https problem after upgrading from Tomcat 5.5 to Tomcat 6
Hi, I've been trying to upgrade from Tomcat 5.5.26 to Tomcat 6.0.18 for the past couple days but just cannot get https to work. Everything works as expected in Tomcat 5.5. Plain old http works in Tomcat 6, but the moment I try to switch to https, the connection just times out.

Hi Rainer,
The problem got fixed as apr-devel package for 64-bit architecture was
missing on the server. This is acutally a yum bug which does not
install apr-devel 64-bit package for httpd-devel package.

Good JSP editor
Hi there, I know it is better for me to ask this quetion in a jsp forum, but I couldn't find one for mailing list . And you guys are very helpful too in terms of this experience. If you are using a good jsp editor, can you tell me where its download link? My current development enviornment is Eclipse 3.4 and Tomcat 5.5.26 Thanks

Re: Tomcat 5.5. META-INF/context.xml ignored when deploying as war.
Eric Berry wrote: Mark, Chuck, Thank you both very much for the detailed explanations. I can certainly see how this would definitely speed development along, and how - in most cases - the context.xml is unnecessary. I myself, have rarely used them unless as Mark mentioned, I needed specific context parameters. In this case however, I'm using maven 2 to build the war file locally, and maven 2 is appending the version and -SNAPSHOT to the war (as well as the exploded war directory). This simply means that I have to rename the war every time in order to deploy it. I was trying to use the Context/path to remove a little bit of tedium on my part. Not a really big deal, but I would like to ask why the path attribute is ignored - meaning, why originally was the decision made to ignore it in this type of situation? It was part of a re-write of the deployer. There were several aims including: - simplify the code - make behaviour more consistent - make behaviour easier to predict One of the benefits of this change is that the process of determining a context path from a war/dir/context.xml file is much, much simpler.

Re: Tomcat 6 and corruption of text in French error pages
André-John Mas wrote: Hi, I have Tomcat 6 installed on a French version of Windows XP. When error pages, such as the 404 error page, appear the French text is corrupted. For example, instead of the expected: La ressource demandée (/manager/html) n'est pas disponible. I get: La ressource demand�e (/manager/html) n'est pas disponible. This would appear to indicate that the page is being encoded as UTF-8 and then treated as ISO-8859-1. The display is consistent in all browsers I have tested with, which include IE6, Safari and Firefox. Has anyone seen this and do they know how to resolve it? I know I could simply use my own error page, but that is not the answer I am looking for, That would be a bug. Add it to bugzilla and someone will take a look. The error page probably just needs to set the response charset although it could be a little more complex. If you fancy trying to write this patch yourself, just shout.

Here is what I have found: 1) http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/j k/ config/IISConfig.html It is some Tomcat class that writes IIS configuration files for you (e.g. as the initial configuration of the server). Note the noRoot configuration attribute. If you examine the sources of that class, you may note, that root context (ctxPath equals ) have some special processing. That includes the following comment: # Note: To correctly serve the Tomcat's root context, IIS's Home Directory must # must be set to: \ + getAbsoluteDocBase(context) + \ May be that is what you are missing? Somehow I cannot not find any mention of root context specifics in the tomcat and tomcat connector documention and wiki. 2) The following two articles might be useful: http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=8 http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/14/HOWTO_IIS_6_Reques t_ Processing_Basics_Part_1.aspx I did not read them through, though.

Virtual Hosting of Mutliple Domains
I added a host entry in the format of www.mydomain.com. Its a very simple site with only an index.html so that I can get the config straight before loading a bunch of content. There is no domain specific context given. I created a folder in the format mydomain.com is the /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps directory and the index file is the only file in the folder domain.com. I used the tomcat manager to deploy the 'app'. When I access the site from the link in the tomcat manager, the page is displayed as expected. when I try to access it using the domain name on the local server, get a blank screen. When I try to bring the page up from another computer, I get HTTP 400 - Bad Request Any ideas? This seems simple enough, but I obviously missed a step somewhere. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone that has had similar issues and got it resolved. I need to get this going so that I can move on to developing the sites.

Tomcat vs Weblogic JNDI Lookup
The Weblogic servers we are using have been configured to allow JNDI datasource names like appds. For development (localhost), we might be running Tomcat and when declared in the context section of server.xml, Tomcat will hang JNDI datasources on java:comp/env/jdbc/* in the JNDI tree. *Problem:* in Weblogic, the JNDI lookup is appds whilst in Tomcat, it seems that that I must provide the formal java:comp/env/jdbc/appds. I'm afraid the Tomcat version is an implicit standard but unfortunately, I can't change Weblogic's config ... so that means we end up with two different spring config files (we're using spring 2.5) to facilitate the different environments. Is there an elegant way to address this. Can I look JNDI names up directly in Tomcat?

