AW: AW: certificate question for 2 domains pointing to same website

2005-02-05 Thread Steffen Heil
Hi

 Wait a second...Tomcat will determine which cert to send down 
 based upon the IP address that the browser went to?  I guess 
 that makes sense...so does the web server never get to see 
 what domain the browser was looking up to come to the site, 
 or is that info available?

That info is available, but already encrypted.

 I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to run the 
 website for a limited time with 2 domains and 2 certs--I 
 mean, the 2 domains, each with their own cert, but with one 
 single public IP address.

One single public IP will NOT work. Forget it.

 We have a bigIP load balancer in 
 front of our Tomcat servers...so do our Tomcat servers still 
 see the public IP address that was used to reach them?

I think not, but I dunno.

 I ask 
 because those boxes only have private IPs, and the load 
 balancer has the only public IP.  
 
 If there's no way to do it, then I guess we just arbitrarily 
 switch at some point and don't worry about the people using 
 the old domain seeing invalid certificate messages...

You'll need to.

What happens with https is:

a) The client get's the ip for the domain by dns lookup.
b) The client connects to that ip and immediately get's the server's cert.
c) The client encrypts the page request (including headers and a one time
key) and sends this encryped.
d) The server decrypts that request. (it know's the private key of the cert
sent in b.)
e) The server sends the response encrypted with the one time key of c.
f) The lcient decrypts the response. (it know's the one time key send in c.)

Basically the server sees the ip the client connects to and must supply a
cert.
Only after step d, when the server decrypted the request, it knows about the
domain name.
You see, no change to go with two certs.

HOWEVER, for x509 email-certs extensions where developed which allow more
then one address per cert.
Maybe there are extensions for Server-certs that allow more then one domain
name.
If you get two domain names in one cert, you shoud be ready to go.

Additionally newer versions of SSL/TLS support other kinds of authentication
algorithms that are designed to allow more then one cert per ip. Exspecially
they transmit domain names before they transmit the cert.

Regards,
  Steffen

Re: Problem in war deployment

Hi Doug!
I think eilnet.xml IS the context.xml file you mentioned!
To Manoj: As Dough said, try the following:
1) Remove eilnet.xml from .../conf/{engine}/manoj.eilnet.effectsoft.local
2) Rename eilnet.xml to context.xml
3) Put it into your war-file (into the manifest directory)
Make sure context.xml is configured correctly and that your context is 
not configured twice (e.g. in server.xml)!

Best regards,

If you find it is then Tomcat is trying to deploy it twice. There are

Post the eilnet.xml and the context.xml(if exists). Also post the

Sounds like Tomcat is trying to deploy the app from the war file but

Re: Tomcat 5.5.4/Windows 2000 server - Failed to register in JMX: BasicDataSourceFactory

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi Greg, hi David!
Sure, there is anoter factory you could use: The tomcat-built-in 
datasource factory. Unfortunately I do not know the classname of this 
factory, but I think it is somewhere in the library 
naming-factory-dbcp.jar which is located in common/lib.
(The Tomcat-guys didn't want to add the complete jakarta-commons-pool 
and jakarta-commons-dbcp libraries because most of the classes inside 
these libraries are not needed by tomcat. So they extracted the required 
classes only and repacked them thogether with some other classes into 
naming-factory-dbcp.jar. To avoid confusions and errors, they also 
modified the package names - thats why you get a ClassNotFoundException 
when you configure the JNDI-context to use the 
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory).
But I'm not sure if it is a good idea to extend one of those 
tomcat-internal datasource factories! This would REALLY tie your code 
close to tomcat!
Apart from that: If you implement/extend an existing DataSource factory, 
you have to put your implementation inside the common/classes directory 
- otherwise tomcat won't find it when it initializes the JNDI-context! 
So why not put the commons-pool and commons-dbcp jars into common/lib too?
So my suggestion: Extend BasicDataSourceFactory from commons-dbcp and 
put the two jars mentioned above into common/lib.

