Re: Virtual Hosting with WAR files

[Darryl L. Miles]

in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml merge these settings:




 foo.com




 




 




 




Ensure the 3 sets of "webapps" and "work" directories are writable by 
the userid your JVM is running as.

http://foo.com/file1
http://foo.com/file2

This works perfectly for me. I want to change this to simple urls as

http://file1.foo.com

I have also read the notes on Virtual hosting:

Even though I am not able to configure Tomcat to connect to the war files 
as requested. How do I configure tomcat to connect to the correct war 
file as requested?


Any help will be appreciated.

Re: session problems: www.blahblah.com versus blahblah.com

[Peter Rossbach]

Hey Michael,

I look inside the tomcat source and find that we don't set the cookie 
hostname attribute.
That means that the calling client/browser must made the hostname 
handling. I also

thing the redirect way is currently right direction.

this behaviour seems reasonable to me...


What's the right thing to do to solve this?



it doesn't need solving, just accepting :-)

but assuming you want www.blahblah.com and blahblah.com
to behave (session-wise) like one domain, which they aren't,
you could redirect (client-side) from www.blahblah.com
(which IMHO is the redundant/obsolete/legacy domain) to
blahblah.com, which allocates sessions and dishes out cookies.

i.e. www.blahblah.com is a static site which just serves e.g.


  
<%= a.appTitle %>: redirection page
http://blahblah.com"; />
  
  http://blahblah.com')">

  


NB I haven't actually *tried* this :-)

First is it apache or tomcat that is returning the 500 ?

This might be easiest found setting up logging of your specific VHost in 
apache to a different file than the default apache logs (that are in 
apache/logs/).  Then breaking the ServerName and ServerAlias 
configuration in apache (restarting apache inbetween) and checking to 
see that the request you put through with say "wget" is being directed 
by apache to the correct Apache VHost logfile.


I would revise your JkMount to look like:

JkMount  /admin/*  ajp13Wkr

This will pass-thru apache everything for the webapp to TC.


I would also remove "inprocess" from the "worker.list" settings.



Once you have that established you can then work on your JkMount

I suspect your only remaining problem now is to get Apache and Tomcat to

Interesting question. Read it, I have.

It is not however clear to me as to whether or not TC _MUST_ have a 
_Different_ "VirtualHost Name" than the default VHost name in Apache or 
whether it should be the same. And then whether or not an Alias can or 
cannot be the same as some other name for that same machine.


Does this mean effectively there should be 3 different names for the

The "ServerName" directive in httpd.conf

effectively saying that the auto-conf file generated by TC is not up to 
the job and I should dump it in favour of manual inline config.

Assuming you have a Java virtual machine that runs on your system, the
Tomcat Java classes will run unchanged.  The 'virtual' in 'virtual
machine' means that compiled Java classes are insulated from the details
of the underlying machine - Tomcat runs unchanged on Windows, MacOS*,
and many flavours of UNIX.

I mean when you are stuck and don't know.  Somethings are easier to 
deliberatly break the configuration and observe the result (i.e. where 
the error shows up now).   Since you are trying to work out if the 500 
is being produced directly from Apache or is a response apache is just 
relaying that really came from Tomcat.  It smells like apache to me, but 
until you can prove it you wont really know.


You need to confirm that requests for the vhost are being correctly 
routed into the VirtualHost section of the apache config.  If they are 
not then there is no sense looking at the JkMount configuration yet.  So 
if you have logging setup in apache both in the global config 
/usr/local/apache/log/access_log and in the  section to 
/tmp/foobar/someother/file/access_log then depending upon which file the 
request gets logged will confirm to you that Apache is correctly 
configured and working for vhost operation and the  
section your JkMount's are in it indeed coming into play.




JkMount  /admin/*  ajp13Wkr

This will pass-thru apache everything for the webapp to TC.

Yes.  But in the situation you are in, setting up "/admin/*" should make 
Apache bounce the request off Tomcat if it was not table to serve the 
content itself.  I am not at all sure what the order of preceedence is 
with mixing "Alias", "JkMount" or if the file itself it found in the 
document root.


Once you have that established you can then work on your JkMount 
settings and Tomcat.  Have you checked out, understood and implement

The "ServerName" directive in httpd.conf

Different No.  The idea is that you can service some content via Apache 
directly (maybe this is also PHP or Perl) and other content via 
Apache+Tomcat.  Apache is always in control, if the request is not 
forwarded to Tomcat then you will see the usual Apache like responses (404).


