Where is my beans!?

I have a BIG problem accessing my beans from my JSP-pages. I am running Tomcat 3.2.3 in Windows98, with JDK 1.3. I have places my application under ?TOMCAT_HOME?/webapps/examples/jsp/messageboard, with my beans (class-files) under ?TOMCAT_HOME?/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/messageboard.
I have added TOMCAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME in tomcat.bat. Tomcats own examples of JSP and beans works good. When I try to run my application I get the following JSP-code I get the error message:

<jsp:useBean id="pool" scope="application" class="messageboard.ConnectionPool" />
Error: 500
Location: /examples/jsp/messageboard/SendUserData.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:

pool= (messageboard.ConnectionPool)
^
Any idea what could be wrong? Please help me!

I presume that you created a package called "messageboard" and it contains the class
"ConnectionPool.class" as a file. In other words, there is no "ConnectioPool" subdirectory.
If the above is correct, then I suggest modifying your JSP tag to be the following:
<jsp:useBean id="pool" scope="application" class="ConnectionPool" />
I hope it helps! Otherwise, let me know.

Where to store bean program ?

Hi... Am trying to create an Application using JspDynPage Component. am using java bean in this. Can any one tell me where to store this javabean program?

Hi
When you create your Portal component and you select JSP DynPage, 2 steps ahead in the wizard, you get the option: Use a Bean for Information Exchange.
Click generate bean statements and enter the name of your bean and the scope.
P.S. If this answer helped you do consider rewarding points.

Where does java beans be to locate in jsp?

I've problem to understand where Tomcat looks for Java Beans
- testbean.jsp:

I don't like it. I think you should deploy Web apps
under Tomcat the way Tomcat expects to see them:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/
ndex.htmlI follow your suggest but i get another problem.
I created an application in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapps and i put all *.jsp files in it, then i configured workers2.properties to send only *.jsp and servlet request to Tomcat with:[uri:<mydomain>/*.jsp]
info=My application folder for Host <mydomain>
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
[uri:<mydomain>/servlet/*]
info=Prefix mapping
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009Everything works fine with *.jsp but not for servlets.
In server.xml:
<Host name="<mydomain>" appBase="jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27/webapps/<mydomain> " debug="0">
<Context path="" docBase="">
<Logger ....>
</Host>Perhaps i must configure the Context parameters ...

Where should backing bean for bounded-task-flow be declared?

I have a bounded-task-flow that is used inside a dynamic region.
I declared a managed bean to be used by activities (method/view) using the "backingBean" scope managed bean.
There are two possible places that I can register the managed bean:
1. adfc-config.xml
2. the bounded-task-flow-definition.xml
What are the differences between declaring the "backingBean" scope bean in "adfc-config.xml" and in the bounded-task-flow definition?
What is the best practice for registering "backingBean" scope bean?
If I understand correctly, registering the bean in adfc-config.xml is for one or more bounded-task-flow that use the same Bean class for instantiating their own backing bean. If the backing bean java class is only use by specific bounded-task-flow then it should make no difference to register the bean in either xml files.
Am I correct?

It should be registered within the bounded task flow for a couple reasons:
1) Help maintain the encapsulation of the bounded task flow for reuse
2) Managed bean definition metadata residing in adfc-config.xml or bootstrap configuration file will be preloaded when the ADF application is started. The actual managed beans will be instantiated the first time they are referenced. Therefore, to avoid the preload place them in the bounded task flow.
thanks.

Accessing managed-bean in a JSP (portal theme).

I have a tricky situation where I need to access a managed-bean outside a JSF jsr 168 api portlet. Now I need to reference the bean in the themes jsp (just fyi themes loosely relate to JSP's which control the look and feel, navigation within portal page). I was thinking of a way to set a managed-bean variable in the jsp before the portlet where the managed-bean is declared. Is this possible ? Any ideas ?

