Introduction
1
Scope
This document describes all the configurable parts of the IDM Browser Client for Unix
(IBCU). It should be used to assist in the building of custom web sites incorporating IBCU.
Chapter 2, HTML, JSP and JavaScript, lists and describes all of the standard Java Server
Pages and HTML pages provided with IBCU; it also describes the use of JSPs as a public
interface.
Chapter 3, Public Java APIs, lists all the public interface Java API components used by
IBCU to communicate with the CORBA objects on IDM Server. The components are
arranged according to the packages in which they are located.
Chapter 4, CORBA objects, describes all the standard CORBA objects used by IBCU.
Chapter 5, Error handling, describes error processing and gives examples of errorhandling code.
Additional information
If your IDM Server is based on the IDM database, note that it supports only a subset of
SQL functions. This subset is defined in the IDM Database Technical Reference.

Overview
This chapter lists all of the *.html, *.jsp, and *.js files used by IBCU. It also provides a
description of the “public interface”—how to invoke certain jsp files from the browser’s
address bar.
File lists
The following is a guide and outline only; it is not intended to be a fully detailed technical
description.
Files used by the off-the-shelf IBCU during runtime are listed in Table 1. Additional files,
provided as examples, are listed in Table 2. Each table is in alphabetical order.
The return code from IBCU JavaBeans is available for processing at the JSP level (via the
exception catching mechanism). To use this facility, any JSP that executes IBCU JavaBeans
must include:
import='com.towertechnology.jsp.generic.TdpJbException'
or:
import='com.towertechnology.jsp.generic.*'
For example:
<%@ page language="java"
import='com.towertechnology.jsp.generic.TdpJbException' session="true"
errorPage="/jsp/ttuwserror.jsp" %>
NOTE: All pages listed in the following table include /jsp/include/TdpJspCommon.jsp, and
almost all include the standard error page errorPage="/jsp/ttuwserror.jsp”

Description
Dependencies
This is the main JSP page related to
the viewer applet. It is similar to
TdpJspDoc.jsp; it detects browser
type (IE or Netscape) and the size of
the frame to fit the Applet Viewer,
downloads the Applet Viewer, and
displays the requested document. For
example, executing:
?ifn=222/2-264
&npages=1&appname=demo
displays the same document as the
example for TdpJspDoc.jsp, this time
in the viewer applet.
If
?appname=demo&ifn=222/2-264
is executed (npages is not specified),
and this is a multi-page document,
then npages is populated with the
total number of pages in this
document, allowing next page/
previous page/goto page operations.
If npages is supplied, then the
supplied value will be used regardless
of the actual number of pages. No
additional validation/tests will be
performed.

Required parameters:
appname
the IDM application of the requested document
ifn
the IFN of the requested document
Optional parameters:
npages
the total number of pages in the requested document; if not
supplied, then it will be set to the total number of pages in the
requested document. This will allow next page/previous page/
goto page toolbar operations.
If supplied, then this value will be used regardless of the actual
number of pages. (For example, npages can be set to 97 even if the
document contains 15 pages, or only 1 page, so that page 97 does
not exist.) No additional validation/tests will be performed.
pg
the number of the page to be displayed. Should be in the range 1..
npages; default is 1
subpg
the number of the subpage to be displayed; default is 1
zoom

