SessionContext.log(...) Where does the path in the output come from?

[Kurt, Oliver]

Hi all,

when using the log method from SessionContext(), the written output looks
like the follwing:

Context log path="" : 


What is that "Context log path" thing? When I'm using log("...") the context
log path is always empty.

What is the meaning of the path and how can I set it?

I am also putting my jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory (note the case) and
they are not being seen.  Is this a bug?

jk_nt_service error in NT workstation

[John T. H. Wong]

Dear Tomcat support team,

I have problem in running jk_nt_service.exe. The output is some
random characters with an error message at the end:
L=!This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

n.b. my computer is running NT4.0 with SP5 on.

RE: CLASSPATH and JARs

[David Harris]

I believe the 'correct' place to put jars is in the WEB-INF/lib directory of
the context. I run tomcat 3.2beta6 on jdk1.3 and can say that it behaves
correctly on redhat 6.2 and win NT and win98. Note that WEB-INF must be
capital letters on unix/linux platforms, it doesn't matter on win32.

Putting jars and classes in the system classpath is asking for
maintainability issues - try to avoid at all costs...

For a webapp, I have a bunch of JARs. How do I ensure that

Putting them in either the web-inf/lib or web-inf/classes does

Re: Is there Tomcat on HP-UX?

Tomcat is written in java, so you should not have a problem running tomcat.

Your HP-UX should have a VM, and you just have to modify the scripts to
include the path to your JVM.

In my N-Class HP-UX server the java machine is located at /opt/java/bin

Apache is working quite good on every Un*x system I've know.

So go for it (it's working under HP-UX :).

Re: Problems in Installing

[Julio Serje (@canada.com)]

Another method to increase the environment space (that I think is better
because is not associated with a DOS window..) is to add the line:

CommandEnvSize=4096

in the [NonWindowsApp] section of your system.ini file (in \windows). It
requires a restart, after which you can try \tomcat\bin\startup. After the
restart you should be able to just double-click startup.bat of shutdown.bat.


There are some other methods to do this (you can search the archives of the
maililng list).

Q: apache isn't forwarding to tomcat

[Mohammed Bustany]

Please respond to my email address since I'm not (yet)
subscribed to the mailing list.

Hi all,

I can't get apache to forward jsp pages to tomcat.
I'm quite familiar (as a user) with tomcat so I've
tried troubleshooting it but to no avail.

I'm using:
OS: Linux RedHat 6.2
apache 1.3.12
tomcat 3.1

The procedure to attach tomcat to apache is simple.
1. install the right mod_jserv.so
2. Include the tomcat.conf file in the httpd.conf file.


http://localhost/ works great as apache
http://localhost:8080/ works great as tomcat

but

http://localhost/my.jsp  doesn't!!!  (my.jsp resides in webapps/ROOT of
tomcat).

I've exhausted all links at www.apache.org.

Please let me know what other things might have gone wrong.

Thank you

Re: Win98 & Tomcat 3.1 - Starts to launch but then exists???

[Julio Serje (@canada.com)]

I also have experienced the same problem in some machines, and have found
another esoteric solution: (given that you have setup Tomcat according to
the documentation, and solved the issue of the environment space., etc.).

For some reason the commmand

tomcat run

works fine, while

tomcat start

doesn't. Note that the only difference between the two calls is that "tomcat
start"  starts tomcat in a *new* window while "tomcat run" starts tomcat in
the same window.  When the problem happens (let's say in 3 of 6 computers
that we have set up for the development team, with paralel and identical
layouts...) we just edit startup.bat and change tomcat start to tomcat run.

Please let me know it it helps.

Re: socket exception errors on startup

[Julio Serje (@canada.com)]

It may be that a) you have another process that is using port 8080, or b)
you already have an instance of tomcat running that is using that port.

In case a), change in server.xml the port number Tomcat is listening to.

Re: JSPs anywhere

[Julio Serje (@canada.com)]

Hi, Joe,

You may have any directory structure for your HTML pages as long as you
comply with a minimum set of requirements:

- each application should be declared (as a "context") in the server.xml
file of Tomcat. The organization of that diectory is up to you, with the
exception of the directory WEB-INF, where you must locate the classes and/or
jar files that you want to have in the "private" classpath of your
application.

