Re: WAR files (URGENT)

2001-11-26 Thread keiths 

common error is the war file is placed in webapps directory but is not
"created" there.  "jar cf myapp.war myapp" from webapp dir is wrong,
"jar cf myapp.war *" from your application directory, then move the war
file up to webapp directory.

Oh have I been reading

I didn't realize that Linux has a "server" or "client" jvm in 1.3.  Has
anyone done any testing or have any observations?

Unless there is a major structural difference between products (like
version 4 and version 5 of the same product), we have found it is best
to have a single repository for a product.  I guess it is a little tough
if you have several versions that you are working on currently.  Perhaps
it is best to start a CVS repository at a major release.  At that point
you create a branch for bug fixes and retain the main trunk for major
upgrade work.  The theory is, that as you make changes in the bug fix
branch, you merge those fixes into the main trunk.  We make interim
releases (tags) off our bug fix branches when necessary.

CVS is very flexible.  You work on your own copy of the main trunk, or
branch, and then commit your changes at your leisure (or a policy).  If
there has been changes to a source file that your are attempting to
commit, the system tells you, and you then update source (that you may
have changed), and CVS will try and fold your changes into a new
version.  It will let you know if it finds "Conflicts", it is pretty
brilliant about it.  I will often run diffs between the repository
version and a version that I have modified to see what is different
before I do a commit, but it has never been absolutely necessary to do,
just a matter of interest.

The wincvs client is really very clear about what files have changed,
what version (tag or branch) that you are working on, etc, etc.  It
makes using CVS really simple for programmers that dont' want to get
into the details.

This is how we work.  everyone has their own tomcat.

You can certainly set it up this way.  I have scripted nightly builds
off cvs that use a nominal version.  That is, most of our development is
being done on the same branch, and that is the version that testers need
to see updated daily.

I had to implement it here after only being a "user" at another
organization.  I never was aware of a most of the features as a user,
and as a CVS administrator have gained a great appreciation for it.

I can only say that you should be using it.  It is excellent.  Many of
us develop servlets on windows (using the WinCVS client) for deployment
on linux/apache/tomcat (and many others).  We use a unix box for our
repository.

Re: Mod-jk conf auto creation not happening question

2001-11-19 Thread keiths 

You definitely need something if you want apache to run on top of
tomcat.  I am in the middle of testing 4.0 for migration from a tomcat
3.2 environment and have messed a little with the mod_jk.  I used the
mod_jk.conf-auto generated under tomcat 3.2, but there is also a
workers.properties file that is refered to in the auto generated file. 
That comes from 3.2 also.  Not in 4.0.  What is in the file isn't all
that complex.  I will attach a copy of mine.  I don't think there is
anything special in workers.properties - can't rightly remember right
now.  The reason the mod_jk is auto generated is so that it will
automatically add any new applications that you put under webapps when
you restart tomcat.  That's why you have to start tomcat first, before
apache.  You can readily pick out the "sections" in the mod_jk.conf-auto
that refer to the directories under "webapp"

Note that the ajp13 protocol is used in all of my entries.  I had to do
a little hack on the source to do that - the default is ajp12.  

I will send file to you directly - not through the list,  if other
listers are interested, let me know.

Re: Mod-jk conf auto creation not happening question

2001-11-19 Thread keiths 

I have noticed that the mod_jk.conf-auto does not get created in 4.0,
and certainly does in 3.2.  I will be watching for any feedback on this
one!
