Servlet session objects shariing same session objects? Help!

Hi all,
          Is it possible for two different HttpSessions to share the same session objects.
          We have a java class that we store in the session. This class calls a stateless Session EJB to do quoting for an insurance policy. It seems that two different clients are sharing the same instance of the EJB because they are each modifying the other's quotes.
          I have checked the session id for each client and have found that they are different. I then changed the EJB to be stateful but I received the same results.
          I'm not sure where to go from here.
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          Thanks in advance.
          Greg

The session object is declared through a useBean-directive and has session-scope. We are using WLS sp 4

Comapring two Calender Objects for same Date object

hi,
I am having problem with Comparing two Calender Objects which is having same Date value but time stamp is not same.when i printed as Calender.getTime()---->i found them as.
Cal1----->Wed Feb 28 20:26:29 IST 2007
Cal2------>Wed Feb 28 00:00:00 IST 2007
Now the method:
While(Cal1.getTime().compareTo(Cal2.getTime()) ==0 ) is Evaluating false.
i dont want to be concerned with time stamp.i want condition to be true.
Please help me .thx in advance.
Cheers
Akash

My comment was directed at the fact that you gave the same answer I did, only faster. There is no other way I am aware of that will be any quicker. Of course, that is looking at a small piece of code out of context, so there may well be a better way.

How to track the same session using both jsp and servlets

Hello, guys:
"how to use jsp and servlet to track the same session",
it seems to me my logoff.jsp never realize the session I established in my servlets.
Here is how I set my session in my servlets:
" HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("userid",suserid);"
Here is how I invalidate my session in my logoff.jsp
" <%@ page language= "java" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpSession" %>
<%@ page session="false"%>
Our Session id is : <%= session.getId() %>
<% session.removeAttribute("userid");
session.invalidate();
%>
Our Session id is : <%= session.getId() %>"
but when I try to logoff using the logoff.jsp
I always get following error message.
"/home/jiao/jsp_webserver/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/syllabus/htmls/logoff_jsp.java:50: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable session
location: class org.apache.jsp.logoff_jsp
out.print( session.getId() );"

So,
<%@ page session="false"%>
That means the jsp never instantiates the build in session object.
<%@ page session="true"%>
means jsp will instantiates a session object if there are no existing ones
how about I just delete the line,
does that mean the jsp will find the existing session object for me?
So I can do something like
Our Session id is : <%= session.getId() %>
<% session.removeAttribute("userid");
session.invalidate();
%>
directly.

Session State Replication of Referenced Objects

Here is question on Clustering and Session state replication:
          Scenario:
          Consider two Session Objects A and B.
          Object A has-a reference to object B.
          So whatever changes done to Object B is reflected in Object A.
          In-memory Session replication happens on every HttpSession.setAttribute() call.
          The question is will the two session objects(A and B) be replicated to the other cluster and will still maintain the reference relationship or will they be two separate objects with same data (in different memory locations).
          regards,
          Jaiganesh

Ok, I have been meaning to dig into session replication in a bit more detail and your question is a good excuse to do it!
          First stop the docs:
          Bea Docs
          The bits that jump out are under:
          Programming Considerations for Clustered Servlets and JSPs
          1) Session Data Must Be Serializable, so both your objects are serializable.
          2) Use setAttribute to Change Session State In an HTTP servlet that implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a session object. If you set attributes in a session object with setAttribute, the object and its attributes are replicated in a cluster using in-memory replication. If you use other set methods to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server does not replicate those changes. Every time a change is made to an object that is in the session, setAttribute() should be called to update that object across the cluster.
          Likewise, use removeAttribute (which, in turn, replaces the deprecated removeValue) to remove an attribute from a session object.
          >Will the reference as shown in the step 3 will be >maintained after replication on the other cluster ?? I >guess not!!
          I don't understand "on the other cluster" There is normally one cluster made up of a few servers. The session state is maintained on one primary server and a secondary server. So you have aObj.a2 = bObj, from the docs I would understand that at the momment you called session.setAttribute the aObj and all its fields provided they are seriliazable will be replicated in Mememory.
          >There the aObj and bObj stored in the two different >session objects will not have a reference relationship >in other words if i change bObj on the other cluster >will the reference a2 of aObj be able see it ??
          This is testing the limits of my understanding, but would have thought if the objects are in different sessions they should not be able to reference each other in the manner I think you are suggesting, so if I access aObj.a2 (an instance of bObj) and changed it in one session it should not affet any other bObj unless bObj is a singleton....I think!
          What say you?

How can i get session object based on session id?