- You can define your root application using something like this in your
server.xml file:



 


That should allow you to run JSP "anywhere" in your previous apache
directory structure. I would suggest, anyway, you consider the logical
organization suggested in the documentation.

Hope it helps,

Julio Serje

You've got it -- a RequestInterceptor for Tomcat 3.x, or a Valve for Tomcat 4.0,
would let you watch requests as they go by and count/log them.

In Tomcat 4.0, you've got one additional option, courtesy of the new filter
support in servlet 2.3.  You can write a web-app level Filter class, and
configure it to process all requests for URL pattern "/*".  That way, you can do
counting or logging activities without having to modify your servlets or JSP
pages at all, and without having to write any server-specific code like a
RequestInterceptor or a Valve.

What an XML parser does with this is really a question for your parser provider -- 
it's not
really a Tomcat issue.  I would imagine that it is being resolved relative to the

While this is an appropriate way to get resources in a web application, note that 
doing so
gives the parser no clue where the input stream is coming from.

You might try getting a File reference to the input file, and passing that to your 
parse
method instead.  Alternatively, there is a mechanism in most parsers to register a 
separate
input source for a DTD (keyed by the public identifier).  Tomcat uses this approach, 
for
example, to register its local copies of the DTD for web.xml files, so that it doesn't 
need to
go across the network every time.

Have you checked your servlet logs to see if the UnavailableException errors

but (if I remember correctly) version 3.1 did not actually honor
UnavailableExceptions thrown from init().

When you are compiling servlets yourself, you must ensure that the servlet.jar
file that came with Tomcat is visible on your classpath.  Assuming that
TOMCAT_HOME points at your Tomcat installation directory, you can do this like
so (all on one line):

javac -classpath $TOMCAT_HOME/lib/servlet.jar:$CLASSPATH

Given the number of times I have seen questions posted (or posed to me)
about development tools for servlets and JSP pages, I personally see no
problem with short, one-time announcements of tools that might be of
general interest like this.

FYI, Sun's general interest mailing lists (such as JSP-INTEREST and

Re: Help : can't get java compiling through

[Julio Serje (@canada.com)]

Looks really weird. When tomcat is starting it tells you what classpath is
using, and normally it should contain  tomcat_home/lib/servlet.jar.

Check that you have servlet.jar in your claspath ( tomcat_home/lib
directory), check permissions (if you are running a unix/linux system) or
your environment space if Win 95/98.

Re: Tomcat 3.2-beta-6 or 4.0m3?

[Craig R. McClanahan]

To follow up on a few of the items from my perspective as a Tomcat
developer:

I cannot speak directly for the release plans for 3.2 final -- that is up
to Sam Ruby, who is the release manager for this version.  I would assume,
however, that it is imminent.

My personal goals for Tomcat 4.0 include:

- Feature-complete implementation of the servlet 2.3
  and JSP 1.2 "Proposed Final Draft" specifications
  that were recently published at java.sun.com (this
  will be accomplished with a Milestone 4 release
  that will be generated tomorrow night if all goes well).

- Attention shifting towards bug fixing and performance
  tuning, with the goal of a production-quality implementation
  by Christmas time or so.  The more people that help
  debug and tune it, the shorter this time frame can be.

- Addition of web connectors (so you can run 4.0 behind
  a web server like you can with 3.2), JNDI environment
  support, and other new features as contributed by
  volunteers working on 4.0.

So, which version should you use?

- If you're readying a production deployment, and do not
  need servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 features, definitely stick with
  the most recent release of 3.2.  It will be more stable
  and performant at the moment (although early signs are
  that 4.0 will mature very nicely in these directions :-).

- If you've got some time to help debug and tune, and/or
  you need the new 2.3/1.2 features (like filters, wrapped
  RequestDIspatcher arguments, XML syntax for JSP
  pages, custom tag validators, .) then grab the latest
  milestone of Tomcat 4.0 and help us make it better.

FYI:  Tomcat 4.0 will be the web component of the J2EE 1.3 reference
implementation, when it is released.

