Aleem Basha,

What error message are you getting?
What Server are you using? Version?
What version of JSP are you using? 1.2 or 2.0?
What version of JSTL are you using? 1.0 or 1.1?
See [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=629437&tstart=0]this thread (reply #6) for version issues using JSTL in various servers.

What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?

          What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?
          I want to find a configuration file not contained within the war file I have
          created. Is there a way to pass information into the ServletContext with out
          rebuilding the ear or war files? Tomcat 4.0 can do this in its server configuration
          files. Does BEA have the equivalent?
          Regards,
          Eric


You can specify the path to the file as a system property
          eg
          java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp

How to run java servlet without using Web.xml?

How to run servlet without using Web.xml? From a book, I know that web.xml descriptor is optional, but the book doesn't tell us how to run java servelet without web.xm descriptor. So how to do that? Thanks a lot.

How to run servlet without using Web.xml?But Tomcat now uses a web.xml for its global server-wide configuration.
If you'd like to invoke a servlet with:
http://host/servlet/ServletName
you have to enable the invoker servlet.
[from an HTML]
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/servlet/HGrepSearchSJ">
[from resin.conf of Resin Web Server 2.1.12]

Define a context parameter not using web.xml

Dears,
With a web.xml file, it is possible to define a context parameter available in the web app via de ServetContext.getInitParameters method.
Is it possible to define a context parameter not using the web.xml file ? Can I, in a java Class, init a custom context parameter ? (for exampel, init as a context param a key/value pair read from a property file).
PS: the need is that the value (hmac key) currently define in the web.xml needs to be updated monthly. Apparently, under WebSphere (the app server we are using) changing the web.xml of the deployed app it not enought for it to be taken into account.
Sincerely,
Beno�t Bertrand

Is it possible to define a context parameter not
using the web.xml file ? Can I, in a java Class, init
a custom context parameter ? (for exampel, init as a
context param a key/value pair read from a property
file).Does it necessarily have to be a value retrieved through the context param ? AFAIK, there's no way you could programatically 'set' an init param, which going by the name, 'init param' is quite understandable.
You could define this value in a property file and read it in, in the init method. You should provide a mechanism to reload the new value after 'x' days. One approach is a Timer that does the job, do have a look at SteveJLuke's recommendations on the same in this thread

Export to Excel Problem external DC using Web Dynpro binary cache

Hallo,
I want to export from Web Dynpro to Excel. For this I study the Tutorial "Excel Export Using the Web Dynpro Binary Cache".
The example is running without a problem.
I have create a new DC only for excel export. The name is ExcelExportWD. In this DC I create a Component and programmed the methods of the example. Also I create the View and the Context for it.
This DC is used in other DCs. I put the Component to the public part. After than I make the entry in the used DCs in that DC which I want to use the Excel export. I use the DC ExcelExportWD in the DC ContactsWD.
The ContactsWD is running without a problem.
If I try now to export to Excel I got the following error.
<b>com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.api.WDDispatcherException: Requested deployable object 'mgi.de/portalscmContactsWD' and application 'ResultGetContacts.xls' are not deployed on the server. Please check the used URL.</b>
In the View of the ExcelExport the name of file is not visible in the URL of the ExcelFileName. The name "ResultGetContacts.xls" is the name of the node which I want to export.
What is wrong? I have try to set a Sharing reference in the ContactWD without success.
An idea ?
Regards
Gunter

Can you please advise me whether there is a problem in this?
Manisha

Please read the Servlet specification for details on how to specify url-patterns (see section 11.2). Your "index.*" is not a legal pattern. You can only end in "/*" or "*.foo". See Servlet spec.
If after fixing that you have more questions, please include the actual sequence of requests (and responses), preferably from a network snoop.

What is web.xml and why it is used?

hi,
am new to servlet technology, i tried to find a topic like this in this fourm also in google but didn't get a exact one. can anybody explain me or suggest me some resource about this.
thanx in advance.
Max

hi stevejluke,
thanx for the correct link.
nx for the correct link. but what i in doubt with is
why we should use web.xml? may be my question is very
silly, may be too basic, forgive me for that...
Thanx & Regards,
SaikatAt the most basic level:
There are several versions of the Servlet specification, You need the web.xml to tell the server which version of the spec your application conforms to so the server knows how to deal with different things.
If you have a servlet, you also need the web.xml to define what URL signals a request that should be handled by your servlet.
At this point, you need to sit down and read a book. Do what it says, blindly at first. Just do what it says (but do try to understand the 'what' of it, just don't question the 'why'). After you have a few applications running, go back and ask yourself this question again and try to see what you are using the web.xml for in those applications you have.

