Tomcat 5.5.23: SessionBean & ApplicationBean init() methods not firing

My JSC projects will not work on Tomcat 5.5.23 because ApplicationBean init() and the SessionBean init() are not firing.
The projects work OK on Weblogic 8.1 and the JSC dev server.
I have followed the instructions given in
http://developers.sun.com/docs/jscreator/help/2update1/deploy/howtodeploy/deploy_tomcat.html
AND
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/DeploymentOnExternalTomcatforNB6
AND have added:
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
</listener>
to my web.xml files but no success.
This problem has been raised before but unfortunately no solution is given. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5137210
Can someone please help?
Thanks

One of our engineers got a chance to investigate this further. It turns out to be a bug with Tomcat (5.5.20+).
Please refer to:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42354
The workaround now would be to place your app in a directory that contains no spaces.
As per the tomcat bug eval:
Fixed in svn and will be included in 5.5.24 onwards.Let us know if the workaround works? We'll update the netbeans tomcat wiki with the above mentioned information.

JSC on Tomcat 5.5.20 - Session/Applicaton Bean events not firing

Hi,
I am running a JSC app on Tomcat 5.5.20.
Session and application bean events init and destroy are not firing.
they work fine on my development machine using the Sun App server..
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
This is actually a Tomcat bug that was introduced from versions 5.5.20 and higher.
If you create your application in a path that contains spaces you will encounter this problem.
The workaround is to create your application at a path with no spaces.
Here's the bug on Tomcat's website:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg37222.html
It should be fixed in Tomcat 5.5.24
You won't even need to create a listener or add any jar files.
Hope this helps

Backing file init method always called for proxy portlets

Hello,
We are currently using Weblogic Portal 10 MP1. Deployed within our Portal EAR is a local proxy portlet and attached to this proxy portlet is a backing file, which currently implements the init() and prerender() methods from the backing interface.
When this is placed in a page that is within a desktop, the init() method is always invoked no matter which page you access within the desktop. As I understand it from the documentation, if you have "tree optimization" turned on, then the init() method will only be called when rendering the actual page the proxy portlet is in. But this doesn't seem to be the case. However, if I define a standard Java portlet within the EAR and attach a backing file, then the init() follows the rules when tree optimization is turned on or off.
Does anyone know if this is a defect within the portal framework, or is this expected and proxy portlets do not follow this rule?
And I guess, if it is a defect or known limitation, is there a possible workaround? I assume the simplest workaround will be to move the logic into the prerender() method.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,
Tree optimization is a tricky thing- some portlets may still be initialized even when the page they are on isn't visible. The rules for which get initialized and which don't are very complicated and depend on a number of things, so it is just best to not rely on the init() method not getting called.
By far the best option for your use-case is to have the proxy portlet listen to the "onRefresh" event, and move the logic from the backing file's init() method into an event-handling method in the backing file, then have this method called when the refresh event is received. Here's a sample portion of the .portlet file for doing this:
<netuix:handlePortalEvent event="onRefresh" eventLabel="onRefreshEvent">
<netuix:invokeBackingFileMethod method="handleRefreshEvent"/>
</netuix:handlePortalEvent>The "onRefresh" event is sent to the portlet only when it is visible on the page, so it should work perfectly for your use-case.

Urgent....How can i redirect to my jsp page from servlet in init() method..

How can i redirect to my jsp page from servlet in init() method..Becoz that servlet is calling while server startsup..so im writing some piece of code in init() method..after that i want to redirect to some jsp page ...is it possible?
using RequestDispatcher..its not possible..becoz
RequestDispatcher rd = sc.getRequestDispatcher("goto.jsp");
rd.foward(req,res);
Here the request and response are null objects..
So mi question can frame as how can i get request/response in servlet's init method()..

Hi guys
did any one get a solution for this issue. calling a jsp in the startup of the servlet, i mean in the startup servlet. I do have a same req like i need to call a JSP which does some data reterival and calculations and i am putting the results in the cache. so in the jsp there in no output of HTML. when i use the URLConnection i am getting a error as below.

Empty init() methods

I am currently working on and cleaning up (old) Java servlet code that I inherited from another collegue. In a lot of the servlets, I find empty init() methods like:
public void init() {
}As a novice to Java servlets, I have just been reading the First Edition of Jason Hunter's 'Java Servlet Programming' book. There, on page 59 it is stated that every servlet's init() method should call super.init(config) as its first action. I was wondering if I could simply remove the empty init() methods that I encounter in the servlets... If i remove them, the init() method of the superclass will get called... and the behaviour of the superclass init() might be slightly different than an emtpy init() method... isn't it? But I wonder if it will make a big deal for my application...
Are there any possible side effects to expect here? What could probably happen if remove the empty init() methods and consequently start using the init() method from the superclass?

