advise on updating some commons packages
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.24 and Struts in my web application. I've just migrated to the final release of Struts and have run into a few problems. As many of you are aware, Struts removed commons-pool and commons-dbcp from their distribution. As it turns out, the releases that they had provided in the RC (and beta) releases were newer than those shipped with Tomcat 4.1.24. In particular, many of the delegate classes supported the getDelegate() method in the newer releases. I was using those in my application as I needed to operate on the underlying ResultSet (Oracle). Now that commons-pool and commons-dbcp are not provided my application uses those provided with Tomcat but as I mentioned above getDelegate() isn't available. To fix it, I've checked out commons from cvs and rebuilt the commons-collection, commons-pool, and commons-dbcp packages and dropped them into CATALINA_HOME/common/lib replacing the packages that shipped with Tomcat. My questions are: Is this OK? What are the issues that I should be aware of? Thanks for your help Kevin. __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

faking a JNDI context
First off, Craig, I hope it is not inappropriate for me to CC you directly. There was a discussion many months ago, on this list, about the benifits of using the JNDI mechanism for getting DataSource objects. The basic code is as follows: Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context)initCtx.lookup(java:comp/env); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup(jdbc/Db); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); This requires the proper setup in the server.xml and web.xml configuration files. I've been using this for some time now and it works great. In that discussion, Craig mentioned how to use that same code when outside of the (Tomcat) servlet environment, for example in a stand-alone application. IIRC, the trick was to instantiate a DataSource and to put it into the proper context. Craig even gave sample code to do that. I'm after that code. I've searched the archive but that has proved to be difficult in that I can't narrow down the search adequately. Can anyone point me to that discussion in the archives or provide this sample code?

Re: help with DataSourceRealm in 4.1.17
Replying to my own email...
I think I can see the problem but I'm no further ahead in solving
it. It seems to be a timing issue. The realm is being configured
before the Resource is added.
In the localhost_cml_log.2002-12-19.txt file I can see the Realm
error (NameNotFoundException) before the messages for the
NamingContextListener.

Re: build.xml for Ant/JspC
There is a snippet of the build.xml that we use for jsp
compilation.
I'm lurking on this thread but wanted to ask:
What is your classpath refid=all-classpath / set to?
I've attempted JspC but I get class-not-found errors and when I
resolve them I get problems with the endorsed/sealed XML classes.
In the end I resorted to calling jspc.sh as shipped with Tomcat
as it seems to manage the classpath properly:
exec executable=/bin/sh
arg line=${catalina.home}/bin/jasper.sh/
arg line=jspc/
arg line=-webapp ${build.home}/
arg line=-webinc ${build.jspc.home}/webinc.xml/
arg line=-uriroot ${build.home}/
arg line=-p com.mydomain/
arg line=-d ${build.jspc.home}/
arg line=-v/
/exec
In answer to another posters question (sorry, I don't remember
who it was), once the above call to jspc.sh finishes I then call
the java compiler as follows:
javac srcdir=${build.jspc.home}
destdir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/classes
debug=${compile.debug}
deprecation=${compile.deprecation}
optimize=${compile.optimize}
classpath refid=compile.classpath/
include name=**/*.java/
/javac

Digested Passwords and the server/lib/catalina.jar file
I am using JDBC Realms in my application with digested passwords. Specifically the MD5 digest. I need to programatically digest passwords entered into the application for storage in the users table (when a new user is created or password changed). In the Digested Passwords section of the Realm HOWTO (Tomcat 4.1.10) there is a description of using the static Digest(). In order to use this method then I must, and I quote To use either of the above techniques, the $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar file will need to be on your class path to make the RealmBase class available. There are a few ways to do this. I could copy the catalina.jar file to my web application WEB-INF/lib directory. Or, I could copy the catalina.jar file to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. I don't like the first method as it is error prone when I move to the next version of Tomcat (and forget to replace the cataline.jar file). So I'll probably go with the second method and copy the .jar file to the common/lib directory. Should I move the file instead of copying it? Could I create a symbolic link instead of copying? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Kevin. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Digested Passwords and the server/lib/catalina.jar file
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moving a Tomcat server .jar file does not seem like a comfortable option-- it is like moving system libraries the OS depends on to a shareable area because you do not like them where they currently are located-- but if it works and you feel comfortable with it then use it. I hope this helps. I'm not sure that comfort is really a goal or option here. I'm simply following advice from the author of the Realm HOWTO (Craig?). The specific method wasn't given nor was a recomendation made so I'm trying to figure out the best way to proceed. I suppose there is a third option - extract the code from Catalina Realm and insert it into my application. I've done that on a previous contract but it didn't seem like the best solution either. Isn't this a very common problem that almost everyone on the list has faced? Well, everyone that uses Realms with MD5 digested passwords. Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