External validation
IBCU allows custom-defined validation functions to be used to validate input fields. These
fields include “input” and “select” (drop-down list box) fields in QBE, indexing, and title
forms. Although the same custom validation can be achieved by providing a custom JSP
which executes a custom validation directly, the recommended way is to use the facility
provided. The advantages of doing so are:
• Consistency with standard IBCU and standard IDM Client;
• Ease of configuring and checking the settings.
Creating an external validation routine
1.
Set up the validation module/function using IDM System Administration. (Refer to the
IDM System Administration User Guide for details.)
2.
Write a custom validation function in Javascript. Ensure that it is appropriately named
(<filename>.js) and stored in the standard IBCU Javascript directory, $TDP_WS_HOME/
tower/jsp/jscript. The function must have one parameter, the value of the id property
of the field; it must return true when the value in the field is valid, and false
otherwise.
In standard IBCU, the id parameter is transparent and does not have to be supplied or
known (apart from defining it as a parameter in the custom validation function).
This method provides easy and unambiguous access to a particular field. For example, to
retrieve the value of a specific field:
if (document.getElementById(i).value == "test")
(This fragment is copied from the function isTestField in the sample file
TdpExtValidateFns.js, which is included in the standard IBCU installation.)
NOTE: Fields of type date are split into three separate ID numbers. So, for example, if the
first field is a date field, it will use ID values of 0, 1, and 2; then the second field will have
an ID value of 3.
The Javascript file name must then be defined as a module name during External
Validation configuration.
A sample module (TdpExtValidateFns.js) containing a sample function (isTestField) is
included in the standard IBCU distribution.
Two sets of functions are available:
• Standard IBCU passes generated HTML;
• If you need to set up the QBE, Index, or Title display to be different from standard
IBCU, another set of functions defined as *AsObject is supplied.
The implementation of External Validation differs between these two sets.
Standard IBCU
In standard IBCU, only the two steps described in Creating an external validation routine
(above) are required.
26
v20.1 rev 1
Custom code using “*AsObject” methods
If you create a custom QBE, indexing, or title form using the functions getQBEAsObject(),
getIndexAsObject(), or getTitleAsObject(), validation of submitted forms should
include the standard validation functions.
The recommended way to do this is for the new form checking function, which must be
executed when the form is submitted, to first call the function checkAllFields(), defined
in the file ttuwsformChecking.js (this function performs standard validation). The external
validation functions should then be called.
For compatibility, all external functions should also be defined using IDM System
Administration.
For example, if an external validation function extValidateFunction() is to be applied to
a field with ID sampleField, then the new form checking function, custFormValidate(),
should invoke the external function as follows:
function custFormValidate(formname, allowallblank)
{
if (checkAllFields(formname, allowallblank) == false)
{
return false;
}
return extValidateFunction("sampleField");
}
Common for standard IBCU and custom code using
“*AsObject”
If an external validation module/function is defined for an application, then a custom
validation function must be provided (even if this is an “empty” function)—at least to
avoid errors being reported to the user.
As it is technically impossible to catch an exception generated in such a case, a message
will be displayed similar to the following:
NOTE: Definition of external validation function(s) is shared between standard IDM Client
and IBCU. If a validation module/function is defined for standard IDM Client, such a
module/function must also be provided for IBCU (and vice versa).
Standard field validation ensures that a value is of the correct data type. Standard
validation functions for IBCU are:
checkDate()
checkNumber()
checkSmall_Int().
Custom validation (if provided) is in addition to these standard tests.

Public Java APIs
Logon
public class Logon
The logon object is used to logon to IDM Server.
The following steps should be performed in JSP pages to initialize and logon to IDM
Server.
1.
Retrieve the application server list by using JavaBean PropertiesHelper.
Example:
<SELECT name='orb'>
<%
String options =
com.towertechnology.jsp.tower.PropertiesHelper.getOrbOptionsAsHTMLString();
out.write(options);
%>
</SELECT>
The application server information is defined by the values of property names
tao.NameService.addr and tao.NameService.port in the IBCU properties file on the
web server; e.g., the file ttuws.props (in the directory $TDP_WS_HOME/tower/WEB-INF).
The returned string of method getOrbOptionsAsHTMLString() is constructed using
these property values. The string is a formatted HTML string which represents a dropdown list. The value of each option is in the format of (host name, port number) where
host name is the property value of property name tao.NameService.addr.
Example:
If the following name and value pairs are in the IBCU properties file:
tao.NameService.addr=172.16.1.3
tao.NameService.port=14777
tao.NameService.addr=172.16.1.234
tao.NameService.port=14777
then the returned string will be:
"<OPTION value='172.16.1.3,14777'>172.16.1.3 on port: 14777</OPTION>\n
<OPTION value='172.16.1.234,14777'>172.16.1.234 on port: 14777</OPTION>"
2.
Request the user to select an application server from the application server list, then
submit the user name and password.
The following illustration shows the JSP page provided by IBCU for obtaining the
user’s login information:
3.
Execute the method init(String, String, String).
Example:
v20.1 rev 1
35
3
Chapter
String selected = request.getParameter("orb");
String host = selected.substring(0, selected.indexOf(','));
String port = selected.substring(selected.indexOf(',') + 1);
try
{
logon.init(host, port, session.getId());
}
catch(TdpJbException tje)
{
// Error handling
}
4.
Logon to IDM Server by calling method login(String, String, String, String,
String).
If logon is successful, get the timeout value. This value is set in the system
configuration file on IDM Server. In IDM System Administration, set Session Expired
Time to the required value. Set session attributes by using the values of user name,
user password, and valid session respectively, as illustrated below. Please note that the
maximum session inactive interval should be the same as the session timeout set for
IDM Server.
Example:
String user = request.getParameter("username");
String passwd = request.getParameter("passwd");
String remoteIP = request.getRemoteAddr();
try
{
logon.login(user, passwd, session.getId(), remoteIP, null);
int secs = logon.getExpireTimeSeconds(session.getId());
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(secs);
session.setAttribute("expiry", new Integer(secs));
session.setAttribute("userid", user);
session.setAttribute("passwd", passwd);
session.setAttribute("isvalid", new Boolean("true"));
url = "ttuwsmain.jsp";
} catch (TdpJbException e)
{
url = "ttuwslogin.jsp?err=" + e.getMessage();

