Not going to Servlet from JSP

          Hi,
          I have written a program that takes the email id and password from a jsp page and posts it to a servlet. The servlet had to get the parameters from the jsp and pass this values to a method called loginvalidation which inturn has to connect to data source and return true if the record exists else false if it doesn't exist. Now my problem is that the control is not passed from the jsp to the servlet(name:Login). It throws an Illegal access exception. What can be the problem? Can u provide a solution for this.

The problem here is that your servlet doesn't implement doGet()
doing a response.sendRedirect sends a web page back to the client, which then tries to load the servlet.
It uses GET instead of POST because it is a standard URL link.
Solution: implement doGet() in your servlet, even if all it does is call doPost() to do the same thing.
You can also do a jsp:include, or jsp:forward to transfer control from a jsp to a servlet.
However you are working in HTML, and you may not be able to get away from using an HTML form.

Error in accessing servlet from JSP

Hello everybody,
When I access a servlet from a JSP page,I am getting the following error message :
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
I am using Weblogic 7.0 and my web.xml code is as follows:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
I am accessing the servlet from a javascript function in my JSP page.
I am quite new to the Java technology. So any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

The form action event is in a javascript function. I am sorry I mentioned that I am accessing this servlet from JSP. Actually,this servlet is accessed from an HTML document.
The following is the javascript code:
<script language="javascript">
function lfnCallNext()
     alert("In the function");
     frmMain.method="POST";
     frmMain.action="/TestServlet";
     frmMain.hidChoice.value="GetList";
     frmMain.submit();
</script>
And this function is called from an hyperlink as follows:

Cannot invoke servlet from JSP

I am trying to invoke a servlet from my JSP file. At present I am getting the error:
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource /servlet/CreateSPSS not found
at com.evermind[Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.2.0.2)].server.http.EvermindPageContext.forward
I understand that my JSP cannot find my servlet but I cannot identify what the correct path or amendment is.
My JSP file is located in:
default-web-app/examples/jsp/com.xml2spss.jsp
In the JSP my forward parameter is :
<jsp:forward page="/servlet/CreateSPSS" />
and my servlet (.java & .class) is located in
default-web-app/WEB-INF/classes/com/pmstation/spss/site/servlet.CreateSPSS.java
I have added the following line to Web.XML:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CreateSPSS</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/CreateSPSS</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Where am I going wrong??
Thankyou for any help at all on this one.

Shaun,
Nice to know that you find a way that works. However, what Zsolt suggests should work; otherwise, it is a bug. That is, put the servlet definition and servlet mapping in your web.xml and then you should be able to access http://host:port/myWebContext/servlet/CreateSPSS?myParmName=myParm without seeing a response like "No resource found". Please make sure that your servlet definition come before the corresponding servlet mapping.

Problem calling servlet from JSP

Hi All,
I am running Tomcat 4.1.31 + Apache 2.0.54 for a web app. I have a jsp in a folder in my context root that is calling a servlet. My web.xml looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <web-app>
<display-name>Web Application</display-name>
- 
- <servlet>
<servlet-name>Controller</servlet-name>
<description>Testing Servlets</description>
<servlet-class>servlets.Controller</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup />
</servlet>
- <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Controller</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Controller</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and my jsp is as below:
<form name="loginForm" id="loginForm" action="/Controller" method="post">
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="300">
<tr>
<td>User Id </td>
<td><input type="text" name="userid" size="20" maxlength="15"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>
<input type="password" name="passwd" size="20" maxlength="10"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="action" id="action" value="login"/>
</form>
However, this doesnt work at all. Whenever I hit the submit button I get a 404 File not Found error.
I have to give the entire url starting with the context root in the JSP for the servlet to work. Is that how it is supposed to work?? I was under the impression that once everything is defined correctly, Tomcat will figure out that the JSP and the servlet belong to the same app and get it from there.
Can anyone help me please???
Let me know if anything is not clear enough.
Thank you!
amrutaa

Actually this is just an example app ... but I am going to have other jsps that will call the controller servlet ..
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.
What stumps me is that the call to the servlet was working day before yesterday and yesterday it just wouldnt!
and I am sure I touched only the servlet in the meanwhile + restarted Apache as well as Tomcat.
Thanks again!

Very urgent: call servlet from JSP

Hello,
I'm facing a problem in invoking a servlet from a JSP having the JSF components.
The application has a text field to implement ajax for search functionality in the database .I have written a servlet to make the database connection and fire the querry.
Ajax implementation in a js file is called on every keyup event in the jsp file,and
a call is given to the servlet from the ajax methode.
The function in the js file is as follows:-
function getPersonByFirstNameXML( firstName ) {
    if (!firstName) {
        clearPersonByFirstNameXML();
    } else {
        var url = BASE_URL + "/servlet/get_PersonsXML";
        alert(url);
        return new AJAXRequest("post", url, "firstName=" + encode(firstName), processGetPersonByFirstNameXML);
}Im getting the myAJAX.status value as 500.
I think I'm not able to access the servlet properly.
what changes do i need to make in the we.xml file ?
and what should be the url to be passed.
Please provide me a sloution to the above problem as it is very urgent else if anybody is aware of a readymade JSF componet with search functionality freely available please let me know.
PS:
The sample application named RedirectionExample which makes use of a servlet and would be of help to you. You can find the tutorial on the following page:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/codesamples/sampleapps.html
is not available as stated in some of the suggestions by Author: mayagiri
Thanks for any help.
Abhi