So if you want to a single hostname in the URL then you need to 
configure both Apache (ServerName/ServerAlias) and Tomcat ( / 
) to responsd to the same hostname.



I suspect your only remaining problem now is to get Apache and Tomcat 
to see the same website document roots for the same URLs.  This maybe 
a problem if you are using deployed WARs since tomcat can and will

No...  I'm not saying that I have no idea your Apache configuration was 
auto-generated by TC.  I'm just offering you a methodoligy to observe 
some change in behaviour so you can work through the problem yourself.

Tomcat5 / war file deployment: symlink problem

[Alan Cooper]

I have a tomcat5 installation running on a RHEL ES3 box which I am 
having some issues with.


I have a symlink back to an images directory which is outside the 
context. This works fine and I can read the images etc.


The problem occurs when I redeploy the context through the manager 
webapp: when the context is removed. the removal script seems to follow 
the symlinks, thus deleting my images directory.


Any suggestions on how to avoid this?

AW: JspC compile exception in tomcat-deployer 5.5.10

[Bernhard Slominski]

Hi Richard,

the problem is that your classpath for the jasper path is not correct.
So this Null Pointer exception actually means that some class was not found.
Note that you need all the tomcat libraries in your jaser classpath, as well
as your libs as well.
I post you my script, which is working Ok (on Tomcat 5.5.7).

Cheers

Bernhard

Betreff: JspC compile exception in tomcat-deployer 5.5.10


Hello,

I am using the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.10-deployer to deploy my customized war
file to tomcat. When I have it do the "compile" target so it pre-compiles
the JSP's I get the exception below (its sort of long). I've got the source
and can see that it is happening as it processes the JSPs. But it gives no
clue as to which JSP is causing the problem.

Is there a way to turn on a trace that would list each file as it is
processed? I've also looked in the output directory - but there are not
class files at all. And the generated_web.xml is completely empty at this
point.

Here is how I've got the jasper2 task defined in my build.xml:
 

Notice that I turned validateXml to false - otherwise I get the following
message:
[jasper2] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document is invalid: no grammar
found.
I have compared and compared my web.xml to the spec and it seems to be OK.
It complains about position 9 in the 3rd line. Line 3 follows, position 9 is
the start of the "xmlns=" attribute:
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
version="2.4">
... which appears to be fine.

Any ideas or help is appreciated. I have tried this a few months back in
5.5.7 but got the same results (worked fine in 5.0.19). I imagine its a
problem either in one of my JSPs or in the web.xml - but cannot figure it
out.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

 - Richard

Re: 64 Bit Machines and Tomcat

[Ben Ricker]

The one caveat I have seen is when you use third-party software that
is compiled; chances are it was compiled with 32-bit system libraries
and will not take advantage of the 64-bit data structure. If you can,
spend the time compiling the third-paty software using 64-bit JDK.

howto configure JAAS+SSO

[Edmund Urbani]

hello!

I'm trying to configure two webapps (slide and jetspeed2) for 
single-sign-on in the same tomcat instance. Both apps use JAAS and come 
with their own JAAS login modules. Is it possible to configure these 
(any?) two apps to share login info with JAAS. I started reading the 
JAAS docs recently and I tried putting the two login modules into one 
JAAS login context, but that does not seem to work, because the login 
module classes won't instantiate properly due to dependencies to their 
respective webapps.


Can SSO be achieved without having the apps share one login context?
Will I have to write my own login module(s)?
Should I use a (completely) different approach to get SSO?

Thanks for any help/advice.

Re: session problems: www.blahblah.com versus blahblah.com

[Michael Teter]

I guess I was hoping there was some server-level redirect.

I'm not sure how I would put the meta redirect in all my pages.  My
app is a complicated mess (my fault - my lack of skill).

The issue is that my users are clicking a PayPal "Subscribe" button,
which sends them off to PayPal.  Part of the hidden information sent
to PayPal when the user clicks that button is the return path.

So if user comes to blahblah.com, clicks the Subscribe button it sends
them to PayPal with a return path of www.blahblah.com (because that's
what I'm telling PayPal to do.)  I'm thinking now I can just look at
the URL they're at now and set my PayPal return path dynamically... If
they're here as blahblah.com, I make sure to tell the PayPal form that
the return path is blahblah.com.  If www, then return to www...