Setting up JNDI resources in web.xml only

Hi,
I'm using Tomca 4.0 LE and JDK 1.4.0_01.
I've been using a database connection pool on my local machine by editing the server.xml file and web.xml. However, I need to move the webapp onto a web hosting compaines server (same tomcat and jdk version). I cannot edit the server.xml file, so I need to set up my JNDI resource in web.xml only.
I have done this (in web.xml):
<resource-ref>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/ocb_clients</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
      <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref> Now, before when I had this all set up in web.xml, I had a list of <ResourceParams> within the <context> element:
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/ocb_clients">
    <parameter>
      <name>factory</name>
      <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
     <name>username</name>
     <value>username_here</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
     <name>password</name>
     <value>password_here</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
       <name>driverClassName</name>
       <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>url</name>
      <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ocb_clients</value>
    </parameter>
</ResourceParams>These parameters are obviously needed for the datasource to work. How can I set these up just using web.xml?
Also, this code is from a servlet that I have loading on tomcat startup. Will this still work with the new configuration?
public void init() throws ServletException
     DataSource ds = null;
     try
       //Set up the inital context
       Context ctx = new InitialContext();
       //Look up the database
       ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/ocb_clients");
     catch(NamingException nameE)
       System.err.println("Error looking up database: " + nameE);
     //Add the datasource to the application scope
     getServletContext().setAttribute("ocbDatabase", ds);
}Any help is greatly appricated,
Thanks, Mel.

Using an XML Bean in a WS Client app

We're experience problems trying to use a XML Bean returned to a Java application from a WebLogic Workshop Web Service. As a test case we decided to write a Java application that would use the CustomerDB_XMLBeanClient Web Service supported in the SamplesApp application. This Web Service supports a getAllCustomerNames method which returns an XCustomerDocument object generated from an XML Bean. Invoking this method from the WS test page returns three (3) names. We then created a Java Proxy for this WS to import into our client application. This proxy has different method signatures than the WS. The equivalent getAllCustomerNames method returns an XCustomer object. The return object only has one name, the last one. The java proxy jar file does not have any of the XML Bean classes associated with this Web Service, nor can we find any methods that allow us to iterate through the multiple rows returned in an XCustomer object. So far all of the Java client examples that we've looked at utilize an XML Bean's Document Factory class to instantiate an XML Bean. Do we need to import the XML Bean classes in addition to the Java proxy jar? Can anyone provide us with a working example of a Java client application that receives an XML Bean return object from a Web Service? Thanks.

The answer:
emoticons.put("<3", ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("images"+File.separator+"heart.gif").toString());// <3The above solution worked for me when i put the images folder in the default package.
And to present the file in an image on JEditorPane:
if(msg.contains("<3")){ // alternately iterate key elements in map
msg.replaceAll("<3","<img src=\""+emoticons.get("<3")+"\">");
}This was the only problem I had and it has now been solved!
If you have any problems with the same thing, post a message and we'll figure it out.

Servlet configuration in Weblogic 5.1.. web.xml vs weblogic.properties..

Can someone please tell me how the <servlet> entry differs from
          weblogic.httpd.register.snoop=examples.servlets.SnoopServlet
          in weblogic properties?
          Do these perform identical functions?


Yes this is the source of my confusiong. It seems to be that WL can be told
          about servlets
          two ways. Firstly through the web.xml file and also via weblogic.properties.
          I don't understand
          why the second one exists.

We are not using OC4J. We are using apache for our application. We are placed our web.xml in Web-inf folder. But we are unable to get parameters or other functionality using web.xml. Can you tell me how to handle web.xml in this case.
Thanks
Sudha

Missing application web.xml

hi,
tomcat loads my application but then does not recognise the web.xml file i have placed in WEB-INF folder of my application, resulting in:
missing application web.xml, using defaults only.
can anyone tell me how to go about resolving this.
Cheers,
dswill

If you are using the application which uses web.xml data then if your application is getting loaded then that means that it is using your web.xml.
But you r saying that it is using some defaults. so please check whether there is some comments continued and not allowed to using your tags.ie., whether our code is commented.
