Servlet/JSP problems with WL 4.51

Hi all
          I have a set of Servlets and JSPs running on NewAtlanta's ServletExec
          servlet engine. I am currently porting them to WebLogic. I am facing a
          few problems. I do not want to change any of my HTML/JSP/Java files
          immediately. I want the same files to work in WL as it is. Pl help.
          1. The servlets in ServletExec used to be invoked as
          http://host/servlet/servletName. But in weblogic they are invoked
          as http://host/servletName. I tried registering the servlet names
          in weblogic.properties as
          weblogic.httpd.register.servlet/XServlet=com.foo.XServlet
          weblogic.httpd.initArgs.servlet/XServlet=param=value
          Now I can call this servlet as http://host/servlet/XServlet and so
          I dont have to change any html/JSP files. Will this cause any
          problems in the future?
          2. Since we used to run ServletExec on IIS, we created a virtual
          directory called /jsp in IIS under which we had all the html and
          JSP files. Our servlets will get the http requests, get data from
          database, put the results in session/request variables and dispatch
          it to appropriate JSP page. So, all our servlet code looks like
          this:
          RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
          getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/test.jsp");
          dispatcher.forward(request, response);
          How do I make this code work with WebLogic? Is there any way to
          create virtual directory and make it work like in IIS?
          Thanks for any help.

You might try
          weblogic.httpd.register.jsp/*.jsp=weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet
          but a better/ easier way would be to just move all of your jsp files to a 'jsp'
          subdirectory beneath public_html

How to send Oracle rowid to servlet? | Problem with national characters.

There is same possibility how to send rowid to servlet?
I have now definition like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Par1=#{bindings.Col1.inputValue}"/>
But If column contents national characters, servlet methods obtained changed these characters.
My idea is to use not primary key for row, but use oracle rowid. It is simply possible?
Use something like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Rowid=#{bindings.Rowid}"/
Or Do you have ideas how to solve problem with national characters ?
Thanks
FiL

Hi,
Although your workaround works.
I think this is a simple encoding problem.
I simply need to make sure all parameters and pages are encoded with a char set which contains the national characters you mentioned.
This is a bit dependent on the exact technology your using, but most can be done via the web.xml:
<jsp-config>
      <jsp-property-group>
          <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
          <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
      </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>     This forces all JSP pages to be encoded in UTF-8
Adding the following parameter sometimes helps as well, although I think this one is a bit dated:
You said your using a servlet so your servlet needs a similar block for its pattern
<context-param>
    <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
    <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</context-param>If you want to be 100% sure the encoding is set right make sure thepages contain:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>Or depending on your view technology the syntax can be a bit different

Xml/html to jsp - problem with quotes in attribute values

I am trying to convert a static html document into a jsp using an xsl stylesheet, but run into problems trying to use the jsp expression syntax inside of attribute values.
Here is a sample of the source file:
<input type="text" name="firstName" value=""/>
Here is what I want the resulting jsp file to look like:
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="<jsp:expression>customer.getField("firstName") </jsp:expression>">
Here is what part of my stylesheet looks like:
<xsl:template match="input">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@type"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="@name"/>
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><jsp:expression></xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">customer.getField(</xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/> ")
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">")</xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></jsp:expression></xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
The problem i have is with the <%= customer.getField("firstName") %>. I have tried several different ways of inserting the double quotes around firstName, but no matter what I try, it always uses the entity reference instead of actually putting the " character. The jsp container will not accept the entity.
I am assuming that the problem is with trying to place double quotes inside of an attribute value. Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks
David

Which App Server are you using?
You should just be able to escape the double quotes.
If that doesn't work, it's a bug in the app-server.
Alternatively, you can use single quotes around the
attribute value.
Hope that helps,
AlexSorry, I'm an idiot. By escaping you meant the unicode character escape "\u0022". I had not tried that. However, once i realized what you meant, I tried it, and it worked. Thanks for your help.

Servlet/jsp problem

hello i am using netbeans to create a simple login system using a servlet and a jsp. the jsp has the following code:
<form action="login" method="get">
<br>UserID <input type="text" name="userID" size="20" maxlength="20">
<br>Password <input type="password" name="password" size="20" maxlength="20">
<br><input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
the servlet name is login and located under src/java/login.java
however when i run it its just giving me this msg that it cannot find the servlet:
type Status report
message Servlet login is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet login is not available) is not available.
does anyone know what the problem might be?