Thanks for your suggestion though.  I can even continue using PayPal's
encrypted buttons - I'll just make two buttons, one for www, and
theother for just blahblah, and display the appropriate button based
on current situation.

Still, I think I was hoping that somewhere in server.xml I could say
"all requests for blahblah.com should be mapped to www.blahblah.com."

Thanks all.

RE: session problems: www.blahblah.com versus blahblah.com

[Dale, Matt]

I'm not sure if this is the only or best way but you could create virtual hosts 
within your server.xml, one for each domain. Then obviously your code will only 
exist in one of the domains and the other you can do the redirect stuff.

Re: session problems: www.blahblah.com versus blahblah.com

[David Smith]

I would imagine the other way to do this is to implement a filter
looking for people trying to reach blahblah.com and returning a 302
redirect to www.blahblah.com.  That would give them all the proper
cookie from the start and could be implemented accross all your webapp
resources at once.

Re: Apache/Tomcat integration - Update

[Kyle]

Ok,

One step at a time. Thanks so far Darryl.

I now have it working across the internal network, but not externally. 
The next step is what do I now need to do so that I can see the 
jsp/servlets-examples pages externally??


Also, as I understand it, this format means that TC 5.5.9 will be the 
only one available to ALL VHosts. I need to set up different Tomcat 
versions with the different VHosts. Another day's question for now.



{For reference, I have included the changes made to my originally mailed 
config at the bottom.}



As follow up to earlier questions;

You need to confirm that requests for the vhost are being correctly 
routed into the VirtualHost section of the apache config.  If they are 
not then there is no sense looking at the JkMount configuration yet.  ...


logging is set up differently for the global config and the default 
VHost. It is the VHost error log which is displaying the "File does not 
exist" errors. This file registered these internally initially and it is 
now still this file which is registering the same error for external calls.


So if you want to a single hostname in the URL then you need to 
configure both Apache (ServerName/ServerAlias) and Tomcat ( / 
) to responsd to the same hostname.



it is precisely this combo which didn't work.


localhost

I have now switched them (see below) and it appears to work.



I suspect your only remaining problem now is to get Apache and Tomcat 
to see the same website document roots for the same URLs.  This maybe 
a problem if you are using deployed WARs since tomcat can and will 
delete the directory from under apache during the deployment process.


How do you mean "TC can and will delete the directory from under 
Apache"? Which directory do you mean? At this point, I am only trying to 
view the WARs bundled with TC. I am starting TC before Apache with the 
apps already deployed (so far).


Thanks again.

Kyle

RE: howto configure JAAS+SSO

[Mark Benussi]

Hi Edmund.

I am sorry but I don't know much about SSO.

However I can tell you about JAAS in Tomcat. In 5 certainly there are
issues. Essentially when you call the LoginModule to invoke your JAAS config
it works but it does not authenticate the proper session Subject. What you
end up doing (Or what I did) was place a request filter in the app that
wraps the request with an overridden RequestWrapper and you write your own
inUserInRole against the Subject that the LoginModule returns (By placing it
in the session)

If you want some code, taken from Wendy Smoak and others I can provide.

Subject: howto configure JAAS+SSO


hello!

I'm trying to configure two webapps (slide and jetspeed2) for 
single-sign-on in the same tomcat instance. Both apps use JAAS and come 
with their own JAAS login modules. Is it possible to configure these 
(any?) two apps to share login info with JAAS. I started reading the 
JAAS docs recently and I tried putting the two login modules into one 
JAAS login context, but that does not seem to work, because the login 
module classes won't instantiate properly due to dependencies to their 
respective webapps.

Can SSO be achieved without having the apps share one login context?
Will I have to write my own login module(s)?
Should I use a (completely) different approach to get SSO?

Thanks for any help/advice.

I'm currently considering to write my own login module in order to share 
authentication data across login contexts. i would need to access 
session cookies from the module and i'm not sure how/if this can be done 
yet.


i've never written a requestwrapper myself, so i can't really tell how 
hard/complicated that would be. i'd be glad, if you could provide me 
with some code to look at. that could certainly help me decide on how to 
go on about that SSO requirement.

Does the RemoteHostValve work?   There are no examples in the Tomcat 5
docs and the tomcat 4 docs have the following..

