1. Does a GET HTTP request contain a request body? If yes what is contained in it? Are the request headers also part of the request body? 2. Is it possible to send a byte array as part of the GET request in its body? 3. Is there a size limitation on the data that can be sent via a GET request?
I moved some static html pages I was hosting from apache into tomcat. (no point in running two servers) This works as expected, but I'm having trouble with the authentication part. In apache the authentication was handled by htaccess. I tried various tutorials on the web about configuring basic authentication in tomcat using WEB-INF/web.xml in tomcat, but I'm not sure this approach applies to static html pages. Using basic authentication for static html in tomcat?
I am trying to make a simple login using netbeans, derby database included in netbeans and tomcat server. I made everything nice and separated: I have a model package with a class called DbConnector that has the following method:
Then i have another class, an userDAODB that has a password check method:
public boolean checkPassword(String user, String password) { try (Connection con = new DbConnector().connect(); Statement stmt = con.createStatement()) { //checks the password in the database
In the main method of this class i tested everything, it works very nice, logs me in, other methods work too, no problem what so ever.But then i go to my servlet:
public class LoginTest extends HttpServlet { public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { String username = request.getParameter("username"); String pass = request.getParameter("pass"); UserDAODB userDAO = new UserDAODB(); boolean authe = userDAO.checkPassword(username, pass);
[code]....
So when i start the webpage and i try to click on the login button I get a NullPointerException com.model. UserDAODB. check Password (User DAODB. java:14) - so line 2 here
I have been googling a bit, i placed the derby.jar and the derbyclient.jar in the lib directory of tomcat, i tried to modify the context.xml of my application, but then it wouldn't even start anymore.
We have a website used for downloading large files as large as 6gb and sometimes larger. We have all files in FTP server. The websit is JSP/Servlet /Tomcat combination. Below is code sample. I need a solution to increase the download speed. I understand it is bound to network bandwidth but are the steps that we need to take while we have such large files.I read about multipart downloads,gunzip streaming.
//first connect to FTP server and login and keep connection Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(); startTime=cal.getTime(); fis=ftp.downloadFile(ftpclient,separator+resourceID); response.setContentType("application/*"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + downloadFileName + "";"); byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
I have a simple application ( only 2 JSPs files and one servlet the main components the whole webapp directory is attached ), I am using security constraint to redirect the user to HTTPS instead of HTTP when he submit from first page to the second page.
The problem is when the user submit the first page I get the error HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL although I m using only POST.
I have traced the firefox browser using httpfox and the result was the first HTTP request was done using POST correctly but after redirect the browser send GET.
This problem appears with FireFOx and IE but doesnot appear with google chrome.
I am trying to use hidden variable in project.When I launch my project i am able to get the welcome page.But when submit login values i am getting HTTP 404 error- Resource not found error.
I mentioned the url-pattern in web.xml correctly and i also checked whether all the class files are present or not. But I am still getting ResourceNotFoundRException.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859
So I have a screen I click on. The "webPage" comes back as the requested resource unavailable.
What I don't get is that when I run the server locally on my machine it works just fine. But when this is deployed out to server I get the error. The screen comes up but the data doesn't show up. Where should I look to troubleshoot this?
I have an env-entry defined in my web.xml and when I attempt to print it from a simple servlet all I get is null. And of course if I attempt to invoke any methods on the object I get a NullPointerException.I read somewhere that this can happen if you're using version 2.4 instead of 2.5, so I changed to 2.5 and I still have the same issue. Here's the web.xml:
I have a link with URL say "/atom/filename.link" on one webpage on my server. On clicking it, a response will return in XML format.
In the XML there is information like:
<library id = "123" path =""/> <document id = "1234" path =""/>
With this information I can generate a URL to another link, say /libray?id=123/document?id=1234
Now I would like to realize a function so that on clicking this link, it will be automatically redirected to that new link, which is generated from the XML file.
At first I try to use a servlet/filter in a web-app and then deploy it on the server, inside this servlet/filter I make a new URL connection with the same request URL and retrieve the response and the parse the XML data. But now the request URL points to the servlet now, not the actual XML file.
