Sending long XML strings from a servlet

Hi,
I'm trying to send a long (16K) XML string from a Java servlet to a
MSXML2.XMLHTTP40 client. The client doesn't receive any data when the
string is longer than about 2K .
I am using the POST method.
I have tried increasing the buffer size on the sending side with
HttpServletResponse.setBufferSize() - this had no effect.
Any ideas ?
Thanks very much for your help,
Rod

Looks like the problem is on the client side (MSXML) because I can flawlessly send half-megs XML files from a Servlet to a browser or a java.net.URL

Returning XML String From Servlet

          Is there a simple way to disable the HTML character escaping when returning
          a string from a servlet. The returned string contains well formed XML, and
          I don't want the tags converted to > and < meta characters in the
          HTTP reply.
          The code is basically "hello world", version 7.0 SP2.
          Thanks

          Radha,
          We have a client/server package which speaks SOAP over a
          streaming HTTP channel for which we are writing a WebLogic
          servlet. For reasons of efficiency, we want to deserialize
          only the very top-level tags of the messages as they pass
          through the servlet. Yes, in theory, we should probably
          deserialize and validate the entire message contents...
          When we add support for other clients, we will fully
          deserialize inside those servlets.
          I have not looked any further into how to stop the inner
          tags from being escaped yet -- it is an annoyance more than
          a disaster, since the client handle meta escapes.
          My current guess is to use ECMAScript mapping...

Trigger workflow by sending XML-Message from a servlet

Hi Developers,
I am currently evaluating WLPI and followed the tutorial provided by BEA. Now
I try to create a Workflow which is triggered by an XML-Message that is sent by
a servlet to WLPIs JMS. The 'Programming Client Applications' gave me a hint of
how to do it. But some parts are missing. Can you recommend a book or tutorial
which goes beyond the tutorial or give me a hint on that?

How to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD struct

how to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD structure.Could anyone send me a sample code for this.

You'll need to associate an XSLT transformation with your XSQL page that transforms the canonical result into your DTD-valid format.
For example, given an XSQL page like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl" ?>
<xsql:query max-rows="3" connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
select title,id,description,url,to_char(timestamp,'Mon DD') timestamp
from site_entry
order by id desc
</xsql:query>and an "rss.xsl" stylesheet that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" doctype-system="rss-0.91.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
<rss version="0.91">

How do I Display a string from a servlet into a JSP Page???? NEED HELP!!!!

Hi guys,
How do I Display a string from a servlet into a JSP Page...
Ive tried so many bloody things!.....
Simply.
I get text from JSP. The servlet does what ever it does to the string.
Now. Ive create sessions and bean things,.... how the hell do I display it in a text box... I can display on the screen.. but not in the text box.!!!
please help!!!

hmmm, I dont really like using JSP programming, u should be using JAVA..
the way to do it is:
Call and cast to the bean like this:
<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<% //cast to bean get request create object
userNameBean u= (userNameBean) request.getSession().getAttribute("userNameBean");
then... all you do is call it like this:
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="<%= u != null? u.getFirstName(): "" %>">
this is the real programmers way,,,

How to pass a string from a servlet to client side

hi,
i would like to generate a string from a servlet and pass it to the client side. the client will receive the string by using request.getParameter(). How should i implement this system? Could anybody give me some hint?
Best Regards,
Henry

Greetings,
hi,
i would like to generate a string from a servlet and
pass it to the client side. the client will receive
the string by using request.getParameter(). HowAre you referring to the instance of (Http)ServletRequest the 'request' object being passed to the "client"? What is the "client" in this case? If you mean a "traditional" client communicating over (or by tunneling through...) HTTP then no can do. The (Http)ServletRequest object is generated by the web container (a.k.a. "servlet engine"), not by the client, and it is not serializable so there is no way to pass it back to the client...
should i implement this system? Could anybody give me
some hint?It depends again on "what is the 'client' in this case?"

How to get an XML string from a Java Bean without wrting to a file first ?

I know we can save a Java Bean to an XML file with XMLEncoder and then read it back with XMLDecoder.
But how can I get an XML string of a Java Bean without writing to a file first ?
For instance :
My_Class A_Class = new My_Class("a",1,2,"Z", ...);
String XML_String_Of_The_Class = an XML representation of A_Class ?
Of course I can save it to a file with XMLEncoder, and read it in using XMLDecoder, then delete the file, I wonder if it is possible to skip all that and get the XML string directly ?
Frank

