  • What is coherence web default session model

    Did some goggling and did some search in to the documents and PDF to find out what is the session model that coherence web is using.
    but no where they are specifying what is the session model that coherence web is using by default.
    1) Traditional Model — Stores all session state as a single entity but serializes and deserializes attributes individually.
    2) Monolithic Model — Stores all session state as a single entity, serializing and deserializing all attributes as a single operation.
    3) Split Model — Extends the Traditional Model but separates the larger session attributes into independent physical entities.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Sathya,
    It appears the default is the Split Model. I could not find in documented anywhere.
    But if you look at the generated web.xml after installing Coherence*Web on a WAR it configured for the Split Model.

  • Default  Transaction Attribute for EJBs

    Guys,
    Can you tell me the default transaction attributes if any in Weblogic 7.0 i.e.
    the attributes used
    if not explicitly specified for a bean method when using in CMT ?
    For CMP entity beans,
    MDBs,

    Hello Mr. Woollen,
    As always, thank you for your excellent insight into the internals of BEA WebLogic.
    I now have a better understanding of what happens "by default" in WLS. I do agree
    that changing this now would definitely break existing applications. It's always
    difficult to decide when to officially deprecate a "feature" or to leave it in
    forever.
    Best regards,

    I say for better or worse because I would have liked to change it to
    always require the user to set a default transaction attribute.
    Unfortunately we have many customer's applications who depend on this
    behavior, and I believe if we change it we will break all of them.
    Regardless, I would not recommend depending on our default tx attribute
    and instead always set one for '*'.
    In general, entity beans should run as Required or Mandatory. Session
    beans are usually required or notsupported. MDBs are required or
    notsupported.

  • How to set session attributes in a bean?

    How do I set a session attribute in a server-side bean?
    I'm not sure if I asked the question the right way. What I meant is, while it's easy to set session attributes in a JSP page (session.setAttribute("sessionname", "sessionvalue")), I'd want to set such an attribute within a server-side bean defined in this web application. But what is the syntax for doing it?

    Here a simple bean that stores something in the session and retrieves something from it.
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
    public class TestBean {
      private String value;
      public void doSomething(HttpSession session, int a, int b) {
        if (a+b > 0) {
          session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.TRUE);
        } else {
          session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.FALSE);
      public void init(HttpSession session) {
        if (session != null) {
          Boolean b = (Boolean)session.getAttribute("ab");
          if (b == Boolean.TRUE) {
            value = "a + b is greater than zero";
          } else {
            value = "a + b is not greater than zero";
        } else {
          value = "no session";
      public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }In your JSP, use something along the lines of :
    <%
      TestBean bean = new TestBean();
      bean.init(session);
      bean.doSomething(session,1,2);
    %>If your bean only lives during one request, you can pass the session to the constructor, which stores it in a private variable. This saves passing the session each time.
    Hope this helps,

  • Javascript to JSP question...Can javascript function set session attributes

    hello,
    i have a web app that, on one of its pages, displays "tabbed pane" as an image map at the top (a la amazon.com). my problem is this: each "logical" page contains separate forms that all use the same javabean. in other words, imagine that the tabs represent an account maintenance web ui for an on-line record store. the first tab might be labeled "General," the second "Contact info," the third "Shipping Info." Each uses the same account bean and displays portions of its properties relevant to the tab at hand. what i want to do is allow a user to enter the account maintenance ui, update info on the first tab, click on tab two and have the request with the changes sent to a processing jsp. yet, since each "tab" is actually a separate URL to another page, how do i get the updated info on the first tabe without adding some sort of "SAVE" button on each tab. ive considered using javascript, but dont know how to get the request params out of the first tab whn i click on another tab. is it possible to include an "onClick" function in each URL that "grabs" the updated form fields off the preceeding tab? can a javacript function set session attributes in jsp?

    hello there,
    wow, you've created one big mammy-jammy tool.
    first, javascript cannot access, set values to the session, without having to post to another JSP. javascript is great for manipulating objects, layers, form values, etc.
    you have 2 issues [if i understand correctly]:
    1) you need to able to save user info for a specific tab without having to reloading the page.
    ---you can create a form for EACH of your tabs and POST all the information to a hidden IFRAME or LAYER for NN4. that hidden IFRAME / LAYER will load a JSP page which with all the parameters you posted to it. or you can build a FRAMESET and target that document["frame-name"].src with that same JSP.
    2) handling when the SAVE INFO action should happen: hence some javascript event handler: onMouseOver, onClick, etc
    ---i don't know the dynamics of your tabs, but if store which tab was clicked on last, then if the user clicks on some other tab, javascript can submit that FORM to a JSP [see condition above]
    you have an interesting tool. can i see?
    i hope i wasn't too confusing, but your problem is sooo interesting. =)

