Re: JDBC Realms

[Tim O';Neil]

Its a group (or a set) of configuration data controlled
by your jdbc driver), its extended from an actual "Realm"
class, and it sets up a few tables in your data source to
hold data for a particular class of objects; for instance,
say you are doing some kind of session-based service- you
could set up a "UserRealm", your security for this service
could a "SecurityRealm", your beans could be kept track of
in a "BeanRealm", etc. Its just a way to group a particular
bunch of properties together.

RE: file download servlet

The server sends a header that describes the file type.

Not true in some cases. HTTP sends its response info on the same port,
protos like ftp open another port. (Which is the reason for http being
a stateless protocol, you need to open a second port to do things like
random stream access.) But that his application is wanting to open another
port has nothing to do with tomcat, or at least I doubt it. Is your app
a CORBA or JNI app by chance Joe?

The limit of an int is an int, right?
The setContentLength() method takes an int. What
do you want? Rather than try to stuff all your
data in one go you should treat it like the stream
that it is and feed your data into a buffer a blob
at a time, send that data down the pipe when you get
one full blob, and replenish the buffer with a new
blob of data from your source, like most anyone else
would do. Then you don't worry about how much data
you have to send. It could be gigs * gigs. Plus
you have the ability to resend any blobs (records,
frames) that get garbled on the way over, if any.

Much more efficient than trying to stuff your entire
wad down the wire.

You may not be doing anything wrong, I think that's how cookies
are supposed to work. Reading ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2109.txt
doesn't (to me) explicately say "Servers within the same domain may
not share cookies", but what it does say is a particular server may set
a cookie that is only accessible by itself, which implies to me that
this is not allowed. The RFC also indicates past and present behavior,
and Netscape by name. It's entirely possible that while you were able
to do this before, it was taken out in later clients and servers to
comply with the RFC's final form. But like I said, I have a hard time
interpreting RFC's for particular questions. Maybe some one else has
a better handle on all this?

No, it MUST be "127.0.0.1", what you have there is
a typo. Also, there's only one file it should be in,
"hosts". Anything else is a mistake or a Microsoft
machination (LMHOSTS is not a traditional network config
file). If that's not working for you try addressing
your server as "http://127.0.0.1/"; + your tomcat examples
dir, that will work.

It'd probably be a lot easier to simply up the Oracle configuration.
It's a little of putting the cart before the horse by attempting to
control the number of requests. If the requests exceed the capacity
of your web server the worst that happens is the excess requests get
things like 404's (I think). But an Oracle server crashing means you
probably have aspect of it's configuration set too low. Trying to
solve the problem by some how limiting the requests doesn't sound
like the optimal solution to me. You may be running the server with
default settings. Look at the config file and up whatever it is that
deals with connections to the data base and threads. I used to know
but its been a long time.

Well, yes, it can attack an Apache server all it wants,

RE: Getting the user environment variable::Need help

[Tim O';Neil]

That said, do this:

Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("MYVAR", "MYVALUE");
System.setProperties(props);

Then later on in your program you can get the value
to your hearts content. Or even in another class or
package.

Or use a wrapper to load shell variables. But if all
you want to do load your own defined variables use the
above code.

As the message says, you're out of environment space,
process space. Increase it by either clicking the

it through the options tab or pass a command line
switch that increases the environment... (can't tell

Can't do that. You can't have both processes use the same

I don't consider it that painful. It's hardly a pain at all.
It involves adding an include to apache's httpd.conf. You still
have to do all the configuration stuff in tomcat anyway.
But I've heard from more than one that Tomcat is faster. So
there's that. But if security is an issue for you I have a hard

Well, there may not be a port, ever, and it has nothing

No doubt. But don't you need to get advanced server
to go over 10 client connections? I thought the limit
was imposed by the os, not just iis.

Oh, and if you insist on using M$ as a server platform
get ready to pay a regular fee and the os locked to the

kind of license enforcement or something) and other great

You'll need to write a nt domain auth client (native code) and a jni

I think there's a third party product out there too somewhere that

I've *generally* had fewer problems using gcc to do things
than when using the hardware vendor's tools. Sparcworks 4
(for sun work stations obviously) had a notorious rep in a
shop I worked at a few years ago. Visualage too, for AIX

I'm not having a bad day. I'm always an ass. If your point

As for JDK not being free, not too sure what your talking about.
There's a ton of java based products out there, many of them
require a jvm for use that they don't distribute. I guess
they're all in some kind of license violation? And if that's

Not really. You either use tools and standards that other people
before have developed, and agree to their terms and give them
due credit where appropriate, or re-invent the wheel all over
again. That's not sad at all, that's fair trade. How would you like

He's right, I remember reading that too. I think it's in the javadocs/tools

To add more possibly useless comments to this it seems like a good
idea generally to up the limits in the descriptor table for most of
the params in a production system. I myself have encountered a number
of problems that have been solved by increasing the number of file
descriptors for example. A lot of unices ship with a default value
of 64 for this; way to low for a production system. I typically edit
(or create) startup scripts that use the root shell (sh) to kick off
processes by adding ulmit command the increase the handles and descriptors

execute the process status command using arguments
that tell it to return a list of all the processes
regardless of owner, and widen margins of the logical
output device, masking out any delimited lines that
don't have the contents of the variable $TOMCAT_HOME
as a substring.

I KNOW, Linux isn't a sys V kernel, but the ports,

My client allows filtering via one or all of the incoming mail
headers, I filter the tomcat mail list with the "Any Recipient"
header. I don't know that this header is an rfc 821 compliant one
(In fact I can't find it in the rfc) but it works for me. Surely
you can filter out tomcat mail list messages through one of the
other ones though.

May not be her fault. Even so, this doesn't happen to me. I only
subscribe to this list, and when I switch mail servers or go somewhere
I unsub. I did it last December in fact, I was switching isps. Did the

Ha ha ha ha... how can you say JRun is a "good production server" with a

taking all the flat file editing you need to do to configure it (like any
product of this type) and putting it all into a ridiculous gui that doesn't
make that configuring any easier they might shock me by having a real
product on their hands. And don't get me started on the rest of those.

Cantonese, the language spoken in Canton. I think its
the dialect they speak in Hong Kong, as opposed to the
mandarin that is the "offical" dialect supposedly.

You know how many dialects there are? Like ten or more I

All you really need is to make sure your local

can enter a url of 127.0.0.1 and get what
you expect to see then you can map it to
"localhost" in the table. If not, then your

No, regular users aren't supposed to have access to any

Before you mention it apache (and netscape and etc) can do it
because they run a native administrative process that runs

RE: Odd Tomcat 3.3m3 Problem

[Tim O';Neil]

Routers and fire walls may have settings in them that
decide that a connection has been idle too long and close
it. We had a problem with an installed product (ours)
that kept having problems connecting to other components.
(Distributed app). After months of finger wagging and
getting chewed out by the customer and getting the threats
of pull outs and all that their particular make of Cisco
router had this setting set to kill those idle connections
by default. When we set the setting to ignore how long a
connection was sitting idle, the problem went away.

You don't actually lauch (I guess you mean "launch") a

I know that a real (or non-test) cert works

the Apache site for using mod_ssl, and also
search the net for more info. I don't have

Shouldn't he be issuing a ./shutdown.sh in Unix and

"Tomcat") in Windows?

I don't think "tomcat stop" is going to accomplish anything.
