Re: war deployment and jsp pre-compilation
Hi Reinhard, Using TC 4.1.24+ you can use ant to first run JspC and deploy the resulting WAR using the manager app. You can find more info here: http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/buildmanagement-using-ant-howto.html Johannes Reinhard Nägele [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10.07.2003 15:38 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject war deployment and jsp pre-compilation We deploy our application as war file with the manager. unpackWars is set to false. Is it possible to deploy pre-compiled JSPs with this approach? I guess this would imply that we'd have to have a context.xml in our war file specifying that Tomcat should load the compiled JSP classes from the war file instead of from its working directory. Can this be done? Reinhard - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: performance
Hi Mark, *) One BIG performance improvement is to use a Filter to ZIP your HttpServletResponses. You can find a good example with TC 4.1.24 in the examples (compressionFilters). You can save lot's of network bandwidth and increase the server throughput (e.g. 200KB page size gets compressed to 14KB using the compressionFilters) (works only for browser that accept zip/gzip encoding, but most already do) *) You can find more info on using JSPC with Ant as I recently posted: http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/buildmanagement-using-ant-howto.html Johannes Mark F [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08.07.2003 20:35 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject performance Running Tomcat 4.0.6 on Solaris 8 Interested in improving performance, any tips or information would be appreciated.

Some thoughts on memory consumption and gc
Hi there, I've made some tests with the gc and the -Xms and -Xmx settings. Suppose I have a list generated from a database with a size of 10.000 records with an average of 200 bytes each. This gives 2 MB data volume. *) If you have 128 MB heap and 64 MB stack memory assigned, against which will the memory consumption count? *) According to my experiements Runtime.availableMemory will give me the heap size. How can I determine the stack size (without using a profiler) *) Given the 2 MB memory consumption per request, does this effectively mean that the server will be able to support a maximum of 64 concurrent requests? *) To my mind it seems that the MVC approach doesn't come in very handy here, the only solution would be to split the list into smaller parts. Anyway, right at the time one passes control from the Servlet (Controller) which invoked the model and filled it to the view (jsp), we'll have a lot of memory allocated per request. *) Has anybody practical experience with Garbage collector tuning? Currently it seems my gc may come in too late and this will result in OutofMemoryExceptions (of course I close all database connections properly and always use finally to free Connections). Does anybody have ideas how to trace such issues? (I already tested with Borland Optimizeit and no SQL or Oracle objects lurk around in memory longer than needed). I've previously programmed with many other programming languages, and never leaked memory or had any memory issues (ok not to mention C, but there you have full memory control and responsibility). With Java memory issues are always hard to track but occur frequently in load tests. Has anybody tips available how to keep track of memory consumption easily. Any input is highly appreciated, Johannes
Sharing Session data between Contexts - HOWTO
Hi there, I've just set up a HOWTO describing how to share session data (=session-based Java objects) between Contexts http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html I described how to share the Sessionid between two different Contexts and how to store and retrieve the shared session data from the central Context. Removing the session data by implementing the HttpSessionListener interface brushes things up. I missed out the part about persisting shared session data using XML or JDBC with serialization/deserialization techniques as used with Apache Axis for XML or JDO for JDBC databases. If anybody wants to share his code or has different ideas: welcome! Suggestions are welcome as well, Johannes

RE: Tomcat 4.1.18-4.1.24 causes standard tag to fail

Simply replacing the absolute URI (which BTW points nowhere at the sun website) with a relative URI: %@ taglib prefix=c uri = /WEB-INF/c.tld % and supplying the c.tld file (below) solved the whole issue easily. It has the additional advantage you know what's really in the tld, not only a generic absolute uri pointing nowhere. And... you can use ant to run JSPC!

