When to use servlets and jsp in an application like shoping cart?

Hi All
I m going to design and implement a web application using servelts and jsp. I am still at its requirements analyze stage.
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.
if you have any documents like design and use cases mail me to [email protected]

URGENT.........File Upload using Servlets and jsp

I am a new servlet programmer.......
iam using tomcat server......
can any one pls help in writing code for file upload using servlets and jsp without using multipart class or any other class like that....
Please URGENT..

Slow down! "Urgent" is from your perspective alone. I, myself, am not troubled or worried in the least.
hi ugniss
thanks for ur reply....sorry i was not
y i was not asked not to use multipart class or any
other class like that...is there any other
possibility to do file uploading from jsp to
servlet...
Just as an aside, a JSP is a Servlet. But even if I move beyond that, the question does not make sense. If you want a "JSP to upload to a Servlet", then simply do so in memory. You are still (likely) within the same scope of a given request. However, if instead you are referring to a JSP that is displayed on a browser, then really you are talking about HTML, which is what the browser will receive. And since you are now talking about a browser, your only real, viable option is a multi-part file upload. So, it is either server or it is browser. And either way, the question leads to very established options, as outlined above.
the main concept is.. in the browser the user selects
a particular file and clicks the button upload..after
clicking upload the jsp should sent the file to the
servlet in streams...there the servlet gets in and
saves in a server location........this is wat i hav
to do...
Okay. So, after reading my previous (redundant) paragraph, we have arrived at the crux of the issue. You have a JSP that will be output as HTML to a client (browser) which you want to upload content to your server (handled by a Servlet). So, you are now stuck again with multi-part. The requirement to not use multi-part is non-sensical. You can overcome it, say, if you write your own applet or standalone Swing client. However, if your users are invoking this functionality from a browser, you are limited by the options that W3C has provided you. Use multi-part.
is there aby possibilty to do this.....can any one
pls help....Take the advice to download and review Jakarta Commons FileUpload. Inform your management that their requirement makes no technical sense. Research on your own. There are dozens of examples (and tutorials) on file upload using multi-part. Embrace it. Live it. Love it.

User Authentication using Servlet and JSp

Hi,
I am developing a web app where i need to implement user Authentication to allow members to view and upload files on a certain directory say /data
For this i am using a servlet as a controller which then forwads request to other jsps/servlets based on user response. I tried using servlet mapping in web.xml so that all browser requests would be directed to controller servlet and would branch from there on. However the problem all RequestDispatcher.forward() requests redirected to the servlet putting it in a loop.
Is there another way to achieve this. (Apart from using form-based Basic Authentication).
I am using Resin 1.2.8 servlet/jsp container.
Any response as soon as possible would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kushagra

RequestDispatcher.forward() cause the HTTP request to be sent through the request processing flow as if the original request for the resource being forwarded to.
It seems the servlet mapping you are talking about in web.xml should be made more specific. i.e. the mapping should be such that only your so called controller servlet will match up.
You might want to specify the mapping for the controller servlet to be noticeably/effectively different from the mapping for other servlets and JSPs.

How to use servlets and JSP for my homepage?

servlets and JSP are server-side program. If my homepage is on some web-hosting websites, can I upload the servlets and JSP to run it? if possible, where can I find such a web-hosting place?
sraiper

Not many hosts offer JSP or Servlet support (and some do but then stop and never give you a refund, grrrrrrr!!!!).
Also, ones that do support it can often be more expensive. There are some free ones but all the one's I've come across have problems that made them unsuitable for my needs.
Here is a list of hosts that support Java:
http://www.thejspbook.com/resources/category.jsp?id=1005&name=JSP+web+hosting
I can't comment on any from that list, however I use http://www.positive-internet.com they are a bit pricey but they have excellent support and are always happy to help with any Tomcat (the JSP/Servlet server they use)configuration issues or needs that you may have.

Download local file using Servlet and JSP

Hello,
I will like to use a browser to download file on local system using serlvet and Jsp technology. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?
Any comment will be appreciate.
Thanks

Well you can just put the file in a folder that is accessible to the web server. Then have a link point to that file. That will cause the web browser to download the file.

File download using servlet and jsp. File Dialog comes twice

Hi
I was trying to download a file using servlet. There is a link which calls the servlet. When I click on the link file dialog box comes up. On selecting Open it again shows me the file dialog box. I changed the method from POST to GET and it worked properly.
My question is why does it work with GET and not with POST. I am aware of the differences between POST and GET but am not able to come to a rational explanation for this behaviour.
Please if anyone can explain this to me I am going crazy thinking an answer for this.
Thank you.
Regards
Jay

Hi Jay,
I also have the same question. Why does it work with GET and not for POST?. If you were able to find the answer please let me know.
Thank you.