The "3.3" code stream was some enhancement work (based on the 3.2 code
base) that started about the time that the first 3.2 beta was released, and
continues to receive some attention even though the TOMCAT-DEV community
voted to switch to the 4.0 code base for the next major release of Tomcat.
While it continues to receive attention from a few developers, I only plan
to mine some of the excellent low-level performance tuning tricks that have
been implemented there.

Although this code is there for anyone who wants to play with it (this is
open source, after all :-), the next major release of Tomcat after 3.2 will
be 4.0, based on the code that is in the "jakarta-tomcat-4.0" CVS
repository.

CLASSPATH and JARs

[Raghu Havaldar]

Hi,

Am using Tomcat 3.1. 

For a webapp, I have a bunch of JARs. How do I ensure that
it gets picked up in the CLASSPATH ?

Putting them in either the web-inf/lib or web-inf/classes does
not help.

>From the FAQ on Jakarta site, one person recommends adding it to
the system CLASSPATH.

Maybe it is fixed in Tomcat 4.0 m3. 

anybody ?

note: Am trying to get Jyve up and running, and it has tons of JARs

Helper script

[David Knaack]

Greetings,

I wrote a script to make it easy for me to control tomcats
on my virtual hosts.  It works well for me so I thought I'd
share it, just in case someone else might find it useful.

It provides easy start/stop/restart control over one or
all of the servers.

I call it 'tomcat', and store it in /bin

It uses the startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts with the -f
parameter to specify what server.xml file to use with each
virtual domain.  Check the config section at the top to
set up variables for your installation.

This is suitable for calling from an init script to
control all the tomcat servers by using the 'all' parameter.

Hope someone else finds it useful!

RE: Help :HANDLER THREAD PROBLEM?

[Ranko Bijelonic]

Are you using a secure Apache server like the one with mod_ssl or Raven or
anything like that?
Also did you just dowload mod_jserv binary?

What you need to do is compile the mod_jserv binary using the Apache apxs
script and make it a part of EAPI (note that I'm not sure exactely what I'm
talking about, but that this is what you have to do).

This problem has been driving me crazy for the past couple days, but
recompiling solved it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Debugging Tomcat 3.1

[David Harris]

I use the Kawa IDE which allows you to start tomcat in debug mode. Kawa is
the most useful IDE I have found for web development, it is cheap, and not
committed to any jvm or internal servlet engine etc.

It has some good documents on debugging, which, unlike most IDEs actually
work.

Since I don't use an ide for developing, I just use the old
System.out.println() to print to the console or the log() method of the
servlet to print to servlet.log. You can use a init-param in your web.xml to
customize the level of logging you do.

JSPs anywhere

I have tried to look in the FAQ, but it seems to be down.

Can anyone give me a quick step-by-step on how to setup Tomcat with Apache
to allow JSP files to be executed from anywhere an HTML can be found? In
other words, I do not want to keep my JSP files in the examples folder ;-)
I want to put JSP files anywhere and have them run.

Pointers to a FAQ would be helpful too.

RE: Getting the examples running

[Ed Gomolka]

Your 
classpath statements look good. The only thing that I can advise at this point 
is to doublecheck your JAVA_HOME value, and ensure
that 
it's pointing to the right place. I have sometimes seen cases where JAVA_HOME 
was pointing to the JRE, but the JAR file was in the JDK's
Java 
lib directory. I have also seen the opposite case.
If 
that's not it, then I'm out of ideas.

RE: Apache/Tomcat Setup on Win2000 Professional

[Aaron Knauf]

I run Tomcat 3.1 Final on win2k at work.  I can say with certainty that it works.  If I were you, I would not run tomcat in a directory that has spaces in its pathname.  While this can work, You always have to be so damn careful with your quoting that I find it is not worth the effort.

Another piece of free advice (and we know what they say about free advice,) is to run tomcat as a service.  There is an excellent howto for achieving this in the docs directory.  If you run tomcat as a service, then all your environment setup for tomcat is explicitly set in the wrapper.properties file - so you can stuff up your classpath and system path as much as you like without breaking tomcat.

Good luck - post back some more info on your configuration if you still have trouble.

Hi  Don,
 
   If your server is responding as expected, with the exception of JSP pages not  working the first thing I would check is your JSP compiler.  If you are set  up and using the JIKES compiler, make sure it is on the path.  If you are  using the default javac compiler add c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar to your classpath  before executing.

