Server API for Looking up Web Applications

Is there a public server API for obtaining a list of deployed web applications and configuration information for those deployed applications?
Thanks.

We strongly discourage to use the tomcat APIs. We may support those API's this version and may not support in next version. You can find the deployed app's from server.xml or admin interface. There is a work around to find the deployed applications programatically by using the command
asadmin> ist-components --user admin_user [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure | -s] [--passwordfile file_name] [--type application|ejb|web|connector] instancename

  • Problem with Configuring Tomcat for running jsp web applications..Plz HELP

    I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Jdk 1.5.0_12 and Oracle 10g. I am using jdbc-odbc bridge connection
    to connect to the database. I have placed my project folder called
    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally

  • How to disable u201Csticky sessionu201D for the particular web application?

    Hi All,
    Is there a possibility to disable so called u201Csticky sessionu201D for the particular web application? We have deployed a WAR file with the Axis 1.4 based web service into SAP NW 7.1. The web service works fine but when the client makes SOAP request the server creates a so-called u201Cstickyu201D HTTP session with the default (30 minutes) timeout. Such u201Csessionsu201D are created on each SOAP request from the same client. The maximum number for Java Web Sessions (SAP Management Console) is 1000. After a while the clients start getting the u201C503 Service not availableu201D errors:
    503 Service not available.
    Error: -6
    Version: 7010
    Component: ICM Java
    Date/Time: Tue Mar 03 14:30:12 2009 
    Module: http_j2ee2.c
    Line: 1166
    Server: XXXXXXXXXXX
    Error Tag:
    Detail: server overload: no more sessions available
    The only way to improve the situation we found so far was to set session timeout to 1 minute. That u201Csticky sessionu201D will still be created, though.
    This is a testing environment and we do not use any hardware/software loadbalancer. 
    Any help/advice is appreciated. (Please let me know if you need more information.)
    Thanks,
    Dmitry Vasilenko

    The practical workaround we finally come up with for this problem was to create a servlet filter and map it to the AxisServlet. The servlet filter will invalidate the HTTP session and effectively destroy the sticky session created by the server on each SOAP request.
    Here is the fragment from the web.xml
    <filter>
      <filter-name>StickySessionFilter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>com.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx.services.StickySessionFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name> StickySessionFilter </filter-name>
      <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
    </filter-mapping>
    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    The doFilter() method looks like this:
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
           try {
                  chain.doFilter(request, response);
           } finally {
                         javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)request;
                         javax.servlet.http.HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession();
                         session.invalidate();

  • Is the Adobe Air Packager for Desktop or Web Application Apps?

    Is the Adobe Air Packager for desktop or web applications?
    I'm testing the RoboHelp Adobe Air packager and noticed that
    it produces an *.exe file that must be launched locally. This makes
    it seem like it's only an alternative to the *.CHM format for
    desktop applications?
    Is there a way to link to webhelp topics packaged using Adobe
    Air to provide context-sensitive help (CSH) for a web application
    running on a remote server? Supposedly the Adobe Air packager has
    CSH capabilities, but I've found zero documentation on how to set
    this up.

    Hi Dirk.

  • "SSO" for non-sap web application using SAPGUI to browse?

    I have a web application (non SAP) and the user base are also SAP users in an ABAP system.
    To strengthen the authentication in the web app, I wanted to implement SSO 
    authentication as we pity the users for having to remember so many strong pw's and I
    dont like LDAP based pw sync or other technology I dont understand, because then we are
    just yet another application with the same pw...
    We are having technical problems implementing SSO on the web app side, and are anyway a
    bit sceptical about the user admin / role admin assignment if we get it to work.
    So I have created a transaction in SAP which browses the web app and the intention is to
    send the SAP sy-uname as the web app user. We can control this using s_tcode, and
    an own auth object on the WAS side and a check on the session type before the connection is
    established. In this sense we are dependent on the SAP concept implemented, but even so:
    The role assignment is controlled in the web app itself -> so assume that I am not overly
    worried about unauthorized access to the web application, as they would not have any
    system role for it as their sy-uname does not exist. (Infact we can monitor this)
    The browser on the front end is the SAPGUI with html controls on the SAP side.
    I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has experience with this approach, and
    whether there are any areas to be carefull of?
    I would also like to know whether this is a strategic error?
    Kind regards,
    Julius

