Url change with servlet to jsp

Hi,
i guess i have a small problem-
i am using this code to forward from a servlet to a jsp:
protected void passProcessing(String url, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
          RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher(url);
          try { rd.forward(req, res); }
          catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println(getServletName()
                    + " : Dispatch Forward Error : " + e); }
The link and everything is right.
My Problem: The URL doesnt change- it is still the url with the invokung servlet. The result is that some included gifs in the jsp are not shown.
Thanx in Advance
Robert

put a
<base href="http://your.server.com/yourWebapp">inside your head definition of the htmls and use only relative urls for your gifs and it will work, no matter where you redirect from.

Creating FOrums with Servlet and JSP

Hi everyone,
Is there a good resource that explains how to build a forum using servlets and JSP technology?
Regards,
Basil Mahdi

please let me know here if you find any useful resources...I am in the process of writing my own searchable threaded forum for my company with JSP's/servlets. It's a very slow process at the moment though...if I ever finish it, I'll gladly share it.

Problems with Servlet to JSP communication please help!!!

Hello All ,
we have different web applications running
e.g.
We have 2 webApp named A and B are running and there URL are
http://localhost:8080/A and
http://localhost:8080/B
and we have one common WebApp running at
http://localhost:8080/common
Our problem is that whenever a user log in to the system he/she will first call the
common URL and then enter his user name and password
and depending on his username we have redirect user to either A or B with his pasword and username as parameter to the request.
i.e. in common module whenever i get userName and password we call a Servlet to authenticate the user and to detemine which webapp to forward to..
i have to call jsp accordingly from servlet in common webApp to JSP in different webapp.
I m wonderning how it is possilble.
As
i don't know how to call another webApp using
RequestDispatcher.forward () method and
also
i am not able to set paramters with the request whenever i user response.sendRedirect() method
I am wondering what could be the way to pass paramer to the request from servlet in one webApp to JSP in another webApp
Please help its urgent!!!
thankx in advance

forward() can't call another webapp.
There are several ways you could do this.
1) Share the session object across both webapps and set something as an attribute of the session.
2) Use a database or file storage to record the transaction, then go to the second webapp, which picks up that info.

AppMod pooling with Servlets and JSPs

Issue:
I have a servlet that I need to do some work on a BC4J View Object (myVO), like set the where clause, execute, etc. I want to perform these actions in the servlet, and then forward on to a .jsp page (mypage.jsp). Then I want to use the BC4J Data Tag library to present the data. Normally, the AppMod tag would be used to get ahold of an AppMod, but in my case, I want to use the specific AppMod that I prepared inside the servlet that forwarded to mypage.jsp.
I have looked through the BC4J Data Tag library and it appears that the data tags are getting the AppMod from the page context. I looked at the AppMod tag and I couldn't see exactly where it was sticking the AppMod into the page context, but when I looked at the DataSource tag, it was retrieving the AppMod from the page context. Therefore, I am assuming the AppMod tag is sticking it into the page context.
What I would like to be able to do is perform some work on the AppMod in my servlet, then forward to a .jsp. Once in the .jsp, I would like to reference the AppMod without having to use the AppMod tag, but reference the AppMod directly from the DataSource tag. This would allow me to completely manage the AppMod interaction in my servlet, thus centralizing that logic and avoiding multiple check-ins/check-outs of the AppMod. I could also avoid using stateful management of the AppMod.
Any insights would be much appreciated!
Thx,
Eric

Help with servlet and JSP

I am creating a web application that allows users to submit questions and answers to a database. The users can also specify a number of questions and take a randomly generated test from the questions that have been submitted to the database. Currently, I am having trouble figuring out how to generate the test and then grade it. I was thinking I would use a question page that displayed a random question and its answers, allowed the user to answer the question and submit it, and then have the page reload with a new random question from the database. After the user has answered the number of questions they specified, then it would go to a results page with the percent and grade. I'm having trouble figuring out a servlet for the test generation. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Using JMX with servlets

