Re: is Tomcat Crap???

[Richard Plukker]

Tomcat is no Crap,
Maybe other web containers are better, but that doesn't mean that it's crap.
Try writing your own web-container (first release will probably be crap).
There are some tedious things in tomcat, mostly redeployment, or reloading 
webapps. This is done great in orion as i can remember.

I believe that Resin and Orion are free for developers but when you use it 
commercialy then you have to pay.  Weblogic is expensive.
Also Weblogic and Orion are J2ee containers they have the whole EJB thing too.
Maybe you want it maybe you don't

JBoss is released now with Jetty integrated, does anyone have any experience? 
A good alternative to Tomcat?

As closing remark I would like to say that i don't like a new evangelist war 
like Vi vs Emacs, Windows vs Linux, PC vs Mac
and all those childish comparisons.
If someone likes Orion --> fine, if one uses Resin --> good for you, if 
someone uses anything else --> that's okay by me.

What I do like is a technical comparison, without childish politics or 
evangelism

greetings,

Richard

You should try to start tomcat with a

# java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory \
  -Djava.naming.provider.url=ldap://localhost:389/o=jnditutorial \
  List
# java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory \
  -Djava.naming.provider.url=file:/tmp \
  List 
  

You should take a look at the jndi 
tutorial:http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/beyond/env/source.html

Hello Satya,

These messages are in catalina.out
You can use tail -f catalina.out to see what is happening.
Or if you work on windows, you should go to the properties of the dosbox 
and put the buffer size to 1000 lines than you can scroll up.

good luck,

Richard

Re: Problem with authentication through mod_webapp

[Richard Plukker]

Do you use the basic authentication method?
Maybe try the form authentication method.
Because apache also has a basic authentication method, maybe these two 
don't get along.

Re: Initializing Application at startup

[Richard Plukker]

You could envoke the constructor of your initialize class from a servlet.
You should use the init method. If you use load at startup in your 
web.xml you can
garantee that the initialisation of you app is done when tomcat starts.

For the path properties, you can also use the contextParams, this way 
you put the path of you config.file as a context param in your web.xml.

please read the documentation and look at the examples, it's all there.

succes,
Richard

Re: Jboss application server

[Richard Plukker]

put your war file in an ear file.
Or put the servlets in an ear file conform the j2ee spec.
Than when you put it in the deploy directory of your jboss installation, 
your webapp will be deployed.

Visit the free documentation of www.jboss.org or look for a tutorial on 
deploying applications in jboss.
good luck,

Richard
