Tomcat Newsgroup?

2002-11-20 Thread David White
Just curious, since this mailing list gets so much traffic, is there any
desire to create a newsgroup instead?  It would be great to be able to
search old posts using a newsreader or google groups.

cheers,
David White

Subject: Tomcat List Duplicates?


Is anybody else getting duplicate emails from the Tomcat list?  I not only
seem to get duplicates, but I even get messages that I'm sure I saw
yesterday arrive again today (such as my own postings).

Possible To Share A Session Across Ports 8080 and 8443?

2001-12-09 Thread David White

Due to problems with my cable modem, please respond via email as well as to 
the list if possible. Thanks...

I am running Tomcat 3.2.x in development mode with default http on port 8080 
and default https on port 8443.

My web application needs to switch in and out of https on occasion while 
prompting for/passing sensitive info. The rest of the time, it is fine in 
normal http.

I have found (experimentally) that the browser does not seem to be passing 
the cookie containing the JSESSIONID value back and forth between urls like 
http://hostname:8080/webapp and httpa://hostname:8443/webapp. I am guessing 
that this is because the host names are different and the browser maintains 
cookies on a per-host name basis.

So when I do the switch between http and https, I loose my session data. I 
have tried getting the value of the JSESSIONID cookie and appending its 
value to the url I go to whilst switching (ex. 
http://hostname:8443/webapp;jessionid=xxx) hoping that I could get the 
session info maintained.

However, this did not appear to work either. Can anyone please give me a way 
to do this? If I use the default ports (80 and 443), I do not have to place 
the port id in with the hostname on the url. In this circumstance, I do get 
session state preserved. This would appear to be because the hostname 
portion of the url does not change.

It is just something of a pain to use ports lower than 1024 on Linux for 
development (have to be root).

Thanks in advance for you help.

David

Is jsp:xxx Reserved?

2001-07-19 Thread David White

I am rather new to JSP. However, I note that many standard jsp
commands are XML elements that begin with (are in the namespace?)
jsp:.

What I have found is that Tomcat seems to not reserve this prefix
(namespace?) for use by the jsp engine. For example: I can delcare
a taglib and give it the prefix jsp and get no complaints. I am not
sure what will happen but it seems confusing at best, tramatic at worst.

Also, if I screw up and enter jsp:incude instead of jsp:include,
Tomcat does not complain or find any error. It simply takes the data
and places it on the servlets output. This seems to be little help
either.

I have looked at the current JSP spec and find nothing on this one way
or the other. It would seem a minor imposition to require that the
prefix
jsp be reserved and that the allowed commands within that prefix to
be enforced by Tomcat.

Tomcat complains when I screw up on the use of an explicitly declared 
tag library element. It complains if I forget to provide a required
attribute
to either a valid jsp:xxx command or a declared tag library command.

I am wrong to expect the behaviors that I do not see?

Thanks,

David



RE: jsp and tomcat 4

2001-07-17 Thread David White

I've been having the same problem.  When I modify a JSP, it isn't recompiled
automatically.  However, if I delete the .class file associated with the
JSP, both the .java and the .class files associated with the JSP are
rebuilt.  So I've been deleting the .class files whenever I make JSP
changes.

I recall someone on this list mentioning that Tomcat 4b5 had a known bug
regarding detection of changes in source files, so I've assumed that was the
problem I've been seeing.

I'm using standalone Tomcat 4b5 in a Win2000 environment.

If anyone knows of a configuration change or a work-around that could get my
JSPs to compile properly when changed, please let me know!

Thanks
David

 You need to make changes to a jsp file, not java file.  Tomcat will detect
 changes automatically and will translate jsps into java files and
 then compile
 them.

  Hi,
 
  I have a question:
  if I modify a JSP under tomcat4 i don't see any change in
 browser because
  tomcat4 get the .class of JSP in cache (directory work)
 
  How can I say to recompile the jsp if there are changes in java??