I think so too, but I am trying to send the object to a servlet as shown below, since I don't know how to send an object to a servlet, I can only turn it into a string and reconstruct it back to an object on the server side after receiving it :
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
class Servlet_Message        // Send a message to an HTTP servlet. The protocol is a GET or POST request with a URLEncoded string holding the arguments sent as name=value pairs.
public static int GET=0;
public static int POST=1;
private URL servlet;
// the URL of the servlet to send messages to
public Servlet_Message(URL servlet) { this.servlet=servlet; }
public String sendMessage(Properties args) throws IOException { return sendMessage(args,POST); }
// Send the request. Return the input stream with the response if the request succeeds.
// @param args the arguments to send to the servlet
// @param method GET or POST
// @exception IOException if error sending request
// @return the response from the servlet to this message
public String sendMessage(Properties args,int method) throws IOException
    String Input_Line;
    StringBuffer Result_Buf=new StringBuffer();
    // Set this up any way you want -- POST can be used for all calls, but request headers
    // cannot be set in JDK 1.0.2 so the query string still must be used to pass arguments.
    if (method==GET)
      URL url=new URL(servlet.toExternalForm()+"?"+toEncodedString(args));
      BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
      while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
    else
      URLConnection conn=servlet.openConnection();
      conn.setDoInput(true);
      conn.setDoOutput(true);
      conn.setUseCaches(false);
      // Work around a Netscape bug
      conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
      // POST the request data (html form encoded)
      DataOutputStream out=new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
      if (args!=null && args.size()>0)
        out.writeBytes(toEncodedString(args));
//        System.out.println("ServletMessage args: "+args);
//        System.out.println("ServletMessage toEncString args: "+toEncodedString(args));
      BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
      while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
      out.flush();
      out.close(); // ESSENTIAL for this to work!
    return Result_Buf.toString();               // Read the POST response data
// Encode the arguments in the property set as a URL-encoded string. Multiple name=value pairs are separated by ampersands.
// @return the URLEncoded string with name=value pairs
public String toEncodedString(Properties args)
    StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
    if (args!=null)
      String sep="";
      Enumeration names=args.propertyNames();
      while (names.hasMoreElements())
        String name=(String)names.nextElement();
        try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-8")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-8")); }
//        try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-16")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-16")); }
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { System.out.println(e); }
        sep="&";
    return sb.toString();
}As shown above the servlet need to encode a string.
Now my question becomes :
<1> Is it possible to send an object to a servlet, if so how ? And at the receiving end how to get it back to an object ?
<2> If it can't be done, how can I be sure to encode the string in the right format to send it over to the servlet ?

Sending a formatted string to a servlet

I'm trying to send a string that contains some carriage returns to a servlet.
Right now what I'm doing is converting the contents of a file to bytes, then to a string. I write that string to a stream to the servlet.
But once I pull the string from the stream on the servlet, it looks like the formatting is lost.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!!!!
This is the code I'm using to convert the data to bytes, then string:
File file = new File(inputPath+"/"+dataFile);
                                  byte[] b = this.getBytesFromFile(file);
                                  String rap = new String(b);I then use this code to write to the stream:
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
                  out.write(rap);
                  out.flush();
                  out.close();This is the code I have on the servlet to get the data off the stream:
InputStream in = request.getInputStream();
      BufferedReader inStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
      String line;
      StringBuffer xmlStrBuf = new StringBuffer();
        while((line = inStream.readLine()) != null) {
          xmlStrBuf.append(line);
        String xml = xmlStrBuf.toString();
        out.println("Xml string:");
        out.println(xml);

Why use "getBytesFromFile" and then create a string with those bytes? Why not open the file with a FileReader?
What's the default character encoding on the client? What is it on the server?
What's in the Content-Type header? How about Content-Length?

Convert XML-String from Codepage utf-16 to ISO-8859-1

Hi to all experts,
our system is now unicode with codepage 4102 (UTF-16) and we do an Simple Transformation for creating an XML-String.

Darshan,
Did you get an answer for this question? We have same requirement to create XML file in ISO-8859-1 format with Attributes is set to "Y" and CDATA is being used for data.
Can you please let me know if you still remember how did you achieve it?

Handling long XML strings in XSLT

I am creating an XML string dynamically to feed to my XSLT processing servlet. In a prototype I did this by passing the XML as a string to a routing servlet that then calls HttpResponse.sendRedirect() with the name of the XSLT processing servlet and the XML string like this :
redirectString = "/WardenConfig/servlet/XSLTServlet?xslPage=" + nextPage + "&xmlSourceString=" + XMLData ;
where XMLData is the dynamically built XML and nextPage is an XSL stylesheet. Then I send use this to send it all to the servlet that processes the XSL and displays the result :
response.sendRedirect( redirectString );
The problem is that when I get a lot of data in the XML string this does not work. I think this might be because sendRedirect() uses the GET method but I am not sure. SO I had two questions :
1) Is that the problem - the GET method, I mean ?
2) What's a better way to do this ?
thanks in advance !!

Will do, Doctor. I appreciate your quick help ! Is that the way most people handle this ?
By the way, if you can tell me how to award Duke Dollars, I would like to do that. For some reason I can't do it anymore .. used to be able to ... feel lame ...
Thanks again.

XML string from Java

Hi
I have requirement in which i have a jsp that i use to get information from users. I need to convert the info to XML data into a String , whihc i later use to pass as messages using AQ.
I also have to, at a later point retreive the data from the XML String, update some information and recreate the XML string object with the new data.
I do not want to use the XML SQL Utility as this could provide too costly in terms of database hits .
Is there some XML Parser methods i can use to do the generation and retrieval of XML data into Strings.
Thanks
null

Sort of hack but the way I did it was
Convert to String:
Construct a ByteArrayOutputStream
print your documenet to this,
and then call the toString() on the
ByteArrayOutputStream.
Convert from String to an XMLDocument:
Construct a StringReader(String s)
Construct a DOMParser and parse the
StringReader.
Hope this helps.

Read xml file from jsp/servlet

Hi all,
I am a new comer to jsp and really appreciate if someone can help me on this:
I will like to use a xml file to control access to my web app instead of using a database. Let say user.xml that will contains user name and password. Questions:
1. where should I put this file? Under WEB-INF?
2. In my jsp or servlet, how do i read the xml file, i mean how to i refer to the file (depend on question 1 as where the file should be placed)?
Thank you very much.
Sim

Hi jlsim,
you can place the xml file where you want, but remember that placing it under /WEB-INF is the most security way.
I had a similar problem and I placed the xml file under /WEB-INF directory.
To refer to it I did something like this:
String realPath=getServletContext().getRealPath("WEB-INF/xml/workspaces.xml");//obtain the real path
File f=new File(realPath);//obtain an instance of your file usable
//to create an InputStream