 

Any regex starting with * fails in Tomcat 5 and you can also see this
happen on the Regex test applet.

http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/applet.html

Does anyone have some working examples?  It doesn't work for me even
if I type in the full hostname.   Perhaps there is something in Tomcat
I need to configure for it to be able to get the hostname of the

Re: Webapp suddenly not available

[Brian Cook]

WOW that looks like a lot lot of unneeded complication.

I do not know if this is absolutely correct for every situation.  But it 
is my experience that if you are just doing JSP pages you do not need 
the web.xml at all.  It is only needed if you need to call a servlet, 
define a resource like JNDI, or set a context value.


Is the 404 error from Tomcat or Apache?  Do you get the 404 error when 
you try to connect one of the servlets directly?

There are no errors in catalina.out and localhost.log. I've tried to

Finally, I was never able to make my application work with the web.xml

I'll be grateful for any suggestions.

  controller
  
This servlet plays the "controller" role in the MVC architecture
used in this application.  It is generally mapped to the ".do"
filename extension with a servlet-mapping element, and all form
submits in the app will be submitted to a request URI like
"saveCustomer.do", which will therefore be mapped to this servlet.

The initialization parameter namess for this servlet are the
"servlet path" that will be received by this servlet (after the
filename extension is removed).  The corresponding value is the
name of the action class that will be used to process this request.
  
  com.mycompany.mypackage.ControllerServlet
  
listOrders
com.mycompany.myactions.ListOrdersAction
  
  
saveCustomer
com.mycompany.myactions.SaveCustomerAction

  graph
  
This servlet produces GIF images that are dynamically generated
graphs, based on the input parameters included on the request.
It is generally mapped to a specific request URI like "/graph".

I do not know if this is absolutely correct for every situation.  But it 
is my experience that if you are just doing JSP pages you do not need 
the web.xml at all.  It is only needed if you need to call a servlet, 
define a resource like JNDI, or set a context value.


Is the 404 error from Tomcat or Apache?  Do you get the 404 error when 
you try to connect one of the servlets directly?


Brian,

The error is from Tomcat - if I go to port 8080, I also see it. My issue 
is that I can't figure out how to turn debug messages on via log4j - I'm 
sure I'd see something interesting there.


Thanks,

3. When you call youre LoginModule get the Subject and place in the session
and then write your own code to validate the Subject has the role required.

4. As for passing the session to your LoginModule, which I wouldn't do in a
puristic way as the LoginModule should be able to be used by a wing app just
as much as a web app.

Contstruct a CallBackHandler with the username and password but also with
the session or request. Then in your loginmodule you will have access to the
request/session when you invoke handle callback

thanks.

I'm currently considering to write my own login module in order to share 
authentication data across login contexts. i would need to access 
session cookies from the module and i'm not sure how/if this can be done 
yet.

i've never written a requestwrapper myself, so i can't really tell how 
hard/complicated that would be. i'd be glad, if you could provide me 
with some code to look at. that could certainly help me decide on how to 
go on about that SSO requirement.

Uh, yeah. Seems like it'd be a good idea to reinstall the orginal

It's really straightforward, but the time to try isn't after your

Re: Webapp suddenly not available

I would try removing the <>.xml file, if there is one, and 
replace the web.xml with a default one.  Then restart Tomcat.


If you still get the 404 error when calling just JSP pages and there are 
no errors in the catalina.out file then the problem is very likely in 
the syntax of the URL being used.  If this does work then the problem is 
mostlly in the web.xml file.  Possiblly in the <>.xml but not 
liklly.



The <>.xml file can be found in


<>Tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\<>.xml

Re: How to automatically start tomcat 5.5.9 under linux using local user

Greetings:

I set tomcat 5.5.9 running in port 8080 so it can be started without
using the root user. However, when I start tomcat using linux rc.local

Re: Virtual Hosting with WAR files

[Charles Meier]

If I understand this setup correctly, you would be running one instance 
of Tomcat for all of your
virtual hosts.  This has the disadvantage that if one virtual host needs 
to be restarted, you will need

to restart Tomcat for all of your virtual hosts.