Re: Automatic start from /etc/rc3.d ???
The original message is at the end...
I'm using RedHat linux but I suspect the solution is very similar.
I've created a user tomcat4 in the already existing apache group.
Login is disabled for this user for security reasons. The
jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 directory is owned by root with 777 perms
on the work and logs subdirectories. On further thought I suppose
I could have chown'd those directories to tomcat4.apache with 755
perms.
I've created a file /etc/sysconfig/tomcat4 as follows:
-%--
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0
export CATALINA_BASE=/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3
export CATALINA_HOME=$CATALINA_BASE
-%--
This gets referenced/sourced in the init script which is
named /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4. It is heavily based on
the httpd init script. It doesn't do status yet and the locking
hasn't been tested but it seems to work ok otherwise.
I then run 'chkconfig --add tomcat4' to install it in the proper
runlevel directories. There may also be a problem with the
order on shutdown but I'm not sure. I think I might be trying
to shutdown postgresql before tomcat which ends up blocking, so
the shutdown fails. At least, I think that is what happens. YMMV.
I ask one favour. If you improve upon this script then please post
your changes as there has been a real lack of this sort of tomcat
infrastructure postings. Now, I'm just as guilty since I meant to
post this long ago but ended up forgetting...

Hi all,
Using SOLARIS 2.8, Tomcat 4.0.2 on a SUN 220R Server
Well my Tomcat engine is runnin' under a special user, let's say
wildcat.
I'm looking for a way to automatically start this engine at system
boot, like i do with Apache.
Apache has a special way - start by root and change user to handle the
processes - to do the trick, but not Tomcat.
Does any one knows about a restriction to use smth like su wildtiger -c
'$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh'...
Any suggestions welcome.

RE: tomcat/apache with ALIASES (Was canonical names)
I've run into a similar problem and never came to a solid conclusion. I had setup mod_webapp connector between Apache/Tomcat and whenever I accessed dynamic content my URL would get rewritten to the value of the ServerName (in httpd.conf). I think it has something to do with UseCanonicalName setting (also in httpd.conf) but I'm really not sure. I didn't have any Host settings (in server.xml); I didn't even have a Context setting and just let Tomcat autoload my application. I suppose this doesn't help much but I wanted to add a data point.

Re: log analysis tools
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 07:03:13 -0800 (PST) From: Lauren Commons [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: log analysis tools To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm looking for suggestions of access log analysis tools, such as webalyzer or logjack. I've just installed awstats from http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ and so far it looks great. But I'd like a servlet so that my client (who I'm building the site for) can view and update the stats on demand from a JSP/servlet based administration site I'm also building for him. It's perl based. I'm running Redhat 7.2, apache, tomcat 4, mod_perl, mod_webapp, and awstats just plugged into the /var/www/awstats directory with a slight twist of httpd.conf. The stats can be viewed using most web browsers and you can either protect access or leave it open. The stats aren't regenerated for each request. Updates by awstats are usually scheduled using cron or similar, and the documentation has suggestion for the frequency of the updates. The updates are performed by running the awstats.pl script so you could probably arrange for a servlet to do that for you on demand. at a minimum, I'd like hits by page and totals per hour/day/month, so he knows how many visitors, plus which pages they visit. I suspect this is all provided by awstats. I'm still in the process of evaluation... Up to the minute stats would be good, but I'd prefer to make the user explicitly request an update so that every call to the report jsp/html page doesn't trigger a log file analysis. see above.

