Tomcat and Apache Basic Authentication
I have a box where Apache's basic authentication is working fine, via directives in httpd.conf or an .htaccess file in the selected directory. However, when the selected directory is located under the webapp context directory, Apache serves it up without any prompting for any username and password, no 401 response header, nada. It's as if the URL to any webapp bypasses Apache's authentication modules and sends the request straight to the connector. I'm using Webapp (I know, I know). Is there a special setting to make Webapp obey Apache's authentication system? Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated. -- Eugene Lee http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tomcat security?
Anyone want to discuss hardening Tomcat servers? Hacking Contest Threatens Web Sites By George V. Hulme, InformationWeek Updated Wednesday, July 2, 2003, 3:00 PM EDT A hacking contest slated for this weekend could produce a rash of Web-site defacements worldwide, according to a warning issued Wednesday by security companies and government Internet security groups. The hacker defacement contest is expected to kick off on Sunday.

mysql connection pooling problem
I'm having a really odd problem connecting to a local MySQL server. If
I use java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(), it works perfectly fine.
But when I try to use a connection pool:
http://www.mysql.com/articles/connection_pooling_with_connectorj.html
it errors out:
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'
I've tried moving the MySQL driver to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib,
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, and even my webapp's WEB-INF/lib. The results
are still the same.
I've followed the often-recommended Tomcat 4.1 documentation to no avail.
Here's what my box is running:
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p3
Java 2 SDK 1.3.1_09
Jakarta-Tomcat 4.1.27
MySQL Connector/J 3.0.8
I've attached my server.xml, my webapp's web.xml, and a test page
test.jsp to demonstrate the error. BTW, before it throws the exception
on the getconnection(), the page output is:
con1 works!
DS lookup OK!
I appreciate any suggestions. Much thanks in advance.

Re: mysql connection pooling problem
Hi James,
I tried inserting the into , no effect.
But thanks for catching the typo in my JSP code in the lookup() line.
Unfortunately, this had no effect either. I still get the infamous
"Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'" error... hurmmm...
Any suggestions from others are appreciated too! Anyone?

Thanks Steve. An earlier response mentioned the same typo, and I've
already fixed it. But I still get the same error message.
: Thus, I've attached my example for you to compare. Note, DBCP

Yep, I've got all those JARs in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
