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)?

Session attributes after logging into web-app:
Session Attributes
thisUsersAllowedRoles=45
username=hw
authenticatedUser=org.hw.client.payroll.model.User@2c8a09da
supervisorCode=
authenticated=true
[Code] ....
Every now and then while debugging I lose session attributes:
Session Attributes
thisUsersAllowedRoles=45
username=hw
supervisorCode=
authenticated=true
[Code] ....
The authenticatedUser and menu attributes are gone. I never know when it's going to happen so I can't trace it. Any guesses why those type session objects would die?
I attached an image of what menu object looks like.

I am trying to use three cookies in a servlet to store the background and foreground color and text size but my code is not working for some reason. When I run the servlet I get an IndexOutOfBounds exception and in my code is says my cookies are not ever used, when they should be to store the variables?
package httpServlets;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.Cookie;

I am trying to make the variables that will be taken in from a type='text' box in HTML in NetBeans available to the other servlets as well as store and display the latest value passed into these boxes on the servlet page when the submit button is clicked or display null if the box has not yet received a value. However, I do not understand how to do this and do not understand as to why my current output is always null?
i) Is ServletContext().getAttribute("name of my textbox") really the way to pass the attributes to all servlets?
ii) Is ServletContext() passed in the service request?
iii) How to store the latest value passed into the submit box?
Here is my code
index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Lab One</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName">

I'm a new Java user and I'm trying to code a simple login page. In first page (NewFile.jsp) users should enter their username and password and should click on "login", or click on "sign up".
1.) If user enters his username and password correctly, a login page (LoginPage.jsp) appears and says "welcome null" but it should show the name of that user instead of null.
2.) In that login page there is an edit button to edit profile information. When I clicked on it, every information is "null" and when I edit them and click on "Submit" button;
HTTP Status 404 -
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2
that message appears.
3.) If I click on "Sign Up" button at the beginning, a registration jsp (SignUpPage.jsp) appears. After filling up text boxes and clicking on "Submit", same Status 404 screen appears.
I created a mysql database called "loginpage" using xampp. In that database there is a table called "users" and it has un, pass, name, surname, email and degree attributes.
Here is a screenshot of my project explorer:
Here is my code:
1. NewFile.jsp
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

I need to implement a URL which looks something like below one. The Notable thing is that its only one parameter i need to access and the value that's supposed to be held by the parameter is encrypted which may contains characters like & and =.
Example 1.
www.abc.com/disp?v=qww78agd=
The parameter v in above url contains value qww78agd=.
Supposing the encryption turns out the following way.
Example 2.
www.abc.com/disp?v=qww7&f=iuy68=
www.abc.com/disp?v=qww7&f==iuy68=
Then servlet will take v and f as two separate parameters, whereas i want to obatain qww7&f==iuy68= from parameter.I thought of taking up all key value pairs from request HashMap and concatenating the joints via & and =. But the problem is that two consecutive = signs as in second case of example 2, its treated as only one equal to in request key,value map. Hence, my other = sign(s) are lost.Is there any way such that i can get query string part as it is on my servlet and parse it using string processing on my own?

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.
This is my form code
<form action="/QMSWebApp/AttachmentListController?lifecycle=attachafileuploadfile" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="hide">
<input type="text" name="docindexno" size="20" value="${attachmentObj.fileindex1}">
<input type="text" name="doctype" size="20" value="${attachmentObj.filetype}">
<input type="text" id="fileuploadformsource" name="fileuploadformsource" size="20" value="${attachmentObj.fileUploadFormSource}">
</div>
<input type="file" id="fileName" name="fileName" size="40" onchange="testFileName()">
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
<div id="uploadresult"></div>
this is the servlet error:
AttachmentListController: userName: STEVE DYKE File Attachment Source: SI
AttachmentListController: userName: STEVE DYKE e: java.lang.NullPointerException
AttachmentListController: Parameter List: doctype
AttachmentListController: Parameter List: docindexno
AttachmentListController: Parameter List: fileName
AttachmentListController: Parameter List: fileuploadformsource

I developed some servlet to get unicode parameters via post request. It worked perfectly fine since I set the encoding as below:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setContentType("text/html");
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
String fileContent = request.getParameter("fileContent");
}
Now that I have set up my dev environment on a new machine with new eclipse, it does not work.
It displays Ï instead of π.
I've already tried adding URIEncoding="UTF-8" to server.xml which did not work since it only affect get not post. I figured out how to get the parameter with correct encoding on the new system:
String[] parameters = URLDecoder.decode(request.getQueryString(), "UTF-8").split("&");
But I cannot believe that this is the solution because then what's the point of having request.getParameter. I already know that:
String sss = new String(fileContent.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
would not work.

I have a webform on JSP page which has several parameters(strings and integers) values and a file to be uploaded to the server through a servlet. It is strange to see that i'm able to upload the file on to the server but not able to get the rest of the parameters in the servlet using request.getParameter("someString") .
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/cassino/uploadFile" >
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">

We can have attributes in different scopes in a JSP page. Suppose there is an attribute named 'name' with values in different scopes as below:
request - A
session - B
application - C
page - D
Suppose I print ${name} in a JSP page, then what will be the value printed on the JSP? And, what will be the preference order of attributes search in different scopes?