How have you defined this servlet in your web.xml ?
For example it should be something like this:
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>SomeServletAlias</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>servletpackagename.ServletClassName</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>SomeServletAlias</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servleturlpattern</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>If you have the URL Pattern as: /servleturlpattern , then in your form's action put action="/servleturlpattern" and not action="servleturlpattern"
Where ever you reference the servlet, the URL for the servlet should match exactly as you specify it in the URL-Pattern. Otherwise it wont work.

Paper Layout in Report JSP - problem with anchors

Hi,
I am using an anchor to connect two frames. The frames are vertically expandable and horizontally fixed. When I run the report (PDF) as an rdf, I receive no errors, however when running the same report as a JSP, I get the following error : 'Object can never fit in within....<frame-name>'.
What could be the reason? Is it a bug?
Thanks,
Bharat

hi,
i've not heared about this particular issue, but i think it might be a good idea to open a tar with oracle support. it could be, that some properties get mixed up in your particular case when saving the report as JSP and therefore the RDF works and the JSP doesn't. it is certainly not a generic issue, otherwise we would have already heared about it.
another idea would be to apply the latest patchset (9.0.2.2) that contains a lot of fixes and it might fix your problem as well.

philipp

JSP problems with NetBeans 4.1

Hi Guys,
I have the following problem. I am working with NB 4,1, and trying to import a Enterprise application with existing sources. This is the sample application in the tutorial for importing.
So I have done everything exactly as it says, and when I run the project, everything is fine, deploying and so on. The structure of the web module is so that, there is one index.html file, and after that it "leads" to a couple of JSP clients. The browser opens "http://localhost:8080/cmpcustomer-war", and when you click on one of the links, and exception is displayed which says that the file
"http://localhost:8080/customer/createCustomer.jsp" does not exist.
When I look in the project tree in NB, under the web module the jsp file exists, under WebPages dir. I click on properties on the web module, and there on the run tab??, and the "context path" is set to "customer", I don't know it must be working, I don't know wy it is not.
Thanks in advance.

every time i open the ide it generates an IO Exception and it dosen't recognise the midp classes.
i created a new user account and ran the ide from there and it opened without generating the IOException and it showed me the classes and everything, it ran beautifully. now when i closed the program and later reopened it, it generated the IOException and dosen't recognise the classes anymore.

JSP problem with ANT

Hello!
I built up a web site and I want to test them using ANT. It works fine with other web page, however it doesn't work with web pages with "session" statement. For example in login.jsp I have the following statement
session.setAttribute("user", request.getParameter("userName"));
And if the user's name and password are correct, the user is directed to home.jsp, where i have the following statement to retrieve the user's name:
String id=session.getAttribute("user").toString();
In order to test the above 2 pages with ANT, I have the following code in builder.xml:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<project name="proj" default="test" basedir=".">
<target name="test">
<get src="http://path/login.jsp?userName=id&passWord=1111" dest="1.html" />
</target>
</project>
When I run the script, I get the error that the home.jsp cannot be opened (see below)
[get] Error opening connection java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://path/home.jsp
I am pretty sure the above error is caused by the "session" statement, because if I remove the statement in home.jsp, the page can be correctly opened. But I really need the "session" statement, Can someone tell me how to deal with it?
thanks a million.

Usually with a 500 error there's more detail in a server log somewhere. Can you find anything in stderr.log or some such?

Swing Applet in JSP: problem with fetching data from database

in index.jsp page i have included the following code for calling this applet:
<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="NewJApplet.class" codebase="applets"
width="600" height="300">
<jsp:fallback>Could not load applet...</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>
if i view it in using AppletViewer it runs perfectly and display the data in JLabel. (ie, both jlblTitle and jlblNewTitle).(ie, DATA FETCHES FROM db AND DISPLAYS PROPERLY)
BUT IF I CLICK ON INDEX.JSP, ONLY jlblTitle APPEARS. jlblnNewTitle WILL BE BLANK(this label name is supposed to fetch from database)
EVERY THING IS DISPAYING PROPERLY EXCEPT DATA FROM DATABASE!!!
i signed the applet as follows :
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Can any body help me to figure out the problem?

Portal 7.0 " Processing HTTP request to servlet [jsp] finished with error."