You can just access managed beans using JSTL EL.${myBean}or if you strictly want to specify the scope, e.g. session scope${sessionScope.myBean}where "myBean" is the managed bean name. Keep in mind that you cannot use this in input elements, but only in output elements. If you want to use this in input elements, then you should be using JSF components with deferred EL #{myBean.input} and so on.

Java Beans and Jsp

i'm using a bean to capture information from user input.

i'm confused with regards to j2ee. where is the bean kept?
can i use JNDI to find the been? if so, how?
any tips or advice would be appreciated

CMP Beans in JDev embedded OC4J

Hello,
I have to solve the following problem:
We have a Project where a Session Bean calls CMP Entity Beans accessing an Oracle 9.2 database. When we start the Session Bean in the embedded OC4J of our JDev Ver. 9.0.5.1 the container starts to deploy but then it seems to stand still and nothing happens. The following message is displayed until we stop the server manually (After a more then an hour). But on an external OC4J Container it works fine. So how can we start this Bean in JDev? (Is there a way to start ear-files seperatly from JDev?)
message:
04/05/26 19:25:07 Auto-deploying - file:/D:/Projekte/transmedia/Entwicklung/db_mapping/classes/ (No previous deployment found)...

We had a similar problem with a large number of CMPs. The solution was to allocate more memory to OC4J in the project settings under J2EE.
Mine now looks like this
${java} ${jvm} -classpath ${oc4j.jar} -Xms512M -Xmx1024M
${memory.archive.flag} ${keep.alive.timeout.flag}
${oracle.dms.sensors.flag} ${oracle.jms.lock.flag}
${oc4j.main.class} -config ${server.xml}

Location of a bean

Hi
I have a basic question about java beans.
I have created a bean class.
I use that bean class in one of my jsp pages, where is the bean object created ? on the server or the client.....
The reason I ask this question is, I have a database and i get a list of data from the database( required for all users) what i want to figure out is if i can make a vector as a static object in the bean class and populate that vector from the database only once, this way i can save multiple access to the database and also save memory in case this bean is located on the server.
thanx
deepak

I use that bean class in one of my jsp pages, where is the bean object
created ? on the server or the client.....Take a look at the acronym. JSP: Java server pages.
With JSP everything java related is on the server. As far as the client is concerned, it just gets back an html page (possibly with javascript in it)
i get a list of data from the database( required for all users) Sounds like you want to have your bean/list in application scope.
Application scope relates to the ServletContext attributes.
Application scope attributes are shared/accessible to all users of a web app.
// store the data
List myData = getMyDataFromWhereever();
ServletContext application = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
application.setAttribute("myGlobalData", myData);
// retrieving it
<jsp:useBean name="myGlobalData" class="java.util.List"/>
// or
List myData = (List) application.getAttribute("myGlobalData");Cheers,

Contextual event - handler called before producer bean's setter

I am trying a simple contextual events usecase:
Page A.jsff has an input text field whose value is directly stored in a bean variable (bean is in pageFlowScope). Contextual event is defined on value change event for this input field. A.jsff has taskflow B_btf as an embedded region.This B_btf will simply display the value entered in the A.jsff. So, when contextual event is raised, the handler sets the value in a local variable of B_btf bean. The problem is that the handler method is getting called before the setter for the attribute of the bean of A.jsff. This is resulting in the B_btf displaying the last-but-one value entered in the input field of A.jsff instead of the current/latest value. Any tips?
Thanks,
Amitabh

The issue was with the (lack of) understanding of the JSF lifecycle. The value change listener is called during the Process Validation phase, whereas the managed bean (Model) values will be set in the Update Model phase which lies next-in-line after Process Validation phase. Hence, if the value change listener is to be used, then the handler code should have used the default payload and not the custom payload. For a value change event the default payLoad will be a DCBindingContainerValueChangeEvent, and one can invoke getNewValue() to get the value entered in the text field (For details watch Frank Nimphius' video here: ADF Region Interaction - Contextual Events - YouTube). For my case, I added a command button to the page, and moved the contextual event to that button.

