OT: Formatting web pages for printing.
Hi all, I'm building a web app for my company that will help us create quotes. The quotes are stored as XML files and get translated/displayed in a frame with XSLT. Problem is when printing the quotes, there's no way to specify what the margins should be. I've tried setting the attributes of the body tag in the XSL style-sheet but I'm not getting satifactory results. I don't want the user to depend on the browser's Page Setup settings for determining what the page would look like finally. Is there a way to set the page margins using a style-sheet or something? If there is, I'd like to know, thanks.

Storing Java Objects in SQL
Hi all, I'm trying to store objects (instances) of a class in Microsoft SQL Server 2K using the Microsoft-provided JDBC driver, but I've been without any luck thus far. I've used the setObject() method in the PreparedStatement class and set my target sql type to BINARY, yet it doesn't work, I keep getting an SQLException. A look at the driver documentation shows that this method is supported while set/getBlob() aren't. Is what I'm trying to achieve impossible or am I doing something wrong? I could serialize the objects to disk but I'll have files lying all over the place - storing them in the database per user would be much neater. I need help fast! I'm Thanks.

Re: Control user access to directories in J-T ver 3.3 on unix?
Hi, I usually use custom user access control (nothing really fancy) since my passwords are hashed and stored in a database. I never investigated if Tomcat could give me the level of control I often need. If you chose to go the same way (i.e. create your own custom solution), then you could very easily write a filter that blocks access to user directories and would only allow access depending on criteria that you set. The draw back I see is that you're using T3.3. If you want to use filters (which I think is a really cool feature in Servlet 2.3), then you'd have to upgrade to T4.x.x; unless your apps specifically require T3.3. Regards, Paul From: Christopher Lott [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Control user access to directories in J-T ver 3.3 on unix? Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 11:29:45 -0400 (EDT) Hi, please tell me if fine-grained user access control is possible in J-T, and if so, how to accomplish it. I'm using Jakarta-Tomcat version 3.3a on a solaris 8 box. I have access control enabled such that users of my app must supply a password; this uses a SimpleRealm with a local file of users and passwords as specified in the context for my webapp (in conf/apps-myapp.xml). To gain access to J-T/webapps/myapp, users enter a password. So the first line of defense is working. However, 'myapp' creates directories for each user under webapps/myapp where users store their work. Currently, an authenticated (but malicious) user can access the files for another user by guessing the appropriate URL under the J-T webapps/myapp/user directory. This is the hole we need to close. I'm asking about how to restrict access to specific directories. I have no need to restrict access on a file-by-file basis. We specify a role for the users, but it's not clear to me that the role information is used anywhere (?). I've read the SimpleRealm part of the Server.xml Configuration document. I have scanned the Tomcat Documentation, including the Tomcat User's Guide, the server configuration, etc. I've googled the question with little success (other than some security hole warnings). I sure hope that I don't have to create an instance of the webapp for each user! If it matters, we are using Apache as the front-end, and it forwards requests on to the J-T server as needed. Does this have anything to do with Slide (something Google turned up)?? (I don't mean to complain, but I sure would welcome some improvements in the J-T documentation. :-/) Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing from someone. chris...

Re: Strange NullPointerException Error in t4.0b7
Hi Craig,
Thanks for the insight. I know I can't assume that all application servers
will have a webapps directory so actually, I have a properties file that
provides the absolute path (depending on the platform) to the home
directory of my web application. However, before I apply any configurations,
I run some tests using hard-coded values. That's why I came up with the
not-so-portable ../webapps/humantrack/forms. And I was surprised to find
that a working application wasn't working any more after I changed servers,
even though their directory structures are identical.
Anyway, I guess I'll just move on to the the Servelt 2.3 spec (good thing
T4.0 supports it) and use the tip you suggested.
Regards,
Paul

