I know that we need to put this line of code in a HTML page for having an icon (corner of the website).
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="fav.ico" />
but if i have many JSP(s) and Servlet(s), is there any simple way instead of put that line of code into every single page of JSP(s) or even Servlet(s)?
The common way is that you write some codes as header and import it in all jsp pages like this:
<%# include file="/common/header.jsp"%>
There are other decoration frameworks like sitemesh which you can create template page with lots of abilities for your hole website.

I got in a database some html textparts. Normally they should make one whole html mail body with one html tag and one html close tag and also one for the body.
Sometimes these textparts contain for each line a html open tag and close tag and also a body open and close tag like this:
<html>
<body>
test1
</body>
</html>
<html>
<body>
test2
</body>
</html>
If I try to display a html page with 2 full webpages like in the example above in google chrome or IE of firefox it displays the content correctly and just displays the second page underneath the first. Also inside a mail client that uses html layout this works out fine.
Now in an application I have to display the content of the mail body in a htmlviewer.
I use javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit for this and this works fine if I have only one page. But when I got 2 or more it just shows the first one. I tried to embed the code inside another html tag but this didn't solve the issue.
Is there a method to display this webpage without rewriting the html code?
Maybe some option of javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit ?
I've been trying to write a website in which all navigation is handled by hiding and showing divs. It is my understanding that this method is called Single Page Interface. This has worked for simple designs in the past but my current task is starting to become very troublesome using this method. How would I go about replicating the same behavior but instead of hiding and showing divs I can just have a main container div that is then populated with the desired html from the server?
Example:
<script>
$("#button").onclick(function() {
$("#a").show();
$("#b").hide();
});
</script>
<html>
<body>
<div id="a" style="display:none;">A: SOME HTML</div>
<div id="b" style="display:block;">B: SOME HTML</div>
<button id="button">Change to A</button>
</body>
</html>
(note this is a very rough example of white I'm trying to do)
But I would like the contents of a container div to change from "B" to "A" via some jsp
Could anybody point in the correct direction?
Further Explanation:
Maybe I can clarify a little better. So when the user loads the page they are presented with a section that has a table of all the existing files in a database. The user can select a file from the DB list to rename or copy. If the user wishes to rename a file, for example, they would be presented with a new display (all within the same "Tab") which will have a set of fields populated for the file that they have selected and a set of empty fields in which they can specify the new file name. Currently this changing of displays is handled by showing and hiding divs, but I would like to retrieve the html that I want to display from the server and present it. Basically mimicking the hiding and showing of divs.
As it's not completely clear to me what you're trying to do I'll give you some options:
Replace the content of a element on your page see
Since you're using a JSP, you can use server side logic to display certain fragments
You're using a JSP, use that to render some server side content
Ad 1:
(assuming jQuery) $('body').load('serverSide.html'); see http://api.jquery.com/load/
Ad 2:
<% if ("a".equals(request.getParameter("aOrB"))) { %>
<jsp:include page="/a.jspf">
<% } else { %>
<jsp:include page="/b.jspf">
<% } %}
Ad 3:
<%= request.getAttribute('content') %>
Hope that helps
I have been using Jsoup for parsing my HTML files and so far it does a great job. However, it's not able to parse any server tags ( <% ... %> ). I decided to extend it but I cannot find an easy way to extend its Parser and all those private/package level classes (i.e. TreeBuilder, TransitionState ... etc)...
So I started looking at Jericho as it claims it can parse server tags - however, its documentation is so poor that I cannot even get started easily. And seems like its API is not as friendly as what Jsoup provides - it's not that straight forward to extract some nodes and move it around ...
I wonder if anyone has the similar situation before and how you get it solved? In short, I just want to parse JSP files in Java. (Well .. please don't ask me to implement one by myself ;p )
Lastly I get a workaround: put server code block in a HTML comment block so that 1) server code can get executed correctly; 2) Jsoup can process the whole block as a HTML comment node without touching anything inside.
e.g.