An alternative is to let Apache handle the virtual hosts and run 
multiple instances of Tomcat --
one instance per virtual host.  This requires multiple mod_jk instances, 
each communicating
across a unique port with an instance of Tomcat.  Each Tomcat should be 
deployed to its own
home dir w/ its own CATALINA_HOME pointing to that directory and with 
each Tomcat
given its own start/stop.sh script that sets CATALINA_HOME.  This is 
more complex to
set up, and I'm not sure how many separate Tomcats this can handle, but 
it does allow you

to have something like:

http://customer_1.com
http://customer_2.com
...
http://customer_n.com

and fix customer_n's problem without impacting other customers using the 
same box.  Since I
maintain a box with this setup, I can post sample config files if there 
is interest.

Uhm, too many pronouns.  "Ones?"  You mean the binaries?  Java .class 
files are all binary bytecode, the bytecode is architecture independent 
and well defined.  All you need is a Java Virtual Machine for your 
architecture to execute the binaries.  So the binaries, in theory, will 
run all any hardware architecture with a suitable JVM available.


If by "ones" you mean "JVMs" then yes, there is an AMD64 JVM available 
for download at java.sun.com.  In addition, I'm pretty sure Blackdown 
will compile 64-bit as well.



These machines are Intel Zeon processors (dual)
 


Are they EM64T Xeons, or the older 32-bit only Xeons?

Yes, the problem is indeed that the task definition had been
mistakingly removed in this build from the catalina.tasks properties

Re: howto configure JAAS+SSO

[Wendy Smoak]

From: "Mark Benussi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


However I can tell you about JAAS in Tomcat. In 5 certainly there are
issues. Essentially when you call the LoginModule to invoke your JAAS 
config

it works but it does not authenticate the proper session Subject.


Can you explain more about this?  I just _finally_ got the jsp-examples 
webapp that ships with Tomcat changed over to Kerberos authentication. Am I 
about to run into problems?


What you end up doing (Or what I did) was place a request filter in the 
app that

wraps the request with an overridden RequestWrapper and you write your own
inUserInRole against the Subject that the LoginModule returns (By placing 
it

in the session)

If you want some code, taken from Wendy Smoak ...


... who took it from one of Craig's tomcat-user posts. ;)

There's the odd shell script and batch file to assist; other than that,
it's pure Java.  Certainly there's nothing that needs a
platform-specific compiler before it'll run, just the JVM.

Heh.  Oh well, I get the 'teaching grandmother to suck eggs' prize for

IIS-ISAPI issue with OPTIONS request.

[Nayak, Usha- Kalpana]

Hi,

 I have Tomcat redirector plugin DLL, isapi_redirector.dll (1.2.14)
plugin installed in IIS. I am using this redirector to connect IIS with
JBoss. I have configured isapi to redirect uri with /tc/* using
workers.properties and uriworkermap.properties. Also, Using the IIS
management console, added a new virtual directory to my IIS  web site.
The name of the virtual directory given is tomcat and the
isapi_redirector.dll seems to be loaded i.e I see green arrow.

 BTW, I have a created a directory and it has isapi_redirector.dll,
workers.properties, uriworkermap.properties,
isapi_redirector-1.2.14.reg.

RE: IIS-ISAPI issue with OPTIONS request.

[Nayak, Usha- Kalpana]

Hi,

I seem to have no problem connecting to JBoss with request like POST,
GET, SEARCH. So I am thinking everything is configured correctly. 

My virtual directory tomcat maps to E:\\isapi_redirect1.2.14.
Properties on Default Web Site ->ISAPI Filters, click on filter
installed 
Filter Name : tomcat
Status : Loaded
Executable : E:\isapi_redirect1.2.14\isapi_redirect.dll
Priority : High

Also, would like to mention I can debug the isapi dll and while
debugging, POST, GET, SEARCH request call HttpExtensionProc function in
isapi dll and then return HttpFilterProc.

DWORD WINAPI HttpExtensionProc(LPEXTENSION_CONTROL_BLOCK lpEcb) 
DWORD WINAPI HttpFilterProc(PHTTP_FILTER_CONTEXT pfc,
DWORD dwNotificationType, LPVOID
pvNotification)

Incase of OPTIONS, HttpExtensionProc is called after which
HttpFilterProc is never called.

Will appreciate all your help... Thanks...

Re: Apache/Tomcat integration - Update

[Darryl L. Miles]

Do you have a line in Apache:

NameVirtualHost *:80

I dont think ServerName should have the port number after it.  This and 
ServerAlias are Host: header matching values.




I suspect your only remaining problem now is to get Apache and 
Tomcat to see the same website document roots for the same URLs.  
This maybe a problem if you are using deployed WARs since tomcat 
can and will delete the directory from under apache during the 
deployment process.