Thx alot Johannes Joe Sam Shirah [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05.04.2003 19:41 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Tomcat vs. JBoss Hi Johannes, There is no Tomcat versus JBoss issue. JBoss is a J2EE container which, per the spec, includes a servlet engine. The standard JBoss download includes Jetty, but there is also one that includes Tomcat. So the real issue, if you want to have one, is Jetty versus Tomcat. We've used Jetty ( with JBoss ) because it started life as an HTTP server, with servlet/JSP functionality included as time went on. It allows us to avoid the mod_jk/connector business one sees all the time in questions on this list and also avoids the Apache - servlet engine handoff; we've seen good performance.. JBoss is pretty much a full fledged J2EE engine, not just an EJB container. The J2EE RI is not authorized for a production environment, so there also is no JBoss versus J2EE RI issue. See the RI license, which says: for the sole purpose of designing, developing and testing your Java applets and applications (Programs) So, the issue is between other J2EE application servers and JBoss. In any event, while it is my understanding that Tomcat 4.x and 5.x versions begin to focus on performance ( anyone feel free to jump in ), the J2EE RI makes no performance claims at all, being designed to show how a J2EE server should work with applications - a *Reference Implementation* - rather than mandate or perform any optimal internal operations.

partially updating a WAR file using manager app??
hi there, I'm using a bunch of JSPs for each form and view inside a web application. Currently I compile them using ANT and JSPC and then package them into a WAR file. This WAR-file gets deployed using ANT at the tomcat server. However, if I only change one JSP, it would be desirable to update only this JSP, instead of uploading the whole WAR file and putting the whole application down for a moment. Has anybody solved this problem using the manager app? Or would it make sense to put the one updated JSP directly into the /work/Standalone/localhost/myapp folder? Is this a feature to hope for in Tomcat 5? Does any J2EE container successfully solve this problem? thx alot Johannes
RE: partially updating a WAR file using manager app??
Hi Yoav, I understand this definition, but am not a 100% satisfied with it. Hmm. Maybe here the J2EE specification of Sun is not sufficient. Shouldn't there be some way to add templates or graphics or JSPs on the fly (which are more layout information = view part of the MVC model)? I'm a bit puzzled because adding a form (JSP) in my my forms application requires a complete reboot of the application, which takes up to 10 seconds via a remore deploy using ant. That doesn't sound much, but I cannot afford telling my customer, because they add new JSPs frequently (5-10 forms a day or so). So I think there should be an incremental update possibility for WAR files, maybe someone will pick this up some day :) thx alot Johannes Shapira, Yoav [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03.04.2003 15:55 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject RE: partially updating a WAR file using manager app??

RE: partially updating a WAR file using manager app??
Hi Yoav, BTW - Let's say portability here is not my primary goal here. What about extending the manager task so that if there are differences in the /web/ folder (i.e. static web content) to allow to access the /work/ directory directly and put the JSP or graphic or whatever directly there. Same would go for classes or libs. What would you recommend me to do to extend the manager app? Where should I start? Can you name me the source files I could look into - and how could I enhance the manager app while making it still compatible with future changes? BTW - I also have some trouble with the JSPC, it doesn't allow for JSPs with the same name - I already posted here twice but haven't got any response yet.

JNDI connection pooling maximum connections exceeded - Tracking?
HI there, I'd like to know what professional developers do when the maximum number of connection in a connection pool has been reached. What should be done with requests that don't get a connection? Should the max connection set to a very high number hoping that the number of requests served concurrently will be lower? Is it a way to set to -1, thus no limit is active? I think no web application wants to print out maximum number of connections exceeded. please try again later. I for myself would prefer to have a debug log or so to track if the number of concurrent connection has some peaks to at least know what the current maximum of concurrent connections is. I wonder why this is not part of the dbcp.commons package. Shouldn't connection tracking become a part of it? thx alot Johannes
RE: monitoring web apps
Hi there, I usually track the memory consumption of each request using a debug info which prints the free memory available. Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime(); long freeMem = r.freeMemory(); System.out.println(free memory: + freeMem); I think packaging this into a memory tracking module for all requests served could be quite informative for a developer. Personally I think it's a fundamental weakness of Java that you don't have a String.getMemoryConsumption() method or something like that. That would make it much easier to track memory consumption. However, the garbage collector seems to run at quite undetermined intervals, because after ten requests in a row the free memory goes up again. Does anybody know how to configure the garbage collector for Tomcat?

