tomcat v5.5.2 doesn't read ResourceParams ?
Hi, I've been trying out tomcat v5.5.2alpha since yesterday, and from my findings, it appears that it doesn't read the content of the ResourceParams. At least when I look at the datasource with the admin webapp, it has empty url, driverClassname etc. Have anyone seen similar results? I've added a copy of what I've put in conf/server.xml.

debugging of jsp's
Just dreaming load here; How would it be possible to write a debugger for jsp's that interpreted a jsp page, and made the content of the pageContext available with a nice gui? I know this is all possible to retrieve by attaching a debugger to tomcat, but this gives me a strickly servlet view, not a jsp page view. Being able to toggle between the jsp and the generated code at debug time would also be nice.. -- - Torgeir
using xerces in addition to crimson in webapp
I'm trying to use jdom in a webapp under tomcat-4.0beta. jdom requires a DOM Level 2 and SAX 2.0 compliant parser, thus I want to use the latest xerces. Option 1: How can I configure so that xerces.jar is before crimson.jar in the servlet container claspath? Option 2: How can I make shure that crimson.jar is not before xerces.jar in the classpath when putting xerces.jar in WEB-INF/lib in my web-app? Option 3: Is it possible to rip out crimson from catalina, replacing it with xerces? -- - Torgeir
problems with jdom tomcat4.0dev (24. april)
I'm having problems using jdom in a servlet with the following code;
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
builder.setErrorHandler (new org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler () {
public void warning (org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e) {
cat.warn (e.getMessage ()); }
public void error (org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e) {
cat.error (e.getMessage ()); }
public void fatalError (org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e) throws
org.xml.sax.SAXException {
cat.error (e.getMessage ()); throw e; }
});
builder.setValidation(false);
doc = builder.build(configURL);
This results in a java.lang.NosuchMethodError. I'm using jdom-beta6. It
appears that the xml parser that it retrieves in not whan jdom expects.
Could someone explain exactly which parsers are included with tomcat
4.0?

getResource() for files such as /WEB-INF/app.properties?
In the J2EE blueprint, there is an example of a configuration file
residing in the /WEB-INF/ directory which is loaded using getResource(),
see eg. http://java.sun.com/j2ee/blueprints/sample_application/qanda/
excerpt;
Here is some sample code that gets a configuration file from the
WEB-INF/ directory and parses it as XML.
URL myURL = null;
try {
myURL = context.getResource(/WEB-INF/mysettings.xml);
} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException ex) {
System.out.println(Malformed URL exception: + ex);
}
...
However, when doing this in tomcat 4.0dev (April 24th snapshot), the
getResource() method only returns null.
Is this supported in tomcat, or does getResource() only return things
that are in the classpath?
I there any other nice way of loading a property / xml / other file
from the WEb-INF directory?

using ant for web-app deployment
I want to use Ant for deployment of a web-app into a tomcat 4.0 instance that initially doesn't know about the web-app, thus there is not Context section for that web-app in server.xml. Thus it's not enough to simply create / copy a web-application directory under jakarta-tomcat-4.0/webapps. Does anyone have any working example of how to automatically alter the server.xml file to include a newly added web-application? -- - Torgeir

Context Realm
I'm trying to use Realms on a per Context / web-app basis. I am able to specify a Realm outside of a Context/Context, but if I put a Realm/Realm inside a context, it is ignored. I'm using tomcat 4.0beta3. Is this supported in this release? Also, I could live with having a singleton Realm, if I could get the configured Realm name as defined in the web.xml file for each web-app in the authenticate() method of the realm, but this seems to be available only when doing digest authentication. Is there a good reason for this? -- - Torgeir

resource factories?
I'm struggling a bit with setting up a resource factory for
DirContext's.
I have a ContextPool class that has an empty constructor and setter
methods for the params I want to set.
I preferrably want to use this resource factory on a per-web-application
level. Can I do that? The reason is that different web applications uses
different providerURL's, and this leads to connections to different LDAP
servers.
If I set this up on a web application level; Should I use
resource-ref-env or resource-ref? And why can't I use init-param to set
the parameters?
If I need to set this up in the server.xml file, is there still a way of
defining this on a Context level? What syntax do I use to specify a
resource factory in the server.xml file?
Lastly; is there no way of using initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/blabla")
in a realm class?

I would be very happy for feedback on this code.

The only way to find the bad addresses would be to send an email to every address separately and determine which outgoing message produced the failure.

realm resource factories
We use a realm implementation that will use a resource factory in the same way as a servlet uses it. Since the realm is specified on an engine level, and not on a web application level, we need to use an indirection to get to the correct resource factory based on which web application the realm is currently authenticating for. (We do this because we reuse connections on a per web application basis). I don't know the best way of doing this. Can I get some information from the container that can allow me to do jndi style resource factory lookup automagically, without knowing what web application the realm is currently authenticating for? -- - Torgeir
