RE: why is tomcat-users.xml rewritten ?

[Dale, Matt]

1. I think that Yoav explained that in unix this function actually will change the 
file permissions as part of its test.

2. This may be a good idea but it also means that the test will occur more than once, 
perhaps frequently for a heavy user of the admin app, lending to an overhead, however 
small.

Subject: Re: why is tomcat-users.xml rewritten ?


I've just searched the archives and it seems that this question
comes up every few months at least.  The behavior of rewriting
tomcat-users.xml and changing its permissions to match the
Tomcat umask surprises enough people that it seems worth
changing if possible.  I put a lot of faith in "the principal of
least astonishment".

My understanding is that the only reason for the rewrite is to
confirm that the Tomcat admin app will have write access
to the tomcat-users.xml file if the admin app is ever used.

Two questions:

1.  Why not use java.io.File.canWrite()?  It confirms the ability
 to rewrite the file without actually doing so.  Works fine
 on both Linux and Windows 2000, so I assume it is a
 fully portable solution.

2.  Couldn't the rewrite be deferred until necessary?  Perhaps
 when the admin app accepts a valid login?  Or when a user
 tries to use the admin app to modify the tomcat-users.xml file?
 Why check so far in advance?  There is always the risk that
 the permissions could be modified manually after the check
 at startup, and before the admin app actually needs to write,
 so the admin app must be prepared for failure anyhow.  Why
 not just have it check when it needs to and report the error to
 the user then?

Permission problem

[Lorenzo Medici]

Hi list

We have ported a web-application from a windows base tomcat installation to
a macosX 10.3.4 (java 1.4.2 tomcat v. ) installation. Under mac os we have
now a strange behabiour...

When we create a instace of a JEditorPane we run into the error
"...internalError  Can't connect to window server Not enougth permissions."
We need this JEditorPane for detect how many characters is in a RTF File...

Does anybody encountered the same problem? We suppse this must be a
installation problem but we really didn't know where we have to "screw".

Best thanks for any hints

JAASRealm & reference to JAAS Subject

[KoflerI.external]

Hi!

I'm using the Tomcat 5 JAASRealm for authenticating users with my own
LoginModule. In my LoginModule I am populating the Subject object
delivered by the Realm with Principals, Role Principals and Credentials.


The authentication and the mapping of my user defined roles to tomcat
roles work fine, but how can I get a reference to the Subject object in
my servlets, JSPs etc. I need them to access the credentials added by my
LoginModule.

please help, thanks

Tomcat 5.0.28 broken character encoding handling

[Krzysztof Cieniuch]

Hi,
Could someone clearly explain me
how exactly tomcat 5.0.28 handles
character encodings in requests.
Especialy I'm interested in method POST character handling.
Recently I've posted question about that
but didn't get answer so i did
little more investigation
and tested tomcat 5.0.28 with jdk 1.4.2_05,1.4.2_04
1.4.0_04,1.4.1_07 tried to write all pages in UTF-8
set meta header content-type to UTF-8
set encodiong UTF-8 in jsp <%page %> tag
then pass -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 jvm in startup parameters
nothing helps, also tested this configuration under linux
with LANG set to pl_PL (ISO-8859-2) results are the same
I've downloaded tomcat 4.1.30 did the same test no difference
did the same test with ISO-8859-2 encoding also without success
It seems that whatever I do tomcat always encodes/decodes charcters
returned from browser in ISO-8859-1 even if they are in body part of request
(I use method POST in my forms).
searched google like maniac read couple hundrets of posts.
I realy don't understand why this is so hard to set character encoding
corectly.
In some post i've read that iso8859-1 character encoding was hardcoded into
tomcat 4.1.29
Is this realy true ?
do i realy always must write:
new
String(request.getParameter("parameter_name")).getBytes(ISO-8859-1),"whateve
r_encoding_i_need").

PS. OT: Thinking about switching to Jetty or with this web container also
are such problems ?

Re: Tomcat vs BEA Weblogic?

[Tim Funk]

If you are only using a servlet/jsp container. Ditch weblogic right now. Look 
at resin, servletexec, jetty, or any other (much cheaper) servlet container.

I had a bad experience with weblogic:
- I would provide bugs with cases to them and their support would take 
forever to understand the issue.
- Their compliance to the servlet and JSP spec is comparable to Microsoft's 
IE. (Just because it looks right and runs right - doesn't mean compliance)
- Converting to tomcat was an undertaking because the site originally coded 
by a consulting firm which knew buzzwords, but not coding.
- We had massive stability issues with the site. (It was as stable as a 4 
year old running on the beach on a windy day carrying a giant beach ball) 
They recommended a firm and with a straight face - the firm recommended that 
they recode the entire site (offshore) for an incredible price tag.  (And 4 
months of frozen dev time)

After switching to tomcat + apache over 2 years ago, I can count on one hand 
 the number of times we had unexpected outages due to tomcat's bugs. (Which 
were easily diagnosed and fixed(worked around) since we had the source)

The site was also significantly faster after the move.
In summary - I'm kind of jaded against weblogic.