For example, if I set the set the servlet-mapping to /atom, If I try to connect to the URL /atom/filename.link inside the servlet, will it still be directed to this servlet? It's like a loop, and the real content can never be reached because now the servlet occupies its path.
When we forward the request to a jsp , I noticed that the url bar address does not change .
I made a form form.html , and set action to a servlet then in servlet class I set an attribute and forward the request to jsp ,which prints the value of that attribute.But the url in address does not actually points to that jsp to which i forwarded the request.
I have to forward my request to another webApplication using post request parameters. In this case Webaplication-1 need send request using post request params to Webapplication-2 & once Webaaplication-2 receives request it has to process & display output.
For this have tried below 2 options which Servlet API provides.
1. RequestDispatcher : this will used to forward request to another resource within the application.
2. sendRedirect() : this method support doGet() of Servlet.
3. Using HttpClient, which is provided by Apache able to do but it will not displaying Output,It sending back response to Webapplication-1 .
Is there any option which will handover request from one webapplication to another webapplication.
We have a big application which is implemented in basic servlet. WE have Get and Post request in servlet. I want to provide them security if any malicious attack will happen on the form submit method. I want to make it secure. In detail, suppose if any user want to submit form/ any ajax request from my application and if he/she changes the method of submission from POST to GET then how I will recognize this?
I know that HTTPServletRequest object have GetMethod() but how I will detect that it is not changed by Tamper data/Fidler/Watir. One more way, I googled is by using GetQueryString() method but lot of the places I have query paramater in my POST request.
I have to send a request with post parameters from one web application to another web application,both are running different servers.
In my application i don't have any JSP,html only controller part which will handle request extract request parameters & based on request params i'll do a web service call.
My current requirement is based on request parameters i'll send request to another web application with received parameters.
I tried with sendRedirect() ,but it support only get() method.
I am building an application that has two types of users. While some of the fields (ie: username, email address, password) are the same for both user types, other fields are different for each user type.
Therefore, I would like to split up the process of registering (ie: writing the user info to database) into two parts:
1) registering the common fields among both user types (servlet 1) 2) registering the specific fields based on the user type that is registering (servlet 2a and servlet 2b).
Therefore, once servlet 1 is processed, I wish to forward the request to servlet 2a or 2b depending on what type of user is registering.
I wish to do this since I will have other parts of my application that will make use of servlets 2a and 2b as well. Is this possible to do (redirect request parameters from jsp to servlet and then to another servlet)?
After confirmation to the login details I added new cookie having logging information and then dispatched this request to controller servlet where this cookie is checked if it is present then user is forwarded to a particular page. Otherwise is redirected to the sign in page. Now the problem is when we add cookies then it is added into "response" object and when we get cookies we get them from "request" object. So for the first time redirection to controller servlet "response" object would not have this cookie as it is not available in "request" object. But will be available for later requests.
My question is what is the way to get this cookie in the first request. Or is there any way to send refresh like response to the browser so that this cookie is added??
We are starting to deploy virtual desktops in our factory.I have a file upload form that works on conventional desktops but fails on the virtual machines. Notice the lifecycle parameter is not being passed to servlet on these virtual machines but does get passed when ran from standard desktop machine.
I have used jsp's to passing request to the servlet or controllers. but we can also pass request from javascript using ajax and sending data using json.
what is the good approach and why? or does it depends on the situations? is yes, what kind of situations?
my Servlet as I would like my Servlet to run first and to create a session var then forward the value to the JSP (the GUI ) and have the JSP able to send a var back to the Servlet for reprocessing and update the session var to again be sent to the JSP and so on . - The Servlet contains logic to handle incorrect input types and directly out puts a HTML error page..
Below I will add the code I have so far and a link to the question in my Text Book.
My code:
JSP Page:
bank.JSP :
<% //Starts outputting the HTML Form %> <html> <head>
I would like getting a specific parameter name from the set of request parameters. In particular the name of the 4th parameter in the request parameter set.
