Does Tomcat usually run so SLOW?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi!

I've got Tomcat 3.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20, and answer responses are -in my
opinion- very slow (5-6 secs.).

Is it normal?

Re: Jakarta crashes simultaneous more connection above 990+

[Santosh Pasi]

Hi,

Even changing pools setting like
Increasing the pool size resolved the problem, specifically the
following parameters (neatly copied from the tomcat users guide)

   
 
 

The values were arbitrary - I stuck mine up to max_threads = 200,
max_spare_threads=20, min_spare_threads=20
and lo - the hang problem  went away.

Even I had used options

TOMCAT_OPTS=" -Xms64m"

Didn't solve the problem.

Still same problem.

Santosh Pasi

Most importantly, what version of the JDK are you using?  (and are you
running on an SMP system?) - there are some bizarre sigsev violations that
i've made disappear by upgrading to the latest JDK.

The other possible issue you're running into is linux typically has set
limits on the number of file descriptors (which network connections are
a type of) per process, and this number is typically around 1024... 
(and given the other file descriptors that may be open internally for
other purposes - would explain your crashings around the upper 900's)

echo "Upping system limits"
echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max

is what I use on our production servers.  Note - you -may- have to
make a kernel change to go to some of these higher numbers...

java.security.cert.X509Certificate

[Keith Ball]

Hi,

I have a problem with the following code

java.security.cert.X509Certificate clientCert2 =
(java.security.cert.X509Certificate)
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");

It appears that java..x509Certificate != javax..x509Certificate and so I
can't cast from the JSSE to the normal Java Security API.

The error thrown is this...

java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.sun.security.cert.internal.x509.X509V1CertImpl

I am running JDK 1.3.0_02, JSSE 1.0.2, Apache 1.3.20 and Tomcat 3.2.3.

Anyone got any ideas???

I believe this to be a problem associated either with Tomcat or the JSSE
API, as I am running the same code perfectly on Netscape's iPlanet 4.1.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Tomcat 4.0-beta-7 Released

[chris brown]

A few questions about the downloads :

1./ Windows Installer version
(I assume this is the .exe in the main download folder ; I would have
expected it in the "bin" subfolder...).  What does this file actually do?  I
imagine that it unzips the files and installs Tomcat as a service (using
jk_nt_service) -- am I correct so far?  Does it do anything else, such as
modify "httpd.conf" for Apache or any other server setup files (for IIS or
whatever)?

2./ mod_webapp
- Where's the Windows binary?!  The only version I see is for Linux (at
present).
- Is this connecter "stable" code?
- Is it only for Apache 2.0, or can it be used with 1.3.20, etc.?
- Is there any documentation for mod_webapp (I don't know how to use it...)?
- What's the difference between mod_webapp and mod_jk anyway?!

3./ NT service
I currently use JavaService, available from
http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html, to run Tomcat
3.2.3 as a service.  Is this still possible with Tomcat 4.0, or do I need to
use jk_nt_service ?

Thanks,
Chris B.

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer

[Raju Jacob]

Hi,
Pelease help..

I'm getting the following error so far using Tomcat 3.2.2 on
Solaris 8, but I get the following error popping out on the
tomcat console randomly after page output is successfully
fed to a client, sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't.  
The main problem is server got down after running tomcat overnight.
Some times it will automatically removing all the contexts and got down
the server.
do you have any idea about this problem , what would be the cause of
this. 

The error is

Multiple tomcat instances launch by two different users and one apache server

[julien coulmeau]

Hello everybody,

I am using tomcat 3.2 with apache 1.3.20 on solaris 2.6

i am trying to have two instances of tomcat each serving one particular context and 
run by one unix user

I have only one tomcat directory structure

unix user1 should run tomcat to serve web application webapps/app1
unix user2 should run tomcat to serve web application webapps/app2

user1 use the conf/server_user1.xml file where i defined a connector ajp12_user1 on 
port 8007
user2 use the conf/server_user2.xml file where i defined a connector ajp12_user2 on 
port 8009

I have configure apache to pass /app1/*.jsp (& /app1/servlet/*) url through 
ajp12_user1 connector and to pass
/app2/*.jsp (& /app2/servlet/*) url through ajp12_user2 connector

I have also configure the workers.properties to fully define ajp12_user1 and 
ajp12_user2.

Now my problem is that i don't want the "user1" tomcat interfere with the "user2" 
tomcat. And with my configuration,
the app1 context is added by the "user2" tomcat startup and the same the other way

Can anybody have any tips to provide in order to prevent one tomcat process to add 
context I wish to be added only
by an another tomcat process?