Best regards,
 Tex
Greg Guerin schrieb:
Hi David, Mario,
We actually specify the factory parameter because we extend the
BasicDataSourceFactory so we can encrypt passwords in the resource
definition.  My question is: Is there already a way to do that using another
factory I'm unaware of? It works fine, but we have to include the jars that
Mario mentioned and it'd be nice to not have to tie our code that close to
the container.

Hi David!
I think, you do not need to explicitely define a bean factory because Tomcat
5 automatically uses dbcp for JNDI-DataSources (I think tomcat looks at the
type of resource - in your case a javax.sql.DataSource - and uses the
tomcat-internal dbcp-factory). In my project, I've configured a
JNDI-DataSource using the Oracle thin driver and it works perfectly without
specifying a bean factory and without adding any special libraries to my
tomcat installation (apart from the oracle database driver which is in
commons/lib).
So try the following configuration:
Resource name=jdbc/as400 auth=Container
	type=javax.sql.DataSource
	maxActive=20 maxIdle=10 maxWait=-1
	removeAbandoned=true 
   removeAbandonedTimeout=60
   logAbandoned=true
   driverClassName=com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver

url=jdbc:as400://a53pb3;naming=system;libraries=,pgmdbt,caelib;errors=full
   username=userid 
   password=password
/

Again: You do not need any additional commons-libraries!

Hi!
How did you define your JDBC DataSource?
As far as I know, the original jakarta-commons-dbcp and 
jakarta-commons-pool-libraries are not included with Tomcat. Instead, 
just a subset of the required classes with modified package names 
(starting with 'org.apache.tomcat.dbcp') are packed in 
'naming-factory-dbcp.jar' that can be found in commons/lib.
But if you configure your JDBC DataSource correctly, this should not 
bother. Please post your resource-configuration!

 But my app starts up lightweight so I can schedule downtime a couple of
 hours or so in advance, then drop tomcat for a few minutes while I
 deploy manually. Maybe you could use the Manager: Stop the Service,
 undeploy, stop TC, start TC, deploy the service using the Manager, start
 service if necessary.

It is indeed difficult to guarantee that everything will be cleaned
up, unless the application is reasonably well written. In case of
issues like usage of the bean instrospector as mentioned above, some
explicit cleanup is required (now done automatically by Tomcat, but
this will only be in the next release). See the bug report for info on
workarounds.

Re: virtualhost and deployment applications

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
I think, there's something wrong with your context-definition or 
server.xml. Make sure each of your hosts have a webapplication base 
directory for their own!!! Do not use one single webapps-directory for 
all of your hosts!

My directory structure looks as follows:
somewhere/Tomcat/hosts/host/web-application
Inside server.xml, where the hosts are defined, each host's 
appBase-attribute points to the correspoding host-directory.

Apart from that: If your tomcat's auto-deploy feature is activated, you 
can deploy a web-application by simply copying the war file into your 
webapps-directory (or any other directory that you specified in server.xml).

Best regards,
 Tex

Reload webapp on runtime

Hei there,

I'm recompiling one of my classes during runtime, but the problem is that my

Is there any way to avoid this caching of the classes or to reload my webapp
or just this one recompiled class during runtime?

Diagnosing tomcat problems

2005-02-05 Thread wojtek
Hello

I'm running a tomcat 5.5.4 server with sun jdk1.5 update 1, on a RH enterprise
linux 3.0 (with 2.4.21 kernel).  The server processes about 20-30 requests per
second, most of which include a database query (to a postgresql DB).  The
configuration I'm using is:
JAVA_OPTS='-Dbuild.compiler.emacs=true -Xmx240m -Xms240m -Xmn60m -server
-XX:+UseParallelGC'
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
(the problems occur with or without the -XX:+UseParallelGC switch)

The problem I have is that approximately every 3 days the server stops
processing requests.  The only trace that is left in the logs is the following
exception (which seems to be totally non-related but for some reason always
occurs on such a hang):
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has
been committed
at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.doGetSession(Request.java:2190)
at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getSession(Request.java:2012)

And my automatic script for checking if the server is alive tries to restart it
(with shutdown -force), which doesn't work (it doesn't kill the server for some
reason and it keeps hogging the listen port and not processing requests) - so I
switched to 'killall -9 java'.

