Question

I’m currently working on a SalesForce.com tutorial entitled Force.com for Google App Engine for Java: Getting Started

I’ve installed the Google Eclipse Plugin, downloaded the libraries, and entered the “Hello World App” (as seen on the tutorial page):

package com.force;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.logging.*;

import com.sforce.ws.*;
import com.sforce.soap.partner.*;
import com.sforce.soap.partner.sobject.SObject;


@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(HelloWorldServlet.class.getName());

    private String username = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    private String password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    private PartnerConnection connection;

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {
        resp.setContentType("text/html");
        resp.getWriter().println("Hello, world. this is a test2");

        PrintWriter t = resp.getWriter();
        getConnection( t, req);
        if ( connection == null ) { return; }

        QueryResult result = null;

        try {

            result = connection.query(  "select id, name, phone from Account order by LastModifiedDate desc limit 10 ");

        } catch (ConnectionException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        for (SObject account : result.getRecords()) {
             t.println("<li>"+ (String)account.getField("Name") + "</li>");
        }
    }

    void getConnection(PrintWriter out, HttpServletRequest req)  { 

        try { 
            // build up a ConnectorConfig from a sid
            String sessionid = req.getParameter("sid");
            String serverurl = req.getParameter("srv");

            if ( connection == null ) { 

               out.println("<p>new connection needed</p>");
               // login to the Force.com Platform
               ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig();
               if ( sessionid != null && serverurl != null) {
                   config.setServiceEndpoint(serverurl);
                   config.setSessionId(sessionid);
                   config.setManualLogin(false);
                   out.println("using session from query string");
               }   else { 
                   config.setUsername(username);
                   config.setPassword(password);
               }
               connection = Connector.newConnection(config);
               out.println( connection.getConfig().getSessionId() );
               out.println( connection.getConfig().getServiceEndpoint() );
           } else { 
               out.println("<p> reuse existing connection"); 
               out.println( connection.getConfig().getSessionId() );
           }
           log.warning("Connection SID " +connection.getConfig().getSessionId());

        } catch ( ConnectionException ce) {
            log.warning("ConnectionException " +ce.getMessage());

            out.println( ce.getMessage() + " s " + ce.getClass() );

        }

    }
}

When I run the application as a “Web Application” I get the following in the console:

Initializing AppEngine server
Logging to JettyLogger(null) via com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.JettyLogger

When I try to visit http://localhost:8080/ , I see:

Did you mean: localhost-­8080.­com
Additional suggestions:
Try reloading: localhost:­8080

But when I visit http://localhost:8888/ , I get:

(Which, also isn’t the desired or expected outcome.)

What is this content-type.properties that I’m missing and how can I fix it? Or is that just a symptom of a greater problem?

Answer 1

Have you checked that your web.xml directs requests for / to the appropriate handler class? Just writing the class isn’t enough – you have to make sure that incoming requests are directed to it.