annotations will be stored regardless; if there is a conflict, it will be ignored, no
warning will be issued, and no exception will be raised. By default (when IBCU is
installed “off the shelf”), forceWrite is set to false.
Throws:
TdpJbException - Raised if there is an error, or (provided that the forceWrite flag is
false) if there is any annotation conflict with another user. In case of such a
conflict, any annotation(s) where there is no conflict will be saved, but the
annotation(s) in conflict will not be saved. The conflict count is returned as part
of the exception’s error description.
IBCU annotation information interchange format
When annotation information is passed between the Annotation JavaBean, the JSP pages,
and the IBCU viewer applet, it is in the following format.
<Prefix>=<Version_Info> <OverallPermission> [<Page Number> <Number of subpages that contain
annotations> <UserCanCreatePermission> <FileVersion> <Subpage Annotation info>]
where:
<Prefix> = ANNOTINFO
<Version Info> = VERSION:1
<SubpageAnnotationInfo> = <Subpage Number> <Number of annotations> <AnnotationInfo>
<AnnotationInfo> = <Status> <Permissions> <Creator User Info Length> <Creator User Info> <Creator
User Group Info Length> <Creator Group Info> <Creator Timestamp> <Last Modified User Info Length>
<Last Modified User Info> <Last Modified Group Info Length> <Last Modified Group Info> <Last Modified
Timestamp> <Colour> <Annotation Type> <Specific Annotation Info>
<Colour> = <Red Value> <Green Value> <Blue Value>
When annotation information is passed for saving, <OverAllPermission>,
<UserCanCreatePermission>, <Status>, and <Permissions> are not used, but need to be set to
dummy values of the appropriate data type.

AppList
public class AppList
The AppList class is used to provide a list of IDM applications for the user to choose from,
and subsequently provides the corresponding QBE (query by example) form. It is also used
to upload a document and insert the corresponding indexing into IDM Server.
To get the list of Applications and the subsequent QBE form:
1.
The JSP page provides:
• the unique session ID of the user’s session. This is used to set the bean’s user
property.
• the Application name. This is used to set the bean’s app property.
Please note that the Application name must be in the same format as the values of
the choices in the Application drop-down list, i.e. “Application short name,
Application diskset”. A diskset is a named storage partition on IDM Server for the
storage of related documents. Each diskset can have a number of applications
assigned to it.
2.
The JSP page calls the getAppListAsString() method to get the Application list.
This method returns a formatted HTML string which represents a drop-down list. The
drop-down list shows all the available Applications for this user to choose from. The
value of each option in the list is in the form of “short name of the Application, diskset
of the Application”. The display value is the Application’s long name.
Example
The returned string of method getAppListAsString() might be as follows, if there are
two Applications available for the specified user:
<OPTION selected value="app[1].shortname,app[1].diskset">app[1].longname
<OPTION value="app[2].shortname,app[2].diskset">app[2].longname
The JSP page for Applications and QBE could have the following code section.
<jsp:useBean id='appList' class='com.towertechnology.jsp.tower.AppList'/>
<jsp:setProperty name='appList' property='user'
value='<%=session.getId()%>'/>
<jsp:setProperty name='appList' property='app' value='<%=appname%>'/>
<SELECT>
<%
String applist = null;
try
{
applist = appList.getAppListAsString();
}
{
// Error handling
}
if (applist != null)
out.println(applist);
%>
</SELECT>

The JSP page calls the getQBE() method to get the QBE form.
v20.1 rev 1
Public Java APIs
This method returns a formatted HTML string which represents rows and cells in a
table. It is assumed that the “FORM” tag has been previously defined by the calling JSP
page.
Each row in the table represents one query field, and consists of three cells. The first
cell is the label using the data in the query field. The second cell is the operator list
which lists all operators that can be applied to this field. Please note that if the data
type of the query field is SQL_VARCHAR, the operator list also includes like, is null,
and is not null. The third cell is either three drop-down lists (for SQL_DATE and
SQL_TIMESTAMP fields) or an input box (for other fields).
The string returned by method getQBE() is in the following format if the data type of
the first field is SQL_NUMERIC, the data type of field i is SQL_VARCHAR, and the data type
of field j is SQL_DATE or SQL_TIMESTAMP:

To upload a document into IDM Server:
1.
• the unique session ID of the user’s session. This is used to set the AppList user
property.
• the Application name. This is used to set the AppList app property. The document
will be uploaded to the specified Application.
• uploading the file to the web server by submitting a form with encoding
multipart/form-data.
Example
<FORM name="upload" action="ttuwsdoupload.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
<INPUT type="file" name="fileupload">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Upload File">
</FORM>
Please note that security checking will be applied to uploading a document. The user’s
permission can be checked by calling method getPermission("ttuws_p_import"). If
there is no permission checking at the JSP level and the user does not have permission
to upload, the execution of method createUploadFile(ServletInputStream, String)
will fail and exception TdpJbException will be thrown.
2.
The JSP page:
• calls Doc JavaBean’s createUploadFile(ServletInputStream, String) method.
This method writes the uploaded file to a temporary file on the web server. It
returns a Doc.UploadElem object.
The first parameter is the request as a binary data stream. The second parameter is
the boundary string of the MIME type multipart/form-data.
Example
Assume that we use the previous sample code to upload a file. The following code can
be in the file ttuwsdoupload.jsp to process the uploaded file.
String boundary = "boundary=";
int boundaryLen = boundary.length();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
int idx = contentType.indexOf(boundary);
String boundaryStr = contentType.substring(index + boundaryLen);
Doc.UploadElem elm =
(Doc.UploadElem)doc.createUploadFile(request.getInputStream(),
boundaryStr);
• obtains the diskset value from the Application name.
Example
The diskset value can be obtained from the following statements:
<%
int diskset = 0;
int idx = appname.indexOf(",");
diskset = Integer.parseInt(appname.substring(idx + 1));
%>
where appname is the Application name.
• calls Doc JavaBean’s uploadDoc(String, int) method.
This method uploads a file on the web server to IDM Server and returns an integer
array where [0] = ifnid and [1] = npages.
52
v20.1 rev 1
Public Java APIs
The first input parameter is the name of the temporary file created for the
uploading file on the web server. It is obtained by calling method
getUploadFileName() of object Doc.UploadElem which is returned by the previously
called method createUploadFile(ServletInputStream, String). The second input
parameter is the diskset value of the Application.
• provides the Indexing form for the user to enter indexing data for the uploaded file.
• calls insertIndex(String) method to insert the indexing data for the uploaded file
into the Application table (provided the upload is successful).
This method requires one String parameter, which must be in the following form:
(ifnid, ifnds, npages, field[1].name, field[2].name, ..., field[n].name)
values (ifnidValue, ifndsValue, npagesValue, field[1].value,
field[2].value, ..., field[n].value)
There are three mandatory fields: ifnid, ifnds, and npages. The ifnds field
contains the diskset value of the Application. The other two mandatory values are
the return value of the method uploadDoc(String, int) as mentioned above.
The other fields correspond to the input controls on the Indexing form. The field
name can be extracted from the NAME attribute of the input control on the form.
The NAME attribute is usually in the form of field_fieldName:fieldDataType.
However, for field types SQL_DATE and SQL_TIMESTAMP, there are three drop-down
lists for each field; their NAME attributes are in the forms
field_fieldName_d:fieldDataType for day,
field_fieldName_m:fieldDataType for month, and
field_fieldName_y:fieldDataType for year.

Doc
public class Doc
This class is used to retrieve documents from IDM Server, and to upload documents to
IDM Server.
To retrieve a document for display on a browser:
1.
• the unique session ID of the user’s session. This is used to set the user property.
• the Application name. This is used to set the appName property.
• the document IFN. This is used to set the ifn property.
• the page number of the document to retrieve. This is used to set the pageNumber
property.
• (optionally) the subpage number to retrieve. This is used to set the subpageNumber
property.
The subpage number is used on some multi-media document types, such as doc
and pdf. The default value is 1.
• (optionally) extra rendition input parameters using the method
setRenderProperty(String, Object).
2.
The JSP page calls the getDoc() method to retrieve a document for display on the
browser.
This method will retrieve a document from IDM Server and store it on the web
server. The path of the document relative to virtual directory jsp/docs is returned.
Please make sure that the returned path is appended to the string docs/ when it is
used as the value of the src attribute of an HTML img element.
Example:
Suppose the returned value of the getDoc() method is String relativeDocPath and
the file is a jpg file. Then the retrieved document can be displayed using the following
simplified code section in a JSP page:
<%
String docsrc = null;
if (relativeDocPath != null)
{
docsrc = "docs/" + relativeDocPath;
document.writeln('<body>');
document.writeln('<img src='<%=docsrc%>'>');
document.writeln('</body>');
}
%>
3.
The JSP page sets:
• (optionally) the total number of subpages retrieved using the getTotalSubpages()
method.
• (optionally) the retrieved subpage number using the getSubpageNumber() method. It
can differ from the subpage number requested.

