Servlets, initArgs and JSP

Could someone from the WebLogic team please comment on this:
          Is it really true that I cannot
          a) Set some common arguments for all of my servlets at once, like:
          servlets.default.initArgs = pooluser=someuser, poolpwd=somepwd
          or
          weblogic.httpd.initArgs.* = pooluser=someuser, poolpwd=somepwd
          b) Read initArgs, added to the *.JSP section, from within a JSP like the
          following:
          String login = config.getInitParameter("pooluser");
          or
          String login =
          getServletConfig().getServletContext().getInitParameter("pooluser");
          or
          String login = pageContext.getServletConfig().getInitParameter("pooluser");
          I'm currently using WL 4.5.1. Neither of the tryouts in problem b works.
          They all return "null".
          As you can probably see from the code-sniplets I'm trying to hide the
          WL-database-pool username and password from the programmer. It should not be
          hardcoded in the servlets / JSPs, but embedded in the weblogic.properties
          where it belong.

husbil,
I think generally speaking, servlets are the next generation of CGI scripts. As you mentioned, servlets are written in Java and CGI scripts are often written in Perl. The main difference between the two is that servlets can persist between requests, but CGI scripts cannot. Servlets are also more portable because of the whole platform-independence thing. In addition, when a request is made to a servlet, only a lightweight thread is spawned to handle the request, whereas each request to a CGI script can spawn a whole new process.
A JSP usually only handles the front-end aspects of Java-based web application. It'll be mostly HTML with a few snippets of Java code thrown in there to make your web page nice and dynamic. All the application logic should really be handled by the servlet, not the JSP, so I think that's why JSP's aren't really considered on the same page (no pun intended) as scripts and programs.
Does that help?

The relation of Servlet , bean and jsp

servlet can output to IE directly? I mean that design a servlet adding some code in the service method, compile it, input URL: localhost:8080/test/servletname, can I get result? (Tomcat, register servlet in web.xml)

yes that's the point!

Find out if an integer is a power of two - Servlet and JSP

Hy all,
I have to write the following programm using the servlet technology and jsp (with Bean).
"Read a number from the keyboard (through a html file that send the value to the java.class through GET) and find out if this number is a power of two and if it is print on the screen which power it is".
I know how to do the HTML part (the page where I input the value) and I also have an algorythm that checks if an integer is a number of two but I am not very sure how to implement this into a servlet or jsp (with Beans).
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Raul
public class PowerOfTwo {
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int n=0,limit=16; n<Math.pow(2, limit);n++)
if(isPowerOfTwo(n))
System.out.println(n);
private static boolean isPowerOfTwo(int n) {
double logNbase2 = Math.log(n)/Math.log(2);
int logNbase2Integer = (int) (Math.floor(logNbase2));
if(logNbase2-logNbase2Integer==0)
return true;
else
return false;
}

Yes, I know it's a messed up code down there. The value that I am trying to check if it is a power of two is sent via the variable "m" to the java class.
Can anyone correct this piece of code please?
Thank you in advance,
Raul

Servlet and JSP in OAS

I'm developing web application with OAS
4.0.8.1 and JDeveloper 3.0 and I want to call
JSP from servlet using "RequestDispatcher".
I downloaded JSP for OAS from www.olab.com.
In the Release note, there is a description
about RequestDispatcher, but I cannot
understand about details.
In what configuration can I use servlet and
JSP together with RequestDispatcher. Anyone
scceeded about that?

I found a white paper 408newfead.pdf, that says under "Future

can't remember where exactly :( ) that said 4.0.8.1 would
support
JSPs. I don't know if this release is out yet.
I wish Oracle would get with the times and put out a product that
is consistent with the technology they are touting as the

Questions about Java Servlets and JSP

Hi,
I'm a confident Java Programmer (and really enjoy using this language) but am very new to Java servlets and Java Server Pages.
I have previously worked with Perl on my web projects (simple 'league' style voting pages). I read in my 'Core Java' book that I should no longer use perl or even cgi.
I need to know more about Java servlets and Java Server Pages so I can make the switch to a 'real' programming language.
I have a few questions:
How should I start to learn JS and JSP?
How applicable will the java knowlegdge I have already be?
Are JSP common on the world wide web?
What tools do I need to start? (I currently develop in JBuilder and have Java 1.4.1 Standard Edition)
Is it likey my web host (and others) will support JSP?
Thank-you very much for helping a novice get started,
Regards,