So I was just wondering, is it worth it? Or is Tomcat as good as WL or 
maybe better? Does WL have features that is missing in Tomcat? When the 
time comes to use EJB, is JBoss as good as/better than WL?

So basically, I would like some advice on why I should/shouldn't 
continue with Weblogic? :)

Re: Tomcat 4.1.23

Use a servlet that loads the xml data from a file pointed by "web.xml" 
or even better, use servlets parameters to load your data (if you can 
control the generation of the xml file).

Simply remove the ROOT webapp by deleting its directory, and define your

Connections backup for modjk, all w's

[Michael Medwith]

I am really lost on this one, my application at work (running with
apache/tomcat/modjk) is locking up with all "W"s.  We have 5 new
solaris machines running tomcat and 5 more with apache (1 to 1
relationship).

The application seems to lock up on a regular basis.  The most useful
information to this point is our apache server-status which shows
hundreds of "W"'s  implying that we are writing responses back to
users.  The fact is none of these responses are supposed to be long
writes.

Has anyone ever filled up their apache queue with all "W"s?  What are
somethings to look into on this.

Some things that we have looked into that have resulted in no leads:

Connections to all databases are low in any,
No apparent network clogs on internal network,
Unable to reproduce under software load testing,

Anyone with any suggestions or more questions would be much
appreciated, we have been dealing with this for quite some time now
with no hope of a remedy in the near future.

RE: Tomcat vs BEA Weblogic?

[Shapira, Yoav]

Hi,
I would add a couple of minor points, as others have already covered the main ones.

You say you're only using Weblogic's JSP container.  Tomcat's JSP container (known as 
Jasper) is used not only by Tomcat, but by JBoss, JonAS, IBM's Websphere, and a number 
of other commercial products.  So by switching, you not only get a free solution (BEA 
is $ as others have noted), but one that's used by a huge customer base and with 
many support options.

As QM noted, there's no official professional services provider for Tomcat, or Apache 
in general.  The ASF cannot sanction such an "official" provider because of its legal 
formulation.  However, there are a number of support companies which will do Apache, 
Tomcat, and Jasper.  Some of them, such as Covalent, have an excellent track record, 
numerous Fortune 1000 customers, and 24x7 support.  That should be sufficient to CYA 
for management, which as someone mentioned is always a consideration.

RE: 505 Error in Tomcat 5.0

[Shapira, Yoav]

Hi,

>I am using Tomcat 5.0 and Struts 1.1.  I also use a Filter that zips
the
>requests and responses.

First step: ditch your own filter and use one of the freely available,
well-tested ones.  Tomcat ships with one, in the servlet example webapp,
called CompressionFilter.  This way we eliminate the possibility of bugs
in your filter.

Alternatively, and even simpler: ditch the Filter altogether for
testing.  I imagine with a chat client the pages aren't that big
anyways, so the performance gained from compression is negligible.  You
can benchmark this if you want.

>gets 505 messages.

Are they really 505's, or more common 500's?  Do you have the
AccessLogValve enabled?  If not, enable it and see what it says when she
gets the errors.

If the user has the 'show friendly http error message' option enabled in
IE, ask her to disable this option.  This will aid in your debugging.

>What do you think?

Recreate the errors in a test environment if you can.  It sounds like
that won't be easy to do given the type of error.  If your app supports
different browsers, and the user is willing to try a different browser,
that's a good thing to test as well.

As an aside, please wait a bit longer before cross-posting to tomcat-dev
;)  Many of us tomcat-dev people like to take weekends off ;)

Out of interest is there any reason why you aren't using JK2? Have you tried it? This 
was designed for Apache 2 so may work better. I'm sure this isn't relevant but it 
might be worth a shot.

To be honest, I have a feeling its something code/network related

I use the term support loosely when talking about covalent.  They are

Then your path doesn't include the current directory. Try either
".\catalina.bat run" (in the bin directory) or, having checked that
your CATALINA_HOME environment variable's set properly, you can try
"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat run" which should work from any
directory.

BTW, did you install from an .exe? If so, I'd recommend uninstalling
that, and re-installing from a tar/zip version (in a directory with
no spaces in the path names). That's what I do with each new release

RE: Connections backup for modjk, all w's

[Dale, Matt]

Then personally the things i'd look at would be a thread dump of tomcat to find out if 
some of the requests are hung, look for bad loops or bits of code that might wait and 
therefore not freeing up the response. A profiler may help here but you'd have to 
profile the live app if you are unable to replicate this outside your live environment.