OK. Yesterday, I cleaned up all empty init() methods, now it's time for cleaning up all unnecessary init(ServletConfig cfg) methods. In the servlet code that i inherited from a collegue, I find a lot of servlets containing the following:
    public void init(ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException {
        super.init(cfg);
    }In the meanwhile, i know that we are using Tomcat 5.5 as a container, so I looked into the Tomcat HttpServlet implementation and I found no init(ServletConfig cfg). I then looked at GenericServlet where i found:
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        this.config = config;
        this.init();
    }and since the init() method also doesn't do much, i think i can safely remove all
    public void init(ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException {
        super.init(cfg);
    }methods in our own servlets... since what they do is actually just the same as the init(ServletConfig cfg) method from GenericServlet.
Can somebody who is more experienced in Java Servlets than me confirm?
Thanks!

Why does SunOne 6.1 call servlet init() method twice on startup

Hi,
SunOne6.1 sp 5 is running my servlet's init() method twice when I put load-on-startup in the web-xml file. Is this a known problem and is there a work around as no amount of synchronising seems to work.
I'm running 2.3.dtd for the default_web.xml file and my entries look like this :-
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RelatisLogin</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.MyServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>7</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
This init method only contains a basic check at the moment :-
public void init()
System.out.println("init.....");
If I take <load-on-startup> away and run the server then call the servlet via the url it only runs init once.
I've tried synchronizing the block but this doesn't work.
The synchonization code I used looks like this:-
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
synchronized( AnotherClass.staticString )
if ( AnotherClass.staticString.length() > 0 ) return;
System.out.println( AnotherClass.staticString.length() );
AnotherClass.staticString = "init has been called";
try
int i = 0;
i = i/i;
} catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
The declaration of "AnotherClass.staticString" is :-
public static String staticString = "";
The output of "System.out.println( AnotherClass.staticString.length() );" is 0 and displayed twice.
I deliberately cause a divide by zero error to get a stack trace so that i can determine what called init(), the stack trace is printed twice and is always :-
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

It looks like SunOne starts then calls init() and then restarts and calls init() again.
The same code and same web.xml entries work fine in Tomcat 5, init() only every gets called once.
Any ideas? Can I post this as a bug?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris.

Sorry to have not replied to this thread earlier.....forgot all about it.
The reason init was being called twice by IPanet (Sun One) is IPanet comes with a default context called "Search" already in server.xml file.
This context was loading all the classes on my class path and this causing "init" to run. Then my context entry also loaded all the files in the class path.
Quite why Sun include this "Search" context is beyond me......annoying. If you take it out the the problem goes away.
Basically if you leave this in then your running to web servers (JVM's) your one and Sun's stupid "Search" one. As they are separate JVM's no amount of synchronisation would ever fix it.

How to modify build.xml ant to invoke a static init method when building?

Hello,
I´d like to make it as such that when I select to build and clean project in netbeans it calls a specific static init method in one of the project classes (which actually generates the database file). //for that purpose that code is only needed there. Is it possible?

hi.. please help me with this problem...
i need to execute tomcat server using my ant build file... but how can i do that if the tomcat server is located in other PC... i tried the exec task, but it seems to be not enough... the server doesn't run on the other pc but my it seems fine on my console.
by the way, here's my code...
<target name="run_tomcat">
<exec dir="${src.dir}" executable="cmd">
<arg line="/c startup.bat" />
</exec>
<echo message="tomcat successfully running!!!"/>
</target>
my src.dir has value in the properties file which contains the mapped directory. please tell me.. is it really possible to run a program in other PC using my build file in my PC...
please....please....please....please.... heeeelllpppp!!!!
tnx a lot!!!!

Monitoring progress of init() method in servlet

the init() method of my servlet is extremely long; it will probably take several minutes to load. For this reason, I want to have my servlet print its progress periodically. Unfortunately, when initializing a servlet, Tomcat does not allow the System.out.println() method to do anything.
Is there a way to tell tomcat to print something to the screen while it is initializing the servlets?

