io exceptions with JDK 1.4 and Tomcat 4.0.x

[Chris Bailey]

I've seen some mention of JDK 1.4 and Tomcat 4.0.x.  Recently we started
using JDK 1.4 on Linux and Windows 2000.  When we run our app under Tomcat,
we quite often see a stack trace by Tomcat where it's doing io related
stuff.  I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this, what might be causing
it, what I should look for and so on:

RE: Can servlet write to file in /WEB-INF?

[Chris Bailey]

Right, keep in mind the whole WAR file aspect.  If your web app is not
packaged as a WAR file then it's less of an issue, and you could use
getRealPath, but if it is a WAR - even if it gets expanded by the container,
you can't use getRealPath and should write to a temp directory, or some
other directory you set up (you could store the location of this other
directory as a property in your web.xml file, etc.).

Hi,

getRealPath() and its ilk are really very evil. If the webapp isn't exploded
into the filesystem - i.e. it's "run" straight from the war file then you
wont be able to write to the filesystem under WEB-INF anyway. And that's not
addressing *why* a webapp requires filesystem access and the related
security issues of allowing a servlet/jsp to write into a "protected" area
like WEB-INF either.

Anyway, my 2p says you should be doing something like:-

File temp =
(File)getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");

then make a dir/file under this for your output.

Hope this helps.

Les

RE: No more RPM distributions?

I agree, the RPM's are nice.  Makes upgrading and tracking what you have
installed a tad easier (assuming the RPM update doesn't blow away your
webapps or modified server.xml, etc.).

Hi - just curious if there would be no more RPM distributions past 4.0.3.
That's the last version I see one for.  I rather like the RPMs myself and

Way to remove index page file name from URL?

[Chris Bailey]

I have a web app with a few servlets.  One of these servlets I'd like to be
the "default" servlet - basically it should handle any request that the
other servlets don't handle, or that isn't for an image file or other
resource.  So far, I've set this up by mapping a special index/welcome page
name to the servlet.  i.e. with *.mypage, and
then setting "index.mypage" as one of the welcome files.  This works nicely,
but the only problem is that on Tomcat (and maybe others), "index.mypage"
now shows up in the URL.  For example, if the original URL the user typed in
was "http://www.foo.com/";, their browser will now show
"http://www.foo.com/index.mypage";.

Is there any way to have Tomcat not set the location to the URL with the
index.mypage in it?

I should note, this shall be the only webapp for this instance of Tomcat, so
if I need to redo my context somehow to achieve this, that's fine.
Currently the context looks like:

  

I will need to be able to deploy it as both a WAR, and an expanded
webapp/non-WAR (for development).

How can I map all requests to a single servlet?

[Chris Bailey]

I have a web application that uses a single servlet to respond to all
requests.  This is the only web app that will be running under Tomcat.  How
can I set up the servlet-mapping so that it gets all requests, without doing
something like setting the  to be "index.*"?  Or, more
specifically, I don't want the "index.page" (or whatever) being added into
the URL.  So, the URL's should just be something like
"http://www.foo.com/?param=blah";.

RE: How to write files when web-app is a WAR?

[Chris Bailey]

That is not true to my understanding.  If you deploy a WAR file on Tomcat (v
4.0.3 anyway), then ServletContext.getRealPath() will return null (even
though the WAR gets expanded).  This is proper behavior as per the Servlet
spec.

Les' message about how to get the temp path is closer, but basically I need
more complete access to the file system.

For the time being I have just deployed not using a WAR file and I can then,
at deploy time, write the full path location into a property and use that,
etc.  But, what worries me is that there may be containers out there
(WebLogic maybe? Resin? others?) that ONLY allow deploying as a WAR file and
further, don't expand it; meaning that my normally nested file paths in the
expanded WAR area are now not accessible via java.io.File.

If the war file is unpacked (which tomcat will do automatically at startup
unless you specify somewhere in server.xml not to) then it is just as if you
had deployed to the webapp\your_app directory yourself.  I believe that
leaving war's unpacked results in slightly worse performance and isn't
recommended for a deployment server anyway.

>From what I've read, it seems that if you package your web application in a

that you can use to write files.  Reference:
http://mikal.org/interests/java/tomcat/archive/view?mesg=15006.

I have a web app that we'd like to package as a WAR.  But, we need to be
able to write various data files out to the server's file system.  What
solution(s) are people using for this?  Writing the files to a database is
not acceptable for us  (I'm not a DBMS expert, but have been told that BLOB
performance is not great, and that using a DB as a file system replacement
is not good, etc.).

I was thinking we'd have to do a bit of a hack...  Basically, at the time we
"install" our application, the user will pick the real path on their disk
where the data files are stored.  We then store this in a property in
web.xml, and retrieve that in the app for using as the path.  For
links/hrefs on a web page, we'd just use something like /data_files, but
then set up a path-mapping that had /data_files mapped to say
/home/appname/data_files or whatever.   I also am assuming I will need to
ensure that this real path lies outside of the WAR expanded directory
because someday Tomcat (and maybe others already?) will not expand the WAR
file.

