RE: Error 405: HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL Prob On NT?

[Paul Foxton]

phew - glad you figured it out because I was pretty stumped : )

Thats odd though, because tomcat should auto reload your servlet by default
when you've recompiled and then requested it, you shouldn't have to restart
tomcat.

If your servlet is in a directory under
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/your_webapp_directory this should be the case anyway
I'm pretty sure reloadable="true" is the default.

Glad I could (kind of) help in any case

cheers

RE: Error 405: HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL Prob On NT?

[Paul Foxton]

Hi,

Have you implemented the doPost() method in your servlet or the doGet()?

It needs to be doPost if you're posting from a form.

RE: -- http 405, can not execute servlet

[Paul Foxton]

By the way, check the URL displayed in your browser after the first
unsuccessful request - you'll see the URL of the servlet, so when you
refresh you send a new request directly to the servlet, which is by default
a 'get' request instead of a 'post'.
this is why it works when you refresh it.

RE: Question on conf

[Paul Foxton]

are you restarting tomcat when you change server.xml?

other than this I can't think what it could be.

you're using version 4 right? I'm using 3.2 but I can't see there being a
difference in the set up contexts in server.xml.

sorry.

Anyone else..?

my mistake. 

you currently have:

hope this sorts it out : )

RE: Question on conf

[Paul Foxton]

try this:




this assumes your gundam web app directory is under webapps, not ROOT - the
usual way to do it.

you would then access this app through the URL
http://your_domain:8080/gundam/

If you want to access it with http://your_domain:8080/

set it up like this:




The only change from the first one is the 'path' entry.

Is there any particular reason you need your app below ROOT? Usually you
would create a new directory below webapps for an app.

RE: Konqueror

[Paul Foxton]

Yes, I've found the same thing in konqueror - it seems to have an odd way of
dealing with cookies, flaky at best, but I havn't looked into it in any
detail. I also find that when I redirect back to page showing the results of
a db update I need to refresh the page before I can see the updates, which
isn't necessary with IE or netscrape.

I'm not entirely sure what you're after, but have you looked at the
getServletContext() method?

Sorry I can't help more, but at least you know its not just you : )

RE: Servlet Uses Another Class

ok - shot in the dark -

you say your class is called HtmlSqlResult

but you import:

HtmlSQLResult;  (SQL all in upper case)

could this be the problem?
otherwise I'm stumped : (

RE: Servlet Uses Another Class

[Paul Foxton]

actually, this is getting a bit off topic (ie not specifically tomcat
related) so email me your class and you're servlet with the error message
and I'll have a look : )

RE: Servlet Uses Another Class

[Paul Foxton]

hmmm.

where does the error occurr? the first time you actually use the class in
the servlet and after the import statement?

if so it seems you must be importing it ok, so the there's another problem.

If you get the error actually on the import statement then perhaps you have
the name of the class wrong in your servlet?

if you post the code and the error message, might be able to help more

cheers,

Paul

RE: Servlet Uses Another Class

[Paul Foxton]

forgot to say - when you compiled the class to put in the package did you do
it as follows -

javac -d path_to_my_package MyClass.java

hope none of this is too obvious, just checking ;¬)

cheers,

Paul

RE: Servlet Uses Another Class

[Paul Foxton]

did you import the class explicitly in your servlet?

eg: (without a package)

import MyClass;

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet throws ServletEsception
IOException
  {
MyClass instanceOfMyClass;
instanceOfMyClass = new MyClass();

etc.

to import the class in the package:

import com.mypackage.MyClass

cheers,

Paul

you're probably missing a ';' a few lines further up in your code, something
like that.

Check you code again or post the rest.

ClassCastException on a bean

[Paul Foxton]

Hi,

I've just had an odd problem I thought I'd see if anyone else had come
accross:
Running tomcat 3.2.2, apache 1.3.19 on RH linux 7.1, I got a
ClassCastException for a bean (called DbUtilities) I use in a JSP page.

The code from the compiled servlet of the jsp is as follows: 

DbUtilities db = null;
boolean _jspx_specialdb = false;
 synchronized(application) {
   db = (DbUtilities)  < this line caused the
ClassCastException
   pageContext.getAttribute("db",pageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
 
Its odd because both the bean and JSP had been working fine for a week or so
& I hadn't modified either.

I restarted tomcat and apache and everything was fine again - just a little
concernred, I don't want this happenning when the site goes live!

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

cheers,

Paul

RE: Shared Variables

[Paul Foxton]

make sure your variables do indeed have session scope - what platform are
you running on?

I had this happen when I accessed my app through a browser on the linux box
it is running on.

When I access the app from another machine it doesn't happen. I assumed it
must be something to do with the way sessions (as in user sessions) are
implemented in Linux.

- stab in the dark though : )

RE: Class reloading

[Paul Foxton]

yes, I have 'reloadable' set to true in server.xml for my app directory
(under webapps) but its never reloaded my bean classes without restarting,
servlets I havn't tried it with as yet. The question seemed to me to relate
to beans in JSPs.

Sorry, I could have phrased my reply better : )

cheers,

Paul

AFAIK tomcat doesn't support automatic reloading of classes. You do have to
restart.

RE: are there servlet aliases

[Paul Foxton]

Set them up in the web.xml file in teh WEB-INF dir for your app:


  myname


  MyServlet



  
myname
  
  
/myname
  


Have a look at web.xml in the examples/WEB-INF dir to see how to set it up.

RE: mod_jserv

[Paul Foxton]

AFAIK mod_jserv is the old version for use with jserv, you will need the new
one: mod_jk. Yes, you do need to download it seperately.

Get it from http://jakarta.apache.org. You'll find it in the subdirectory
for your platform on the binaries page.
You can find instructions for setting it up in the tomcat manual.
