cheers,
    Krishnakumar B.
    I think the above suggested query is same as your solution.

  • Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application

    Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application on a same machine.
    How to solve this problem?
    Windows 7 Professional.

    Or it could be patially related to typical pains when a company makes an enormous transition like this. Ironcially, just as i said in my post, my issue resolved the next day.
    Listen, I undertstand the concern and certainly the frustration. I spend nothing short of 14 hours per day with Adobe apps open. primarily After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I know the hassle and I know the frustration of constantly having to sign back in, which i did for a bit too. But it's just a little melodramatic when people make idle threats they aren't going to follow through with anyway, about using a product that does what this does, and is such an enormous productivity tool that people say silly things. that's what I'm referring to. If you're going to choose an entire platform different than Adobe becuase theyr'e having issues on a brand new method of service and delivery you're an idiot anyway. Wouldn't you agree that the statements of ' i don't have time to test something' are a litle ridiculous? name any product, or purchase in any part of your life that has never failed at anything? and then saying thigns like it's suddenly an unstable environment, when the problem they're complaining about (and the complaint of course it legitimate) has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the product?
    it's the overblown, silly statements that make people look foolish, do nothing to help the issue, and offer nothing that crack me up. When I read someone saying things like that i pretty much ignore anything else they say because reason isn't something they are using at that point anyway.
    See what you said? that has nothing to do with anyone I'm talking about. You made a valid point, didn't make silly comments like what I'm referring to. you said something I don't agree with, but you dind't go overboard and get all dramatic about it. I don't agree that it's an ongoing degredation of their rep. there is nobody even remotely close a valid competitor out there for this in the first place (depending on what software yoiu're referring to, but since we're in the CC forum i assume that's what you mean). The fact is, their reputation is so strong, no other software company can even compete. But even so I still see progress and innovation. Intel had a cushion with no competitor at one point, then AMD came in, and if you notice, within a couple years of AMD getting very popular, Intel started releasing their upgraded technology in less than a third of the time. But I don't think I see that laziness from Adobe. I don't honestly know that the reason is they moved to a subscription based environment but I know that almost all big software companies are at leasdt considering it. heck Microsoft was talking about changing their licensing and doing it the same way. And it's not for greed I'd guess, it's to comabt theft. At least that's my guess, i have no idea, but i don't believethat it's done and they would change their entire business model for a reason lefss important.
    While we're on that topic I'd like to point out i bet this new process makes an enormous dent in the piracy, at least short term, so for me I applaud it. because when so many people steal the software, it means people like me, and i assume you, pay much higher prices for our legit licenses. So anything that can be done to thwart that has my full approval. But it also just happens to have some nice benefits, in that the pricing is pretty ridiculously low IMO for the entire suite of apps for 50 bucks per month. let' be honest, anyone using them for business which is primarily what this softwre is geared to, understands that while it might seem high, it's tiny compared to the montly cost of doing business, to keep an up to date, suite full of apps that would cost thousands were it not for the subscription. I'll admit, I bought the full suite on the montly just because it made sense. And it actually paid off. Recently I had a client that desperately needed ihs forms migrated to interactive. they were word docs, excel and plain pdfs, but because I happen to have a license for Acrobat, i was able to import those into pdf files and convert them to interactive forms. Then recommend he use the online service to manage them, and frankly it paid for 6 months of licensing for 10 hours work. were it not for the subscription based licensing i'd not have even been able to offer the service because I wouldn't have paid for acrobat.
    Complaining about a piece of software you buy that doesn't work in an area, regardless of where it is, makes perfect sense. But the statements I'm referring to equate to someone buying a house, finding out the key doesn't work, or the doorknob is broke, throwing their hands up and saying 'i'm finding anohter house'. it's silly, and everyone knows there's no merit to it. But i get frustrated seeing it over and over, frewquently by people that hven't even paid for the software. Sometimes I post thing I shouldn't but hey, don't we all?
    I like to browse these forums becuse I'd say i've learned as much of my knowledge by reading tricks, tips and resolutions posted in forums as I did through my classes and education. That's possibly an overstatement but not by much. I do get just as frustrated at the people constantly trying to belitte the company as they do with their issues.
