Re: How to read JNDI resources?

2005-04-07 Thread Andrew Watters
Have found a couple of solutions.
Set the docbase to point to the WAR.


OR manually unpack the WAR after upload.
And the JNDI part works fine now :)

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. I didn't have a context entry so 
I added a minimal one (copied from the /examples one) before 
proceeding further as shown below.

   

Unfortunately tomcat doesn't start now. I get a 'Document base 
C:\Development\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31\webapps\xxx does not exist 
or is not a readable directory'

So I added a direcory xxx. Now tomcat starts ok but it doesn't unpack 
the xxx.war. Again I'm probably making some very simple mistake but 
can't see the problem or an answer in the docs or by googling...

Re: Context element problems in conf/server.xml

2004-11-15 Thread Andrew Watters
Thanks again. That works great, I'm accessing my webapp fine as the 
default webapp with the following


 
   
 
   
 


However, my application can't find the 'servername' environment property 
again!

The combinations I've tried (each one three times to be sure) and their 
behaviour

path="", docBase="xxx", WAR named xxx.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp 
starts but property not found
path="/", docBase="xxx", WAR named xxx.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp 
starts but property not found
path="", docBase="ROOT", WAR named ROOT.war --- WAR is not unpacked, 
webapp does not start
path="/", docBase="ROOT", WAR named ROOT.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp 
starts and property found!

I'm now really confused. The last option was where I came in! This 
didn't work previously and now does. I really wish that I understood 
tomcats behaviour. The only other change is that I've cleaned up my 
server.xml file but only to remove comments and commented out sections.

Andoni, thank you for your replies. Does this make any sense at all to 
you? If I have the time I'll take a look at the tomcat source but 
deadlines are looming at the moment... For the moment I have my fingers 
crossed (not my favourite policy) that all will keep working.

Regards
Andrew

I hope I'm understanding what you say correctly, apologies if not. If I
rename my WAR to say, app.war, then to access a page the URL would
become http://localhost/app/login.jsp. The reason why I changed the
appBase to ROOT and renamed my WAR ROOT.war was so that the URL would be

Is the problem that I'm going about this the wrong way in the first

If your app is Spec-compliant, considering setting unpackWARs="false"

Considering that unpacking of WARs and renaming of web application are
not areas covered by the Servlet Spec, I'm not surprised you didn't find
anything there ;)  It's a container-specific implementation issue.

Tomcat unable to unpack WAR (sometimes)

2004-08-19 Thread Andrew Watters
Problem with tomcat 5 on Linux:
Put WAR in webapps directory.
Restart tomcat.
Tomcat restarts ok but doesn't unpack WAR.
No errors in catlania.out.
Same WAR works ok on Windows machine. Although I'm not sure it is a 
Windows/Linux issue.
Unpack WAR on Linux and re-jar. Then unpacks fine when tomcat restarts.

We've previously had a similar problem and never figured it out. Has 
anyone else encountered this problem before?

Re: How do I find out which version of tomcat is installed?

Excellent, thanks very much. Not quite as intuitive as I expected...

Hi,
1. Install tomcat

6. ServerInfo.properties has what you're looking for.

I have full access to the tomcat directory but I can't find the version 
number in any of the files. It's probably somewhere obvious but I just 
can't see it.

Please help...

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately the root index file has long since

Re: How do I find out which version of tomcat is installed?

2004-06-24 Thread Andrew Watters
Thanks for your help, unfortunately in this case the manager app isn't 
there and the default 404 page which I know shows the version number 
isn't returned because the running application interecepts and shows its 
own page.

Start Tomcat and go to the manager status web app. In the server 
information table with there is a Tomcat version column.

On my box:
http://localhost:8080/manager/status

Thanks, slapping them sounds like fun.

I'm just guessing here but you could run the manager app over https.
If however your support team expressed concerns that the manager app
might be backdoored, I suggest you slap them a little bit and ask them
to change their medication :)

Subject: Manager app security concerns
I'm using the manager app to deploy web apps. I'm interfacing to it 
using deployer ant tasks. My support team have raised concerns that this 
is inherently insecure. They are concerned that a third party can use 
the manager app to take control of the server.

Is this a valid concern?
Is the username and password securely transmitted? Are there any back 
doors or bugs with the manager app that would allow it to be taken over?

If there are any problems is there a way to improve the security of the 
manager?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Deploying to ROOT problem

2004-02-27 Thread Andrew Watters
Hi Justin

I've tried what you suggest and it works great for me too. Thank you for 
your help.

If I browse to /manager I do get the directory listing but if I browse 
to /manager/list for example the manager application works fine. I've 
seen this same directory listing before. I'm going to try a new tomcat 
install and try again.

Thanks you for your reply; I'm still playing with this and I'll let you 
know if I make any further progress.

Andrew

I just did the same thing, though with more success.  In build.xml, I set
app.path to "/", and app.name to "ROOT", then adjusted the deploy task to
your first try.  On deployment, ROOT.war is copied to [tomcat]/webapps and
expanded into ROOT (I changed the target depends to "dist" from "compile").
Everything's there, and it browses normally.
However, now the manager app doesn't work, instead simply showing the
directory listing for server/webapps/manager.  Admin still works correctly.
Any idea?

Subject: Deploying to ROOT problem

I'm using the deployer via an ant task to deploy my application. I am 
using deployer 5.0.18 on windows and deploying to tomcat 5.0.18 on both 
windows and linux.  The following works fine

   
I also need to deploy to root. I have tried both

   
and

   
The first option completes successfully but I can see no evidence of my 
application being unpacked; browsing to '/' doesn't show my application. 
The second option also completes successfully and this time I see the 
application unpacked under webapps/ROOT; browsing to '/' doesn't help 
but browsing to '/ROOT/' shows that my appplication is there.

Does anybody know how to deploy to root using the deployer please? Any 
help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