I thought about creating two directories for each user with sub-directories webapps, 
conf, log in order to remain with
only one lib, classes and bin sub-directories under tomcat_home. Is it a good idea?
My concern is about the workers.properties file : should I to duplicate this file in 
the two conf directories as is (with the
two workers ajp12_user1 and ajp12_user2 defined in each) or to have only the worker 
related to the user defined in
each workers.properties file.

Thanks in advance for some help

RH Linux 7.1 Java Error

[Allan Kamau]

Hi all,
I know this is perhaps not the most appropriate place
to present this question as it is a purely java
installation problem. But I hope you'll bare with
me.Am getting an 'libjvm.so' error.

I am trying to install jdk1.3.0_02 on RH linux 7.1
from the .rpm installation. 
I've used the rpm -ivh  and even the
GnomeRPM after login as root. The installation
completes successfully, and I even query for errors
using the GnomeRPM but shows me nothing.
However when I run the java or the javac programs I
get the following error.

--start
#java somefile
/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/java: /usr/bin/cut: No such
file or directory
/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/i386/native_threads/java:
error while loading shared libraries: libjvm.so:
cannot load shared object file: No such file or
directory
--end
Indeed the /usr/bin/cut file doesn't exist.
I can't try download the jdk1.3.1 (now downloadable as
one single file) as I am on slow and unrealiable
dial-up link.

Finally, I have the same jdk (jdk1.3.02) installed
from the same .rpm file running flawlessly on a RedHat
6.2 system.

Thank you.
Allan

Hi,

Thanks for prompt reply.

Here is file descriptor properties ... even manually i have increase 
ulimit values of system before starting any services ...
[root@linux /root]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
4096
[root@linux /root]# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
8192
[root@linux /root]#

Btw i have change it to values you specified ... and tested
still same problem ...

For testing it is non SMP

Java is 1.2.2




Thanks again  ...

Tomcat & Security

[Stefano Bonnin]

Hi, I have a problem with the "Tomcat Security".

I have to activate the security option under Tomcat. I have followed the
instructions on the documentation.


I remove the comment and so I have activate the

Then I run tomcat and the following error is appeared on the screen

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Tomcat 4.0-beta-7 Released

[chris brown]

I've answered some of my own questions, but not all.

Re: 1./
I began using the installer, but didn't find that it offered me much; it
didn't let me choose my preferred JVM.  I resorted instead to the standard
"ZIP" file, which worked just fine.  I'd still welcome more info. about it
though!


Re: 2./ mod_webapp
I found a few answers in RELEASE-NOTES-4.0-B7.txt as supplied with the
distribution.  I still can't find any non-Linux distributions however, (I
require a Win32 binary).  I can't find any detailed documention about it
(what is a warp connection?  I've seen warp.jar in Tomcat, but I don't know
really what it does or how to use it)...

How else can I connect Tomcat 4.0 with an Apache server (1.3.20) ?


Re: 3./ NT Service
JavaService seems to work fine with Tomcat 4. There's no problem in using
it's supplied setup scripts (very easy).


Hope someone can reply to the outstanding questions.  Hope my
comments/questions are of use to others too!

Re: RH Linux 7.1 Java Error

[Andrew Robson]

Hi,
  Your problem is that 'cut' is in the wrong place. 
Copy it from wherever it is (/bin I think) into /usr/bin/
This will get rid of error message but you're not out of the 
woods yet. See the thread from yesterday about a missing
file - libstd++-libc6.1-1.so.2 I suspect you will get the 
same problem. I searched redhat to find the package this 
file belonged to and installed via rpm. Had to force it 
as believe it is a 'downgrade' of an existing package.
If you get this far you should rid yourself of any error
messages but you may well find that javac and java
just hang when you try to use them. At this point I 
gave up and switched to RH 7.0. I'm sure a couple of days
later I came across something on the web about a fix to 7.1 
to prevent the jvm hanging problem. But I can't remember where
or the details. Search the Redhat support forums would be a good place
to start. It may be something specific to  particular version of 
jdk which you will avoid because you have the latest (?). 

good luck

is mod_jk.so already corrected?

[Rui Miguel Seabra]

Hello,

  There's a bug on mod_jk.so, that causes an internal server error, when
it tries to redirecty a connection to a tomcat worker that is not there.
  Situation:
1. Apache is running and has: JkMount /servlet/* projWorker
2. make a few successfull connections
3. shutdown tomcat, and start it up again
4. make a connection: an internal server error happens
5. after you repeat it a couple of times, mod_jk finally forgets the
old tcp connection and begins a new one, and everything will be alright
from then on.

