URL writing and Cookie

Can you use both methods for maintaing the session id in a web application.
For example, use session id from the cookie in most cases and in some case use the id from URL and bind the request to session.
Is it possible to do it ?

If you take a look at the API http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/index.html for javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL()
it says the following
Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL
unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID
needs to be encoded in the URL. For example, if the browser supports cookies, or session tracking is
turned off, URL encoding is unnecessary.
For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise,
URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.Thus it will ONLY add the id from URL if it detects that the browser does not support cookies.

  • Sessions, URL Rewriting, and Cookies

    First some background, then some questions:
              BACKGROUND
              I have written an application framework to use with JSP/EJB/Servlet
              based applications. This framework does URL rewriting
              (response.encodeUrl) for all URLs generated by the application, and I
              have URL-based session support turned on in WebLogic.
              Despite the fact that my browser is set to support cookies on my test
              machines, I have noticed that intermittently the URL rewriting to
              support session IDs kicks in. Then, later, it goes away again. This
              would seem to indicate that the client browsers are (for no apparent
              reason) deciding to occasionally not support sessions with cookies, so
              that the server has to step in and do URL writing instead.
              QUESTIONS
              1. Has this sort of behavior been reported by anyone else?
              2. Is there a servlet/JSP API anywhere that I can call on a per-HTTP
              transaction basis to see if the browser that is participating in the
              transaction is at that moment supporting cookies?
              3. There are times when my framework needs to delete a cookie by setting
              its maxAge to 0. Most of time time this works, but (as with the session
              ID/URL rewriting above) occasionall the cookie does not get deleted on
              the client brower machine. This screws up some of the application logic
              that I have in the framework. Is this related to the problems listed
              above?
              CONCLUSION
              Any and all information is appreciated, from anyone. Thanks!
              Chris
              

              Hi,
              To answer your question #1, yes I have seen this behaviour, and
              the explanation I feel is as follows.
              1] You access a resource on WL Server & it starts a session, at
              this moment it is not sure whether the browser supports cookies
              so it uses both methods, URL Writing & cookies to store the session
              ID
              2] On the next request, it tries to read the cookie, if it is able
              to read it that means cookies are enabled and there is no need
              to continue with URL Rewriting else it continues wioth URLRewriting.
              To answer Question #2, you can follow a procedure similiar to above
              to find out if browser supports cookies, ie set a cookie & in the
              next request try to read teh value.
              As far as Question #3 is concerned, try setting the magAge to -12
              hours insteda of 0 so that there is no problem even in case of
              a time difference.
              hope this helps

  • Cookies, URL-Rewriting, and Sessions

    Hi All,
    I am aware that this is probably a question that has been asked many times in the past. Nonetheless, I have not been able to fully comprehend the differences. Therefore I would appreciate it, if someone could kindly spend some time explaining the differences between the three and when each would be the most preferred solution. ( cookies, url rewriting and sessions )
    So far what I understand is that, cookies can be used to store small amounts of data not more than 4kb, and that most browsers can not accept more than 20 at a time.... but would it be correct to say that the data is stored within the http headers ?
    URL rewriting, on the other hand is a method which can be used if cookies have been disabled by a browser. The 'session id' is appended to the url, and used to remember the data. ( how ? ). Although, it does mean that the programmer has to be very careful and ensure that rewriting occurs everytime it is passed to the browser, including redirection. ( whatever that means ? )
    Http sessions, seem to be the best solution out of the three ( but if this is the case, why are cookies and rewriting still hanging around today ? And even being taught at universities ? ). Also, they work on top of cookies and if these have been disabled sessions will not work !! ....
    As you can see ( from the above ) I do not have a thorough understanding of the three methods, especially if it comes to specifying the differences between the three.
    I would appreciate an explanation.

    HttpSessions use cookies or url rewritting to pass the session id which the server uses to associate a particular session with a particular request. A well developed web application will be written to use url rewriting when a client has cookies disabled. That being said I yet to see such a web application and personally believe that few people still disable cookies.
    Cookies still have uses.
    Persistant cookies are used to store data that needs to persist between sessions. This data is stored by the browser in a text files and passed to the server in the header. An example of this would be a site that offers personalization would store the user's id so that each time the user accesses the site he would see his personalization without being required to log in. Yahoo is a good example.
    In memory cookies are stored in the browser's memory and is used to store temporary data that goes away when the browser closes. Again this data gets passed to the server in the headers. Temporary cookies can be used to pass data between seperate web applications runing on the same host where storing the data in the session will not because each application has it's own session.