[tomcat-user] RE: Tomcat 3.2-beta-6 or 4.0m3?

[kenneth topp]

Yes, a page modeled after:

 http://us1.samba.org/samba/development.html

would indeed kick ass.. I think the tomcat cvs is too
intimidating... There should be a document explaining the tags...

Anycase, my theory is that 3.3 (note that apache doesn't follow the even
version number scheme of the linux kernel) will be the real sucessor to
jserv..  3.1 is sun re (ie not for production use). 3.2 is beggining to
bring it back, but there are many issues, and 3.3 will have everything
in good form again.

4.0 is next gen, which will take some time for people to adapt to.  It
supports the next generation of specifications..

my thoughts.. not gospel, but I would love for tomcat-dev to straighten
things out..  Hopefully politics isn't in play.

problem getting data from a servlet to a jsp page

[Harding, David]

i am trying to get some data from a servlet sent to a jsp page that the
servlet forwards to.

here is what i did:

in servlet:

request.setAttribute("a_key", value);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("/bleh.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

in bleh.jsp:

...
<%= request.getAttribute("a_key") %>
...


and i get a:

org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: /bleh.jsp(9,72) Attribute a_key
has no value

now i changed my servlet to just print out value instead of doing the
forward call and found that there is indeed a value at the time i call
setAttribute().

what is going on here?

cheers,
   david j harding

RE: Security and Forward

[Willie Wheeler]

I just wanted to add two cents about the usefulness of being about to
forward to a protected web resource.  This can be helpful when doing
programmatic access control for web resources using MVC.  You can prevent
direct access to the web resources using container-provided declarative
security, but allow indirect access via the front component.  The front
component does its access control, and if it accepts a request, can forward
to the web resources that wouldn't otherwise be accessible.

This was recently clarified in discussions for servlet 2.3.  Security
constraints apply only on the initial request URI, not on the URIs used
for request dispatchers.  The assumption is that your application knows
whether or not the forwarded-to page is acceptable, or it would not have
done the forward in the first place.

In 2.3, the same rule applies to filters -- they are only based on the
original request URI.

Re: Execute JSP's in a different directory - sans-examples.

[Sterling]

H-

Thank you for the clarity. Being a newbie, still not sure how Tomcat does what
it does. So the confirmation on key points is very helpful.

I'll go through the process and hopefully everything will work out alright.
If not I'm sure the mailing list will be hearing my cries of pain and anguish
soon enough.

Thanks.

PS(BTW - Tomcat does work with Apache right now. The examples come up and the
servlets work fine. And that crazy red page for test pops up also. Although not
really sure what it's testing. 8^)

[tomcat-user] Re: AW: Custom Error Document

[kenneth topp]

Yes, I consider tomcat to be broken, in this regard.

But I make it .jsp and it works fine.

Also, if you have virtual hosts, this hangs (as opposed to a loop),
so I just made an default context to one of the virtual hosts, so it would
pick up the WEB-INF/web.xml... probably causes some other issues, but
fixes this problem.

This means I have apache have ErrorDocument 500 and 404 that are .html
not jsp, since apache handles recursive errors with a builtin string, 
so I have two copyies of my 404 html page...

Also, as a note, I strongly recommend against ajp13 as I've run into
issues.  Will post more when I'm on the other side of the launch.

Trouble installng Tomcat on (Debian) Linux

[Gregory Guthrie]

I installed tomcat on my Debian Linux system from 

Apache runs fine, but I have tomcat problems.

1) How do I test it with their examples? There is a webapps/examples.war;
how do I invoke it?

2) Do I have to manually start it (per the Install "how to run"
instructions?), or shouldn't it be automatically started as needed by
Apache, like Jserv. There is a /etc/init.d/tomcat, so why manually
start?
 -- I want to run with Apache.