  This behaviour is not good, and after diggin in the mailing list
archives, I found that it was a known bug, and that someone was working
on a fix. It either doesn't work, or hasn't been applied, does someone
know of anything?

  Apache runs with its own configuration (and does not read the
automatically generated confs but a static mod_jk.conf) and user, and
tomcat is run by each project owner, and they should never touch the
webserver, so this is being a PITA, since I have to give users
authorization to restart apache, which is _bad_, m'kay? ;)

  Ideas?

If you create a HttpSession, this is a really slow task _the first time_
you do it (for the first user). This because of a SecureRandom class which
is used to make the JSESSION id.

You can configure this in the tomcat config file, so that under devel
settings you can use the normal Random class.

RE: problem bringing up pages

[Randy Layman]

The default TOMCAT_HOME/conf/uriworkermap.properties file only
allows the /examples/ context to be loaded through IIS.  You will need to
modify this file and restart IIS (using the Services Control Panel) to add
any other contexts.

We already have Linux *and* Windows.  I prefer Linux (and Unix) by a long
way, and use it where possible, but we still "need" Windows for a few other
applications (i.e.: no equivalents for certain applications).  For various
reasons, we also need to deploy with NT/2000 sometimes, so it's nice to know
what's portable and what's not.

I was wondering if I could still use mod_jk...  or if mod_webapp will be the
only way for Tomcat 4.  I've also heard about using a JNI interface with
Apache 2, but I don't know how viable this option is (yet).


> Pier

Just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated, and that I'm not
a whining Windows user...!

RE: java error window

[Randy Layman]

I didn't see the original message come across the list, but I
believe that the problem lies in using the JDBC-ODBC bridge.  As I've said
many times in this forum DON'T USE IT.  Its not thread safe and Sun
classifies it as experimental.  There is a bug in Sun's BugParade where they
describe the problem and the resolution states that since its experimental
they will not fix the threading issue.

For the original poster, use Oracle's Java database drivers.  They
work well from the little experience that I've had.   For the MS Access
poster, I would suggest a real database.  Short of that, you'll have to get
better JDBC-ODBC drivers.  Look on Sun's site for a listing.

Re: RH Linux 7.1 Java Error

[Ryan Lubke]

Hi,

In regards to the hanging issue, if you stick with
1.3.0_x on RH 7.1 you will need to export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
or if you upgrade to J2SE 1.3.1 you won't have to export
the above flag.

AFAIK, there is some AJPv14 that is supposed to work with TC4. I never tried
it though... I don't even know if it's working.

The WebApp module is compliant with WatchDog, so meaning that right now I
can ask for compliancy to the servlet spec... And it's coming better every
day...

AW: Jakarta crashes after 900+ simultaneous connection

[Ralph Einfeldt]

That's a problem of your java vm or the underlying
native libraries. 

You have following options 
- Upgrade to a newer version of the VM.
- Use a VM from a different vendor.
- Upgrade to a newer version of the JDK.

P.S.: You didn't mention which JDK you are using.

RE: Tomcat Server Setup question

Hi Michael,

I believe the "Java_Home" the service is looking for is
specified by "workers.java_home" in the workers.properties.
Did you modify this one? You only mentioned fixing
"Tomcat installation home". If not, you will need to
uncomment it and set it your JDK directory. Also be sure
to uncomment the appropriate "ps" (path separator) property.
Hope this helps.

RE: Tomcat Server Setup question

Michael,

Hmmm, in order to get Tomcat runnning on win2k, I didn't have to touch the
"workers.java_home" at all. As someone mentioned before, all I had to do was
add a system wide environmental variable called JAVA_HOME.

-Right click on my computer
-Go down to Properties
-Click the Advanced Tab
-Under the "System Variables" section, click New.
-Name: JAVA_HOME
-Value: [PATH TO JDK] C:\jdk1.2.2

Multiple tomcat instances launch by two different users and one apache server

[julien coulmeau]

Hello everybody,

I am using tomcat 3.2 with apache 1.3.20 on solaris 2.6

i am trying to have two instances of tomcat each serving one particular context and 
run by one unix user

I have only one tomcat directory structure

unix user1 should run tomcat to serve web application webapps/app1
unix user2 should run tomcat to serve web application webapps/app2

user1 use the conf/server_user1.xml file where i defined a connector ajp12_user1 on 
port 8007
user2 use the conf/server_user2.xml file where i defined a connector ajp12_user2 on 
port 8009

I have configure apache to pass /app1/*.jsp (& /app1/servlet/*) url through 
ajp12_user1 connector and to pass
/app2/*.jsp (& /app2/servlet/*) url through ajp12_user2 connector

I have also configure the workers.properties to fully define ajp12_user1 and 
ajp12_user2.

