Example program for HttpSession

Steps:
1. create any folder (ex: httpsess)
2. maintain the folder structure
3. set the classpath for tomcat server, jdbc connector
4. deploy your application(your folder ex" httpsess) in webapps folder under Tomcat server
5. start the server
6. execute your application in any browser


1. create any folder (ex: httpsess)
2. maintain the folder structure
Login.html
reg.jsp
registration.jsp
1. DriverConnection.java
2. UserDAO.java
3.Product.java
4. ProductDAO.java
5. LoginServlet.java
6. UserHomeServlet.java
7. GetProductServlet.java
8. AddProductServlet.java
9. GetCartDetailsServlet.java

10. LogoutServlet.java
   
   4.  create WEB-INF folder
         Under WEB-INF folder
        (a)  create classes folder
        (b)  create lib folder(mandatory): bcoz we are using jdbc drivers so mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar should be copied into this folder
        (c)  create web.xml file for configuration

1. set the classpath
D:\\httpsess>set CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar ;.;


D:\\httpsess>set CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\jsp-api.jar ;.;
//if you are using Eclipse then use set the path by placing the mouse on project, right click, choose build path, configure build path, AddExternal Jar files (click), browse the files
2. Now compil e the servlet(java) programs to get the class files
D:\\cookiesex>javac -d . *.java

3. Now copy the class files 


4. paste into classes folder of WEB-INF folder

(c)  create web.xml file for configuration under WEB-INF folder

4. deploy your application(your folder ex" httpsess) in webapps folder under Tomcat server

  steps for deploying  your application
 1. you can create war file also to deploy
preparing war file using cmd prompt

D:\\httpsess>jar -cvf  httpsess.war Home.html WEB-INF
(6) start the tomcat server
(7) deploy the servlet(servlet folder or war file into the webapps folder of Tomcat
(or) paste the ur application (ex: httpsess.war) into the webapps folder of tomcat
(8)runing the servlet program
http://localhost:8888/httpsess

HttpSession
Posted by at 1 comment:

HttpSession

Session Management:

  • we are facing some problems with cookies, URL Rewriting and Hidden form fields to maintain the client state with sessions
  • The servlet container provides service (Session management) by implementing HttpSession interface
  •  In this concept, Web container stores the user's data and track the user's session by using URL Rewriting or Cookies
  • this mechanism helps to maintain a unique identity for each of session without using URL Rewriting or Cookies
Using HttpSession in Servlets involves the following functionality:
  1. it creates a new session object if necessary
  2. locating the session object associated with the current request
  3. storing information in a session
  4. attaching the session identity to the URL
  5. Looking up information in a session
  6. Discarding completed or abandoned sessions
Creating a Session Object:

  • A session object is created if the client does not carry the session identity or the client has not yet selected to join the session.
  • isNew() method of the the current request and  true if the session is created in the current request and returns false if it is a pre-existing session.


request.getSession(false) returns the existing session object... otherwise returns null.... Suppose in our above example.. When you call the request.getSession() for the first time it will give HttpSession object and if you use request.getSession(false) it will return null since server not yet created the HttpSession object yet... Once the request.getSession is made from then onwards... if you call request.getSession(false) it will return valid HttpSession object because already HttpSession object is created by that time

RequestDispatcher

RequestDispatcher is an interface which is used to transfers the control from current web resource to another web resource (such as a Servlet, HTML, JSP) on the server.
RequestDispatcher interface is predefined in javax.servlet package.
RequstDispatcher can be get using getRequestDispacther() method of ServletRequest and/or from the ServletContext. Retrieved RequestDispatcher object is used as a wrapper around a server resource located at a particular path or given by a particular name.

It has two methods .

Include() method.
forward() method.

forward() method:-

The forward() method of Request Dispatcher is used to transfer the request between server resources,(Servlet to Servlet, HTM and JSP).
Servlet 1 gets the request from client and generates a response, which is not shown to user. The servlet 1 then transfer the request to servlet whose response is then sent back to client.
Any code written after forward(request, response) method will not execute as the request is already forwarded.
There is no record of the response of first servlet. This method is faster as compared to using sendRedirect because no network round trip to the server and back is required.

include() method:
includes the content of the requested resource (any of them jsp, servlet, heml, etc) on the server response.

syntax :

void include(request, response) throws ServletException, IOException

parameters :

request & response : These parameters must be the same as the responding servlet service method object's are passed.