Perhaps the app is using more memory than is required and spending too much time in 
garbage collection causing the connections to back up. You can monitor this in a 
profiler and a more visual representation with jvmstat from sun.

Apache logs and catalina.out are often full of useful error messages but it doesnt 
sound like you have a specific error here.

Thanks for the input we are in the process of getting a Profiler
purchased but the time to get it into production will be a couple of
months unless we can speed up the paperwork.  As for garbage
collection I will look into that is there a happy medium for memory
usage... these boxes are huge with lots of memory (several GB) and
multi processors per box


Someone at work recently thought it could be garbage collection
kicking in as well... is there something I can do before the profilers
are installed, maybe a core dump?

RE: Connections backup for modjk, all w's

[Dale, Matt]

As I mentioned you can get a thread dump by issuing a kill -SIGQUIT to the java 
process. Its probably not that pretty and I don't know of any tools to make it more 
readable but i'm sure there are some.

Jvmstat is a free tool provided by sun which hooks into your jvm and gives a graph of 
the time that your jvm spends during garbage collection. The standard collectors stop 
the whole jvm during the collection so obviously you want it to spend as little time 
as possible in this phase. I've put a couple of links for some articles i've found 
useful in the past below.

http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/turbo/
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/GCPortal/ReadMe_Solaris.html

Good luck
Matt

Thanks for the input we are in the process of getting a Profiler
purchased but the time to get it into production will be a couple of
months unless we can speed up the paperwork.  As for garbage
collection I will look into that is there a happy medium for memory
usage... these boxes are huge with lots of memory (several GB) and
multi processors per box


Someone at work recently thought it could be garbage collection
kicking in as well... is there something I can do before the profilers
are installed, maybe a core dump?

Tomcat QueryString Encoding/Decoding Issue

[koney krishna]

I am struck up with getQueryString() method in HTTPServletResponse?

I have a query String which is UTF-8 based ; 

ex:
http://localhost:8080/test.html?user=H%C3%BC%C3%9F


When I use HTTPServeletRequest.getQueryString() I get a garbled QueryString.
I get H%C3%83%C2%BC%C3%83%C2%9F where as I should get it as 
H%C3%BC%C3%9F
Which UrlEncoding does getQueryString() ???

It looks like Tomcat is URLEncoding again the QueryString so I am getting garbled 
QueryString.
Is there anyway to get the raw Query_String than using getQueryString() in Tomcat ?

I have changed the Server.xml ( for setting URLEncoding="UTF-8" ) & web.xml ( to 
enable setCharacterEncoding = UTF8 )

Please help me !!

I am struck up with this error from last 2 weeks.

thanks

shutdown problems tomcat 5.0.28

[SSchattenberg]

I am running tomcat 5.0.28 on Redhat 9.0 with java 1.4.2_05.

Starting tomcat using startup.sh shows no errors in any of the log files.
The application is running fine.  However, when I use shutdown.sh, tomcat
hangs for a few minutes, prints the below message in catalina.out, and
finally exits.  Obviously, I can kill the process using the kill command
but I am afraid that this problem might be a symptom of a larger problem.

The server.xml file is the default that came with the release.  All JNDI
configurations are done in a separate context file that lives in
$TOMCAT/conf//Catalina/localhost/.

I have found some similar posts on the net but none seem to address my
problem sufficiently.  Any advice on how to debug this would be
appreciated.

Here is the Catalina.out error:

ROOT Problem

[e-Denton Subscriber]

Hi,

I set my context to use my app as the default app:



It does call my app with this URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/, but it also starts
up the app in /e-Denton. In other words, it is running both as the default
app and as its own app. What am I doing wrong?

Thx.

Hi,
You have autoDeploy enabled (this is the default).  Turn it off by
modifying the Host element in your server.xml.

RE: shutdown problems tomcat 5.0.28

[Shapira, Yoav]

Hi,
If you remove your separate JNDI configurations file, does the problem
go away?

Can you verify the shutdown socket (8005 by default) is open and
listening (use a program like netstat to do this)?

Have you tried setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL parameter that many Linux
users suggest on RedHat> (search the archives of this list for
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL) for details)

Another place to look is DNS -- can you ping your tomcat servers from
the apache server? Can you do the reverse? I mean by name not IP. Try
specifying IP to host relations in hosts/lmhosts.

I see I wasn't clear enough in my response.  autoDeploy is not the right
attribute for the Host for Tomcat 5.0.27.  Check the docs: you want
deployOnStartup set to false
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html).

RE: Tomcat 5.0.28 broken character encoding handling

[Mark Thomas]

> From: Krzysztof Cieniuch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
> Could someone clearly explain me
> how exactly tomcat 5.0.28 handles
> character encodings in requests.