Servlet and JSP in OAS

I'm developing web application with OAS
4.0.8.1 and JDeveloper 3.0 and I want to call
JSP from servlet using "RequestDispatcher".
I downloaded JSP for OAS from www.olab.com.
In the Release note, there is a description
about RequestDispatcher, but I cannot
understand about details.
In what configuration can I use servlet and
JSP together with RequestDispatcher. Anyone
scceeded about that?

When to use jsp,and when to use servlet?

I think that jsp and servlet can realize the same functions, because when run a jsp, it is transferred to a servlet program, so when to use jsp and when to use servlet?
I am now developing the input interface for a website, I just use jsp and javabean to connect to weblogic and database, and I didn't use servlet, Is there any unseemliness?
Thank you!

IMHO I use servlets to control the flow between my jsp's based on a number of factors in a webapp. For instance, user authorization. If a user has the authorization to conduct various administrative functions on an application (like change user rights, reset passwords etc) they will have access to specific buttons or links on some screens that others will not. I use servlets to establish what access rights a user has and direct them to the appropriate pages. I also use servlets to test data validity on form input screens. I know that I can also do this with JavaScript but that can be disabled by the client and in order to prevent that I also double check the form input from a servlet. All my jsp's do is display the results of a business process (which is held in a JavaBean or EJB) and the servlets act as the controllers for the application, connecting to multiple databases, verifying application state, flow control etc. I try to keep the jsp as simple as possible as some of them are maintained by html developers who lack the necessary experience to write java code. I hope this helps.

Differences between WL or Netscape for Servlets and JSP's

What are the advantages / disadvantages of running Servlets under WL,
          vs. say, running them in Netscape's servlet engine? Assuming EJB
          container is run separately, either one of these could make calls to the
          WL EJB server, so perhaps it would be simpler and faster to run servlets
          and JSP's under Netscape, and have them call via t3 into a weblogic
          server for EJB's?

David,
          One of the major reasons to run your servlets on Weblogic is that we have an
          optimization that allows us to pass by reference objects when calling from
          servlets to EJB. This makes things much faster.
          A number of our customers, in addition, have seen performance problems when
          using other servlet engines. It just seems to cause problems due to their
          threading models etc.
          Finally, our servlet engine is by far the most mature and robust on the
          market today. Our JSP implementation is also the best in terms of
          performance.
          Thanks,

Serving Java Servlets and JSP

I have a small hosting company and was wondering what is required to be installed on a Win2k Server to host Java Servlets and JSP pages for a client of mine?

Ah, so you just want to add a servlet engine to IIS5?
Tomcat can be used as a plugin for IIS. Check out the Tomcat FAQs - somewhere in there you should find one relating to using Tomcat as an IIS plugin. They're far more comprehensive than I could ever hope to be on the matter!

InterMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs and Netscape

I am using the interMedia Java Classes for Servlets and JSPs to upload and retrieve multimedia data. I have found that it is much more performant in Internet Explorer (5.5) than in Netscape Communicator (4.7). In fact, I cannot upload images larger than 10K at all using netscape. However, the same image can be uploaded into the same application using IE. Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We have successfully uploaded multimedia data in the giga-byte range (Quicktime and AVI files) at the same speed with both the Netscape (4.7n) and MS IE (4.n and 5.n) browsers. One thing we have noticed is that its very important to set the manual proxy settings correctly if you have an environment with a proxy server. If you don't, then uploads can go via the proxy server and, for some reason, that seems to take considerably longer. For example, suppose you are in the www.xyzco.com domain and are connecting to a host named webserver.www.xyzco.com, then specify webserver and webserver.www.xyzco.com (to cover both cases) in the "Do not use proxy servers for..." box in the manual proxy server configuration screen. Also, if you're using a tool such as JDeveloper that uses the host IP address in the debugger environment, then you also need to add the numeric-based (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) IP address to this list.
Hope this helps.
In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected] Thank you!

Simon

File upload using Servlets and Weblogic

Hi,
I need to write a servlet that can upload a .doc file to a folder on the server. Can someone please let me know abot the code i need to write, as i am a novice in servlets.
Thanks in advance
buddy0303

Another, simpler (we think), such package is Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload. It's a servlet filter which can work in front of both servlets and JSP's. The servlet filter parses the uploaded file and stores it temporarily on the servers disk. When the servlet or JSP executes afterwards, it can obtain all the information about the file, from the request attributes. There is a decent manual for HTTP Multipart File Upload on the website.
Just search for "Jenkov HTTP Multipart" on Google and you'll find it. HTTP Multipart is free, open source, Apache Licsense.

How to combine servlet and jsp

I'm doing a project. My friend using jsp. and i using servlet..
we are confused, how to combine servlet and jsp. or we can just use redirect??
but it's still doesn't work properly...thanks for your helpp

You can use RequestDispatcher interface for calling a JSP from a Servlet, or vice-versa.
Following is the code for sending output to a JSP page from a servlet:
javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(�/Ashu.jsp�);
request.setAttribute(�Name�,�Ashutosh�);
dispatcher.forward(request,response);
- Ashutosh