          HI all,
          i have an app implemented with servlets and JSP using Model 2 architecture.
          i have a requirement to make
          some initialization properties of my servlet configurable without restarting
          the server.
          i was thinking of wrap all the config parameter in a ConfigWrapper object which
          can be exposed as MBean in
          weblogic JMX servlet.
          can anyone give me some feedback? is that possible? what are the tradeoffs?
          - of course, the BIG constraint - which can be tolerated - is that any modification
          is not done under heavy workload.
          the big point is that we want to avoid to restart the server all the time.
          anyone can comment?
          thanx in advance and regards
          marco


ok, I found the answer from this URL http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jmx.html

The application is almost likely a shopping cart. So if any of you have the deep knowledge about this domain with servlets and jsp please help me for a good design. What I realy need to know is that
1. what are the core requirements for a shoping cart ?
2. use cases ?
3. best way to follow mvc with servlets and jsp for it?
you can answer to this at the abstract level. no need to go in detail.

Swings with servlets

Hi,
how we can use swings with servlets or jsps.
or
how we can display the browser in the swings.
please give me a valid answer with examples.

Hi,
Your question is not clear... are you trying to display HTML using swing components or are you trying to use swing in a server-side application?
Some Swing components (e.g. JLabel) natively support simple html, so:
JLabel lbl = new JLabel("<html>hello <b>world</b></html>");would result in a JLabel that looks with the word "world" in bold. If you need also frames, css and javascript support - you'll need to reach for a 3^rd^ party library, I'm afraid.
As for using swing in servers, look at this article:
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2006/04/20/bringing-swing-to-the-web.html
If you meant neither, please explain more.
Hope this helps, though.

How to get the query values from the url in a servlet and pass them to jsp

ok..this is the situation...
all applications are routed through a login page...
so if we have a url like www.abc.com/appA/login?param1=A&param2=B , the query string must be passed onto a servlet(which is invoked before the login page is displayed)..the servlet must process the query string and then should pass all those values(as hidden values) to the login jsp..then user enters username and pswd, then there should be another servlet which takes all the hidden values of jsp and also username and pswd, authenticates the user and sends the control back to that particular application along with the hidden values...
so i need help on how to parse the query string from the original url in the servlet, pass it out to jsp, and then pass it back to the servlet and back to the original application...damnn...any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks

ok..this is the situation...Sounds like you have a bad design on your hands.
You're going to send passwords in a GET request as clear text? Nice security there.
Why not start with basic security and work your way up?

Change protocol when redirecting a request for a servlet to jsp

Hello,
In my servlet, There is a line of code:
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/page.jsp").forward(request,response);
My question is: I'd like to change the current protocol (like http) to new protocol (like https) or versa vista before my servlet executes the above line.
Is this possible to implement that? If so, how can I do it?
If not implement, Is there any ways to convert back or forward between http and https protocols in java, servlet or jsp?
I did try to use window.location.href="protocol://myserver/..." in javascript to redirect the jsp page to the right protocol, but the session for the browser was lost, and the jsp page ran into infinite loop.
Thanks in advance for any helps.
Mike.

if (!request.isSecure()) response.sendRedirect("https://me.com/page.jsp");

This was recently upgraded from 11g and prior to the upgrade there were difficulties patching this agent. Because of that it was reinstalled in 12c. I have no clue what is causing the issue let alone how to resolve it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Bill Wagman

It's ok to have 11g agent and 12c agents up and running simultaneously and we do it all the time during migration from one to the other since they have to run on different ports (12c checks this at install ONLY IF the 11g agent it up and running when the 12c agent is being pushed out to the host).
Also, if EMDIAG is the only place you see 1830 port being reported, it may be becuase its doing a search for any agents currently installed on the server. So if you still have both the 11g agent and 12c agent installed, this should not be an issue that it it reporting that URL/port with 1830 for the 11g agent. Since you can't upgrade 11g agents to 12c, (its required to do a new install of 12c agent) you have to do a complete uninstall of the 11g agent first from the OEM 11g gui console, then at the inventory level where the inital 11g agent was installed, than you may still need to manually remove that 11g directory if your runInstaller did not remove it once its "uninstalled".