Using a profiler and some load/stress tests, you can profile one application at a time to discern its resource consumption and behavior under stress. But getting this information at runtime, without a profiler, is difficult at best and basically intractable in common setups. Part of the problem is it all comes down to the basic java data types, e.g. String and int. You can see that there are 1 Strings in the heap, and with a profiler you can tell where those Strings were created, but you can't tell how much total memory they take.

RE: partially updating a WAR file using manager app??
Hi Yoav/Craig, I'll take a look at the entry points you gave me - maybe I'll find my way through them. Of course I'll keep you posted if I get useful results... However, I still think it's a fundamental lack of the WAR approach not being able to incrementally add functionality. I originally come from the Lotus Notes/Domino world, where adding a form or a view is a snap. I try to design my J2EE apps this way, but the final displaying component according to MVC is a JSP. So I have to add a JSP whenever I want to add a form or view (Unless I have a generic component). Craig: It's always that way that you add a form, test it locally and then you want to deploy it to production. This could occur quite frequently, and putting down the application just to add another component is really not cool. Who wants to put down a whole app just to add a single JSP or GIF file? == I'll rethink my approach, but I think images and static stuff should be addable during runtime. This stuff isn't included in EXE files anyway, it is usually stored outside the basic application. I think WAR files should have the same approache. thx so far Johannes
RE: JNDI connection pooling maximum connections exceeded - Tracking?
Hi Mike It seems poolman is currently considerably exceeding the functionality of dbcp. Can you post a link where I can find it?

I set the upper limit as a soft limit (I'm using poolman, not dbcp). Since the database doesn't seem to care when I exceed the limit (happens rarely anyway) it hasn't been an issue as of yet. However, my old connection pool did have a hard limit. What I ended up doing at that point was blocking the request until a connection was available. I had an implementation of a counting semaphore to managing the connection count. So, to the user it just looked like the request was taking a bit longer to process. I'm typically in and out of the database fairly quickly, so it didn't seem to be much of an issue. Occasionally connections would get lost, which would eventually lock the pool, so I switched to poolman. With poolman I can watch the connection pool metrics, at least to the level of being able to see the total count and connections in use.

RE: monitoring web apps
Hi Yoav, oops. I didn't line out that this kind of memory tracking is for testing locally with my dev environment to see how tomcat does when handling 100.000 records of a ResultSet or so... and when memory does show up again. Thanks for the link, I'll investigate it later... Is the JVMPI powerful enough to get used in a memory tracker for tomcat (I haven't used it yet)? Wouldn't it make sense to have a monitoring app for memory and database connections for Tomcat (i.e. dbcp/poolman functionality + jvmpi in one admin app)? thx Johannes
JSPC Precompile using Ant - unique jsp name problem
hi there, I've searched the whole forum but haven't found any definitive answer on this issue; since I'll try to repost with different language: If somebody runs JSPC using ANT to precompile all the JSPs, the precompile fails if any of the JSPs in different directories has the same name. /jsp/mydir1/index.jsp /jsp/mydir2/index.jsp == JSPC fails with a quite confusing error message, which boils down to not having unique JSP names. Uniquely naming all JSPs is probably not an option because index.jsp is quite convenient. == I've also scanned the Tomcat 4.1.24 release notes, but haven't found a fix there. Does anybody know how to fix this JSP naming problem?? Thx alot Johannes

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
You need to look at the attributes provided for the install task...
target name=catalina-install depends=compile,manager.init
description=Install application to servlet container
catalina-install
url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
config=${app.ccf}
path=${app.path} /
/target
Notice the config attribute. At build time, that resolves to a file:///
URL pointing to where the context configuration file is.
Now look at the deploy task...
target name=catalina-deploy depends=war,manager.init
description=Deploy web-app war
echo message=${app.war}/
catalina-deploy
url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
path=${app.path}
war=${app.war} /
/target
There is no config attribute. You might argue that there should be
one. File a bug on that if you think so. However, the fact is, there
isn't one now and the current mechanism here is the META-INF/context.xml
file that Tomcat looks for.

