Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all apps under tomcat 4

[John Regan]

Good afternoon,
I am trying to specify a generic 404 error page for all webapps in tomcat 4.
I added the following entry to tomcathome\conf\web.xml:

404
/csa/jsp/Error404.jsp
   
under the default welcome files list and it doesn't work(just the generic
tomcat page not found page comes up).  csa is a directory under webapps.  Is
there a way to make this work??

Thanks in advance for any help,
JBR

RE: Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all app s un der tomcat 4

[John Regan]

John,
Thanks for the reply.  I believe it's in the right order because error-page
comes right after the welcome file list in the DTD, plus it works in a
web.xml deployed under the webapps directory.  Any other suggestions?

Make sure you follow the DTD.  The containers in web.xml (like "error-page")
have to go in a very specific order.

"Split Thread" with 2 browsers

[John Regan]

Desired functionality:
User opens browser, clicks through several pages as a certain "user type"
then opens a second browser because they want to be a different "user type".
The user should be able to proceed in either browser without session
information being overwritten in the other browser's session.  

Has anyone implemented any similar functionality?

Note: using tomcat 4.x as http server and JSP container.

RE: "Split Thread" with 2 browsers

[John Regan]

thank you Conor for the quick response.

this works if the second browser is launched from the desktop but if the
second browser is launched using Ctrl+N from the first browser both browsers
share the same session.  is there any way around this?

You should be able to implement this functionality using URL rewriting where
the session identifier is stored on the query string rather than as a cookie
in the browser.

In this way once the user opens a new window and logs in again you can
create a new session in the second browser.

How long can the session ID get in 4.0?

[John Regan]

How come I can't remove from server.xml?

[John Regan]

i am using 4.0 and want to remove this service from server xml but when i
take it out tomcat will start up(opens command window deploys some files
then gets hung).
Does tomcat need this service, because i don't believe i need it?

thank you in advance for any help!!  happy holidays!

RE: How come I can't remove from server.xml?

[John Regan]

thank you for the quick response.
it wasn't hung, it worked fine when i removed the whole service.  i thought
it was hung because i didn't see the Apache Tomcat/4.0 print out in the
command prompt.  thanks again.

when I delete the whole service tag from the server.xml only the Tomcat

Manager App in 4.0

[John Regan]

I have been running an application in 4.0 for several months and want to use
the manager application.
I can't seem to get to the manager application.  When i try a simple command
like:
http://localhost:8100/manager/list
I get 404 page not found.  Does anybody have any suggestions?
Under the manager folder there is only a web.xml file, is that right?

Thanks in advance for any help!

RE: Manager App in 4.0

[John Regan]

thank you for the quick response.
yes, i did change the default port to 8100.

I made the change and restarted but i still get same thing: 404 Page Not
Found

Any other suggestions?
My file is called tomcat-users.xml should it be conf.tomcat-users.xml?

thanks again.

go to $CATALINE_HOME/conf.tomcat-users.xml file where CATALINA_HOME is the
directory where you have installed Tomcat.

Add one line


or you can insert the role manager in one of the existing role.

shutdown and start Tomcat and then
http://localhost:8100/manager/list

I see you are using port 8100. Default is 8080 unless you have changed it.

Good luck

I paste the answer i did to somebody else.
It is for the Tomcat_Apache Engine, but it works the same for the
Tomcat_Standalone part.



It had been such a mess all around it !


I give yu my code:



  


    


   port="8025" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
   enableLookups="true" appBase="webapps"
   acceptCount="10" debug="0"/>


    
    
    name="Apache" appBase="webapps" defaulthost="MyServer.com" >


    


   
   directory="Logs" prefix="local_access_log." suffix=".txt"
   pattern="common" />


    
    
    prefix="apache_log." suffix=".txt"
    timestamp="true"/>


    
    


    
unpackWARs="true" >


 
 


    


    


  



The best way is via the manager facilities.
To do so yu DO have to declare the Host, like in the code below, so that it


is available thru the warp connector via:


WebAppDeploy manager conn /manager/


Hope this help.

It works right out of the box.
Install Tomcat and just modify tomcat-users.xml and then start Tomcat.
Try http://localhost:8080/manager/list and it will work.
you can also replace localhost with the name of your computer in the
network.

You can then change the port and other stuff later.

What is your platform and version of Tomcat?

Tomcat Session ID handling??

[John Regan]

*   I am concerned about how Tomcat identifies whether or not a page hit
is part of an old or new session.  If you come back the next day and type
yesterday's jsessionid= value onto your URL line, will Tomcat be tricked
into thinking its the same session?  If you bookmark a page so that the
jsessionid= value is saved as part of the bookmark, will Tomcat think it's
the same old session every time you exercise the bookmark?

Setting the cookie path to "/" will cause this cookie to be sent back to
*all* web applications on your server, not just yours.  It is safer to set
the cookie path to return just to your web application:

  userCookie.setPath(request.getContextPath());

Off topic:cookies nightmare!!!!!!!!

[John Regan]

I am John Regan.

Environment:
NT
IE 5.0
Tomcat 4.0
Struts 1.0

When a user requests our index page we write a pagehit sequence # to the
client's cookie through the following code:
//no cookie exits
   else {
Cookie pcookie = new Cookie("P",r.getPagehitcode());
pcookie.setMaxAge(60*60*24*365);//1 year
response.addCookie(pcookie);  
   } 
which works fine, I look in my cookies directory and find a file named
jbr@jsp[1].txt(where does it grab this name from?) which contains the
correct value for "P".
The user clicks on a link on the homepage, this where things start to go
very wrong.  In the action class I loop through cookie values in the
following manner:

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
Cookie cookie;
   Cookie schangecookie = null;
   if (cookies != null) {
for(int i=0; i

Re: question about WEB-INF/lib

[john regan]

(a newbie speaks...)

Are you looking for a workaround? When I saw this problem, I copied the jar
file to tomcat's lib directory and it worked. I thought maybe I had misread
something in the doc.

Like I said, I'm new here, but I agree that this is not what I expected to do.

Re: browsing web pages served by Tomcat 3.2.3 using aMACINTOSH ?

[john regan]

I saw something similar before I set up Tomcat to run under apache. Are you
accessing the page from a different computer? Perhaps on the host machine you
are entering the ":8080", but your forgetting this on the Mac. ...that's what
I did. :-/

Display JSP files in browser?

[john regan]

I would like to display a jsp file in a browser, similar to what Marty Hall
does at
http://archive.coreservlets.com/JSP-Code/Greetings.jsp

Using apache/tomcat. I tried moving the file to the apache html directory, but
I still get a 404 error from Tomcat. Obviously, apache will forward all jsp
files to tomcat. If the file is not found by Tomcat, I get a 404. If it is
registered, then the page executes the jsp code. Either way, the browser
doesn't view the jsp code.

I thought there was a thread on this last month, but I couldn't turn it up in
a search.

Thanks.
