Running server side methods prior to applet launch

Hi all,
I have recently become involved in the JSP world. My question is this:
How can I get a server-side process to run prior to the launcing/running of an applet that must also be present on the page? Is there a way to force an order of execution within a JSP?
Due to the nature of the code, it is impossible for me to create a secondary page that runs the server side process prior to being redirected to a page containing the applet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks from a newbie!

Hey there,
Yes, it did help, however, I realized that a redirection of the action to another URL (jsp) instead of the assigned action class would allow me to manage the auditing I needed to do.
Thanks for the response!

Server side database access with Applets?

Does anyone know how to do this without any JDBC or any other expensive, server heavy and special requirements?
Who could be interested in this?
Am i the only one?
Most internet hosts, rented i mean, do not give many possibilities you have PHP and not much more to access a MySql or other database engine.
If you want to build an aplication, a decent one, you must use java Applet because server side Java is not very interesting and is very expensive.

Personally, I think server-side Java is very interesting and would disagree that a decent web application necessarily requires applets.
I use Supplehost for their reliable and inexpensive Java hosting service.
Many sites and applications make use of cross-browser DHTML and Java server technologies (JSP and servlets) are ideal for building and delivering data-driven DHTML pages.
Of course applets have their advantages but, without a server providing access to data in a database, they're effectively working just as a static web page.
There are other interfaces to databases: for example, Microsoft SQL Server provides the means to interrogate SQL databases through the underlying web server and to have the results returned in XML format.
For me, J2EE provides the best tools for developing data-driven applications and the question over which client should do the presenting is more often one of how best to cater for the intended audience: cross-browser DHTML is best in some circumstances, applets in others, Macromedia Flash in others.
Check out Supplehost's site: you get SSH and secure FTP access to a shared server, can install and run servlets and JSP applications and upload, configure and restart your applications very easily:

How to implement server side methods in client side player from main.asc?

Can anyone please help me ot solve this issue?
Best regards,

javascript are run on the client side.. but i think what you actually mean is getting some validation to your database without submitting the form?. yes it doesn't consumes time and memory of server.. why not use ajax so you can only submit a little request.. rather than submitting the whole page..

Designer 8 pdf not running server side

Hi there
Forms I have built using Designer 8.0 and deployed on a W2K server work fine if the Client has the same name DSN and can connect to the same backend database otherwise the pdf loads in the browser but fails to populate the fields.
The JavaScript that is used to make the connection and call the data is set to run on both client and server.
Am I missing something? Should Designer 8.0 also be installed on the server as well as the 'build' machine (these are all .NET 2.0 Applications)?
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be most appreciated!

Yoda
I'm still trying to get an answer from Adobe about LiveCycle Forms.
To be honest I've not tried using pdf forms for inserting or updating, only to populate - like insurance report forms - based on data already held.
Used to use APToolkit with asp, but that is involved coding. The downside to LiveCycle is it won't support POST so SELECT WHERE critera has to be via the address bar!
If I get any answers I'll let you know! Just before 8.0 came out I did actually get a call from Adobe sales and they assured me if I upgraded LiveCycle would work fine server side (and I wouldn't need and other 'additions'), but.....

RUN SERVER SIDE OS COMMAND OR ANY EXECUTABLE FILE FROM CLIENT

Would you provide a complete example regarding execution Server side OS command or program from ORACLE SQL CLIENT OR FORM. This client may be a remote client.

instead of just copying jvm.dll, I would recommend installing Java through the installer as there are most likely other files that jvm.dll is dependent on, etc.
It's been a while since I have worked with HAL integrations (Vignette), but I believe you will need HFM client installed on the end user machine.
If you have a lot of machines, this could be a bit annoying. Because of that when we used HAL, we made a custom web front-end that ran on a server with the HAL programs. It was more work to build the web U/I; however, from a management perspective, it was a lot easier to control/maintain.

Run a procedure server-side?

hi all,
how do i execute a procedure (which takes a very long time to run) server-side? since this procedures takes a long time, i want it to continuously run and finish even if i close and shutdown the client machine that invoked it.
thanks
allen

hi,
thanks for the replies.
actually this is kinda like an end of day or end of month procedure so naturally it would take a long time which is understandable.
i'll check out the job option. although if there are still some other options, i'm willing to listen.
thanks.

Opening a modal panel depending on a server-side decision. How?

