Sent data as an HTML form using HTTP with Prolog

Hello,
I am trying to sent data to a marketplaces via HTTP Post like it is described in the online documentation ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm ) but it doesn't work.
I am trying to send 2 Post variables. An account ID and the content (an IDoc)
I made the following entry in the prolog:
id=abc&content=
I wrote a short php-Script to check weather the variables are sent correctly..
[code]<?php
$id = $_POST['id'];
$content = $_POST['content'];
$filename = "Filename ".$id.".xml";
/* Open a new File */
$fp = fopen($filename,"w");
fwrite($fp,$content);
/* Close file */
fclose($fp);
?>[/code]
This script just creates a new file with the id as the filename and the content as the content of the file.
When I run the test, the script receives no variables...
Is there something wrong with the prolog?
Yours
Thomas

Thomas,
did you try <b>&</b>id=abc&content= ?
Just to stick to the documentation....
Did you play with a <i>?</i> - may also help.
Finally - did you try with a manually entered post (e.g. via telnet) whether your php is correct. But I assume you know what you do....

How to retrieve input data from a HTML form in the UTF-8 cha

I encountered the following problem with a JWeb Application:
I tried to write a JWeb-Application for OAS 4.0, that retrieves
input data from a HTML form and writes it into an Oracle
database.
All processing should be done in the UTF-8 character set.
The problem is, that the form data retrieved by getURLParameter
are always encoded in a non-unicode character set and I found no
way to change this.
Can anybody tell me what I should do to get the form data in the
UTF-8 character set?
null

Hi
Try set in the JWEB application's Java environment such
SYSTEM_PROPERTY: file.encoding=UTF8.

Using HTTPs with webmail

If I use HTTPs with webmail it seems it pulls the whole site to HTTPs. That is to port 4xx.
Is this assumption correct?
If so. Would the solution then be to create a new site entry in the webtab for webmail only to prevent our regular website from being pulled to port 4xx.
And then create an entry like webmail.mydomain.is in the DNS.
If so is it possible to let the external mail relay server retrieve data from the internal server or would it be logical to point the DNS entry to the internal servers HTTPs port?
Hans

The "Webmail" check box just creates an alias so that if that site has /webmail in the URL, it accesses the squirrelmail directory (usr/share/squirrelmail).
Here's my preferred setup:
- Assumes your server fqdn and your ssl cert common name are: mail.domain.com
- Open 80 & 443 in firewall/nat
- Create a site for mail.domain.com.
Port 80
No Options Checked (not webmail either)
In the Alias tab, add a redirect (the lower box)
Type: Redirect
Pattern: /
Path: https://mail.domain.com
(notice above is https)
- Create another site for mail.domain.com and the squirrelmail login.
Port 443 (SSL)
Path: /usr/share/squirrelmail
Be sure to select your IP address, don't leave it on <any>
Options: none
Setup your certificate
Now, when you go to:
http://mail.domain.com
you will be automatically redirected to:
https://mail.domain.com

Reading html data & uploading a file in single html form using htp package

Hi
I have designed a html screen using htp package in which i have few text items and file upload button. I have to validate all forms data like text items and check box elements and upload file to unix. I am using java script for file validations and cgi script to upload file. With this I am able to either read form data or upload file but not both.
At a time I want to insert a record to database with html form values and upload file to unix with htp package. Please suggest how can I read html form data + uploading a file to unix simultaneously in a single htp procedure.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Have you ever considered using Application Express (APEX)?
Oracle Application Express (APEX)
Sounds like you're going the long way around to create a web based application.

How to submit a html form using java

hi friends,
i have a html form with some input fields, when ever a user submit the form the user information is stored in the database. is it possible to pass the user information in the url(url rewriting) and submit it by a java program so that the data will be stored in the database, as like as, user submit it manually.
for eg:
/*sample.html*/
<form action="store.jsp" method="post">
User Data:<input type="text" name="userdata">
<input type="submit">
</form>
in my java is it possible to store the record as below:
URL url=new URL("http://localhost:7001/webapp/store.jsp?userdata=AutomaticDatasave");
URLConnection con=url.openConnection();
int i=0;
while((i=con.getInputStream().read())!=-1)
System.out.print(i);/*it has to print the data that store.jsp is returned like information stored or error storing data(what ever)*/

hi Drclap,
Thanks for your reply, which is helpful to me....
tried what you said, what i did is modified the code like below
con.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedWriter br=new BufferedWriter(new InputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream()));
String str="userdata=AutomateDataSave\n";
br.write(str,0,str.length());
br.flush()But
Iam Getting Internal Server Error

How to retrieve data from the HTML form in the JEditorPane?