  • Problem with writing and reading using serialization

    I am having a problem with writing and reading an object that has another object in it. The purpose of the class is to write a order that has multiple items in it. And there will be several orders. This is for an IB project, where one of the requirements is to utilize a hierarchical composite data structure. That is, it is "one that contains more than one element and at least one of the elements is a composite data structure. Examples are, an array or linked list of records, a record that has one field that is another record, or an array". The code is shown below:

  • Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

    Hi,
    I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
    I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
    now,
    1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
    2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
    3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
    then, the first question is :
    Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
    and,
    1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
    2. please review the script for me.
    3. I did:
    SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
    HTTP response status code: 401
    HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized
    Please supplied the required Basic authentication username/password for realm XDB for the Web page.
    Web page http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/ is protected.
    MS-Author-Via: DAV
    DAV: 1,2,<http://www.oracle.com/xdb/webdav/props>

    Content-Type: text/html; charset=GBK
    Content-Length: 147
    ======================================
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
    4. I also did :
    SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ANONYMOUS','ANONYMOUS');
    HTTP response status code: 500
    HTTP response reason phrase: Internal Server Error
    Check if the Web site is up.

    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: 147
    WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="APEX"
    ======================================
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
    my second questions is :
    Q2: After I entered into realm 'XDB', I still need went into realm'APEX'. how could I change the script show_url to accomplish these two tasks and successfully get the cookie from site.
    the show_url script is as following:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_url
    (url IN VARCHAR2,
    username IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    password IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)

    I use oracle database enterprise edtion 10.2.0.3. I have already figured out the epg on 10.2.0.3 to support apex 3.2.
    And as I described above, the apex site works fine for ip address , and localhost. but the cookie will be blocked by IE6, if I want to access the site by 'http://computername:port/apex/apex_admin'. This problem does not occured in firefox and google browser. Could someone give me answer?

    I can go to every other website except for facebook. I try every other browser in my computer but the only thing I can see is HTTP 500 error and 404 Not Found. I tried clearing cache history and cookies, enabling cookies, checking my modem, make sure my firewall permits me to access this web and even pt 's' in front of 'http' but it still dosent work. I can go to facebook with my dad's laptop and my handphone but not with this computer, why?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.facebook.com

    Problem Resolved!
              I found out that I had 'http' instead of 'httpd' in the statement where I
              registered my servlet, SqlServlet.
              Now, I am having difficulty with hot deployment. The server is returning
              error 404.
              

  • I'm having to clear cache and cookies daily to have certain favorite websites appear normally - why does that intervention only work for a short period?

    I'm having to clear cache and cookies from the tools menu sometimes 2-3 times daily in order to make certain websites appear normally. The websites will have mostly script, which will be placed in columns, and very little in the way of graphics, maybe just a still picture of two. After I clear the cache and cookies, the sites go back to normal, but maybe after a few hours when I go back to the website it will re-appear as described above. The url below is the most commonly affected but it also happens on others like Yahoo news.

    In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
    #From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
    #Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
    #You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
    #To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button on PDF Viewer (what is this?). You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
    #Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
    You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

  • EncodeURL and cookies

    Can someone confirm or refute this:
    It appears that Tomcat is smart enough to know that some browsers have cookies enabled (from request headers, most likely) and thus don't bother with "encodeURL" requests, even though the Context has been defined to not use cookies at all. This actually makes it dumb, cuz it's not paying attention to the server's context settings.
    But it seems to me that if it's so smart, I should use encodeURL on all URLs and if there are no cookies enabled, it'll use the session ID in the URL, otherwise in cookies?

    But it seems to me that if it's so smart, I should use encodeURL on all URLs and if there are no cookies enabled, it'll use the session ID in the URL, otherwise in cookies? Correct.

  • UIWebView and cookies

    I'm having an interesting issue here. My app takes a URL that the user wants to go to, for example:
    http://www.destination.com/someprivatecontent.html
    and then appends another URL on the front, corresponding to an authentication site, before sending it to the UIWebView, e.g.:
    http://www.companyABC.authenticateme.com?url=http://www.destination.com/somepriv atecontent.html
    Many companies use this scheme to authenticate users so they can access private (or subscription only) content while off the local network.
    This works for most company site that use this scheme. In other words the user gets taken to the authentication site, they enter their username & pw, and then the site points them to the destination URL.
    For some other companies however I have had reports from users that after login they are not taken to the destination site.
    After some googling my intuition is that this relates to the fact that for some company sites, the authentication scheme ends up changing domains (sometimes several times) before eventually sending the user to the specified destination site.
    Is this an issue related to cookies? Do I need to do something special with the UIWebView and cookies?
    * Strange thing is, when users manually type in the same URL in Safari, there is no such problem. They are correctly taken to the destination site. Why is there different behavior with UIWebView?
    Thanks for any comments/suggestions. I kept the example purposefully vague for obvious reasons.

    bump...
    does anyone have an answer to this???

