Re: Tomcat 5.5 working, BUT not outside of webapps/
Well, I've tried all sorts of configurations, so I was hoping to get a clean example from someone who had it working. I changed the stock Tomcat 5.5 server.xml file to add the following (within the pre-existing, as well as the only, HOST tag for localhost, and I have tried with/without a slash for path, and with forward or backward slashes in docbase): CONTEXT path= docbase=C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MYwebapps debug=0 reloadable=true / ...and I have edited the stock Tomcat 5.5 uriworkermap.properties file to add the directory relative to the additional docbase (I've also tried without the .jsp specificity at the end of the line to handle everything): /MYjsp-examples/*.jsp (the jk_1.2.8.exe installer puts it all in its own folders in $CATALINA_HOME's parent, not within $CATALINA_HOME/bin, and also sets the registry properly - anything else this nice installer does for me? It doesn't appear to set environment variables $CATALINA_HOME or JAVA_HOME - do I need to do this manually? The webapps examples work fine without these variables set though, so is this a deprecated step?) So, if I have copied the webapps folder (and everything in it) to the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder and renamed it MYwebapps, and renamed jsp-examples therein to be MYjsp-examples (and fixed the .html to point to the right path), I would have thought that I could run examples from the new directory as well. I don't see any path info. (non-relative) elsewhere that would cause problems and need to be changed? However, if uriworkermap.properties is edited properly, I get a Tomcat 404 error starting with the docbase, when clicking any example (.jsp link; the .html ones still work fine, since they're not handed-off to Tomcat) from the main page: http://localhost/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples/index.html ...the same files still work fine if I go back to the original location: http://localhost/jsp-examples I've even tried making new HOST tags as well, but Tomcat won't start if you try to define two HOST tags for the same system whether I use a machine name, IP or whatever.

RE: Tomcat 5.5 working, BUT not outside of webapps/
Hi Matt, I'm not sure if this would solve your problem, but I have my server.xml set up with the following configuration: Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps/myApp unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=true xmlNamespaceAware=true Context path= docBase= debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=true / !-- context path for external ini directory -- Context path=/ini docBase=c:\\myApp\c\releases\ini debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false / !-- context path for external lib directory -- Context path=/lib docBase=c:\\myApp\c\releases\lib debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false / /Host This means my root webapp for http://localhost resolves to webapps/myApp, and the http://localhost/ini url goes to c:\\koba\c\releases\ini, etc. When we first set this up Tomcat had problems starting up because it was reading in old web.xml files under the Tomcat/conf/Catalina... dir(s) but it couldn't find that path under Tomcat/webapps/myApp/. So we had to remove those old xml files (since the localhost root no longer went to Tomcat/webapps/). As a test, I just tried directing my Host's appBase to an external directory, and it worked for me. For that test I configured server.xml per the following: Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=c:\\myApp\c\releases\ini unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=true xmlNamespaceAware=true Context path= docBase= debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=true / /Host I am running Tomcat 5.0.25. - Wendy p.s.

Re: Tomcat 5.5 working, BUT not outside of webapps/
The original $CATALINA_HOME/webapps works fine, yes, but nothing will work outside of that, so I'm just looking for the steps (and files I need to edit) to have my own webapps work outside of $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. That's all - it's quite simple, really. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot is just a sample path on my Windows box, so how would I get Tomcat to also work on files in there, not just $CATALINA_HOME/webapps? The CONTEXT tag below is one sample of what I've tried (in server.xml), but it does *not* work. I have also edited uriworkermap.properties, but when I do that, Tomcat says it can't find any resources in that location, so the issue is how to setup another web applications area/folder/directory properly, step-by-step, file-by-file. It seems it shouldn't take more than 5 steps at most, no? If it helps, recall that I have setup Tomcat, jk_1.2.8 and my web server up out of the box and they work just fine with the stock usage and I can run jsp-examples, BUT I now want to *add* another location besides $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and have jsp files and servlets work in there as well, and that location could be (for example's sake) C:\Inetpub\wwwroot (and anywhere below). You threw me off when you mentioned $CATALINA_HOME/Catalina/host/some file, b/c I *do* have $CATALINA_HOME/localhost/manager.xml, but am completely clueless as to what that file has to do with server.xml. You say I have to delete it to have any of my changes in server.xml to actually take? That's the clarification I was looking for, but if I can address the original issue above (whether it includes this as part of it ot not) then that'd be the solution with which I'm struggling.