This is not a trivial thing to explain. The short answer is "as the spec
requires".

If you are only interested in request parameters then the following will work (I
have tested this on a clean build of 5.0.x from CVS).

1. Make sure URIEncoding="UTF-8" is set on your connector. Be careful that you
set URIEncoding, not URLEncoding.

2. You can you the following test JSP (saved using default ASCII encoding).
<%@ page language="java" import="java.lang.*,java.util.*"
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>


  
UTF-8 Encoding
  
  
Text from JSP page (which is ASCII encoded).

  
  

Text obtained from parameter is:
<%
  request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
  String param = request.getParameter("anyText");
  out.println(param);
%>
  


I have pasted a range a weird and wonderful characters to this and they all
appear as expected.

> set meta header content-type to UTF-8
meta headers have no effect in tomcat.

> pass -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 jvm in startup parameters
Not necessary for the above test case. If you want to use UTF-8 text in your JSP
files things get a little more interesting. I haven't looked into this very
much.

> I've downloaded tomcat 4.1.30 did the same test no difference
The TC4.1.x branch will also work using the example above

> I realy don't understand why this is so hard to set character encoding
> corectly.
Again, the short answer is because the early internet technologies didn't handle
this at all. Support for this has been added subsequently whilst retaining
backwards compatability and hence the complexities. The moral here is if you
don't want your application to get into the same mess, design it for i18n from
the start and test it carefully.

> In some post i've read that iso8859-1 character encoding was

It was in the early 4.1.x releases. It was fixed somewhere between 4.1.24 and
4.1.30 but I can't remember (and don't really have the time to search the CVS
changelog / mail archives to find out exactly when)

RE: Application-level security

[Ghanakota, Vishu]

Hi,
This is an old issue, but have a small twist in the requirements that I need
to satisfy and that can't be done using the solution outlined in the
following article. I am just wondering if things have changed in tha past
one year. Also, I apologize for the cross-post, but I thought it was
relevant.
Here is my scenario.
I want to expose my Struts based site to our recently added business
partners, either a web service or like a "portlet". And of course, I need to
authenticate them and authorize the resource against their role.  I want to
be able to take the "j_username","j_password" and accomplish everything in
one call other than asking them to authenticate as a "side-effect" of
requesting a resource? My quick and dirty solution was to make an internal
http request and deal with authentication and send the "extracted" response
back. 


I had tough time making my manager understand why it took a little longer
than it should have been, who gave "30 mts" as estimate to our customer to
accomplish this. I ended up taking an hour, including testing :-). 


Thank you,
Vishu

Chris,

The August 2003 Java Developer's Journal (vol 8 issue 8) has an
article you might want to take a look at:  "ActiveAuthentication -
Extending J2EE form-based authentication" by Thomas Beck;
.

Yes, logout is implemented by invalidating the session.

Since you provide the login module code you can do whatever is
required/desired after the user is authenticated before returning
control to the app server (Tomcat).

If you aren't familiar with JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization
Service) you should take a look at 
and  before deciding to
roll your own authentication/authorization layer.

As far as I am aware yes, as it would require tomcat to reparse the output of
any dynamically generated page to work out what meta headers had been added and
then what to do as a result of them.

Know of a group for JSP development?

[Justin Jaynes]

I realize this group is NOT for JSP development
questions.  Does anyone know of such a group?

I have exhausted my books in looking for answers and
would like to chat with other JSP developers.

My appreciation for all this list has already done for
me.

Hi,
This group is fine for JSP development.  Java.sun.com, Java Ranch,
JGuru, and some other Java sites also have active JSP forums.

a question or two

[Didier McGillis]

This site that I'm moving over to an Apache/Tomcat intergrated site has jsp 
and html pages intermingled, so when I move these over and sperate the jsp 
file from the html file I have to create a folder in the Tomcat folders that 
are named the same as the one in the html side?  Is that correct.

I'm not sure I get you here.  If all of the webapp data is within the
context's path (i.e. you could serve it all from a WAR file) then:
1/ set Apache's doc root to the Tomcat context path
2/ tell Apache to serve the static content and let Tomcat handle the
Java

A slight twist on #1, you could setup Apache with a separate document
root and copy all static content there.  This has the added benefit that
Java code never touches the web server (should you separate the web/app
servers) but will require some fancy script work if the app is not
organized by content, i.e.
{context}

+- jsp/
|
+- images/

... and so on.

help to deploy to dir other than webapps

[Wick, Daniel]

Hi.

I'm a newbie to the list!

I have a .war file that deploys fine if I put it into the default webapps
directory.  If I add this (below) xml file to the webapps directory
specifying a different spot than webapps, then it doesn't work.  It
partially deploys, but the app can't get some of it's init parameters/files
when it tries to load up.

