Basic Servlet doesn't work - java

I tried to create a simple servlet from the book, but to no avail.
I use GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2, jdk1.7.0_10, Notepad.
root\WEB-INF\classes\net\ensode\glassfishbook\formhandling\FormHandlerServlet.class :
package net.ensode.glassfishbook.formhandling;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class FormHandlerServlet extends HttpServlet
{
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
{
String enteredValue;
enteredValue = request.getParameter("enteredValue");
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter printWriter;
try
{
printWriter = response.getWriter();
printWriter.println("<p>");
printWriter.print("You entered: ");
printWriter.print(enteredValue);
printWriter.print("</p>");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
try
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter printWriter = response.getWriter();
printWriter.println("<h2>");
printWriter.println("If you are reading this, your application server is good to go!");
printWriter.println("</h2>");
}
catch (IOException ioException)
{
ioException.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

</form>

</html>
I create the WAR file by the following command in the console:
cd e:\root\
jar cvf formhandling.war *
Next, I copy my WAR file into the ‘autodeploy’ directory.
The link: http://localhost:8080/formhandling/
gives me the error: HTTP Status 404, description - The requested resource () is not available.
The link: http://localhost:8080/formhandling/dataentry.html
gives me the error: HTTP Status 404, description - The requested resource () is not available.
The link: http://localhost:8080/formhandling/formhandlerservlet
gives me the right response: “If you are reading this, your application server is good to go!”
It seems that Glassfish couldn’t find the dataentry.html file, but I copy all code from the book and don't know what to do.

The code from the book didn't work because dataentry.html was created in the folder WEB-INF, I correct this mistake:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/dataentry.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Now, I have my html file in the root directory. It works.

How to use Filter and Servlet in different packages?

I have a servlet, a filter and a login.jsp. I fill the username and pasword and then click the login button and the filter isn't called, only the servlet is called. The servlet and filter are in different packages and I see this is the problem. If I put servlet and filter in the same package the filter is called successfully. But I want to use them in different packages. What should I do? Thanks in advance!
Filter:
package log.reg.myfilter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebFilter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
#WebFilter("/LoginFilter")
public class LoginFilter implements Filter {
public void destroy() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
String username = req.getParameter("username");
String pass = req.getParameter("password1");
System.out.println(username);
if ((username.length() > 6) && (pass.length() > 3)) {
System.out.println("In filter");
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
else
out.println("Invalid Input");
}
public void init(FilterConfig fConfig) throws ServletException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Servlet:
package log.reg;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
#WebServlet("/firstServlet")
public class FirstServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("In servlet");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String username = request.getParameter("username");
out.println("Welcome " + username);
}
}

The value() of #WebServlet and #WebFilter don't have the same meaning.
The first one specifies the URL patterns of the servlet (that is its URL mapping) while the second one specifies the URL patterns to which the filter applies.
But in both cases you specified as name the simple name of the underlying class.
For the servlet, #WebServlet("/firstServlet") makes sense but annotating your Filter with #WebFilter("/LoginFilter") is not what you are looking for as
you don't want to filter only the "/LoginFilter" URL.
For example to filter any requested URL you could specify :
#WebFilter("/*")
A Servlet filter is an object that can intercept HTTP requests targeted at your web application. As I see here, you have not associated filter with servlet. You have to tell the url pattern you want to intercept/filter.
Note: Filter won't be executed independently it works with
Servlet. So You have to associated Filter with Servlets.
If you have to associate with FirstServlet then use below one.
#WebFilter("/firstServlet")
If you want to filter each request you can use /*
#WebFilter("/*")

In your jsp file form action, Replace
<form action="ServletValues.java" method="get">
With
<form action="TwitterServlet" method="get">
Since in your web.xml your servlet mapping pattern is TwitterServlet for the Servlet class that you intend to call.
Also in your servlet you are just printing to System.out while you should write into the reponse stream using
response.getOutputStream().write("---Tweet---"+status2.getText());
so that it shows up in the response
Change your form action to:​
<form action="/TwitterServlet" method="get">
your servlet url is /TwitterServlet as you have defined
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TwitterServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TwitterServlet</url-pattern>