This does not seem to be a out-of-memory problem - I had those with tomcat 4.x,
java 1.4.2 and the same webapp - and after I moved to tomcat 5.5 and java 1.5
those problems ceased - so this suggests that the webapp is OK at least
memory-wise.  But now this one came up.

So I'm wondering how to diagnose this problem and figure out what is going
wrong.  The catalina.log files seem to be missing in tomcat 5.5 and that could
perhaps give me some more hints than the IllegalStateException from the
catalina.out logfile.

Can you give me some hints what this problem could be caused by?  Or perhaps
ideas how to figure out what is going wrong?

I've noticed in tomcat docs that I can list the worker threads using the
jmxproxy in the manager webapp - but I can't really decipher the output - maybe
that would give me some info on why it stops responding.  Maybe I'm the one
causing the problem - by some deadlock in my webapp stopping the threads one by
one (which is unlikely but possible).

I also diagnosed the webapp using sun's jvmstat, but that just showed that the
webapp is running fine and there is enough memory and GC is taking only a small
fraction of running time..

Thanks,
Wojtek

Finer Control than CATALINA_BASE

2005-02-05 Thread Joseph Toth
Is there a way to specify another $CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib ?
 
I found the -config /path/to/server.xml opt which is nice.  But I would
like to have more fine grain control over where everything is, not just
specifying a CATALINA_BASE.
 
Another quick question, can you specify another classpath instead of
WEB-INF/classes, that if it changes the app automatically gets reloaded?
 
Thanks for your help

HTTPS: more than one certificate

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
Just because I'm interested:
If I had more than one certificate in my keystore, which certificate 
would be used by tomcat for https? Is there a way to specify which 
certificate to use?

Thanks,

order of creation of JNDI datasource from context.xml and Filter.init() using it

2005-02-05 Thread Jeroen Kransen
Hello,
My problem is so basic that I have no doubt other people have
experienced it. Still, I can't find any solutions on the web.
I want Tomcat to provide my webapp with DataSources through JNDI. I want
Hibernate to use these DataSources. Nothing exciting so far. I
configured the BasicDataSourceFactory in the META-INF/context.xml like this:
   Resource name=jdbc/mydb
   auth=Container
   driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver
   factory=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory
   username=*
   password=*
   type=javax.sql.Datasource
   url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mywebapp
   scope=Shareable
   maxActive=10
   maxIdle=100
   maxWait=3000
   /
In the web.xml I put:
   filter
   filter-nameHibernateSessionFilter/filter-name
filter-classnl.kransen.mywebapp.context.HibernateSessionFilter/filter-class
   /filter
   filter-mapping
   filter-nameHibernateSessionFilter/filter-name
   url-pattern/*/url-pattern
   /filter-mapping
...
   resource-ref
   descriptionMy database/description
   res-ref-namejdbc/mydb/res-ref-name
   res-typejavax.sql.DataSource/res-type
   res-authContainer/res-auth
   /resource-ref
In the hibernate.cfg.xml I make a JNDI reference to the datasource:
hibernate-configuration
   session-factory
   property
name=connection.datasourcejava:comp/env/jdbc/mydb/property
   property
name=dialectnet.sf.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect/property
   property name=show_sqltrue/property

   mapping resource=hibernate-mappings/Noot.hbm.xml /
   mapping resource=hibernate-mappings/Mies.hbm.xml /
   /session-factory
/hibernate-configuration
Now I created a HibernateSessionFilter that will filter any request to
the webapp and provide it with a Hibernate Session. In the init() the
Hibernate SessionFactory is configured by doing a lookup on JNDI for a
DataSource.
My problem is that Hibernate can't find the JNDI datasource:
17:44:14,745 INFO  [nl.kransen.mywebapp.context.HibernateSessionFilter]
Failed to initialize Hibernate!
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not find datasource:
java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb
Instead, I  tried to put the Datasource in the GlobalNamingResources/
of the server.xml. In the context.xml I put:
 ResourceLink name=My Database
   global=jdbc/mydb
   type=javax.sql.Datasource /
The error I get then is:

Instead of initializing the Hibernate SessionFactory in the Filter's

get a similar error:

What I really want is the first solution with the JNDI datasource
declaration in the webapp context.xml, and preferably initialization of
Hibernate in the init() of the Filter. Is it possible that the reason
that it doesn't work is that the Filter is first created (and its init()
called) BEFORE the DatasourceFactory is created and bound to JNDI? If
that is the case, wouldn't it make more sense to turn that around? After
all, it's the CONTEXT.xml :-)
The second and third structures brought me closer, but why does the
Postgresql driver think that URL 'null' was passed, when I put a correct
URL in the config?
I hope anyone can help me.

Re: order of creation of JNDI datasource from context.xml and Filter.init() using it

2005-02-05 Thread Jacob Kjome
Try not specifying the factory parameter.  It isn't required anyway by 
Tomcat-5.5.x.  Tomcat-5.5.x uses its own version of commons-dbcp, so if you 
are specifying org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory, that is 
probably not the one that Tomcat wants to use internally.  I think they 
wrapped up the package into their own, such as maybe 
org.apache.tomcat.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory (this may not be 
exact, I just know it is something like this), to avoid version collisions 
with user-provided commons-dbcp jars.

Re: order of creation of JNDI datasource from context.xml and Filter.init() using it

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi Jeroen!
Two weeks ago I (almost) exactly did what you want to do - make 
hibernate use a JNDI-DataSource defined as a GlobalNamingResource! The 
differences: My database is Oracle and I didn't configure hibernate 
directly because I use the spring-framework in between.
I experienced problems similar than yours, but after cleaning out some 
old stuff it worked! Unfortunately, I do not know, what exactly the 
problem was, but I can give you some hints that may help you!

Assuming you use Tomcat 5.5, do the following
1) Skip the factory-attribute in your Resource-definition! It is not 
required because tomcat has a built-in connection pool and automatically 
uses it for JNDI-DataSources.
2) Define your JNDI-DataSource in the GlobalNamingContext
3) The resourcelink-element in meta-inf/context.xml must specify the 
name of the global resource (attribute global) AND the name, the 
resource should have when linked into the lokal JNDI-context (attribute 
name). This (internal) name must match the name specified in your 
hibernate config! I guess that's what you got wrong!

Your code:
ResourceLink name=My Database global=jdbc/mydb 
type=javax.sql.Datasource /
(You specified My Database as internal JNDI-name, but jdbc/mydb in 
hibernate.cfg.xml!!!)

Better:
ResourceLink name=jdbc/mydb global=jdbc/mydb 
type=javax.sql.Datasource /
(That matches the name you used in your hibernate.cfg.xml: 
java:env/jdbc/mydb)

4) Remove the context-definition file in conf/Engine/host. At 
deployment time, tomcat copies the context.xml file from the 
meta-inf-directory of your web-application into the 
conf/Engine/host-directory (and renames it to avoid conflicts).
5) The PostgreSQL-driver must be in common/lib. Make sure it is NOT in 
WEB-INF/lib too!

As I've said in top 3, I think the chief cause of your problem is the 
resourcelink-element!
(Apart from that: I've seen you wrote your own HibernateSessionFilter. I 
also did that first, but then I decided to use the 
OpenSessionInViewFilter from the spring-framework instead. It works 
great! I'm sure your filter-implementation is not the cause of your 
problems, but maybe the spring-framework is interesting to you!)