SOLVED: Preview Tomcat XML documentation locally with IE 6.0
Hi there,
Has anybody yet tried to preview a xml file from the tomcat docs locally
with MS IE?
I think this makes sense if you add some sentences and want to see the
results without ant rebuild.
There are only two minor things MS IE 6.0 complains:
*) the src and
*) the alt variables are declared twice.
If one corrects in the file tomcat-docs.xsl to logo-alt and logo-src
xsl:commentJAKARTA LOGO/xsl:comment
xsl:variable name=logo-alt
xsl:value-of select=$home-name/
/xsl:variable
xsl:variable name=href
xsl:value-of select=$home-href/
/xsl:variable
xsl:variable name=logo-src
xsl:value-of select=$relative-path/xsl:value-of
select=$home-logo/
/xsl:variable
a href={$href}
img src={$logo-src} align=left alt={$logo-alt}
border=0/
/a
and declares the XSL in the XML file:
?xml-stylesheet type=text/xsl href=tomcat-docs.xsl?
== voila! you can preview the complete XML rendered as HTML in MS IE 6.0!
cheers,

Strange naming effect when trying to compile JSP using JSPC
hi there, Imagine the following file structure for the ant build process: /jsp/firstpart/form.jsp /jsp/secondpart/form.jsp if I try to compile these jsps using jspc, they get generated as expected to /jsp-src/firstpart/form_jsp.java /jsp-src/secondpart/form_jsp.java == Then I try ant compile, but the compiler complains about having two jsps with the same name!!!

JSP Taglib resolution trouble
Hi there, If I try to compile a JSP with an absolute URI to a taglib like %@ taglib prefix=c uri = http://java.sun.com/jstl/core; % then the compiler complains: jspc: 2003-03-30 12:30:05 - ERROR-the file '\views\mylist\list.jsp' ge nerated the following general exception: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: This absolute uri (http://java.sun.com/jstl/core) cannot be resolved in either web.x ml or the jar files deployed with this application [jasper2] Error in class org.apache.jasper.JspC However, if I have this absolut URI in the static web/myfile.jsp directory, everything runs smoothly (i.e. if Tomcat compiles during runtime, it does not complain). However, if I change the absolute URI to a local URI and supply the TLD-file, everything runs fine again (i.e. JSPC is working fine): %@ taglib prefix=c uri = /WEB-INF/c.tld % Has anybody an idea why JSPC works differently to the JSP compilation during runtime? thx alot Johannes

include name=cos.jar /
include name=cos2.jar /
/fileset
/copy

However, this library listing is the only thing which distinguishes the
various build.xml files for my different webapps.
I'd prefer to have only ONE build.xml file for all of my webapps so they
all have the same structure.
How can I import a fileset like above from a separate filename?

*) ONE build.xml for all of my webapps and
*) a specific lib.xml for each of my webapps?

Jasper2 (JSPC) compiler option for WEB-INF directory?
Hi there,
I have the following file structure:
/jsp/myfile.jsp
/web/WEB-INF/web.xml
/web/WEB-INF/c.tld
When I run ant jspc, it looks for the web.xml file in the

uriroot=${basedir}/jsp
webXmlFragment=${basedir}/webinc.xml

include name=cos2.jar /
/fileset
== but since I'm not yet an ant expert, I don't know where to start to
extend the FileSet datatype of ant. Anybody any ideas?

be required more often, so I think it would make sense to extend the
FileSet datatype.
Has anybody a good idea where to start?

I'd prefer to have only ONE build.xml file for all of my webapps so they
all have the same structure.
How can I import a fileset like above from a separate filename?
(so I can have
*) ONE build.xml for all of my webapps and

thx alot

Hi Johannes,
why not coding your own task ? reading a single filename then copying
files is an easy task to be coded in Java isn't it ?

