Move env-entry from web.xml into deployment plan

I have:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>USERNAME</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>someUser</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
and I'd like to move it from web.xml into my_app_plan.dat. Is it possible? How?
Thank you in advance!

Let me describe my case in few more words...
I have some kind of client-server app. Clients have OC4J installed and they download myApp.ear and myApp_plan.dat files and by using script (Windows CMD batch file) clients install those files with admin_client.jar, OC4J's admin utility. The problem is that I have 2 different types of clients and I have client specific settings set in web.xml file and each time I compile myApp.ear I have to uncomment/comment some lines in web.xml.
So, to make a long story short, I need a way to deploy those settings separated from (outside of) myApp.ear. By following you link, I have read that orion-web.xml should reside inside WEB-INF folder of myApp.ear, which is not good for me.

Env-entry from web.xml not in generated plan.xml

Hello,
Recently I migrated a JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 project to 11.1.1.3 and from there to 11.1.2.4. When I deploy this project to an 10.3.5. weblogic server then the 'env-entry' entires in the web.xml are not available on the application server.
Even when i use weblogic.PlanGenerator with the -all option to create a plan.xml from the WAR-file the env-enties are not found.
The web.xml is like this:

Admin UI for editing environment entries (i.e. env-entry in web.xml)

Hi there,
just wanted to know if Weblogic nowadays features a UI for post-deployment editing of environment entries such as the ones declared via <env-entry> in web.xml ( [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13712/web_xml.htm#autoId30] ). So far, I'm using a deployment plan to re-configure these things at the time of each deployment, which works but which is also probably not the most flexible solution.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Ah, I was trying to do a lookup from session bean for the env-entry defined in
the web.xml. After reading the J2EE spec, I see this just won't work. env-entries
are only accessible from within the component where they are defined.
Still the error message with "comp.env" instead of the expected "comp/env" is
a bit confusing.
Not much traffic in this newsgroup, is there?

If I create an "env-entry" block for a name (e.g. "MySchemaName") in

with the line:
<br>
myInitialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/MySchemaName");
<br>
However when I do that I get the error message:
<br>
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'java:comp.env/MySchemaName'

Note that the "comp/env" prefix has been changed to "comp.env". This
worked under
WL 6.1. Is this a bug in WL 7's JNDI or a bug in the error message or
both or
something else altogether?
The immediately previous line successfully performs an EJBHome lookup
using the
same Initial Context object. The main difference is that the EJBHome
name is defined
thru the EJB deployment descriptors, not the web.xml.

Validation error when using env-entry in web.xml

I've added an env-entry element to my web.xml and it falls over at deploy time with a validation error. However, from what I can see, this is valid based on the schema.
And infact, it matches the example in the weblogic doco - http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/webapp/web_xml.html#wp1025195

Env-entry in web.xml and 6.0 sp4

Does anyone know if iws 6.0 sp4 supports env-entry elements in web.xml???
According to servlet specs 2.2 it should support it since it has JSP support.
From 2.3 specs:
"The following addtional elements exist in the web application deployment
descriptor to meet the requirements of web containers that are JSP enabled or part
of a J2EE application server. They are not required to be supported by containers
wishing to support only the servlet specification.:
� taglib
� syntax for looking up JNDI objects (env-entry, ejb-ref, ejb-local-ref, resourceref,
resource-env-ref)
See the DTD comments for further description of these elements."

Additional info...actually the code throws a NamingException.

Updated env-entries in web.xml

          We are using WLS 5.1 SP10.
          In a web-application we like to have some parameters (related to the webapp as
          a whole) which can easily be changed (without having to restart the server).
          What is the best way to do that?
          I was thinking of env-entries.
          But when I change them the web.xml is not reloaded and the changes have no affect.
          Is dynamic reload of web.xml possible under WLS5.1 SP10?
          When should env-entries be used, and when init-params?
          Init-params seems to be servlet(JSP) related, while the environment entries affect
          the web-app environment. Are there other elements to take in consideration?
          In the doc I found no real explanation of when to use what...
          Any help would be appreciated,
          Frederic

Hi,
these are only configurations and don't cause a harm or use resources. So I suggest to leave them in just in case yu need them later

Calling servlet with out entry in web.xml

Hi
I want to know whether can a servlet be invoked with out having an entry in web.xml.Because to my knowledge when ever an entry is made in teh web.xml the <url-pattern> and the class file will be stored as key value combination it is only then when ever a request is made the server gets the class taht is to be invoked from the <url-pattern> that is passed from the client side.
Is ther any way by whihc we can call the servlet directly with out an entry in web.xml
Thanks in advance
Ajithkumar.S

Interesting that it is possible on Tomcat anyway.
What's the real benefit of not having a Servlet
definied in web.xml?
The only benefit I see is that
you don't need to understand/read/change XML when
adding or removing a servlet. That isn't worth that
imho. What are the other benefits?The only thing I can think of is , to be able to quickly access a Servlet that you've just written, because it takes additional steps to define it in the web.xml.
I think it would be a security concern (of some sort) , if the Servlet's class is known, that's why it is better to access a Servlet with a mapping from web.xml

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Edit env-entry values from web.xml in the WLS console.

