Session in JSF JSP page

Hi All,
I am using JSF JSP pages. One such page is login.jsp I have backing object backing_login
On successful login, listUser.jsp page is displayed. In this page, I have a HTML --- Commons Hyperlink component as follows.
<tr>
              <td height="17">
                <a href="http://129.212.139.36:8991/GeminiLogin-ViewController-context-root/faces/listUsers.jsp">
                  Manage Users
                </a>
                <afh:script binding="#{backing_createModify.script1}"
                            id="script1"/>
              </td>
            </tr>
Now the question:---
I do get to know the UserType in the backing_login object (either 'cma' or 'ea').
Now, if it is cma I want the above link tobe dispalyed in listUser.jsp else DO NOT display the link.
How can I do that ? I dont know, how to pass UserType information available in baking_login to the listUser.jsp and
second, how can conditionally use that info to either hide or display that hyperlink ?
Your help appreaciated.
thanks in advance

You can use an ADF Faces link component and condition the display attribute for it on the value of your backing bean
There are some samples of conditional display in the posts from Grant here:

'session' is undefined - javascript error in my JSF/JSP page

I have the following JSF/JSP page. In onLoad() I invoke a javascript function func(). In this method, I attempt to lookup an attribute from the Http Session. When I run my application, my page is loaded with but the icon on the lower left corner of the browser indicated that there was an error. When I viewed the error, it read : 'session' is undefined.
The 'session' variable is available in a JSP page.
So why does my code not work from within a JSF application.

Because :
Session.getAtrribute is java-code that can only run on the server
and
var y = session.getAttribute is javascript-code run on the client.

Create jsf jsp page / page implementation / third option is not visible

The third option (check box) for page implementation settings in the create jsf jsp page is not visible. The window is not resizable.

I see the option radio button and text "Automatically Expose UI Components in an Existing Managed Bean" that is disabled but i see only partially the label what is a disabled input text field i suppose just below the radio button.
I see also the Directory input field and Browse button a little bit truncated at the bottom (1-2 pixels missing).
I see also the Render in Mobile Device check box and combo box ... cutted by the half when i expand the page implementation part.
As said the window is not resizable.
Let me know a location i can send you a hard copy of the screen.

How to use Session scope in jsp page

Hello, I have login form, where user provides username and password. Then click on submit, it will forward to validation.jsp. Where it will check in database make sure username and password exit. Now i can also retrive accountid of perticular user. I want to put that username and accountid in session scope. so all other pages can use that username and accountid. How can i do that. I'm new at this, so please provide me example too. Here is my code for login.jsp and validation.jsp..
Validation.jsp
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
//String name = request.getParameter( "username" );//
//session.setAttribute( "accountID",accountID );//
<%
String connURL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@orca.csc.ncsu.edu:1521:ORCL";
     Connection conn = null;
     Statement stmt = null;
     ResultSet rs = null;
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();

How the hell does a person share session data between JSP page and a Servle

1. How the hell does one share session data between a servlet and a JSP page without using a bean but rather using a normal string variable.
2. When using session scope to access a bean the application complains about not finding the bean on the specified scope, however when I use an application scope the save the same bean, the application does find it.
Please help!!!!!!!
SERVLET:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
ServletContext servletContext = session.getServletContext();
customerID = result.getString("CustomerID");
userName = result.getString("UserName");
session.setAttribute("UserName",userName);
session.setAttribute("CustomerID",customerID);
System.out.println("Customer UserName = " + session.getAttribute("UserName"));
response.sendRedirect("/economics/subscriptions/default.jsp");
JSP PAGE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp=http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page mlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" xmlns:sql="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" version="2.0">

     <jsp:directive.include file="/economics/leftMenu.inc"/>
     
     <content>
     <searchSum>Commercial - Main Content</searchSum>
     Value = <c:out value="${request.session.getAttribute("UserName")}"/>
     </content>
     <jsp:directive.include file="/economics/rightNav.inc"/>
     <jsp:directive.include file="/footer.inc"/>
</page></pml></jsp:root>

For a start, just "session" instead of "request.session" would work better. But why did you post this here and not in the JSP forum? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Java programming.