YAMWQ - Yet Another Mod_Webapp Question
This may seem long but I wanted to include anything I thought was relevant. CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2-b2 JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02 I added a new Host entry to server.xml for my new website. This is the only change I made to the stock server.xml. Host name=192.168.0.52 debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true Realm className=org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm / Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=192.168.0.52_access_log. suffix=.txt pattern=common/ Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger prefix=192.168.0.52_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true/ Context path=/manager docBase=manager debug=0 privileged=true/ Context path= docBase=NewWebsite debug=0 reloadable=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger prefix=NewWebsite_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true/ /Context /Host This works great. When I point my browser at http://192.168.0.52:8080/ I get my home page and the JSP/servlet stuff works as expected. Like so many other, the next step is to set up the Warp connector so that I can front Tomcat with Apache. I changed the stock httpd.conf (RedHat 7.2 i386) by adding a new VirtualHost section to correspond to NewWebsite above. I installed mod_webapp.so from the downloaded webapp-module-1.0.2-tc402 archive. NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.52 LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so WebAppConnection warpConnection warp 192.168.0.52:8008 WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/ VirtualHost 192.168.0.52 ServerName 192.168.0.52 WebAppDeploy NewWebsite warpConnection / /VirtualHost The address 192.168.0.52 will eventually become a properly DNS-registered name www.NewWebsite.com (names and ip addresses may have been changed to protect the guilty). The intention is to have any request for http://192.168.0.52/ be redirected by mod_webapp to the NewWebsite Tomcat context. But that is not what happens. Instead, the browser sits as if it is loading something that never comes and there are no messages in any of the apache tomcat log files on the server. Not even an access log entry.

Should the above configuration work (once I get rid of the EAPI problem with my freshly compiled mod_webapp.so)? One of the strange things (to me) is the setup I've shown here is the actual production machine that I'm trying to prepare. My development/test machine OS/Apache is very similar (RedHat 7.1 instead) and a very similar setup works fine. Thanks
Re: Tomcat-as-an-NT-service startup failure
Thanks for your help Andrew. First to answer some of the points made: I didn't install the jk_nt_service component since Tomcat already worked as a service. Ie., I could start and stop it from the NT service manager. I only have one JDK installed on the machine though there is also a JRE installed. Tomcat, during installation, identified the JDK properly. I uninstalled Tomcat from the machine and started again. This time I rebooted after (almost) every step. The result: Tomcat now starts properly as a service at boot time! I don't know why there is a difference based on the number of times I rebooted during the install! Tomcat can also serve content when I access it directly on the 8080 port. I do still have one problem though. I can't get the redirection between IIS and Tomcat to work properly. I added the jakarta virtual directory (points to bin\native in the Tomcat installation directory) and I ensured that execute permission is enabled. The isapi_redirect.dll exists in the bin\native directory. I also added the ISAPI filter (isapi_redirect.dll) using the IIS manager and it shows up with the green arrow. I also enabled the AJP connector in the server.xml file and set the following in the uriworkermap.properties file: default.worker=ajp13 /*.jsp=$(default.worker) When I access a jsp page I get the following error in the IIS log files: 2002-01-07 17:55:59 192.168.0.173 - 196.32.42.57 80 GET /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll - 404 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+5.0;+en-US;+rv:0.9.7)+Gecko/20011221 I get that message and then a whole bunch of garbage (ascii barf) with some recognizable text: ATETIME_FORMATS@@AAE@ABV0@@Z ??0EXTLOG_DATETIME_CACHE@@QAE@XZ ??0HASH_TABLE@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0HTTP_HEADERS@@QAE@XZ ??0HT_ELEMENT@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0HT_ELEMENT@@QAE@XZ ??0IIS_CTL@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0IIS_SERVER_CERT@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0IIS_SERVICE@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0IIS_SSL_INFO@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0LOGGING@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0MULTISZ@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0MULTISZ@@QAE@PADK@Z ??0MULTISZ@@QAE@PBD@Z ??0MULTISZ@@QAE@XZ ??0PARAM_LIST@@QAE@XZ ??0STR@@QAE@ABV0@@Z ??0STR@@QAE@K@Z ??0STR@@QAE@PADK@Z ??0STR@@QAE@PBD@Z ??0STR@@QAE@XZ ??0TS_RESOURCE@@QAE@XZ ??0W3_DATETIME_CACHE@@QAE@XZ ??1ADDRESS_CHECK@@QAE@XZ ??1ASCLOG_DATETIME_CACHE@@UAE@XZ ??1BUFFER_CHAIN@@QAE@XZ ??1BUFFER_CHAIN_ITEM@@QAE@XZ ??1CACHED_DATETIME_FORMATS@@UAE@XZ ??1DICTIONARY_MAPPER@@UAE@XZ ??1EXTLOG_DATETIME_CACHE@@UAE@XZ ??1HASH_TABLE@@UAE@XZ ??1HTTP_HEADERS@@QAE@XZ ??1HTTP_HEADER_MAPPER@@UAE@XZ ??1HT_ELEMENT@@UAE@XZ ??1MULTISZ@@QAE@XZ ??1PARAM_LIST@@QAE@XZ ??1STR@@QAE@XZ ??1TS_RESOURCE@@QAE@XZ ??1W3_DATETIME_CACHE@@UAE@XZ ??