I have:

my.xml  (put into my webapps directory)






I get:

A WEB-INF directory under /foo/my/work, but it doesn't unpack
everything in the WEB-INF directory. I just the lib and classes directories.
The file my servlet is looking for doesn't get there, or any of the other
directories in my war file (images, etc).

Like I said, it all works if I put the war into webapps.   Anyone know what
might be going wrong?

I'm on HP-UX 11.11 and using Tomcat 4.1 (distrib by HP).

Suggestion: A dedicated TOMCAT forum!

[nyhgan]

Dear all,
 
I would like to suggest the jakarta team to host a dedicated forum for all jakarta 
projects, especially the TOMCAT project.
 
Tomcat has evolved from 3.x to 5.5.x, capable of supporting the latest jsp and servlet 
specifications. It is time for Tomcat to rival against other commercial products. I 
believe that having an open discussion forum is the first step toward such a goal as 
it will attract a vast number of new users to the tomcat world.
 
 
nyhgan.

Re: Tomcat vs BEA Weblogic?

[Bjørn T Johansen]

So the conclusion would be that BEA isn't worth the cost...
And since I am used to using opensource, including Tomcat, then Tomcat seems to be the 
right way to go... (and maybe JBoss if we get that far...)

Thanks for your replies... :)

Hi,
I would add a couple of minor points, as others have already covered the main ones.
You say you're only using Weblogic's JSP container.  Tomcat's JSP container (known as 
Jasper) is used not only by Tomcat, but by JBoss, JonAS, IBM's Websphere, and a number 
of other commercial products.  So by switching, you not only get a free solution (BEA 
is $ as others have noted), but one that's used by a huge customer base and with 
many support options.
As QM noted, there's no official professional services provider for Tomcat, or Apache in 
general.  The ASF cannot sanction such an "official" provider because of its legal 
formulation.  However, there are a number of support companies which will do Apache, Tomcat, and 
Jasper.  Some of them, such as Covalent, have an excellent track record, numerous Fortune 1000 
customers, and 24x7 support.  That should be sufficient to CYA for management, which as someone 
mentioned is always a consideration.

Mysql JDBC Drivers: Use 2.x or 3.x?

[Chuck Carson]

I am starting to build an application using Tomcat 5.0x and am having problems getting 
the
connection pool setup. Should I be using the 3.x or 2.x Mysql drivers?

The 2 files I have downloaded are:
mysql-connector-java-2.0.14.tar.gz
mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga.tar.gz

I am currently trying to get it working with the 3.x driver and have copied it into
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. 

However, when I try my sample webapp out I get this following error in the 
logs/catalina.out file:
org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for 
connect URL
'null'
at 
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:780)

[Possibly Off Topic - sorry] Class Loading question

[Robert Bateman]

I have Tomcat 5.0.25 loaded on a test server where I'm attempting to build a 
web service.  I'm using Axis to handle the SOAP interractions.

So far, I've been able to get Axis to load.  But it seems that Axis is 
attempting to load a module that I'm responsible for in order to process the 
incomming SOAP message in it's SerializerFactory.  All well and good.  Except 
that Axis is bubbling up a call to my module named 
com.sequoiallc.services.RegisterUser.MortgageCompanyType.

I've tried placing the .class file for this module in my WEB-INF/classes 
folder (no luck, class not found.)  I've also tried building a .jar file with 
this class file and all other classes that are part of the web service and 
placing that in WEB-INF/lib.  Again, no luck (class not found).

In the scheme of things, when running Tomcat 5.0.xx *with* -security, do I 
need to grant permission to the jar file that I've created?  Tomcat is 
finding all of the other .jar files that Axis uses within WEB-INF/lib of my 
.war file - so I would think my .jar file would be located too.

Thoughts?


Thanks much!

Bob

we are using a combination of 3.0.8-stable and 3.0.14-production on our

What connect string are you using?

We are also looking to migrate all our apps from weblogic to tomcat. When you look at 
the "real
world" TCO, tomcat is defintely the way to go. If you need better performance just 
scale out
behind an IP load balancer or use Tomcat clustering.

Our main reason was BEA's Nazi licensing practices, development license costs, support 
costs,
etc We are now down to only 1 app that use EJB's and it is getting ready to be 
decommisioned.

I am also damn impressed in how far the Tomcat project has come in the recent years. 
Support for
tomcat is as good if not better than BEA's support for weblogic, it best of all it's 
free.

As far as JBoss goes, I heard a nasty rumor that JBoss might not be around much longer.

I am basically just trying to setup a connection pool as in the documentaion. I am 
relatively new
to java but have several years of C/C++. I am also a System Engineer during the day, 
but I am
writing a network mangement app for my company and decided to go with tomcat/java. So 
I am a bit
rusty on the nitty-gritty of the app server setup.

