Web.xml - adjusting the session configuration

I recently applied SP07 for NW7.01 to one of our portals, and since doing this I can not find where to make adjustments for the session timeout. It used to be defined in the web.xml, does anyone know where it was moved to?
I used to go here:
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC##/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/web.xml and adjust the default of 30 as necessary. Where is this value found now?
I can also make the adjustment from the visual administrator under web container> properties> Session Timeout and this requries a restart of the web container service.
From SAP HELP:
Specifying HTTP Session Timeout
You can specify a timeout period for HTTP sessions created in your Web application. If the session is inactive for this timeout period, it is invalidated by the Web container.
If you do not specify such a timeout explicitly, a default one of 30 minutes is assumed.
You can configure the HTTP session timeout using the web.xml descriptor.
Procedure
On the web.xml screen, proceed as follows:
1. Open the General screen.
2. To specify the timeout period, enter a value in the Session configuration u2013 Session timeout field.
The value is specified in minutes. If you enter a negative value in this field, HTTP sessions are never terminated because of a timeout. Instead, only an explicit logout by the user will terminate the corresponding session.

Hello David.
The help article is about custom development using NWDS. For adjusting session timeout system wide refer to Re: Portal session time out is 30 minutes.

Sun-web.xml memory based sessioning issue

I recently installed Sun WebServer 7.0 Update 8 on Fedora 20. Everything seems to be working fine with my webserver except for the memory based sessioning.
My First Configuration - no sun-web.xml file defined
Expected Behavior - I would assume that memory based sessioning would be used.
Actual Behavior on my local instance - Every 1-2 minutes my session would abruptly end and a new JSESSIONID would be issued. This does not happen on other machines running the same webapp, so it does seem to be a sun webserver configuration problem.
My Second Configuration - using the following sun-web.xml file:
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 Servlet 2.5//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd">
<sun-web-app>
<session-config>
     <session-manager persistence-type="memory">
          <manager-properties>
               <property name="reapIntervalSeconds" value="20000" />
         </manager-properties>
     </session-manager>
    </session-config>
</sun-web-app>
Expected Behavior - Memory based sessioning would be used
Actual Behavior on my local instance - Same as with no sun-web.xml. Every 1-2 minutes my session would abruptly end and a new JSESSIONID would be issued.
Does anyone see what is wrong with my sun-web.xml file? I'm also not sure if the file permissions/ownerships are correct on all of my sun webserver files. Is there a particular temp file or location that Sun Webserver uses to track active sessions? Or are in-memory sessions completely stored in memory and not on disk? Is there a default sun-web.xml file somewhere that is overriding my settings (and if so, where is it located)?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Firstly you should know Fedora is not a support platform. it might work but you could run into a load of issues as your go.
in any case you don't need a sun-web.xml file at all. For any deployed Web app the default session manager is memory. So remove that 1st. After that check that
the requests are really sending a JSESSIONID. This kind of issue can occur when you have a Load balancer.

Do we need to put the following code in the web-xml for the project to run

Hi^^^,
actually I have created a project in Eclipse WTP and I am running it from remote server. Its giving me 404 error when I tried to run it.
I know 404 error is generally due to some error in deployment descriptor.
I am going through this tutorial for creating project in eclipse WTP
this says that I need to include the following code in web-xml. Please look at the quotes below
"Web modules in J2EE has a deployment descriptor where you configure the web application and its components. This deployment descriptors is called the web.xml. According to the J2EE specification, it must be located in the WEB-INF folder. web.xml must have definitions for the Servlet and the Servlet URI mapping. Enter the following lines into web.xml:"
"Listing 2. Deployment Descriptor web.xml"
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.eclipse.wtp.tutorial.SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/snoop/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
My question is, it is necessary to include the above lines between <servlet> and </servlet-mapping> in web-xml
thanks and regards,
Prashant