Anyway, what have folks come up with?  While we use Tomcat for all our
development work, we'll likely have to support a variety of Servlet
containers (I think we can require at least Servlet 2.2, hopefully 2.3).

I would think though, that this same problem would occur (if it is
happening in our code) under JServ?  This never happened in JServ, so it
leads me to think Tomcat is somehow involved.

This is orignally how I had it set up, but the problem was that by using
"JkMount /* /whatever", which as you said, directs _all_ requests to
Tomcat, it directs EVERY request to that domain to the servlet.  So, if
for example, I put "http://www.blah.com/test/whatever.html"; in, that
still matches "http://www.blah.com/*"; (the /* being the JkMount part),
so it goes to the servlet as well.  This is undesireable (probably in
most cases), becuase then if the browser requests say a stylesheet, or a
static HTML file or whatever, it's all going to get mapped to the
servlet.

session id occasionally put into URL?

[Chris Bailey]

I am using Tomcat 3.2.1, mod_jk (w/ ajp13), Linux, Apache 1.3.19.  I
have the home page of a site mapped to a servlet, by mapping index.html
to a servlet in the web.xml file.  The problem is, I sporadically get
the session id showing up in the URL, and this results in a 404 Not
Found.

When it works "properly", I can go to the URL, "http://foo.bar.com"; for
example.  Apache determines this means I want the index.html file, and
then sees this is mapped to a servlet via mod_jk, etc., and runs the
servlet, all is fine.  The browser displays either http://foo.bar.com,
or sometimes http://foo.bar.com/index.html plus any parameters, etc.

The problem case is where I see the browser shows the URL similar to
http://foo.bar.com/;jsessionid=9946qv2xml1 plus any params.  This hoses
the browser, because it tries to request the web page of
";jsessionid...", and of course fails.

Can someone explain what's going on, and how I might fix this?

WEB-INF/lib vs. TOMCAT_HOME/lib

[Chris Bailey]

The Tomcat automatic setting of a classpath for a given webapp is not
seeming to work for me.  I have my various jar files in .../WEB-INF/lib,
for my web app.  But, that fails.  If I however, put them in
$TOMCAT_HOME/lib, then they get added to the generic classpath (which is
displayed on startup of Tomcat), and things work fine.  

How do I fix this?

This is something I tried (>> file 2>&1), but it didn't seem to spit
anything out (and I know stuff is getting spit out). 

For now, I've switched over to use log4j, which works fine (and is
probably a lot better to use anyway), but I'm still curious.  Plus, this
doesn't alleviate the issue of getting stdout/err in case something else
is printing to that.

stdout/err logging - how?

[Chris Bailey]

I've seen this topic come up in the past on the list, and searched the
archives, but...  I cannot seem to have my stdout written to a log file
(nor does it show up in the console window).  I'm on RedHat 6.2, Tomcat
3.2.1, Apache 1.3.19, mod_jk.  I have the Logger's in server.xml set to
DEBUG verbosity, and with path statements.  But, nothing gets spit into
those log files (well, at least not my System.out.println's and such).
Also, I tried one of the suggestions I saw in the list's archives, about
setting up a file and redirecting System.out and System.err to that (via
System.setOut(), etc.).  While the file gets created, nothing gets sent
to it.

What's the story on this?  This seems really pathetic that such a simple
need appears to be so hard to make work in Tomcat.  I'm hoping someone
can straighten this out for me.

classpath question

[Chris Bailey]

[System: Linux, Tomcat 3.2.1, Apache 1.3.19, mod_jk]

I have a web app that uses several jar files.  I have these in a lib
directory that has a symlink in my WEB-INF dir.  However, they don't
seem to get picked up.  It only seems to work if I put them in
TOMCAT_HOME/lib.  Do I need to do some other configuration?

Tomcat equivalent of JServ's LogWriter?

[Chris Bailey]

Is there an equivalent to Apache JServ's LogWriter
(org.apache.java.io.LogWriter) facility in Tomcat?

JkMount and not serving non-servlet/JSP files?

[Chris Bailey]

I have a web application where I want users to be able to type in a URL 
such as: http://www.foo.com, and have that go to a main servlet I have. 
  Basically all requests will go to this one servlet (which then figures 
out what to do, etc.).  However, I also want Apache to serve up the 
stylesheets and any non-servlet (and non-JSP, although I don't use JSP) 
files.  How can I configure this?

Right now I have a "JkMount / ajp13" in my httpd.conf file, and then I 
have my web.xml file map my main servlet to the url-pattern "/".  This 
makes the above url work, but it fails to load the style sheets and 
image files.  How can I configure this properly?
