Newbie: Trying to 'call' JSP from CFML (example doesn't work)

Report · Mar 13, 2012

Hi,

I am (really) just getting started with CFML, so I got ColdFusion 8 Developer deployed onto a GlassFish 3.1.1 server.

I put a copy of a small hello.cfm into the <GF_DOMAIN>/applications/cfusion/ directory, and when I point a browser to http://<host>:8080/cfusion/hello.cfm, I get the "Hello world".

So next, I'm trying to 'call' a JSP from a CFML page, and I found this example:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Java_6.html

I put a copy of the CFML at cfusion/hellojsp.cfm:

<cfapplication name="myApp" sessionmanagement="yes">
<cfscript>
Request.myVariable = "This";
Session.myVariable = "is a";
Application.myVariable = "test.";
GetPageContext().include("hello.jsp?name=Bobby");
</cfscript>

and also created a cfusion/hello.jsp per the above link:

<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<h2>Hello <%= request.getParameter("name")%>!</h2>
<br>Request.myVariable: <%= request.getAttribute("myVariable")%>
<br>session.myVariable: <%= ((Map)(session.getAttribute("myApp"))).get("myVariable")%>
<br>Application.myVariable: <%= ((Map)(application.getAttribute("myApp"))).get("myVariable")%>

In other words, in the <GF_DOMAIN>/applications/cfusion directory, I have:

hellojsp.cfm

hello.jsp

However, if I point the browser to either http://<host>:8080/cfusion/hellojsp.cfm or http://<host>:8080/cfusion/hello.jsp, I get a 500 error.

In the GlassFish server.log, I get the following:

INFO: 03/13 21:17:24 Error [http-thread-pool-8080(5)] - coldfusion.jsp.JspWriterIncludeResponse.getStatus()I The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\applications\cfusion\hellojsp.cfm, line: 6

Can anyone tell me what might be causing this problem?

Thanks,

Hi,

I've been "dissecting" the hello.jsp and the .cfm, and it appears that:

1) From within the hello.jsp, all the "myVariable" variables appear to be null (i.e., they are set in the .cfm, but when the hello.jsp is invoked, they are null, and

2) In hello.jsp, the line where "session.getAttribute()" is called is blowing up, causing the 500 error.

but, I'm not sure why either of the above things are happening?

Hi,

I just got things working:

1) The Request variable name apparently has to be lower-case ('myvariable", rather than "myVariable"). This was causing the request variable not to be passed to the hello.jsp, and

2) In the CF admin, the "use J2EE session variables" under "Server Settings" ==> "Memory variables" was unchecked, and I had to check/enable that.

So, now, the example .cfm/jsp work.

Hi,

Sigh ... I thought I had this solved, and, in fact, I do get a correct output webpage now.

However, if I use that small .cfm, with the .forward(), whenever I access it, I get an error/stacktrace:
