Hi!
Is it really necessary to hold all active session objects in a global

I think Java uses the Locale from your operating system.
So to switch to english, you should either:

+ tell Java to use another locale via system.properties at tomcat
startup (jvm-property):
-Duser.language= -Duser.country=
-Duser.variant=

Re: JTDS help

2005-02-07 Thread Mario Winterer
I do not think, jsp compilation is the problem - well, the first request 
will last long, but after the jsp is compiled, subsequent calls will not 
be remarkable slower than executing pure compiled servlet code.
(Charles, I hope you did not measure the time for the first request only 
- which indeed includes compilation time, but for subsequent calls too).
So to me opening the connection is the major problem. Because the code 
itself contains html-output, I think using jsp is quite ok.
The code would be much cleaner, if Charles used the JSTL tag-library:

<%@ page language="java"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %>
<%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql"; %>

Ok. You're doing this in a jsp. That means Tomcat is:
1) Compiling your jsp to a servlet class.
2) Building a connection from scratch as opposed to picking up a 
pooled connection
3) Running the query.

Of these, the first one is the most expensive operation followed by 
two. If you want fast, try
doing this with a pooled connection and from compiled servlet code.

There's no real reason relating to Tomcat or jTDS that this would run

I think the main time is spent on opening the database connection!
So you better use connection pooling - then this expensive operation is 
just execute once (or at least not so often)

Re: [SOLVED] Form Auth + xml users database

2005-02-06 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
I'm happy you could solve your problem now! Seems the reason was the 
missing Realm-definition in your context.xml.

To Question 1)
Tomcat offers a separate JNDI-namespace for each web application (so if 
you have 4 web applications you will have 4 namespaces). These 
namespaces are configured in the -elements of the corresponsing 
web-applications. To define resources, you have to nest a 
-element in your -element (which should be in 
context.xml).
A resource that is defined in the namespace of a web application cannot 
be seen by other web applications (because the namespaces are separated 
from each other).
Sometimes, a resource may be required by more than one web application. 
To avoid configuring this resource several times - once per context - 
tomcat offers another namespace that is global and exists only once per 
tomcat instance. If you define a resource there, you can use it in each 
web application, that is allowed to use it.
So how can you allow a web application to use a global resource? Simply 
"link" the global resource into the local JNDI-namespace of the 
web-application! This can be done by nesting a  element in 
the  element of the web-application that should be allowed to 
use the resource. When defining a -element, you must 
specify, which global resource you want to link into the namespace 
(attribut "global"), which type the resource is that you want to link 
(attribut "type"), and which name it should have in the local namespace 
(attribut "name") - this name can be equal to the global name.

So the server.xml and context.xml hierarchy could look like the 
following (sorry for the "text-art" - use a fixed width font for "best 
results"):

+- Server
  |
  +- GlobalNamingResources
  |  +- Resource GlobResA
  |  +- Resource GlobResB
  |
  +- Service
 +- Engine
+- Realm X
+- Host www.A.org
|  +- Context /A1 (defined in context.xml)
|  |  +- ResourceLink to GlobResA, name: LocResA
|  |
|  +- Context /A2 (defined in context.xml)
|  |  +- ResourceLink to GlobResA, name: LocResA
|  |  +- ResourceLink to GlobResB, name: LocResB
|  |
|  +- Context /A3 (defined in context.xml)
| +- Resource, name LocalResA
|
+- Host www.B.org
   +- Context /B1
   |  +- ResourceLink to GlobResA, name: LocResA
   |
   +- Context /B2
  +- ResourceLink to GlobResB, name: LocResB
Question 2) If you do not want to change server.xml (e.g. because you 
want to deploy your application to a foreign server and you cannot 
modify server.xml there), you could define a local JNDI-Resource in the 
-element of your web-application instead of the 
GlobalNamingResource (simply move the resource-definition from 
 into your -element). If you do this, of 
course you do not need the  any more!
So you do not have to touch server.xml because all configurations can be 
done inside context.xml which is in the meta-inf directory of your web 
application.

I hope, my explanations where understandable!

 Tex

Re: tutorial for fast settings of Tomcat

Hi!
Adding a context.xml is a nice thing and every good web-application 
should have one, but it is not required if you just want to have a 
simple working web-application - you even do not need a web.xml!. All 
you need is a WEB-INF directory inside your context-directory. As soon 
as tomcat's auto-deploy-mechanism detects a WEB-INF directory, the 
manager-application displays the web-app ("available"-flag is "true").

Hi!
If you are already familiar with programming JSPs
and you just want to 
know what you must do to set up a web-application
that can handle JSPs - 
you're glad, because that is almost done.
Have a look at the tomcat-docu at 
http://localhost/tomcat-docs/appdev/index.html

In short:
1) create a directory below %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps
The directory you've created is the root-directory
of your 
web-application's context.
(For the next steps, I assume the name of the
directory is "test".)

2) create a directory "WEB-INF" below
%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test
This is the directory that contains all the settings
of your 
web-application.

That's it! Now you can put your jsp-files inside
your web-application's 
context directory (%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test) or
any subdirectories 
except "WEB-INF". (This is the only directory, that
is never accessible 
from outside).
You do not need to restart Tomcat if auto-deploy is
enabled (which is 
the default setting).
You can access your files using a web browser via
the url 
"http://:/test"
(if you are sitting in front of the computer, tomcat
is installed on and 
you use default installation without overriding the
port: 
http://localhost:8080/test)

3) [optional] If your JSPs need any classes or
libraries that are not 
part of the JDK or Tomcat/commons (e.g. self-written
classes etc.), do 
the following:
+ put classes inside WEB-INF/classes/
+ put libraries (.jar-files) inside WEB-INF/lib
The WEB-INF/classes directory and every jar-file
inside WEB-INF/lib will 
be in the scope of your web application's
classloader.

4) [optional] If you want to have more control over
your 
web-application, write a deployment descriptor:
Create a file "web.xml" in
%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test/WEB-INF. (your 
deployment descriptor)

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";

   

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

Re: tutorial for fast settings of Tomcat

Hi!
If you are already familiar with programming JSPs and you just want to

Have a look at the tomcat-docu at 
http://localhost/tomcat-docs/appdev/index.html

In short:
1) create a directory below %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps
The directory you've created is the root-directory of your 
web-application's context.
(For the next steps, I assume the name of the directory is "test".)

2) create a directory "WEB-INF" below %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test
This is the directory that contains all the settings of your 
web-application.

That's it! Now you can put your jsp-files inside your 
web-application's context directory (%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test) or 
any subdirectories except "WEB-INF". (This is the only directory, that 
is never accessible from outside).
You do not need to restart Tomcat if auto-deploy is enabled (which is 
the default setting).
You can access your files using a web browser via the url 
"http://:/test"
(if you are sitting in front of the computer, tomcat is installed on 
and you use default installation without overriding the port: 
http://localhost:8080/test)

3) [optional] If your JSPs need any classes or libraries that are not 
part of the JDK or Tomcat/commons (e.g. self-written classes etc.), do 
the following:
+ put classes inside WEB-INF/classes/
+ put libraries (.jar-files) inside WEB-INF/lib
The WEB-INF/classes directory and every jar-file inside WEB-INF/lib 
will be in the scope of your web application's classloader.

4) [optional] If you want to have more control over your 
web-application, write a deployment descriptor:
Create a file "web.xml" in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/test/WEB-INF. (your 
deployment descriptor)

Re: order of creation of JNDI datasource from context.xml and Filter.init() using it

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi Jeroen!
Two weeks ago I (almost) exactly did what you want to do - make 
hibernate use a JNDI-DataSource defined as a GlobalNamingResource! The 
differences: My database is Oracle and I didn't configure hibernate 
directly because I use the spring-framework in between.
I experienced problems similar than yours, but after cleaning out some 
"old" stuff it worked! Unfortunately, I do not know, what exactly the 
problem was, but I can give you some hints that may help you!

Assuming you use Tomcat 5.5, do the following
1) Skip the "factory"-attribute in your Resource-definition! It is not 
required because tomcat has a built-in connection pool and automatically 
uses it for JNDI-DataSources.
2) Define your JNDI-DataSource in the GlobalNamingContext
3) The -element in meta-inf/context.xml must specify the 
name of the global resource (attribute "global") AND the name, the 
resource should have when linked into the lokal JNDI-context (attribute 
"name"). This (internal) name must match the name specified in your 
hibernate config! I guess that's what you got wrong!

Your code:

(You specified "My Database" as internal JNDI-name, but jdbc/mydb in 
hibernate.cfg.xml!!!)

Better:

(That matches the name you used in your hibernate.cfg.xml: 
"java:env/jdbc/mydb")

4) Remove the context-definition file in conf//. At 
deployment time, tomcat copies the context.xml file from the 
meta-inf-directory of your web-application into the 
conf//-directory (and renames it to avoid conflicts).
5) The PostgreSQL-driver must be in common/lib. Make sure it is NOT in 
WEB-INF/lib too!

As I've said in top 3, I think the chief cause of your problem is the 
resourcelink-element!
(Apart from that: I've seen you wrote your own HibernateSessionFilter. I 
also did that first, but then I decided to use the 
OpenSessionInViewFilter from the spring-framework instead. It works 
great! I'm sure your filter-implementation is not the cause of your 
problems, but maybe the spring-framework is interesting to you!)

Best regards,
 Tex
Jeroen Kransen schrieb:
Hello,
My problem is so basic that I have no doubt other people have
experienced it. Still, I can't find any solutions on the web.
I want Tomcat to provide my webapp with DataSources through JNDI. I want
Hibernate to use these DataSources. Nothing exciting so far. I
configured the BasicDataSourceFactory in the META-INF/context.xml like 
this:

   
In the web.xml I put:
   
   HibernateSessionFilter
nl.kransen.mywebapp.context.HibernateSessionFilter 

   
   
   HibernateSessionFilter
   /*
   
...
   
   My database
   jdbc/mydb
   javax.sql.DataSource
   Container
   
In the hibernate.cfg.xml I make a JNDI reference to the datasource:

   
   java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb
   net.sf.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
   true
   
   
   
   

Now I created a HibernateSessionFilter that will filter any request to
the webapp and provide it with a Hibernate Session. In the init() the
Hibernate SessionFactory is configured by doing a lookup on JNDI for a
DataSource.
My problem is that Hibernate can't find the JNDI datasource:
17:44:14,745 INFO  [nl.kransen.mywebapp.context.HibernateSessionFilter]
Failed to initialize Hibernate!
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not find datasource:
java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb
Instead, I  tried to put the Datasource in the 
of the server.xml. In the context.xml I put:
 
The error I get then is:
20:31:09,550 WARN  [net.sf.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory] Could not

driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
   at
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:780) 


Instead of initializing the Hibernate SessionFactory in the Filter's
init() method, I do it the first time the doFilter() is called. Then I
get a similar error:

Re: virtualhost and deployment applications

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
I think, there's something wrong with your context-definition or 
server.xml. Make sure each of your hosts have a webapplication base 
directory for their own!!! Do not use one single webapps-directory for 
all of your hosts!

My directory structure looks as follows:
/Tomcat/hosts//
Inside server.xml, where the hosts are defined, each host's 
appBase-attribute points to the correspoding host-directory.

Apart from that: If your tomcat's auto-deploy feature is activated, you 
can deploy a web-application by simply copying the war file into your 
webapps-directory (or any other directory that you specified in server.xml).

Best regards,
 Tex

That's Tomcat's default behaviour - and in fact, it is difficult to

Have a look at server.xml of your tomcat's default installation (you

found at

Re: Tomcat 5.5.4/Windows 2000 server - Failed to register in JMX: BasicDataSourceFactory

2005-02-05 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi Greg, hi David!
Sure, there is anoter factory you could use: The tomcat-built-in 
datasource factory. Unfortunately I do not know the classname of this 
factory, but I think it is somewhere in the library 
naming-factory-dbcp.jar which is located in common/lib.
(The Tomcat-guys didn't want to add the complete jakarta-commons-pool 
and jakarta-commons-dbcp libraries because most of the classes inside 
these libraries are not needed by tomcat. So they extracted the required 
classes only and repacked them thogether with some other classes into 
naming-factory-dbcp.jar. To avoid confusions and errors, they also 
modified the package names - thats why you get a ClassNotFoundException 
when you configure the JNDI-context to use the 
"org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory").
But I'm not sure if it is a good idea to extend one of those 
tomcat-internal datasource factories! This would REALLY tie your code 
close to tomcat!
Apart from that: If you implement/extend an existing DataSource factory, 
you have to put your implementation inside the common/classes directory 
- otherwise tomcat won't find it when it initializes the JNDI-context! 
So why not put the commons-pool and commons-dbcp jars into common/lib too?
So my suggestion: Extend BasicDataSourceFactory from commons-dbcp and 
put the two jars mentioned above into common/lib.

Best regards,
 Tex
Greg Guerin schrieb:
Hi David, Mario,
We actually specify the factory parameter because we extend the
BasicDataSourceFactory so we can encrypt passwords in the resource
definition.  My question is: Is there already a way to do that using another
factory I'm unaware of? It works fine, but we have to include the jars that
Mario mentioned and it'd be nice to not have to tie our code that close to
the container.

Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.5.4/Windows 2000 server - Failed to register in JMX:

Hi David!
I think, you do not need to explicitely define a bean factory because Tomcat
5 automatically uses dbcp for JNDI-DataSources (I think tomcat looks at the
type of resource - in your case a javax.sql.DataSource - and uses the
tomcat-internal dbcp-factory). In my project, I've configured a
JNDI-DataSource using the Oracle thin driver and it works perfectly without
specifying a bean factory and without adding any special libraries to my
tomcat installation (apart from the oracle database driver which is in
commons/lib).
So try the following configuration:

	type="javax.sql.DataSource"
	maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"
	removeAbandoned="true" 
   removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
   logAbandoned="true"
   driverClassName="com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver"

url="jdbc:as400://a53pb3;naming=system;libraries=,pgmdbt,caelib;errors=full"
   username="userid" 
   password="password"
/>

Again: You do not need any additional commons-libraries!
Best regards,
 Tex
 

Hi Mario,
Thanks for getting back to me.  Below is the context I set up.
After doing my own digging, I realized I was missing some jakarta 
commons jar files.  After getting these jars and restarting Tomcat the 
ClassNotFoundExceptions went away.

What I find really puzzling though is why I didn't get the same 
ClassNotFoundException on my local machine that was running the same 
version of Tomcat but on Windows XP profession.




  type="javax.sql.DataSource"

Hi!
How did you define your JDBC DataSource?
As far as I know, the original jakarta-commons-dbcp and 
jakarta-commons-pool-libraries are not included with Tomcat. Instead, 
just a subset of the required classes with modified package names 
(starting with 'org.apache.tomcat.dbcp') are packed in 
'naming-factory-dbcp.jar' that can be found in commons/lib.
But if you configure your JDBC DataSource correctly, this should not 
bother. Please post you

Re: Problem in war deployment

Hi Doug!
I think eilnet.xml IS the context.xml file you mentioned!
To Manoj: As Dough said, try the following:
1) Remove eilnet.xml from .../conf/{engine}/manoj.eilnet.effectsoft.local
2) Rename eilnet.xml to context.xml
3) Put it into your war-file (into the manifest directory)
Make sure context.xml is configured correctly and that your context is 
not configured twice (e.g. in server.xml)!

Best regards,

Parsons Technical Services wrote:
Is there a reason you are using an external eilnet.xml with a war file?
Do you have a context.xml in the war file?
Are you sure the app is not running?
If you find it is then Tomcat is trying to deploy it twice. There are 
some notes in the docs on this.

Post the eilnet.xml and the context.xml(if exists). Also post the 
server.xml.

Sounds like Tomcat is trying to deploy the app from the war file but 
the path info in the context element is wrong. Off the wall guess.

Hi Denny!
Which Realm do you use in server.xml? What are your web.xml-settings? 
Please post your configurations!!!

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.  When I use IE to bring up the
page I get a dialogbox asking for user name and
password.  If I put in a user name and password of a
user on the workstation I can login.  The page shows
the correct user name and says that I have
successfully logged in.  But I get 2 false for the
isUserInRole statements.  I don't know why that is the
case.
Thanks.

Hi!
I'm not sure, but I think your code is OK. The

Re: Tomcat 5.5.4/Windows 2000 server - Failed to register in JMX: BasicDataSourceFactory

2005-02-03 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi David!
I think, you do not need to explicitely define a bean factory because 
Tomcat 5 automatically uses dbcp for JNDI-DataSources (I think tomcat 
looks at the type of resource - in your case a javax.sql.DataSource - 
and uses the tomcat-internal dbcp-factory). In my project, I've 
configured a JNDI-DataSource using the Oracle thin driver and it works 
perfectly without specifying a bean factory and without adding any 
special libraries to my tomcat installation (apart from the oracle 
database driver which is in commons/lib).

So try the following configuration:

	type="javax.sql.DataSource"
	maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"
	removeAbandoned="true" 
   removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
   logAbandoned="true"
   driverClassName="com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver"
   url="jdbc:as400://a53pb3;naming=system;libraries=,pgmdbt,caelib;errors=full"
   username="userid" 
   password="password"
/>

Again: You do not need any additional commons-libraries!
Best regards,
 Tex
Hi Mario,
Thanks for getting back to me.  Below is the context I set up.
After doing my own digging, I realized I was missing some jakarta commons 
jar files.  After getting these jars and restarting Tomcat the 
ClassNotFoundExceptions went away.

What I find really puzzling though is why I didn't get the same 
ClassNotFoundException on my local machine that was running the same 
version of Tomcat but on Windows XP profession.


 
 
   type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
   factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
   maxActive="20" 
   maxIdle="10"
   maxWait="-1"
   removeAbandoned="true" 
   removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
   logAbandoned="true"
   driverClassName="com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver"

Re: Tomcat 5.5.4/Windows 2000 server - Failed to register in JMX:

Hi!
How did you define your JDBC DataSource?
As far as I know, the original jakarta-commons-dbcp and 
jakarta-commons-pool-libraries are not included with Tomcat. Instead, 
just a subset of the required classes with modified package names 
(starting with 'org.apache.tomcat.dbcp') are packed in 
'naming-factory-dbcp.jar' that can be found in commons/lib.
But if you configure your JDBC DataSource correctly, this should not 
bother. Please post your resource-configuration!

Re: virtualhost and deployment applications

Of course!
That's Tomcat's default behaviour - and in fact, it is difficult to make 
it behave different!
Have a look at server.xml of your tomcat's default installation (you 
need a host-element for each virtual host). More information can be 
found at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/index.html.

Re: Accessing static variable from different webapps

2005-02-03 Thread Mario Winterer
For more information on tomcat's classloading concept have a look at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
As you can see there, Tomcat instantiates a classloader for each web 
application. So if you put a class - let's say "Global" - inside the 
"WEB-INF/classes" directory of each of two of your web applications, it 
will be loaded twice. As a fact, a static variable of the "Global" class 
- let's say Global.myVar - will exist twice too!
But if you put your "Global" class into the %TOMCAT_HOME%/shared/classes 
directory ONLY (important: you must remove all occurences of your 
"Global" class from the webapps-classes directories to make this work!), 
it will be loaded by the "shared"-classloader. Because of the fact that 
the shared classloader is the parent classloader of all 
webapp-classloaders, every web-application can access the classes loaded 
by the shared classloader.

But holding resources in static variables inside the shared/classes 
directory there is not recommmended! Better add a JNDI-resource to your 
Tomcat's JNDI-context! This is done in server.xml inside the 
-element* *(see 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/globalresources.html).

Best regards,
 Tex

Thanks for your reply. I think JVM rules said that there should be 1
reference per JVM for a static variable. Tomcat class loader creates
separate instance of a static variable for each webapps. I am just
trying to understand how class loader works in tomcat.

Anshaj

Re: Hiding resources

2005-02-03 Thread Mario Winterer
Thanks David,
I think, your second suggestion will not work, because it is not 
possible to map a servlet or filter to "*/CVS/*". According to the 
servlet-specs, only filters of the form "anything/*" or "*.extension" 
are supported (and I really do not want to add a servlet-mapping for 
every single CVS directory).
I've already thought on a filter using regular expressions for filtering 
out certain requests. But I'm not sure if this is secure enough. Just 
think of "modified" request-urls using hex numbers for escaping ascii 
characters (e.g. ".../%43VS/..." instead of ".../CVS/..."). Are those 
urls normalized by tomcat, i.e. does request.getRequestURL() return 
".../CVS/..." in both cases?

 Tex
Just a thought or two --
1) Setup a request filter that detects when the URL contains the 
pattern CVS/ and redirects to a default or error page.
-or-
2) Setup a servlet mapping for any of the potential CVS URLs and have 
them map to a servlet that responds with an error or redirect.

Re: AW: Login filter

2005-02-03 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi Ben!
You cannot hook in the login validation process without touching tomcat 
code.
But usually, this is not necessary. Just write a filter and map it to 
"/" - every request will be directed to your filter - except requests to 
"j_security_check". But this should not bother you, because your filter 
will be invoked right after a successful login process.
Inside your filter code, check if a certain session-attribute is set. If 
not, it is the first time after session creation that your filter is 
called. If this is the case, do whatever you intend to do and set the 
session-attribute to ensure that your code is only run once.

In pseudo-code (inside your filter's doFilter()-method):
if (request.getRemoteUser() == null) {
   // user is not logged in: clear session attribute if set
   session.removeAttribute("login");
} else if (session.getAttribute("login") == null) {
   // user is logged in but this filter has not been called since
   
   // set the session attribute to avoid that the "special code" above 
is called twice:
   session.setAttribute("login", "true");
}

Best regards,
 Tex

Hiding resources

2005-02-02 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
I'm running a web application that is under CVS, which means my web 
application contains a lot of CVS-related directories (for the 
CVS-metadata).
Is there a possibility to tell Tomcat to hide or protect all those "CVS" 
directories? More general, what I need is a way to hide/protect all 
files or directories with the name pattern "*/CVS/*".
As far as I know, neither a servlet/filter-mapping nor a security 
constraint support this type of pattern (with two wildcards).
So I think, the only way to protect my resources is to implement a 
custom filter that is mapped against "/" and checks every incoming request.

Is there a better approach?

 Tex

Re: sharing session across s

2005-02-02 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi!
Do you want to share some kind of global variables or session 
information? Global variables should exist only once while session 
information is stored for each user (to be more correct: for each 
user-session).

I think you want to share session-information, but using a 
class-variable from a class that is loaded by the shared-classloader is 
nothing else but sharing a global variable. So if you really want to do 
that: Your solution might work, but it is not recommended. I think using 
a directory service is the better way! Tomcat has a built-in JNDI 
context where you can put such global things. (For more information have 
a look at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html).
But as I said: All you do is sharing global information that exists only 
once!

Best regards,
 Tex
So...
If I create some class, SessionHolder.java, compile it 
(SessionHolder.class)
and put it in shared/lib, I could then set variables and then retrieve 
them
from this class?

Not quite.  It's global to the classloader, not the JVM.  Since each 
web app has its own classloader, you would have to put such a class 
in a location serviced by a more global loader, such as shared/lib.  
Now, of course, you've introduced dependency issues...

Re: compiling and deployment in tomcat

2005-02-02 Thread Mario Winterer
Hi,
it is not possible to make Tomcat automatically compile and deploy your 
servlets.
Usually this is not necessary. If you use a good IDE, it is no great 
effort to compile your servlets. Deployment could be done by using an 
Ant script - just copy the servlet-binaries in the correct directory and 
reload your web application (if auto-reloading is disabled). The 
required Ant-tasks are included in the tomcat binaries.
The entry in web.xml must be done by hand, but you have to do that just 
once. So the cases where auto-compile and -deploy are required are 
really rare!

Best regards,
 Tex

another tool) or may I save it in a specific folder so Tomcat compiles
it to me?

2. Do I really have to register my servlets in web.xml file or this
process can be done automatically by Tomcat?

When I did the test with jsp pages, it was not necessary compile or
register the file (Tomcat did everything to me) so I expect the same
with servlets.

Thanks,

Julio