I have tried searching in forum but i can't find any solution that i can get session object based on session id and i also would like to know how to check whether the session is still active? My company currently using weblogic 5.1. I really hope that some one or anyone can help. I am new in using Servlet. I hope that i can find some answer here. Thank you.

I have a need to get a Session object from a session id, so I don't think that the above should be deprecated. Here is my use case:
0. I am displaying files in a file list
1. I am downloading files.
2. I am downloading files through a Servlet
3. I am displaying the files as images in an applet
4. The applet is ImageJ, and it apparently uses a full URL to download the file.
5. I use request.getRequestURL() in the applet .jsp to get the full URL (the hostname and port)
6. My app server is OC4J and it's behind an apache server and is host aliased.
7. Thus the hostname is different between my applet .jsp and the Servlet URLs
8. Thus I have 2 different sessions
9. Thus I need to pass the session id (or some other unique identifier).
10. I could stored the unique identifier in the application object, but then I would need to clean it up
11. I cannot pass the the full path to the image due to security problems (what if someone downloads my password file?)
12. I would like this to work in a clustered environment
13. I think that WebDAV would solve my problems, since I could pass a full URL of webDAV to ImageJ for download. However, I am unsure how the security of WebDAV would work with ImageJ/URLConnection. I will have to research this feature in ImageJ.

How to get the UserTransaction object in stateless session bean

Hi, I am using jboss server and jdk5 version and using EJB.
My Application flow :
JSP à Action(Struts) à Service Locator à Session bean à Entity Bean(cmp) à DB.
I tried to get the UserTransaction object in my Action. Its my code.
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
UserTransaction uTrans = (UserTransaction) ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
After used uTrans.begin(),uTrans.commit() and uTrans. rollback () also.
Its working fine .
But, I used the the same code inside in my session bean its not working.
Stateless Session Manager Bean code :
public class SampleManagerBean implements SessionBean {
public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException { }
public void ejbRemove() { }
public void ejbActivate() {   }
public void ejbPassivate() {   }
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessionContext) {
this.sessionContext = sessionContext;
     public void createSample() throws EJBException
     try{
               InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
               UserTransaction ut = (UserTransaction) ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
          }catch(Exception e) {
          System.out.println( Exception === > +e)
Its throws the error ie: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: UserTransaction not bound
How to get the UserTransaction object in my session bean. Kindly give solution the above errors.
- Thendral

first of all, you could just use sessionContext.getUserTransaction(). however, that would only work if your bean is using bean-managed transactions. the default is container-managed transaction, in which case you cannot get a UserTransaction object. if you want to manage transactions, you need to add the TransactionManagementType.BEAN annotation to your ejb.

How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables

hi
Please consider section "40.8.5 How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables"
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
Based on this documentation I created the example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.01.zip
It behaves as show in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd
Its Application Module has a Transient View Object instance "MyEmployeesContextVOVI", as master for the child View Object instance "EmpInCtxJobVI".
On rollback the Transient View Object instance keeps its row and attribute values.
Also when passivation and activation is forced (using jbo.ampool.doampooling=false ) the Transient View Object instance seems to keep its row and attribute values.
questions:
- (q1) Why does the expression #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty} evaluate as true when a Transient View Object instance attribute value is changed (as shown in screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd )?
- (q2) What would be a robust approach to make a Transient View Object instance more self-contained, and manage itself to have only one single row (per instance) at all times (and as such removing the dependency on the Application Module prepareSession() as documented in "5. Create an empty row in the view object when a new user begins using the application module.")?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply Frank.
q1) Does sample 90 help ? http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
Yes, the sample from Steve Muench does help, "90. Avoiding Dirtying the ADF Model Transaction When Transient Attributes are Set [10.1.3] "
at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#90
It does point out a difference in marking transactions dirty by different layers of the framework, "... When any attribute's value is changed through an ADFM binding, the ADFM-layer transaction is marked as dirty. ...".
This can be illustrate with a small change in the example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.02.zip
It now shows the result of both these expressions on the page ...
#{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty}
#{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.dataProvider.transaction.dirty}... where one can be true and the other false respectively.
See also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/k8vgNqdKgD
Similar to the sample from Steve Muench, another modification to the example application introduces MyCustomADFBCDataControl
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.03.zip
public class MyCustomADFBCDataControl
extends JUApplication
@Override
public void setTransactionModified()
    ApplicationModule vApplicationModule = (ApplicationModule)getDataProvider();
    Transaction vTransaction = vApplicationModule.getTransaction();
    if (vTransaction.isDirty())
      super.setTransactionModified();
}Resulting in what seems to be more consistent/expected transaction (dirty) information,
see also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/756yCs1L1
Any feedback on why the ADF Model layer is so eager to mark a transaction dirty is always welcome.
Currently, question (q2) remains.
regards
Jan