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.eclipse.wtp.tutorial.SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet> Every Servlet has to have a <servlet></Servlet> tag in the web.xml
the <servlet-name>is for the naming the servlet and the <servlet-calss>is for class file of the servlet in your case the .class file is to be in the package of tutorial,if it's not then how the container will no where the calss file is
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Snoop Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/snoop/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>You type something in your url likk http://localhost:8080/webappname (Tomcat server),so for url mapping instead of typing the entire class file name ,you just enough have to type what you've put in the <url-mapping> tag and it has to be inside of <servlet-mapping>
I think the problem is in <url-pattern> change it like /snoop<url-pattern>
My question is, it is necessary to include the above lines between <servlet> and ></servlet->mapping> in web.xmlSo now you think whether you need something inside <servlet>and </servlet-mapping>

Need to know the sessions configurations for Conferencing and Transocoder on Voice Gatway

Hi All
Please help me to understand the concept of how we can calculate the session while we are configurating the conferencing ang transcoder on Voice gateway.
Regardss
Chaman

The calculations can get quite complex with DSP sharing, codec complexities, etc. Start of with the DSP calculator tool (
http://www.cisco.com/web/applicat/dsprecal/dsp_calc.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter) and see if it helps you find what you are looking for which I think is how many conferencing and transcoding sessions you can have based on your router configuration.

Edit env-entry values from web.xml in the WLS console.

Hi guys!
Is it possible to define JNDI variables of type java.lang.String using WLS Console?
Thanks

I think this would require the use of a deployment plan, which you can learn about here: [http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/deployment/config.html] . This won't be as convenient as just editing the value directly in the admin console. In fact, it won't even prevent the requirement of redeploying the webapp. It will only allow you to make the change without rebuilding and repackaging the webapp.
It's questionable whether it's practical or meaningful to change env-entry values in a web.xml without redeployment, because even if you could change the values without redeploying, you'd have to reinitialize the servlet/filter with the changed environment parameter.
If you really need this dynamic reconfiguration ability, you might have to design the facility into your application, using some sort of polling or event handling capability.

Faces-config.xml is the only configuration file or we can keep more

Hi All,
1) faces-config.xml is the only name specification allowed in JSF for configuration file or can we use another name for this configuration (like as struts) ?
2) can we have multiple configuration files in JSF like as struts contains multiple configuration files for navigation ?
Thanks,
Rajesh Yarlagadda

Web.xml deployment - The requested resource is not available

I am trying to deploy part of my project and cannot get it to work.
If I put this in:
<url-pattern>/traveltimes.do</url-pattern>and go to http://localhost/testLINK/traveltimes.do it works fine.
However when I put
<url-pattern>/milwaukee/traveltimes.do</url-pattern>and go to
http://localhost/testLINK/milwaukee/traveltimes.do
I get this error:
The requested resource (/milwaukee/milwaukee/traveltimes.jsp) is not available.I can't figure out why it is putting in that extra /milwaukee. Any ideas?
John

Well here is something really weird. If I change it to:
<servlet-name>Milwaukee Travel Times</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test/traveltimes.do</url-pattern>and go to http://localhost/testLINK/test/traveltimes.do
I get
/test/milwaukee/traveltimes.jspis not available. I have no idea where it is pulling that milwaukee from, and why it does so only when I have the extra level in the path.
Any ideas on where I can go from here?

Whats the difference between servlet-config.xml ang web.xml???

whats the difference between servlet-config.xml ang web.xml???

web.xml is the standard configuration for all Java EE web modules.
servlet-config.xml appears to be pertinent only for Struts apps.
you don't have to have servlet-config.xml if you don't use Struts, but you've got to have web.xml.

Problem in Configuring web.xml or portlet.xml

Hi all,
We are developing an application on the VAP 7 using Portlets.
Can some one tell me, how to trigger a servlet from the Portlet? Rather how do i configure the web.xml or the Portlet.xml to make it identify the servlet that has to be called on load of the jsp.
I have tried this the regular jsp and xml way (i.e. without using the Portlets and calling it from the JSP)
I have the web.xml where i have the mapping for the single jsp ( this has the call servlet within the SRC attribute of the IMG tag. ) , also with the mapping details for the servlet to be called and this way it works fine there.
How do i do the same for Portlets.?

are you very new to servlets..
ok then.
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>bittu1</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>Library1</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>bittu1</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/lop1</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
        <servlet-name>bittu2</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>Library2</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>bittu2</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/lop2</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping> i think this will help you.