Re: Living without a Context - deploying an application using manager app

SOLVED: Re: Living without a Context - deploying an application using manager app
Hi Jacob, Thank you for your detailed description. I'm now using the ant deploy/ant undeploy task successfully and it works as expected. I replaced all file-system access with .getClass().getResourceAsStream() and it works smoothly now. Also, the ant install command works correctly with the same configuration (with META-INF/context.xml), which is quite cool because I'm able to use the same file structure for development and production. Given my current ant/tomcat configuration I think a multi-release environment is definitely possible and easy to handle if one has the right tools and scripts available (e.g. I'm recently migrated from apache soap to axis with multiple releases). I'd like to contribute my current configuration experiences and update the docs for the other users - how can I do this? thx Johannes
Re: Where to store files in a portable app?
Hi Jacob, I think the decision about where the locally stored data should go should be done at build time. I'd suggest to use two directories within the ant tree structure: /web/// stores the static data independent of location /web-production/ // stores the config data which should be used in production /web-preproduction/ // stores the config data which should be used in pre-production mode (testenvironment) /web-development // stores the config data which should be used in development context.xml could store the entry path of the locallay stored data /web-development/META-INF/context.xml // stores entry point and urls for development /web-preproduction/META-INF/context.xml // stores entry point and urls for pre-production /web-production/META-INF/context.xml // stores entry point and urls for production when I build I could say ant -Dtarget=production ant -Dtarget=preproduction ant -Dtarget=development and have the ant task copy the proper configuration files. This way I could easily test in preproduction and then deploy the same webapp, with only minor context configuration changes (and thus minimized error probability). What do you think about this approach? Johannes
RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
Hi Jacob, It seems as if I was wrong with ant install test. I now undeployed and installed, but the Context information got lost. Where do I have to put the context.xml in the /build/ directory?

Any suggestions?? thx Johannes

Different behaviour of JSPC using ant/using tomcat itself

Switching between releases during runtime

2.) JNDI environment entries can be stored in web.xml
3.)
web.xml file:
env-entry
env-entry-nametestvaluewebxml/env-entry-name
env-entry-valuevalue1/env-entry-value
env-entry-typejava.lang.String/env-entry-type
/env-entry
4.)
Lookup using Java Code:
try {
Context globalctx = new InitialContext();
String envEntry = null;
envEntry = (String)
globalctx.lookup(java:comp/env/testvaluewebxml);
out.println(envEntry testvaluewebxml: + envEntry);
} catch (Exception e) {
out.println(liCannot get env-entry on JNDI + e + /li);
return;
}
I didn't find such an example in the JNDI resources howto
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html)
, but I think it would be cool to have such one.
p.s. Does anybody know how to access e.g. java:comp/env/ to read all
environment entries available? Maybe even a code sample to share??

Re: Tomcat server.xml context-specific configuration
Hi Andoni, I've got to manage tomcat in production with 99% availabilty, so I cannot afford a stop/start of Tomcat just to perform a minor update or bugfix. I want Tomcat in general run continuously. So I have to avoid server.xml and its neighbourhood (/webapps/*.xml) where possible to achieve this goal. I think every application will have to achieve this goal at a certain point (=production level). I'd suggest to set up a code of practice , i.e. what has to be done to achieve high availability of Tomcat. My first suggestion at this point would be to deprecate the usage of server.xml for parameter storage and encourage e.g. environment-variables (env-entry) in web.xml of each Context. This makes parameter config reloadable using ant/the manager application. Does anybody know who could be in charge of this configuration issues and whom I could tell/discuss this idea with? I think this topic is going to be important for every production quality tomcat server out there, which has to run frequent updates of functionality (webapps). thx Johannes Andoni [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28.03.2003 13:36 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Tomcat server.xml context-specific configuration I like putting everything possible into servlet.xml even though that means restarting tomcat.