Hi,
Short version: How can you conditionally open a Richfaces modal panel (or, for that matter, perform any other action) on the client, depending on the (boolean) outcome of a server-side method?
Long version: I have a form which, among others, contains an address, which needs to be checked against a geo database, in order for the coordinates (latitude/longitude) of that address to be added. Now the thing is, if there is no 100% match (e.g. due to a misspelling or if there are many names for the same town) only the zip codes are matched, and there are zip codes that cover many towns or small villages. In that case, I'd like to popup a modal panel with all the towns/villages with that zip code, so that the user can choose the one that is actually meant. If there is a single exact match (or if the address was not changed at all -- there is also other data on the form) then nothing should popup and the form data just saved as usually.
What I've tried so far is to bind the submit button to an action method that checks the address and if it's all OK saves the form data to the DB and sets a bean property to false (meaning "no popup"). If there are multiple choices for the address, then the bean does nothing but set the bean property to true (do popup) and return. Then on the client, the modal panel's rendered attribute is bound to that boolean property, so that it is rendered or not as appropriate. Finally, the submit button (which is an <a4j:commandButon>) is set to reRender the modal panel on completion of the submit request, so that the bean property is re-evaluated.
On theory, this should work. (Or am I missing something?) However, the modal panel just does not pop up, no matter what I do (the business logic itself with saving and matching and stuff works fine). Are there any other ideas about how this behavior could be achieved? Am I missing some point?
Any comments or ideas are appreciated!
Greetings,
Mike

you can use this:
<a4j:commandButton data="#{mybean.mybool}"
                   oncomplete=" if (data == true) {
                                   #{rich:component('mymodalpanel')}.show()
                                } else {
                                   return false;
                                }" />

Copy and paste images in server side folder

Hi ,
I want to copy & paste the images in server side folder .
Have you any idea than please send me.
Thanks.
Have a nice day

Client side: Reading/Sending file contents
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filePath+"\\"+fileName);
int size = in.available();
byte data[] = new byte[size];
in.read(data,0,size);
in.close();
//calling remote method for sending file
uploadFile(fileName,data);
Server side method
public boolean uploadFile(String fileName,byte []data) throws IOException, ServerNotActiveException {
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
        out.write(data);
     out.close();

Server-side flash player version detection

Does anyone know of a method to pull the users flash-player
version number (the entire thing, not just
">6" or "9" but
"9,0,115,0") that does not use browserhawk. We
are building a troubleshooting page for our LMS built on ASP.net,
and do not want to use javascript, or vbscript to pull the version
number. We can use a javascript method if absolutely necessary, but
want to explore any server-side methods we can use first. We don't
want to use browserhawk as it is wholly too expensive for our
purposes.

I have done that temporarily, but we were hoping to do this
without placing a Flash SWF on the page. We are building a
troubleshooting page, and want to keep as many variables out of the
calculations as we can. IE, if Javascript is the issue, then a
Javascript to tell us the Flash version would be a bad idea. If
Flash is the issue, then a flash element would be a bad idea. If we
keep all of the calculations on the server-side, and not on the
client-side, then we know that nothing of the clients is messing
with the information displayed.

Where is the database of "server side" sync items?

Server 10.5.6 clients 10.5.5
Problem: Server side file tracking for Mobile Home sync is on. Files are not syncing reliably. Desktop items don't make it back to the network home and other similar issues. The clients get several errors stating that there was a problem syncing one file or another and to contact the admin if it continues.
Turn off Server side tracking. Files sync runs as one would expect, all files sync correctly with no errors.
We use two off site subnets connected via site to site VPN. Sync now takes 10 minutes at those locations.
Turn Server side tracking back on, assuming it might recreate the database automatically. Problems come back.
Needed: How to delete the current presumably corrupt database on the server so that we can run server side tracking again?
Thanks
-Erich

See
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Client-management/2008/Nov/msg00075.html
As well, you might wish to hold off on updating your clients to 10.5.6 if you can, some have reported PHD syncing reliability issues.