Hi
I just did a system copy for portal 7.0 from my production to quality system.
The import finished successfully and java instance is up and running
We were earlier using jdk 1.4.2 , but moved to JVM 6.1 during the import of the java stack and now the java application is using JVM 6.1 instead of JDK 1.4.2
I m getting the attached error when i m trying to connect with main page of the portal
Plz let me know why is this happenning?
Thanks and Regards
Tushar

Hi
Have you tried in any other browser ?
Check the detailed error log in defaultTrace file under /usr/sap/SID/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluser/server0/log.
Open the page again and check defaulttrace in above directory

Problem with displaying BLOB images on JSP page using a servlet

hi. I have a big problem with displaying BLOB images using JSP. I have a servlet that connects to the oracle database, gets a BLOB image , reads it, and then displays it using a BinaryStream. The problem is , this works only when i directly call that servlet, that is http://localhost:8080/ImageServlet. It doesn't work when i try to use that servlet to display my image on my JSP page (my JSP page displays only a broken-image icon ) I tried several coding approaches with my servlet (used both Blob and BLOB objects), and they work just fine as long as i display images explicitly using only the servlet.
Here's what i use : ORACLE 10g XE , Eclipse 3.1.2, Tomcat 5.5.16 , JDK 1.5
here is one of my image servlet's working versions (the essential part of it) :
               BLOB blob=null;
          rset=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM IMAGES WHERE ID=1");
          while (rset.next())
               blob=((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(2);
          response.reset();
          response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
          response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=42.jpeg");
                ServletOutputStream ostr=response.getOutputStream();
               InputStream istr=blob.getBinaryStream(1L);
                int size=blob.getBufferSize();

<img src="/ImageServlet" border="0" > If you could just tell me what i'm doing wrong here , or if you could show me your own solutions to that problem , i would be very greatful ,cos i'm realy stuck here , and i'm rather pressed for time too. Hope someone can help.

I turns out that it wasn't that big of a problem after all. All i had to do was to take the above code and place it into another JSP page instead of into a servlet like i did before. Then i just used that page as a source for my IMG tag in my first JSP. It works perfectly well. Why this doesn't work for servlets i still don't know, but it's not a problem form me anymore . Ofcourse if someone knows the answer , go ahead and write. I would still appriceatte it.
here's the magic tag : <img src="ImageJSP.jsp" border="0" > enjoy : )

Having problems compiling *.java with import javax.servlet.jsp......

I've been trying to do the tutorials in a book titled Apache Jakarta-Tomcat as part of my introduction to JSP. I'm new to Java but do know the basics. I have on my machine Java 1.3, Java 1.4, Java FrameWorks 2.1 and Jython 2.1 on Win2000 Pro. So enough about my configuration. I have never worked with packages also.
I downloaded the files from the books site due to the fact I make a lot of typos when hand coding Java (I've become a pretty good debugger of my own code). But everytime I go to compile the *.java I get error messages. So below you will find HelloTag.java and beneath that the error messages that are thrown when I try and compile it. I tested other bits of *.java and have had no problem compiling them. Is there a JSP module I'm missing?
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something from my configuration.

Well, it looks like you've not got the servlet development kit JAR on your classpath. I think it'll probably be called servlet.jar on your system. Add that to the classpath if it's not already there.
Incidentally, you've bumped into one of the areas Java's slightly lenient - declaring a method that looks like a constructor:
public HelloTag() { }
public void HelloTag() { }The first is a constructor, the second is a normal method. I'm assuming you intended to have the former instead of the latter.
Anyway, hope this helps.

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

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

Problem with include and relative path in jsp

Precompile jsp with wlappc in 9.2, I got the error "The include file was not found" when the jsp use <%@ include file="../includes/dataEntry/code_error.html" %>
          This code used to work with 8.1. I notice that someone has report the same problem with 9.0 and you have patch for it. Is it fix in 9.2 or do I require a patch as well?
          Thanks,
          Khuemy

When you precompile, can you say "Keepgenerated=TRUE". It might help you track
          down the difference with the URL. You should only get a 404 error when the
          resource is not found at runtime, which is independant of when you compile. The
          difference should be in how the URL is compiled.

Problem with JNDI and JSP in Tomcat

Hi,
Basically, what I've done is to use the Tomcat administration web
application to create the DataSource, which looks like it populated the
server.xml (see below). I then try to access the testconn.jsp, and am
getting that "Name java:comp is not bound in this Context" error.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Feri

Hi,
First of all, you can find alot of information about this in the forum about jsp's.
I think a good thing to do is not to put your context tag directly into the server.xml file.
What you should do is create a context.xml file with the context-tag in it, and put it in the META-INF directory of your .war file. Upon deployment to tomcat5 this file will be extracted from the war, copied to the conf\enginename\hostname directory, and it will be renamed to contextName.xml.
I think you are developing directly into the webapps directory, and I believe you should avoid that and use the deployment feature of the manager web-app or you should use the deployertool from you ide or standalone ant.
anyway, for starters try to remove the context tag from the server.xml file as described above, and check out the jsp / jdbc forums for simular problems and answers.
good luck