createUploadFile(ServletInputStream, String)
public java.lang.Object createUploadFile(
javax.servlet.ServletInputStream in,
java.lang.String boundary)
Writes the upload document to a temporary file on the web server.
This method will parse the
javax.servlet.ServletInputStream in
parameter using
java.lang.String boundary
to get the file name and file contents. The JSP page provides
javax.servlet.ServletInputStream
by uploading a file in a multipart/form-data encoded HTML form.
Currently, when a file is uploaded to the web server in HTML format with encoding
multipart/form-data, the HTML request data stream is broken into blocks of data
separated by boundary strings:
Boundary 1:
blank
Boundary 2:
filename=xxx; filetype=xxx;...
Boundary 3:
mime types
Boundary 4:
blank
Boundary 5:
file contents
Example:
String boundary = "boundary=";
int boundaryLen = boundary.length();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
int idx = contentType.indexOf(boundary);
String boundaryStr = contentType.substring(index + boundaryLen);
Doc.UploadElem elm =
(Doc.UploadElem)doc.createUploadFile(request.getInputStream(), boundaryStr);
Parameters:
in - The JSP input stream.
boundary - The string representing the boundary between data blocks.

DocOperations
public class DocOperations
This class is used to implement the document operations.
The methods in this class can be made available to all users by enabling the DocOperations
toolbar, which will appear in the Query frame. The toolbar contains eight icons:
From left to right, the icons are List all disksets, Move document to pool, Delete document,
Get pool of document, Import document, Copy document, Start process on server, Disk
information.
To enable the toolbar, set jsp.document.operations=true in the file ttuws.props.
Some document operations refer to “pools”. A pool is a logical collection of documents in
a similar state; for example, there is a print pool, which holds temporary documents (such
as banner pages) that can be deleted after printing. Physically, a pool is a flag in the header
of an IFN (document). To move a document between pools, a flag in the header is changed
(the file is not actually moved)..

HardCopy
public class HardCopy
This class allows users to send email, print, or fax jobs to IDM Server. Security checking
will be applied to any HardCopy job. JSP pages can check the user’s permissions by calling
the method getPermission(String) with input parameter ttuws_p_print for server print
and ttuws_p_fax for server email and fax respectively.
Example:
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
var printAllowed = titlelist.getPermission("ttuws_p_print");
var faxAllowed = titlelist.getPermission("ttuws_p_fax");
</script>
where titlelist is a TitleList JavaBean defined previously.
Another layer of security checking will be done in the CORBA objects level using the user’s
credentials.
For a print job, the method getPrintDeviceAsString() should be called to get all available
print device information from IDM Server. Users can select from the list of available
devices. The method setPrintDevice(String) must be called to select the proper server
print device before sending a print job.

TitleList
com.towertechnology.jsp.tower.AppList
|
+--com.towertechnology.jsp.tower.TitleList
public class TitleList
extends AppList
This class is used to build the Result List form, update a Title, and delete Titles.
The user must have selected an Application and submitted the subsequent QBE form
before getting the Title List. The QBE form should be validated before it is submitted to the
web server. SQL_NUMERIC, SQL_DATE, and SQL_TIMESTAMP fields should be validated.
The current implementation to retrieve the Result List is as follows:
1.
• the unique session ID of the user’s session. This is used to set the user property.
• the Application name. This is used to set the app property.
The Application name is the value of the option that the user chose from the
Application list. See class AppList for more details.
• the where clause. This is used to set the where property.
The where clause is constructed from the user-submitted QBE form. It must follow a
certain format.
Assume that the total number of fields on the QBE form is n, and the data types of
the first and the last fields are not SQL_VARCHAR. The data type of field i is
SQL_VARCHAR and its selected operator is is null. The data type of field j is also
SQL_VARCHAR and its selected operator is is not null. The format of the String will be
as follows:
field[1].name field[1].operand 'field[1].value' AND ... AND field[i].name is
null AND ... AND field[j].name is not null AND ... AND field[n].name
field[n].operand 'field[n].value'
• a boolean value to set the maximum property.
This is an optional value. The default value of property maximum is false. This
property specifies whether the document display frame will be maximized when
the user selects a document from the Title List. For the IBCU JSP pages, the layout
is hard-coded and this is only a configurable parameter.
2.
The JSP calls one of the following methods to get the Title List form.