    Hi Julius,
    well, if that web application would run on the same ABAP backend system then the solution described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0612670">SAP Note 612670</a> would be applicable:
    a so-called "Re-entrance ticket" (based on the "SAP logon ticket" SSO proceedings) is issued, transported via the SAPGUI connection and back to the system via the invoked HTML control.
    But for non-SAP web applications that does not help.
    In that case only X.509 client certificates can be used for SSO. Actually, the web application could then also be invoked directly (independent from the SAPGUI session). The user is authenticated based on the X.509 client certificate - and not based on the ABAP userID (of the SAPGUI session).
    Well, if you don't mind the effort you could also use the "SAP Logon Ticket evaluation library" (sapssoext, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0304450">SAP Note 304450</a>) to evalute the SAP logon ticket externally. You'll then need to have a "stub application" at the ABAP side that triggers the http redirect to your external web application. Not a nice solution but a possible one.
    In the future SAML browser artifacts would be an option (preferable to integrate non-SAP applications). But currently that's not available (for NWAS ABAP).
    Cheers, Wolfgang

  • How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

    Hi All,
    I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
    1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
    2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
    multiple instances of OC4J ?
    3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi Avi,
    First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
    I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
    I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
    Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ravi.

  • Setup Team Foundation Server - Team Site Collection - SharePoint Web Application Settings failed with error TF205014, TF250025

    Hi
    I have TFS server installed and working with other SharePoint farm.  (TFS installed,  SharePoint extension installed and Granted Access for TFS.
    When Setup TFS - SharePoint Web Application Settings,  It ask for the three values:
    Web Application URL:  
    Central Administration URL:
    Default Location of team project collection sites:
    What notice about the TFS sites that are working is that they are Path Based Site Collection.  Created with SharePoint Web Application managed path (like
    http://spserver/sites/tfs_site1) and so it easy to see it will work.
    Web Application URL:  http://spserver
    CA URL :   http://spserver:portnumber
    Default Location :  Sites or any managed path
    We start using Host Name Site Collection (HNSC) to get the benefit of multiple unique site name without having multiple web application for each.  Work great but when we tried to setup and extend TFS service on the HNSC, we could
    not get them to work and got errors when trying different variation of path URL.
    After doing lot of searching on this, I came up pretty empty and I don't know if that is possible so my question is Have anyone able to setup TFS to work with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection?  
    If you have, a simple yes will be great but please share or even if anyone think it is possible or not possible, please share too.
    Thanks in advance for any comment / suggestion.

    Hi  Swanl,
    I’m afraid that we cannot setup TFS to work  with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection.
    Also you can  initial a new thread in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server forums:

    More experts for Team Foundation Server will assist you, then you will get more information relation to your issue.

  • Advice needed for provider hosted web application - authentication and access to SharePoint document library