Repost: taglib and rtexprvalue problem/bug
I posted this the other day but no one responded. I've since moved from Tomcat 4.0-b7 to 4.0-rc1 and the problem still exists so I thought I would try again... I have one jsp that jsp:include's another and augments the request parameters using jsp:param. The included jsp uses a taglib tag with the rtexprvalue attribute set to true.

Re: Repost: taglib and rtexprvalue problem/bug
Thanks, I'll make sure I properly encode things from now on. In the mean time, I removed any special characters and have only alphabetic characters in my jsp:param list and I still get: org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: /WEB-INF/jsp/od.jsp(11,53) Attribute from has no value So, I still see it as a problem with the use of an expression as the attribute value in a custom taglib tag. Kevin HaleBoyes From: Craig R. McClanahan I just answered this in the bug report, but will answer here as well since it's been raised here. Request URIs (including the query string) processed by servlet containers must conform to the requirements of HTTP. In this case, the relevant spec is RFC 2396, Section 3.2, which describes the legal syntax for query strings. In particular, characters like ':' and '=' are *reserved*, and must be URL encoded in order to be processed. This same requirement, therefore, applies to query parameters included with jsp:include and RequestDispatcher.include(). Craig McClanahan Do You Yahoo!?

servlet spec section 9.5 question
I've started looking into deploying a WAR file to
distribute my application. I used the dist target
from the sample build.xml file in the tomcat documentation
to build the WAR file itself (app.name is opf):
jar jarfile=${dist.home}/${app.name}.war
basedir=${deploy.home}/
I put the opf.war file into the webapps directory and
restarted the server and everything worked great!
I also had a look at the contents of the file and noticed
the standard META-INF directory. But,
section 9.5 of the Servlet 2.3 PFD specification says
... a META-INF directotry will be present which contains
information useful to the Java Archive tools. If this
directory is present, the servlet container must not allow
it be served as content to a web client's request
If I'm interpreting this correctly, what I tried above shouldn't
have worked since the .war file _did_ contain a META-INF directory.
I'm using RedHat 7.1 and Tomcat 4.0 RC1.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

RE: Repost: taglib and rtexprvalue problem/bug
From: Larry Isaacs Assuming your post doesn't have typo's, I think the JSP 1.2 spec still requires the inner quotes to be escaped. I don't recall that changing. Try changing: opf:orderDetail from=%= request.getParameter(from) % to: opf:orderDetail from=%= request.getParameter(\from\) % ^ ^ I have been bit by this numerous times. It never occurred to me that this would be the problem!!! You are correct and the escaping fixed it. Thanks very much, Kevin Do You Yahoo!?

