Best way to Block Accessing given URL’s in Windows

Go To directory
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
open hosts file in notepad and add following text and save it.make sure you are the admin of the system else you may not be able to modify this file.site name and domain select as you need.in this case what windows system does is send request with the given site name to to the network address that we provided.since 127 is private ip range it does not redirect to any web site on internet.so this will shows server not found message.

How to change value of form element before submit(Remove white space from a form variable before submit) - java script code

Here what i need to do is remove white spaces from the username variable before submit to server.This add advantage because server no need to do additional processing. This is very useful because in most cases before submit usernames and most of other parameters we have to remove white spaces

 

<script type="text/javascript">

    function checkform()
    {
        var username=document.getElementById('txtUserName').value;
        username=username.trim();
        document.getElementById('txtUserName').value=username;
        return true;
    }

      String.prototype.trim = function ()
     {
         return this.replace(/^\s*/, "").replace(/\s*$/, "");

//Regular expression is used to remove white space
     }

    </script>

Add above script to your page and modify your submit action as follows so it will call above methods when submitting

 

<form target="_self" method="POST" action="../admin/login_action.jsp" id="loginForm" onSubmit="return checkform()">

How to create redirector in WSO2 Stratos

The url's that we typed normally goes through the redirector and filters so if you want to add
some changes you must aware about these.there so many files with same name in different components
so we have to redirect correctly and carefully
Let's see how we can add redirector
First we have to open redirector component in idea

1

then we have to create redirector file AboutPageFilter.java as follows and add to filters

package org.wso2.stratos.redirector.servlet.ui.filters;
import org.wso2.stratos.common.constants.StratosConstants;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.io.IOException;

public class AboutPageFilter implements Filter {
    ServletContext context;
    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
        context = filterConfig.getServletContext();
    }

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest,
                         ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws
            IOException, ServletException {
        if (!(servletRequest instanceof HttpServletRequest)) {
            // no filtering
            return;
        }
        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)servletRequest;
        if (request.getAttribute(StratosConstants.TENANT_SPECIFIC_URL_RESOLVED) != null) {
            // if the tenant specifc url filter is passed, we are not calling the login.jsp filter
            return;
        }

        String url = request.getRequestURI();
        // use the name admin in place of admin
        url = url.replaceAll("admin/docs/about.html", "tenant-dashboard/docs/about.html"); //url replace here
        RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher =
                request.getRequestDispatcher(url);
        requestDispatcher.forward(request, servletResponse);
    }

    public void destroy() {
        // nothing to destory
    }
}

Then we have to register that filter in utils.java file. We can add new method to utils file to register our filter
as follows.so below code registers our filter

public static void adminAboutRegisterServlet(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
        if (!CarbonUtils.isRemoteRegistry()) {
            HttpServlet reirectorServlet = new HttpServlet() {
                // the redirector filter will forward the request before this servlet is hit
                protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
                        throws ServletException, IOException {
                }
            };
            Filter redirectorFilter = new AboutPageFilter();
            Dictionary redirectorServletAttributes = new Hashtable(2);
            Dictionary redirectorParams = new Hashtable(2);
            redirectorParams.put("url-pattern", "/carbon/admin/docs/about.html"); //This url pattern will identified and apply filter
            redirectorParams.put("associated-filter", redirectorFilter);
            redirectorParams.put("servlet-attributes", redirectorServletAttributes);
            redirectorServiceRegistration = bundleContext.registerService(Servlet.class.getName(),
                    reirectorServlet, redirectorParams);
        }
    }

 

Then we have to activate our filter. We can activate our filter in RedirectorServletUIComponent.java file

public class RedirectorServletUIComponent {
     private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(RedirectorServletUIComponent.class);

    protected void activate(ComponentContext context) {
        try {
            Util.domainRegisterServlet(context.getBundleContext());
            Util.loginJspRegisterServlet(context.getBundleContext());
            Util.indexJspRegisterServlet(context.getBundleContext());
            Util.adminDocsRegisterServlet(context.getBundleContext());
           Util.adminAboutRegisterServlet(context.getBundleContext());

//Here we have activated our filter
            log.debug("******* Multitenancy Redirector Servlet UI bundle is activated ******* ");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("******* Multitenancy Redirector Servlet UI bundle failed activating ****", e);
        }
    }
    protected void deactivate(ComponentContext context) {
        log.debug("******* Multitenancy Redirector Servlet UI bundle is deactivated ******* ");
    }
}

So now we have successfully add filter and activated it.Now you can use this as you need in different locations in WSO2 Stratos

How to run server in debug mode with idea

Go to servers bin folder and start server as follws
sanjeewa@sanjeewa-laptop:/media/New Volume/wso2stratos-manager-1.0.0/bin$ sh wso2server.sh debug 5005

  1. Go to Run > Edit Configurations.
  2. Click the plus icon and choose Remote.
  3. Name your profile and hit "OK".
  4. Go to Run > Debug to connect to begin debugging

Then go to idea interface open corresponding project source go to remote debug
then set the same port from the UI, then press debug button. server will not start till we press debug button from idea UI

How to set session variables from JSP

set session variables using the command given below
session.setAttribute( "theName", "sanjeewa malalgoda" );
//session.setAttribute( "Attribute name", "Value" );

Get session variables using the command given below
<%= session.getAttribute( "theName" ) %>
//this may return null if there no such session variable

Set Cookies from JSP - example

Set Cookies as follows
You may need to add page import
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*"%>
<%
Cookie cookie = new Cookie ("username","sanjeewa malalgoda");
cookie.setMaxAge(365 * 24 * 60 * 60);
response.addCookie(cookie);
%>

Get Cookies as Follows
Here we search cookie for name username and display the results
<%
String cookieName = "username";
Cookie cookies [] = request.getCookies ();
Cookie myCookie = null;
if (cookies != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++)
{
if (cookies [i].getName().equals (cookieName))
{
myCookie = cookies[i]; break;
}
}
}
%>
<%
if (myCookie == null)
{
%>No Cookie found with the name <%=cookieName%>
<%
}
else
{
%>
Welcome: <%=myCookie.getValue()%>.
<%
}
%>
