servlet-mappings

[Dr. Evil]

I'm trying to do some fancy stuff with servlet mappings.  This
mechanism leaves a lot to be desired; specificly, it would be
amazingly useful to be able to do a getRequestDispatcher in some way
that bypasses the servlet mappings in the web.xml file.  Alternatively
it would be extremely useful to be able to call the jsp servlet from
within another servlet, but this doesn't seem to be possible.  rd =
request.getRequestDispatcher("jsp") never seems to work.

Anyway, here's the question:

I know there are prefix mappings, such as /foo/bar/, and extension
mappings such as *.foo, but it doesn't seem like it's possible to do
mappings like /foo/bar/*.baz.  This mapping seems to never hit.  Is
there a way to do that?

Thanks

Strange problem in Tomcat 3.2.1

[sudhir agrawal]

Hi all,

I am facing a very strange problem with tomcat 3.2.1
 i have integrated it with Apache 1.3.12

whenever i made a request to load a jsp file from
browser .browser open a popup window to download the
file.

What my be the problem.My browser Mime Type is
configured to accept jsp file. I think there is some
problem in configuring web.xml.

Is there any option for configuring MIME type in
tomcat configuration file.

or this is a bug in tomcat??

Please help me
Thanks in Advance

MVC in Tomcat is hard

[Dr. Evil]

I'm trying to use the Model-View-Controler design approach in Tomcat.
Here's what I'm trying to do:

I'll put the Model stuff in a servlet.  The View stuff will go into a
jsp page (actually a custom tag lib).  What I need to do is, when I
view a page like foo.jsp, the servlet needs to get invoked to set up
some state, so the tags can then dispaly it.  So, let's say the client
requests

http://host/dir/foo.jsp

I want to have a servlet, let's call it controler.class, be called,
do its stuff, and then get a RequestDispatcher, and then do
rd.forward() to foo.jsp.  This doesn't seem to be possible.  Is there
a way to do this?

Thanks

Re: MVC in Tomcat is hard

[Sriram Narayanan]

Hi,

Umm... What I do in such cases is contact a servlet, let it to all the state related 
stuff, and then it forwards the request to the JSP.
The JSP then uses the Object placed into the session by the servlet, and renders it.

I don't know if this is acceptable as MVC though.

Re: MVC in Tomcat is hard

[Sriram Narayanan]

I've not tried this yet, but here's another idea (Note : I'm absolutely new to Web 
related stuff, and have not idea on how to use taglibs...)

-> Submit a request to the JSP with a parameter. Perhaps a hidden field.
-> The JSP examines the request for this field, and then forwards to the servlet if 
the field values so indicates.
-> The servlet receives the request, does some processing, and then forwards back to 
the jsp, after setting a new value for the hidden field.
-> the JSP receives this request, checks the field, decides that it now has to do some 
new stuff,
-> Gets the info the servlet had placed into the session, and uses this info to rencer 
the page.

Childish, perhaps, but I can't think of anything else. (Must read up on taglibs...)

Re: MVC in Tomcat is hard

[Mika Goeckel]

Hi Dr.Evil,

have you had a look on the jakarta-struts project? At a first glance it may
look a little bit complicated, but it implements a MVC approach and could
possibly deliver a bunch of already written code for your project. Getting
started is very easy, it's sufficient to place (one of) the example WARs
into tomcat (4.*) webapps.

Cheers, Mika

Hi,

I'd just visited the jakarta site, and they have something called "Struts". Looks like

Re: Additionnal classpath

[Sriram Narayanan]

Hi,

This works under Windows for batch files, should work for unix shell scripts too.

If you are using the batch file to load Tomcat, you might have to alter this file, as 
the batch file sets aside the system classpath and sets up it's own class path.

When you use the shutdown batchfile, the Tomcat sepcific classpath is cleared and the 
previous classpath is restored.