  • How to get from data entered on a form to a session attribute

    I have a jsp with a form with fields that are updated by the user.
    The values are in the fields value as I expected.
    Example. document.frm.Name.value = "Me"
    How do I populate a session variable with document.frm.Name.value?
    I think I have to do a request.getParameter("Name") followed by a
    session.SetAttribute. But the request.getParameter does not get populated with the latest value in document.frm.Name.value.
    Any idea is welcomed. Thanks

  • Default dynamic attributes and weightings on BID invitation

    Based on certain business logic i need to default dynamic attributes and weightings on bid invitation transaction BBP_BID_INV,
    I tried to do some code in method BBP_QUOT_CHANGE of BADI
    BBP_DOC_CHANGE. The execution doesn't stop at that method as i put a breakpoint there.
    However it does stop at  BBP_BID_CHANGE method, i could not use this method because et_weight internal table is not available there ( i need to populate something in weightings) although ET_DYN_ATTR is available.
    Question is , for what purpose BBP_QUOT_CHANGE is used ?
    Let me know if you have any inputs ..
    -With Thanks

    Hi,
      BBP_QUOT_CHANGE  method is used for QUOTATION.Whenever any change is done in the Quotation then this method is triggered.

  • How to save the login ID as a session attribute ?

    I am using form-based authentication in a web application which is being deployed on a JBoss 3.2.3 server. I am authenticating against an Oracle database by way of a DatabaseServerLoginModule (JAAS).
    I would like to save the user's login ID as a session attribute in order to be able to use it later in the application.
    It's not obvious how you can capture this information and add it to the session, since it seems that the login ID is lost once the authentication is done by j_security_check process.
    Is there some way to tell the servlet container to save the login ID as a session attribute as part of the j_security_check process (something along the lines of "if the authentication succeeds add the login ID as an attribute to the session") ?
    Is there another approach ? What is the accepted "best practice" for doing session initialization after authentication ? For example if a user needs to have several attributes set in their session after login -- how is this handled ? I have done this before with a login servlet which did both the authentication and the session initialization, but when using form-based authentication and j_security_check it's not clear to me how you go from the authentication to the initialization logic.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insight.

    You should already have it... hidden in request.getUserPrincipal().getName()

  • Variable coming from a session attribute

    Hello, I am developing a web application with JDeveloper 10g
    I've got a View Object which is basically a query, where I use a variable:
    WHERE BbCustomerOrderStatusTab.CUSTNO = :CustomerNumber
    When I define CustomerNumber in a form, it works:
    <af:panelForm>
    <af:inputText value="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.inputValue}"
    label="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.label}"
    required="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.mandatory}"
    columns="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.displayWidth}">
    <af:validator binding="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.validator}"/>
    </af:inputText>
    <af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams.execute}"
    text="ExecuteWithParams"
    disabled="#{!bindings.ExecuteWithParams.enabled}"/>
    </af:panelForm>
    But I would like CustomerNumber to come from a session attribute. I tried something like that:
    session.setAttribute("CustomNum","IRI0001");
    setCustomerNumber(session.getAttribute("CustomNum"));
    with the View Object Editor -> Client Interface setCustomerNumber selected, but it doesn't work.
    I tried :
    String CustNum=session.getAttribute("CustomNum");
    %>
    <af:attribute name="#{bindings.CustomerNumber}"
    value="<%= CustNum%>"/>
    but it tells me that "Attribute value does not accept runtime expressions".
    Does someone know how I could do that?
    Thanks,
    Romain

    Hi,
    Frank's suggestion should work.
    Most importantly, don't forget to declare your bind variable in your view object !!
    Your statement looks odd to me
    String CustNum=session.getAttribute("CustomNum");
    %>
    <af:attribute name="#{bindings.CustomerNumber}"
    value="<%= CustNum%>"/>
    There are many ways to do it. You may try using backing bean for command button's actionlistener or action like the following
    class myBackingBean
    private String CustNum; //of course with getter and setter method
    myButtonAction() {
    CustNum = yourFavouriteValue;
    OperationBinding ob = getBindings().getOperationBinding("ExecuteWithParams"};
    ob.execute();
    note you must declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{yourBackBeanClass.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding
    I don't know and seems not being recommended to set session value in jspx.
    Another way is inside your command button in the jspx
    <af:setActionListener from="#{somesource.value}"
    to="#{processScope.CustNum}"/>
    in such case, you must declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{processScope.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding
    If you have already set session value somewhere beforehand, then what you need to do is simply declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{sessionScope.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding.
    I did lot of ExecuteWithParams thing and no problems occur so far.

  • Unable set session attribute with certain types.