How do you mean "TC can and will delete the directory from under 
Apache"? Which directory do you mean? At this point, I am only trying 
to view the WARs bundled with TC. I am starting TC before Apache with 
the apps already deployed (so far).


I suggest you learn more about the exact nature of the "deployment 
procedure" from an packed WAR to an unpacked WAR that goes in within TC.

If I understand this setup correctly, you would be running one

An alternative is to let Apache handle the virtual hosts and run 
multiple instances of Tomcat --
one instance per virtual host.  This requires multiple mod_jk 
instances, each communicating
across a unique port with an instance of Tomcat.  Each Tomcat should 
be deployed to its own
home dir w/ its own CATALINA_HOME pointing to that directory and with 
each Tomcat
given its own start/stop.sh script that sets CATALINA_HOME.  This is 
more complex to
set up, and I'm not sure how many separate Tomcats this can handle, 
but it does allow you

to have something like:


Maybe this is realistic in your hosting setup, but it would be absurd in 
mine.  The fact you are concerned that VirtualHost changing on the fly 
is an issue suggests you might have a great many VirtualHosts in the 
first place and to give each one their own JVM would be absurd.


As each JVM gets more and more use they will eat up system resources 
that it wont necessarly be given back to the system.  Each Apache 
instance will end up with a AJP socket open to each TC it would multiply 
up the socket usage, memory usage.


All so that you dont have to restart TC for VirtualHost changes.  I 
would much sooner write the code in TC (if its not already been done) to 
allow  level configuration changes to take place at runtime.

This is called hide in plain sight.  It's the download named "Compat" on
the main Tomcat download page
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi).

virtual host and JkMount with jk1.2.14

[Danico Lee]

i got tomcat5, apache1.3 and jk1.2.14.  i'm very confused with JkMount. in my

ServerName our_server
DocumentRoot "${tomcat_home}/webapps/test1"
JkAutoAlias ${tomcat_home}/webapps
JkMount /test1/* worker1


if i go to http://our_server/test1/, it works.  but this is not what i want.  i 
want it to be http://test1.our_server/ instead.  i got this:



ServerName test1.our_server
DocumentRoot "${tomcat_home}/webapps/test1"
JkMount /* worker1


when i go to http://test1.our_server/,  it always displays the default pages 
under ${tomcat_home}/webapps/ROOT/ instead of ${tomcat_home}/webapps/test1/.


i tried messing with  in server.xml, JKAutoAlias, etc.  couldn't get 
it to work.  very frustrated.  pls help.

Maybe you create a script in /etc/init.d/mytomcat that works the same 
way at the others in there ?  Then symlink from each useful runlevel 
/etc/rc.d/rc[345].d/mytomcat -> /etc/initd.d/mytomcat, use 
/sbin/runlevel to see which you are at already.


Maybe you are lazy and simply add a few lines to /etc/rc.local ?


Eitherway should do the trick.

RE: howto configure JAAS+SSO

[Mark Benussi]

Hi Wendy,

Sure I can explain what happens but not why.

When you call the LoginModule with an optional Subject and CallBack the code
works fine for me, i.e. it calls the LoginModule and I do everything I need,
placing the Principals into the Subject.

However... and this is where I don't want to say anything sweeping in case I
have just simply misunderstood the Subject that is authenticated via the
LoginModule has no visibility to Tomcat. If I could find a way to replace
the session Subject with the one passed back from the
LoginModule.getSubject() I would be ok, but I couldn't, so I placed the
authorised Subject in the session and overrode the request.isUserInRole() to
authorise against the Subject I placed in the session.

One of these days I might ask the Tomcat dev list what I was doing wrong but
got comments from other developers saying they had the same problem [All the
JAAS examples do it the way I have described in some shape or form]

Its not that bid a deal, and if you just use the Request wrapper I have
attached you know that in the future you can remove the filter if you go to
WebSphere or something like that.

Re: Tomcat5 / war file deployment: symlink problem

[Darryl L. Miles]

Alan Cooper wrote:

I have a tomcat5 installation running on a RHEL ES3 box which I am 
having some issues with.


I have a symlink back to an images directory which is outside the 
context. This works fine and I can read the images etc.


The problem occurs when I redeploy the context through the manager 
webapp: when the context is removed. the removal script seems to 
follow the symlinks, thus deleting my images directory.


