Null Pointer Exception while communicating between servlets - java

I have login code in one servlet:LoginGtalkServlet..
XMPPConnection connection;
//#see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String userName = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
System.out.println(userName);
System.out.println(password);
//ProxyInfo proxyInfo = new
ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("talk.google.com",5222,"gmail.com");
connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(false);
try {
connection.connect();
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
connection.login(userName, password);
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
boolean status=connection.isAuthenticated();
if(status==true)
{
System.out.println("Success");
response.sendRedirect("GetRoster");
}
else
{
response.sendRedirect("Loginfailed.html");
}
And my GetRosterServlet has the code for retreving the roster list
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
Roster roster = connection.getRoster();
Collection<RosterEntry> entries = roster.getEntries();
for (RosterEntry r : entries) {
String user = r.getUser();
String name = r.getName();
System.out.println(name + user);
}
roster.addRosterListener(new RosterListener() {
// Ignored events public void entriesAdded(Collection<String>
// addresses) {}
public void entriesDeleted(Collection<String> addresses) {
}
public void entriesUpdated(Collection<String> addresses) {
}
public void presenceChanged(Presence presence) {
System.out.println("Presence changed: " + presence.getFrom()
+ " " + presence);
}
#Override
public void entriesAdded(Collection<String> arg0) {
}
});
}
Now the isssue is my GetRosterServlet is not informed that I haved logged into Gtalk..i.e LoginGtalkServlet is not communicating with GetRosterServlet and hence connection.getRoster() is throwing Null pointer exception...
How do I let the roster servlet know that the user is logged into gtalk and hence get the friends list

Note that I'm not familiar with XMPP/GTalk.
When you log in to it in LoginGtalkServlet, is it possible for you to be handed back some sort of session ID? If so, you could put that into the redirect URL as a query parameter or in a POST body and then GetRosterServlet could extract the session ID from request and use it to Gtalk via that session ID.
(Note: the edit I just made was just to fix some bad grammar. No substantive changes.)

You can save the connection object in the session attribute.
session .setAttribute("connection", connectionObj);
And can get by using session.getAttribute("connection");

how to redirect user for accessing to a page from URL in java?

I am coming to a problem where I have loginFilter where I dont want the user to access a page when they are logged in with the URL. So, all I want to do is redirect the user to the index page. Here is my code below. Thank you.
public class LoginFilter implements Filter {
#Override
public void init(final FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
}
#Override
public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, final FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
String username = req.getHeader("username");
String password = req.getHeader("password");
if(username == null) {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
return;
}
try {
req.login(username, password);
chain.doFilter(request, response);
} catch (ServletException e) {
((HttpServletResponse)response).setStatus(StatusCodes.UNAUTHORIZED);
}
}
#Override
public void destroy() {
}
}
Change your method as :
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)response;
try {
req.login(username, password);
res.sendRedirect("/index");
} catch (ServletException e) {
// you can use SC_UNAUTHORIZED(401) from HttpServletResponse class as well
res.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
}

Data inconsistency in multithreaded environment

I have created an application which reads & writes into a remote file. I have different files (A.properties, B.properties, C.properties) in different directories (folder-1, folder-2, folder-3). Each directory has the same filename with different data.
I have implemented concurrency in my application by using the LockRegistry provided by this other answer. The issue is that if a thread is accessing A.properties while another thread accesses B.properties, the propertyMap displayed to the end user will contain both data from property files. How can I resolve this issue?
My code:
public class UDEManager
{
private Map<String, String> propertyMap = new TreeMap<>();
HttpSession session = null;
public UDEPropertyManager()
{
super();
}
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
doPost(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
// Code for calling thread for read/write operations into remote
// file and fill the propertyMap
}
}
class WebAppProperty implements Runnable
{
private WebApp webapp; // folder-1
private String propertyFile; // A.properties
private String keyValue; //messages-title=Messages
private LockType mode;
public String getPropertyFile()
{
return propertyFile;
}
public void setPropertyFile(String propertyFile)
{
this.propertyFile = propertyFile;
}
#Override
public void run()
{
try {
LockRegistry.INSTANCE.acquire(propertyFile, mode);
if (this.mode == LockType.WRITE) {
writeToPropertyFile();
} else if (this.mode == LockType.READ) {
getProperty(this.webapp, this.propertyFile);
}
} catch (Exception ie) {
sysoutAndLog("Thread is Interrupted");
ie.printStackTrace();
} finally {
LockRegistry.INSTANCE.release(propertyFile, mode);
}
}
private boolean getProperty(WebApp webapp, String property)
{
try {
// read from file and put it into Map instance variable
// of calling class (UDEManager)
propertyMap.put(key, value);
} catch(Exception e) {
sysoutAndLog("Error while reading property ");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
private void writeToPropertyFile()
{
try {
// Write data into remote file
} catch (Exception e) {
sysoutAndLog("exception while writing to file.");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
You should associate the properties map with the user session or request

