Hi all,
Following is a rough test report with the latest JServ on Win95.
I cannot spend more time on it, not even finding the right person to
send this to but I wish to share the info hoping someone will pick it
up and use it:
Installation attempt 15/06/99 reveals:
- In automatic operation, class JServ does not start successfully
- Consequently(?), no errors originating from class JServ were
visible in the error log file.
- In standalone mode operation, NullPointer Exception on
security.secretKey file although the setting in
conf\jserv.properties
is security.authentication=false as per default and the
configuration
line security.secretKey=... was commented out as per default.
- Consequent Java Source code changes ("bt-test")
in JServ.java in start()
if (authenticate) {
if (log.active) log.log(CH_INIT, "Enable connection
authentication");
to:
if (false) {//bt-test
if (log.active) log.log(CH_INIT, "Enable connection
authentication");
reveal that file jserv.properties
was not processed correctly and the search for the
security.secretKey file
was a consequence of a default setting that could not be overridden
by the missing config information. So why is there no error message
for
this situation?
Further up at the beginning of start() I modified code:
// Load configuration parameters
try {
confs = new Configurations(new ExtendedProperties(confFile));
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error while reading configuration
file");//bt-test
fail("Error while reading configuration file", e);
}
//bt-test start: Dump configutration
Hashtable testRep=confs.getRepository();
Enumeration repEnum=testRep.elements();
while(repEnum.hasMoreElements()){
System.out.println(repEnum.nextElement());
}
//bt-test end: Dump configutration
That revealed that the configuration file was found but no
configuration
data was available because the hashtable repEnum is empty.
Further down in the code I modified the test that looks for servlet
zones:
//if (zones == null) {//original
fail("No servlet zones defined in configuration
file");//original
}//original
if (zones != null && zones.hasMoreElements()) {//bt-test
}else{//bt-test
fail("No servlet zones defined in configuration
file");//bt-test
}//bt-test
The modified code prints the error.
Similar code would be needed earlier in the process to report
missing
configuration - for whatever reason - not known at this stage.
