Problem with authentication through mod_webapp
Hi, I've successfully set up a JDBC Realm for my application that works perfectly when I'm going straight to Tomcat (that is using port 8080) but not when I'm trying to access it trough Apache (with mod_webapp). Authentication always fails when I'm going through mod_webapp, but work just as it should if I access it on post 8080. Any ideas? Thank you for your time.

Re: Problem with authentication through mod_webapp
Hi Richard, No, I'm using FORM based authentication and the login page shows up when I try to access a resource inside a protected area, but no matter which account I try to log on with I just get to the login failed page. Does anyone have a JDBC Realm up and running together with mod_webapp (Apache 1.3.23 and Tomcat 4.0.3)?

Re: Null Pointer Exception - would you please take a look?
Hi Eddie, Have you tried accessing Tomcat directly and not going through Apache? I was having too much trouble using mod_webapp together with Apache and Tomcat due to that form-based authentication didn't work through Apache but it did directly with Tomcat. Maybe we should all use mod_jk instead. Is anybody running it on Mac OS X BTW?

The thought crosses my mind that you see the subject and then just scan and put in some standard Oh he's an idiot - he needs to do this response. The problem is with a JDBCRealm! I do NOTHING to send/receive anything to/from the database. I was of the understanding that Tomcat did this when I configured the realm and set up the security-constraint.

Tomcat: Returns to the client a page that looks like: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN HTMLHEAD META http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=windows-1252/HEAD BODYPRE/PRE/BODY/HTML (This is not what the actual page is - it's a JSP file - index.jsp - with much different content. Also notice I'm not calling a servlet! Even if I were, it wouldn't make a bit of difference at this point because Tomcat hasn't authenticated me! This happens when Tomcat should authenticate me - it is NOT my coding!!!) In my server log file, I have an error that starts off as: 2002-06-17 12:29:28 [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpRequestHandler] java.lang.NullPointerException at interbase.interclient.PreparedStatement.setString(Unknown Source) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.credentials(JDBCRealm.java) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.authenticate(JDBCRealm.java) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.authenticate(JDBCRealm.java) My catalina.out has no indication of anything having gone awry - it merely has status messages indicating that the server was started (why isn't there a timestamp in here?).

Please - I BEG of you - clue me in here - any thoughts why this is happening? Again, I can post my XML if you think I need to. A couple of questions people have asked up to this point, along with the answer: Q: Are you passing a null string? A: I get this when I try to visit a URL that falls under a security constraint. It's a JDBCRealm. Tomcat handles this - it is not my code. Q: Are you sure the fields in your table match what Tomcat is expecting? A: Initially they didn't. My fields were of length 14 and Tomcat says they should be 15 -- but they're varchar, so does that really matter? I rebuilt the tables so that anything Tomcat uses matches exactly what the docs say - meaning I made my fields to be of length 15. I still get the same response - exactly the same response. Is this the JDBCRealm? I put my DB driver in common/lib - so Tomcat SHOULD be able to find it - right? Is this the appropriate spot? Is it possible (and how possible?) that this is my driver?

Encrypted passwords in a JDBC Realm
I've just went through the documentation concerning setting up a JDBC Realm as well as some of the MySQL documentation. It seems to me that to use encrypted passwords I need to manually encrypt them before I store them in my database since it is not possible to set the digest attribute in the Realm element to the encryption algorithm MySQL uses for storing passwords (with the function password()). Is this correct? This hardly causes any problems since it's simple to encrypt the password in my application before storing it in the database, but I loose the possibility to manage passwords directly through SQL.

Re: Running JavaBeans
Hi Juan, There's no need to edit the deployment descriptor but you need to restart Tomcat (or redeploy the application). The compiled bean should be placed in the /app/WEB-INF/classes directory. If you still don't get it to work send over your directory structure and the important part of your jsp file. Using JavaBeans with JSP is really convinient and elegant after your JSP finds your bean. ;-) Markus On fredag, juni 7, 2002, at 10:53 , Juan wrote: Hello, I would like to use JavaBeans with jsp.

Re: Active Directory
Check with your Active Directory documentation how to make AD accessible from a LDAP client. Then just access the AD tree as a normal LDAP tree. Good hunting!

Re: ??? Using JSPs to Send Not-Modified-Since Header ???
Hi Tony,
Isn't it possible to put in the method after the jsp file has been
rewritten (by Tomcat) to a standard java source code file? Maybe it's
quick and dirty but I can't see why it shouldn't work.
Best of luck!

