Re: managing user uploads best practices
Totally agree with everything brien says below. I also run a web site with a large number of media objects. I've been involved in filing system and media projects for many years both in research and production capacity. The slight increase in complexity of the solution to maintain the media objects outside the database is completely offset by the huge improvement in performance of the database. Also it is particularly worth stressing the backup advantages. If you have 10,000 users (not a large number these days) each with 5 images and/or one podcast you are going to have very, very large monolithic database backups which are either going to be in a binary form and thus very opaque or simply huge as sql dumps unless you separate the binary data. Another advantage is that it allows you to have a very scalable media server. The media server does not have to participate in the session. You can have a number of independent media servers who simply download files identified by an ID. The media server(s) don't have to be on the same box, platform or even in the same building. The issues of clustering simply go away (a media download is a single operation and thus does not benefit from clustering.) If you are running a large number of concurrent downloads, you only need a trivial load balancing front end server to direct requests at the media servers. If you require authentication to restrict access to the media then you may have a bit more work to do but it is not too difficult. So if you have a site with a lot of media, you can tune the application component to be small and responsive and the media delivery components to be simple and fast and optimizied for continuous download. brien colwell wrote: On the topic of DB versus filesystem for media, I prefer storing media in a filesystem and meta data in a DB. The advantages of storing large binary files outside of the DB are * Reduce contention in the DB -- it's doing so much * You have more control with a filesystem where your data goes -- e.g. you can have a disk for one type of data, and another disk for a different type * Filesystems are optimized to stream out data ... which I think makes sense That first point is really key. If you're serving data to a UI from the same database you're storing large files into, the whole experience is going to suffer. The best article I've read on this topic is http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-will-not-blob.html The main scale issue I'm careful of is how many files I put per directory. For large amounts of files, I sometimes link directories into trees. I might be a little paranoid about this, but it seems to scale well. In terms of backup and security, I think a FS is easier to manage -- e.g. chmod and rsync on a cron job -- though you'll have to write more code and scripts. You also have to be careful of things like shell injection if you're running shell commands from your webserver. Anyway, hope that gives some help.

rotating catalina.out using log4j
Hi, I am trying to implement the catalina.out log rotation in the development environment (for now and will implement to other environments once I figure this out) using log4j.

I copied the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib and created the log4j.properties in the common/classes. However, when I stop and start the apache-tomcat the cataline.out is not rotating.

Apache2 + Tomcat5 + mod_jk mounting issues
Hi - sorry if this is a repost as I found my email wasn't properly validated, We have a set-up of Apache 2 and Tomcat 5 on our dev server (running Debian). I have a VirtualHost set up that has a JkMount in it that corresponds to a Tomcat webapp (so far so standard), like JkMount /*webapp* ajpw13 (which is a configured worker). I am also using mod_rewrite; my rewrite.conf contains mappings like RewriteRule ^/blah/?$ /servlet/blah. These mappings and rewrites work perfectly on my local machine (running XP) and on a colleague's box (running OSX). When we deploy to our Dev server, we find that things almost but don't quite work. We enter a URL, e.g. http://dev.abc.com/blah and, on my machine and my colleague's this gets neatly mapped to the JkMount point. On the Debian box this doesn't happen, and I find myself having to use http://dev.abc.com/servlet/blah to get to the JkMount point. Is there something obvious that I might have done/not done? I've never had this problem before? A suitable Connector is set up in my server.xml too... Thanks, Phil. This email has been scanned by Postini.

Are there any errors in the Tomcat logs? Are the requests even getting to the Tomcat server? You can have Apache, Tomcat and mod_jk log all requests to see if they're getting lost somewhere.

Re: Out of Memory Errors when upgrading from 5.0.27 to 6.0.14
Chuck, I updated the server.xml for this user to be: Host name='www.domain.com' debug='0' appBase='/home/user/html' unpackWARs='true' autoDeploy='false' Aliasdomain.com/Alias Valve className='org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn' debug='0'/ Valve className='org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve' directory='/var/log/user' prefix='tomcat_access.' suffix='.log' pattern='common' resolveHosts='false'/ /Host I added a ROOT directory in /home/user/html, with a META-INF and WEB-INF directory in it. Added context.xml with the contents of: Context debug='0' reloadable='false'/ inside META-INF. Removed WEB-INF from /home/user/html. Removed all contents from the Tomcat work directory as well. When starting tomcat, however, the work directory is still full of directories that have nothing to do with the actual application.

