The Travel Assistance Committee is taking in applications for those wanting
to attend ApacheCon US 2009 (Oakland) which takes place between the 2nd and
6th November 2009.

The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be
able to attend ApacheCon US 2009 who may need some financial support in
order to get there. There are limited places available, and all applications
will be scored on their individual merit. Applications are open to all open
source developers who feel that their attendance would benefit themselves,
their project(s), the ASF and open source in general.

Financial assistance is available for flights, accommodation, subsistence
and Conference fees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances.
It is intended that all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be
prudent for those in Europe and/or Asia to wait until an event closer to
them comes up - you are all welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but
there should be compelling reasons for you to attend an event further away
that your home location for your application to be considered above those
closer to the event location.

More information can be found on the main Apache website at
http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link to
the online application and details for submitting.

Applications for applying for travel assistance will open on 27th July 2009
and close of the 17th August 2009.

Good luck to all those that will apply.

Regards,

The Travel Assistance Committee

tomcat process not closing from operating system level

2009-07-22 Thread santosh.singh

Hi
 
The problem is that when tomcat starts this process exists but after
shutting down the tomcat still this process is existing at operating
system level and in this way after many times tomcat startup and
shutdown many processes as same below showing and due to that JDBC
sessions from Oracle database level is not closing. Manually when we use
to kill those sessions, immediately JDBC sessions closed.

Editing startup.sh - help

2009-07-22 Thread alee amin

I am trying to add the following option for tomcat startup in startup.sh
file
JAVA_OPTS=$JAVA_OPTS:
-Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false

It's added at line # 36 of startup.sh and then i run the tomcat from
terminal by issuing ./startup.sh command. and it gives me error
-Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false Command not
found


The same thing i did in startup.bat under windows environment and it worked
fine. Is there any other way to edit startup.sh file? or what i am doing
wrong?

Thanks

RE: Configuring worker MPM for Tomcat

2009-07-22 Thread Martin Gainty


if your long range goal is to use a performant multi-thread based configuration 
with the proviso that once set on the path you need to ensure all of Apache 
modules and binaries use multi-threaded libraries 
assuming you have apache-2.2.11 the --with-mpm=worker will deliver the worker 
based apache binaries you seek
./configure --enable-mods-shared=all --prefix=$HOME/webapps/(Application 
Name)/apache2 --with-mpm=worker
make
make install
a good tutorial is located here

Re: some processes are not closing from operating system level even after shutting down the tomcat.

The default answer is to check your webapps for non-daemon threads not
properly closed by the webapp.  Some webapp has created it's own
non-daemon threads without a ServletContextListener to close them down. 
Let ups know if that's not the case.

Re: Fwd: Is it not possible to install apache-tomcat-6.0.20 with a J2SE 5 JRE: A new development


Varuna,

I am not trying to bully you or anything of the kind.
I have been watching this thread as a spectator, and I was just trying 
to convey to you the following :

There are people here trying to help you, for free.
To be able to do that, they need, at least :
- that you provide all relevant information
- that when they ask a question, you answer the question
This anti-virus thing was valuable information, and it may be at the 
bottom of your problems.  But it took about 10 posts before you 
mentioned these messages, thus leading several would-be helpers into 
probably bad directions.
Similarly, it looks a bit like every item of information has to be 
pulled out of you bit by bit.

In other words, much of your pain looks self-inflicted.

That was the sense of my comment.  Which, I admit, was made in a rather 
sarcastic way, for which I apologise if it shocked you.


Now, to redeem myself, here are my suggestions :

- turn off any anti-virus or similar software that might be running
- de-install whatever Tomcat software you have installed, using the 
installer/deinstaller package
- verify that you do not have any remainders anywhere of these 
installations (in the Windows Services display, in the disk directory 
where you installed Tomcat, and in the Start.. Settings.. System 
..Software dialog).


When everything is clean :

- download the zip version of Tomcat for Windows, from the Tomcat website.
- unzip it in a directory.  I suggest a sensible directory name, without 
spaces in the name, like c:\tomcat6.
This is now your CATALINA_HOME directory (and also, by default, your 
CATALINA_BASE directory). Remember this, it is important.
- in the directory CATALINA_HOME/bin, you will then find a script called 
startup.bat.  Open a command window, navigate to that directory, and 
run that script.