RE: Tomcat 5.5 working, BUT not outside of webapps/
OK, we've at least gotten to the point where I can now run the examples from my own directory outside of $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, and by ONLY editing server.xml and uriworkermap.properties slightly, and NOTHING ELSE, which is not only nice, but also what I expected all along! (THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!)* *HOWEVER, now that I made the changes you recommended, the webapps area now is NOT FOUND when using plain URL's. I get a (Tomcat-based) directory listing when using the following URL (instead of the Tomcat welcome page): http://localhost:8080 ...which includes my outside folder and then all of the folders in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, AND if I go deeper into any of these listed directories with the explicit port :8080 set it works, BUT if I try the following URL: http://localhost/jsp-examples ...then I get a 404 page not found error (not a Tomcat page - standard IE stuff). With or without the :8080 port in my URL, my outside directory can be found just fine: http://localhost/JSP/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples/index.html (and so on) ...so I have the inverse problem. Good grief! Can't we have both? Here's the beginning of my HOST tag through the CONTEXT (everything else in server.xml is out-of-the-box, unless jk_1.2.8.exe does anything here as well): Host name=localhost appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false Context path= docBase= debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=true / Context path=/JSP docbase=C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/JSP debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false / ...the trick seems to be in the overlapping ending directory in path and docbase, which is kinda annoying since EVERY example I found showed path set to or / - hence my frustration up to this point. I have tried removing the first CONTEXT (seems weird with path and docbase both set to ). When I remove that, I get the same results - so what is this CONTEXT for, if anything? My uriworkermap.properties file is as follows: # uriworker.properties - # # This file provides sample mappings for example # ajp13w worker defined in workermap.properties.minimal /servlets-examples/*=ajp13w /jsp-examples/*.jsp=ajp13w /*.jsp=ajp13w /JSP/*.jsp=ajp13w # Now filter out all .jpeg files inside that context # For no mapping the url has to start with exclamation (!) !/servlets-examples/*.jpeg=ajp13w So, I'm still trying to get BOTH to work right, but making some progress! -Matt On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Matt, I'm not sure if this would solve your problem, but I have my server.xml set up with the following configuration: Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps/myApp unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=true xmlNamespaceAware=true Context path= docBase= debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=true / !-- context path for external ini directory -- Context path=/ini docBase=c:\\myApp\c\releases\ini debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false / !-- context path for external lib directory -- Context path=/lib docBase=c:\\myApp\c\releases\lib debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false / /Host This means my root webapp for http://localhost resolves to webapps/myApp, and the http://localhost/ini url goes to c:\\koba\c\releases\ini, etc. When we first set this up Tomcat had problems starting up because it was reading in old web.xml files under the Tomcat/conf/Catalina... dir(s) but it couldn't find that path under Tomcat/webapps/myApp/.

I have even tried editing the existing HOST tag to change webapps to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot and all sorts of folders below wwwroot. In those cases, if I manage to edit the uriworkermap.properties file correctly, all I get is a blank page for any .jsp, while IIS still handles the other stuff just fine. So, instead of these outdated docs everyone keeps pointing to, does anyone have any simple instructions to get Tomcat to properly use a folder OUTSIDE of webapps, and ALONG WITH webapps to work (especially assuming you've already got the basics working just fine as I do)? I'd like to start by getting a copy of jsp-examples working in wwwroot/ if possible (which is also how I was testing in the situation above, if that means anything), rather than also confusing the situation by learning how to create apps myself at the same time. Perhaps that has caused my problem - maybe the issue lies in a web.xml file somewhere for the jsp-examples (I;ve even copied all of webapps to wwwroot to try and get that to work, but no luck).