FORM-based authentication question
I'm successfully using FORM-based logins in my application but I have a few questions. When a user logs in, I want to attach certain information to the session. Currently I use a filter that checks to see if the request.getRemoteUser is set (or has changed) and if so, I do a database call to get the User information, instantiate a UserClass and set it into the session. It works fine but... The filter gets called for every request but only acts when a user logs in. Sure the test (to see if anything needs to be done) is simple and fairly quick, but it is done for _every_ request. Is there a better way? I'm thinking something similar in style to the HttpSessionListener interface. Maybe an AuthenticationListener. Tomcat 4 (or any Servlet 2.3 container :) knows when a user has been authenticated (or, for that matter, when the authentication/session times out) but I don't see any way to hook into that event. The timed out session information can be had using the HttpSessionListener.sessionDestroyed() method and my application knows if, in the very rare case :-) that a user actually logs out. But notification of an authentification seems to be missing (from the spec). The HttpSessionListener.sessionCreated() method doesn't do what I want since a session is created even when a user is not authenticated. How do others attach information to the session once a user has been authenticated? Thanks, Kevin HaleBoyes Do You Yahoo!?

hiding my login.jsp

Specifically, I put the two files in the WEB-INF/jsp directory and changed the web.xml file to: form-login-page/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp/form-login-page form-error-page/WEB-INF/jsp/loginerror.jsp/form-error-page Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work?

Re: Mozilla and Tomcat
I'm coming into this discussion a bit late but wanted to add my 2c. I was running Tomcat/Catalina 4.0b6 with Mozilla 0.9.2 (on RedHat 7.1) and life was good. I upgraded to Mozilla 0.9.3 without any changes to my application and started getting problems similar to what is being discussed. I would pound (ok, click firmly) on the reload button and after several attempts, the page would load properly. I'm afraid I don't remember what page was displayed when it didn't work. I tried restarting Tomcat and Mozilla in various combinations but it didn't help. I also recompiled my application and restarted Tomcat but that didn't help either. Once I got rid of 0.9.3 and reinstalled 0.9.2 life was good again. I've since upgraded to Tomcat 4.0b7 and am staying with Mozilla 0.9.2 and life is still good. My application is a (mostly, as in 99%) Model 2 JSP/servlet application with several taglibs and beans running on the Oracle 9i database. It isn't a large application (and given that it is my first one of this sort, probably not very well written) but it did show the problem. Kevin. Do You Yahoo!?

Re: behaviour of getRequestDispatcher for bogus URLs
What should the behaviour be if I call forward() on a RequestDispatcher that (I know) doesn't exist? (Ya, ya, I get the same behaviour as if I didn't know it doesn't exist :-) For example: getServletContext(). getRequestDispatcher(/I_know_this_page_doesnt_exist.html). forward(request, response); I would expect a NullPointerException but that is not what I get. Instead, I see the following output in my browser window (Mozilla 0.92): htmlbody/body/html Or The document contains no data from Netscape 4.7. And, if I use lwp-request I get a 404 error which is reasonable. What should I get? The javadoc for ServletContext says: This method returns null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher for any reason. But I'm not sure what that reason might be given that a bogus URL doesn't seem to do it. Also, the spec doesn't say anything about bad URLs. I *like* the interesting questions :-). The answer depends on a precise understanding of what the spec says. It says that you get a RequestDispatcher for the servlet that will handle the request URI you specify. Ok, in the Dispatching Requests chapter (8) in Sevlet Spec v2.3 PFD 2, it says If no servlet can be resolved based on the given path, a RequestDispatcher is provided that returns the content for that path. and that content is a 404 error. In Tomcat, there is an implicit mapping like this: servlet-mapping servlet-name default /servlet-name url-pattern / url-pattern /servlet-mapping which says, in effect, the 'default' servlet handles *all* requests that are not mapped to anything else. Thus, there will never be a URL for which you cannot return a RequestDispatcher. So that is an implementation detail. I.E. that is how catalina implements the spec. Why does the spec allow for getRequestDispatcher to return null? Now that I've asked that, I don't actually remember seeing in the spec that is can return null. Oh yeah, in the Duke Bookstore example from Sun, they say in the source code that getRequestDispatcher() can return null. When you actually try to RequestDispatcher.forward() to this, you will get a 404 error, just as if you'd asked for it directly. Thanks, Kevin. Craig Kevin. Do You Yahoo!?