Servlet not working with Tomcat 6.0.37

I have a development folder having following structure:
G:\MyProjects\beerV1--
|___classes\com\examples\web\BeerSelect.class
|_______src\com\examples\web\BeerSelect.java
|_____etc\web.xml
|_____web\form.html
My deployment folder hierarchy is:
C:\Tomcat6\apache-tomcat-6.0.37\webapps\Beer-v1
---WEB-INF\classes\com\examples\web\BeerSelect.class
---form.html
---WEB-INF\web.xml
When I run the http://localhost:8080/ , I can see the default tomcat page.
However I'm not able to see the form page using http://localhost:8080/Beer-v1/form.html( getting 404 error)
Am I missing something here?
The BeerSelect.java is:
package com.examples.web;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BeerSelect extends HttpServlet {
public void doHost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
out.println("Beer Selection Advice<br>");
String c=request.getParameter("color");
out.println("<br>Got beer color "+c);
}
}
My web.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd"
Version="2.4">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Ch3Beer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.examples.web.BeerSelect</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Ch3Beer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>/SelectBeer.do</servlet-class>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and my form.html is:
<html>
<!--Some sample HTML-->
<head>
<title>The english pub</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Beer Selection Page</h1>
<form method="POST"action="SelectBeer.do">
Select beer characteristics<p>
Color:
<select name="color" size="1">
<option value="light"> light </option>
<option value="amber"> amber </option>
<option value="brown"> brown </option>
</select>
<br><br>
<center><input type="SUBMIT"</center>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Do we have a method named doHost() in HttpServlet? I think your doHost() should be changed to doPost() as your action in html says to POST the request.
HTML:
<form method="POST"action="SelectBeer.do">
Servlet:
public class BeerSelect extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
out.println("Beer Selection Advice<br>");
String c=request.getParameter("color");
out.println("<br>Got beer color "+c);
}
}
Found something more:
in web.xml:
<servlet-class>/SelectBeer.do</servlet-class>
should be changed to :
<url-pattern>/SelectBeer.do</url-pattern>
And this resolved the problem.
Silly mistake.
Anyways thanks for looking into the issue for me.
Cheers!

JSP getParameters

I have a simple JSP project, which has 3 classes, controllers and DAO's
I can Login but when I click on my buttons, I just can't get the Parameters from the form.
Lemme show the code, and maybe You'll figure it out:
package school.controller;

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import school.dao.StudentDAO;
import school.model.Student;
public class StudentController extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static String UPDATE = "/student.jsp";
private static String VIEW_COURSES = "CourseController";
private static String VIEW_GRADES = "GradeController";
private StudentDAO dao;
public StudentController() {
dao = new StudentDAO();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String forward = "";
String action = request.getParameter("name");
if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("update")) {
forward = UPDATE;
Student student = (Student) request.getAttribute("student");
request.setAttribute("student", student);

You're confusing attributes and parameters.
Parameters are String values sent by the browser. They're accessed using the getParameterXxx() family of methods.
Attributes are data that you can add to a request (or session, or servlet context), or any type, in order to get them backlater. You typically add an attribute to the request in a servlet (for example, the information about the logged in user) in order to get back this attribute in the JSP and display the information.
In your code, the only place where you get a parameter is commented out. And you're trying to get a parameter named "hidden", although none of the form has an input field with than name. It's the name attribute of an input field that is submitted by the browser, and not its id attribute.
Also, you should use GET rather than POST for actions which consist in getting or reading things.
The reason you don't get any values is that the attribute "name" in the form, indeed is just the name of the form and isn't sent at all.
To actually send data, you need to provide some in the innerHTML of the form. Like this (not the best solution, but should you get running):
<form method="GET" action="StudentController" name="formName">
<input type="hidden" name="viewgrades" value="show" />
<input type="submit" value="View My Grades" />
</form>
After this you can read the sent data "viewgrades=show" (parameter=value) in your Java-class.
Also, btw, you shouldn't use "h3" as a paragraph ("p") or section. It is intended to be a headline.