RE: Tomcat not working behind a NAT?
I still think you are barking up the wrong tree here. If I had to guess I would say that 95% of all internet faceing Tomcat servers are behind some kind of NAT device. One thing to consider. NAT only translates the IP in the IP header and doesn't change the data payload. So if you are, for whatever reason, using an IP address that is getting sent along in the payload and trying to redirect to it or whatever, NAT won't change that. Kinda how SQLNet doesn't like NAT devices. Because the users IP is embedded in the payload as part of the protocol. So it goofs up when the IP header and the IP in the payload don't match. But what you are thinking below is the first thing I would do. Make sure the machine on the outside see's the correct hostname/IP number and the machine on the inside see's that same hostname as the inside IP address. You can do that via the hosts file if you like. -e On Fri, 25 Jul 2003, Erin Dalzell wrote: For this particular Servlet call we are not accessing any databases. DTDs?

If I had to guess I would say that 95% of all internet faceing Tomcat servers are behind some kind of NAT device. One thing to consider. NAT only translates the IP in the IP header and doesn't change the data payload. So if you are, for whatever reason, using an IP address that is getting sent along in the payload and trying to redirect to it or whatever, NAT won't change that. Kinda how SQLNet doesn't like NAT devices. Because the users IP is embedded in the payload as part of the protocol. So it goofs up when the IP header and the IP in the payload don't match. But what you are thinking below is the first thing I would do. Make sure the machine on the outside see's the correct hostname/IP number and the machine on the inside see's that same hostname as the inside IP address. You can do that via the hosts file if you like. -e On Fri, 25 Jul 2003, Erin Dalzell wrote: For this particular Servlet call we are not accessing any databases. DTDs?

That's kinda what I've been saying. Don't hardwire the IP. So instead of using an IP use a hostname. For example www.myapp.com = 3.3.3.3 on the external DNS. Then on your Tomcat systems host file (or internal DNS) put 2.2.2.2 www.myapp.com So when/if Tomcat need to use the URL for some reason when it goes to resolve the IP it gets the correct internal IP number. -e - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Tomcat not working behind a NAT?
Hi, I was unaware that tomcat connects to itself on a high port. Never the less, Tomcat should be completely unaware of the 204.1.1.1 address. If your NAT is totally transparent the only place that IP lives is on the external interface of your firewall/NAT device. I don't see how that IP could sneak back there. Unless, and I'm going to guess here, your application is looking at the URI of the request and doing something with it. In that case you should use IP numbers and have internal vs. external DNS (or /etc/hosts) set up with the different IP numbers (one for the inside value and one with the 10.x.x.x inside value). So that way if it tries to connect to the same URI that was in the request it will get the right 10.x.x.x IP number. I don't know if that helped or not. -e On Thu, 24 Jul 2003, Erin Dalzell wrote: Hi there, We have just discovered that our tomcat web app is not working correctly behind a NAT.

RE: Tomcat not working behind a NAT?
Ah yes, but I think tomcat does know what address was used to connect to it. If I connect to tomcat via 204.1.1.1, doesn't tomcat then think that that is its ip address and when it tries to open an IP connection to itself, it uses that IP address?

Re: Tomcat Current Working Directory
If running as NT service, there is a registry string that you can create named Current Directory and you can give it a value of anything you like. Not sure how to implement with batch file. --- Callahan, Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to configure Tomcat 4.0.4's current working directory to point to sub directory of the webapps folder, rather than /bin?

RE: tomcat +iis working
Hi! Well, not much..few things are required like creating virtual directory under the web site with executable rights and one registry setting are required.. regards -NIHAR -Original Message- From: Steve Vu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2001 12:03 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: tomcat +iis working That's cool Nihar. The thing you said that interests me is using both ASP and JSP. Did you have to do any special configuration after connecting IIs to Tomcat? We are using ASP at work but may consider using JSP, so being able to do this would make the transition a lot easier. I'm guessing that there's not too much config necessary? IIS automatically handles ASP and Tomcat takes all JSP requests? Thanks for any info. The more detail the beter.

Re: tomcat not working totally...
What JDK version do you have installed? It looks to me like the file tools.jar is not in your CLASSPATH. Should be located in JAVA_HOME/lib Let me know if that helps.

Re: tomcat not working totally...
Yep. That will do it. Grab JDK 1.2.. That will take care of your problem.