Now my problem is that i don't want the "user1" tomcat interfere with the "user2" 
tomcat. And with my configuration,
the app1 context is added by the "user2" tomcat startup and the same the other way

Can anybody have any tips to provide in order to prevent one tomcat process to add 
context I wish to be added only
by an another tomcat process?

I thought about creating two directories for each user with sub-directories webapps, 
conf, log in order to remain with
only one lib, classes and bin sub-directories under tomcat_home. Is it a good idea?
My concern is about the workers.properties file : should I to duplicate this file in 
the two conf directories as is (with the
two workers ajp12_user1 and ajp12_user2 defined in each) or to have only the worker 
related to the user defined in
each workers.properties file.

Thanks in advance for some help

How can you tell if you have both Apache(1.3.20) and Tomcat(3.2.3) talking 
to one another correctly??  I installed everything as per the documentation 
on Apache and Tomcat using mod_jk.so and NOT mod_jserv.  I am also using the

mod_jk.conf-auto suggestion and made the appropriate changes to do so.

After making all the configuration changes I rebooted, stopped Tomcat,
stopped Apache and restarted all in the following order...started Tomcat
FIRST and then started Apache.  And I can see both default home pages.

But how do I know if both are communicating via mod_jk?? Is there any way I 
can tell??

RE: problem bringing up pages

[Larry Isaacs]

Hi Robert,

Sorry the tomcat-iis_howto.html was never updated to reflect
improvements in the auto-configuration feature of Tomcat 3.2.x
over what was in 3.2.

The mapping of which requests should go to Tomcat is controlled
by the "uriworkermap" file.  Tomcat 3.2.3 comes with a "sample"
uriworkermap.properties file which only maps the "/examples"
context.

When starting Tomcat 3.2.3, two auto-configuration files
are written for IIS, iis_redirect.reg-auto and
uriworkermap.properties-auto. The intent is that you would
rename the iis_redirect.reg-auto to iss_redirect.reg and
execute it to create or update the registry settings needed
by the isapi_redirect.dll.  However, the default "uriworkermap"
file specified in this registry file is the "sample"
uriworkermap.properties.  My guess is that this is why
you only get "/examples" to work.

Modify the iis_redirect.reg file to use uriworkermap.properties-auto
and update your registry.  After restarting IIS you should
be able to see the other contexts.

Larry

Trouble with logging

[JBrawner]

In my servlet I use the log() method which logged to servlet.log.  I have
recently moved my context out of the webapps directory and into my own
directory not in tomcat's directory structure.  Now, everything works ok
except nothing gets logged to servlet.log.   Anybody know how to fix this?

RE: Tomcat Server Setup question

Yes, thats true.  Though some of us don't have the luxury of

Re: Jakarta crashes after 900+ simultaneous connection

[Denis Haskin]

I would definitely upgrade your JVM to the most current version (I'm at 
1.3.1-b24, but that's on Solaris and Win2k).

I had segment violation crashes related to networking in earlier Java 2 
versions, although I don't know that they were exactly this problem.  I 
don't know much about Linux but I would make sure there aren't any 
patches you need there.  We also had to make some Solaris patches.

Just my 2 bits...

RE: xalan and problem with locating custom libraries

[Larry Isaacs]

Because of the way Tomcat 3.2.x sets up its classloader
hierarchy, you are stuck.  I'm not aware of any tricks
to allow your library to remain in /WEB-INF/lib and
xerces and xalan to remain in the "application" classloader.
However, this issue is addressed in Tomcat 3.3 and
Tomcat 4.0.

In Tomcat 3.3, a more complex classloader hierarchy is
built which separates the server classes (which includes
the server's XML parser) from the web application's classes.
Now web applications can have their own XML parser.

In Tomcat 4.0, per the servlet 2.3 spec, classloaders
try to load the class first before delagating to their
parent.  Thus, an XML parser in /WEB-INF/lib would
"override" an XMP parser in a parent classloader.
There is probably more to this story for Tomcat 4.0, but
I will let someone with more experience than me
elaborate.