Problem with Sessions in JSP

Hi,
I am working on a JSP based website, where I am facing problem with sessions. The user is asked to login by providing her id and password. If found correct, a bean is created and populated with all her details and placed in session scope. I plan to use the information stored in the bean on other related pages until she logs out.
<jsp:useBean id="validUser" scope="session" class="UserBean" >
<c:set target="${validUser}" property="userId" value="${fn:trim(dbValues.UserId)}" />
<c:set target="${validUser}" property="userName" value="${fn:trim(dbValues.UserName)}" />
</jsp:useBean>
<c:redirect url="userHome.jsp" /> The user is presented her homepage - 'userHome.jsp', where she can find various links, like 'Update Profile', 'Pay Registration Fees', 'Book Room' etc. The information stored in the bean is available on 'userHome.jsp'page.
<A HREF='userHome.jsp'>Home</A>
<A HREF='editPersonal.jsp'>Update Profile</A>
<A HREF='registrationFee.jsp'>Pay Registration Fees</A>
<A HREF='bookRoom.jsp'>Book Room</A>
<A HREF='logout.jsp'>Logout</A> The problems are:
1. Whenever user clicks on any of the above mentioned links and moves to any page, the bean comes out as null.
<%-- Verify that the user is logged in --%>
<c:if test="${validUser == null}">
<jsp:forward page="loginForm.jsp">
<jsp:param name="origURL" value="${pageContext.request.requestURL}" />
<jsp:param name="errorMsg" value="You must be logged in to access this site." />
</jsp:forward>
</c:if> 2. The URL shows an additional jsessionid, which my client doesn't want to see.
3. On every click on any link, the value of this jsessionid changes.
What I presume, when I am clicking on different links, my session changes, and so I am seeing a different jsessionid. And since session is changing, therefore the bean is not available in a different session.
All this works fine with localhost, problem comes into picture, when I upload my pages to the server.
Puzzled, can anyone help, where am I going wrong? Let me add here, I am new to JSP and hence don't have much resources with me.

There are several ways sessions can be exchanged between the browser and the server in a j2ee web application.
1. The default is through cookies. However when the client does not accept cookies, the server appends the session id to the url.
2. Some servers also facilitate session information exchange using session id in the url even if the client does accept cookies. This is usually ahieved through a setting in some server configuration file.
You will have to find out why the server in your application is appending the session id to the url.
Whatever be the case, the server should be able to look up the session from the incoming request (be it from the session id in the url or a session cookie).
When session information is exchanged through the JSESSIONID in the url, you should ensure that each and every url that goes to the server has this input parameter. To do that all links and form post urls in your servlet/jsp should be treated with a call to encodeURL().
For example, in a jsp
   <a href = "<%=response.encodeURL("/nextJsp.jsp")%>">Click here </a>
or
   <form action = "<%=response.encodeURL("/nextJsp.jsp")%>">
   </form>etc.
ram.

Pass data from servlet to jsp using sendRedirect

Hi,
I am passing data from servlet to jsp using forward method of request dispatcher but as it doesn't change the url it is creating problems. When ever user refreshes the screen(browser refresh) it's re-loading both servlet and jsp, which i don't want to happen. I want only the jsp to be reloaded.
Can I pass data from servlet to jsp using sendRedirect in this case. I also want to pass some values from servlet to jsp but without using query string. I want to set some attributes and send to jsp just like we do for forward method of request dispatcher.
Is there any way i can send data using attributes(without using query string) using sendRedirect? Please let me know

sendRedirect is meant as a true redirect. meaning
you can use it to redirect to urls not in your
context....with forward you couldn't pass information
to jsps/servlets outside your own context.Actually, you can:
getServletContext().getContext("/other").getRequestDispatcher("/path/to/servlet").forward(request, response)I think the issue here is that the OP would like to have RequestDispatcher.forward() also update the address in the client's browser. That's not possible, AFAIK. By the time the request is forwarded, the browser has already determined the URL of the servlet, and the only I know of way to have the browser change the URL to the forwarded Servlet/JSP is to send a Location: header (i.e. sendRedirect()). Remember that server-side dispatching is transparent to the client. Maybe there's some tricky stuff you can do with JavaScript to change the address in the address bar without reloading the page?