This should start Tomcat, interactively, in that command window.
This is only to verify that nothing else is wrong on your system to run 
Tomcat (like available ports, etc..).
- you should now be able to access Tomcat with a browser, at 
http://localhost:8080;

- to stop Tomcat, type CTRL-C in the command window.

Once you have done the above, then you can try to install Tomcat as a 
service.

For that, run the script CATALINA_HOME/bin/service.bat install
(you can also edit this script, to see what it is doing)

When you have run this script, you will have essentially done the same 
as what the exe installer package for Tomcat is doing.  But you will 
have much more control and understanding of what is going on, and where 
things may get stuck.


You should now be able to start and stop Tomcat using the commands
net start tomcat6
net stop tomcat6
(the name tomcat6 above to be replaced by the correct Windows Service 
name for Tomcat)

or by using My Computer..Manage..Services and Applications)

If you want, you can then remove the Tomcat service again, by running 
service.bat remove, and try again to install the whole thing from the 
exe installer version.


Additional information, harder to find in the on-line documentation :

- the tomcat6.exe program that comes with the Windows version of 
Tomcat, is a Windows Service wrapper for Tomcat.  It is there because 
the JVM, on its own, does not handle very well the requirements of 
Windows Services.
So, when later you run Tomcat, you are really running tomcat6.exe, 
which in turn starts the JVM, which in turn runs Tomcat.
This tomcat6.exe wrapper, in order to know which JVM to use with which 
parameters, takes these parameters from the Windows Registry.

How do they get there ? that is the next section.

- There is another program in the CATALINA_HOME/bin directory, named 
tomcat6w.exe (the same name as before, with a w at the end).
The tomcat6w.exe is a GUI setup program, whose role is to set up the 
appropriate parameters in the Windows Registry, so that tomcat6.exe 
can later find them.  You can run tomcat6w.exe by clicking on it, and 
you will get a window that shows you how to proceed.


Basically, the service.bat script, invokes this tomcat6w.exe in 
command-line mode, and tells it what to do.

Probably there needed to be a \ line continuation above the line you

RE: implement dynamic filter

 From: lanxiazhi [mailto:lanxia...@gmail.com]
 Subject: implement dynamic filter

 I have a web app in tomcat ,where exists some .jsp,.vm files,
 these files are saved using different encoding(I think).

Why don't you simply fix the encoding the files are stored in?  Use UTF-8 to 
avoid never-ending problems.  Your idea of using a filter at run-time to 
correct sloppy deployments is akin to the kludges in Internet Explorer - a 
continual source of trouble.

Re: Tomcat6 CentOS runlevel startup issue

2009-07-22 Thread Mark Shifman

You need to add lines like this to the init script.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4445
# chkconfig: 345 80 20
# description: Tomcat 6.0
so it knows to start on reboot.

You also may want to use jsvc to start and stop tomcat instead of
 [startup|shutdown].sh
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html
this allows you to run tomcat as another user.
Example scripts are included in TOMCAT_HOME/bin/jsvc.tar.gz

My first thought is it's starting too early but that doesn't make a lot

 validation check should be done on the Host value to prevent such an
 attack.
 
 Appreciate any inputs are to whether this issue has been fixed ?.

You'll need to provide more details. Nothing stands out from the security pages.

Please provide step by step instructions to reproduce from a clean Tomcat
installation.

Please also note that potential security vulnerabilities should be reported
privately (see http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html), rather than to a public
list. Since you have posted to a public list, there is no point continuing in
private.

Now, to redeem myself, here are my suggestions :

- turn off any anti-virus or similar software that might be running
- de-install whatever Tomcat software you have installed, using the 
installer/deinstaller package
- verify that you do not have any remainders anywhere of these 
installations (in the Windows Services display, in the disk 
directory where you installed Tomcat, and in the Start.. Settings.. 
System ..Software dialog).


When everything is clean :

- download the zip version of Tomcat for Windows, from the Tomcat 
website.
- unzip it in a directory.  I suggest a sensible directory name, 
without spaces in the name, like c:\tomcat6.
This is now your CATALINA_HOME directory (and also, by default, your 
CATALINA_BASE directory). Remember this, it is important.
- in the directory CATALINA_HOME/bin, you will then find a script 
called startup.bat.  Open a command window, navigate to that 
directory, and run that script.