You can write jamon monitors after each event that occurs in the init method. Then if you go to the jamonadmin page you can see the progress. You will find many other uses for jamon too. One thng that it does real well is to allow you to look at what is currently executing in your web application via the jamonadmin page.
It is easy to use. Really just 2 methods: start and stop. see below. You should be able to get it working in minutes.
jamon is an open source project. Also if you use the servlet filter it will keep stats such as hits, and time stats (avg, total, min, max) and more.
import com.jamonapi.*;
// i'm not sure of the actual signature name, but this should give you the point.
public void init() {
Monitor mon=MonitorFactory.start("executing Part1 Of Init")
... part 1...
mon.stop();
Monitor mon=MonitorFactory.start("executing Part2 Of Init")
... part 2...
mon.stop();To get jamon go to www.jamonapi.com. There is also a live program that lets you see the JAMonAdmin.jsp page in action.

Init() method is executing twice

Hi,
I have a servlet & implemented the init() method. But, the init() method is executing twice.
Also, the destroy() method is executing twice.
Any input guys.
Thanks

JAXMServlet most certainly IS an HttpServlet - the javadocs that I see say it extends HttpServlet. It won't be very useful in a SOAP implementation if it's not.
I thought the SingleThreadModel interface. Why? I thought that was a bad practice that was discouraged. What writable data members does this "test" servlet have that require such careful treatment? If your servlet implements doGet and doPost methods, with only local variables, it'll be thread-safe enough.
I follow the Sun Java coding standards, even for dash-off classes. "test" should be capitalized. Is there no more descriptive name you can think of?
I'm not aware of a problem with Tomcat, and I haven't checked the bug list. But I'd put my money on your code being the problem here. Do you call super.init() in your servlet's init() method? Maybe you're seeing the superclass init() being called?

Why there are two init methods?

I copied this code from netbeans for a JApplet.. and it has two init methods
One is public void init() that calls another initComponents() method.
And the initComponents() method has all the components defined in it, and it is private.
I replaced private with public and changed initComponents to init, and then deleted all the init method, it worked that way.
But why there two methods when you can put every thing in single init() method?
The init() method has this code in it:
public void init() {
        try {
            java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    initComponents();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
    }

BDLH:
WWJD? Probably code in Ruby, but I digress. No, he would define an abstract base for that boilerplate code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public abstract class AbstractApplet extends JApplet {
     public void init() {
          try {
               EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                         initComponents();
          } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
     protected abstract void initComponents();
     //ditto: start, stop, distroy
}

The Init() method of abstract pagebean always it excute, and i lost data.

Hi,
I have applicaction to buid in NetBean 6.1 and JDK 1.6 using Visual Web Java Server Pages. This application to present a view that have a 2 calendar component, 1 dropdownlist, button component and table component.
The table component show rows where calendar1.date > date1 and calendar2.date < date2 and estado(DropDownList)= status1
In the init() method of abstractpagebean i set de initial calendar's date that follow
java.util.Calendar dateAntes = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
java.util.Calendar date = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
dateAntes.add(java.util.Calendar.MONTH, -1);
GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(2000, 11, 20);
//tablePhaseListener = getSessionBean1().getTablePhaseListener();
calendar1.setSelectedDate(dateAntes.getTime());
calendar2.setSelectedDate(date.getTime());
With this initial dates dates i show the table row thw follow
String command = "SELECT ALL codreqgmc, fechareq,cliente.nomclie,estado.Descripcion as Estado, " +
"requerimiento.codtecnico, requerimiento.rutclie, requerimiento.codestado " +
"FROM requerimiento,cliente,estado " +
"WHERE requerimiento.rutclie=cliente.rutclie and requerimiento.codestado=estado.codestado and fechareq>=" + "'" + formatoFecha.format(calendar1.getSelectedDate()) + "'" +
"AND fechareq<=" + "'" + formatoFecha.format(calendar2.getSelectedDate()) + "'";
try {
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoRowSet().setCommand(command);
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoRowSet().getCommand();
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoDataProvider().refresh();
} catch (Exception e) {
error("No puede levantar comando");
log("Cannot switch to person " +
estados.getSelected().toString(), e);
The DropDownList implement the ProcessValueChange Event with AutoSubmit On Change properties. At Change choise of DropDown List Component it trigger a event that and execute estados_processValueChange method that to show a table rows accord to the new filter (include the new calendar date if necessary that follow:
String command = "SELECT ALL codreqgmc, fechareq,cliente.nomclie,estado.Descripcion as Estado, " +
"requerimiento.codtecnico, requerimiento.rutclie, requerimiento.codestado " +
"FROM requerimiento,cliente,estado " +
"WHERE requerimiento.rutclie=cliente.rutclie and requerimiento.codestado=estado.codestado and fechareq>=" + "'" + formatoFecha.format(calendar1.getSelectedDate()) + "'" +
"AND fechareq<=" + "'" + formatoFecha.format(calendar2.getSelectedDate()) + "'";
try {
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoRowSet().setCommand(command + " AND requerimiento.codestado =" + "'" + (String) estados.getSelected() + "'");
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoRowSet().getCommand();
getSessionBean1().getRequerimientoDataProvider().refresh();
} catch (Exception e) {
error("No puede levantar comando");
log("Cannot switch to person " +
estados.getSelected().toString(), e);
The Table component have a column of checkbox type for select a particular(s) row(s). With a Button it to choose all the rows that has been to set checkbox, in the session bean to save this selected rows and link to another page that show the details about seletec rows.
The Problem
Every time that i press the button, after to the select the rows, for another page showme detail, this page is empty because it execute the init method before the button_action, to re initialize and erase the user selection and lost it
I try with another component that trigger event, por exmaple dropdownlist, and it the same, even to press the pagin in teh table it execute init meth, re-initialize and erase all.
Result prove
1.- I execute the application for first time:
 Execute Init()
2.- I Chage choos en the DropDownList
 Execute Init() and
 after estado_processValueChange()
3.- I change choos again in the DropDownList
 Execute Init() and
 after estado_processValueChange()
4.- I press pagin button in table
 Execute Init()
5.- I press button detail, for detail
 Execute Init() ----> I reinitialize and lost the user select.
 after Butoon_action
How ia can to preven that every time it execute init(),
Why alway it execute init method?, the init methd() is for initialize application and not RE INTIALIZED
Why is the relation INIT(); PREPROCESS(), PRERENDER(), PROCESSVALUECHANGE, BUTTON_ACTION. What it execute first, what secodn?
I need execute init method only one , at first time
I hope i undertandme, i not native english.
Thank for advance