  • Url.co_ID VS. cookie.id

    Hello,
    What is the difference between
    url.co_ID VS. cookie.id
    do we need to do modify another page (another page .cfm)
    after this.
    ?

    Ultimately, the primary difference here is the variable
    scope,
    URL is the scope for all variables contained within the URL
    query string. For example, take the URL:
    http://www.mysite.com/index.cfm?var1=hello&var2=world
    This URL contains two variables in it's query string: var1
    and var2. To access them in a CFM template, you would use the
    following:
    <cfoutput>
    #URL.var1#<br />
    #URL.var2#
    </cfoutput>
    cookie.id is referencing the Cookie scope and, like the URL
    scope noted above, it is a way to reference variables and their
    values stored in a cookie. This page on the Adobe LiveDocs should
    help further with cookies and their scopes:

  • Safari 5.1, OS 10.6.8 and cookie controls

    Ok, I know there are numerous threads here in the Mac Safari forum regarding the issue of Safari 5.1 and cookie control. I just thought I would start my own thread instead of continuing on something else.
    I am using Safari 5.1 and 10.6.8. I waited for a bit to update to 5.1 (did it this week), giving it since its debut on July 20th. I too am experiencing the lack of cookie controls. The three settings that exists do not seem to do what they say except that they always allow cookies.  To update from Safari 505, I downloaded the installer from Apple downloads instead of using SU function. 
    Has anyone read something that Apple knows of this issue? 
    Since installing Safari 5.1, I have done the last security update as well.
    I remember reading that reinstalling the 1.1 version of the 10.6.8 combo would replace Safari 5.1 with 505. But, has anyone tried that? Will Safari 5.1 show up in software update as well as the last security update? I am wondering if I reapply that combo if it will undo the last security fix as well (since I am assuming software update will still see the receipt for the previous ones and not call for them to be redone).
    If all cookies are coming through, isn't this a serious bug?  I have been resetting safari often to wipe them out, but they reoccur switftly.  I have to MBP's and am seeing the same behaviour on both.

    I'd use that terminal command - takes seconds (and a restart) + no download. But otherwise yes - the 10.6.8 v1.1 then the update & anything else software update picks up (not safari, obviously )
    Some people happily get a copy of just the safari 5.0.5 application & use that, since apparently it works, although I'm not sure what cookie function you'll get (easy enough to see). You'd use Pacifist to extract it from the 5.0.5 installer package, or grab it from a backup.
    Although you'd hope software update would catch the security change - I'm not sure if the combo would overwrite the new or not... on the one hand, it's newer, but on the other, it sure over-wrote safari 5.1 when i checked it... so better to be sure, I haven't checked since that update.
    If you look at the files in /System/Library/Keychains/ afterwards - if EVRoots.plist, SystemRootCertificates.keychain, and SystemTrustSettings.plist are all dated 23 April 2011, the combo rolled them back - if they're later... it didn't.
    Apple do know, since bug reports come back as 'duplicate of...' - but  there's no public info to my knowledge.
    How much of a security issue is this? Should I worry about it, or just leave it until they update to fix?
    more privacy than real security, I'd say - although there are add-ons to manage cookies.

  • I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

    I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I haves changed the DNs number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 3 days now, HELP!!!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How to display URL images and URL link (html) from Smartforms?

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm having difficulty on how to display targeted URL images and URL link from the smartforms, after i sending it out as html mail. The mail i sent just can be preview as a plain text, which can't execute the html code that i put inside the smartforms itself. I follow a few step from this very useful blog.. Hopefully, you guys can give me some solutions or ideas on this.

    1- put your images in a directory under the web app directory. Example: app/images/
    2- in your jsp, use: String file = application.getRealPath("/images/"); to get the images directory. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
    3- it's not the right forum to post this kind of question. Post them in the JSP/Servlet JSTL forum instead

  • How do I get Firefox to show the proper font and layout of a site when it keeps loading an older version of that site? (I have cleared cache and cookies already)

    We are having a new website developed and my designer has made changes to it. Despite clearing the cache and cookies, the fonts are not showing up as the actual fonts. Also, the form fields at the bottom are extending beyond the border on the right side of the box on my screen, but this does not happen for other people using Firefox - it is only on my computer.
    I AM ON A MAC.
    I received a suggestion to reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    BUT - this did not work.

    You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.