Best regards,
 Tex

Re: Finer Control than CATALINA_BASE

In tomcat 5 - look at conf/catalina.properties. You are allowed to add 
directories (or files) to the common, shared, and server classloaders.

As for WEB-INF/classes - that cannot be changed. But in tomcat 5.5  - there 
is a concept called watched resources which will tell tomcat what resources 
to look for timestamp changes in to signify a webapp needs reloaded.

Servlet not displaying correctly HTML output.

2005-02-05 Thread Arturo Koosau
Hello,
I have installed Apache 2.0.51
and tomcat 4.1.31 in my Fedora 2 server.
I'm using mod_jk2 to  connect Apache and Tomcat.

I have this web application that I have installed under the webapps
directory called: store.war

I've added the context descriptor in the server.xml and 
the application works fine if I use the 8080 port.  ie. 
http://localhost:8080/store
However when I try to run the application without specifying the
8080 port. ie.  http://localhost/store, the servlets do not display
the formatted HTML output, but rather the HTML output itself.

I've modified the workers2.properties file to reflect the new application.

Since I'm able to run the application under tomcat without any
problems.
I think my problem lies with the configuration of the
workers2.properties file, but I can't find much documentation
and I've tried to copy all the entries that I could find for the
examples webapp, but it still doesn't work.

If anyone knows what I'm missing,  please let me know.

These are the lines I appended to the end of the 
workers2.properties file:

[uri:/store/*]
info=Map the whole webapp

The rest of the file is the same as the default.

This is a copy of my output when I run the Cart servlet 
under tomcat ( port 8080 )

Current Cart Contents:
Fish1.99

This is a copy of the output when I run the Cart servlet
when I use Apache's port 80

DataSourceRealm says Name jdbc is not bound in this Context

2005-02-05 Thread Dan Washusen
Hi All,
I'm trying to get container managed authentication going under Tomcat
5.5 using the org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm class.  I've
configured a DataSource using the name jdbc/MindDB and I can access
that from within my app, but when the configured DataSourceRealm tries
to access it I get javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is
not bound in this Context.

My context.xml looks like this:
Context path=/mind 
docBase=D:/Development/Projects/mind/src/webapp 
debug=5 reloadable=true
Resource name=jdbc/MindDB auth=Container 
type=javax.sql.DataSource
maxActive=100 maxIdle=30 maxWait=1

dataSourceName=jdbc/MindDB
userTable=mind_user userNameCol=alias userCredCol=password
userRoleTable=mind_user_role roleNameCol=name/
/Context

And the relevant section of my web.xml looks like this:
...
resource-ref
descriptionMind DB Connection/description
res-ref-namejdbc/MindDB/res-ref-name
res-typejavax.sql.DataSource/res-type
res-authContainer/res-auth

I've also tried using the full name of java:/comp/env/jdbc/MindDB
that works in my code but that just changes my error to
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java: is not bound in this

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Re: Restart-On-Failure for Tomcat?

2005-02-05 Thread Paul
I would suggest either a process monitor or using cron to run script 
every minute or so that would use wget to get a test page and if it 
fails, restart tomcat.  I've been using the latter of the two with good 
success for a while.

Of course, I'm assuming your using Linux or the like, but if you're on 
Win then you can set the recovery options under services.

I'm not aware of anything inherent in Tomcat.

If this error persists, please send us any new D2#.txt and/or D2debug.txt 
files from the Diablo II folder on your hard drive.  This will allow us to 
better troubleshoot your problem.

Finally, you may have noticed that Diablo II causes the computer to work really 
hard. This is largely due to the many textures that are being used by the game 
at any given time, especially in 3D modes. Because of this, sometimes users who 
have this problem do not have trouble with any other programs. Sometimes this 
error will occur if your computer gets too hot, so anything you can do to lower 
the operating temperature of your computer might be useful. Lowering the clock 
speed will lower the operating temperature. You should also make sure that your 
processor is adequately cooled with a cooling fan and heatsink. Your processor 
manufacturer has specific recommendations for cooling fans for some of their 
chips.