Tomcat's not running Re: Strange problem in Tomcat 3.2.1

[Sriram Narayanan]

Loks like Tomcat's not processing the JSPs , and Apache's just lifting the JSP's and 
service them to you.

A simple check to see it tomcat's been activated is to check the Tomcat logs.

Also, there's no need to configure anything on the browser side when viewing JSPs. 
Jsps are processed on the server side, and send back HTML code to the 
browser. 

In your case, here's what's supposed to happen:
-> You configure Apache so that it loads the Tomcat connector.
-> Start Tomcat first and then Apache http server.
-> If everything's OK, then here's what happens when you ask for a JSP.

1. The apache server receives a request for the JSP.
2. Tomcat takes over because its integrated with Apache (in your case).
3. Tomcat receives the request and response related objects, and passes these to the 
JSP.
4. The JSP receives these, does it's processing, and the resulting HTML is handed back 
to the web server, i.e. Apache httpd.
5. Apache httpd then returns this HTML to the browser.

If tomcat's not configured, then the apache httpd server will just pick up the jsp 
file as if it were an ordinary file, and send this file to the browser.
If the browser can understand this file's type (IE 5 does, this despite us setting the 
content type ), then it renders it. This is for files like gif images, etc.
If the browser does not understand the file's type, then it gives you the download 
prompt. This is what's happening in your case.

I know that you don't like to do that - you got your share of "friendly fire" on 
this list regarding the existing mod_webapp, but you could still give us some

Currently, I'm not even using any connector, so I could wait a bit - a month or

I can't. As I told you, I don't care much about it, since in most scenarios
my web applications are 100% dynamic. From the look of it, the patch
shouldn't take more than 4/5 hours + testing, but I'd rather go out and find
a new job (since I lost mine yesterday) than do it :)

A month or two is probably fine... From the look of it it was supposed to
come out by Nov. 9th, but for sure we can't make it for then (J.F. Is on
vacation, and next week I'll have to start looking around).

> Is it working with Apache 2.0?

Yes, the Apache 2.0 team ported the 1.3 module to the new web server, but
the build is kinda flaky since even in the last releases of Apache 2.0 APXS
is still broken... Maybe it would be easier to build it as a statically
compiled module...

Hello,

could somebody explain me how is it possible to protect some ressources from direct 
access.

I think about a javascript directory.
This directory has to be accessed by some JSP pages, but I do not want the user to 
access this directory

I move my javascript directory under web-inf but by doing this, js files are no longer

thanks a lot for your help.

My processor is  AMD K6 with the type i586.

In Apache website it is given for i386. Can I use the same mod_jk.so for

Javascripts are interpreted BY THE CLIENT, not by the server, so no matter
what, the client NEEDS to se that .js file, and needs to be able to download
it.

Check out the web for mod_jk.
Here's a link to the jakarta site that may help.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/mod_jk-howto.html

It's easier than you think to integrate Tomcat with Apache.  In your
httpd.conf, include a line like:
Include $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto
Make sure that the mod_jk.conf-auto points to mod_jk.so
There are probably better ways of doing this, but it worked for me.
Good luck.

I tried to modify the tomcat.policy file as follows :

permission java.net.SocketPermission
"IP-address:1024-","accept,listen,resolve";

But this code gets lost after the next Tomcat 3.2.1 restart

I don't know what I could do to get rid of that problem.

Your help would really be appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Mark (HotD*)

There's no "real" protection since the files in question would end up in
browser's cache, no matter disk or memory, anyway.
Try setting a filter on the directory containing the .js files and checking
for "referer" http header. It's not a real solution, you could still telnet
:80 and write GET /dir/file.js2 HTTP/1.1 [enter] Referer:
http://server/file.jsp [enter] [enter] and get the file, but it's the best
you can do. Filters are 2.3 of course.

Does anyone know what the cause of this problem could be? Tomcat 3.3
worked fine on my system. I was just going to upgrade..
