[appengine-java] Servlet Filter is receiving a null chain parameter from time to time
Hi, I wonder if somebody else has seen this error before. My application has a Servlet Filter (that sets Namespace) for all urls, and, from time to time, the Filter receives a null as value for chain parameter from the platform, so I get a NullPointerException as I try to follow the chain with chain.doFilter(req, resp). I have seen this specially when accessing an RPC method. Thanks, Eduardo G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

[google-appengine] Re: deploy failures
Jeff, I've come up to a better solution: just create a servlet 2.5 style header for web.xml. To to that, 1. Remove these two lines from web.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3// EN http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd; 2. Replace the first line (web-app) with this one: web-app xmlns=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee; version=2.5 On Nov 17, 1:48 pm, Jeff Schwartz jefftschwa...@gmail.com wrote: The https version isn't available either. Attempts to reference it in the web.xml file abort with the following message: Connection timed out: connect web.xml A temporary solution is to remove or comment out the reference to the dtd from the web.xml file until the issue is resolved which will permit you to deploy your application. Perhaps some other organization should step up and take responsibility for caching this file as Oracle doesn't seem to be the benevolent Java steward one would have hoped it would be. Perhaps Google itself could cache this on one of their servers and refactor the GWT plugin to reference that. I am growing increasingly weary of Oracle and their handling of Java. Makes me regret the day I ever thought they might be good for the language and I hope Google whoops their butt in court over the Android suit. And don't even get me started on their latest shenanigans with Apple over the JRE. Jeff On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 6:41 AM, Stream18 strea...@gmail.com wrote: I finally found the reason for this error. It is java.sun.com server that is failing to serve the DTD file we reference in our web.xml. It seems sun (now Oracle) servers for http are not serving well these days, maybe it is related with Oracle migrating java web servers to new platform. I solved this problem referencinghttps://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd (SSL secured version) instead of the original http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd in the web.xml file (DOCTYPE definition) There is another possibility: you can use and reference a local copy of this DTD file, see here how to do it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4195022/local-copy-of-http-java-su...

[google-appengine] Re: I'm in need of this kind of engine
Hi Terry, I have something similar to that, let me explain you just in case. I have an application deployed on GAE that I can configure from any place in the internet, as many proxies and firewalls are open to appspot.com. This is the case for my office. The application let me store URLs for places that I cannot access from my office (for instance, the URL of a site I own). Then a cron job will fetch those URLs for me from the appspot.com domain, that is outside my company's firewall and proxy, anf then will store the fetched html, that I can later check. The problem with this approach is that you cannot navigate from page to page from your browser, just retrieve data every minute or so, and you cannot do transactions. For that you would need a proxy as Geoffrey told you.

It's called a proxy server, and if it's already on GAE it most likely won't work because it would be blocked by the same firewall blocking requests to the other application. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
