Permission denied in jnlp trying call showDocument with a pdf file - pdf

I need some help with this showDocument in my jnlp aplication.
I trying to show a pdf file in another tab from browser, but the java plugin denied.
My JNLP file has a
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
and my code is:
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction()
{
#Override
public Object run()
{
try
{
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("file:///C:/Contrato.PDF"), "_blank");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
showException("Erro ao exibir arquivo:" + e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
});
but I receive the exception
java.lang.SecurityException: showDocument url permission denied
If I try to do showDocument(google.com, _blank) that works...but when I try to show any file, it does not work.

The showDocument(URL) method of AppletContext was never intended for launching files off the local file-system (even when specified as a file protocol URL).
There are at least two alternatives:
The JNLP snippet indicates this is a trusted app., so for a 1.6+ app., Desktop.browse(URI) can be invoked.
The BasicService of the JNLP API offers the showDocument(URL) method.

custom login module to access httpservletrequest in JBOSS EAP

I am developing a custom login module for jboss' jaas implementation. I would like to be able to access the HttpServletRequest object inside my login module. Does anyone know the best way to do this, if it's possible? I've been researching this, and so far I think I need to use a Callback of some kind, but I'm not sure.I found some WebSphere documentation that shows they have a WSServletRequestCallback that seems to be able to do this. Please suggest a simple example or documentation if jboss' jaas implementation have anything like this.
Update:
#kwart: As per your suggestion, I coded the following. Please suggest if this is the right way:
protected CallbackHandler _callbackHandler;
HttpServletRequest request = null;
ObjectCallback objectCallback = null;
Callback[] callbacks = new Callback[1];
callbacks[0] = objectCallback = new ObjectCallback("HttpServletRequest: ");
try
{
_callbackHandler.handle(callbacks);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
logger.logp(Level.SEVERE, CLASSNAME, METHOD_NAME, "Error handling callbacks", e);
}
try
{
if (objectCallback != null)
{
request = (HttpServletRequest) PolicyContext.getContext("javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest");
}
}
catch (PolicyContextException e) {
logger.logp(Level.SEVERE, CLASSNAME, METHOD_NAME, "Error getting request", e);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
logger.logp(Level.SEVERE, CLASSNAME, METHOD_NAME, "Exception occured augmenting JbossSubject", e);
}
You can use JACC PolicyContext to retrieve the HttpRequestObject in the LoginModule methods:
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) javax.security.jacc.PolicyContext
.getContext(HttpServletRequest.class.getName());
Update: Find sample usage in LoginModule here.
I got a solution from this site.
Used JSPI authentication. Configured an auth module in security domain in standalone as explained here .
Created a custom authenticator and a custom login module, configured the authenticator in jboss-web.xml and login module in security domain in standalone xml.
I jar'd them in a separate module and added that to jboss-deployment-structure.xml. Stored http request in ThreadLocal in the authenticator and retrieved it in my login module by simply reading the value stored in the Thread Local.

Notifying user download has finished.

Hi i have a command button.
I am using jsf 1.12 and tomahwak. I also am using jquery on client side.
<h:commandButton type="submit" value="Download Receipt"
onclick="refresh();"
id="downloadDocument"
actionListener="#{transactionPage.downloadReceipt}"
immediate="true"
/>
My jsf backing bean function
public void downloadReciept(final ActionEvent event) {
try{
DocManager docManager = new DocManager();
docManager.printDocs();
}catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Fail to download document!", e);
}
}
print docs would just create a file and stream it by setting the content-type, response, etc.
File sourceFile = createDoc();
Url url = sourceFile.toURI().toURL();
streamDoc(url);
I want to be able to display a message when downloading is starting and message when it finished
Hi thanks found my solution.
I change to commandLink than
set the cookie in backend and use jquery's file download

Exception error in google doc api

I am new to google api. I am trying to create a simple web application (Java EE) to read DocumentListFeed from google doc. My code in the servlet is:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
try
{
DocsService service = new DocsService("Document List Demo");
service.setUserCredentials(NAME, PASSWORD);
response.getWriter().println("helloooooo");
//URL documentListFeedUrl = new URL("http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents/private/full");
URL documentListFeedUrl = new URL("https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full?v=3");
DocumentListFeed feed = service.getFeed(documentListFeedUrl, DocumentListFeed.class);
for(DocumentListEntry entry : feed.getEntries())
{
response.getWriter().println(entry.getTitle().getPlainText());
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
response.getWriter().println(e);
}
}
But it is showing me the error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/gdata/client/docs/DocsService
I am using Glassfish server and Ecllipse. And added external jar file: activation.jar, guava-r07.jar, mail.jar, servlet.jar, gdata-client-1.0.jar, gdata-client-meta-1.0.jar, gdata-core-1.0.jar, gdata-media-1.0.jar, gdata-docs-3.0.jar, gdata-docs-meta-3.0.jar.
I have copied this same code to java standard edition and it is working fine. Could please tell me why this thing is not working in Java EE? Is it a problem in GlassFish server?
It just means that the jars are not present in your Glassfish server classpath.
Add all the jars you listed to yuor glassfish server classpath. Since am not an Glassfish expert i cannot help you in adding the jars to your server.
In case of weblogic, you just need to package all the jars in your project APP-INF directory.
Hope it helps.

Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC'

I'm using Sap Jco to connect to SAP database with the front end being Java(JSF), When I connect to SAP with:
try {
mConnection =JCO.createClient("400", // SAP client
"c3026902", // userid
"********", // password
"EN", // language
"iwdf5020", // host name
"00"); // system number
mConnection.connect();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
Problem I'm facing is when run the application for the first time, data is displayed but when I re-run it says "Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC' "
Can any one help me in resolving the issue?????
This sounds like the API cannot load the native driver files.
The SAP Java Connector consists of a native runtime part, that does the actuall communication and a Java API that wraps this functionality with a java api.
The Java API is inside the sapjco.jar and the native drivers are e.g on windows inside librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll.
Place these dll's into your system path (e.g. windows: C:\WiNDOWS\system32) and it should run.
Cheers
Sebastian
Are your DLLs located in the Windows system32 folder? If so, are you probably using the wrong architecture? (x64 DLL on 32 bit or vice versa)
Also, are the DLLs the same version as the java api? If you have SAP GUI installed there could be older DLLs around.
Defining SAP connection:
For the Version 3,0 of the sapjco library there exists plenty of useful information. To create a connection following the instructions in:
http://www.browseye.com/linkShare.html?url=http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/46/fb807cc7b46c30e10000000a1553f7/content.htm?bwsCriterion=%22Setting%20Up%20Connection%22&bwsMatch=1&bwsCriterion=%22Setting%20Up%20Connection%22&bwsMatch=1
There are a few thing that you should take into account:
Place the dll file in the same place that the jar.
The dll must be the right version for your operating system and architecture otherwise you will get a native library error.
Example of code to create a connection to the server.
public class StepByStepClient
{
static String DESTINATION_NAME1 = "ABAP_AS_WITHOUT_POOL";
static String DESTINATION_NAME2 = "ABAP_AS_WITH_POOL";
static
{
Properties connectProperties = new Properties();
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_ASHOST, "ls4065");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_SYSNR, "85");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_CLIENT, "800");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_USER, "homofarber");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PASSWD, "laska");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_LANG, "en");
createDestinationDataFile(DESTINATION_NAME1, connectProperties);
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_POOL_CAPACITY, "3");
connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PEAK_LIMIT, "10");
createDestinationDataFile(DESTINATION_NAME2, connectProperties);
}
static void createDestinationDataFile(String destinationName, Properties connectProperties)
{
File destCfg = new File(destinationName+".jcoDestination");
try
{
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destCfg, false);
connectProperties.store(fos, "for tests only !");
fos.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to create the destination files", e);
}
}
public static void step1Connect() throws JCoException
{
JCoDestination destination = JCoDestinationManager.getDestination(DESTINATION_NAME1);
System.out.println("Attributes:");
System.out.println(destination.getAttributes());
System.out.println();
}
}
In SAPJco 3.0 connections are build from the info contained in a “Destination”.
The documentation example use a properties file to save the “Destination”. However it is a non-secure way to keep connection info. As is indicated on the documentation in the hightlighted paragraph you can see on next link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/5fb9f9b523501ee10000000a421937/content.htm?bwsCriterion=%22In%20practice%20you%20should%20avoid%20this%20for%20security%20reasons.%22&bwsMatch=1
You can keep connection info on a database or any other storage system if you create a custom “DestinationDataProvider” In the Examples provided with the SAPJco library there is an example of how to create a custom DestinationDataProvider.

Try to make a Connection Pool with Tomcat 6

I really am having a nightmare configuring Tomcat to set up a connection pool. I have done a lot of reading of various forums and the documents from Tomcat but am having to ask here as a last resort. This is the first time I have tried to get connections from the container so it's all new to me.
I have been having NameNotFoundException's which only seem to be fixed when I put the context.xml file back from MyApp/META-INF/context.xml to Tomcat 6.0/conf/context.xml, so for some reason it's not seeing the context.xml file in MyApp's META-INF directory. Any ideas?
Now I am getting an SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (''#'localhost' (using password:YES))
First of all it suprises me that the user is blank because I have specified 'root' in the context.xml. As for not being able to create a PoolableConnectionFactory, I have seen a couple of example context.xml files that had a factory attribute. Do I need this? If so what class should I specify there?
My context.xml is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context>
<!-- Configure a JDBC DataSource for the user database -->
<Resource name="jdbc/searchdb"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
auth="Container"
user="root"
password="mypassword"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/search"
maxActive="8"
maxIdle="4"/>
<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!--<WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource>-->
</Context>
I have seen a context.xml with a WatchedResource elemnt for the META-INF/context.xml. I tried it but it didn't seem to make a difference and it seems strange to me so I have commented it out. Should I actually be including it?
My test servlet:
package search.web;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import search.model.*;
public class ConPoolTest extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
Context ctx = null;
DataSource ds = null;
Connection conn = null;
try {
ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/searchdb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
if(conn != null) {
System.out.println("have a connection from the pool");
}
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch(NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if(conn!=null) {
conn.close();
}
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
I look forward to your suggestions.
Many thanks
Joe
PS I would have also listed the stack trace, but for some reason it is showing up in the console, but not in the logs.
Update:
Now that I look at the error message again I'm wondering what it is that is denying me access. I assumed that it was the database, but is itactually the container? Do I need to set up some sort of authentication in the tomcatusers.xml file?
The Tomcat docs for JNDI Datasources contain complete examples how to setup JDBC data sources in the context.xml
Some comments to your question:
Tomcat should copy the context.xml from your app's WAR to conf/Catalina/localhost/app.xml during deployment (when it unpacks your app). The file should not go to conf/. Check whether you have an old copy lying around in these places and clean that up.
The error that it's using the wrong user also suggests that there is more than a single context.xml and you're looking at the wrong one.
You don't need PoolableConnectionFactory with Tomcat 6. This might be cruft left from an update from Tomcat 5 or something broke and they tried several things and forgot to clean up the config file.
Tomcat automatically watches web.xml; there is no need to make it a WatchedResource a second time.