Larry

RE: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer

This can be normal.  I have seen IIS, after determining that
a resource it has cached hasn't been updated, simply close the
connection rather that continue reading the response.  This

I've got tomcat running fine independent of apache and now I want the 
two to work together... I've downloaded the binary of mod_jk.so and 
put it in the libexec directory, edited the server.xml file and got 
the mod_jk.conf-auto thing happening.. now, after starting tomcat, 
when I try to start apache it dies with this error -

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_jk.so into server: 
/usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_jk.so: ELF file data encoding not 
big-endian

I'm using Suse7.0 ppc on a macintosh blue & white G3, apache 1.3.20 
and tomcat-3.2.3

can anyone help with this?

RE: include and forward error

[Larry Isaacs]

Its not clear if you tried getting this to work directly
in Tomcat, i.e. http://localhost:8080/example/file1.jsp
If not, try this to see if the problem is strickly within
Tomcat.

Note that if your file was named "incFile.jsp" instead of
"incfile.jsp" you would get this error due to case sensitivity
of URL's.

Re: user and password for Tomcat admin

[L.Fernando]

Cristian,
Insert a new line like this

in your TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file, restart tomcat and log in as
the new user "admin" you just created.
It should works.

Cheers,

Fernando.

A Final Plea for Help (tomcat 3.2.2 and Apache 1.1.19)

[Nance, Michael]

I am using Tomcat 3.2.2 and Apache 1.1.19
For a couple days I have asked for help because I am 
seriously stuck.  When I start Tomcat then apache
my connectors Ajp12 and Ajp13 won't start.  I do a netstat
and they (8007 and 8009) are not there.

We are switching from Mod_JServ to Mod_JK and when I run the
JServ version the AJp12 starts fine (AJp13 not used)

This is from my server.xml


   








   
   
   
   
   






Also
Second

our dir structure is something like this

../src/common/...  path to all classes etc
../src/public_html/..   path to all jsp's

in my server.xml I have a line



I believe that will take care of my jsps but not a path to my Servlets
How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance

RE: ELF data encoding not big-endian

[William Kaufman]

The Apache folks don't seem to distribute Linux/PPC libraries, just
Linux/Intel; and SuSE doesn't package Apache/Tomcat on PPC.

So, while you can use the Java classes and any other files you've already
downloaded, you'll need to build mod_jk.so (and any other libraries you
need) yourself.

You can get the source at,

  http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.2.3/src/

and compile the right mod_jk.c for your version of Apache.

Re: Tomcat Server Setup question

[Greg Fasnacht]

Tom,

You're still one step (at least one). How did you get Tomcat set up as a
service? I'm trying to0 do the same thing on win2k with 4.0b6.  I found
jk_nt_service.exe but not the wrapper file it's supposed to require.

Configuring Tomcat 3.2.3 to use EJB

[Steven Caswell]

I understand that Tomcat does not "support" EJB in the
sense that it does not provide a container.  However,
I'm trying to access an EJB being served by Sun's
Reference Implementation.  I can't figure out how to
get Tomcat to find the com.sun classes necessary to
create the JNDI initial context.  If I put the
j2ee.jar in the webapp's WEB-INF\lib path, Tomcat
simply can't find the right classes.  If I put
j2ee.jar in Tomcat's lib path, Tomcat won't start.  Is
there a simple way for me to configure either Tomcat
or my webapp to find the appropriate JNDI classes?
TIA

RE: A Final Plea for Help (tomcat 3.2.2 and Apache 1.1.19)

[Larry Isaacs]

Tried your  entries in my Tomcat 3.2.2 server.xml
and the worked fine for me.  Note that you may not see the
ports unless you execute "netstat -a".

Since Tomcat 3.2.2 is an implementation of the servlet 2.2
spec, your servlets would normally be part of the
web application, i.e. under "public_html/WEB-INF/classes"
or in a jar in "public_html/WEB-INF/lib".  This directory
structure is mandated by the spec.

You can put your servlets on the CLASSPATH and make them
available to all web applications.  However, putting your
servlets on the CLASSPATH will mean the servlets can not
access classes found in the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib
of your web applications.

Hope this helps.

Larry

Thanks Bill for your prompt reply,
At the URL you've given I can see the source for tomcat and the API 
but not mod_jk.. is the source for mod_jk bundled within the tomcat 
file? Will I need to build tomcat as well or just mod_jk?

again, many thanks.

install problem on Solaris7

[BERGER David, SETRA/CITS]

Hi all

I'm trying to install Tomcat 3.2 with Apache 1.3.12 and JRE1.3 on Solaris 7.
I did install the last patches for Solaris to get JRE working.
I've followed the instructions of the
<> web
page. (compiling Apache with mod_so, building mod_jk for Solaris, modifying
Apache's httpd.conf to refer to mod_jk.conf, modifying mod_jk.conf, and
workers.properties files)
I've started Tomcat before Apache with no error message.
Everything seemed fine so far, but I get an ERROR 500 with the JSP examples
files provided with tomcat. (in examples/jsp/).