    I haven't done SharePoint 2013 development with claims so I apologize in advance if my assumptions and questions are way out in left field.
    I'm trying to understand SharePoint 2013 claims authentication for a scenario that involves:
    A SharePoint provided hosted (web forms) app that will pull information and assets (e.g. PDFs) from SharePoint into the web page.
    It will be a VS 2012 solution with asp.net.identity feature.
    Security will be set for internal users, federated external users and forms-based external users.  Based on their security and (claim type) role it will define what information and assets that can be retrieved from SharePoint
    I have looked through MSDN and other sources to understand.
    This one helped with my understanding 
    Federated Identity for Web Applications and assumed that the general concept could be applied to forms-based identity for non-Federated external users .
    What I have now:
    VS 2012 solution web forms application set to Provider Host with asp.net.identity feature and its required membership tables.
    I can create new users and associate claims to the new user.
    I can log in with a user from the membership tables and it will take me to a default.aspx page.  I have added code to it that displays the claims associated to a user.
    For POC purposes I'd like to retrieve documents that are associated to this user from the default.aspx page.
    This is where I am having trouble understanding:  Is my understand correct?
    Internal users
    since they are internal on the network i am assuming that they would already have access to SharePoint and they would already be configured to what documents that they have available to them.
    Federated external users & Forms authentication external users
    it seems to me that the authentication for external users are separate from SharePoint authentication process.
    changes to the configuration settings are necessary in SharePoint, IIS, web application.
    I believe this is what i read.
    claims processes (e.g. mappings) need to be set up in SharePoint
    as long as external users are authenticated then things are ok b/c they would have claims associated to the user and the configuration in SharePoint takes are of the rest.
    This statement bothers me because I think it's wrong.
    So basically i'm stuck with if my understanding is correct: once a user is authenticated either by federated identity or asp.net.identity authentication that it should go to the provider hosted default.aspx page because the claim is authenticated and means
    that it should have access to it and the SharePoint document library based on some claim property.  I could then write the calls to retrieve from a document library and SharePoint will know based on some claim property that the logged in user can only
    access certain documents.
    It just sounds too good to be true and that i'm missing something in the thought process.
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read.

    from what you understand, its correct that all the authentication is based from the provider, so for example i have a windows live ID and internal ID, then when i login windows live ID, it will be authenticated using windows live ID server.
    here is the example for the webservice:
    http://claimsid.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Federated%20Identity%20for%20Web%20Services&referringTitle=Home
    as i know, if you using this federated, i am not quite sure that you will need to go to the provider page literally, perhaps you can check this example if we are using azure:

  • I would appreciate advice on technical choices for a large web application.

    Application Server: Sun Java System Application Server Platform 8.2
    JDK: J2EE 1.4
    Database platform: Oracle 9i
    I am currently in the middle of designing a large, not enterprise, web application.
    At this point, I have the requirements, ERDs, UML diagrams, several initial JavaBeans and POJOs contributed from other developers. So, planning is going well...
    This is a customer service application to manage customer accounts.
    I have the following sections, each section are several applications, except for the main app, which is one application:
    Option Maintenance - manages data used within the main app.
    System Maintenance - manages data used within the main app.
    Client Maintenance - manages data used within the main app.
    Event Log Browser - a historical events viewer of events in the main app.
    Transaction Browser - similar to Event Log Browser with transaction data.
    Admin. Maintenace - manages users of the application.
    Customer Management - main app.
    A user will authenicate into the main app and based on authorization, a user main also see all or specific management sections and browsers.
    I need advice on the best way to approach this in terms of making technical choices?
    I understand the MVC pattern, so my original though would be to use the framework within JSF. FacesServlet, etc...
    Again, this isn't an enterprise application by any means, but it does need to be able to scale. In later phases, when asked to add another application - I don't want to look back and say "why did I do this?"
    I just want to make sure I am making good technology choices based on known requirements.
    Thanks,

    jschell: Thank you for the questions, these help a lot.
    Q: Have you scaled the usage? Do you know how many users will use it in the first month and three years from now?
    Yes, it is figured that we'll start with twelve users, with an increase of about one or two new users per year, not very much at all.
    Q: What does the average user do? What does the unaverage user do?
    The average user will only use the Customer Management - main app. They will be logged in throughout the day managing accounts based on any customers calling in.
    Another average user will use the Browser based applications to check daily transactions, however this is usually towards mid-morning and in the evening.
    An unaverage user will use the Maintenance based applications to set-up the data or make any changes. The Maintenance based applications will be rarely used after set-up.
    Q: Are there any priority customers (like 50% of the companies business comes from one customer)? If so then it would be a really good idea to find out what they want and what they want to do.
    Not really priority customers, but priority call times. Most calls happened between 6:30AM - 10:00AM CST. During that time, the Customer Management - main app will be used by all twelve users.
    Q: What is the liability and security context? In other words what happens if some kid gets access to an account?
    This is an internal application, hosted inside a DMZ. A user must authenticate (log in) to use the application.
    What I have yet to deal with is how do I force authentication if a user tries to obtain access to an application through their browser history or even by typing in a URL... That's another topic in itself.
    Any transactions with in the Customer Management - main app, will be logged - in which these logs can be view by the Transaction Browser.
    Q: What are the future directions that the software might grow? What resources will it need? How will it be tested? How 'perfect' must it be when it goes live?
    The only known growth for the software would be adding additional report viewers or monitor features to help track customer transactions.
    Hardware resources, the application be hosted on a SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880. There are 8 Sun Sparc 900Mhz chips.
    Testing will occur in phases at the development stage, then it will go through a full QA stage performed by the QA Department.
    At minimum, the Customer Management - main app and Transaction Browser must be "perfect".
    Q: How much time do you have to do it?
    I have three months.

