Virtual hosts on Tomcat 3.2

2001-02-09 Thread Chris Freyer

Hi all, new subscriber here.  I'm running Tomcat
stand-alone.  I upgraded to 3.2 last night for the
multiple host support.

Several questions
Can I have separate logfiles for each host?
Can separate hosts share a context? (just curious).
Can sessions be shared between hosts?
Can database connections be pooled across hosts?
What problems will I run into if one host's path is a
subdirectory of another's?

Thanks, and please point me in the right direction if
these Q's have been answered already.

Chris

Using tomcat stand-alone

2000-11-10 Thread Chris Freyer

Has anyone attempted to use Tomcat as a stand-alone server?  

I have, on a light-duty site where load isn't an issue.   The only problem I
had was with SYN flooding, caused by broken connections on the client side.
Too many broken connections in a row causes port 80 (originally 8080) to go
offline.  The site is running on a Linux machine, so I enabled SYN
protection in my firewall and the problem disappeared.  

For what its worth...I use include files for the header and footer of my
JSP-based site.  To test Tomcat's ability to process JSP's, I instantiated a
Date object at the beginning of the header and the end of the footer, and
output the difference (in ms) at the bottom of the HTML output.  Most pages
are taking 1 - 20 ms to execute.  This means I could easily serve thousands
of requests per minute.

RE: Tomcat Sudden Death

2000-11-10 Thread Chris Freyer

Not sure if my previous message made it to the list or no, so I'll
repost

I experienced a port shutdown on Tomcat 3.2B6 when I held my finger down on
the refresh key in IE.  Apparently the number of aborted connections was
greater than Tomcat could handle.  Port 8080 stopped working, but 8007
stayed up.  I enabled SYN flooding protection in my Linux firewall and the
problem went away.  Not sure if this is your problem, but its worth a look.

I have some additional useful info about our problem below.
We ran the same test as below except we eliminated Apache and mod_jk totally
from the equation by using port 8080 in the URL to connect directly with
Tomcat.
And after a few hours Tomcat stopped responding with no errors in the logs.
The Tomcat processes still stayed around.
Any help on this would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Jim Blum

RE: forward to an absolute URL

2000-11-09 Thread Chris Freyer

The  tag is for redirecting a request to another
jsp/servlet/html page within the same context.  In other words---on the same
server.  I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong about the scope of
"context".  

It sounds like you want to make the browser go to another machine, which is
a client-side action.  For this you just output an HTML page containing meta
tags or javascript.

Hi,

I understand that I can forward a request to an other page with
. My example works with relative URL but how
can I forward to a page such as "http://www.netscape.com"?

RE: servlets and the refer link

2000-11-09 Thread Chris Freyer



I'm 
not aware of any call to get the most recent page from a browser's cache.  
It isn't sent as part of a normal HTTP request.
You 
can get it using javascript though--create an HTML or 
JSP page that contains a hidden form.  Place a JavaSript 
function in the page that runs in the  OnLoad event.  
Make it detect the browser and use the correct object model to grab 
the most recent entry in the history list and put it in the form.  Then 
submit the form to your server. 
 
Fair 
warning though--people don't like it when developers mess with their 
privacy.  Be careful.

  Hi all -- which call do I make to obtain the "refer link" when my servlet 
  is accessed via a doGet()?
   
  I want to obtain the last URL that user visited before getting to my 
  servlet.  Is that possible?
   
  Thanks
