New Servlet to LiveSite Runtime

Hi,

We are adding a new custom HTTP servlet to LiveSite runtime. Even though all configurations in web.xml and servlet-resource-config.xml for the new servlet looks fine and servlet class file also exist but its not working. We are not able to hit the servlet at all.

Code snippet of "servlet-resource-config.xml"
bean id="runtime.servlet.NewServlet" class="com.test.servlet.NewServlet"

Code snippet of "web.xml"
servlet-name => runtime.servlet.NewServlet
servlet-class ==> com.interwoven.livesite.spring.web.servlet.DelegatingHttpServletProxy

servlet-mapping
servlet-name ==> runtime.servlet.NewServlet
url-pattern ==> /NewServlet/*

Its taking us to in "InvalidSite.jsp".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Atul

livesite filters on * and sends to the rendering engine. it's trying to parse your servlet as site url. you might have to use a filter instead and have it before the livesite filter in the web.xml

Has anyone managed to get a handle on the current BaseRequestContext object when calling a custom servlet filter?

Yes, we have successfully created a servlet and got requestcontext handle to render pages. Whats your question.

Yes, we have successfully created a servlet and got requestcontext handle to render pages. Whats your question.

My requirement is like this..

In my .page when user clicks on a link he should download the image related to that link.
i tried before simply using href attribute of anchor tag. But problem is the image is opened in a new tab in the browser instead i have to force it to get a dialog box.
I have referenced web and found out that i should use a server side program to set the header content-type to application instead of image .

So, i thought i should write a servlet for this.
can you tell me steps involved in this?

What is understand from post is .

1.we have to create a servlet ... where do we create in same LiveSitecustomer_src ?

2.How do we create. do you have a example code snippet?

3.and an entry in web.xml .which includes filtering also

4.Do we need to create an entry in servlet-resource-config.xml also as mentioned above?

Is that all that we have to do? how does it work in preview ?

Thanks alot.

Please can you provide a sample way of integrating it to livesite runtime.

I have added the servlet-mappings to the web.xml and still unable to call the servlet.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

You can point the link to a page which has a pre-controller. The pre-controller should be passed the reference to the image (relative path will make it easy). The method in your pre-controller should read the image and send the content of the image in servletOutputStream. make sure to set the content-type of the response according to the file extension ("image/gif" or "image/jpg" etc).

Hope this will do the job for you.