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.csvreader.CsvReader

I'm developing an application for sending bulk emails from multiple senders in a continuous loop. Sender email-ID's are stored in a csv file and I am reading that in ReadFile class and calling it in servlet class where I am also calling an email utility class which have email sending functions.
ReadFile.java

System.out.println("Sender ID is: "+SenderID );
al.add(SenderID);
}
senders.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return al;

How to resolve this error.
You're missing the opencsv.jar library.
Specify it in your java command with
java -cp opencsv.jar:...
By adding servlet-api.jar from apache tomcat library in to projects->properties->java build path, Solved the error.

java servlet submit button doesn't work

I'm been writing a small login servlet. The login part works just fine, but when I press logout submit button - nothing happens.
Servlet code down bellow:
public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 7638796169158385551L;
private Database database = Database.getInstance();
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.write("<html><head><title>Login form</title></head>");
if (!database.connected) {
outLoginForm(out);
} else {
out.write("Hello " + database.getLoginName() + "!");
outLogoutForm(out);
}
out.write("</body></html>");
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
if (request.getParameter("loginsub") != null) {
if (isParameterEmpty(request, "login")
|| isParameterEmpty(request, "pass")) {
response.getWriter().write("Some fields are empty");
doGet(request, response);
}
try {
database.connect(request.getParameter("login"),
request.getParameter("pass"));
} catch (ExceptionInInitializerError ex) {
response.getWriter().write("Login or password is incorrect");
}
} else if (request.getParameter("logoutsub") != null) {
database.disconnect();
}
doGet(request, response);
}
private boolean isParameterEmpty(HttpServletRequest request,
String parameter) {
if (request.getParameter(parameter).isEmpty())
return true;
return false;
}
protected void outLoginForm(PrintWriter out) {
out.write("<FORM method =\"POST\">");
out.write("Login:<input type=\"text\"name=\"login\"><br>");
out.write("Password:<input type=\"password\"name=\"pass\"><br>");
out.write("<input type=\"submit\"name=\"loginsub\" value=\"Login\"/><br>");
out.write("</FORM><br>");
}
protected void outLogoutForm(PrintWriter out) {
out.write("<FORM method =\"POST>\">");
out.write("<input type=\"submit\"name=\"logoutsub\" value=\"Logout\"/><br>");
out.write("</FORM><br>");
}
}
Can anyone help me find out what's wrong? I'm new to JSP and java servlets.
There is one problem is below line (one extra > after POST
out.write("<FORM method =\"POST>\">");
replace it with
out.write("<FORM method =\"POST\">");

Can I implement HttpSessionListener this way?

I'm trying to tracking valid user Ids in my Java servlet, can I implement HttpSessionListener this way ?
public class my_Servlet extends HttpServlet implements HttpSessionListener
{
String User_Id;
static Vector<String> Valid_User_Id_Vector=new Vector<String>();
private static int activeSessions=0;
public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se)
{
// associate User_Id with session Id;
// add User_Id to Valid_User_Id_Vector
Out(" sessionCreated : "+se.getSession().getId());
activeSessions++;
}
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se)
{
if (activeSessions>0)
{
// remove User_Id from Valid_User_Id_Vector by identifing it's session Id
Out(" sessionDestroyed : "+se.getSession().getId());
activeSessions--;
}
}
public static int getActiveSessions()
{
return activeSessions;

How to get the listener notified when a session ends ? I'm trying to bypass "/WEB-INF.web.xml" all together, is it doable ? Or does it make sense ?
This won't bypass /WEB-INF/web.xml. Furthermore, you'll end up with 2 instances of this class, not 1 performing both functions. I suggest you put this Vector in the ServletContext and have 2 separate classes.
In the servlet, you get to it via getServletContext(). In the listener, you'll do something like this:
public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) {
Vector ids = (Vector) se.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute("currentUserIds");
//manipulate ids
}