    The notification messahes (JMS related) are here for information purpose and not related to your application.
    The ERROR J2EE HTTP-00004 is related to your application, is looks like you have a misconfiguration or something bad with your application and the module/application named "datatags".
    Could you please give more information about the application that you are deploying?
    - how do you deploy it?
    - what is the packaging? EAR or WAR, how did you package it? (Jdev or other?)
    - what are the different modules that you are using? (web apps, ejb, ...)
    - can you run the application from JDeveloper if you are using it?

  • Beginner confusion:  what technologies to use for a new web application ?

    Hello,
    Being a beginner to JDeveloper , I am very confused because it looks like
    there are so many alternatives : JSF vs ADF faces vs Swing,
    EJB vs Toplink vs ADF business components.
    I am having trouble with determining which of these alternative technologies
    would be the most productive (in terms speed of development).
    Which of those technologies are recommended for a small web-based application?
    Thanks,
    Adrian Maier

    For my projects, the technology is chosen (from JDeveloper's available technologies) that best suits the requirements for the project. In my experience ADF Business Components are awesome if there are lots of database tables involved, but you need to have the patience to sit down and learn the technology intimately if you wish to perform complex tasks with them.
    As for JSF vs. ADF Faces vs. Swing...
    ADF Faces is like a framework built on top of Java Server Faces to supply a more rapid development process than just solo JSP/JSF. Consequentially, I find that ADF Faces sort of limits my desire for certain power over the application front end though...
    In the end, what you start with depends also on what you know. If you are new to JSF/JSP then I would start there. ADF Faces became much more intuitive to me once I became educated on the base technology that it works with.

  • API for a RMI based application

    Hi,
    We have a RMI based application wherein the business layer runs on the server and there is a Swing based client which connects to it.
    Requirement:
    To provide an API for the business layer so that any client application can connect to it.
    Approaches:
    1. Usage of CORBA
    Use CORBA layer in place of RMI between the server and client; this shall ensure that any client application can connect to server.
    2. Keeping the constraint that the API shall support only Java clients
    Keep the RMI layer as it is; add a constraint that the API shall only support Java application
    Is there any other approach that you feel can be used? Please guide.
    Thanks in advance
    -Jay

    What does that mean? Does that truely mean any client? If so, RMI, AFAIK, isn't an option. CORBA would be better, even more generic would be an XML (SOAP type stuff) based Web Service.I have an FTP client. Does he want that to be able to talk to his server? I can't think that he could possibly mean thatWho knows with some of these people these days. ;-) It's of course, not possible, but they probably assume a "within reason" clause, not that that also doesn't vary widely from person to person, but CORBA still provides a wide base beyond Java apps and an XML base even wider (although less effeciently, normally).
    so I surmise that he just wants his Swing client to be able to be run remotely talking to his server regardless of firewalls and other constraints. In which case he probably just needs RMI-over-HTTP(S).Probably, and that is then, of course, the best solution.
    Given the original post content and the fact that this is posted in the 'New To Java' forum I really do think I am missing something.Who knows, the "requirement" is more than a bit vague. ;-)