First, here is my server.xml (sorry long)


  
  
  




  
factory
org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory
  
  
pathname
conf/tomcat-users.xml
  


  
factory
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory
  
  
validationQuery
SELECT * FROM TEST_USER
  
  
maxWait
5000
  
  
maxActive
4
  
  
password
c4milez
  
  
url
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tomcat-test1?autoReconnect=true
  
  
driverClassName
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
  
  
maxIdle
2
  
  
username
tomcat5
  

  
  





  

  
  
  

  


And here is my webapps/testapp1/WEB-INF/web.xml file:



  Test App 1

  
DB Connection
jdbc/MysqlTest1
javax.sql.DataSource
Container
  



I created the DataSource using the Admin app within Tomcat but then I noticed it did 
not add a
factory line as in the docs, so I added this by hand and restarted tomcat:
  
factory
org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory
  

Here is a simple class I am using to test with:
package chuck;

import javax.naming.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import java.sql.*;

public class DBTest1
{
String foo = "Not Connected";
int bar = -1;

public void init() {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if (ctx == null)
throw new Exception("Error: No context.");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) 
ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MysqlTest1");

if (ds != null) {
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

if (conn != null) {
foo = "Database connection established: " +
conn.toString();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from
TEST_USER");
if (rs.next()) {
foo = rs.getString(2);
bar = rs.getInt(1);
}
conn.close();
}
}
 } catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 }
}

public String getFoo() { return foo; }
public int getBar() { return bar; }
}

Any suggestions?
Thx,
rhugga

classpath with a service help

[John MccLain]

Howdy,
I wish to deploy Tomct5.0.28 along with a webapp. I want to be able to
insure that Tomcat is deployed as a service, uses the standard classpath AND
1 more classpath entry. How can I set up the Tomcat windows installer to
setup Tomcat as a service and include a specific directory on the classpath?
Do I simply change ...tomcat/bin/service.bat (is that all that the installer
runs)? if so, then how? I would prefer to not haveto have clients manually
configuring classpath's for windows services.

Tomcat 4.x or 5.0x???

[Chuck Carson]

I am somewhat new to java development (although I have been writing C/C++ for 10+ yrs) 
and am
writing a network mangement app and decided to use java/tomcat. Just a question: Would 
I be better
off using 4.x or should I use 5.0x? The app I am writing will not likely be ready for 
at least a
year so I kinda want to use the latest possible stable version so I'm still pretty up 
to date 1
year from now. I want to use j2se 1.4.2 and support Mysql, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. 
(This app is
currently for proprietary use in my company but I may spin it off into a open-source 
project at a
later date, thus I want to support those 3 RDBMS's)  My OS is currently Solaris 9 but 
might
eventually be either SuSE or Fedora using the 2.6 kernel. 

My current plans don't call for anything fancy, but not sure what roadblocks I will 
encounter
along the way and what work-arounds I will need. So I would like to select the best 
possible app
server version now and roll with it.

Thx,
rhugga

I think you need to move your connection pooling over to your context.xml at 
the web application level.  Here is my pool definition from one of my apps:





url
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Sequoia_Admin?autoReconnect=true,maxReconnects=3
 



username
x


password




maxActive
100



maxWait
15000



validationQuery
SELECT version()



testOnBorrow
true


driverClassName
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver



maxIdle
100


removeAbandoned
true



removeAbandonedTimeout
60


logAbandoned
true




it may not be perfect, but it works on our end.


Hope that helps!

Bob

Tomcat (and most other web containers) don't use the classpath as set as
an environment variable or on the commandline.  They use

1/ the JARs in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib and bare class files in
WEB-INF/classes

2/ some container-specific hierarchy of classloaders, usually in a
chain-of-responsibility pattern.  Tomcat uses
{Tomcat install}/common/lib
{Tomcat install}/common/classes
{Tomcat install}/shared/lib
{Tomcat install}/shared/classes
{Tomcat install}/server/lib
{Tomcat install}/server/classes

(though probably not in that order ;)

Long story short: if you use the container's (and the spec's) method of
making classes available, there should be no need to set a classpath.
Make your "one other entry" available in one of the places mentioned
above.

Re: Tomcat 4.x or 5.0x???

A year is a long time =)

1/ the "latest" Tomcat is v5.5, but that's still in alpha (or beta?) so
you probably don't want to use that if you're writing an app anew

2/ Tomcat 5.0 is stable and fairly modern (servlet spec 2.4/ JSP 2.0).

A safe bet would be to use 5.0 for now, but keep an eye on 5.5 (and
whatever else comes out in the next year).

Generally speaking, as long as you keep an eye on the relevant J2EE
specs and don't code to container-specific features, migration between
containers/versions is straightforward.