If the maximum property is set to true, then set targetDocFrameName and
targetDocSrcFileName equal to maxDocFrameName and maxDocSrcFile respectively;
otherwise, set them to docFrameName and docSrcFile respectively.
If the first function is called with parameter changeImageIcon being false, then for
each HTML element A in the above string, the attributes onclick, onmouseover, and
onmouseout will not be set.
Please note that the background color for each row depends on the row number.
The bgcolor attribute of the TR element for row i will be #b4ccfc if the row number

public class StringSearch
extends com.towertechnology.jsp.generic.ORBClient
implements com.towertechnology.jsp.util.Traceable
The StringSearch class is responsible for searching a string in a specified list of
documents.
The JSP client provides:
• unique session ID of the user (use this ID to set the user attribute).
• application name (set the appName attribute)
• search details:
• the string to search (it should not be blank)
• the Whole Word option (default is false)
• the Case Ignore option (default is false)
• the At End Line option (default is false)
• the At Start Line option (default is false)
• the Has Wild Cards option (default is false)
• maximum hits per page (default is 1)
• maximum hits per doc (default is 0, which means no limit)
• maximum hits per search (default is 0)
• items to search
To start a search, the JSP client calls the find() method, and then makes consecutive calls
to the getLatestResult() method to retrieve the list of hits/errors per search item. It can
also call the stop() method to stop the string search.

Overview
This chapter describes the CORBA objects residing with IDM Server in the storage tier of
IBCU. These objects are accessed by the IBCU JSP pages via the corresponding JavaBeans
in the middle tier of IBCU. The following objects are described in this chapter:
Object name for TAO
ttuwsupload_tao
ttuwsdoc_tao
ttuwsdocmgt_tao
ttuwsexception_tao

ttuwsqbe_tao
ttuwssys_tao
ttuwstitlelist_tao
ttuwsapplist_tao
ttuwsannot_tao
Multiple instances can be run of all objects, except ttuwslogon_tao; this object must have
only a single instance running on each IDM Server.
ttuwsupload_tao
The ttuwsupload_tao object is responsible for uploading files to IDM Server. Co-operating
with the ttuwsqbe_tao object, as described later, a document file can be uploaded and
saved to IDM Server with a corresponding index entry. The index information facilitates
future access to the document.
ttuwsdoc_tao
The ttuwsdoc_tao object is responsible for retrieving the document from IDM Server.
ttuwsdocmgt_tao
This object is responsible for performing document management actions on the IDM
Repository.

ttuwshardcopy_tao
The ttuwshardcopy_tao object supports printing, faxing and emailing on IDM Server.
ttuwslogger_tao
The ttuwslogger_tao object allows logging of custom information to a custom file.
ttuwslogon_tao
The ttuwslogon_tao object is responsible for the logon/logoff process when a user is
interacting with IBCU.
The ttuwslogon_tao object manages the user’s validation and licensing, and keeps track of
the validation of any subsequent access to IBCU by the user.
When a user successfully logs on to IDM Server, the ttuwslogon_tao object makes an
entry to a table which contains at least fields such as Session ID, User ID, Password, and
License ID. After this information has been provided, subsequent access can proceed with
IDM Server.
When a connection has been inactive for a configured time, the ttuwslogon_tao object
removes the corresponding entry from the table based on the user’s Session ID. This
means the user will be logged off after the configured timeout. Another logon must be
performed before IDM Server can be accessed again.
ttuwsqbe_tao
This object is responsible for retrieving the Query-By-Example (qbe0) template from IDM
Server. The entries in the template are ordered from top to bottom, left to right. The
ttuwsqbe_tao object is also used for creating document indices and entering these into
the database.
ttuwssys_tao
The ttuwssys_tao object is used to retrieve information from configuration files.
ttuwstitlelist_tao
The ttuwstitlelist_tao object is responsible for performing searches for rows and columns
of the database according to the specified WHERE clause of a SQL statement. Note that the
information for making this WHERE clause is gathered from the QBE form.
The ttuwstitlelist_tao object should exercise security control on the list returned. That is,
the returned information is filtered according to the standard IDM document security
control model, which depends on the privileges of the logged-in user.
ttuwsapplist_tao
The ttuwsapplist_tao object is responsible for the retrieval of the IDM application tables.
The object should be able to produce a list of the IDM application tables with their long
names (Descriptions) and short names (IDM application table names), based on the
privileges of the given user ID.
ttuwsannot_tao
The ttuwsannot_tao object is responsible for the retrieval and storage of annotations,
including distributed annotations.