Any suggestions on how to avoid this?


If they are part of the web-app then they should be inside the WAR in 
the first place.  The idea of the WAR is that its a self-contained 
COMPLETE web-application with no (few) external dependancies.


If they are an external repository your web-app can look into and work 
with, then you need to define some level of logical seporation in your 
web-app (like an API).  This maybe as simple as defining a property 
key/value with the absolute path to the top-level directory of the 
repositorory then making all file access to it resolve the system path 
before using it.  By doing that you can now move your images out of the 
web-app WAR file area and put them anywhere.  This is only useful if 
your servlets want file access to the repository but it sounds like you 
want HTML access to "images/foobar.gif" so they can be served directly.

persistence with sessions & distributable attribute

[Nishant Deshpande]

Hoping for some help from the tomcat experts on this list.

I want to ensure all objects stored in sessions are serializable.

I read that I can put the  tag in my web.xml file to
'enforce' this.

But I don't see any enforcing happening. I assumed it would throw
exceptions at runtime when I did 'setAttribute("xxx",
SomeNonSerializableObject)'.

I have put 'distributable' in

web.xml:  ...  ... 

I also have the following in server.xml:



  
  

  




Am I missing something? How is the serializability enforced?

Also another question: the serialization does not happen in the
directory i specify for Store above, rather it happens in the
$CATALINA_HOME/work/Catalina/* directories. Any ideas about this one?

Thanks,

Advice for Hosting Many Individual Webapps?

[Seth Ladd]

Hello,

We are finding outselves hosting more and more individual webapps, all 
running on Tomcat 5.5.9 w/ JDK 1.5.  Each of these webapps is developed 
and deployed on a separate schedule, and the number and frequency of app 
deployments is increasing.


The frequency is so much that the uptime of all of our applications is 
affected as we continually take down Tomcat servers in production to 
deploy a new application (or new version of the application).  Because 
hot deploy does not work (the old favorite OOM error w/ too many 
redeploys), we bounce the Tomcat server for every redeploy.


To avoid taking down all of our applications when we need to redeploy a 
single app, we've begun to deploy each application to their own Tomcat 
instance.  All of these instances are fronted by a single Apache server 
handling vhosts, logging, etc.


We're just curious how common this setup really is.  We know we are in 
an uncommon position, with so many webapps (approaching 20, and growing 
very fast).  We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket, so to 
speak, so we've begun to split out individual tomcat instances.


Anyone else have to handle numerous webapps, with frequent deploys, and 
have to keep uptime for all apps as high as possible?  We hesitate to 
put all webapps in one tomcat, because to deploy one app means we have 
to take down all of our apps.  This is becoming unacceptable.  (not to 
mention that a memory leak in one app will bring down all the apps 
living in that tomcat instance)


Any tips or tricks would be really appreciated.  Or pointers to previous 
material (I've found some, but nothing that jumped out at me).


Thanks very much in advance,
Seth

RE: Advice for Hosting Many Individual Webapps?

[George Sexton]

The technique I use is this:

Run the HTTP connector on port 8080.

Forward port 80 to port 8080.

To re-start the system:

edit the server.xml and run the HTTP connector on port 7080
Change the shutdown port to 8006

Start tomcat, and wait till it comes up.

Re-run the firewall script to forward port 80 to port 7080.

Stop the instance running on port 7080.

The downside is that any active sessions get bounced and have to re-login.

You could run the apps in separate Tomcat instances.  In that case, you
would explicitly define load order: the start script would start app1 in
instance1, then app2 i instance2.

That said, the spec doesn't cover this, as well it shouldn't -- apps should
be fairly self-sufficient such that load order is irrelevant.

Calculating required memory

[Oleg]

Hi,

I am trying to approximate the amount of memory my server will need running 
tomcat. I understand that a lot depends on how the appication handles 
resources, however at this point I am trying to figure out what will be the 
mimimum needed. In my case I have virtual hosting setup, with all hosts 
sharing the same libraries, so I have struts, hibernate,... all sitting in 
shared/lib directory of Tomcat. Would I be correct to estimate that Tomcat 
will atleast need

n(number of users/applications) * mb(total size of shared/lib)

I hope I am wrong because my shared is about 8MB, so to have 300 identical 
application deployed, I will need at least 2.4GB and than some

Could some one please explain how it actually works?

