Re: Advice wanted about mapping URIs to pages
Why don't you put all your stuff under Tomcat? With Struts 1.1, it's possible to define several contexts for your application (i.e. have several struts-config.xml files) and this seems to me the solution which possibly could address your needs. Additionally, if you have the possibility, the ideal solution would be a mixture between Apache httpd and Tomcat, so that HTML is served by Apache which guarantees better performances. I know that the security issue is a 'pain in the ass' (I'm writing my security model but the reason is that I'm guaranteeing security on the EJB tier, and there is no vendor-independent security solution at present), but if you need only to check security at the web-lier, I would seriously think to implement the security using Tomcat native architecture, with one of its security realms modules. Hope this will help, Marco - Original Message - From: Bob Langford [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 1:19 AM Subject: Advice wanted about mapping URIs to pages I'm trying to decide how to lay out my application. The major question is how to make Tomcat run it, but ideas for better organization would be welcome also. I'd better describe the setup, even though it's a bit lengthy. I'm running a separate instance of Tomcat, dedicated to this project. It's got two major sections: access control and content. 1) The access control is a set of JSP pages (using Struts) that handle user signup, login, etc. I have written a Filter that checks credentials on each page. 2) The content is a bunch of static HTML, GIFs, Flash, etc. Down the road there will also be some JSP here. This stuff is written by another person, and mostly already exists. I'd like to have the directory| Accessed from URI's such as these: layout like this: | ./tomcat/webapps/control.war xyz.com/ ./web/public/*.html xyz.com/public/foo.html ./web/basic/*.html xyz.com/good/bar.html ./web/deluxe/*.html xyz.com/better/some.pdf ./web/premier/*.html xyz.com/best/cool.swf The first one seems straightforward. The others are a bit harder. It's not going to be possible to put them into a .WAR file, and they're going to be updated constantly. They're not under the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory, so I don't know how to tell Tomcat to find them. Maybe symbolic links? The hard part is context. My custom Filter has to apply to all the directories under ./web, but also access the Session and other data that is part of control.war, and I've had trouble doing that. It would be easy to have them be separate apps, but I can't get my authentication working that way. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm still experimenting, but I feel like every idea I've tried is an ugly hack. I'd rather be elegant :-) Thanks! P.S. Infrastructure: Linux 2.4.x, Tomcat 4.1.27, Struts 1.1. Solutions don't have to be portable to other software. I'd rather not use Tomcat 5, though.

JNDI DataSource - need to synchronize?
Hello List...
Some coding help please. Following earlier advice on this list and the TC datasource
how-to, I've now got a working test servlet. Basically I declare the Context(s) and
DataSource as instance variables, and initialize them in init:
Context initContext = null;
Context envContext = null;
DataSource ds = null;
public void init() throws ServletException {
try {
initContext = new InitialContext();
envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup(
java:comp/env);
ds = (DataSource) envContext.lookup(
jdbc/jpdb);
} catch (NamingException e) {
throw new ServletException(
Couldn't setup JNDI Context/DataSource, e);
}
}
==
If this is the correct approach, should I be synchronizing the Context(s)/DataSource
in the doGet method? If another http request thread closes it's own connection, will
it affect the Context or DataSource object of this request?
Thanks for any clarification,
/j-p.

Re: JNDI DataSource - need to synchronize?
Well, to be sure, put your variables inside the methods. This way, your data
will be safe. One idea would be to create objects when you need them, and to
close them when you've finished.

www.openssl.org is the website for OpenSSL. It's an open source implementation of SSL / TLS together with a tremendous amount of other stuff (such as X.509, S/MIME, every cryptographic algorithm you ever heard of). You can also use it to set up your own CA - it's not the easiest software to use as it takes a terrific number of command line switches, but it's probably more convenient than having to wait on Verisign and renew your certificates every couple of weeks. - Original Message - From: Adam Hardy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 10:43 AM Subject: Re: SSL/Verisign Confusion Hi Dave, how much does it cost at Verisign, and how long is it valid for?

