IIS TC 5.5.9 - welcome files (index.html) not found
Hi, I am using IIS and tomcat together for the first time and have one little problem... Even though I have a /web-app/welcome-file-list/welcome-file='index.html' in my web.xml and the IIS server has index.html set as a default index page in the IIS manager, it seems that IIS does not recognize index.html as an index page. In other words, I get an IIS 404 when trying to hit something like: 'http://server.com/some/folder/'. The uriworkermap.properties has *.html set to be served from tomcat. Has anybody seen this? When I run tomcat standalone everything works as expected, but we need IIS for some other pages/services that our client is running. I have tried changing the index.html to index.htm, default.html, default.htm (all of which are set in IIS to be index pages) with no luck.

Anybody done anything like this? Any ideas? Is it possible? I could do this with JavaScript by building the form for each page that have these secure link types.

Re: Does Tomcat 5 users java.nio?
Thanks for your excellent explanation!
This may stray off topic for tomcat, but I have been wondering how this
(nio) would play out in XSL transformations in a servlet container.
Are you familiar with using custom URIResolvers [see below for an
example scenario] in XSL transformations?
-- Briefly, you can assign a resolver to TransformerFactory which will
resolve xsl:import/includes. Then you derive and cache a Templates
object off of that, so nio might not give much advantage since building
the Templates object grabs files once and it gets cached.
-- You can also set a resolver on the Transformer object (which is
derived from the cached Templates object). The Transformer object is
unique for each transformation and it resolves calls from the XSL
document function.
We (an ASP content management system) use the Transformer resolver to
gather (/aggregate/) content pieces and metadata files to be used in the
transformation. In some case there can be large number of document()
calls to gather XML files. I haven't had a chance to get into nio yet
and was wondering if you (all) had opinions on this?
thanks,
-Rob
[example]
A source XML might look like:
regions
region nameref=wideMiddle
content idref=piece1.xml/
content idref=piece2.xml/
/region
/regions
An example XSL would look like:
!-- page wrapper stuff --
xsl:apply-templates select=/regions/region/content/
!-- page wrapper stuff --
xsl:template match=content mode=aggregator
xsl:apply-templates select=document(@idref)/*/
/xsl:template
An example resolver might look like:
private static final String FNF = fnf/;
private Project project;
public TemplatesResolver(Project proj) {
this.project = proj;
}
public Source resolve(String href, String base)
throws TransformerException {
File file = this.project.getContentFile(href);
if (file != null) {
return new StreamSource(file);
} else {
return new StreamSource(new StringReader(FNF));

I checked this document:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-nioserver/
and it talks about how wonderful new io could help server to serves
higher number of connections and less error/drop connections.
Is it true in practice? Does Tomcat 5 uses new io of just io? If not,
do they plan to move to this?
The dillema is that the Servlet Model as defined in the specification
doesn't work well in the kind of environment provided by NIO, so it's
difficult to say whether something that handled the semantics of a Servlet
written using NIO would actually be any faster at all.
Now, technically, if one were so inclined, you could implement that bits
that handle static content with Tomcat to, perhaps, use the nio model and
maybe get a bonus for a pure Tomcat, yet static heavy, site. But since most
folks simply Don't Do That (i.e. if they're distinguishing static content at
all, odds pretty good that they're fronting Tomcat with Apache anyway...),
there's little motivation to engineer Tomcat to support NIO for simply
static content.
Servlets are pretty much thread based, being as they can perform arbitrary
calculations. Also, Servlets can, technically, access the input and output
streams of the request directly. Many servlets don't need that kind of
direct access. For example, most simply use the request headers and
parameters rather than the input stream itself.
NIO based servers are essentially event driven, with the sockets and IO
channels being a dominant source of the events. The NIO server repeatedly
checks the two ends of a request (the source and the sink, for example, the
input stream and server logic). When the source has data ready to read and
the sink is ready to take data, the NIO server grabs a chunk from the source
and feeds it to the sink, and then moves on to the other sources/sinks
within its queue.
The main thread of an NIO server can NOT block waiting for something to come
ready, as it will stall the entire server (because none of the other
requests will get serviced). If you're simply moving data from disk to a
socket, this works fine because OS's offer asynchronous IO calls and make
available routines which an NIO server can use to see who's waiting and
needs servicing.
But exposing that is it ready interface to arbitrary logic like that
within a servlet is difficult. If the code is very short, it's no problem at
all. The code is always ready and essentially returns immediately. But if
it's doing anything more than that (say, contacting a database), then things
get more ugly very quickly. The IO drivers of the system are asynchronous
without directly using a user level mechanism like threads, so they're
asynchronous for free. But if you want user written logic to have an
asynchronous behavior, we typically turn to threads to provide that for us.
But, the strength of the NIO model is that the requests it manages within
its internal queue have simple state than a

What stinks is that if they ftp content to the server, then I've got to merge their new and changed stuff into my development box because when I deploy my war file (I'm developing in a separate environment), it overwrites all of their stuff. My content providers aren't technically savvy, so I can't expect them to learn to use CVS. They're probably using some GUI program like Dreamweaver to create their pages. Does anyone have a suggestion to help streamline the battle of content providers versus programmers? I've thought of having them upload to a alternate directory and then running some ant script to copy new and changed files into the Tomcat directories, but that still won't help with the merging process. To make things even more complicated, and we're also using Tiles so my content providers have to ask me to add entries into struts-config.xml and tiles-defs.xml when they create a new page. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of inefficiency, or do you all work with just other programmers?