Re-reading of web.xml during a reload with manager app
hi there,
in the Manager App howto, paragraph on Reload an existing Application
the following is quoted:
NOTE: The /WEB-INF/web.xml web application configuration file is not
reread on a reload. If you have made changes to your web.xml file you must
stop then start the web application.
However, after I stop and start a web application after I made changes to
the env-entry in its web.xml file, the new value doesn't show up.
After stopping and starting Tomcat as a whole, it changes in env-entry
values show up perfectly.
Is this a bug?
Excerpt from web.xml:
env-entry
env-entry-nametestvaluewebxml/env-entry-name
env-entry-value1/env-entry-value
env-entry-typejava.lang.String/env-entry-type
/env-entry
Code section to read testvaluewebxml:
try {
Context globalctx = new InitialContext();
String envEntry = null;
envEntry = (String)
globalctx.lookup(java:comp/env/testvaluewebxml);
out.println(envEntry testvaluewebxml: + envEntry);
} catch (Exception e) {
out.println(liCannot get env-entry on JNDI + e + /li);
return;
}
Can anybody else verify this behaviour? What do I have to have changes in
env-entry in web.xml show up without restarting tomcat as a whole (what I
wanted to avoid to allow high availability).
thx.

hi there, here are my findings after some experimentation with the ant deploy task of the manager app. *) a complete application can be easily built into a WAR file using ant *) this WAR file can be easily deployed using ant deploy task *) once deployed onto the server, the application is running with the docbase located somewhere under the manager directory: ant list - produces: /dbadmin:running:1:F:\tomcat-4.1.18\work\Standalone\localhost\manager\dbadmin.war *) there the application is living - without a context - thus, also without any JNDI resources etc. defined in server.xml for a context dbadmin with docbase dbadmin.

Reloading context-specific InitParameter
hi there, is it possible to reload context-specific Initialization parameters stored in server.xml on the fly? if I deploy a new webapp to Tomcat, I always have the problem, that the Context InitParameters are not available - only after a restart of Tomcat, the application runs as expected. Is there any way to reload the InitParameters of a context after deploying a new webapp? thx Johannes
Reloading server.xml with manager app
Hi there, I've split the server.xml file as follows: /conf/server.xml = contains the primary configuration /webapps/contextname.xml = contains the context specific configuration However, when I try to reload an app with the manager app it seems as if the information in contextname.xml is not re-read. Also if I simply deploy a new application it seems that it has troubles reading the information out of the contextname.xml. Re-Reading everything in the /webapps/contextname-folder works perfectly. Does anybody know how to reload info from server.xml or it's context-specific files? Wouldn't it make sense to include re-reading the context-specific part of the server.xml file for each context which gets reloaded??? Thx alot Johannes
SOLVED: Re: Jasper Compilation - Vol. 2 (continued from WebappPrecompilation using Ant and Jasper howto)
hi all,
I've now found the solutions using some threads in this forum, but want to
share the complete solution here:
*) jspc-task: all *.jsp files in /jsp will be compiled into the /src
directory
*) merge-descriptors-task: /jsp/web-template.xml will be used for merging
the temporary webinc.xml into the real web.xml
place a @WEBINC@ into the web-template.xml between the end of the
servlet and the start of the servlet-mapping section.
*) now both will get compiled and put into the build-directory correctly.
This means using the build.xml below you can do a compile, install and run
scenario.
ant compile
ant install
is all you have to do at the commandline.

docs Static documentation files to be copied to
the docs subdirectory of your distribution.
src Java source code (and associated resource

Fw: Jasper Compilation with Ant including custom taglibs
To make the picture more complete:
it seems that the trouble the Jasper compiler doesn't find the
/WEB-INF/web.xml file.
But how can I tell it where to find it (simply creating it directly under
my project directory didn't work)?
If I include other custom taglibs with reference to e.g.
/WEB-INF/forms.tld it doesn't find them as well.
So the question is:
How can I tell the Jasper Compiler where to find the /WEB-INF/web.xml or
/WEB-INF/forms.tld.

