RE: Adding modules

2001-04-25 Thread Williamson, James
Title: RE: Adding modules





It doesn't, and architecturally why should it? You put handlers in the Apache conf to say
OK, if I encounter this file type invoke this handler, (which is a module which is either
statically or dynamically linked into the httpd/apache.exe executable). So for jsp/tomcat, we
tell apache that mod_jk or mod_jserv will handle the request, they then talk to the Tomcat server via sockets. 
So theoretically Tomcat from Apache's perspective can be thought of as nothing more than a module.


Hope this helps,


James

It's not a relational DB but an XML one. Configuring Apache in the right way
(that is, loading the module) allows my application to query the DB via http
in the way:


http://hostname:port/databaseType/databaseName?_query


This would return an XML document. My question is if it is possible to tell
Tomcat to manage this kind of requests with the appropriate module and
without running Apache.

Try using the absolute path in the docBase attribute within the Context element. Hazarding a guess, I would expect if you used a relative path it would be 'relative' to the docBase in the ContextManager element.

Subject: Virtual host application directories in Tomcat 3.2 and 4.0



Although I haven't tried it, in Tomcat 4.0 each Host directive can specify
an application base directory (webapps/) for the host. The appBase attribute
specifies for each host where applications will be deployed.


Can the same thing be done in 3.2, if virtual hosts are specified with the
Host directive? The only way I have found for specifying the directory, is
by using the home attribute to the ContextManager directive. This can't be
the right approach, as each host is specified within the ContextManager
directive. 


Does anybody have any suggestions?

Laurens, 
 
Which 
version of Linux are you running? pthreads aren't an integral part of the OS, 
they're a library which as far as I remember were a hack to provide some 
form of threading capacity on thread enabled OS 'es (i.e Linux). So 
the question is, are they in your library path (i.e. /lib)? Look for files like 
libpthread.so.0,  It would explain why ld.so (the dynamic 
linker) can't find these symbols.

When you mention tools.jar is in the classpath, are we talking of you setting in within the shell script that launches tomcat or the enviornment (aka shell) which you invoke the script from. Looking at the shell script that starts up tomcat (tc4) it appears that it doesn't adopt the classpath within the shell that invoked it. Why don't you put some debug statements inside this script which tell you exactly what classpath it's using?

Title: RE: Compiling JSP's under Solaris



Martin, 
 
That's 
pretty odd, have you manually compiling your jsp files using jspc.sh? 
Having taken a brief look there is no difference between a manual and automatic 
(i.e. via Tomcat) compilation of your jsp files (i.e. it calls 
org.apache.jasper.JspC). This relies on tools.jar (from what I remember is new 
to java 1.2) so it should give you some idea of whether either your java install 
or tools.jar is broken or not.

Title: RE: Should we do moderation on this mailinglist??





Please help!! 


Time to add my two cents, my thoughts are this list needs to be moderated as the pollution of utter ignorance/laziness/repeat posters/"please helps" is way out of control (strictly IMHO). 

So what about a moderated list with multiple moderators operating in a round robin fashion, if it's not dealt with it in say 2 hours, it gets forwarded to another moderator. As for getting people to do it, I'm sure there's a few power hungry people out there who would enjoy playing judge and jury (myself obviously excluded). Rejection could be for all the above reasons.

The alternative is to got for the elitist approach, a tomcat-users super group, 5 stupid postings and you're out... Then again I think I'm getting a bit too tongue in cheek.

Seems to me, having a newsgroup is fine, but I don't see why it needs
to be an either/or thing.  There is a procedure for creating
newsgroups, and if anyone wants to get the process started for a
tomcat/jakarta/apache newsgroup (or newsgroups), they're certainly
welcome to.  But regardless of whether that happens (and/or succeeds,
which is certainly not a sure thing), there's no reason the mailing
list can't go on.


Regarding moderating the mailing list, I don't think that is feasible.
For one thing, as some have suggested, it would take a lot of work, so
it would be hard to find people to do it.  Plus philosophically, I'm
not sure we really want to go that route.  And of course, there is a
list owner (that exists as an entity, if not a person or persons, even
if they don't show themselves around here much :-), and they'd get
final say it what happens with this list.  That may be the biggest
point, because there has been no input from any "owner" on this list
for a while on any of these issues (although they are on record as
saying a newsgroup is a bad idea, mostly because many people don't
have access to newsgroups because of firewalls, proxies, and such).


Also, no disrespect intended, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea
to try to come up with sweeping ideas to "improve" a mailing list
after having only been subscribed a few weeks.  That's not very long
to get to know the ins and outs of a mailing list, how things ebb and
flow, what's been suggested/tried or not, etc.


Anyway, of the recent ideas suggested, I think the one that has the
best combination of merit/feasibility is dividing up the list into
sub-lists.  This would have to be done carefully, of course, to
actually improve the situation.  I'd be willing to give this a go
(although it might be the kind of thing where it would be good to have
more than one person involved).  The first step though, would be to
try to get in contact with the list owner and see if they would go for
it.  I'll try doing that.
