Runtime Errors with Dynamic EL Code

Bear Bibeault wrote:OK, the formatting of the code made me miss where the handler was passed.

No, as it simplest, a POST is mostly used when a non-idempotent operation is to be executed on the server. There's a little more than that to it, but that'll do for our purposes.

Getting data, even if its pre-formatted HTML, is clearly a GET.

And, if the intent is to load the formatted HTML returned as the response into the DOM, that's where the jQuery .load() method is really handy.

Still is not working as expected, but closer.

My AJAX call:

My servlet code:

Console output:

<select class='ncrquefilterinputs_select ncrvc r-margin' data-inputfield='vendorcode' data-quefiltersource='search'>
<c:forEach var='itemName3' varStatus='status3' items='${defaultpramsObj.vendorList}'>
<option value='${itemName3.optionValue}'>${itemName3.optionDesc}</option>
</c:forEach></select>

My container code:

The select2 list is displayed with only one item - "${itemName3.optionDesc}"

Runtime Errors with Dynamic EL Code

And why is it a POST?

Return code:(I thought this handled the response.)

I thought you used a post if the servlet response was not dispatching another view.

I learn every day and I thank you for all the help you have been over the years.

My first select list each option has a data attribute that associates to a session defined list. I want to assign this data attribute to the wValue3 variable.

After thinking about this the only way I may get it to work is by using ajax. But you may have a better way I am hoping.

I have tried the AJAX method, the list displays but is not populated as expected.

Servlet code:

Thanks for the insight. My quest is to reduce the number of objects having to be created on the heap. I have "Out of Memory" issues from time to time. I thought that minimizing the number of times a class is constructed might help.

My JVM is set to 3G already. My compiled app(deployed) size is almost 1G. The app will run for several days even a week or more then the heap size grows beyond the max.

I think I may have a different approach to the more dynamic lists. The app contains what I call modules, set up as a navigation menu. Not every user needs access or has access to every module.
They can pick and choose which ones they want in their menu to a certain extent.
In the log on servlet I could analyze the module criteria and determine which lists it would need and load these into session attributes.

As I have stated before, currently every list loads into a default class set to a session attribute when the first servlet in app is called even if it is never accessed.

Where to put global objects in Java web app

Bear Bibeault wrote:ServletContext.getAttribute()

Of course, you've got to put it there first.

Think about it, of what use is sticking it into a member variable of the listener? You want to put all your "global" data into the application context (aka ServletContext).

This is what I have now and it seems to work when I use it in my JSTL code.

package com.FAIWebApp;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.util.List;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import com.FAIWebApp.mrv.MRVShipMethodList;
public class StartUpParms implements ServletContextListener  {
@Override
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent servletContextEvent) {
        System.out.println("StartUpParms: Starting up!");
        
        MRVShipMethodList mrvShipViaOptionList = null;
       
        try{
Connection dc = new DataConnection().getAs400conn();
try{
mrvShipViaOptionList = new MRVShipMethodList(dc);
}
finally{
dc.close();
}
servletContextEvent.getServletContext().setAttribute("mrvshipviaoptionListObj", mrvShipViaOptionList);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
       
        System.out.println("StartUpParms: " + e);
        e.printStackTrace();
       
        }
       
    }
    @Override
    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent servletContextEvent) {
        System.out.println("Shutting down!");
    }
}

Where to put global objects in Java web app

Paul Clapham wrote:Execute code on webapp startup and shutdown using ServletContextListener

To that I would add: from the ServletContextEvent object passed to the contextInitialized method you can get a ServletContext; to add an object to application scope you can call its setAttribute(name, object) method. Elsewhere in your app you can easily get a ServletContext and call getAttribute(name) to retrieve that object, or in JSTL it's very easy to access objects in application scope.

Still not sure I am doing this correctly:

I have my listener created and a list added to it. How do I access the list in my app?

Paul Clapham wrote: ...then you should be putting them in application scope rather than in session scope...

First thanks for your help in this matter.

So would the lists get loaded when I started the application server? If changes were made I could just restart the server.

Is there a certain way or place I put the list so they belong to the application? I am using WebSphere and eclipse. Or do I have to do this on the application server?

Where to put global objects in Java web app

Was not sure what to put in subject line and not sure this is the correct forum.

In my web app I have a function that runs when first loading where I create several(50+) class objects that hold various lists that will be used in the application. I assign this function output to a session attribute so the app can access it.

For example a list of supplier names and data. This list is populated from a remote data result.

Each time a user accesses the application(separate session of the application) this list would be created for that session. Or I assume this is what is happening.

Here is my application design question. Is there a way that these lists could be at some global level in the application so each session would not have to construct its own class object of the list?

Is this sort of thing a candidate for a Web Service? Would this be more efficient? Or is the way I have it designed the correct way?

I an trying to reduce the heap size of the application.