Seting a JSp variable to session scope in JSp page itself

Hi,
I have code like this
<HTML>
     <HEAD>
          <TITLE>Change Password</TITLE>
          <LINK REL ="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="stylesheet/vclinical.css" TITLE="Style">

<select name="ss" onChange="this.form.qq.value=options[selectedIndex].value;getit()">
<option value=1>ss1</option>
<option value=2>ss2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="qq" value="">
<%
String asd=request.getParameter("qq");
session.setAttribute("Stored", asd);
System.out.println("value is"+asd);
%>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
here i want to set value of a JSP variable qq to session scope and here i am not invoking any servlet i want value of qq in next JSP page i am not submitting the page so how i can handle this. this code does not work so please tell me how to do this i am using struts frame work

if you are using the struts framework, then you can make an ActionForm with getters and setters for the stuff that you are writing in the JSP i mean the radio buttons and text boxes etc
from that action form you can get the values any time any where
you just need to enter some thing like below in the struts-config.xml file
<form-bean name="the action form name" type="package name.Actionform name" />
<action path="/controller " type="package name.controller name" name="Action form name" scope="session">
you can either put the action form in request scope or session scope

Session tracking in JSP pages

I've two pages in my web application which need regular refresh after a particular interval.I'm using
(session.setMaxInactiveTime) to check the session validation.& HTML's <META> tag to regularly refresh the page after particular interval.
On these two pages there are links to the different pages for which i'm opening a new window.
But i'm losing the session after some time & i'm not able to catch the source from where the session is getting invalidated.even when i'm using meta tag of html to refresh the page.
I'm also using HttpSessionEventListener Interface to know when the session.putValue & session.removeValue
functions are used.
I hope the problem is clear to you people.
an urgent help/suggestion will be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi,
it isn't easy see your problem. When you losing your session? When you hava open a link from your page i a new browser window (instance) and return?
Also check follow: when no validate session exist, a jsp open a new session, else you use <%@ page session="false" %>

Firefox Mobile sends "Android" in its browser identification. If the site is checking for that, then you should get a mobile page. If the site requires more, e.g., Chrome, Webkit, or some other text, then that's a problem because Firefox doesn't use those terms. With server-based redirection, you cannot see what the site is checking for.
For testing, or to work around sites not knowing about Firefox Mobile, you could try the Phony extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/mobile/addon/phony/

JDev 1014 JSF: difference between JSF JSP Page and JSF JSP Document ?

Hi all here ;)
I've been using the new JDev 1014 for some days now, find it very useful, but still... the help docs are not very helpful in one (minor) point: when you create a new JSF JSP item, you have to select either "JSP Page" or "JSP Document". Now, I see the difference in the created code, but what's the difference in it's usage?
thanx in advance
Thomas Nagel

Thomas,
there is none. Its just that the document has an XML format and the page is a typical JSP page. Its nothing specific in JDeveloper and just a matter of taste I guess.

Strategy for integrating JSF/JSP with EJB?

Both JSF/JSP and EJB seem to be developing independently of each other. What is a good strategy for integrating them? I'm not sure how access my entity/session beans from my web pages.

Follow the MVC architecture. Don't access EJB's from JSF/JSP pages. Here are some basic rules to follow.
1) never put java code in JSP's. JSP's are for viewing data only. They should never contain business logic nor be tied to the business tier.
2) JSP's should always send HTTP requests to servlets. Use the servlets to control the flow of the application and make decisions on which JSP should be returned to the client. Make calls to the EJB's from the servlet to perform business logic.

Junk characters like" � � "displayed in the jsp page please help.

Hi,
I am getting junk characters like � � displayed in the jsp page.
In the JSP page i used javascript "& nbsp" for appending spaces to a string "CCR" to get "CCR " .
Now the Resultant string "CCR " has three spaces appended to its right.
This String is set in session in that JSP page.
In the next JSP page i am getting that string from session.
After getting the string the "substring" function is performed to get only the first 5 charcters of the string. Now the result is displayed as " CCR� � " with has last 2 characters as junk values � � insteed of displaying as "CCR ". Please help me in solving this issue.
Please note that initially the sting "CCR" is got from the Oracle database in Solaris Machine.
Regards,
Vijay

have you tried:
strenuously inspecting the string that is coming from the db? do an actual loop over the string, character by character, dumping to System.out to make sure the characters are EXACT coming out of the db.
note you have to append " " not just "& nbsp"
post the code that is doing the output. the relevant bean code, the jsp, everything relevant - WITH COMMENTS discussing where things are happening.
Also, is it "weird characters" in the browser only? have you done a view source on the actual html source that the browser is rendering (right click in IE and click view source). browsers can act odd if you don't feed then exactly what they want, and it looks like you're feeding it escaped characters that it is rendering as something else.

Problem accessing session variable from jsp

Hi!
I get an error retrieving a session variable from inside a JSP declaration scriptlet....
Something like this code in a JSP page:
<%!
public void funtion1() {
String parameter1 = session.getAttribute("parameter1");
%>I have seen that I have available getContextServer() method and from there I could call getAttribute("parameter1") . But the thing is that the attribute I want to retrieve was stored in session by another Jsp page.
Any solutions are welcome
Cheers
Victor

Appropriately the above is one the reasons also You cannot use JSP implicit objects from the declaration tag. However we can think of a small workaround by passing the reference like the one discussed below
<%!public void funtion1(HttpSession session) {
String parameter1 = session.getAttribute("parameter1").toString();
}%>
<% funtion1(session);%>Hope that helps :)
REGARDS,