3) I tried to look at examples.war, "jar -vft examples.jar",
but it fails (see below), yet the startup (more below) seems to have
successfully loaded them?

omega:/usr/share/java/webapps#
jar vft examples.war

4) I went into /usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat and ran
"./tomcat.sh run", but got lots of errors (see below) which I
didn't get the gist of. (I do have libgmp2 installed). One concern in
that the startup file (init.d/tomcat) says: 
   "# Look for the right JVM to use - Tomcat does not work
with Kaffe!"

but the error below reports Kaffe, and indeed:

[Kitching Simon]  
Hi Scott,

I don't think that it is possible to have servlets that are not
in *any* context. In fact, considering that the sun servlet
spec defines methods like "get parent context" for 
servlets, it seems kinda tricky :-)

Perhaps you are just trying to do away with the /webappname/..
prefix on the urls? If so, then what you do is go into the 
$TOMCAT_HOME/server.xml file, and create a context
entry whose "path" attribute is the empty string, and whose
docRoot is the docroot for your stuff. If you look
at the examples, you will see that the "ROOT" webapp is
set up this way, and that the jsps, htmls, servlets, etc.
of the ROOT webapp can be accessed without any prefix.
Of course, there can only be one context with path=""...

Regards,

Simon

I've seen this problem, on the two installations that I found this
happening, what was actually happening (after uncommenting out the @echo off
lines in tomcat.bat is that an 'out of environment space' error was
occurring.

I think there are two ways to fix it...

see this article:
http://www.polymath-software.com/support/environ.shtml

in short the method I used was no. 2

1) Open the SYSTEM.INI file and find the section "[NonWindowsApp]".
2) Ensure this section contains the following entry:
CommandEnvSize=4096

obviously if it's not an environment space error, this won't work.

Variable lost reference

[Domenico di Girolamo]

I've a servlet loaded on startup.
It has a class viariable (static or not static) that I inizialize in the 
init() method.
I give it an instance of a connection pool class.
This variable is shared with jsp and servlets by 
appletContext.setAttribute and
moreover i have a static metod getVariable() that return it.
All work fine with jsp reloading after they have been changed, 
recompiled and reloaded
by tomcat.
But if i change another servlet on the web application, that use 
appletContext.getAttribute
or static method getVariable(), when tomcat reload the modified servlet 
(different from connectionPool servlet)
, evey call to appletContext.getAttribute or getVariable in any jsp or 
servlet of application return null.
Anyone can help me ? Is it a Bug or an error in my servlets ?
Thanks

  Before posting a question, perform the following steps.

+ Be familiar with servlets in general. See:
  http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/
  http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

+ Read any of the several published books about servlets or JSP.

+ Read the Servlet API 2.2 Specification.

  The spec is currently not available online; you must download a copy.
  You may obtain free Acrobat PDF reader software from:
  http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html
  
  Tomcat implements this spec, so think of it as one of Tomcat's
  manuals.

+ Read Tomcat's other documentation:

+ Study the Tomcat examples.

  First use the servlets found in the /examples context.
  Read their source code.

  Then try your own first servlets in the /examples context, and
  add an entry into /example/WEB-INF/web.xml

+ Search either of these two archives for past discussions.

AW: Custom Error Document

[Amrhein, Thomas]

Hi,

I want to do the same.

Belong the Servlet-Spec 2.2 we have to edit web.xml like this:

...

...

404
/404.html



But my tomcat hangs in an endless loop. He does not find 404.html. In my
system it's 
located in path_to_web_app/404.html 
Do you know where it has to be located?
How does your system behave? I use Tomcat 3.2beta5 under NT.

regards

Thomas

Hi Tomcat developers,

I'd love to see some info on the release plans
for these products too. I presume that those of
you with "committer" status have some
general long-term plans

I understand that software development schedules
(and esp. open-source projects) are difficult to
estimate, but a rough guess would still be better
than no information!

I assume that 3.2 release will come well before
4.0 release, so that's one reason to stick with 3.2
instead of moving to 4.0 right now.
Would I be right in guessing 3.2 release is expected
sometime round december, and 4.0 release around 
march/april next year??? 

However, I am really puzzled by the existence of 
the 3.3 stream; surely 3.4 will come out *after*
4.0, in which case what's the point of it???

Cheers,

Simon

right now I work with tomcat-3.2-beta-6. Is it better to move to 4m3?
What is the reason of having both versions?