Using OpenSSL to set up your own CA
Tons of people seem to have wondered whether they can use OpenSSL to set up their own CA and server certificates. The answer is most certainly and for people who've never encountered it before, I'll tell you how. SETTING UP YOUR CA --- Step 1. Go to www.openssl.org and download the source code. Even Windows users need to build it, so you'll need access to a C compiler. You may be able to get hold of prebuilt binaries on the web and you can certainly get hold of the GNU C compiler or you can use Borland and Microsoft compilers. There are good build instructions included with the source distribution, so I won't go into build details. Step 2. Create directories to hold your CA keys, your server keys and, if you want to use SSL client authentication, your client keys. For the sake of argument let's assume that these directories are called ssl/ca, ssl/server and ssl/client. Step 3. Create a private key and certificate request for your own CA: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -out ssl/ca/ca.csr -keyout ssl/ca/ca.key Step 4. Create your CA's self-signed certificate (note lasts one year - increase the days setting to whatever you want): openssl x509 -trustout -signkey ssl/ca/ca.key -days 365 -req -in ssl/ca/ca.csr -out ssl/ca/ca.pem WINDOWS USERS:If you copy the ca.pem file to ca.crt and edit the file so that the strings TRUSTED CERTIFICATE read CERTIFICATE, you can import your CA certificate into your trusted root certificates store. Step 5. Import the CA certificate into the JDK certificate authorities keystore: keytool -import -keystore $JAVA_JOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file ssl/ca/ca.pem -alias my_ca Windows users need to replace $JAVA_HOME with %JAVA_HOME%. Step 6. Create a file to hold your CA's serial numbers. This file starts with the number 2: echo 02 ssl/ca/ca.srl SETTING UP YOUR WEB SERVER Step 7. Create a keystore for your web server. keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keystore ssl/server/server.ks -storetype JKS Step 8. Create a certificate request for your web server. keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -file ssl/server/server.csr -keystore ssl/server/server.ks You need to edit the certificate request file slightly. Open it up in a text editor and amend the text which reads NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST to CERTIFICATE REQUEST Step 9. Have your CA sign your certificate request: openssl x509 -CA ssl/ca/ca.pem -CAkey ssl/ca/ca.key -CAserial ssl/ca/ca.srl -req -in ssl/server/server.csr -out ssl/server/server.crt -days 365 Step 10. Import your signed server certificate into your server keystore: keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore ssl/server/server.ks -trustcacerts -file ssl/server/server.crt You should see a message Certificate reply was installed in keystore. Step 11. Import your CA certificate into your server keystore: keytool -import -alias my_ca -keystore ssl/server/server.ks -trustcacerts -file ssl/ca/ca.pem This step is only necessary if you wish to use SSL client authentication with Tomcat. Step 12. Set up an SSL connector for Tomcat. I assume that you know, or can find out, how to do this. Open up conf/server.xml in a text editor and search for the text keystoreFile. Ensure that the attribute value is the keystore you've created above. SETTING UP AN SSL CLIENT --- Step 13. Create a client certificate request: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:512 -nodes -out ssl/client/client1.req -keyout ssl/client/client1.key The common name of the client must match a user in Tomcat's user realm (e.g. an entry in conf/tomcat-users.xml). Step 14. Have your CA sign your client certificate. openssl x509 -CA ssl/ca/ca.pem -CAkey ssl/ca/ca.key -CAserial ssl/ca/ca.srl -req -in ssl/client/client1.req -out ssl/client/client1.pem -days 365 Step 15. Generate a PKCS12 file containing your server key and server certificate. openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in ssl/client/client1.pem -inkey ssl/client/client1.key -out ssl/client/client1.p12 -name my_client_certificate Step 16. Import the PKCS12 file into your web browser to use as your client certificate and key. Repeat steps 13-16 as often as required. Step 17. Enable client certificate authentication in Tomcat. Open up conf/server.xml and search for the text clientAuth. Set the value of the attribute to true. I apologize in advance for any typing errors. Hopefully, it's all correct and you should all be able to get up to speed with OpenSSL. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi guys.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 It says: The content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded is inefficient for sending large quantities of binary data or text containing non-ASCII characters. The content type multipart/form-data should be used for submitting forms that contain files, non-ASCII data, and binary data.