XCM configuration path in web.xml file

Hi,
Here is a requirement that all the XCM configuration files are stored at local desktop(like QAT, PRD..), and need to use them by modifying web.xml.
Please let me know at
1)which web.xml tag the path of XCM confiuration files to be specified.
2) specify the names of the XCM files for configuration to be put in that folder.
Thanks,
Devender V

Hi,
1)which web.xml tag the path of XCM confiuration files to be specified.
Try to find below lines in your web.xml
<context-param>
        <param-name>path.xcm.config.isa.sap.com</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/xcm/sap/system/bootstrap-config.xml</param-value>
        <description>Turns the Extended Configuration Management on if a
            path to the configuration file is specified. It is a
            relative path, with context-root of web application as root</description>
    </context-param>
bootstrap-config.xml file contains XCM configuration related XML file path. You can modify or extend this file and give your user Define path.
Also you can find below line in web.xml file.

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>

Web.xml configured correctly(I think), but still getting '404...resource

not found error' from tomcat. Here is my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet2</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>coreservlets.HelloServlet2</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/classes/HelloServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet2</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/classes/coreservlets.HelloServlet2</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
when I went to the following urls after I had edited web.xml to the above,
http://localhost:8080/cucoweb/classes/coreservlets.HelloServlet2
http://localhost:8080/cucoweb/classes/HelloServlet
I go the expected results, ie, 'Hello(2)' and 'Hello'. Then I shutdown tomcat and restarted it.
And when i tried to access those 2 urls again, I got the above error.
(Actually I had the same web.xml before except that it didnt have the /classes in front in the
url-pattern. I was able to access it by the same url - without the /classes - and then the next day
when started tomcat and tried to access it, it didnt work, same error.)
In this example, cucoweb is the context root, correct ? Shouldn't the url-pattern be relative to the
context root ? Thats how I have it now, I think.
Would adding my webapp directory, ie cucoweb/classes, to my CLASSPATH help ?
I'm in ubuntu, when I do echo $CLASSPATH, I get :
.:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/lib:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/imq/lib/:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib
I havent tried this yet because doing this is kind of tricky in ubuntu. (You have etc/environment and
bash.bashrc, for ex.) But if I try that and it works I will post about it. I suspect its something else,
though, because it worked once, before restarting tomcat, thats why I'm posting here first.
Any info, even educated guesses, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Here is my web structure :
/usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/webapps/cucoweb/WEB-INF/classes
From my understanding you are supposed to have your own webapp deployment directory
under webapps, ie, cucoweb, and not use webapps/ROOT. (I'm not sure what /ROOT is even for)
My web.xml is in WEB-INF. My /classes directory contains HelloServlet.class and a directory
called coreservlets which contains HelloServlet2.class.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'better you to delete under tomcat/work/catalina/localhost folder'.
Can you please clarify ?
FYI, my work/catalina/localhost contains the following :
cucoweb docs examples host-manager manager
Here cucoweb just contains a SESSIONS.ser file. Are you saying i should delete that ?

More effecient? Session var or web.xml

Hi list,
Like the subject line suggests. Just wondered what is more effecient/better practice.
I would like to use a variable in my Web App, which defines the pagesize, i.e. how many rows are displayed in my Database application.
Does anyone have any comments whether its better to persist this int value in a session, or keep it in the web.xml and just keep reading the parameter from the web.xml.
Would really appreciate any replies,
Ben Bookey

Thanks for the replies..
I guess web.xml is the obvious way, (definitely better than using session) but perhaps its better rather than reading every time I need the value from the web.xml, to store the variable in an server side variable somehow. I come from using MS ASP and i would then create an Appication Variable in the Global.asa, rather than reading (disk IO) from an ini file or something. This variable is then available (public) to all my scripts.
What do you think about using the ServletContextListener event, reading the web.xml once on app startup, and assigning this variable to a Public variable of some AppPropeties object or something...Perhaps this more effecient?
What would you think?