Re: symlinks in webapps
Of course you *could* do something to encourage a double deploy and get the desired result. Just make a context xml file named after the second context path and set it's docbase to point to the original webapp's folder. It'd look something like this: Assuming you have this in your conf/[Engine name]/[Host name] directory for the original webapp in webapps/originalWebapp (URL would be http://localhost:8080/originalWebapp): originalWebapp.xml: Context!-- Define resources here -- /Context The second context xml file, named secondInstance.xml (URL would be http://localhost:8080/secondInstance): Context docBase=originalWebapp !-- Define second instance resources if any -- /Context That should deploy the webapp a second time.

Re: symlinks in webapps
I don't think that's true - each directory or .war file in the appBase directory will cause a separate application deployment, which is what I thought you wanted. As you may have noted, I am not a Tomcat expert so you are probably right. But my app logs in catalina.out when it reads its config files, and when I made a symlink in webapps/ to the same webapp it happened just once, while if I create more contexts blocks in server.xml it loads as many times as are the instances. Another evidence is that the app create a connection pool of 10 connections to an LDAP server, and with the server just started I have exactly 20 established connections , while I was used to only 10 with the old method. 1) Implement a valve or filter that catches references to the alternate URLs and redirects or forwards them to the primary. I am going to study how to accomplish this. Will let you know. 2) Create dummy webapps for the alternate URLs that contain nothing but an index.html page that redirects to the primary. This does not sound really clean :) I will keep it as last resort... -- Claudio Tassini
Re: Need help with Tomcat MBean support
Okay using approach of first article. The MBean server is correctly initialized and everything on the server side looks good. Now we come to the client side. The first article assumes you are just going to connect using a tool such as MC4J or JManage (monitoring tools). That is not my use case. I want to write a command-line client that can talk to the MBean (which is inside of Tomcat) and invoke an operation on the MBean. I use the Client.java sample from the Sun tutorial as a starting point. I am able to connect to the server, and get a list of MBeans, but I fail when trying to call createMBean(). I am using the simple two-parameter version of createMBean() and it always fails with javax.management.ReflectionException: The MBean class could not be loaded by the default loader repository It seems pretty clear that my client needs to use one of the other versions of createMBean(), one that specifies some other Class Loader but I have no clue what I should be using for that.

Hall wrote: Steve Cohen wrote: Let me ask my question a little more directly: Does the presence of a descriptor cause instantiation of an instance of an MBean or do I have to write code to create a server-side instance of my MBean and if so, where should this code reside or is there some configuration artifact that causes this instantiation to happen?

RE: Tomcat vs Weblogic JNDI Lookup
if you use a JNDI lookup with a declared namespace such as xmlns:jee=http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee; more specifically in the case of spring http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee.xsd where jndi-name is declared to be xsd:attribute name=jndi-name type=xsd:string use=required xsd:annotation xsd:documentationThe JNDI name to look up./xsd:documentation /xsd:annotation /xsd:attribute which can then reference a specific jdbc resource supplying provided jndi-name of jpetstore-order such as jee:jndi-lookup id=orderDataSource jndi-name=java:comp/env/jdbc/jpetstore-order/ I dont know what specific resource you are trying to locate with wildcard nulls we might be able to help out better if you could explain your specific testcase HTH Martin __ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.

Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 12:22:54 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat vs Weblogic JNDI Lookup The Weblogic servers we are using have been configured to allow JNDI datasource names like appds. For development (localhost), we might be running Tomcat and when declared in the context section of server.xml, Tomcat will hang JNDI datasources on java:comp/env/jdbc/* in the JNDI tree. *Problem:* in Weblogic, the JNDI lookup is appds whilst in Tomcat, it seems that that I must provide the formal java:comp/env/jdbc/appds. I'm afraid the Tomcat version is an implicit standard but unfortunately, I can't change Weblogic's config ... so that means we end up with two different spring config files (we're using spring 2.5) to facilitate the different environments. Is there an elegant way to address this. Can I look JNDI names up directly in Tomcat? _ See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/
Newbies, becareful of pure cookie based magic... theres a few gotcha's
I see this in the Netbeans group and its popping up its ugly head and making other area's complex. It seems with these modern day frameworks, I have an idea which one it is in particular but wont mention names... that its possible to build an entire site behind one URL http://mydomain/IamInTroubleProject and every thing is cookie managed and delivered behind this URL... If you are doing that... just start by asking yourself, how google is going to index it... the actual content. And as I'm starting to realize there are other issues like caching proxies and the like... Going to add this to my other no no's like those people that insist on building entire site only in JSP pages... but this one is actually a big gotcha, especially when the client comes back and says... um I want them to find the stuff I'm selling ;) Have Fun... --- HARBOR : http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/index.htm The most powerful application server on earth.

if you want to leave the cookies behind you'll have to request the filter to rewrite your URLs with the params http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ you should be able to implement your filter with netbeans or Jdeveloper or eclipse with no impact to your work..