the status 500 generally means either HTTP server internal error or that execution of CGI script or servlet aborted with error.
It can be reasonably supposed that the request reaches the servlet, ie. that "url" value points to some existing servlet, otherwise most probably the status value would be 404.
To test that the servlet is working i'd try to access it using some simple html page with form like this (with {BASE_URL} replaced by real value):
<form method=post action={BASE_URL}/servlet/get_PersonsXML>
<input type=text name=firstName>
<input type=Submit>
</form>

Import a servlet from JSP without the use of a .JAR

Migrating web app from NT / iPlanet 4.1 to Solaris / iPlanet 4.1.
I've created a Web app in which JSPs utilize Servlets stored in a JAR file. I am now moving the app to a server that I do not control. I wish to configure the app in such a way that I will be able to modify the servlets and not have to restart the Web server to see the changes. I assume the only way to do this is to remove them from the JAR file.
I'm familiar with how to package servlets in JAR files and use them in JSPs, but can't figure out how to import (my own) servlets from outside the JAR file. Is there any way to do this without specifying the servlet in the CLASSPATH?
...sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm not a Java programmer. Thanks in advance. Please let me know if I have not given enough detail.

What you are asking for is called 'hot deployment'. Not all servers do that.
Tomcat 4 does for instance, but you have to configure it for your specific webapp to be able to use it.
Hot deployment just reloads all the classes in its classpath, it doesn't matter if they're in jars or just .class

What should I take note when converting Servlets to JSPs files?

Hi Everyone,
I have a web application that currently runs using Servlets and JSP, but i intend to change every servlet file into JSP.
What should I take note?
Please advice and comment.
Thanks in advance

Ok, I can see your logic, but I don't agree with it.
It may SEEM like you'll save time, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't in the end.
So you don't have to restart the Tomcat server so much.
That still doesn't justify writing java code into a JSP.
Whatever you gain from not restarting the server you will lose 10 times over from stupid compile errors/typos that come from writing scriptlet code in a JSP.
Java code belongs in a java class, where you can take advantage of all of the assistance of the IDE for code completion, formatting, compiling, syntax checking etc.
Also if you write your code in classes, you can test them with Junit tests - something harder to do when your logic is embedded in JSPs
Write your java code where it is meant to be. In java classes. Beans/Servlets/whatever.
A JSP is for one purpose only - to produce an HTML page.
Just my 2 cents.

Referring to Servlet from JSP

          Hi, I created a new web project in my workshop application and also created the
          directory structure: WEB-INF/src/mypackage/ to store all the java classes related
          to servlets and beans of my web project. I have a jsp page with few form fields
          whose submit action should invoke a servlet stored in /src/mypackage. How do I
          refer to the servlet in the JSP page that gets invoked on submit action?? [ form
          tag removed <!--- form action="???/MyServlet" method="POST"> ]. I am not sure
          where all the java class files are stored when I build the application using workshop.
          Another question I have is whether the build application will automatically include
          all the required servlets and taglibs in the web.xml file or this has to be done
          explicitly using Weblogic Builder?
          Thanks...

Hi Folks,
I need set a servlet that produces an image output as source for an "img" tag in a jsp. I found several examples how this should be done with a simple webapp and these examples work right away in a simple tomcat environment.
But BEA Portals are not comparable with simple webapps in combination with tomcat. The URLs for example are rendered in a special way, for example:
http://localhost:7001/MyWebApp/My.portal?_nfpb=true&portlet_27_1_actionOverride=/portlets/Level1/aPortal/portalPage&portlet_27_1do_action=null
My Problem:
When I try to refer to my servlet like this
img src="/servlet/ImageRenderServlet"
The image is not rendered because the URL is not rendered. Even when I leave away the leading "/" of the servlet it becomes:
http://localhost:7001/MyWebApp/servlet/ImageRenderServlet
So whats the trick when referencing servlets from a jsp that belongs to a BEA Portlet?
Thanks for any Help!

WL10 generated servlets from jsp pages

hi!
I'm looking for .java servlet files automatically generated from JSP (Weblogic 10). Do anybony know where can I find this files?
Thanks in advace,
Bartek

Well, Servlet and JSP both are server side technologies and both can be used in web applications. You can write web pages using both servlet and JSP. In fact, your JSP pages are converted to Servlet by container while serving requests. However, writing a JSP page is relatively easier and requires minimal Java knowledge.
When you will develop real world java based web applications you will find that you are writing more JSP pages than servlet.
In a typical MVC (Model View Controller) architecture a single servlet is used as controller and JSP pages are used to generate web content.