Problem with the data source and web.xml

I have an issue where JSC is removing my resource reference:
<resource-ref>
<description>Creator generated DataSource Reference</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/localOracleDatabase</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
from the web.xml and sun-web.xml.
The application has been working great in the IDE for months then wham, no more data source definition. I try and add the reference manually and the IDE takes it out. I am "NOT" adding it to the .xml's in the build area. Why is JSC removing the data source entry?

This continues to be a problem. The only way that I can get around the problem is to drag a table from the data source onto the design pallete and then the datasource is added back to the web.xml. I can run fine for 10 or 15 runs then the entry is once again removed from the web.xml.
Help please!

Wrong security configuration in web.xml

Hi all
I am developing an application with JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 using ADF-BC/JSF. I have followed the example of SRDemo and my .jspx files are located in two folders : public_html/app and public_html/pricelist/
My application will have two user roles. The administrators who access everything and the users that need to access only the pages located in faces/app and get access denied mesages in all pricelist management pages.
I have used file based security and defined users and roles in jaz-data.xml. I have also verified that the data in that file are correct using the isUserInRole() function.
What I cannot get to work correctly is the security in the web.xml since the way I have it both users and admins are granted full access to the faces/app/pricelist pages.
The security constrains on my web.xml look like this :
    <security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>PricelistData</web-resource-name>
            <description> Price list management pages</description>
            <url-pattern>faces/app/pricelist/*</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>admin</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>UserData</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>faces/app/*</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>user</role-name>
            <role-name>admin</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <login-config>
        <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
        <realm-name>jazn.com</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    <security-role>
        <role-name>user</role-name>
    </security-role>
    <security-role>
        <role-name>admin</role-name>
    </security-role>Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong, or suggest anything else I should check ?
Thanassis

Well you're orion-application.xml file looks okay to me, and addition if the isUserInRole is returning proper values, it's hooked up correctly.
(By the way, a useful bean/free piece of code to do just what you're doing is the JSF-Security scope as written by Duncan Mills on Sourceforge)
As such I'd be looking at the security constraints URLs. You haven't by chance changed the url-pattern for the Faces Servlet? The default is this:
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>...and your url-patterns assumes it starts with faces. Note it is correct in your url-patten to not include a forward slash before faces in the security constraint.
Another thing that springs to mind, when you navigate to the protected page through your menu structure, what URL do you see in the browser? Is it the URL of the page you came from, or the URL of the page you navigated to ... and in addition ..... another thing to try is in your browser, rather than navigating through your menu structure, go straight to the URL of the page. Does the login page then show?
The reason I mention this is if you're using the default navigation style in JSF for JDev 10.1.3 (if memory serves me well, it's direct), the Servlet may not actually inforce your protected page navigation as the navigated-to page is never actually served by the Faces servlet to the JEE engine to enforce security. I think I had a b1tch about this issue in the following OTN Re: ER: JSF direct navigation ignores JAZN container based security. Could this be what you're hitting?
As such try changing the navigation type to redirect.

Custom web parts in SharePoint 2013 becomes inactive when the session is idle for long time.

Hi,
We have a search center site with custom web parts and custom master pages. When the session is inactive for long time all the custom web parts in the page doesn't work, unless we close the browser and open it. Where as this is not the case with the
OOB web parts. We are not able to identify the root cause as it works with OOB web parts and not the custom web parts.We were able to find that by increasing the session timeout of the web application we can avoid this issue.We do not want to increase the
session timeout as the OOB web part works perfectly even when the user session is idle for long time.Is there any other alternative where we can acheive the same for custom web parts when the session is idle for long time?
Thanks,
Saranya

Hi Saranya,
According to your descirption, my understanding is that when the session is long time idle ,then custom web part will not work.
I suggest you check if you have enable the session in the Page Level in the web.config. By default SharePoint disable the session state.
In the web.config, you will see <page enableSessionState> tag. You can modify like below and test if it works.
<pages enableSessionState=”true” ….. />
Here is a detailed thread for your reference:
