Subject: RE: Problem with logging in Eclipse

Hi guys

I have the same problem and it's driving me nuts. I have a run configuration
in Eclipse 3.0 for tomcat 4.1.18 and I call bootstrap.jar directly within
eclipse to start tomcat. The only jars I put in the run configuration class
path are the tomcat ones.

This starts tomcat as it would be normally run and tomcat then inits the
webapps directory and creates the classpath for each webapp based on the
contents of the WEB-INF/lib.

I have commons-logging.jar in my WEB-INF/lib as it's required by some code.
This has problems finding log4j even though it's there. When I send in a
request that uses com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.dom4j.ElementFactory
tomcat throws an exception into Catalina.out log showing the following stack
trace below.

Now, if I put log4j.jar into the run configuration class path the problem
goes away? Why can't tomcat find this jar under Eclipse 3

However, because I have multiple webapps running, the logging for the
different webapps is the same as the log4j.jar is now global so the last
webapp to init sets the logging scheme and location. Painful.

Thanks
Donie

You may need to plug in a newer Coyote Connector (or, even, plug it in in 
the first place, since 4.1.18 is a bit old :), but it will at least unchunk 
the input for you.  It doesn't currently unzip for you, but that should be a

lot less common.

Filter question in 4.1.18, can my filter get unchunked and unzipp ed requests?

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I've been reading up on filters to see if I can find a solution to an
annoying problem. I can't find it so I'm looking here.

 

I have this http filter that messes with the http request and response
before it enters and leaves tomcat. The problem is that this filter works at
a fairly low level on the data but a big mistake we made is that it assumes
that the data is neither chunked or gzipped. Now we have a situation where
some clients send data either in chunked form or gzipped form and out fairly
complicated filter gets very confused as it's not expecting this.

 

Ok, we can re-write the thing to handle this but doesn't tomcat already
unzip and de-chunk data? Problem is where is it done?

 

 

My question is, how can we arrange it so that the initial processing on the
incoming data is done by tomcat so that it unzip and de-chunks the data
before it reaches my filter? 

 

Is this possible???

 

Please say it is 

 

Many thanks

Donie

Clustered webapp that updates LDAP???

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I need to create a webapp which will be running on
multiple machines but they all get work which requires updates to an LDAP
server. I need to make sure that each webapp handles just one transaction each
so that they do stomp over each others changes.

 

I’m thinking of allowing just one of the webapps to
handle the updates but others would need to take over if it failed. 

 

Maybe this is the wrong way to go about it so any
pointers of a decent techinique to do this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Accept Headers

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

Using Tomcat 4.1.18 on Solaris 8.

 

Send a POST to tomcat with no Accept header and the
content type returned by the application is application/vnd.wap.mms-message

 

Now tomcat generates a HTTP 406 response to this case.
Is this correct? From the HTTP specification it says the following about the
Accept header…

 

“If no Accept header field is present, then it is assumed that the   client accepts all media types. If an Accept header field is present,   and if the server cannot send a response which is acceptable   according to the combined Accept field value, then the server SHOULD   send a 406 (not acceptable) response.”

 

 

In this case we have NOT send the header. If I add the
accept header it works OK.

 

Thanks for any help on this…

Create a properties file and use the Properties class to load the file at

I have a variable stored in memory which will be returned for certain

tomcat.  But then I need to be able to change this variable on the fly
without shutting down tomcat and then have it be permanently changed
afterwards.  What can I do? I've though about using a text file.  But I want
to read from this text file once only during startup of tomcat, store the

In the Servlet init() method you can call a method called getRealPath()

This will return the name of the directory where your webapp is deployed.
You may need to store this is a system property or a static classs for

RE: Stop displaying version info

[Donie Kelly]

First thing you can do is put in a custom 404 error page. See the archives
or check the docs. It's easy to do.

Second you can override the server header normally sent by tomcat by adding
this line BEFORE any servlet output has been done.

Hope that helps.
Donie


public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
try
{
  // Override the Server header
  res.setHeader("Server", "My Custom header that give no

3.3. Date and Time Specification
 
   Date and time occur in several header fields.  This section specifies
   the syntax for a full date and time specification.  Though folding
   white space is permitted throughout the date-time specification, it
   is RECOMMENDED that a single space be used in each place that FWS
   appears (whether it is required or optional); some older

rfc2822 clarification on date headers

RE: dramatic performance differences on development machines

[Donie Kelly]

Hi Johan

It's very suspicious that websphere runs so fast and tomcat doesn't. I think
there still might be a network issue.

Can you modify your server.xml as follows changing the enableLookups="false"
instead of enableLookups="true"



Maybe the reverse lookup is failing?

Just a guess...

Subject: RE: dramatic performance differences on development machines

Hello all,

I tried:

- isolating code in a java class and running it on both machines, about same
performance
- running tomcat 4.1.29, bit faster but still ~15 sec.
- changing network connection to full duplex, 2*faster but stil ~6 sec
(should be < 1 sec). indicates network traffic could be a bottleneck
- running websphere, performance ~600 ms.
- changing java version 1.3.06 to 1.4.1, no reasonable effects
- eliminating all services, no effect

The tested machines:
(the machine which performance is fast, a dev. client) P4 2.4Gh, 512MB
memory, 60Gb harddisk
(the machine which performance is slow, the server) P4 2.4Gh, 1Gb memory,
10Gb harddisk
(the machine which performance is slow, a dev. client) P4 1.8Gh, 512MB
memory, 40Gb harddisk

I see tomcat running high on processor performance, peeks in processor
performance are the same as peeks in the network traffic. But, when running
everything on one box, it is also slow (so network should not be an issue).

Also, the developer on the fast machine noticed that when getting code from
CVS from other developers, his system slowed down signifficant too, but I
have no clue what too look for with this indication.

I hoped to hear a some kind of, hey look into this or look into that, did
you look here, but unfortunattaly there's not. It is also a complex problem
with many factors that could be the cause (network?, language settings os?,
system settings?, file system?, foreign processes which interfere?, ...).

If anyone has got a clue i would be glad too here, meanwhile i'll go look
furher looking for a solution / cause.

Cheers,
Johan

Then could you just *try* a different version?

If it works, then YELL at your supplier - they would deserve it, sticking to
a buggy version. For that matter, sticking to just one version. Note that
4.1.24 is a RI for Sun's J2EE paltform and so is 5.0.16

RE: dramatic performance differences on development machines

No I meant the rrequest times for each machine. You said one took 400ms I
think and the other was 20seconds. Which machine gave which response. You
said you moved it to a slow dev machine but it wasn't clear which request
time it gave you.

If you can do what peter lin says and give us more details. It may save time
in the long run...

If it's a JSP with lots of tags, then Jasper 1 generated code which
triggered a performance bug in the virtual machine (dealing with
try/catch nesting). You can notice the issue by taking Jasper 1 JARs,
putting them in TC 4.1, and notice (on Sun VMs, I don't know about
others) pages taking 10x or more the usual time to render.

Upgrade to 4.1 or 5.0 if this is the problem.

RE: dramatic performance differences on development machines

[Donie Kelly]

What does the servlet do during the request. Is it a database lookup or
what? It's intresting that it's using 50-90% cpu time. If it were a network
error or mis-configuration I'd expect to see 0% cpu used during the timeout
period. Are you sure the application is working correctly when the response
has come back. Maybe there is some sort of timeout running in your
application that does not yield very well, ie: a tight loop waiting for
something? Maybe your processing is not as correct as you think.

This kind of performance degration can
also have some of the following causes if
the load of the system doesn't indicate
a problem:

- long or failing DNS Lookups.
- Missconfiguration that leads to round trips
  in the network.
- locks (e.g. Database)

I think you have to isolate one request that
takes long and find out where the time is spent.
(This doesn't mean in all cases profiling, in the
first step it might be enough to find out if the
time is spent before the request reaches the
application, in the application, or after the
application has sent the response.)

Any chance there is something else running on the machine that's killing the

Agreed. The only thing you're left with is profiling. There were some posts
on
that subject. So far, we've heard of JProfiler and something from IBM.
Borland's

Using acceptCount in server.xml

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

Just
wondering how to use acceptCount in the Connector class. Default example here
modified to show what I’m trying to test to understand how this works.

 

  port="8443"
minProcessors="1" maxProcessors="1"

  
enableLookups="true" 
acceptCount="2" debug="0" scheme="https"
secure="true"

  
useURIValidationHack="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true">

  

    

 

I start
Tomcat with this setup and see that it has only one object in it’s connection pool
as expected.

 

I have a
small servlet that just returns a number (incrementing) and has a forced pause
to simulate work being done. 2 seconds wait.

 


 I send the request with
 Browser 1 to the servlet and it doesn’t return yet. Should be asleep for 2
 seconds
 I send the request with
 Browser 2 to the servlet and it does noting but looks like it’s busy as
 expected as maxProcessors=1 above
 Browser 1 now returns
 with it’s incrementing number
 Now I expect browser 2
 to be assigned to the free connection in Tomcat’s pool but nothing happens…
 ever.
 Browser 1 goes again and
 works after 2 seconds.


 

Q: Why did
browser 2 not get assigned the servlet that browser 1 freed up when it finished
the request

 

Q: Does the
acceptCount does what I think it does?

 

Thanks for
any help in understanding how this works.

Donie

RE: How does a servlet request work. Not a newbie question ;)

[Donie Kelly]

Hi Nix

I need to read the headers to see if the request can be moved up in
priority. If no I will put that particular servlet into a wait state to be
woken up by some scheduler I create in the servlet engine. 

Ideally, all requests will be processed but some will be done before others.


It is not a login or cookie application. We are not using browsers to access
the application so the headers are customizable and we know the type of
message arriving. It's just we want some types of messages to be done. Under
load we can reject certain messages that are not high priority if an
internal processor cannot be assigned with a specified time frame.

Thanks
Donie

I'm not aware of any priority scheduling in Tomcat's worker threads. There
is no
public API for that, anyway.

If I understand correctly, you'd like people to login to a part of your app
and
then they will be issued a Cookie, which would be the token for boosting
priority of such requests. Possibly in a Filter.

Unless you wish to employ your own thread pools, internal or real, I think
this
is a no-go.

As a quick solution, you'd be better off using IP layer stuff, like IP QoS
(Quality of Service), Linux policy routing, etc.

Nix.

How does a servlet request work. Not a newbie question ;)

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I want to
insert some form of scheduling into our application and I was wondering how
Tomcat passes the request to the actual servlet I write. Does Tomcat just read
the headers to create the request object and leave the body of the message in
an inputstream for the servlet to read or is all the data in the request read
by Tomcat before passing it to servlet?

 

Some of my
traffic is more important that other based on headers in the request. I want to
prioritise the handling of requests under load conditions.

 

Any input
on this is welcome.

Thanks

If you dig a bit deeper with JIRA, there's a way to integrate it with

Depends on if you are using a commercial SCM tool.

Bitkeeper has a nice tracking tool called BK/BugManager.  PVCS Professional
has one too.  Can't remember what it is called.  We are looking at SCM

RE: Log4j problem mixing 2 apps

[Donie Kelly]

OK, I think I see the problem but I'm not sure how to fix.

I'm using eclipse to debug and run tomcat and as it uses log4j to log in the
webapps I have to put log4j in the classpath for eclipse so that the code
will compile. However, I think this is causing a problem when the
application runs as the log4j jar is loaded by eclipse and therefore it
seems to use that version instead of the version in WEB-INF/lib.

If I run the application from the command line it works fine.

Anybody got any idea on how I can work in Eclipse (or any IDE) and get
around this loading problem?

I have this problem as well but my log4j.jar is in WEB-INF/lib in both

easiest solution is to use log4j in the context scope, instead of
application scope. meaning that you put your log4j.jar file in web-inf/lib

have to configure the logger separately after that, and you will have no

Log4J under two different webapps

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I’m using log4j in two webapps, which means I’ve copied the log4j.jar into
both WEB-INF/lib directory for each webapp. I’m loading a log4j.xml for
configuration from my webapp and this works great when I run the app from the command
line using the tomcat startup scripts. I can vary the settings in each
log4j.xml and see the effect shortly afterwards in my logs for that webapp.

 

However, when I run tomcat under a debugger (ide) like Eclipse the behaviour
is different. The logs work OK but if I modify one log4j.xml it affect BOTH
webapps. It’s like as if the classloader in tomcat is sharing the log4j.jar
file?

 

Anybody have any idea why this would happen under an IDE? It was also
observed under Visual Café Expert edition so it’s not just an Eclipse problem.

 

I’m using Tomcat 4.1.18 and JDK 1.4.1_02-b06 but we’ve noticed this same
problem with older tomcat’s and JDK’s.

 

Thanks for any help

Mapping images in web.xml

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I’ve mapped my default servlet in server.xml as “/” so all requests are
mapped to that servlet. Is there any standard solution to getting the jsp and
images to work under this situation?

 

At the moment they are all getting routed to the default servlet.

 

If I make the mapping “/images” in server .xml I can make the images
load but I also have to map each individual jsp page to the jsp page.

 

Eg:

 



      index.jsp

      /onm/index.jsp

  

 

Question: is there any way to get all this to work without all these
mappings?

 

Regards

Donie

When you create the instances (blue, red, etc.) store them in a hashtable.

SomeObject blue = new SomeObject();
ht.put("blue", blue);

then:

public void callUse(String color) {
  SomeObject o = ht.get(color);
  o.use();
}

If your instances aren't of the same type, then define an Interface (for
example they all have a method called "use") and use that instead of
SomeObject.

Upgrading to Tomcat 4.0.2 solved the problem. We've now decided to move to
Tomcat 4.0.6 which also works fien in this case.
Can anybody explain what changed between 4.0.1 and 4.0.1 as it's not obvious

Byte Ranges

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

Can anybody explain how my service can support byte ranges in the GET
request. When data is requested from our application it comes from a
database and we cannot ask it for a specific range of bytes. 

My question is, will Tomcat look after this automatically and discard the
leading bytes if required and stop at the end byte range?

Thanks for any insights...

RE: Apache - Tomcat connectors

[Donie Kelly]

Hi

Why do so many other sites need to do this. Should the definitive source not
be the Tomcat site? If people have time they should submit a working
example. It would be nice if there was an official source for this type of
information. 

It sure is a waste of time roaming the web for basic documentation when it
should be readily available. I haven't much experience of all areas of
Tomcat but I'd defiantly submit a HOW-TO for parts I do know. All it need is
for a webmaster to look after the submissions. They could be easily then
added to the existing tomcat site.

I'm honestly astounded at the number of people struggling with successfully
installing and configuring Apache - Tomcat connectors.  An extensive search
of apache.org (and other sites) reveals why.  Documentation is vague,
fragmented, and quite frankly confusing.  It's frustrating and it's time
wasting.  Time I say for some clear, concise, blow by blow documentation on
performing what should be a relatively simple procedure.  Do you agree?

RE: Multiple SSL Certificates

[Donie Kelly]

This problem has been discussed here before so search the archives. Short
answer is that Tomcat cannot support two SSL certificates on the same port
so while tomcat supports virtual hosting, it cannot work with SSL. This is
not a limitation of Tomcat but a limitation of the SSL protocol which must
encrypt the link before passing any data to tomcat that could allow it to
decide which certificate to use.

Easy solution is to run two tomcat instances (two jvm's) and maybe use a
load balancer that does port translation. There are other ways but if you
search the archives you see what I mean.

Subject: Multiple SSL Certificates

I am running Tomcat 4.1 as a standalone server with two separate IP
addresses (one for internet and the other for intranet access), both
pointing to the same application.  I ordered two certificates from Verisign
(who stated I needed two) and installed both in Tomcat using the keystore
utility. However, only one certificate is recognized. The internet
certificate with name test1.internet.app is recognized, but the other
certificate with name test2.intranet.app is not. Depending on which one I
install first, that is the one that is recognized. So I called Verisign
(they do not support Tomcat) and they stated that I need to get Tomcat to
support multiple certificates. If I only need one, how do I get Tomcat to
recognize both IP addresses or both names?  Do I just define a virtual host
for each IP address (or domain name) that it serves in the server.xml file?

RE: Can a single host with multiple hostnames (same IP) have multiple SSL certs?

Subject: Re: Can a single host with multiple hostnames (same IP) have
multiple SSL certs?

The short answer is:  No.

It's basically the same problem as having multiple sites sharing an IP
address.  In the SSL protocol, the server (aka Tomcat) has to send the cert
very early on in the handshake.  In particular, *before* the browser has
sent the request headers (there is no point in the browser sending
potentially sensitive info until it has decided to trust you :).  Tomcat (or
any other SSL-enabled server) simply doesn't have access to the information
it needs to do this at the time it needs to make a decision.

Suppose a webapp, "foo.war", is deployed to a single standalone Tomcat
instance, installed in c:\tomcat, on a single host whose IP address is
1.2.3.4. There are a half-dozen hostnames that resolve to 1.2.3.4, including
www.foo.com, www.bar.net, and www.boom.org. No distinction is made among the
various hostnames... virtual hosting isn't being used. As long as the user
makes a request to a hostname that resolves to 1.2.3.4, Tomcat is happy to
serve the request.

Is there any way to associate three SSL certificates with it -- one for
www.foo.com, one for www.bar.net, and one for www.boom.org, so that requests
to https://www.foo.com/foo/page.jsp, https://www.bar.net/foo/page.jsp, and
https://www.boom.org/foo/page.jsp will all satisfy both Tomcat *AND* the
browser?

Note that I'm specifically *NOT* trying to have multiple different sites
sharing the same IP address with different hostnames. I know SSL doesn't
support that. What I'm trying to do is ensure that regardless of what
hostname is used to access the https page, the browser will be presented
with a valid certificate so it won't gripe about the certificate's name not
matching the site's hostname.

I know that the usual obstacle lies with the request header itself being
encrypted. However, if that's still the case, why couldn't Tomcat just
iterate through all the plausible keys available to it, one at a time, in
descending order of likelihood, until it finds one that decrypts it into a
valid request & then send the reply with THAT one? To give a real-world
analogy, it would kind of be like when a friend asks you to watch his house
while he's out of town, hands you a ring with a dozen keys that all look
alike, and you have to try them one at a time until you find the one that
fits and unlocks the door...

Yeah, it would increase the load on the server for requests to that one
page, but seeing how the only thing on the entire site that's actually SSL
is the login page and the actual number of possible hostnames/keys is fairly
small, the performance penalty of brute force doesn't seem like all that big
of a deal.

Thanks!

RE: Tomcat, log4j and strange output log

[Donie Kelly]

You should put log4j in your app/WEB-INF/lib directory as I think it has
static classes internally so if one app configures it one way and something
some other way then only the last app takes effect. If it's in the app lib
dir then the class loader will keep it safe from this stuff.

If you can only see info,warn,error and fatal I'd suspect that the log4j is
configured to info level. Read the docs that come with it to learn how to
configure it.

Ok, I thought this was coming from my log4j.properties file, but in fact 
not (I removed it, and nothing changed)

More, in servlet, I cannot output debug log, just warn, info and fatal, 
except if I also add log4j.jar in my WEB-INF/lib directory.

This is not really important for me, but i don't understand why this 
both things happen ?

Thanks for your help

RE: Startup Error

[Donie Kelly]

Try removing the servlet.jar from you WEB-INF/lib directory as it's already
in the tomcat/common/lib directory

First, thanks to everyone for all the help.  I just have one more question.
When starting tomcat (4.1.18 on win xp, jdk 1.4.1_01).  I receive this error
message:

WebappClassLoader:
validateJarFile(C:\TomcatTest\webapps\wwxchange\WEB-INF\lib\s
ervlet.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending

Has anyone ever seen this before?

What version of tomcat are you using? The reason I ask is the fact that you

I'd try putting the path relative to $CATALINA_BASE - maybe there's a
bug with the C:\ part?

"keystoreFile:
Add this attribute if the keystore file you created is not in the default
place that Tomcat expects (a file named .keystore in the user home
directory under which Tomcat is running). You can specify an absolute
pathname, or a relative pathname that is resolved against the
$CATALINA_BASE environment variable."

RE: TOMCAT Not listening on 80

[Donie Kelly]

When you say you can't stop it do you mean "won't stop it?" or you are
unable to stop it?

Subject: TOMCAT Not listening on 80

Hi,

 I did exactly as in the John Turner's website, Apache
1.3.27 with mod_jk and tomcat 4.1.18. To sum up here is what is
happening

  1. I already have a Bugzilla running on my server at port80. Can't
stop it
  2. At port 8080 I can see Tomcat listening. I need it on 80 ( Apache
is running here)


Can anyone help me?


  Thanks a lot in Advance and thanks John mail for Host Container
clarifications

This might help you to debug your problem.

Subject: Creating a signed SSL certificate with my own CA


Hi all
I'm really stuck here and I'd appreciate some help. To summarise, I've
followed the instructions below to generate a CA key so that I can sign
my
own certificates for use with tomcat. The instructions below work and
the
ca.crt and client.crs.der certs that pop out are viewable in IE. If I
import
the CA key it shows the client.crs.der key with the CA above. Everything
looks great.
Then I use the testkeys with tomcat

  

Now when I try to connect with SLL from IE it just shows
Cannot find server or DNS Error
What am I doing wrong? Are the certs I am creating suitable for SLL with
Tomcat. I'd really appreciate some help.

Certificate Authority
In a nutshell, what I'm suggesting is that you create your own
Certificate
Authority (CA) to sign your keys. This gets complicated because nothing
in
the Java Development Kit or JSSE lets you set up a CA and sign keys. You
have to go elsewhere for tools to do this. I chose to go with the
OpenSSL
toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/) running on Linux. There are toolsets
available from other vendors and platforms, however. If you choose to
use a
different toolset, you will just have to substitute the appropriate
commands; the theory is the same no matter what.
First, you need to generate your CA's key. That key is used to sign all
the
other application keys. The OpenSSL toolkit comes configured to setup a
CA
from whatever directory you start it in. This means that you need to use
all
the CA commands from the same directory. In the sample code, you'll find
the
CA directory that I used to generate the CA key and sign all the
application
keys:
1.Generate the CA key
$ openssl genrsa -rand -des -out ca.key 1024
2.Create a self signed certificate
$ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
You are prompted for location information for the certificate. Enter
whatever you want, but make sure you enter something for each field:
3.Setup the OpenSSL CA tools
$ mkdir demoCA
$ mkdir demoCA/newcerts
$ touch demoCA/index.txt
$ cp ca.crt demoCA/
$ echo "01" > demoCA/serial
You now can create the client application's key store and export its
public
key so your CA can sign it. You can enter whatever you want for all the
location information, but again make sure you enter something - standard
alphanumeric characters and spaces, but no underscores or other special
characters - for every field: 
4.Create a new key store for the client application
$ keytool -keystore testkeys -genkey - alias client 
When prompted, enter passphrase for the password to use this keystore
with
the sample applications. 
5.Export the client's public key
$ keytool -keystore testkeys -certreq -alias client -file client.crs
6.Sign the client's key with our CA key
$ openssl ca -config /etc/openssl.cnf -in client.crs -out client.crs.pem
-keyfile ca.key  -cert ca.crt
At this point, you should have a file called "client.crs.pem," which is
the
signed public key. It needs to be converted to a format suitable for the
JDK's keytool command, and then imported into the testkeys keystore:
7.Convert to DER format
$ openssl x509 -in client.crs.pem -out client.crs.der -outform DER
8.Import CA certificate into client's key store
$ keytool -keystore testkeys -alias jsse_article_ca -import -file ca.crt

9.Import signed key into client's key store
$ keytool -keystore testkeys -alias client -import -file client.crs.der
Step 8 must be completed so that the keytool command agrees to import
the
signed key. While importing the signed key, keytool checks the
signatories
to ensure that their signatures can be validated. They can be validated
if
their public keys are in the key store.
Once you have completed all of these steps, move the testkeys key store
to
the client directory. Start over with step 4 and create a key store for
the
server proc

[Donie Kelly]

I can create a single key and use that. it works ok. When i try to sign the
key using my own ca is where the problem is happening.

Maybe you have an entry for a special proxy-server

I've created a key with the keytool from j2sdk1.4.1 and it works without

I reckon you should develop a sense of humour and take it in the way it was
intended. I don't care what country you come from and neither does anybody
else here. I've personally got major help from this list and find it an
invaluable source of information. Your post below will get you nowhere. Post
you question in a form that is answerable and you just might get some use
from the list.

Looks like the include file parameter works differently. Maybe you should

I have a  tag as follows  and this works with the supplied contect path. That path will

Try using @include file="http:content/Common/Footer.inc" and see what

Subject: mapping URLs

  Hello, this is the second time I am asking this
message and hopefully someone can help me this time.

  I am migrating from Resin to Tomcat 4.1 for Windows
NT with JDK1.3. We have a bunch of include files and
images in a shared folder that all web application
share using Resin. This folder resides on
c:\include\content. I have configured the
corresponding Resin's web.xml file, whenever the
pattern "/content" is encounter to look into the
c:\include\content folder. So whenever in the jsp
files Resin sees the "/content/myInclude.inc" url
pattern it is looking at the
c:\include\content\myInclude.inc fodler.

  Is there something similar I can do with Tomcat? If
Tomcat encounters the "/content" then it will look on
the root folder of the specific application, which I
do not want.

  I have look through the web.xml documentation and
have only found URL-mapping for Servlets.

  I'd really appreciate any help given.

  Thank you.

USING SSL with VIRTUAL HOST and TOMCAT STANDALONE

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all
I'm trying to configure my server.xml with multiple hosts on Tomcat 4.0.4
and I want to use a different SSL certificate for each host entry. 

I AM NOT USING APACHE! JUST TOMCAT STANDALONE (sorry for
shouting but this is important)

Does anybody have an example of how to do this? I'd really appreciate a
simple HOW-TO. I'd also be interested in how the IP addresses are configured
on the machine. Do I need to always use the DNS name to access the protected
hosts (DNS name is stored in certificate). What happens if I use the IP
address when the host is protected by SSL?

Thanks for the help

There was a site http://www.talika.org/. The author wrote a Tomcat ManagerX

which can support virtual host. He sent out an email about it long time ago.
I have successfully
tested it with Tomcat 4.0.4 or some early version.(I cannot remember) You
can have a try.

Btw, developer such as Craig, Remy or someone else, would you please
consider adding this

RE: Static class not working under multiple webapps deployment

[Donie Kelly]

That's where it is running (WEB-INF/classes/com/.). The problem might be
that I am running Tomcat under Visual Café 4.51 expert edition. Without any
changes I run Tomcat from the command line and it works like magic. No
problems.

I wonder how running under Visual Café can affect the classloader for the
webapp? 

Maybe it's because I have to list the jar's for Tomcat in the Café classpath
and this somehow screws things up. It won't compile if I don't do this
obviously...
Any ideas on how to get over this are welcome...


On a similar note, I am using log4j for logging and under café the logging
for each webapp is configured from whichever log4j.xml file I modify last.
Running from the command line allows the setting for each webapp too be
configured seperatly (ie: debug, warn, error levels). Catch 23 here too in
that I must include log4j.jar in the classpath to compile the code.

Any idea how to get around this behaviour?
Donie

Note: I have the following jar's in the Café classpath

bootstrap.jar
catalina.jar
slflogger.jar
servlets-defaults.jar
xerces.jar
servlets-common.jar
servlets-invoker.jar
servlet.jar
naming-common.jar
naming-resource.jar

where is this class located? if it is in /common/classes or shared/classes,
that is the correct result.

you will have to copy the .class file to each webapp under its
WEB-INF/classes to get the result that you desire.

Static class not working under multiple webapps deployment

[Donie Kelly]

Hi
I have written a static class which is populated with data on startup of my
servlets and is suppose to be use in the context of the request. However,
the static class seems to return the same information for all webapps and
holds the configuration of the last servlet run on startup. Here is the
code... As you can see I want to use something that looks like the
System.Properties but System.Properties is gloabal so it's no use to me. I
want to be able to set the webapp name here so it's used during processing
but at the moment it's only returning the last name configured for the last
webapp.

Any ideas why this is happening. What have I done wrong to make this class
appear global?

Hi Mehdi,

you could get the resource stream from within a servlet's init()
method (where you have a ServletContext) and pass it to the
other object that needs it.

I do it pretty similar. But instead of passing the stream I pass
the servletContext.

RE: HOW TO: How do I allocate memory in JVM for extra virtual hosts

[Donie Kelly]

Thanks for that.

We are currently analysing the problem and we will look seriously at JDK 1.4
and probably IBM's JDK.

We obviously have some work to do but as our app depends on it we are happy
to look into these issues. 

Thanks for all the pointers

Please define "performing much better" ?

For our app benchmarks, JDK 1.4 GC was substantially better than PERC
3.3. 

I love how the PERC page still says "generational garbage collection"
like it's a big new thing.  Have you experimented with the train and
concurrent parallel GCs in JDK 1.4 and compared them (seriously compared
them, with hprof / another profiler and/or a heap analyzer)?

>I am not aware of all the performance implications of

System.gc() is a suggestion.  It doesn't guarantee GC will run.  You
don't want to do it anyways.  The JDK internally is better at detecting
when to run GC and what type of GC to do, on what segment.

Spend your time tuning the parameters, e.g. Xmx, Xms, XX:NewSize,
XX:MaxNewSize, min and max free percentages, etc.  Analyze the results
seriously, don't go for "seat of the pants, this seems better" testing.

FYI, we have several large (>1G heaps) JVMs.  We have run into long GCes
in the past, until we just set aside several weeks to researching and
tuning the GC.  The results were excellent.  As mentioned above, it was
then that we experimented with alternative JDKs, including IBM, PERK,
jRockit, and others. 

>At least then you can control how often garbage
>collection happens, and I suppose it is possible that

No you don't control it.  It's only a suggestion.  In fact, JDK 1.4
supports a switch that says to completely ignore System.gc() calls, so
if you server admin uses this switch System.gc() does nothing.

To get started, see:
http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc/index.html
http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/VMOptions.html

HOW TO: How do I allocate memory in JVM for extra virtual hosts

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all
I am running tomcat 4.0.1 with virtual hosting and was wondering how much
memory to allocate to each additional host. By default, we use 64M for one
host but adding another 64M for second host seems excessive considering it's
the same tomcat instance.
However, if we add a lot the JVM will use more memory before garbage
collection and we've seen a 30 second (!!!) delay when using 1G Ram on JVM
as it just kept using memory until it ran out. It then had almost 1G of ram
to garbage collect. How can I force garbage collection to be more aggressive
and do it more often when garbage is small enough not to cause a problem?
As we need this to run in a production environment we cannot possible allow
a JVM to go for a garbage break for 30 seconds
Any insight or help is greatly appreciated.

My application uses Form-based authentication.

However, I would like to be able to have a request
from a client automacally log in without their seeing the
form by passing the userid/password with an HTTP request. 

I thought I saw one time some syntax like:

  http://myhost?user=someone&password=base64pwd/.

Is there some way to set the userid and password in
the header from a page (genrated by a JSP) sent
from the server to the client
so that the login occurs silently (e.g. a page with just
javascript that does an automatic submit or a redirect
from the server)?

Bug in tag in server.xml

[Donie Kelly]

Hi all

 

I want to use an alias in the host section
of server.xml but if I use the alias o2 it returns
400 Bad request when I try to access it using that hostanme. If I change it to otwo
it works fine. 

 

Is it a bug that Tomcat is complaining about
the numeric bit? It’s a valid hostname? Right?

I just installed JRE 1.3.1_04 and JDK 1.3.1_04 successively.

Pointing JAVA_HOME to JDK for Tomcat 4.1.10 works fine,
setting JAVA_HOME to JRE gives the error message:

"The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly"

I found the message often in tomcat-users list but
in the context of misspellings.

In my case i can eliminate a misspelling.

So,
what makes the difference between JDK and JRE for Tomcat 4.1.10 ?

The "acceptCount" is nearly useless (unless you *really* know what you are
doing), since it only sets the TCP/IP "backlog" (which is one of those
things, that if you don't know what it is, you don't need it :).

There is a one-to-one mapping of socket connections to threads, so setting
"maxProcessors" to 20 means that Tomcat will only accept 20 socket
connections.  This could be from 20 different IPs, or much less if some
clients aren't using keep-alive.  On the other hand increasing the number of
threads doesn't really cost you anything, since the unused ones are blocked
until a request comes in.

What the "acceptCount" is doing for you is allowing each client to stack up
100 different requests in the queue.  I don't know of any client that would
even think of trying something like this, which is why it's not that useful.

What is exactly the 'response' you are sending?
If it is a table, then the browser will only display it once the whole table

RE: server.xml and configuring connection pools

[Donie Kelly]

To simulate this I have set the max and min processors to 5 and used 7
Internet Explorer instances to connect. My servlet has a 120 second delay so
that causes the connection to hold. 

I can start 5 and hold the connection open. That's what I want. However,
when I connect the sixth one, Internet exploder says that the server
returned an invalid response. I used telnet to connect to port 80 and it
says connection refused.

I am confused. I would have expected the sixth thread to sit and wait for 60
seconds (the timeout period set in server.xml) before saying that connection
refused.
Thanks

How do you test your configuration? You test with more than 20 users?
Your configuration is correct according to your explication, but does it can
really work?
If you test with a soft as LoadRunner, I think you have a simulation
scenario. What do the first 20 users after their requests are completed? Do
they launch others ones? If it's the case, Tomcat cannot have the time to
process the 100 ones in the queue.