Anyone can help me with this?

If it can help, i pasted below the error message i get with one of the JSP
example.

RE: install problem on Solaris7

[Larry Isaacs]

You need a JDK instead of a JRE to get the tools.jar file
which is needed to compile the JSP's java file into a class.
/lib/tools.jar needs to be on the classpath.

Sorry, it's in jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3-src.*, under src/native/ .

> Will I need to build tomcat as well or just mod_jk?

You should only have to rebuild native executable code--i.e., the *.c
files--not Java classes or other files.  The Makefile in each directory
containing a *.c file should work for you.

That's correct ... you cannot cast it.  Tomcat should be doing the
conversion for you (Tomcat 4 does this) -- if Tomcat 3.2.3 is not doing
that, it's a bug.  Could you please report it to:

Tomcat 4.0 beta 7 was released last night, with bug fixes over beta 5.  It
is quite stable.

There are tons of webapps around that run on various versions of Tomcat --
one set that I'm familiar with is the documentation and examples that come
with the Struts framework .  Just drop
the WAR files in the "webapps" directory into your Tomcat
"webapps" directory, restart Tomcat, and go.

Re: install problem on Solaris7

[Boris Niyazov]

You probably need j2sdk (you can grab one for solaris on sun's website). It has 
development tools like tools.jar in its lib folder. Make sure you JAVA_HOME is 
set in order for tomcat to find required jars in the JAVA_HOME/lib

The ".exe" version is an all-in-one installer (for Windows only) that
installs and configures Tomcat for you (including optionally setting it up
to run as an NT service).  The "bin" directory will contain mod_webapp
binaries for various platforms.

Pier just got done adding binaries for Mac OSX and Solaris 8 Sparc, and is
working on Solaris 8 Intel and HP/UX 10.20.  We need someone with an
appropriate C compiler to build for Windows ... volunteers?

It's a *lot* better than before, but still beta code.  There are some
known issues mentioned in the release notes.

In fact, it's only for Apache 1.3.

The Linux .so file has just been repackaged with documentation (also
included with the other versions).

Technically, they are completely different on the inside.  From the user
perspective, mod_webapp was designed to understand what a "web
application" (in the servlet spec's definition) is -- hence the name
:-)  Unlike mod_jk, where you have to configure everything twice (or hope
that the auto-generated config files take care of everything for you),
adding a web app to Apache's httpd.conf file boils down to one statement:

  WebAppDeploy  examples  warpConnection  /examples/

and the connector will configure itself from the web.xml file for the
"/examples" web app (included with Tomcat).

In this version, the connector still hands over all requests for this web
app to Tomcat (including static files).  When final release happens, it
will automatically figure out which requests can be served by Apache
(basically, all static files that are not subject to filtering or a
security constraint) and pass to Tomcat only the required ones.

Since mod_jk is much more mature than mod_webapp at the moment, it has
several other features that mod_webapp does not yet possess (like load
balancing).  These features will be added in later versions of mod_webapp.

You can in fact use mod_jk if you want to -- on the Apache side it's
identical to the mod_jk used for Tomcat 3.x.  Instructions for configuring
this can be found in the "jakarta-tomcat-connectors" CVS repository.  I'll

JNDI bound in tomcat

[Papo Napolitano]

I'm trying to use JNDI in tomcat but it doesn't work!!!

I deployed this code with the deploytool and run ok in J2EE server in
localhost:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Object objref = ctx.lookup("usermanager");
UserManagerHome homeuser =
(UserManagerHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, UserManagerHome.class);
UserManager UsrMgr = homeuser.create();

Now, I'm trying to make the deploy with ant application and run it in Tomcat
Server (remote host). And I get the following error:

One "heads up" related to this for both 3.3 and 4.0 is important.  In 3.2,
Tomcat exposed an XML parser to all webapps, so that they didn't have to
provide one of their own.  This is *not* true for 3.3 or 4.0 -- you have
to either put one in the global library directory ($TOMCAT_HOME/lib) or
include the parser in /WEB-INF/lib of your web app.

To use EJBs inside the J2EE RI, you'll need to run your web apps inside
the RI's servlet container (which happens to be Tomcat -- J2EE RI 1.2 has
a modified version of Tomcat 3.0, while J2EE RI 1.3 includes Tomcat 4.0).