Re: Problem building mod_jk2 on Freebsd 4.8-RELEASE
Hi Dean, I have the same Apache and Tomcat versions on Redhat 9. I'm not sure if setup is the same but what I did was a lot shorter and worked, no probs, first you need the jk2 connectors file jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.2-src.tar.gz untar it somewhere, then cd to the jk/native2 directory and do: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-tomcat41=/usr/local/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27 \ --with-apache2-lib=/usr/local/apache2/lib \ --with-apr-lib=/usr/local/apache2/lib --with-jni then make, then cp build/jk2/apache2/mod_jk2.so /usr/local/apache2/modules/ cp build/jk2/apache2/jkjni.so /usr/local/apache2/modules/ then ## from tomcat-docs/jk2/jk2/confighowto.html # Minimum configuration is the simplest one to make the JK2 working. The used channel will be socket, and lot of options are used by default. Both the Tomcat and web server are on the same computer. jk2.properties: # The default port is 8009 but you can use another one # channelSocket.port=8019 That is all needed on the Tomcat side to configure the JK2. workers2.properties: # Define the communication channel [channel.socket:localhost:8009] info=Ajp13 forwarding over socket tomcatId=localhost:8009 # Map the Tomcat examples webapp to the Web server uri space [uri:/examples/*] info=Map the whole webapp Start the Tomcat and Web server and browse to the http://localhost/examples/ ### for me that worked hope this helps, kind regards, Luke On Mon, 2003-09-01 at 16:13, Dean Searle wrote: Hello All!

jdbc servlets and jsp
Hi,
I'm having a few probs (fun) getting jdbc to work in servlets and jsp,
tomcat in other words.
I've successfully got jdbc working with postgresql in a regular java

database connection happening from there, however no luck,
Is there anything I need to set up in server.xml or web.xml before it
can work?

Re[4]: Charset encoding issue
Hello, Lima! lccb I've found a message (at lccb http://w6.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2001/Mar/msg00547.html) : lccb Tomcat follows the HTML standard, Hmm.., to me it looks like a browser issue, not Tomcat. Hence its a bit OT here, but still we have started the discussion :-) (again, as I have suggested before, Lima, you may want to spy your browser-tomcat traffic to make sure what bytes are transferred exactly, then you'll be sure who is mangling the data: Tomcat or browser, my feeling is that this is browser) lccb which explicitly declares that MIME type lccb application/x-www-form-urlencoded is suitable ONLY for transferring ASCII practice seems to be different lccb (but will of course work for ISO 8859-1 as well). look, it's already funny: according to the standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded is suitable ONLY for transferring ASCII but according to this message the existing software will of course work for ISO 8859-1 did you enjoy this of course? ;-) lccb See lccb http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 lccb It says: lccb The content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded is inefficient lccb for sending large quantities of binary data or text containing non-ASCII lccb characters. The content type multipart/form-data should be used for lccb submitting forms that contain files, non-ASCII data, and binary data. Yup, but in practice I beleive that we have succeded many times to send cyrillics this way. The browser was running on Windows however. All the browsers (huh, do I remember it correctly?) were using windows-1251 and koi8-r when the page was encoded with the respective encoding). lccb SO : Red Hat Linux 9 I assume, both browser and Tomcat, right? lccb Browsers : Galeon e Mozilla lccb Reg. Settings: English lccb Keyboard Set.: English (internacional) lccb Locale : Not modified. The JVM is using [us,EN], i think. But thats lccb ok because i prefer to test my application without change lccb locale to [pt,BR] (we never know when 2 webapp will run using differents lccb locale settings) what language are you typing in? what kind of characters get mungled? lccb ((3)) I don't know why page contentType + form enctype multipart is lccb the only working combination but its ok for me.

Re: Running JSP....new to Tomcat 5.0
Urm, there is almost nothing in common between setting up Tomcat 3.x and setting up Tomcat 5.x (except that the name of the 'server.xml' file has stayed the same ;-). Almost all of the directories have changed (with the exceptions of 'conf' and 'webapps'), the syntax of 'server.xml' is completely different, if you are using app-context.xml files the location has changed as well as the content. My advice is to go to http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/index.html and re-learn how to setup Tomcat as though you never knew how to setup Tomcat 3.x.