Where does the class for useBean go?

I'm having trouble in jsp when I try to do a useBean. WebLogic can't seem to find my class. Where should the bean that I am trying to use go, and how should I refer to it in the .jsp file that needs to use it? Do I need to import the bean class?
I have the following structure:
proj_home
'-->all .jsp and html files
'---->Classes
'------->com
'----------->company
'-------------->project
'----------------->all class files for the project
'---->src
'------->com
'----------->company
'-------------->project
'--------------->all source files for the project
'---->WEB-INF
Currently the bean is named UserData. It is in package com.company.project.
I tried placing the UserData.class file everywhere I could think of but that didn't help.
I then tried to import it into the bean that uses it like this:
<jsp:directive.page import="com.company.project.UserData"/>
But that gives me errors saying this:
...jsp_servlet\__savename.java:17: package com.company.project.ejb does not exist import com.company.project.ejb.UserData; //[ /SaveName.jsp; Line: 1]
Well it does exist, but under the CLASSES directory.
HELP!

I was picking that up from your error message
..jsp_servlet\__savename.java:17: package com.company.project.ejb does not exist import com.company.project.ejb.UserData; //[ /SaveName.jsp; Line: 1]
The folder structure needs to mirror the package structure exactly (standard java)
So yes, If you have a com.company.project.ejb package with a class UserData within it
"UserData.class" needs to be in folder "WEB-INF/classes/com/project/ejb/"
If you don't have that class, then check your import statement - its asking for it.
Good luck,

Java.io in J2ee stateless session bean, general questions about debugging

Doing conventional Java IO (with java.io functions and classes such as
PrintWriter and println) in a Enterprise bean has been discussed before
in this and other forum. We know that the EJB specification says not to do it.
(For example the EJB 2.0 spec, 24.1.2) says that an enterprise
bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and
directories int he file system."
The discussion in various forums including this one is that
a) using java.io in a bean would impact portability, ability to
move the bean for load balancing
b) However, this is not always an an issue and it may be reasonable
to use these functions anyway. e. g. see the response by "maozhoulu"
on Jun 21, 2002.
I tried it in Sun Application Server Nine in my stateless Session Bean:
package RS;
import RS.CourseHome;
import RS.CoursePK;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import javax.ejb.EJBException;
import java.io.*;
public class AddCourseBean implements javax.ejb.SessionBean {
   public void ejbCreate(){};
   public void CreateCourse (int CourseNumber, String CourseName) {
    try {
     System.out.println("in Create Course");
     PrintWriter F = null;
     try {
      F = new PrintWriter (new FileOutputStream("/tmp/v/af"));
     catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException fe){}
     F.println ("here zero");F.flush();
     InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
     F.println ("here one");F.flush();
     Object o = jndiContext.lookup("ejb/X");
         ...I got a Null pointer exception on the line:
"F.println("here zero"); Is there anyway one can do simple debugging with print lines in one's beans?
Or is there something obviousthat I am overlooking? (I saw mention of doing
debugging with System.out.println but to where would the bean write?)
I tried using the Jakarta Commons Logging, but I got a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError on org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
Which logging system does one use in GlassFish, hopefully one with minimal
configuration? I want to do some debugging, not set up logging for a full
enterprise system.
Thanks for your insight and advice.

My apology for posting this message twice. I looked for it before and
did not see it. I thought I forget to click the "Post message" button.
Also, I did resolve one problem. System.out.println does go to
the log file, which in my case turned out to be:
/opt/j2ee/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
(Obvously, the first part would vary based upon where you installed your
Application Server Nine.)
However, it would be nice if there was some way to use FILE I/O inside of
beans. I am teaching some J2EE in the graduate software engineering course,
and I believe this would be pedagogically sound even if other techniques
would be appropriate for a production environment.
Thanks for your patience with this problem and my duplicate post.