Link only with client side method for ImageArea

Hi,
I wanted to made an ImageMap and on each ImageArea set Link ONLY with client side method. But it doesnt work, no method is called. (in html is rendered only onClick="return false;"). When i tried to set some server side method it is working(server method is called). Is this righ behavior?
If it is how should code for calling only client side method look like?(now i am writing that map into html by myself, but it is not nice solution ).
And next question related to this, where is defined relationship betwenn htmlb components and java classes rendering them? i wanted to look in implemenattion of imagemap and change it for my purposes but i dont know how.
thanks
JJ

I had also some problems with the ImageMap.
I ended up by using the "HTML-way"
<map name="Innen">
<area shape="rect" coords="460,46,494,365" href="#" title="W7" alt="W7" onclick='alert("Nicht belegt")'>
<area shape="rect" coords="429,92,457,365" href="#" title="W3" alt="W3" onclick='alert("Nicht belegt")'>
</map>

ADF server-side state saving method

Hi all,
As far as I know, ADF has three view state saving methods.
1. client - tokens
2. client - all
3. server
My question is about server-side state saving.
If I set state saving methos "server" in web.xml, view state is stored in session scope as LRU map.
And the size of the map can be configured with below parameters in web.xml.
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.numberOfViewsInSession</param-name>
<param-value>10</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.numberOfLogicalViews</param-name>
<param-value>5</param-value>
</context-param>
However I think these parameters is offered by Mojarra (Sun's JSF RI) and any ADF guides don't mention them.
These parameters are supported in ADF?
Regards,
Atsushi

Hi,
don't have a support statement for this but would be surprised if we don't as ADF Faces runs on top of the JSF RI.
However, I am wondering why your customer prefers state saving being handled on the server as it doesn't allow fail over for your application setup. Also it is the recommended option
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/web.1111/b31973/ap_config.htm#CEGECDJF
+"Context parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD: Specifies where to store the application's view state. By default this value is server, which stores the application's view state on the server. *It is recommended that you set javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client* when you use ADF Faces, to store the view state on the browser client. When set to client, ADF Faces then automatically uses token-based, client-side state saving. *You can specify the number of tokens to use instead of using the default number of 15*.+
+You can specify the following state-saving context parameters:+
+org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CLIENT_STATE_METHOD: Specifies the type of client-side state saving to use when client-side state saving is enabled by using javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD. The values for CLIENT_STATE_METHOD are:+
+token: (Default) Stores the page state in the session, but persists a token to the client. The simple token, which identifies a block of state stored back on the HttpSession object, is stored on the client. This enables ADF Faces to disambiguate the same page appearing multiple times. Failover is supported.+
+all: Stores all state information on the client in a (potentially large) hidden form field. It is useful for developers who do not want to use HttpSession.+
+*Performance Tip:*+
+Because of the potential size of storing all state information, it is recommended that you set client-state saving to token.+
+*org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CLIENT_STATE_MAX_TOKENS*: Specifies how many tokens should be stored at any one time per user, when token-based client-side state saving is enabled. The default is 15. When the number of tokens is exceeded, the state is lost for the least recently viewed pages, which affects users who actively use the Back button or who have multiple windows opened at the same time. If you are building HTML applications that rely heavily on frames, you would want to increase this value.+
+*org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.COMPRESS_VIEW_STATE*: Specifies whether or not to globally compress state saving on the session. Each user session can have multiple pageState objects that heavily consume live memory and thereby impact performance. This overhead can become a much bigger issue in clustering when session replication occurs. The default is off.+
+org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.USE_APPLICATION_VIEW_CACHE: Enables the Application View Cache (AVC), which can improve scalability by caching the state for the initial renders of the page's UI at an application scope. However, every page in the application must by analyzed for support in the AVC to avoid potential problems with debugging in an unexpected state and information leakage between users. Additionally, development is more difficult since page updates are not noticed until the server is restarted, and although initial render performance is enhanced, session size is not.+
+*CAUTION:*+
+The Application View Cache is not supported for this release. The feature does not work for any page where the rendering of the component tree causes the structure of the component tree to change temporarily. Since this is often the case, USE_APPLICATION_VIEW_CACHE should not be used."+
So unless your customer has a good reason for server side state I would suggest him/her to go with best practices

From server-side application, launch client-side file?

Are either of these possible?
From a word document hosted by terminal server and accessed via SGD: user clicks on a hyperlink to C:\file.doc and it launches that file on the user's computer using that user's copy of MS word (rather than on the app server)?
From a document management system hosted by terminal server and accessed via SGD: The system stores the file path of documents on the user's local area network. When the user wants to launch a file, he clicks on a button and that launches the file on his local area network using his local copy of MS word (just a thought: would involve passing the path from the app server to SGD server then to the local computer. Maybe via the tcc client?)
Am thinking of several applications of this kind of thing, these are just 2 examples. Would really help us build server-side apps that run as if they are local (and would definitely up our license count of SGD). Thank you