This should start Tomcat, interactively, in that command window.
This is only to verify that nothing else is wrong on your system to 
run Tomcat (like available ports, etc..).
- you should now be able to access Tomcat with a browser, at 
http://localhost:8080;

- to stop Tomcat, type CTRL-C in the command window.

Once you have done the above, then you can try to install Tomcat as a 
service.

For that, run the script CATALINA_HOME/bin/service.bat install
(you can also edit this script, to see what it is doing)

When you have run this script, you will have essentially done the same 
as what the exe installer package for Tomcat is doing.  But you will 
have much more control and understanding of what is going on, and 
where things may get stuck.


You should now be able to start and stop Tomcat using the commands
net start tomcat6
net stop tomcat6
(the name tomcat6 above to be replaced by the correct Windows 
Service name for Tomcat)

or by using My Computer..Manage..Services and Applications)

If you want, you can then remove the Tomcat service again, by running 
service.bat remove, and try again to install the whole thing from 
the exe installer version.


Additional information, harder to find in the on-line documentation :

- the tomcat6.exe program that comes with the Windows version of 
Tomcat, is a Windows Service wrapper for Tomcat.  It is there 
because the JVM, on its own, does not handle very well the 
requirements of Windows Services.
So, when later you run Tomcat, you are really running tomcat6.exe, 
which in turn starts the JVM, which in turn runs Tomcat.
This tomcat6.exe wrapper, in order to know which JVM to use with 
which parameters, takes these parameters from the Windows Registry.

How do they get there ? that is the next section.

- There is another program in the CATALINA_HOME/bin directory, named 
tomcat6w.exe (the same name as before, with a w at the end).
The tomcat6w.exe is a GUI setup program, whose role is to set up the 
appropriate parameters in the Windows Registry, so that tomcat6.exe 
can later find them.  You can run tomcat6w.exe by clicking on it, 
and you will get a window that shows you how to proceed.


Basically, the service.bat script, invokes this tomcat6w.exe in 
command-line mode, and tells it what to do.
And that, friends, is the best quick start summary for setting up 
tomcat I've ever seen.  It took me weeks to put together in my mind all 
the pieces that Andre' just presented to you on a platter!!  How about 
putting it into the docs or some other very visible location...

lanxiazhi



Answering your last question first : that is close to impossible.
It is not even the question of slowing down the server, it is really 
that detecting the charset is not possible in a number of cases.

Very shortly :
- it is is usually possible to detect if a given file is valid UTF-8 or not.
- but it is not possible to decide if a file encoded in an 8-bit 
alphabet (such as iso-8859-1) is iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-2 or any other 
8-bit character set (because they all use bytes with a value between 
\x00 and \xFF, so how can you decide ?).


Given this, your best bet is to correct the problem at the source :
Any text file, in any original encoding, can be converted to 
UTF-8/Unicode.  So clean up the original files, and always send them 
back as UTF-8.  All reasonably recent browsers support that.

Re: Editing startup.sh - help

2009-07-22 Thread Konstantin Kolinko

I agree with what David writes below, and in addition
1. There should be no : after $JAVA_OPTS.  It is not a classpath.
2. The preferred way is create a setenv.sh file, either in
$CATALINA_BASE\bin or in $CATALINA_HOME\bin
3. For setting these properties there is an easier way: add the following line
org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false
to the catalina.properties file


Best regards,

2009/7/22 David Smith d...@cornell.edu:
 Probably there needed to be a \ line continuation above the line you
 added.  Additionally I believe this stuff should find it's way into a
 separate setenv.sh file instead of editing startup.sh.

Application Context (and/or) SERVICE element load orders when starting Tomcat 5/6.

2009-07-22 Thread JeanNiBee

I have two application contexts, /RAM and /UO.

OU needs to have RAM running before it can do anything as I have startup
code (Fired during init of my servlet) in UO that needs to access RAM.

The problem I have is that when I do startup the Tomcat container, the
minute my 'init code' get's executed in UO, it locks the whole container
mainly because it's using HTTP calls to RAM to access it's information
(which hasn't started up yet).