Anupama,
Do you mean init or wdDoInit? You cannot call the later as well as you cannot call any WD-framework methods that start with "wd" prefix.
By the way, wdDoInit in component controller (do not confuse with custom controller or interface controller) is called before any other method in any controller. So I hardly believe that it is not called when your view become available.

LDAP Context Initialization Problem in a Servlet's Init method

Hi
I have a servlet where I am using the InitialDirContext to Initialize context to a LDAP Server. I have created the context as a static variable. I am initializing the context in the init method and am using the same reference in the service method of the servlet. But if the context fails (due to naming exception and time out) in the init method all my requests in the service method will fail. Is there any way to validate the reference before using the same in the service method.
Also what is the best approach to initialize the context in a servlet. Whether to initialize in the service method or the init method.
I would appreciate if anyone can answer the above 2 queries.
Thanks in advace,
Ashish

If you want to use threadsafe objects in doPost/doGet there are two common ways to do this.
First, create the object in doPost/doGet. This may get expensive depending on the object, but it is 'easy' code and works.
The second option is to create a pool of objects in the servlet's init() method and to just have doPost/doGet get an object from the pool, use it and return it when done. This take a little more work to code, but the overhead of creating objects is almost eliminated. Look at jakarta/apache commons pool for a quick way to do this.
If you create on object in init() and use it in doPost/doGet, any time you get two request for the same servlet at the same time you will have synchronization issues that will usually cause problems. There is one instance of each Servlet, so all request for that servlet go through the single instance. Anything in doPost/doGet must be threadsafe.

How to call server event in DO INIT method of view

Folks,
I have declared a server event in the view and when I am trying to call that event in DO INIT method of view , it is not firing the event .

public void wdDoInit()
 //@@begin wdDoInit()
 // set icon file names
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setIconLeftArrow("topLvlScrollerLeft.gif");
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setIconRightArrow("topLvlScrollerRight.gif");
 // hide display when errors during startup
 if(wdContext.currentContextElement().getErrorDuringInit())
 wdThis.wdFirePlugOutEmpty();
 wdThis.wdGetDaylyChangeModeAction();

I have created a action event
 public void onActionDaylyChangeMode(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
 //@@begin onActionDaylyChangeMode(ServerEvent)
 wdThis.wdGetVcCatRecordEntryInterfaceController().blcEvent(VcCatRecordEntry.ACTION_CHANGE_MODE);
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setSelectedTab("TabCatRecordEntryDay");
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setTemp("Changed Tab");
 //@@end

That's why it sucks to be tied up to an ide feature. Do not extend your beans from a phaselistener. You need sth like;