Simple server.xml config question... AJP13 Connector vs. CoyoteConnector

[Montz, James C. (James Tower)]

Are these 2 Connector's mutually exclusive and/or redundant in the same
server.xml?
...



...




I have also seen variations of these documented in books & online;



And




What should the proper configuration of connector's be for Apache 2.0
Front Ending Tomcat 4.1 using mod_jk2?
Could someone explain what the differences between the different classes
are (org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector,
org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector)?

My original understanding was that Coyote is basically a stand alone
HTTP Server for Tomcat, and Ajp13Connector handled the inter process
communication for Apache to Tomcat.


Thanks,

James

JAASRealm / ClassCastException

[Rene Paulokat]

hello,
since a couple days i try to increase my understanding of JAASRealm.
but this ongoing classcastexceptions do give me a hard time...

tomcat 5.0.28

my goal is to authenticate users via servlet (FORM).
so i tried this;

[LoginServlet]:
 
 MyCallbackHandler handler = new MyCallbackHandler(name,password);
 LoginContext context = new LoginContext("ModulName", handler);
 context.login();


which results in that wellknown cce, as soon as my modul in its
login-method wants to retrieve 'MyCallbackHandler'

[AuthModul]:
...

 public boolean login() throws LoginException {
   ...
   MyCallBackHandler handler = (MyCallBackHandler) this.handler;
   // right here the cce is thrown
   ...
...

so my thinking melts down to the following:
i would like to keep all classes below WEB-INF and dont want to touch 
$CATALINA_HOME/server/lib or - /common/lib

but where to put the custom AuthenticationModule, Handler, Principals
if this results in the reported loader-issue

the changelog for 5.0.28 mentions that u can define in your Realm-definition,
if the Auth-Module should be loaded by your context-classloader.
useContextClassLoader="true" //default

but even if i set it to false, its still loaded by the webappclassloader
AuthModule/MyCallbackhandler loaded by  WebAppClassloader, 
LoginContext / SecureCallbackhandler loaded by 'null' 

can anybody point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance

rene

It was the Director of PR for JBoss as of about 5 months ago. We were trying to buy the

Gary but I
will have to dig thru my contact to be sure. Also, I don't think he was a JBoss 
employee but a
consultant for them.

Just what I heard. I know the product is good, I just got the impression they were 
having
political problems... Our developers really like it.

Im just relaying what this guy told me. Obviously jboss would not disappear, just 
whatever
'entity' this was in Georgia I believe is where they were located. We tried contacting 
them when
we were first looking into moving from weblogic. This was also several months ago so 
alot could
have happened in that time.

I think the guy said some of the head guys were butting heads and that sort of stuff. 
I have the
contact info somewhere. I wanna say it was a guy named Gary but not 100%.

loading dll's from webapp

[John MccLain]

Howdy,
When I Kick off Tomct as a service (from windows service mgr.), it fails
loading my context because
I am trying to loadLibrary a few DLL's in a context startup listener. It
can't seem to find the DLL's, HOWEVER, my system path points to their
directory - and, when I start tomcat from Eclipse, using the sysdeo plugin,
it works fine. How can
I get the service to use the system path to find my DLL files ???

if you are really into loadbalancers, get www.loadbalancer.org (its open

obviously, buying your own hardware can be cheaper.

DNS round robin over 2 or more load balancers over the cluster would be 1

There are numerous open source load balancers, I use and like Pen.

war file not deleted on an undeploy

[Richard Clayton]

I've run into a problem running Tomcat 5.0.24 and later on Windows XP
(Service Pack 2). When I deploy a web app as a war file using the Tomcat Web
Application Manager, the web app works as expected. However when I then use
the Undeploy link on the Tomcat Web Application Manager page, the web app is
undeployed, the directory under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps is removed, but the
war file remains. That keeps me from easily redeploying the web app through
the manager interface. The only way to remove the war file is to shutdown
Tomcat.

 

I am running a fresh install of Tomcat with the default settings and have
tried this with numerous web apps, some simple, some complex.

 

When I try this on any version of Tomcat 5.0.x up to Tomcat 5.0.19, the war
file is deleted on an undeploy (i.e., normal behavior).

 

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is this a bug in Tomcat or an issue
with Windows? Are there any configuration settings in Tomcat one can use to
work around this problem?

 

Bug #28262 in Bugzilla seems to address an issue close to this.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,

Richard Clayton

Since it comes from apache I would bet the documentation is probably better

Tomcat Hanging...