jsp mapping
First off, I'm running Tomcat 4b5 (standalone) on Linux RedHat 7.1. I've been looking at (and learning from) the Java Pet Store from Sun and have been writing some custom Taglibs for my application. I'm currently doing lists of things that use the NextFormTag and PrevFormTag extensions from a jsp file/program. These tags generate form elements to move to the next and previous pages where you specify the action of the form. Here is an example (snippet): opf:prevForm action=/cust/listorders input type=submit value=Prev name=Prev/ /opf:prevForm opf:nextForm action=/cust/listorders input type=submit value=Next name=Next/ /opf:nextForm This generates the following HTML output: form method=GET action=/cust/listorders input type=hidden name=orderlist_startIndex value=5 input type=hidden name=orderlist_next value=true input type=submit value=Next name=Next/ /form I'm having trouble specifying the action element of the form. From above, listorders is actually a JSP file. I need to provide a mapping from the actual JSP file /cust/listorders.jsp to /cust/listorders but I'm not sure how to go about it. I tried to put the following in my web.xml file but it didn't work: servlet servlet-namelistorders/servlet-name servlet-class/cust/listorders.jsp/servlet-class /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-namelistorders/servlet-name url-pattern/cust/listorders/url-pattern /servlet-mapping When I click the Next button I get the following in my browser: HTTP Status 404 - /cust/listorders The requested resource (/cust/listorders) is not available. Can anyone help? I searched the archives at mikal but didn't come up with anything that was applicable. Many thanks, Kevin. Do You Yahoo!?

(application library) ClassNotFoundException
I've been running Tomcat 4.0b5 since it was released and had the JDBCRealm
stuff working just fine. I've been using Oracle 8.1.7 (8i) on Linux RedHat
6.2. I upgraded just recently to RedHat 7.1 and Oracle 9i (9.0.1) and tried
to get my application working again but it is failing on the JDBCRealm

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver to oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver as recommended
by Oracle. In my application lib directory I made a link to the classes12.zip

RE: (application library) ClassNotFoundException
Herein lies your problem. The classes12.jar(it has to be a jar not a zip), has to be in TOMCAT_HOME/lib, not your webapps lib folder. Think of it this way. Where do you configure the JDBCRealm? In TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml. The server.xml file is parsed at startup and therefore the Realm is created before the context(s) have been loaded. Yes, of course!!! I had it in my head ... but this is the way I did it before but I had forgotten that I had copied the classes111.jar (for 8i) into the server/lib directory. So, this leads me to a follow up question. I know that I've got the jar file in the server/lib directory, is there any way to use that from my application. If not then I have to have the exact same jar file in my WEB-INF/lib directory to use Oracle JDBC in my application. Thanks very much for your help, Kevin. Do You Yahoo!?

RE: (application library) ClassNotFoundException
From: Michael Wentzel So, this leads me to a follow up question. I know that I've got the jar file in the server/lib directory, is there any way to use that from my application. If not then I have to have the exact same jar file in my WEB-INF/lib directory to use Oracle JDBC in my application. You could always alter you startup script to so that the TOMCAT CLASSPATH contains the fully qualified oracle jar. Ok that works, but is that the right thing to do? K. Do You Yahoo!?

-security flag and (oracle) JDBC realms
I've downloaded the 4.0b5 release and noticed the warning/suggestion to start
running with the -security flag. So, I did just that. I also uncommented the
Oracle-based JDBCRealm Realm element (and commented out the Memory based
realm). Tomcat wouldn't start since it couldn't find the driver so I made
a symbolic link (running on RedHat Linux 6.2) in the
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory to the classes111.jar file from the
Oracle distribution. Is that where the Oracle JDBC driver should be put? I
also tried it in $CATALINA_HOME/lib but that didn't work.
Once the driver was found I had to make a change to the Realm entry itself.
It has
connectionURL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ntserver:1521:ORCL?user=scott;password=tiger
so I changed the server, SID, username, and password to suite my installation
but Tomcat complained with
java.sql.SQLException: invalid arguments in call
After looking at the JDBCRealm.java source code it seams that it needs the
connectionUser and connectionPassword attributes to be defined (it puts them in
the Properties instance to pass to the connect() call from the open() method).
So I removed the
?user=...;password=...
portion of the connectionURL attribute and added the required two.
Things were shaping as Tomcat can now find the JDBC driver and the Oracle
driver isn't complaining about the connection information. But now I'm getting
another error and this is where
my inexperience with Java security model hinders me. I'm getting the following
exception when Tomcat starts:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission
localhost resolve)