    Hello I was surprise that when I execute HttpSession.setAttribute("somekey", new HashMap()), "somekey" will not be stored in the Session. I can replace HashMap with HashSet and it's okay.
              Out of curiosity, I create a Java class like below :
              public class abc implements Serializable {
              public String def = "def";
              And I have the same issue with HashMap and it will not get stored in the Session attribute. Does anyone know what kind of valid object and what makes the object storable into the Session's attribute? Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks.

    Actually never mind. It have something to do with BEA's Portal Ad services. I will post this into the appropriate forum.

  • Change Default Print Attributes

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • Setting session attributes at the Role level

    I am running AM7.1 in Legacy mode and I am trying to create a role and assign session attributes at this role level. I followed the instructions for doing this but it does not seem to be working. I created the role and added the session service to it. I then went in an changed the attributes (Max Idle, Max Session, etc.) to the values I need for the role. I then assigned the role to a user. However when I log in as this user and look at the Active Sessions panel all of the values are still saying they are set at the defaults. It is not picking up the new values for the user. Am I missing something? Help! -Jeff

    Reply i was also getting this problem in relam mode but 7.0..........but when i specify in the url?role=rolename..........i see the session info applied but i wanted it to be dyanmically applied(without specifiying the role in the url).......i have raised an SR but that is for 7.0 .........please do it for 7.1 i think you might get some response.

    The taglib directive below imports the JSTL library. If you uncomment it,
    you must also add the JSTL library to the project. The Add Library... action
    on Libraries node in Projects view can be used to add the JSTL 1.1 library.

  • What does AM do with Attribute Assertions

    Hi,
    I am sending Auth statement and atribute statement assertion to AM. AM is accepting the Auth assertion and creating the session, but I am not sure what it does it with Attribute assertion? I want to pass these attributes to next AM. How can I do this. I am looking to fetch these attribues in attributemapper class implementation but not sure how to fetch them from original assertion so that I can pass it on..Does AM store it in SSO Token or what. How can I get those original attribute here.
    Thanks
    Deepak

    Got the solution...AM sets these attributes in SSOToken..You can get those by using getProperty() method..make sure that subject of AuthStatement and attribute statement are same otherwise the attribute will not get stored in SSO Token...I modified subject of attribute statement ..so that it matches with that of auth statement nad later in attribute mapper class fetched those attributes form SSO Token and added it to list..so that these attributes can get transferred to next AM.
    Thanks
    Deepak

  • Session attributes

    I have a JSP page that calls itself multiple times and passes information back to itself using a vector passed as a session attribute. I am attempting to clear the attribute by using the removeAttribute() method and also calling the setAttribute() method and assigning an empty vector when the page is first called.
    If after populating the session attribute I move to another page ("page X") and then come back, the page appears to have cleared the attribute/vector, but when I submit the page unto itself again the attribute/vector appears with the new information that I just passed to it ALONG WITH the old information assigned from my initial call before going to "page X". I would like to clear the information if the page is called from a page other than itelf, but somehow the old information is still being saved in the session.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for your time.
    Matt

    Thanks for the help. I have pieced out the part of the page where I attempt to reset the vector. Hopefully it is not too out of context to make any sense.
    Assumptions:
    - daySelected is a form object in this page (used to determine if page is called by itself
    - workWeek is a vector of "workday" objects populated by this page
    Code below:
    if(request.getParameter("daySelected") != null){//page called by itself
    //retrieve the workweek object from the previous version of this page
    workWeek = (Vector) session.getAttribute("passedWorkWeek");
    //dayIndex = 0-6 (Sat-Fri)
    dayIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("daySelected"));
    if(request.getParameter("hourType").equals("In")){  //Time In
    input = request.getParameter("hourin").trim() +":"+
    request.getParameter("minuteIn").trim()+
    request.getParameter("AMPMin").trim();
    ((WorkDay) workWeek.elementAt(dayIndex)).setTimeInEntries
    (input);
    }else{//hourType="Out" = Time Away
    input = request.getParameter("outHours")+"."+
         request.getParameter("outFracHours") + " "+
         request.getParameter("outType").trim();
    ((WorkDay) workWeek.elementAt(dayIndex)).setTimeAwayEntries (input);                                              
    session.setAttribute("passedWorkWeek",workWeek);
    }else{//if page not called by itself or Clear Hours selected
    //clear any existing vector and session attribute
    workWeek.clear();
    session.removeAttribute("passedWorkWeek");
    //the above lines seem redundant as I am setting the attribute again, but nothing seems to work consistently
    //Create empty vector for workWeek
    for(int i=0; i<7; i++){
    workWeek.addElement(new WorkDay(weeksDates,"", "", ""));
    session.setAttribute("passedWorkWeek",workWeek);