[Ercan, Tolga]

I'm currently trying to deploy tomcat and we're having a problem with
tomcat appearing to hang.  Here's the environment:

 

Apache 1.3.19

Mod_jk

Tomcat 5.0.27

 

We have 5 apache servers, connecting to 2 tomcat workers via mod_jk.
These tomcat workers are load balanced via JK, and we've clustered the
two instances.  What we're seeing is the environment work for about 5
minutes. During that time, the number of open connections to either
tomcat instance steadily increases to 250+.  When we reach that
threshold, mod_jk log starts to report the following errors for both
workers:

 

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:00 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (1024)]: Error connecting
to the Tomcat process.

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:00 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (1468)]: sending request to
tomcat failed in send loop. err=1

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:21 2004]  [jk_connect.c (188)]: jk_open_socket,
connect() failed errno = 145

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:21 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (720)]: Error connecting to
tomcat. Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong
host/port (xx.xx.xx.xx:8030). Failed errno = 145

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:21 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (1024)]: Error connecting
to the Tomcat process.

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:21 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (1468)]: sending request to
tomcat failed in send loop. err=2

[Fri Sep 10 16:43:21 2004]  [jk_ajp_common.c (1477)]: Error connecting
to tomcat. Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong
port. worker=worker1 failed errno = 145

 

The tomcat servers (worker1, worker2) are both up, and listening on port
8030 but at this point, the application appears to hang.  My questions
are:

 

1)  Should there be this many open connections?  Is having this many
connections open create problems communicating with tomcat?

2)  Is this a known issue? I haven't seen anyone else report the
problem, so I'm assuming no...

3)  Is this a tomcat performance issue?  What are the performance
limitations of tomcat?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree in thinking
this is a tomcat performance issue?

 

Thanks!

Re: Suggestion: A dedicated TOMCAT forum!

[nyhgan]

Hi,
 
I didn't know that there is already a TOMCAT forum.  It is sad to see that the 
activity is so low there. Maybe that is because no one knows about its existence. I 
hope the tomcat team can publish the forum url in the release note and also on the 
tomcat website. 
 
thanks!

[Suresh Akula]

Hi
I have downloaded and installed Tomcat 5.0.27 version onto C:\Tomcat and set 
the ENV variable
CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME and also included all the jars available in 
C:\Tomcat\Common\lib folder in the classpath. But when i go to command 
prompt C:\Tomcat\bin and execute startup.bat a black window comes up and 
disappears but my server never starts.On the command window where i executed 
startup there appears 4 lines as follows
Using CATALINA_BASE:   C:\Tomca
Using CATALINA_HOME:   C:\Tomca
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Tomca
Using JAVA_HOME:   C:\Java
but am not able to start the server
Can anyone please help me on this.

Thanks

Do the jars I use affect webapp reloadability?

[Anthony E. Carlos]

Hello,
I'm experiencing a memory problem that is documented in 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/deployment.html at the bottom. 
When I redeploy a web app, a 12MB chunk of memory gets taken by the 
JVM. After a few redeployments, I get an OutOfMemory error. The faq 
mentioned above blames it on the Classloader not being able to be 
recycled. I know that I can increase the size of the memory, but that 
isn't the real solution because eventually I'm going to have to restart 
Tomcat to reclaim the lost memory.

My question is, do the jars I'm using affect the reloadability of a web 
app so that the Classloader cannot be recycled? I suspect this because 
as soon as I add a few jars to my apps, I start experiencing this 
phenomenon. I have a suspicion that it is OJB or the Oracle JDBC 
drivers, but I don't have any empirical data. Do you know of any jars 
that specifically cause this? Is there anything that can be done to 
ensure that the Classloader can be recycled (thus allowing me to 
redeploy web apps without wasting memory)?

Thanks,
-Anthony Carlos

What OS are you running?  Windows?

Have you checked the logs?  They're under:

Re: Suggestion: A dedicated TOMCAT forum!

[muss]

Hi Suresh,

Just by looking at your startup output it seems to be that you have set
your environment variable CATALINA_HOME to C:\Tomca and NOT C:\Tomcat as
it should be. Also ensure that your SDK installation exists in C:\Java as
this is what your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to. Try doing this
and re-run your server and in theory you shouldn't have any problems.

Kindest Regards,
Matt Anderson

real world deployment with multiple virtual hosts

[Anthony E. Carlos]

Hello,
I've configured Tomcat with multiple virtual hosts. However, because of 
ever-increasing memory usage, (see 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/deployment.html at the bottom), I 
often have to restart Tomcat. Thus a dozen or so sites all go down for 
a minute or two while each of them reloads.

My question is, what are people doing to avoid this problem? Are people 
generally running an individual instance of Tomcat for each virtual 
host? This would isolate each host and thus prevent the problem I'm 
having, but it seems like an awful waste of resources especially 
compared to Apache.

Or, is there a way to restart just one virtual host?
Thanks for your help,
-Anthony Carlos