RE: Reloading shared/lib JAR files?
Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much for the detailed outline.
The reason why I wanted to use a central library was that I wanted to
prevent different versions of my core libs haunting the contexts of the
Tomcat server. So you're suggested solution would be to leave it up to
the separate contexts to update and use the newer lib files.
The only drawback of this terms of use is, that you have one component n
times installed across the various contexts of the Tomcat. This was what I
wanted to avoid
So to use both ideas, what about the following:
*) central repository of all versions of all helper jar files
/{$tomcat_home}/repository/v1.jar
/{$tomcat_home}/repository/v2.jar
*) each application context picks the version it likes to use
/{$tomcat_home}/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/link to v1.jar
/{$tomcat_home}/webapps/myapp2/WEB-INF/lib/link to v2.jar
Do you think the approach outlined above makes sense?
I think this would reduce the scattered library version troubles and it
would even be possible to search all the contexts to find out which
versions are used.
Thx for your feedback

RE: Reloading shared/lib JAR files?
Also, from a release management standpoint, the risk is the dependency of
all the apps on the specific versions of the jars in shared/lib. Meaning,
if one app needs a newer version of a shared component placed in
shared/lib,
then all are forced to upgrade as well. Timing on upgrading the other
apps
is not usually so helpful, particularly when needing even a small coding
change!
It is typically better to use the source control tool to integrate
specific
versions of shared components into its own codeline - so the codeline is
complete without external dependencies (reproducible builds from the
source
tree). If it is a 3rd party component, check-in the distributables and
integrate/merge the right versions of them into your different product
codelines. If it is your own component, do the same - check-in the
distributables. For deployment, as part of the normal
build/package/deploy
process, place the shared components in WEB-INF/lib so each app can have
its
own version.
As Tim says, this would rethink the design and solve the problem by not
having anything in shared/lib. At the same time, eliminating a potential
cross-application dependency problem.
Disclaimer - there may be something in your environment that forces you to
use shared/lib (or possibly never even have an upgrade problem), whether
technical (can't think of much other than large footprint jars) or
political ;-)
Your mileage may vary.

If you redeploy jars into /shared/lib - they will not be
reloaded on a
webapp reload and there is no way to reload them(except a
stop/start of
tomcat). But jars/classes in WEB-INF/ can be reloaded.
If you have jars in shared/lib that need reloaded when an webapp is
reloaded - you might need to rethink the design of those shared libs.

However, if it doesn't get reloaded after an update of

Handling release management with Tomcat
Hi there,
We have a multiple server and multiple release system using Tomcat 4.1.18.
Given the issues we have to address we want to ease updating from version
to the other without facing big risks or interoperability issues. Servers
acting as clients calling soap requests etc. should be able to stick with
lower-level releases or test beta-releases easily.
I'd propose the following procedure for dealing with multiple releases
easily:
{$TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myapp-1.0
{$TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myapp-1.1
{$TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myapp-1.2beta
{$TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myapp-1.3alpha
main application entry:
{$TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myapp
Above are the separate versions of the Tomcat Contexts of myapp.
To switch between the different versions of myapp, two options exist in my
opinion:
*) using a symbolic file system link to point to the version of myapp
which is the lead version
*) using JK to link to the proper myapp-x.x directory (only possible with
Apache/Tomcat connected with JK).
Which version do you think is preferable?
Do different options exist which make more sense?
The release management should allow to:
*) decide to still take the lower level release (e.g. 1.0) explicitly,
so clients could take the link with myapp-1.0 to do so.
*) decide to test a higher level beta release (e.g. 1.2beta)
However, the main entry focuses on the current release. Hotfixes could
be dealt with that system as well.
What do you think ?

However, it (2.0.1/2.0.2 JK) is still not working.

I think the term - should redirect to lb:lb seems to have an error, but

Any ideas?
BTW - there is a minor typo in line 367:
env-l-jkLog(env, env-l, JK_LOG_DEBUG,