I could quite easily use JEditorPane to render and display a simple HTML file.
My HTML looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title> simple form</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="cccccc">
<center><h1>SURVEY THING</h1>
</center>
<form id="survey">
<p>1.Type something in.</p>
<textarea cols=25 rows=8>
</textarea>
<BR>
<p>2.Pick ONLY one.</p>
<input type="radio" name="thing" value="0" Checked> NO choice <BR>
<input type="radio" name="thing" value="1"> First choice <BR>
<input type="radio" name="thing" value="2"> Second choice
<BR>
<p>3.Pick all you like.</p>
<input type="checkbox" name="stuff" value="A"> A <BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="stuff" value="B"> B <BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="stuff" value="C"> C <BR>
<input type="submit" value="give data">
<input type="reset" value="do clensing">
</form>
</body>
</html>
It gets diplayed fine and I can type in text, select radio buttons (they behave mutualy-exclusive,
as they should) and check checkboxes.
The problem I have is with retrieving the values which were entered into the form.
If I, after editing, try to write the html to the file using HTMLWriter,
it records the changes I made into the textarea, however all the radio and checkbox selections are lost.
Maybe the problem is that when I enter the values I do not use any methods like
insertBeforeStart and so on, but I believe I shouldn't need to use them to populate a form.
Especially I never change the structure of the HTML.
Also, when I try to traverse the Element tree and see the input elements attributes,
I can never see a change in the entered values. However it is probably b/c I am traversing through
the model and the changes are in the view (just a guess.)
Anyway, if anybody could direct me onto the right path: how to retrieve the values typed in the form,
or if it is possible at all in the JEditorPane, I would greatly appreciate.
thanks
maciej
PS. I have seen the answer to a similar question posted some time last year. However, I am trying
to find a soultion which allows forms/surveys to be built by people who have no java and only basic
html knwledge. And Axualize way is probably a little bit too "high-tech."

Maybe helpful for u.

Read Only HTML Forms using adobe livecycle Output ES

Hi,
We have a requirement to display the adobe html forms in read-only format. got to know from adobe consultants that Adobe Livecycle Output ES has this feature. but i am not able to find out any services or components that would give me this functionality.
Is there a way to get these readonly forms using Adobe Livecycle Output ES.

Dear Dfoto,
Thank you so much for being so kind to spend the effort and reply back, I though my question was left behind the sun... but now I am very happy in deed.
To be more specific, the Form has 2 parts. The first part "Subform1" any one can fill and sign.
The second part "Subform2", only certain users can fill and sign.
I think I found a very strong lead to my solution, when I was playing with LiveCycle Desinger few days ago.
On the Singature Field Advanced Setting, there is a place you can attach the public part of a certificate (Digital Signature) of any user, one or more.
In this part, you tell LC that only those users "signing parties" can sign the field. I tested it and it worked.
Now, if I can use this feature via JavaScript to find out if the user who is filling the form, can sign this field, then he can fill the form. If he cannot sign the field, then he cannot fill the form. I can do that by setting the "access" property of the Subform. Another solution is that I can prevent the user from hitting the "Submit" button unless he signes the designated Signature Field.
I have another small issue:
I found out that if the Signature field is part of a repeating dynamic Subform, it will not work during run-time. Very bad in deed. While I cannot understand why ?, I tool this as "By Desing" feature.
Now, if the Signature is locking parts of forms which has dynamic content (repeating subforms), it will always show somthing like "Signature is corrupted or form was changed after it was signed".
Is this normal ? Is there a way to control Dynamic Forms using Digital Signatures without such annoying issues ?
Thank you.

Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

Hello. We're using FormsCentral extensively. We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people. Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content. Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit. The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form". What is causing this? Please help as it is causing us many problems.

Thanks for the quick response. We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions. They then pass the form to one other person who edits. All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
I think the problem is with Mac users. Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader? If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue. It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
Thanks!