Hi guys!
Is it possible to define JNDI variables of type java.lang.String using WLS Console?
Thanks

I think this would require the use of a deployment plan, which you can learn about here: [http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/deployment/config.html] . This won't be as convenient as just editing the value directly in the admin console. In fact, it won't even prevent the requirement of redeploying the webapp. It will only allow you to make the change without rebuilding and repackaging the webapp.
It's questionable whether it's practical or meaningful to change env-entry values in a web.xml without redeployment, because even if you could change the values without redeploying, you'd have to reinitialize the servlet/filter with the changed environment parameter.
If you really need this dynamic reconfiguration ability, you might have to design the facility into your application, using some sort of polling or event handling capability.

Need help to set values from web.xml in a jsp class

Hey :-)
I`m trying to get value from my web.xml file into a jsp class. The problem is that the value always retur null. My web.xml file is replaced in the WEB-INF directory where should be. Here is my web.xml

public void doInitBody() throws JspException
html_test = config.getInitParameter("html_test");
}//End of method doInitBody()
public int doStartTag() throws JspException

How to delete the Webservice entry from Web service navigator?

Hi,
My current issue is that, developers have created many webserivces and these web services are visible in web service navigator that i access by following link
http://<host>:<port>/wsnavigator
But now we have to remove the unwanted webservices i.e. i want that unwanted webservices should not be visible to anyone when we access WSNAVIGATOR.
How should i go about it?
Am i required to undeploy the web services that is deployed from SDM GUI?
Please pour in your valuable inputs.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Ameya

I had to revove the entry from VA. Removing this entry also removes the web service from ws navigator.

Simplest way to modify properties from web.xml

I'm testing a very small Web application which uses init-params in web.xml for configuration. For manual testing purposes, I need to be able to change the values of these as easily as possible, preferably from the WebLogic admin console. (I can do it from the console on Websphere App Server, and on Tomcat by editing a file which is immediately re-read.) We don't currently use deployment descriptors in any way and this is only a test of basic code functionality, not of deployment mechanisms, so the change can be as quick-and-dirty as you like. I'm using WebLogic v10 on Linux.
Thanks,
Pete

Another option for you may be to deploy the application in exploded format and use weblogic.Deployer or WLST to redeploy the application :
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/deployment/autodeploy.html
This would be slightly more similar to your Tomcat deployment, but requires a few more steps.

Getting Email Value from web.xml and displaying in JSF

HI,
I have a web.xml with the entry:
<env-entry>
        <description>The email address for the Support Team.</description>
        <env-entry-name>support</env-entry-name>
        <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
        <env-entry-value>[email protected]</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>I want to display on the JSF the value *"[email protected]"*. I dont want to Hard Code the Email Id on the JSF hence I am looking for this solution.
One way would be to get the value of the email in a backing bean and then setting a managedBeanValue which will be accessed in the JSF Display page.
My question is how do I get the email value in my backing bean ?
Thanks in advance !!!

I tried using this code:
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ServletContext servletContext = (ServletContext)context.getExternalContext().getContext();
    String value = (String)(servletContext.getAttribute("support");But when I do a System Out on value I get null
Please Help.
Thanks in advance

Accessing env-entry from out side bean

Hi,
          I have my env-entry element declared in ejb-jar.xml like this
          <env-entry>
          <env-entry-name>ConfigFile</env-entry-name>
          <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
          <env-entry-value>centaur</env-entry-value>
          </env-entry>
          and if I access that value from the EJB(MDB) of that ejb-jar.xml, it is giving the right value. But when I am trying to retrieve the same from a java class, that is throwing exception "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'ConfigFile' Resolved ; remaining name 'ConfigFile'"
          I think this is because env-entry has access to only EJB or MDB to maintain security?
          or can env-entry elemenets cab be accessed outside the EJB and some thing I am doing wrong here?
          can some one help me here?

The java:comp/env namespace is local to the J2EE component (ie the EJB).
          You could certainly have a business method that returned the value and call the business method from a java class.
          Or your EJB could lookup the env-entry in JNDI and store it in another data structure.

I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive. I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music. I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad. How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