Hi, Steve ...has to be frustrating! But do not despair.
Let's suppose the servlet it's named MyServlet on package org.servlets
WEB-INF should look:
WEB-INF
classes
org
servlets
MyServlet.class
web.xml
web.xml file should have this two declarations:
<web-app>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.servlets.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/MyServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>Now, once the container starts (Tomcat?), you should be able to see that servlet in:
http://localhost:8080/[my-context/]MyServletAnd what my-context is? The web application context. This string should be empty if your're deploying to the root context, otherwise should the context name. In Tomcat, deploying to root context defaults to using webapps/ROOT.
Sorry for my English, but I felt the need to answer your request. I hope it helps despite my writing.

Serving Java Servlets and JSP

I have a small hosting company and was wondering what is required to be installed on a Win2k Server to host Java Servlets and JSP pages for a client of mine?

Ah, so you just want to add a servlet engine to IIS5?
Tomcat can be used as a plugin for IIS. Check out the Tomcat FAQs - somewhere in there you should find one relating to using Tomcat as an IIS plugin. They're far more comprehensive than I could ever hope to be on the matter!

InterMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs and Netscape

I am using the interMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs to upload and retrieve multimedia data. I have found that it is much more performant in Internet Explorer (5.5) than in Netscape Communicator (4.7). In fact, I cannot upload images larger than 10K at all using netscape. However, the same image can be uploaded into the same application using IE. Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We have successfully uploaded multimedia data in the giga-byte range (Quicktime and AVI files) at the same speed with both the Netscape (4.7n) and MS IE (4.n and 5.n) browsers. One thing we have noticed is that its very important to set the manual proxy settings correctly if you have an environment with a proxy server. If you don't, then uploads can go via the proxy server and, for some reason, that seems to take considerably longer. For example, suppose you are in the www.xyzco.com domain and are connecting to a host named webserver.www.xyzco.com, then specify webserver and webserver.www.xyzco.com (to cover both cases) in the "Do not use proxy servers for..." box in the manual proxy server configuration screen. Also, if you're using a tool such as JDeveloper that uses the host IP address in the debugger environment, then you also need to add the numeric-based (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) IP address to this list.
Hope this helps.
In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected] Thank you!

Differences between WL or Netscape for Servlets and JSP's

What are the advantages / disadvantages of running Servlets under WL,
          vs. say, running them in Netscape's servlet engine? Assuming EJB
          container is run separately, either one of these could make calls to the
          WL EJB server, so perhaps it would be simpler and faster to run servlets
          and JSP's under Netscape, and have them call via t3 into a weblogic
          server for EJB's?

David,
          One of the major reasons to run your servlets on Weblogic is that we have an
          optimization that allows us to pass by reference objects when calling from
          servlets to EJB. This makes things much faster.
          A number of our customers, in addition, have seen performance problems when
          using other servlet engines. It just seems to cause problems due to their
          threading models etc.
          Finally, our servlet engine is by far the most mature and robust on the
          market today. Our JSP implementation is also the best in terms of
          performance.
          Thanks,

Hi, i've a question, how to comunicate from servlet to a JSP and viceversa?

i would like to know how to do this and if its possible an example i'll appretiate it much. thanks

You have a mechanism called "forwarding", with which you can pass control from one resource (servlet/jsp) to another resource (servlet/jsp). You do this using a RequestDispatcher, which you can get from the HttpServletRequest object. If for example you want to forward to "index.jsp" which is in the root of your web application, you would do this in your servlet:
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);
return;(watch the return statement, you must manually return after a forward, or else the servlet will continue executing!). A forward will NOT create a new request, the same request is passed to the new resource (to create a new request, use a redirect in stead, also done with the RequestDispatcher).
To pass objects between the two resources when doing a forward, use request.setAttribute(), request.getAttribute() and jsp:useBean.