Context.lookup in a Servlet always returns the same Stateful Session Bean

Hi,
I am working on an application in which a Servlet should obtain one StateFul Session Bean per client. I read in EJB 3.0 in Action that to do so I should use a jndi lookup and save the result of the lookup in an HttpSession. This works fine for me when I have a single client.
My issue is that when I have several clients, context.lookup returns the same SFSB for each client. This means that I end up having a single SFSB for the whole application. I've been browsing the web for a while now trying to find a solution but haven't had any luck yet.
The code I use to obtain and save the SFSB is the following:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
DFMServiceRemote service = (DFMServiceRemote) session.getAttribute("DFMService");
if (null == service)
service = (DFMServiceRemote) new InitialContext().lookup("DFMService");
session.setAttribute("DFMService", service);
}Using different browser, I end up with different HttpSession but a single SFSB. The only workaround I found is to create the context with environment variables or properties. It then returns different SFSBs for different HttpSession. The workaround code is as below:
Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "oc4jadmin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://localhost:23791/DriverFatigue");
service = (DFMServiceRemote) new InitialContext(env).lookup("DFMService");My question is the following. How can I get a different instance of an SFSB every time I execute context.lookup without specifying properties.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Matthieu Siggen

I just did something similar in another project using JBoss instead of oc4j and didn't have any problem. I expect I missed a configuration file in oc4j or there is a conflict somewhere.

Screenshots for Search option using Enity object(donot want session bean)

I want to create Entity object(donot want session bean and Enity diagram) with search option. so any one help me. i could not find (b13895_oracle10g) PDF

Can you elaborate a little more?
Do you mean ADF Entity objects or EJB entities from tables?
For ADF Entities -
You can create Business components from tables wizard from the New gallery and follow the steps. This creates your entites which are xml files and also view objects for which data controls get created, which you can then use in your jspx.
For EJB entities though you need to create a session bean or a service facade.
Thanks.

Objects spanning across sessions in 9i

Hi!
As I know, for 8i, you cannot have a Java class objects which could span across sessions. How about 9i?
Is there any way to use an object across different sessions?
In our application 'the object' contains our metadata information and is created by loading from an XML file. The object itself is quite big and if we are going to create it for each session we'll have a huge memory overhead.
Thanks, Nick

Nick:
You might want to try creating a GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE for 'the object' and have the XML tagged to it. Presumably, you could then have your Java class object reference 'the object'.
Check out the Oarcel 8i Application Developer's Guide for syntax info on GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE. This table can be created either session wise or transaction wise.
Hope this helps.

Put an Object in the session scope

I write a logon() action . Inside, i retrieve informations about user logon from a UserForm Object define in the faces-config.xml file with a request scope. So I want to set a business Object called User with the UserForm's values. Then i need to put the User Object in the session scope but i don't know how to do ?
Can someone help me ?
Thanks.

Thanks.The session attributes are available via the "sessionMap" property of the ExternalContext for this request. So, from within your Action, you could do something like this:
User user = ... set up your user object ...;
// Get FacesContext for this request
FacesContext context =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
// Store user object in the session map
context.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("user", user);Craig McClanahan

Session Facade design and TopLink objects

Hi, we are just about to start using Toplink as our ORM tool. Ideally we want to wrap all business logic behind stateless session bean facades. So instead of BMP entity beans we are thinking of encapsulating the relevant Toplink objects in each facade and querying, updating that object when the session facade bean is instantiated.
We are using Weblogic 70. Example code:
e.g. MySessionBean implements sessionbean...
     MyTopLinkObject myObject = null;
     public void populateObject(String myID) throws java.rmi.RemoteException {
          try {
               MyTopLinkObject myObject = new MyTopLinkObject(myID);
          catch (Exception e) {
     public void setMyTopLinkObjectsName(String name) {
     //persist this change via the toplink object...
     myObject.setName(name);
Then in MyTopLinkObject:
public class MyTopLinkObject {
     private String myID;
     private String myName;
public MyTopLinkObject(String myID) {
          build(myID);
public void build(String myID) {
          //read TOPLINK cache and populate this MyTopLinkObject name etc
public void setName(String myName) {
     //persist this change...
     this.myName = myName;
// more gets sets
I will then want to update MyTopLinkObject data in for example in calling. MySessionBean.setMyTopLinkObjectsName("my name") from the remote interface on the client.
So what I want to know is how do I can I do this efficiently. I'm too too versant with TopLink caches etc. For example to read the cache do I have to pass thru a TopLink client/server Session to each Session Facade bean so the cache is available for that read, update etc?
Any other tips is using this design would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
J