Due to the large environment variables that Tomcat startup sets
you will have to modify the properties of the MSDOS prompt
window.
Right click in the upper left corner of a MSDOS window, get
the properties dialog -> memory tab 
Increase the initial memory allocation to 4096

web-inf - is there any way to bypass ?

[Eyal Orbach]

hi

I want to run in start up of the web application, a servlet that does not
exist under web-inf/classes. (In general when any servlet needs such
classes, then we can change the classpath to point on it, but for the
startup, it seems it does not work).

Hi Sterling,

Basically, your description of the process to set 
up a new webapp below is correct.

I suggest that you consider this process as
having two parts:
(a) setting up tomcat
(b) setting up apache

You can configure tomcat, then check that it
is all correct by using tomcat's http port (default
port = 8080). Once this works, then try setting
up apache to pass on the relevant requests
to tomcat. Setting up apache causes lots of
people headaches, so I really recommend
making sure it works with plain tomcat first.

Tomcat 4.0 will apparently remove the need to
configure apache; tomcat will be able to tell
apache about what urls it wishes to handle.
This is not the case for tomcat3.1/3.2 though,
unfortunately.

[Kitching Simon]  
Well, you can put your document root anywhere. If it is under
webapps, then you don't need to tweak the server.xml file
manually, but you do have to live with the /MYDIRECTORY
prefix for each url. The alternative is to edit $TOMCAT_HOME/
server.xml, and define a , with docRoot set to
any directory you want. Tomcat3.2 also comes with an
admin utility to define new contexts via a web page, but I 
haven't tried this myself...

[Kitching Simon]  
Well, yeah. If you want to serve files to a browser, you 
need to put the pages somewhere...

[Kitching Simon]  
If you are happy to have servlets which are accessed via the url
/web-app-name/servlet/servlet-class-name, and you don't
need any special parameters to be passed to the servlets, then
you can use the default mapping [you still need to tell apache
that /web-app-name/servlet/... is to be handled by tomcat].
But if you want servlets to be executed by urls that don't
have a particular prefix, or you want servlet init parameters,
then yes you need a servlet entry in web.xml for each servlet.
I really can't see how else it could be done...until we get that
telepathic interface I've been waiting for.

[Kitching Simon]  
No, if you just want to execute JSP files, it is quite simple. No
WEB-INF directory is needed, no web.xml, etc.
If you want *servlets* as well, then it gets a bit more complicated.
I suggest that it is no more complicated than ASP+COM, or PHP.

RES: Custom Error Document

Yes, but only if there's a web server calling Tomcat (Apache). Put the
ErrorDocument command in Apache's httpd.conf :


ServerName www.fotoptica.com.br
DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html
ApJServMount / ajpv12://192.168.0.13:8007
ErrorDocument 500 /erros/error500.html

RE: strange Error 404

[Wyn Easton]

I would remove the original WebAppA's work
(%TOMCAT_HOME%\work\yourWebAppA)directory to be sure you are not
picking-up anything from there. Do this before you restart Tomcat after
you have done your directory renames.

Virtual Servers with Tomcat

[José Luis Gómez Bocanegra]

Hi,
 
I'm working with IIS( 4.0 and 5.0 ) and 
Tomcat.  
 
I've defined in IIS 3 virtual 
servers:
 
    * Default web server ( 
srvdessev01 )
    * 
Desarrollo.sevilla
    * Discapnet.sevilla
 
My problem is that I have a web under 
"Desarrollo.sevilla" named "oncisa", but I can access this 
web with:
 
    * http://srvdessev01/oncisa
    * http://Desarrollo.sevilla/oncisa
    * http://Discapnet.sevilla/oncisa
 
I need distinguish among virtual servers.  Any 
idea??  Can you help me ?
 
Thanks.

Security and Forward

[Carole HEBRARD]

Hi.

I have the following behaviour in Tomcat 3.2b6 on Windows NT.
I protect a page P using security-constraint in the deployment
descriptor. So when I call this page, the browser asks me for a
login/password.
Now, I have a JSP page which is.
When I call the JSP page, I see the P page without giving any
login/password.

I think that this is a security hole.
Does anyone have already see that behaviour? Is it a bug or is it ok?

Best Regards,
Carole Hébrard.
