JSP in ColdFusion issue

I am running into a bit of an issue.  We are trying to implement a mouse signature pad called EZ-Signature.  It is a java based package, that seems to be designed around JSP.  There are no Javadocs or anything similar that I can use to address it directly in java.  The only examples thay have are all done in JSP.   SOI have the jsp beling called properly, but the page is reporting an error in the Java/JSP.  It is unable to find the functions in the jar files.(com.ez_signature.signature for instance).  We are running CF6.1 (yes I know hehehe) The jar files are in C:\CFusionMX\wwroot\web-inf\lib and the .properties files are in the classes folder.  Here’s the code that I am invoking…any idea on what I am doing wrong… <META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*,com.ez_signature.signature.*;"%> <%       try {             String throughParms = "";             String url = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request).toString();             String domain = WebUtil.getDomain(request);             String section = WebUtil.getSection(request);             String http = (url.indexOf("https") > -1 ?

Eric, All the code you have posted you should be able to rewrite in CFML pretty easily, you don't even need their Java utilities, they are just used to extract the domain from the url, etc. One thing you might need is the SaveServlet, you might need to define a servlet mapping for this in your web.xml file, I am not sure what that Servlet does, but you can probably rewrite that in CF too. -- Pete Freitag http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://petefreitag.com/ - My Blog http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

There is some XML code that is in the web.xml... Here is how it is called... <td colspan="8" valign="middle" style="padding:2px;"><cfscript>GetPageContext().include("signature_pad.jsp");</cfscript></td> Here is the xml in web.xml... <servlet>   <servlet-name>SaveServlet</servlet-name>   <servlet-class>com.ez_signature.signature.SaveServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping>   <servlet-name>SaveServlet</servlet-name>   <url-pattern>/SaveServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> I am not sure what that does 100%...but I would assume that it is to save the signature image when you click on the button to do so...that is just a guess.

The url doesn't resolve unless I add that folder and put the jar files in the web root.  Now correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Cf supposed to look in c:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\web-inf\lib for the jar files regardless if you are using the built in server or IIS/Apache?

Yes, for servlets, but this includes an applet run through the browser. So you need to make that available to the browser.

OK...so I added the directory to the actual web root and now I get the following error: Java Plug-in 1.6.0_18 Using JRE version 1.6.0_18-b07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator ---------------------------------------------------- c:   clear console window f:   finalize objects on finalization queue g:   garbage collect h:   display this help message l:   dump classloader list m:   print memory usage o:   trigger logging q:   hide console r:   reload policy configuration s:   dump system and deployment properties t:   dump thread list v:   dump thread stack x:   clear classloader cache 0-5: set trace level to <n> ---------------------------------------------------- basic: Added progress listener: sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter$GrayBoxProgressListener@6355dc basic: Applet loaded. basic: Applet resized and added to parent container basic: PERF: AppletExecutionRunnable - applet.init() BEGIN ; jvmLaunch dt 657965 us, pluginInit dt 229256641 us, TotalTime: 229914606 us network: Cache entry not found [url: https://localhost/jobappl_qa/EzApplet/ezsign-applet.properties, version: null] network: Connecting https://localhost/jobappl_qa/EzApplet/ezsign-applet.properties with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting http://localhost:443/ with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting https://localhost/jobappl_qa/EzApplet/ezsign-applet.properties with cookie "CFID=200; CFTOKEN=80699936; JSESSIONID=1030f248a0dd$CF$8C$F" basic: Removed progress listener: sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter$GrayBoxProgressListener@6355dc java.lang.SecurityException: Unauthorized Applet Use!   at com.ez_signature.signature.Sign.init(Sign.java:61)   at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)   at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Unauthorized Applet Use!

Unauthorized Applet Use is almost assuredly a java security policy error. You'll need to use the PolicyTool to create a policy file that will reside in your user.home directory that specifies that this applet codebase can do what it wants to do, which is probably to access your system hardware.

We are using the Topaz capture devices and then wrote an applet ourselves to use the Topaz Java drivers. That way we can expose the Java functions for starting/stopping/clearing/capturing via JS and integrate it into our web-based app. As to why they make it so difficult, well, Java has a fairly robust security model and the whole Applet system was set up, originally,  to do a very good job of separating the code that would execute in your browser from the rest of the OS, much like how Flash wasn't able to really talk to your computer at all for a long time. This has the upside of not having the same gnarly security problems that ActiveX has had but has the downside of making it a pain in the ass to access anything outside the browser context.

I finally heard back from the company that makes this.  Apparently I needed to put the properties file in the directory with the jar files in my web root.  Putting these files in the lib and classes dirs in the CF wwwroot\web-inf dir doesn't work at all.  Oy!

We've been working with a (different) signature capture applet as well and one thing I'll mention that has caused us problems is that the applet needs proper security permissions in order to access the system hardware (COM ports and the like). If you do not have the correct java security policy file in place, you'll get completely spurious errors from the applet like "FileNotFoundException" in spite of the fact that the jar file is being found.