Message driven beans practical use

Hi,
I wanted to know,where Message driven beans are used in actual commercial projects???
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Without naming any particular projects, i can asure you that MessageDriven Beans are used in commercially deployed systems.
Most important is to recognise the goal of MDBs. Everything inside a J2EE server is Request-Response like. Session and Entity beans react on requests. Because of the life cycle of these types of EJBs waiting for incoming messages is not realy a good idea.
In all cases were asynchronous middleware solutions are used, like MQ series for example, MDBs are used to listen for and react on incoming messages.
Furthermore, MDBs are used to decouple web tier from business tier where processing times of incoming data is too long to wait for by the clients.

JAAS and stateless bean

i have a very simple stateless bean with a single "hello" method running in WL 8.1 sp3. to test out Weblogic's behavior, i ran 2 seaparate scenarios on 2 separate occasions. in the first one, i secured all bean methods. in the 2nd one, i secured only the home's "create" mthod, while explicitely denoting all remote methods as "unchecked". next, i wrote a standalone client class where the aforemention bean's EJBHome.create() is called from within a PrivilegedAction-inherited class, while hello() method is called straight up without the use of PrivilegedAction. moreover, the hello() method also prints out the SessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName(). finally, an UNsecured servlet utilizing that class was deployed in Tomcat5 and another instance of Weblogic. this is where is gets interesting. when executing the standalone class or the Tomcat's servlet in both scenarios, the results are the same: both create() and hello() get called without a problem, while the latter method prints out correct principal name. however, Weblogic hosting the unsecured servlet behaves differently (and undesirably). in the first scenario where all methods are secured, create() is allowed to be executed, but calling hello() results in an insufficient privileges error. in the 2nd scenario, where only create() method is secured, Weblogic allows hello() to be called without a problem. however, the principal that it returns is "anonymous". my question is how is it possible for not only Tomcat, but even a standalone class to call a secured method without the use of PrivilegedAction and get back a correct principal? yet when absolutely identical code is called from another Weblogic instance, i cannot even obtain a correct principal despite the use of PrivilegedAction!!!
thanks!

Hi "werwer" (or is that "wer" :-),
I haven't checked the forum archives, so I may have already mentioned
this to you (or I may have already mentioned it to someone else
on this forum), but there are many resources available on the
Internet that can answer nearly all your J2EE related questions!
I would like to mention two. (If you already know about them, then
I suggest you study them. If you have already studied them and
still don't know the difference between a stateful and a stateless
session bean, then perhaps you can be a bit more specific about
what, in particular, you are having difficulty with.)

NullPointer when getting pageFlow bean from backingBean

Hi,
I use JDev11g - full ADF stack.
In the backing bean of a page, I use this method :
    public QueryFilterBean getFilterBean() {
        FacesContext fc=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        return (QueryFilterBean) fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(fc.getELContext(), "#{viewScope.QueryFilterBean}", QueryFilterBean.class).getValue(fc.getELContext());
    }to create an instance or get the current instance of a pageFlow bean. This code belongs to a backing bean that is registered in adfc-config.xml, so is the pageFlow bean. And I use faces-config.xml for navigation rules between jspx.
So the code behaves nicely on integreated weblogic. But I get a NullPointerException when deployed to our production server, when backing bean processes this code :
    public ArrayList<String> getActualWhereClauseMap() {
        if (getFilterBean() == null) System.out.print("filter bean null ;");
        if (getFilterBean().getActualWhereClauseMap() == null) System.out.print("where clause map bean null ;");
        return getFilterBean().getActualWhereClauseMap(); // NULL POINTER IS THREW HERE
    }I read that you should register pageFlow scope in task-flow definition ; but I don't use task flow.
Regards
Luc-

Hi,
you are not using the pageFlowScope but the view scope, which is shorter and changes with the page or view
