RE: 2 instance of tomcat within 1 machine

John, Could you please post the contents of you server.xml? I'm trying to do exactly what you've done with only 2 tomcat instances and am having difficulty. Also, I'm confused at which tomcat subdirectories needed to be present in each CATALINA_BASE directory. The running.txt file mentions

Jasper - precompiling and loading jsp's

I'm having difficulty getting Tomcat 4.0.2 (Win2000) to load jsp's on startup. Here are my questions: 1. Do I have to pre-compile a jsp before starting tomcat for the load-on-startup to work on a jsp file? 2. How do I get jspc / jasper tool to work? Where is the documentation? My goal is to

Tomcat 4 as an NT Service

I am trying to get Tomcat 4 to run as an service on win2000pro. I copied the wrapper.properties file from my Tomcat 3.2 installation and placed it in CATALINA_HOME\conf\ directory and used jk_nt_service to create the service. When I try to start the service, windows returns a message saying the

2 Tomcat4 questions

Question 1: How do you make Tomcat4.0 a NT Service? In previous releases I used jk_nt_service and pointed that toward the wrapper.properties file. There is no wrapper.properties file in Tomcat4 Question 2: I installed tomcat and i can see the example jsp's fine running tomcat alone.

Apache/Tomcat sending default image

Is there anyway for Apache/Tomcat to send a default image to the user if the image they are requesting doesn't exist to prevent a broken image? I have a JSP/Servlet site that collects and dynamically displays images based on user response. Sometimes the image requested just isn't there. I could

Case Sensitivity

I want a directory in my url to not be case sensitive. For example: http://localhost/abc/ABCServlet http://localhost/ABC/ABCServlet I want both of the above to go to the /ABC/ABCServlet. I'm running Apache/Tomcat. I've tried the alias in httpd.conf but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Multiple servlets using same initParameters

I have multiple servlets in the same directory and they all get the same init-params from web.xml. Currently, I have 5 servlets and am required to repeat all the init-params 5 times, one for each servlet. So if one parameter changes, I have to change it five times in web.xml. I'd like to only

Trouble with logging

In my servlet I use the log() method which logged to servlet.log. I have recently moved my context out of the webapps directory and into my own directory not in tomcat's directory structure. Now, everything works ok except nothing gets logged to servlet.log. Anybody know how to fix this?