Classic (as I see it) chicken and the egg scenario, UO can't start because
RAM isn't started and the whole container is locking HTTP connections
because all the app contexts aren't started.

Is there any way that I can have these two application contexts exist
peacefully without causing this condition? Can I force the load order of app
contexts (though using multiple service setups in the server.xml?

Or am I looking at having (and due to business reasons this is 'almost' not
a solution) two installations of tomcat each managing one of the apps.

Note:
I have tried the following.

1. Ping servlet in UO that pings RAM And sleeps for X seconds until RAM is
running. After 5 tries and 2 mintues (10x more than RAM needs in a normal
situation to start) I call destroy on the servlet and kill the startup
process. Running on the same container / servlet actually causes the LOCK on
the very first HTTP ping to RAM and a subsequent stopping of Tomcat load
altogether (system.exit call)
2. Two Service configuration elements in the server.xml each managing it's
own resources. This option worked better as UO would ping / sleep
successfully for its' configured iterations, but RAM would never be started
until UO was finished it's tries. If I left the 'die' code in UO then of
course nothing loaded (as mentioned abovein point #1), but if I took out the
die code, RAM loaded AFTER UO no problem. I would LOVE UO to be last if
possible.

It seems I can never get RAM to load before UO. (or at least let it keep
loading while UO sleeps on it's ping requests.

Thanks.

At least, if there are concerns about that, there is a workaround:

you can specify proxyName  attribute on a Connector element in server.xml

In that case the one that is in request will be ignored.

You can't control the order the apps start in. It will be arbitrary.

You could try the following:

Add a filter to OU that is mapped to /*. It checks for RAM, it RAM isn't running
the requests are blocked. Once RAM is running it lets requests through and then

As Mark points out, this is configurable in 6.0.19.

When multiple JSESSIONID cookies exist, Tomcat will try them, one at a
time, until it finds one that matches a valid session in the container,
so multiple JSESSIONID cookies shouldn't be a problem.

If you call request.getRequestedSessionId() and it did not produce a
valid session, then the session id will appear to be wonky. It would be
better to call request.getSession().getId() to be sure you're really
using the right session id.

Uwe, are you seeing this strange JSESSIONID in the request headers (via
an HTTP sniffer) or are you accessing this id through the API? I'm
wondering if you are drawing an improper conclusion. You weren't
specific about the circumstances so it's tough to diagnose.

2009-07-22 Thread JeanNiBee

So in effect I'm deferring all interaction w/ RAM to be at request time and
not startup time correct?

I guess I could even take it one step further (and easier to implement I
think) where I build some static singleton initializer that manages an am I
loaded properly flag and if not, loads its data (This is the RAM
interaction) otherwise just handle the request normally.

It adds an extra check but checking if( ApplicationStatus.IS_LOADED ) isn't
such a big deal in the long run.

That is unless we're not talking the same thing here. :)

What would be the best way or a good way to monitor topcat, so i could see
when and where any errors are originating from, say if 10 people an hour are
getting a certain http error code then I can work out why and enable me to
see how much load tomcat is under and how it's performing?

I found Lambaprobe but it dosent seem to have been updated in 3 years and im
not sure about it supporting tomcat 6.

To paraphrase, how do you know when it's time (or nearly time) to upgrade

Tomcat monitoring for the Poor Man...

Here's my approach:

The Tomcat application generates counter/gauge information about the JVM 
state as well about business values, possibly using a separate thread.
These are written to the database or exported through a servlet which 
can be queried by HTTP.


I then use a homemade script to fetch and preprocess and RRDtool to 
graph the state of the JVM or the other values of interest.


This involves some tedious setup work, but can give results of interest 
(e.g. I see when it is time to restart Tomcat because of a memory leak etc)

 Hi Uwe
 
 I've seen something very similar when a SAP server was incorrectly

 organisation, rather than scoped to the server that produced it. The 
 (J2EE13679500) and End parts of the session ID look 
 suspiciously like 
 what I saw.
 
 The only fix was to correctly configure the offending server 
 - there is 
 nothing Tomcat can do. When a browser has two cookies with 
 the same name in 
 scope, the outcome is indeterminate. We found that the wider 
 scoped cookie 
 took precedence. I've often thought the name of the 
 JSESSIONID cookie should 
 be configurable, but to my knowledge it is hard-coded.
 
