Usually you build a .war file containing the application, drop it in the webapps directory, and access it at http://yourhost:8080/yourapp where yourapp is the name of the war file (yourapp.war).

With no offense to those involved, I feel compelled to point out that reading this from the top down is a perfect example of what's wrong with top-posting :-) Cheers! mhr ___ Methinks MHR makes a very good point. Reading through all this 'may' be interesting to those of us taken to destroying old hardware by fun means, it seems hardly on point to those looking for some real info on 'fdisk and dd'. Bottom posting hardly helps the situation. IMHO. EW ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] APIC error on Intel Atom CPU, CentOS 5.x
I am seeing ``APIC error on CPU3: 60(60)'' warnings from dmesg periodically on a CentOS 5.4 box, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5. The CPU is an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz. I am not a hardware type, and don't have a clue what this means. This is occurring while an rsync-3.0.4 process is receiving data sent by a machine running rsync-3.0.7 (I just updated the CentOS box to rsync-3.0.7 since noticing that it was a bit dated). This is the only significant load on this machine at this time. This machine has locked up requiring a hard reset twice while this rsync process has been running at night with no problems at other times. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just a hammer, no need to disassemble the case. I dunno, a buddy who was in army intel back in the early eighties told me, about 10 years ago, that they could flatten out the platters and read some data. Thermite not only melts the platters, but will hit the Curie point. mark and make nice flames and melting metal Over the years I've ended up with a pile of old hard drives. Some are unreliable; some won't even spin up and some are just REALLY old (e.g., 100s of MB size). I also inherited a couple of rifles (M-1 Garand and M-1 Carbine). I'm thinking write /dev/urandom to ones that will spin but then take the whole lot out in the country for some target practice.