Subject: Strange NullPointerException Error in t4.0b7
Hi All,
I recently downloaded and installed Tomcat 4.0 b7. I found it to be
quite
responsive and remarkably faster than it's predecessors. However, my joy
was
short-lived when I found out an application which I had written and
extensively tested under Tomcat 3.2.2. was not working in the T4.0 b7
environment - I kept getting a NullPointerException error. I snooped
around
a bit and found out that the following piece of code was the culprit:
File directory = new File(../webapps/humantrack/forms);
File files[] = directory.listFiles();
Now, here's the strange thing: directory isn't null but the array,
files[], is! This code works without change in T3.2.2 as files[] doesn't
return a null value. What's wrong?
Your pathname (../webapps/humantrack/forms) is relative, so it will be
resolved against the current working directory of the servlet container --
something that you should *not* be making any assumptions about.
You can solve your immediate problem with something like this ...
String contextRoot =
getServletContext().getRealPath(/);
if (contextRoot != null) {
File directory = new File(contextRoot + /../humantrack/forms);
File files[] = directory.listFiles();
...
} else {
... error message ...
}
but even this will not work *unless* all your web applications are stored
underneath the webapps directory. In general, you can make *no*
assumptions about this.
A more rigorous approach will often work (assuming that /humantrack is
the context path for a different web app):
ServletContext sc = getServletContext().getContext(/humantrack/forms);
if (sc != null) {
File directory = new File(sc.getRealPath(/forms));
File files[] = directory.listFiles();
...
} else {
... error message ...
}
but even this is not guaranteed, because servlet containers are allowed to
return null from ServletContext.getContext().
And *all* of the solutions above assume that you are running your web
applications from open directory structures, rather than from WAR files.
This is a common feature of containers, but is not guaranteed to be
available universally. So, a new feature of the Servlet 2.3 API lets you
ask for URLs of resources within a web application in a portable way
(again, assuming that /humantrack is the context path for your other
app):
ServletContext sc = getServletContext().getContext(/humantrack/forms);
Set paths = sc.getResourcePaths(/forms/);
and you can iterate through the paths. Each of them will be a String that
you can use in calls like:
InputStream is = sc.getResourceAsStream(path);

Paul

My problem however, is that I can't think of a simple way to generate the XML files that will contain the data needed to generate the forms. I won't want the users of my applications to have to edit the XML files by hand. I would want them, instead, to go through a web-based wizard that will generate the XML files automatically.

Re: How can i create a login application
HI, I'm sure there are a number of ways to do this. I have a method I use (which might not be the simplest solution). Usually, my protected page is a jsp. Now, to get to this jsp, you enter your username and password. When you hit the submit button, the request is sent to a servlet that checks the database and authenticates user. If the user is listed, the servlet directs the request to the protected jsp. The tricky part is writing code in your jsp (now this isn't generally advised, but I do it when it is absolutely necessary) to check to make sure that the request came from the servlet! If it did then the rest of jsp would be loaded otherwise, an error page would be produced. I'm sorry I can't give you any code samples right now but that's the general idea. If you're familiar with JSPs, servlets and JDBC, you should get the hang of it. Good luck!

RE: JDBC + Tomcat NT Service
Hi David, No I'm not using the Microsoft JVM. I'm actually using Sun's JDK1.3.1 Beta. This is so I can run Tomcat as service and still be able to log out from Windows without losing the service (the bug was fixed in this release of the JDK).

I'm sorry I failed to mention that I had put the jar files in the lib directory as well. I don't have a problem loading the drivers when I run Tomcat normally but I do when I run it as a service - the drivers just refuse to load. The JDBC drivers are not the only jars in the lib directory. I've got some other jars that I have no problems using even while running Tomcat as a Win2K service. I guess someone has got to check this out. It's strange, but who knows I just might be doing something wrong.

Path to drivers is actually correct and doesn't contain any spaces 2. Permissions on the JAR file and directory's above (this only applies if you have changed NT's defaults. By default Everyone can do anything with any file or directory).
