How do I change servlet contexts???

2003-07-30 Thread da_alchemist
Tomcat: 4.1.24

I have a war file whose base context is /example. 
Within that context there is an HTTP servlet
(GuestServlet) with a servlet mapping that captures
everything under /example/guest/*.  Within
GuestServlet.class I create a RequestDispatcher to
forward control to an HTML page (lookup.html) under
the base context (/example).  The problem is when
control is forwarded to /example/lookup.html it does
not work.  The context remains unchanged at
/example/guest and so it actually attempts to display
/example/guest/lookup.html when I need
/example/lookup.html.  I use the following code within
GuestServlet.java to try and display lookup.html under
the base context /example.  Will someone please tell
me what I am doing wrong?

public class GuestServlet extends HttpServlet {

...

  protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {
...
RequestDispatcher rd = null;
// Dispatch to next url
ServletContext cntxt =
context.getContext(/example);
rd = cntxt.getRequestDispatcher(/lookup.html);
rd.forward(request, response);
...
  }
...
}

Where is mod_jk2?

2003-07-23 Thread da_alchemist
Maybe I overlooked something, but I cannot find a link
to download mod_jk2 (or coyote) for Apache 1.3.27 to
talk with Tomcat at the jk2 website
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/index.html).
 Does anyone know where the link to download mod_jk2
is?  I find it incredible that there is no link to
download jk2 at the jk2 website.  There is only a link
for mod_jk.

TIA.

Re: Tomcat vs. JBoss

2003-04-05 Thread da_alchemist
It is sad really to be exposed like this.  Your
company's web site does present you as the J2EE expert
and yet you ask questions that do not mix, for lack
of a better description.  If you truly understood J2EE
and merely glanced at the JBoss web site
(www.jboss.org) you would hopefully be able to
ascertain that JBoss functions primarily as an EJB
container, while Tomcat can actually work with JBoss
as its servlet container.

Perhaps I am being a bit too harsh and should
recognize that maybe its your mastery of the English
language that is at fault here and you really do
understand the differences between JBoss and Tomcat
and simply did not pose the question clearly.  If that
is the case I apologize, but please be careful in
presenting future questions otherwise I would
anticipate plenty more grief from others.

Finally, to answer your questions as best as I can
interpret them.  You are absolutely correct in that
JBoss is complex.  Hell, most production level J2EE
servers (BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, etc.) are
complex, probably due to the J2EE specification being
a bit involved.  But, as with all things they become
much simpler with experience.  As for Tomcat being a
J2EE engine, that is a bad characterization.  Tomcat
merely implements a piece (servlets) of the J2EE
specification.  Tomcat, last I checked, does not
function as an EJB container and so you cannot really
compare it to JBoss.  Although, JBoss does come with
its own servlet container (JBoss Web, formerly Jetty).
 To answer your overall question, you can keep Tomcat
and use it synergistically with JBoss as many others
have done and it seems to work well in production
depending on how they are being used.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

  Hi there,
 
  At my company some are discussing to replace our
 Tomcat installation with
  JBoss application server.
  What are the main arguments pro/contra using
 Tomcat/JBoss?
  Is anybody able to share some production
 experiences?
 
  To my mind it seems
  *) if I need EJB - take JBoss
  disadvantage: more complex
 
  *) if I need the reference J2EE engine - take
 Tomcat
  advantage: easier to use, less overhead with EJB
 
  What do you think?

... hmm... a small correction... Tomcat is a J2EE

JBoss is an EJB container that uses Tomcat (and others
like Jetty) for servicing Servlets, but both are
containers under the J2EE architecture...

Re: Search engines and MVC--to clarify

2002-10-30 Thread da_alchemist
Your question is not descriptive enough, which is the
reason you were directed to the java.sun.com website. 
What you are asking makes no sense.  You must
elaborate more about what you are trying to
accomplish.

You have 2 websites implemented under the MVC design
pattern.  Okay, now what?  You would like to have them
indexed?  Huh, what does that mean?  Indexed how?  Do
you want your controller to access a database (index)
of URL's to redirect the user to the appropriate view
or is it something else?  Your inquired about search
engines and their handling of the MVC design pattern. 
Well, search engines do not handle MVC.  A developer
can decide to use an MVC architecture and build their
search engine into it to possibly function as part of
the controller part of the paradigm.

The way your question is worded it does not seem as if
there is a clear understanding of what MVC is,
nevermind the fact that it was mistaken for
multi-view-controller.  Unless, of course, I am
totally mistaken, for which I would apologize, and
that MVC has a second meaning.

I would suggest that you either visit the site to
understand more about the MVC design pattern or
elaborate more on what you are trying to accomplish.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

Re: Digested Passwords and the server/lib/catalina.jar file

2002-09-10 Thread da_alchemist

It's error prone either way-- .../common/lib or
.../WEB-INF/lib-- upon upgrade.  Without understanding
the full scope of your project I would tend to lean
towards the first solution (.../WEB-INF/lib) unless
the .jar file needs to be available to all web
applications.  The common directory according to
Jakarta-Tomcat is:

Common - This class loader contains additional
classes that are made visible to both Tomcat internal
classes and to all web applications

Moving a Tomcat server .jar file does not seem like a
comfortable option-- it is like moving system
libraries the OS depends on to a shareable area
because you do not like them where they currently are
located-- but if it works and you feel comfortable
with it then use it.  I hope this helps.

Thanks.

 In the Digested Passwords section of the Realm HOWTO

  In order to use

To use either of the above techniques, the

 There are a few ways to do this.  I could copy the

 to my web application WEB-INF/lib directory.  Or, I
 could copy the
 catalina.jar file to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
 
 I don't like the first method as it is error prone
 when I move to
 the next version of Tomcat (and forget to replace
 the cataline.jar
 file).  So I'll probably go with the second method
 and copy the
 .jar file to the common/lib directory.
 
 Should I move the file instead of copying it?
 Could I create a symbolic link instead of copying?
 Is there a better way to do this?

Best Connector Setup???

2002-07-30 Thread da_alchemist

Hello All,

I am a newbie so bear with me if these seem like
simple questions.

My understanding is that only WARP and AJP are used to
connect with Apache httpd server and the HTTP
connector utilizes Tomcat as a web server.  Is that
correct???

In a production environment with Tomcat 4, which
connector setup (HTTP, WARP, AJP) is best regarding
performance and security???

Will one connector setup be better than another in a
J2EE environment (OpenEJB, OC4J for the EJB
containers)???

Should the Realm / element be used for
authentication or is there a better method???

And, how has Valve ...SingleSignOn/ worked in
practice, any experiences???

Thanks.