should be corrected to

RE: Tomcat 4.1.18 - IIS 5.0 plugin - jk2.properties + workers2.properties
Hi Rick, My last email contained a wrong diagnosis of the problem. redirection to lb:lb is fine, because it is defined as a load balancer in my workers2.properties. However, after entering http://localhost/examples I simply get a Server not found exception using MS IE 6 (indicating there was no reply from the server), no reply with NS Navigator 7 or Opera 6. The W3SV1 could not bind instance - error message has vanished after I changed the port of IIS to 80 from . Debug: [jk_isapi_plugin.c (287)]: HttpFilterProc started Debug: [jk_isapi_plugin.c (347)]: In HttpFilterProc Virtual Host redirection of localhost : 61531072 Debug: [jk_isapi_plugin.c (356)]: HttpFilterProc [/examples] is a servlet url - should redirect to lb:lb Debug: [jk_isapi_plugin.c (422)]: HttpFilterProc check if [/examples] is pointing to the web-inf directory after this entry, no more things show up in the application log. Here's what my IIS log is showing: 21:12:40 127.0.0.1 GET /jakarta/isapi_redirector2_201.dll 200 So it seems everything is fine, but it isn't. I allowed execution access for the virtual directory /jakarta. So that's my current summary: JK 1.0 - working fine JK 2.0.1 - not working JK 2.0.2 - not working I don't know what I can do now, do you have any additional ideas what could be wrong? thx alot Johannes
SOLVED: Re: Tomcat 4.1.18 - IIS 5.0 plugin - jk2.properties + workers2.properties
Hi to all!
I finally have found the solution:
2.0.1 and 2.0.2 is now working - it seems my try to use a different name
for the redirector dll other than isapi_redirector2.dll has caused the
trouble. I thought I could use isapi_redirector2_201.dll and enter it in
the extensionUri and use it as filter in the IIS properties, but this
didn't work.
For everybody else to save hours of desperate research, I post my complete
configuration here:

Hi Rick,
I tried both fixes, but they failed. I also tried different releases
(2.0.1, 2.0.2), but none worked.
It also doesn't log properly, just fails when I look into the event viewer
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 115
Date: 10.03.2003
Time: 20:17:27

Description:
The service could not bind instance 1. The data is the error code.
For additional information specific to this message please visit the
Microsoft Online Support site located at:

Data:

I cannot fully understand why jk 1.x works so smoothly, but 2.0.2 simply
doesn't work out.
Do you know any location where I can find more info about this error?
Maybe I need a patch for IIS to fix this??
I've spent lots of hours trying to get this work, but troubleshooting this
IIS connector is much harder than programming Java :)
thx a lot for your input!

RE: Tomcat 4.1.18 - IIS 5.0 plugin - jk2.properties + workers2.properties
Here are a few differences between your configuration and mine:
1) My workers2.properties uses [shm:] instead of [shm].
2) I found that the 2.0.2 jk2 ISAPI redirector dll does not like forward
slash path syntax on Windows (for your SHM file). Try \\.

RE: Tomcat 4.1.18 - IIS 5.0 plugin
Hi all,
Thx Mark + Rick for your support.
I tried to use your recommended settings
and succeeded so far, as the green arrow is now showing after I restart
IIS.
However, I could not completely decipher
the following settings (in Mark's jk2.properties):
apr.NativeSo=${jkHome}\\bin\\Win32\\jkjni.dll
apr.jniModeSo=${jkHome}\\bin\\Win32\\jkjni.dll
What is this jkjni.dll? I could not
find it in my bin-directory of default Tomcat 4.1.18 installation.
Should I obtain it separately? Where
can I get it?
In general: I think the description
of JK2 is quite hard to understand for a JK-newbie. Why does Rick only
have one entry in his jk2.properties file and Mark has much more? Which
one is right?
Do I have to turn anything on in server.xml
to get JK2 running? Any good links???
2nd question: If I set logLevel to DEBUG,
where does it write its log entries to?
Shouldn't there be a setting for the
file name?
3rd question: Rick, you wrote your configuration
is a basic scenario, do you know a good description for more advanced scenarios?
Eventually in the event log of W2K I
still see the following error:
The service could not bind instance
1.
and the Plugin doesn't work. Does anybody
know how I can track down this error:
Screenshot of my registry entries:
Luckily, with my version 1.0 of JK POST
method is also working, so I currently have no urgent troubles with JK
1.0.
thx

RE: Tomcat 4.1.18 - IIS 5.0 plugin
Chris, Unfortunately I cannot even confirm 2.0.1 works with MY configuration. Using 1.0, everything is ok.
