I've managed to figure out what was going on. Hopefully someone else
will find my struggles to be of use.
Using the ant deploy task doesn't appear to do exactly the same thing as
using "Upload a WAR file to install" via the manager application. I was
assuming this was true, because I wasn't sure I could trust how I was
using the ant task yet **. The ant task will look inside your META-INF
folder for a "context.xml" file, and (in TC 4.1) install that context
into server.xml. However, directly using the manager application
doesn't do that. I think that means that the default context was being
used for my application, rather than the one in context.xml. Somehow,
that was causing my SQLException to not get logged at all. BTW, the
SQLException I was looking for was "Server connection failure during
transaction," which appears to have been caused by using an older
version of the MySQL Connector/J component (3.0.4) with a newer version
of the MySQL server (4.1.7). [EMAIL PROTECTED]& multi-server applications...
** If you ever get this error: "java.net.UnknownHostException: C",
you're probably passing a war file with an absolute path something like
"C:\...\warfile.war". There may be some way to make the passed file
relative, but the way I found to get around this is to change "file://"
to "file:///".

Hi,
I'm trying to track down an odd Realm authentication problem, but I
can't seem to get anything to show up in any of the logs. My
application (henceforth referred to as "myapp") deploys successfully
via war file with the manager application. When I try to access those
portions of the application under security constraints, I am presented
with an HTTP BASIC authentication dialog. However, the dialog keeps
popping up, even though I "know" I'm using the correct username and
password. I "know" this, because I've compared the SHA digest in the
database against one generated from the password. Take that for what
it's worth... ;-)
What's really bugging me is that _NOTHING_ gets logged as to why the
authentication failed. One interesting thing I'm seeing, is that even
though I've defined a in my (see below), this log
file isn't showing up. I get "catalina.out" and
"localhost_log.date.txt," but nothing else. In localhost_log, I do
see this line, so I have to assume that something is happening:
2005-01-12 16:35:00 ContextConfig[/myapp]: Configured an
authenticator for method BASIC
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as I'm about out of ideas.
Versions:
---
Tomcat: 4.1.31
Red Hat 9.0 (yes, I have this as part of the TC start: export
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1)
Sun JVM: 1.5
I have made the following additions to server.xml for my two JDBC
datasources:
...
(Yes, this information is correct. It has been tested and
double-checked.)
...
(Yes, this information is correct)
My application's context.xml file:
-
verbosity="4"
className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="pcs_log."
suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"
/>
resourceName="Application Secure Realm"
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm"
dataSourceName="jdbc/db_devel"
userTable="employee"
userNameCol="login"
userCredCol="password"
userRoleTable="employee"
roleNameCol="role"
digest="SHA"
/>
Interesting bits from my applicaton's web.xml:
--
DB Connection
db_default
javax.sql.DataSource
Container
DB Connection for statistics only
db_stats
javax.sql.DataSource
Container
...
Admin
/admin/*
super
administrator
...
BASIC
Application Secure Realm
...
super
administrator
user
stats
--
Does anyone have any ideas, or perhaps see something obvious that I'm
missing?
Thanks,
Peter Moore