I am new to Java and I am doing an assignment to identify Class and Attributes from below example. How to identify 7 classes and its attributes from this scenario:
ABC Maps Maker produces electronic maps for global positioning systems. Every map needs to define the latitude and longitude of the centre of the map, together with the length and breadth of the map. A map also has a name, and a set of geographical features.
A geographical feature is something noticeable in a a map; e.g., a hill, or valley. Among the types of features are the following: trace features, track features and tract features.
All features have a name that is displayed on the map next to the feature. A trace feature has a coordinate point to indicate its location relative to the centre of the map. Broadcasting stations, mountain peaks, and transmission towers, are examples of trace features. Every trace feature has a description associated with it.
Examples of track features include roads, railways and rivers. Each track feature has a list of points that define its course, and a line pattern. The line pattern specifies the colour, and the thickness.
Like a track feature, a tract feature also has set of points, except that when drawn on the map, the last point is linked to the first point to enclose a complete region. Additionally, it has a fill pattern which incorporates essentially a colour.
Recall that there is a class, Point, in the java.awt package – this can be used to hold the co-ordinate of a point
Class:
Attributes:

On p.176 of EBJ 3 in Action (2nd edition),
MDS don't support all six transaction attributes. MDBs support only REQUIRE or NOT_SUPPORT.... There is no existing transaction to suspend or join when a message is delivered, The two options you have available are REQUIRE if you want a transaction.....
there is no existing transaction when a message is delivered from a queue to an MDB. Why we still need a transaction as it says " REQUIRE if you want a transaction"? When a message is delivered from the queue to the MDB, is this a transaction?

public class Employee {
private String firstName;
private String eeid;
}
I want to sort using empoyee firstName.. If two employee names are same, i need to sort based on eeid.. using insertion sort
if (key == "name") {
for (int i = 1; i < list.length; i++) {
Employee t = list[i];
int j;
for (j = i - 1; j >= 0 && t.getLastName().compareTo(list[j].getLastName())<0; j--)
list[j + 1] = list[j];
list[j + 1] = t;
}
}
It will sort using names.. But if two names are same, it wont sort based on eeid.. I want to achieve only using insertion sort..
EX:
vivek 8
broody 2
chari 3
vivek 5
chari 1
output:
broody 2
chari 1
chari 3
vivek 5

I have to create a new custom tag "imageLabeable" as a div contains a GraphicImage and an OutputLabel (primefaces).
Since I want to make it reusable as much as possible, I tried to write, in cc:interface section, all GraphicImage attributes (id, value, binding etc) and some new (GraphicImage is the main component among the two). But after that I have must associate GraphicImage attributes with the attributes created in cc:interface:
<cc:interface componentType="imageLabeable">
<cc:attribute name="value" />
<cc:attribute name="alt" />
<cc:attribute name="width" />
<cc:attribute name="height" />
[Code] .....
As you can see, if I have a lot of attributes I have to write a lot of association. Furthermore, if I see html rendered code with Firebug or similar, I see all of these associations.
Can I inherit these attributes automatically? Or associate it in easier way?

In the servlet class I have:
String name = "James Bond";
Session.setAttribute("name", name);
Why is the attribute name and attribute value the same in all the books I've read. I know one is a string literal and one is an object but must it be the same?
Second thing I'm confused about... let's say I change the servlet code to
String name = "James Bond";
Session.setAttribute("hisname", name);
When I try to access it using JSP:
${sessionScope.name}
it works fine. So what is the point of the first argument in Session.setAttribute() ?

What i want to evaluate the condition inside the markup that is getting populate. Such that If :
Title is empty markup will generate like : <div media-title="title" />
Both are available then markup will generate like : <div media-title="title" media-width="104"/>

I have two different "business objects", and they have multiple attributes in common(around 25 I believe, all of which are simply a String). Basically, these objects are used for documentation purposes on the same file.
The program can choose to update a given Document at any point in time, even if changes haven't been made to existing version. So what I'm trying to do, is check to see if these attributes differ any between the two files(the exisitng copy, and the new request). If so, I'll update...else I simply throw out the request. The workload can be rather intense at times so I don't want to bog down the system anymore then necessary.
Simply pulling down every attribute for each and comparing seems like a lot of overhead, any more efficient way to achieve these results?

I have an issue with variables/attributes scope inside a jsp tag file.
In short, I have a tag with an attribute named "id". If the page using my tag has a variable called "id" (maybe coming from the spring model) and I call my tag WITHOUT specifying the id attribute, inside my tag I still can acces to the "id" attribute that was defined in the page but I don't want this behavior; if the tag is called without the "id" attribute then it should defaults to empty/null.
Example:
print.tag
<%@ attribute name="id" required="false" type="java.lang.String" %>
id=${id}
site.jsp
(...)
The id is: ${id} // <- Prints 'X'
<my:print /> <- Prints 'X' ! I want it to not print anything in that case
<my:print id="Y"/> <- Prints 'Y'
(...)
What I want is to have the tag attributes live only in the tag, without having any knowledge of any variable outside of the tag itself. Is it possible?
My current workaround is to remove the "id" attribute, enable dynamic attributes and with a scriptlet search in the dynamic attributes map for the "id" and save it in a variable with a different name (e.g. "__id").

I have to use the company's login resource, which returns a login page for authentication after a browser/user page request; after successfully authenticated, the session attributes are set in a (remote) valued object (VO) invoked via servlet; then, such values are set in my (local) POJO.
I want to display the current user session attribute (see xChave below) and save it in database. How can I persist http User session attributes through the structure below?
Abstract Controller (just the main code):
public abstract class AbstractController<T> {

public AbstractController(Class<T> itemClass) {
this.itemClass = itemClass;
}