Tried your  entries in my Tomcat 3.2.2 server.xml
and the worked fine for me.  Note that you may not see the
ports unless you execute "netstat -a".

Since Tomcat 3.2.2 is an implementation of the servlet 2.2
spec, your servlets would normally be part of the
web application, i.e. under "public_html/WEB-INF/classes"
or in a jar in "public_html/WEB-INF/lib".  This directory
structure is mandated by the spec.

You can put your servlets on the CLASSPATH and make them
available to all web applications.  However, putting your
servlets on the CLASSPATH will mean the servlets can not
access classes found in the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib
of your web applications.

Hope this helps.

What kind of object is UserManager supposed to be?  Where are you trying
to load it from?  If it is supposed to be an EJB, you will need to be
using a J2EE server (like the J2EE reference implementation from Sun, or
JBoss, or ...), not Tomcat by itself.

I've had a look at Tomcat 4's server.xml file.  Seems straightforward
enough.  Following on from your comments about still being able to use

Do I still need both an AJP12 connector (for shutdown) *and* AJP13 connector

So there is no easy way to access an EJB server from

Tomcat 3.2.3. getPathInfo() escape problem

[Ross Inglis]

Hi All.

I recently decided it was time to upgrade my servlet based web-server. After
checking the
latest versions etc I went with Apache 1.3.20, Tomcat 3.2.3 and Cocoon
2.0b2. (I'm running
Windows NT).  I figured I'd get all the grief over with in one go! :-)

(For the record, I was previously running Apache JServ 1.1.2 & Cocoon 1.7.4)

After the expected problems working out the new configuration techniques,
moving and
tweaking servlets and editing XML, I got everything up and running pretty
well.

One new problem has appeared however, that my previous setup did not show.

I have a servlet (ServletA) that generates a URL as part of a generated web
page. It includes
a file path on the server, and the URL generated looks like this:

http://myserver/context/servlet/ServletB/file/path/file.xyz

This URL directs another servlet (ServletB) to read the file
"file/path/file.xyz".  This all worked
just fine until ServletA found a file named "file/path/broken+.xyz" and
generated a URL with
a '+' sign in it..  ServletB calls getPathInfo() on this and gets
"file/path/broken .xyz" (+ replaced by space).

OK. No problem I thought, I have forgotten to escape the '+' to %2b when I
generate the URL.
Some quick servlet code changes later, I tried again.  Now the URL was
generated as:

http://myserver/context/servlet/ServletB/file/path/broken%2b.xyz

But on the ServletB side getPathInfo() STILL returns "broken .xyz" (with the
damn space!)

I even tried double-escaping to:

http://myserver/context/servlet/ServletB/file/path/broken%252b.xyz

but that apparently blew away Tomcats (or Apache's) URL pattern matching and
just returned
Error 404.

Anyone know whats going on here? It looks suspicously like something has
unescaped the path
information twice. Or am I getting confused about who whould escape that bad
file name?

 I found nothing similar in the mailing lists or Apache bug database.

Ross.

Re: Unable to compile class for JSP

If you use beans that are not in a Java package, you have to explicitly
import them.  When your bean is in a package and you use the fully
qualified name (strongly recommended), this is not needed.

This won't work "as is", because the Ajp13ConnectionHandler class is not
part of the standard Tomcat 4 distribution.  You'll need to follow the
instructions in the "jakarta-tomcat-connectors" CVS repository to build
and install the necessary pieces on both sides.

Tried your files in Tomcat 3.3 and Tomcat 3.2.3 as described
and they worked fine for me.  Please supply more of the error
message that gives what the compile error was.

Tomcat has no EJB container.

You just start up the j2ee server, following the instructions in the RI
download -- Tomcat is built in already.  It makes a non-SSL HTTP connector
available on port 8000, and an SSL connector on port 7000.

Note that you'll also have to follow the procedures described in the
documentation for packaging and deploying your apps.  In particular,
that's where the linkage between a particular JNDI name for an EJB, and
the actual implementation of the bean, is managed.

Craig

PS:  If you're just starting out and using this for education, I'd suggest
downloading J2EE 1.3-beta-2 instead of 1.2.  That way, you won't have to
relearn all the things that have changed between 1.2 and 1.3.

In Servlet 2.3 (and therefore in Tomcat 4b7 but not 3.2.3) there is a new
request.setCharacterEncoding() call that you can use to tell Tomcat to do
this transformation for you before returning the parameter in the first
place.

The servlet spec specifies that getPathInfo() returns a decoded string,
so this is correct behavior.