ADOBE Form Using Table with dynamic number of rows

Hi All
First some information about our infrastructure:
- AdobeDesigner 7.1 in the Developerstudio
- SAP-Portal 7.0 SP15
I have a View with tabstrips and behind the tabs i have defined an event. On one Tab I included a ADOBE-Form with Table. The Data for the PDF sould only filled in the context for the Form when i jump to this Tab. I created the Form by using this documentation [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0859ad1-53aa-2a10-78ae-99e41c407669].
To fill the tablecontext I use the following Code:
IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement position = null;
IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenNode posNode = wdContext.nodePositionen();
int NUM_5_TIMES = 5;
for (int i = 0; i < NUM_5_TIMES; i) {
IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement posElement = wdContext.createPositionenElement();
+posElement.setMaterial("" + i);+
+posElement.setKurztext("Test" + i);+
+posElement.setWarengruppe("Warengr" + i);+
posNode.addElement(posElement);
If i put this code in the wdDoInit method it works fine and shows me 5 Rows. But if I put the code in the Action of the tabstrip it shows me only one row. I checked the entries of the context and there are 5 entries (showed them in a WD-Table).
Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
Thanks for a answer and kind regards
Pascal

Hi All
finally i found the solution for the problem.
When you define the interactive Form in the view do not define the property "dataSource" of UI-Element Interactive Form it seems, that the binding is static and not dynamic.
Add the following source to the viewCotroller
Global Part of the Source:
private static IWDInteractiveForm form = null;
Method wdDoModify:
if (firstTime) {
form = (IWDInteractiveForm) view.getElement("InteractiveForm");
When you have an Event where you fill your Contextnode which you want to display in the table of an Adobe Form Use this code:
Action:
public void onActionFillTab(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent ){
//@@begin onActionFillTab(ServerEvent)
* Code to fill the Node for AdobeForm Table
form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
//@@end
If you want to clear your table and show it directly use in the action the following code:
wdContext.nodeTabelle().invalidate();
form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
Kind regards
pascal

How to use HTTPS with JSSE URLConnection in servlet

Hi, I have a servlet that calls another servlet using the URLConnection class. This seems to work very well if I am using http. However when trying to call it using https using JSSE I get the following error:
"javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: untrusted server cert chain."
The following is the code that I am using in the servlet:
          java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
          System.getProperties().put("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
          this.servlet = new URL(servletURL);
          URLConnection conServlet = servlet.openConnection();
Both of these servlets are under IIS on my machine. I am able to execute each of the servlets from the browser using https directly. Does this sounds like an SSL certifcate problem or is that something in the Java code? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Perhaps you can create your own trust manager. I've found this example in another newsgroup: (please note that this example trusts everyone, but you can modify the trust manager as you wish)
if (putUrl.startsWith("https"))
//set up to handle SSL if necessary
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl,handshake,data,trustmanager");
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
//use our own trust manager so we can always trust
//the URL entered in the configuration.
X509TrustManager tm = new MyX509TrustManager();
KeyManager []km = null;
TrustManager []tma = {tm};
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("ssl");
sc.init(km,tma,new java.security.SecureRandom());
SSLSocketFactory sf1 = sc.getSocketFactory();
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory (sf1);
m_url = new URL (putUrl);
class MyX509TrustManager implements X509TrustManager {
public boolean isClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain) {
return true;
public boolean isServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain) {
return true;
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

To create login form using swing with sqlserver as backend

hi.
can anybody send me code to create login form using swings .
thnaks in advance..

You do realise that you can't create Swing on a JSP page?
You have to use HTML.
If you want to use Swing, the java must be running at the client end, which means you need an Applet, and a completely different forum.

How do I use HTTPS with iMQ 2.0?

Our business requirement mandates that we have to use tunneling in a SECURE way, i.e. we have to use HTTPS tunneling.
Certainly this requires JMQ client code to open SSL socket instead of plain socket and also requires Web server to be configured and provides some management function to deal with
I like to believe that we are not the only one asking such a feature. Is it doable with JMQ? Is this in the work?

Deploying the JMQ2.0 HTTP Tunneling servlet on an https url will enable a
secure connection from the client to the webserver. However, the tunneling
servlet connection to the broker in JMQ2.0 is via a regular TCP connection and
not via SSL.
In our next major release we are adding the feature that provides a secure
connection right from the client through the tunneling servlet (https) and on
to the broker via SSL.
We will (soon) have a beta version available.