Error handling

Overview of error processing in IBCU
This chapter describes the functions IBCU provides for retrieving and processing errors.
In general, custom code for error handling should be introduced at the JSP level. JSP error
processing is described in detail later in this chapter.
All errors reported by IBCU are represented as a number, in the nine-digit form
PPSCCXXXX
where
PP indicates the Product scope
S indicates the subsystem
CC indicates the subcomponent
XXXXrepresents the actual error code.
(Errors generated in 3rd party software might depart form this format, as described later
in this document.)
This format is relevant to the interpretation of error messages in the file ttuws_errlog,
although each message also includes an error description, as detailed as possible, to help
identify the problem.
Further identifying information is also added to the message. This includes date/time,
process ID (useful when multiple instances of the same object are executed), process
name, and the source file name (and the line number) which logged the error.
Example of an error logged in ttuws_errlog:
ERROR: Fri Feb 1 16:00:15 2002 | PID= 26357 | PROC_NAME='ttuwslogon' |
FILE='../ttuwslogontable.C' | LINE= 682 | ERR_CODE=880005002 |
DESC='LogonTable::Delete|Session not found.|pszSessionID=iu1dl04501'
Note that custom error-handling code in a JSP does not require detailed knowledge of the
message format or internal handling, as IBCU JavaBean methods allow direct retrieval of
both the error number and the description.
NOTE: The character “|” cannot be used in an error description, because this character is
used as an internal separator. The error number and error description are passed together,
in the format “%d|%s”, with “|” being the delimiter between error number and error
description.
Also, if any processing of the description is to be performed using a scripting language,
the error description should not contain any characters that can produce a script error.
v20.1 rev 1

Error number format
The highest 2 bytes, PP, are always set to 88, which indicates that the error is within the
IBCU scope.
The next 3 bytes, SCC, are used to indicate the subsystem which encountered an error. In
particular, the value of S indicates the layer:
0: the error happened in the CORBA layer.
1: the error occurred in the JavaBeans layer
2: JSP pages reported the problem
3: the error originated in the IBCU viewer applet
4: the error is reported by the COM layer.
The next 2 bytes, CC, indicate the sub component:
Error in CORBA layer (S = 0); values of CC:
00: ttuwsLogon object
01: ttuwsAppList object
02: ttuwsQbe object
03: ttuwsTitleList object
04: ttuwsDoc object
05: ttuwsSys object
06: RESERVED for future use
07: ttuwsUpload object
08: ttuwsHardCopy object
10: RESERVED for future use
11: ttuwsAnnot object
12: ttuwssearch object
13: ttuwsLogger object
The last 4 bytes (XXXX) represent the actual error number.
If this part of the error number is in the range [0000..4999], then this is a “common”
error (common to all CORBA objects if S is 0, or common to all COM objects if S is 4).
An example of a common error is “Out of memory”.
An error number (XXXX) in the range of [5000..9999] represents an error specific to a
CORBA object.
Examples of returned errors:
880000000
Error allocating memory in the ttuwsLogon object
880030000
Error allocating memory in the ttuwsTitleList CORBA object
880005000
“No more available licenses” reported by ttuwsLogon object
External software errors, including OS errors, are returned “as is”.
When an error occurs in a CORBA object, an appropriate exception is raised:
• Authentication
• Generic. A generic exception is raised when a call to a system library failed, caused by
an error such as too long a string being passed as a parameter. A similar exception can
be thrown from COM objects (part of the Windows rendering subsystem).
• System
172
v20.1 rev 1
Error handling
These exceptions are caught by a JavaBean, which then throws a new (equivalent)
exception, which can be caught and processed by JSP pages.
Whenever an error is returned by an IDM API called from IBCU CORBA object (that is, the
calling function returns -1), an exception will be thrown with the appropriate IDM error
code and error description.
All generated errors are passed to a higher layer in the format %d|%s. IBCU provides
convenient methods to extract the actual error number and error description, as described
in the sections JSP level on page 174 and JavaBean layer on page 175.
The following example illustrates how an error is processed and passed from the CORBA
servant to JSP. The situation illustrated is where a request to connect to IDM Server fails,
and an appropriate exception is raised:
// connect to tower imagestore
rc = Misc_Imagestore_Connect(UNIXWEBSERVER);
if (rc != 0)
{
//error handling, cannot connect to Tower Server
nErrNum = Get_Ctlerrno();
TTUWS_ERRLOG(nErrNum, "Connect to Tower Imagestore from exportDoc failed");
throw TTUWSEXCEPTION::TTLLSystemException(nErrNum, "Connect to Tower
Imagestore from exportDoc failed");
where TTUWS_ERRLOG is a macro that logs the error to the file ttuws_errlog, located in
the directory $CTL_RUNTIME/is/log.
Please note that these errors are passed “as is”; the IDM error is retrieved into nErrNum,
and a system exception is thrown (with this number) in the final line.
The next example illustrates handling a system error, defined in IBCU:
rc = stat(fileName, &st);
if (rc < 0)
{
unlink(fileName);
sprintf(errMsg, "stat(%s) failed", fileName);
TTUWS_ERRLOG(COMMON_ERR_DOC(COMMON_ERR_FILE_OPERATION), errMsg);
throw
TTUWSEXCEPTION::GenericException(COMMON_ERR_DOC(COMMON_ERR_FILE_OPERATION),
errMsg);
}
In this example, a generic exception is thrown; the error number is 880040015.
The next example illustrates how 3rd party (including OS) errors are handled:
if ((dirPtr = opendir(dirName)) == 0)
{
sprintf(errMsg, "Cannot open directory %s", dirName);
TTUWS_ERRLOG(errno, errMsg);
throw TTUWSEXCEPTION::GenericException(errNo, errMsg);
}
A generic exception is an exception which is not specific to any particular 3rd party
product. This definition includes OS errors.
v20.1 rev 1
173