<!--
<%# page language="java" errorPage="/error.jsp" pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%# page import="com.systemcrossed.groupbuystart.webapp.display.DisplayHelper" %>
<%# page import="com.systemcrossed.groupbuystart.webapp.util.JsonUtil" %>
<%# page import="org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils" %>
<%# include file="/_sys/pages/public/incl/jspCommon.jsp" %>
-->
<!--<%
// Java code here
%>-->
<html>
<head>
... html stuff
It works well for me now! Hope ppl who got the same problem could get some help ! ;)
I've got a JSP page that I want to return a fragment of HTML. The trouble is that whenever I request the JSP, something is attempting to make the HTML more valid by wrapping <html> tags around it. I don't want it to do this though as it will be used in a variety of other places.
For an example, the following JSP:
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<script src="${applicationConfig.javascriptUrl}update.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<p>Wibble</p>
Will result in the following HTML:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head></head><script src="http://fisher.mycompany.com:8080/my-app/includes/js/update.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<p>Wibble</p></html>
I really don't want those <html> & <head> tags there and would like to get rid of them but have no idea where this is happening to turn it off. Does anyone have any clues?
* Edit *
To give a little more information on what I am trying to achieve. This JSP will check a variety of things and form a piece of HTML. This HTML can then be included into other applications via a web service call.
Servlets can return any content type including javascript and images, not just HTML. Tomcat should not wrap jsps in extraneous tags. I put the snippet you suggested in a jsp, minus the taglib which I don't have set up, and got back exactly the HTML that I put in.
Can you tell us more about your environment? Are you using tomcat? Are you using some kind of framework?
Servlets are HTML factories. They expect to send a valid HTML page down to a browser to be rendered. You can't "get rid of it" without breaking the whole model.
Your original concept of sending a snippet that's "used in a variety of other places" is flawed. You sound like to want to set some data that might be used in other places - that's valid - but I don't see how wrapping it in markup matters.
Only the JSP should be using the marked up data. JSPs are all about display. I'd rethink what you're doing and attack how you want to share the data, not the markup.
One approach it might work,
Create HTML files as you required valid HTML,
and use servlet to returns response, servlet should read HMTL File and return
its contents as String, like XML respones from servlet
hopes thats helps
When clicking a button, my GWT application returns a PDF file embedded in an HTML page which looks something like:
<html><head></head>
<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="rgb(38,38,38)">
<embed width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin"
src="http://myserver/?cmd=getMyPdf" type="application/pdf">
</body>
</html>
Problem is it can take a while for the server to create this PDF file, so what I want is a waiting screen with a loading animation which can have the PDF file download in the background, and then when the file is done, display the page as described above.
One obvious way would be to display a loading page, send an asynchronous command to the server and then once the onSucceed method is called, call the page as normal. Downside is I'd have to add some server-side logic for making the PDF creation work in the background...
Is there any way to do this client-side with the GWT API?
Did you see this stackoverflow question Detect when browser receives file download? Basically the answer given is that you set a cookie in the return response and wait on the client side for this cookie to be set. This can be done easily with GWT as it has a Scheduler (for the repeated timer check) and easy access to Cookies. You still need to make some server changes, but you don't have to create a background process.
I don't have the full answer, but the following code works for me in Safari, and maybe you can modify it, to make it work with other browsers, too (?):
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showPdf() {
document.getElementById("loading").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.getElementById("pdf").style.visibility = "visible";
}
</script>
</head>
<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="rgb(38,38,38)">
<div id="loading"
style="position: absolute; background-color: white;">Loading...</div>
<iframe id="pdf" width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin"
src="http://myserver/?cmd=getMyPdf" onload="javascript:showPdf();"
style="visibility: hidden;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
This is pure JavaScript - but could certainly be done with GWT, too. Note, that I'm using an iframe instead of embed, because embed doesn't really support the onload method (and embed is not a standard HTML element, as far as I remember).
The reason, why this may not be the full answer, is that Chrome fires the onload event as soon as the PDF starts downloading (but after the PDF generation on the server side has finished). I'm not sure, if this is what you want?