Don, thanks for ur advice yet again.
I think now I am getting a better grasp of how TopLink should be used. However there is very little doco out there in terms of using TOPLInk in as EJB session facade scenario.
After your advice my thoughts are to provide something like the TOPLInkFactory object as you say which will encapsulate the ServerSession TOPLink API and provide more fine grain access to the TOPLInk API. e.g. instead of having to create a ClientSession in each client call b4 getting a UnitOfWOrk, this factory class would provide a method to do this directly:
public final class TOPLinkFactory {
     private static ServerSession serverSession = null;
     private static final String TOPLINK_CONFIG_FILE = "C:\\test.xml";
     private static final String TOPLINK_SESSION = "toplink";
     public TOPLinkFactory() throws Exception {
          super();
     private static ServerSession createServerSession(ClassLoader cl) throws Exception {
          try {
          Project builderProject = XMLProjectReader.read(TOPLINK_CONFIG_FILE, cl);
     serverSession = (ServerSession)builderProject.createServerSession();
          serverSession.login();
               return serverSession;
          catch (Exception e) {
          return null;
     public static UnitOfWork getUnitOfWork(ClassLoader cl) {
          try {
               return createClientSession(cl).acquireUnitOfWork();
     public static ClientSession createClientSession(ClassLoader cl) throws Exception {
          try {
               if (serverSession == null) {
serverSession = createServerSession(cl);
ServerSession s = (ServerSession)SessionManager.getManager().getSession(TOPLINK_SESSION, cl);
               return serverSession.acquireClientSession();
          catch (Exception e) {
          return null;
Then in my Session EJBs I could write a method like this where Thing is a TOPLInk object mapped to the thing table:
     public boolean setThingStatus(String thingID) {
ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
Expression expression = builder.get("THING_ID").equal( Integer.parseInt(thingID));
ClientSession s = TOPLinkFactory.createClientSession(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
Thing thing = (Thing) s.readObject(Thing.class, expression);
UnitOfWork uow = TOPLinkFactory.getUnitOfWork(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
Thing thingClone = (Thing)uow.registerObject(thing);
thingClone.setStatus("WITH JASON");
TOPLinkFactory.commitAndReleaseUnitOfWork(uow);
return true;
Now if the above looks OK and there are no Thread/Session issues that you could make me aware of (or perhaps you would encourage using a full Singleton pattern instead).
I have another question in relation to ClassLoaders. In this architecture I have been passing around the ClassLoader (as above) to the TOPLInkFactory methods to create the unit of works etc... Is this necessary? Or could I avoid it?
Also I think some people in my team are thinking its a good idea for all TOPLink business objects to extend an abstract base class that contains this behaviour and provides these TOPLinkFactory methods. I no expert on TOPLInk but I would have thought this code should not be coupled with the TOPLink business objects for reasons such as:
1) Why should a TOPLink Person object (attributes name, age etc) e.g. extend a class with TOPLink API methods and attributes - I just don't see the logic there as I thought TOPLink was to be non-intrusive. For example a Person object should not encapsulate a ServerSession object and nor does it need to. To this end they are then coupled and if for example we wanted to move these Person objects to work with another persistence framework then they would have to be rewritten to remove all TOPLInk attribute/method references
2) I would have thought accessing the TOPLInk API is only necessary when the client code needs to invoke calls to the database for reads and updates. i.e. that's where you start getting your sessions, unit of works etc. Like in the setThingStatus Session EJB method (i.e. the client code) above and NOT in your business methods of for example the TOPLink Person object?
Please tell me if I am mistaken!
If you could clear some of this up it would be great.
Regards,
Jason

Is It Possible To Store Something Other Than An Object In A Session?

I have seen how to store an object in a session and the syntax is
public void setAttribute(String name, Object value);and we usually put String(s) in that object; for example, we have a customer object and we do the following:
customer.setStartDate( request.getParameter("startDate") );
customer.setEndDate( request.getParameter("endDate") );
customer.setOriginal( request.getParameter("origin") );
HttpSession sesssion = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute( "customer", customer );Is it possible to store a String in a session? What if I only want to store a String "origin" in a session so that this String can be passed to all subsequent requests?

Anything that is derived from Object.
String s = "something";
session.setAttribite("key", s);

I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive. Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. Can someone please help?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.