I don't see how Tomcat or Apache could incorrectly decode %2b into
a space.  Could there be some caching going on and the old URL
is being used.  Can you check some logs to verify the request is
coming in with %2b?

For security reasons, Tomcat 3.2.3, 3.3, and 4.0 no longer allow '%'
to be escaped (i.e. %25) in a URL.  Preventing something like
"myjsp%252Ejsp" (%252E = double escaped '.') from serving up JSP source
proved impractical otherwise.

Question regarding servlet/jsp mapping using uriworkermap.properties

[Eric Wu]

I have a question regarding mapping with uriworkermap.properties.
We have Tomcat running with IIS and I would like to set things up so that
IIS serves up static content (html files) leaving Tomcat to handle JSP and
Struts.

My question is this:  if the directories holding the JSPs are structured as
follows:

\myContext\jsp\a1\b1\ {some JSP files}
\myContext\jsp\a1\b2\ {some JSP files}
\myContext\jsp\a2\c1\ {some JSP files}
\myContext\jsp\a3\c2\ {some JSP files}

Can I map these to Tomcat using the following entries in
uriworkermap.properties?
\myContext\jsp\*.jsp=ajp12

Or will I need to specify a rule for each directory?
\myContext\jsp\a1\b1\*.jsp=ajp12
\myContext\jsp\a1\b2\*.jsp=ajp12
\myContext\jsp\a2\c1\*.jsp=ajp12
\myContext\jsp\a3\c2\*.jsp=ajp12

There is a corresponding problem if the transformed size is *smaller* than
the original size.  In that case, your filter will be writing fewer bytes
than the container expects.

It is your responsibility to call response.setContentLength() on the
"real" response in your filter if you change the content length of the
content provided by the original servlet.  The value your filter sets must
match the number of bytes your filter is actually going to write to the
"real" response's output stream.

Without using filters, your servlet is responsible for settting the
"Content-Length" header of the response (normally this is done by calling
setContentLength()), and then writing exactly that many bytes.  If the
servlet does *not* set the content length explicitly, the container will
deal with it (for example, if you're using HTTP/1.1 persistent
connections, it will switch to chunked output mode).

However, if the servlet *did* set the content length of the response, and
a filter post-processes the response data to change the length, then it is
the filter's responsibility to update the content length on the
"real" response to match the number of bytes that it actually writes.

The filter code could be modified to do this.  It would involve capturing
the output of the transform into a ByteArrayOutputStream (or perhaps to a
temporary file if you're doing big transforms), counting the bytes,
calling response.setContentLength(), and then copying the bytes to the
response output stream.

enabling all users for .jsp

[David Bishop]

I have a bunch of users that do the ~username convention to publish out of
their home directory.  My question is, how do I let them use .jsp without
going through and manually mounting each directory?  In my mod_jk.conf I have
JkMount /*.jsp ajp12 which, according to my understanding, means "if it has a
.jsp extension, pass it to tomcat who will automagically take care of it".
However, it doesn't work out that way ;-)  Any attempts to his something like
foo.com/~username/helloworld.jsp, results in the infamous 404 from tomcat.
It appears apache is passing it over readily enough, but tomcat doesn't know
how to expand ~user to /u/user/public_html.  Please help, as this is the last
thing I need to get going before it is working perfectly.

If it matters:
Solaris 7, Ultra60
Apache 1.3.14
Tomcat 3.2.3
mod_jk 3.3-b1

Thanks in advance!

RE: Encoding problem in Opera browser

[Evgeniy Strokin]

Still problem.
In TC4b7 I set request to UTF-8 encoding also (I use
filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter
encoding in web.xml and request.setCharacterEncoding())
I removed
param=new String(param.getBytes("iso-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
and leaved only
String param=_request.getParameter(name);
Exactly the same result: in IE and NS every things fine from Opera value is
cut.

request.setCharacterEncoding() call that you can use to tell Tomcat to do

Thanks for this tidbit! Fortunately, I run a development server, so going 
to 3.3 or 4.0 isn't a problem for me.

Although, I must say, this solution doesn't strike me as the most 
elegant.  At least in the case of an xml parser.  Why should we have 
multiple copies of the same damn thing taking up extra resources?  I feel, 
that the real solution must come from xalan itself.  It should be possible 
to hand Xalan a list of class loaders that it can use to load extension 
functions and elements (actually, most libraries that for whatever reason 
do their own class loading should provide such an option).

I don't use Opera, so I don't know if this is a stupid question, but ...
are you sure Opera is really encoding the parameters in UTF-8 like you
expect it to?