Did you have any experience with this and could you recommend anything? maybe another library that accomplishes this or maybe a sample of doing XSLTc precompilation.

Perhaps it is a good practice for xsltc, but keys can greatly improve transformation speed and ease xpath statements. You *should* use keys if you have to jump around the source frequently. While using compiled stylesheets reduces memory usage, I find using a cached Templates object (using Saxon) the best way to go, especially when building the Templates object in the init method. This because if you have any XSL validity errors you will see them immediately. best, -Rob http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/JAXPXSLT3.html.

You have to perform some ugly hack. Check http://alistapart.com for some
solutions.
For example, you could provide the image with both (3?) states and
adjust the margin to show the correct state:
a
href=boo
class=hoverLink normal
onmouseover=this.className='hoverLink hover'
onmouseout=this.className='hoverLink normal'boo/a
With the image looking like:
-
| normal state | 30px in ht
-
| hover state | 30px in ht
-
.hoverLink {
background: url(images/states.gif);
}
.normal {
margin-top: 0px;
}
.hover {
margin-top: -30px;
}
something like that... :(

JSP XML syntax - was -Re: JSP Compiler produces huge HTML files with whitespace
Hi,
If you use the XML syntax you can handle whitespaces nicely. There are
times when you want/need whitespace to remain, so managing it with the
XML syntax is better, imho.
Are people using the XML syntax?

Hola,
I'm not a Jasper expert, my guess is for two reasons:
- It's a slight performance hit
- There's a slight change of bugs or sub-optimal behavior. For example
a subtle one was pointed out the other day: with trimSpaces on,
${something} followed by a space becomes just ${something} without a
space after it. But for some HTML tags, e.g. img, and some browsers,
this causes different display behavior.

You could use XSL and output a file from something like:

Re: jsp:directive.include behavior
I have the same problem (expanded entities). It works the same in Resin. I posted a question about this a week or so ago. Maybe we should ask on Dev? Is the XML syntax being used? best, -Rob William M. Shubert wrote: Hello, I'm having a little trouble with the way that jsp:directive.include works in Tomcat 5 (5.0.19 to be exact). I've read the JSP 2.0 spec, and it's confusing enough that I may well be misunderstanding it, but the way that the spec reads and the behavior I get from tomcat don't match at all! Here's the issue: My files are all XML-style JSP documents. I expect from the spec that adding jsp:directive.include file=xxx.jspf/ into my JSP document should give me a result as if xxx.jspf had been cut and pasted into the master JSP document. This isn't what is happening though. Instead, it seems like xxx.jspf is skipping a processing step, or being processed as a non-XML JSP file. In the master jsp file, all comments like !-- -- are stripped out, and all character elements are processed a bit, so if I want an ampersand in the final XHTML document, I need to say amp;amp;. In the included xxx.jspf file, though, !-- -- comments are left in (and make it all the way to the client), and character elements are left alone as if they were inside CDATA blocks. This is annoying, especially the comments; the comments are being treated as character data when tags are evaluated, so tags that aren't supposed to have character data like c:choose give errors unless I move all comments outside the c:choose or inside an inner c:when tag. Furthermore, a lot of the comments are notes to myself, and I would prefer that they not make it to the end users. So can somebody explain the rationale here? If I could understand why things act this way, I could probably live with it, instead of getting annoyed every time that I stumble across another include-related issue. Even better, is there some way to get the behavior I expect - to process an included JSP fragment exactly as if it were part of the original XML-style JSP file. Thank you.

XML syntax for JSP
Hi, I am currently using Caucho's Resin as my servlet container, but now starting to check out other containers. I would like to ask a quick question before jumping into Tomcat. (I have to do quite a bit of configuration changes as I unfortunately used some shortcuts that resin allows) First some background: We have a CMS that pregenerates JSPs using XSL and XML. To keep things clean I output to the XML syntax. The JSP renders to well-formed HTML. The JSP I output also includes a processing instruction that instructs the JSP to do an XSL transformation (to XHTML or HTML) after it renders itself. jsp:directive.page contentType=x-application/xsl/ The problem is that I cannot have another processing instruction that tells it to render truly well-formed HTML, the main problem being that it expands entities before the XSL transformation (a resin bug). So I need to do an ugly hack in the source XML. Where I would like something like: a href=page.jsp?a=bamp;c=dboo/a I have to do: a href=page.jsp?a=bamp;amp;c=dboo/a . My question is, if I use Tomcat with the above scenario, will the JSP render truly well-formed XML for the final transformation?

provide the full system path):

redirect:write select=@file

Hi,
I need to generate a few html files from one request. I have tried
xt:document with little success, so I am now trying Xalan's Redirect. I
run the following XSL through Cocoon and get no error messages. However
no
extra files are generated on the server.
Is this a directory permissions issue?
BTW, Is this a question for the users list, or the developers list?