Thanks
Oleg

Re: Performance proxy_ajp vs. mod_jk when TOMCAT integration with Apache

proxy_ajp is mod_jk successor in Apache2.1/2.2 core. 
You can find more info:

Do you have a line in Apache:

I dont think ServerName should have the port number after it.  This and 
ServerAlias are Host: header matching values.




Darryl,

yes I do.

However the ServerName directive I have been referring to in all msgs is 
the global ServerName directive that comes in much further up the file 
(example file anyway). The actual Hostname of the machine. It is this 
name I have been putting into the  tag as the default VHost.


I.e. It is this name I want the machine to respond with rather than 
www as a default.


I'm beginning to wonder whether this is the right thing to be doing.

In a word, no - disk space occupied by class files has no correlation
with memory consumed by a running application.  Class files are
primarily composed of the constant pool and byte codes, whereas the vast
majority of memory used by most Java applications is taken up by
dynamically created objects, which is highly dependent on application
logic.

You really can't estimate memory use with any degree of confidence
without actually running your application, using various loads and
forcing garbage collections to occur.  Given the low price and ready
availability of memory these days, this really shouldn't be much of a
concern.  Of course, it would be possible for some monstrous app to
exhaust the per-process virtual space provided by your OS...

RE: webapp loading order...

[Joe R. Lindsay]

You may be right in a perfect world, but well... I don't think
we'll get there this week.
 
I have a 3rd party app that I am dependent on and I'd prefer
to avoid the cost of rmi across multiple Tomcat instances.
 
I don't give up easily so I am going to try to use the Tomcat
manager app and just script the starting and stopping of applications
rather than leave that to the vagaries of Tomcat.  I am sure to find
this imperfect but being an old ops guy, but control feels more
deterministic to me...and I've enough datacenter surprise for this
life.
 
If anyone has tried this and gone down in flames, let me know
or just have sympathy for me ;)

You could run the apps in separate Tomcat instances.  In that case, you
would explicitly define load order: the start script would start app1 in
instance1, then app2 i instance2.

That said, the spec doesn't cover this, as well it shouldn't -- apps should
be fairly self-sufficient such that load order is irrelevant.

Re: persistence with sessions & distributable attribute

[Lintang JP]

hi Nishant,
You might want to put all your session variable inside HashMap or other 
datatypes that implements Serializable, rather than put it just in a single 
variable. Refer to the javadocs, what are those Serializable data types are. 
Or maybe you can build your own class with something like this :
 public class StoredSessionValue implements Serializable {
 // your session variable goes here
  // your setter and getter method for those variables goes here
}

You did right on your  tags.

RE: Virtual Hosting with WAR files

[Mahesh S Kudva]

Thanks to all.

This setup has been tested on Apache2+JBoss+mod_jk-1.2.14_for MacOSX. And 
am sure it will work on other platforms as well. This setup also handles 
Apache related webapps..

Make the required entries in the DNS

webapp.war: Extract the war file using zip and rename the folder 
with .war extension. Please put it in your deployment folder.

mod-jk.so: Obtain the modjk.so library file from www.apache.org and place 
then in the modules folder.

Mod_jk can not be used for URL rewriting. It can mount only Tomcat
contexts, so you will need to use the mod_rewrite for that.
It has been explained here couple of times, so dig the archive :)

Re: Advice for Hosting Many Individual Webapps?

[Radek Wierzbicki]

Hi,

I very often deploy client's applications in multiple tomcat instances.
It is normal and each application does not affect another. You just need
a strong multiprocessor server with a lot of memory to sustain the last
:) The only difference is that I often configure a separate apache
instance for each tomcat instance. But one apache is also fine.

I find this setup very comfortable when it comes to updating the
application code or just restarting an application. Also, when one
tomcat crashes, others run just fine.

A tip here is to write/rewrite startup script so that it handles
multiple instances of tomcat. It is also a good idea to create an
environment profile file for each instance where you define stuff like
JAVA_HOME or JAVA_OPTS for each instance separatelly and store it with
the configuration. The development expense may be unneccessary if you
only have one setup like that.

I hope you are using the $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_BASE variables to
separate binaries from runtime/configuration files of each instance and
you're not copying the whole tomcat tree.

Think about file and process ownerships when web applications belong to
different owners.

If you want to ensure reliability then clone the machine and put a
redirector in front of both. It scales very well and the user impact in
case of trouble is not 100%.