Chapter
The next example illustrates how a specific 3rd party product can raise an exception then.
In the case of an internal problem in HTML Export, the following exception might be
raised:
throw TTUWSHTMLEXPORT::HtmlExport::HtmlExportException(errNo, errMsg);"
JSP level
When error processing is required in custom JSP pages these pages must include the
following line:
<%@ page language="java" import='com.towertechnology.jsp.generic.*'
session='true' errorPage='/jsp/ttuwserror.jsp' %>
Some pages included in the standard IBCU release illustrate how this can be done. The JSP
illustrated below is ttuwsdocbot.jsp.
Suppose that there is no document identified by IFN=34/28-417. Then a browser
attempting to retrieve the URL
http://172.16.1.234:8080/tower/jsp/TdpJspDoc.jsp?ifn=34/28-417
will fail, resulting in an error message from IBCU. The message will indicate that the
requested image does not exist, and will also display the error as returned by IDM Server
(1307).
A similar situation arises if we specify an incorrect disk set. For example:
http://172.16.1.234:8080/tower/jsp/TdpJspDoc.jsp?ifn=34/278-417
The message will indicate that the disk set is invalid, and will also display the error as
returned by IDM Server (1401).
The following code is extracted from ttuwsdocbot.jsp. It represents typical error
processing.
try {
str = thedoc.getDoc(docname,pageNum,Integer.parseInt(totalPages));
// place the rest of processing here
}
{
// Error handling
errorCode = tje.getErrorCode();
errorMsg = tje.getMessage();
// replace all double quotes with single quotes
// for the future use with Javascript code
errorMsg = errorMsg.replace('\"','\'');
// the third-party software error code
origErrorCode = tje.getOrigErrorCode();
// followed by the rest of code which process errors
}
Points to note:
174
1.
The execution of the JavaBean method must be within a pair of try and catch
statements.
2.
To retrieve the error code, as passed by IDM Server (and reported by a CORBA object),
call method tje.getErrorCode();. Similarly, to retrieve the error description, call
method tje.getMessage();. If this message is to be used in Javascript, then single
quotes must be changed to double quotes, for example using the method
errorMsg.replace('\"','\'');.
3.
The reference to an “original” error code (“Orig”) in the name of the method
tje.getOrigErrorCode(); refers to 3rd-party errors, including OS errors.
v20.1 rev 1
Error handling
As described earlier in this chapter, the “original” error does not comply with the internal
IBCU standard format (PPSCCXXXX), and represents the exact error number as returned by
the 3rd party library or OS.
If the error to be processed is related to IDM Server business logic (for example, the image
is on an off-line disk, or the disk set is currently being exported), then from the custom
code point of view only the method tje.getErrorCode(); is relevant.
JavaBean layer
The JavaBean layer implements exceptions in the class TdpJbErrors.java. This class
extends the Java Exception class and contains a method getErrorCode() to support error
processing.
Exceptions are propagated from CORBA objects to JavaBeans, which then pass the
exception to JSP pages and subsequently to Applet Viewer if required. (This is done after
logging the error to the file ttuws.log; a new exception, equivalent to the exception
originally caught, is thrown to allow error processing at the JSP level).
All exceptions thrown from CORBA objects to JavaBeans contain two attributes:
• errorCode
• errorDescription
The exception is passed from the JavaBean to JSP. If it needs to be caught at JSP level, the
JSP page must import the class TdpJbException, as described under JSP level on page 174.