Hi all,
In looking at past posts, I'm afraid I know the horrible answer
to this issue but I thought I'd ask just in case I missed
anything.
Let me start by saying I'm using Tomcat v4.0.4 beta 3.
As you know, when a client (usually a web browser) has a cached
version of a resource (usually a web page) it can send an
If-Modified-Since header to the HTTP server. The server
compares the time/date stamp specified in the header with that of
the requested resource. If the resource has *not* been modified
since the time specified in the If-Modified-Since header, the
server sends back a 304 (Not-Modified) response, effectively
telling the client (usually a web browser) that its cached
version of the resource is still valid.
When writing a servlet, it's easy to handle this sort of
scenario. The javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class has a
service() method. This method first checks if the incoming HTTP
method is a GET. If it is, the service() method proceeds to
call the getLastModified() method of the servlet. As a
developer, you can override getLastModified() to return a long
value representing the last time the requested resource was
changed. Depending on the value returned by getLastModified()
(note that -1 is returned if you don't override the method) the
service() method may simply return a 304, Not-Modified response
rather than calling the servlet's doGet() method.
Now, the $18.32 Question: How do you ensure getLastModified()
is called in JSP?
No, you cannot simply do this:
%!
public long getLastModified() {
return xxx;
}
%
The problem is that the above method will never be called by the
container.
I traced through some of the Tomcat/Catalina/Jasper code and it
seems to me that the response code is being set to 200/OK very
early on in the processing.
I also took a cursory look at the JSP spec and didn't find any
indication of setting a Not-Modified response code...so, I am
thinking this is something that is (strangely) missing in the JSP
specification. I have a JSP page that needs to update itself once
per day. Therefore, it would be very handy to have the
getLastModified() functionality enjoyed by servlet writers.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks...

Re: File download with Tomcat 4.0.2
Hi Alex, I think that's actully up to the browser to determinate wheter the browser should display the data, if a helper application should do so or if the user should be prompted to download the file without displaying or executing it. So, in other words, what you need to do is to say on the page which links to the file that if the browser just displays the data you need to press [ALT] on Mac while downloading (and is it [SHIFT] on Windows?). However if your userbase i pretty constant like on an intranet you could send out instructions that files with the extension fls shouldn't be displayed in the browser but instead should the user be prompted for download (or maybe even more convinient - opened in the right application).

Is there something I need to set up the web.xml file? Do I need to define another mime-mapping ? Thank you, Alex - Do You Yahoo!?

Authentication with Tomcat + Apache
What would be the best sollution if I have resources (non-HTML like movies etc.) which I want to protect with a custom made authentication? I have a servlet which takes care of my authentication and I want this servlet to be able to either grant or permit access to a resource based on wheter the particular user has an account (in a back end database).

Directing .jsp requests to Tomcat
Is it possible to use the mod_webapp for Apache to let Tomcat serve .jsp files that are located in my Apache web folder? I've tried mounting a complete webapp that's located in my Tomcat directory and that's working fine but I would want my jsp files to be distributed all over my site and not in a particular directory within Tomcat. Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything concerning this either in the readme included with the mod_webapp or at the Apache site.

Re: Help: URL's redirection (maybe a little off-topic).
Hi Luca, If you just need to do this with servlets you can either use a sendRedirect or a RequestDispatcher. SendRedirect tells the user to request another page, in oppose to a RequestDispatcher which lets another Servlet return the data requested. The best way (if you need to use the data the client posts) is to use a RequestDispatcher. Try something like: RequestDispatcher anotherServlet = servletContext.getRequestDispatcher(/ServletB); anotherServlet.forward(req, res); Please remeber that you cannot send any other to the client before sending forward() to a RequestDispatcher. I. e. you cannot setting the contenttype before you seding forward(), Using a sendRedirect is even simpler (if you do NOT need to use the data posted): res.sendRedirect(/ServletB); If you need to use the data the client posts to you, you need to setting some shared variables to theese values - for example using Session variables. But I think the best sollution to your problem is to go with the RequestDispatcher. Hope this helps! Markus On Friday, May 31, 2002, at 01:23 PM, Luca Ventura wrote: Hello everybody!

Re: Authentication with Tomcat + Apache
Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for. I thought that by opening a file for a servlet and then returning it like a stream to the client whould take too much resources but it also seemed like the only way I could whink of except for some kind of HTTP Authentication. But I haven't seen any packages out there that can verify a user with HTTP Authentication and then use som kind of RequestDispatcher. By the way, do you think that it's best to have the protected files on my Apache server with HTTP Authentication with a login/pass what Tomcat is aware of so Tomcat can get the resource and then send it to the user or is it better to have the files inside WEB/INF for example? I have both Apache and Tomcat running on the same machine. Markus On Friday, May 31, 2002, at 11:03 AM, Phillip Morelock wrote: What would be the best sollution if I have resources (non-HTML like movies etc.) which I want to protect with a custom made authentication? use Servlets. serve binary data as the output stream instead of text/html . You can authenticate and do all your other ok, is this person authorized, what is the filename etc., and then serve the headers and the file. If you're interested in security, definitely do not have any part of the filename as a request parameter -- look up the filename in the database. There are packages that implement the raw binary serving in a rudimentary way, I'm thinking specifically: http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html see the ServletUtils.returnFile method...this should get you started. Be sure to read the license before using or looking at this code. cheers fillup -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