So I had a look at the catalina.policy file but I'm really not sure what I need
to add. It seems that a DNS resolution is attempted but the security system
denided it. I found the entry:
// These permissions apply to the servlet API classes
// and those that are shared across all class loaders
// located in the common directory
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/common/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
I thought I could add a similar entry like:
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/common/lib/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
but that didn't work.
I would like to start running with the -security flag but this will obviously
stop me in my tracks.
Any help would be appreciated,
Kevin.

Re: -security flag and (oracle) JDBC realms
It seems I'm answering my own questions. I poked around a bit more
in the Tomcat/Catalina documentation and found stuff on realms that helped
a bit.

a symbolic link (running on RedHat Linux 6.2) in the

A symbolic link didn't work at all. Makes sense I guess. So I copied the
classes111.jar file from Oracle into the $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib directory.
I'm getting the following exception when Tomcat starts:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied

I added the following to the catalina.policy file:
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/server/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission localhost:1521, connect;
};
And that did it. Next I have to figure out how to seed (for now) my users
table with MD5 passwords. Any help there would be welcome.

RE: FORM-based login questions
Thanks for your help. I've been browsing the archives for this list and have noticed that the question about the mis-redirect from the direct-access to the login.jsp comes up fairly often. I'm wondering (haven't tried anything yet) if I can set up the redirection manually if the login page is accessed directly. Maybe by adding an appropriate header field in the request... I wonder if Sun lurks on this list and acts on any of these (seemingly) short comings? I looked at the Tomcat source code for an answer about protecting the login.jsp file/form itself. Tomcat serves it up even if it is in a protected url path. I haven't tried it but I think that's what the code says. Thanks again for your help. Kevin. -Original Message- Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 14:50:36 -0700 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: JULIEN,TIMOTHY (HP-NewJersey,ex2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FORM-based login questions Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. You are right that the spec doesn't say what to do when a login form is accessed directly. This is why Tomcat doesn't know what to do. Two things: a) don't let users access login form directly. Not sure what happens in Tomcat if you protect the login form. At least you can remove all links to the login form in your app. This is actuallythe point behind login forms - so you don't have to worry about it in your app, it just happens by magic. b) the spec needs to change to handle the case where a login form is directly accessed by a client. My personal view is a welcome file should be returned. If there isn't one, then a 404 should occur. 2. there is no logout mechanism in Servlet. Your solution is i think good. 3. you could use a filter that runs before every servlet which does this work for you -Original Message- Do You Yahoo!?