Make two authentication schemes coexist on the same app
Hi. I have a web app with standard form authentication and a custom JDBCRealm. Now, I need to enable client certificate authentication, and be able to use both authentication mechanisms (certificates when the user sends them, and standard login form when he doesn't). I don't know if this is even possible. I think I can validate the user's certificates when he tries to access a secure area using a Filter, but I have no way to set the Principal on the CoyoteRequestFacade (since the facade prevents me from using the setUserPrincipal present on CoyoteRequest). Any idea? Thanks in advance. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make Tomcat not clean directory on new deployment
Hello people, First, I would like to thank you all for your work on this great project. Tomcat is, was, and will be my favourite webapp server from a long time ;) I never need to do a lot with its internal configuration, but now I'm asking myself if the following stuff could be done: I have an upload directory in my app. Users send us some files (pictures and swf) and I put them in this directory. But when I make some update of my webapp, I deploy a .war file. But *this one doesn't have all the images* that were previously on the server! Is it possible to tell Tomcat not to clean the webapp directory when a war file is deployed? Thank you vm ;) - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: rotating catalina.out using log4j
catalina.out is just the sink for System.out and System.err, it's not managed by logging facilities. It's not even seen by jvm, as the redirection is done in the startup script (using the shell '' redirector). If you configure a log4j logger for tomcat that uses an other file (see below our simple config) and teach all your webapps to not use stdout and stderr, you shouldn't see anymore things appear in catalina.out. If you still need rolling of file during startup, you will need to ask external tools (like unix logrotate) to do it for you. ..common/classes# cat log4j.properties log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=./logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=30MB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=20 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n En l'instant précis du 11/02/08 17:39, Amir Fadaghi s'exprimait en ces termes: Hi, I am trying to implement the catalina.out log rotation in the development environment (for now and will implement to other environments once I figure this out) using log4j.

Re: catalina.out is not reloading
I am guessing... Somewhere in the script there should be a catalina.out to append to catalina.out. Change that to catalina.out so that the old file is automatically rewritten.

It should simply be appended to as messages are generated. Are you saying you want the file to be deleted and started fresh on every tomcat startup? --David persistence k wrote: Hi, whenever I restart the tomcat in linux, the file ' catalina.out ' is not automatically reloading just like the file ' std.out ' does in windows. ' catalina.out ' file containing all the 'System.out ' statements printed from the day tomcat was installed in my linux system. Please tell me a solution so that the file ' catalina.out ' gets reloaded for each and every time I made change in WEB UI. -Persistence - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Very strange problem with forms ...
Hello, I know that this list isn't for web developping but I have impression that maybe tomcat makes problems so I'm writting here ... I made very simple web application. Namely on the main page there is list of records (list.jsp). I can create new record, edit and delete. So when user clicks ADD or EDIT then new page appears (article.jsp) with 2 form fields, and ... when user press SAVE then: 1. it goes to article.jsp 2. check if information from these 2 fields are valid 3. makes INSERT or UPDATE in the database 4. performs redirection to the list.jsp. Normally it works perfectly ... but sometimes when the user press SAVE then it lands again in article.jsp and it doesn't save the data. Here are two cases: 1. Sometimes when the user press SAVE then he sees form with data (which he typed in) but he can press SAVE 100 times but stil he sees this same filled form (he doesn't save in the database and doesn't jump to the list.jsp). 2. OR ... sometimes when the user press SAVE then he sees empty form but user can fill form again and press SAVE but stil he sees this same empty form (he doesn't save in the database and doesn't jump to list.jsp). Of course the form-data are in both cases valid. It helps only when user closes browser and opens it again. About 60-70 users works with that application. Most of them works with Internet Explorer 6. It happens only sometimes. I wasn't able to reproduce this error, it didn't happen to me. I made this application in JSF+Spring+Hibernate. I wasn't able to find the solution, I coundn't reproduce error and find the reason. So I made this application so simple as it's possible, namely in pure JSP, connection with database via JDBC. But this error also appears. I made thousands such applications and i didn't have such strange problems. This forms behaves like POST data would be removed (all or partly). There are no any exceptions or errors in logs. Do you have any idea what could it be ? Did anyone have such problems ?