FORM-based login questions
I've managed to get FORM-based login to work but I've got a few questions regarding it. I have an application that has three different roles: customer, administrator, and retailer. They will have access to their own part of the overall application - generally, the customer will access jsp's and servlets in the /ft/cust resource collection. Similarly for the admin and retailer roles. My web.xml file contains the following: security-constraint web-resource-collection web-resource-nameAdmin Functions/web-resource-name url-pattern/admin/*/url-pattern /web-resource-collection auth-constraint role-nameltadmin/role-name /auth-constraint /security-constraint security-constraint web-resource-collection web-resource-nameEtailer Functions/web-resource-name url-pattern/etailer/*/url-pattern /web-resource-collection auth-constraint role-nameltetailer/role-name /auth-constraint /security-constraint security-constraint web-resource-collection web-resource-nameCustomer Functions/web-resource-name url-pattern/cust/*/url-pattern /web-resource-collection auth-constraint role-nameltcust/role-name /auth-constraint /security-constraint login-config auth-methodFORM/auth-method form-login-config form-login-page/login.jsp/form-login-page form-error-page/loginerror.jsp/form-error-page /form-login-config /login-config My tomcat-users.xml file has the users and roles defined appropriately: user name=lftcustpassword=troles=ltcust / user name=lftadmin password=t roles=ltadmin / user name=lftetailpassword=troles=ltetailer / As I said, this is working but I did have a few question. First, the context for the application is /ft and I'm running Tomcat 4.0b3 on a RedHat linux 6.2 box. You'll notice that the root of the application is not protected so if a browser is pointed to http://localhost:8080/ft/index.jsp it is served up without a username/password prompt. If I try to go to the /ft/cust/index.jsp URL then my login.jsp form is presented (user logs in and is redirected to the /ft/cust/index.jsp location). If I access the URL http://localhost:8080/ft/login.jsp directly, right from the start, I get the login form presented. If I login with a correct username and password I get the following error displayed in my browser window: HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request and the URL is: http://localhost:8080/ft/j_security_check It's almost like the FORM authentication handler doesn't know where to go after the login suceeds. Is there anything I can do about this? The Java Servlet Specification 2.3 document doesn't describe how this should be handled. Along a similar line. Say my /ft/index.jsp page has a link to login (/ft/login.jsp) and a user takes it. Once the user is authenticated, how can I direct them to a particular page (as the next page from the login form)? Another question. How do I logout? What I do right now is have a logout.jsp page that calls % session.invalidate(); % but is this the proper way of achiving a logout? Yet another question. I would like to attach some information (ie, an instance of a Java class) to the session once the user is authenticated. It will contain things like the user id and name from the database. Is there any way of doing this? I suppose I could have code in all my servlets and jsp files that builds the instance and attaches it to the session if getRemoteUser() returns not-null and the session information isn't bound. This is tedious though and requires duplicated code in every servlet or jsp that follows a login. Again, I don't see anything in the Servlet spec. Actually, I consider this to be a bit of a short-coming (if you can't do it) in the servlet spec. Thanks for the help, Kevin. Do You Yahoo!?

tomcat and naming
I'm trying to get a JNDI example running but I have run into trouble.
I'm using tomcat 4.0b3 on a RedHat Linux 6.2 box with JDK 1.3.0_02
I've created a servlet that tries to get the InitialContext in the init()
method but I always
get an exception when I run it. Here is the servlet:
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.NameNotFoundException;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class NamingServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void init() throws ServletException
{
DataSource datasource = null;
InitialContext ic = null;
String DATASOURCE_NAME = java:comp/env/jdbc/NamingDataSource;
try
{
ic = new InitialContext();
}
catch (NamingException ne)
{
throw new ServletException(Naming Exception while
instantiating an Initial
Context:\n + ne.getMessage());
}
try
{
datasource = (DataSource)ic.lookup(DATASOURCE_NAME);
}
catch (NameNotFoundException ne)
{
throw new ServletException(NamingNotFound Exception while
looking up +
DATASOURCE_NAME + :\n + ne.getMessage());
}
catch (NamingException ne)
{
throw new ServletException(Naming Exception while looking up
+
DATASOURCE_NAME + :\n + ne.getMessage());
}
}
}
I copied the jndi.jar from catalina into my source lib directory. I'm using
Oracle 8.1.7
javax.sql package for the DataSource classes but I don't think this is
important since I'm
not even making it that far. Here's the exception I get when I access the
mapped URL
of http://localhost:8080/naming/naming :

where to
go from there.

tomcat, JNDI naming, and OracleDataSource
I don't know if my original message made it to the list yet. I received the
following error when I tried to send a question to tomcat-user list:
- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(reason: 550 User unknown)
I'm not sure why it redirected to namezero.com. Hope this one makes it!
I'm trying to get a JNDI example of my own working - the one in the example
context works fine. I originally wrote because I couldn't even get an
IntialContext instantiation to work. I solved that by making sure the
naming.jar file was in my application-context classpath. Actually, I hope the
first message didn't make it to the list!
Anyway, here's the problem. In my code, I instantiate an InitialContext
and then do a lookup for a DataSource (connection factory). The lookup
fails with the following exception:

I'm at home right now so I don't have the code in fron of me but it is
basically as follows (with the naming exceptions caught and turned into

import javax.sql.*;
public void init( ServletConfig config ) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