 If this is the problem, then it is your client's problem 
 (unless you are 
 seeing it from inside your intranet).

Hi,

If you can identify that an error occurred, yes. For example, if an 
Exception is thrown,
you would catch it at the top servlet, then update a counter value 
accordingly. This value can then
be graphed. The Tomcat load would be the number of servlets currently 
running, also a

graphable gauge etc.

But it's all manual work, nothing general. Plus, RRDtool has its nasty 
quirks and I had to embed it into lots of
Perl to automate tasks. If you are interested, I can upload it, but it 
does not exactly have the smoothness of

an RPM installation.

Still, the results can be nice: 
http://public.m-plify.net/examples/RRDTOOL.png


I haven't looked at Lambda Probe though. As I am being pushed to JBoss 
now, this might be a

good occasion.

Best regards,

-- David

 I am toying with the idea of writing my own Realm for authentication.
 Much of the code and structures that I need are already present in the

 loader.

 As an alternative is there a mechanism for providing the functionality
 of a Realm, but within the web application structure?

 You can define the Realm in your context.xml, (which of course you'll
 be configuring in the META-INF dir of your web-app, hint hint).

 I think this will load classes from your web-app classloader.


 N.B. Check out the localDataSource attribute, if you're also using a
 web-app specific DataSource.

 http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#DataSourceRealm

I found that I can define the Realm in the conext.xml in my WEB-INF, but
it is not being located - getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException when
the web app deploys/starts.  I've triple checked that the class files
are there in WEB-INF/classes.  I also tried putting in a jar in
WEB-INF/ilb.  I'm guessing that the Realm is still being loaded in a
different class loader.  I would guess the Realm is loaded in the
common class loader, as defined at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html. 

Any other ideas?

 Tomcat monitoring for the Poor Man...

 Here's my approach:

 The Tomcat application generates counter/gauge information about the JVM
 state as well about business values, possibly using a separate thread.
 These are written to the database or exported through a servlet which can be
 queried by HTTP.

 I then use a homemade script to fetch and preprocess and RRDtool to graph
 the state of the JVM or the other values of interest.

Trouble setting up virtual host

2009-07-22 Thread Lisa D Beggs/AC/VCU

I am hoping you can help me.  I am trying to get a DNS entry that we set 
up www.websitename.edu (alias websitename.edu) to point to another page on 
our Crystal Reports Server (Infoview). 

We are running Tomcat 5.5.20.  I was told I need to set up a virtual host, 
I need to point the DNS entries to the logon.jsp page that is located in 
the Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\ directory. 

When I type in the above website from the server however, I get the 
default Tomcat home page.  So essentially I need to set it up so that the 
URL to the logon page is redirected to http://websitename.edu/logon.jsp or 
http://www.websitename.edu/logon.jsp and not the current - 
http://myserver:/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp.

Any suggestions, this is all new to me.

You can certainly use the context /mysite/ at the same time, though.

Force recompile of JSP in Tomcat 6

In a production environment in which JSPs do not change frequently, I'd 
like to reduce the overhead of checking for JSP recompiles, assuming 
that such checks are in fact costly, and instruct Tomcat to recompile a 
given JSP should it change.  In our environment, the JSP is written out 
by our web app.


I noted the page.jsp?jsp_precompile=true type of option, but this seems 
to have no effect if Tomcat's web.xml sets the JspServlet param 
development=false.

Programmatically reload webapp in Tomcat 6

2009-07-22 Thread David Wall

Manually, the Tomcat Manager web app allows me to easily restart a web 
app.  So, assuming I have the tomcat manager username and password, I 
can make a program invoke the same URL that probably would cause the web 
app to reload, using something like:


https://myhost.com/manager/html/reload?path=/THISONE

Is there a programmatic way to do this directly instead to make it 
easier to detect any errors or the like?  I basically would like a web 
app to be able to reload itself, without stopping Tomcat itself, such as 
after an automated download that installed some new versions of JARs and 
JSPs for the web app (allowing the web app to download upgrades, install 
them, then restart the web app so it's put into use).


Thanks,
David

If I create a folder in the base of my web application, for example:

  webapp/mydir

can I prevent access to it?

What I am wanting to do it create modules within my web application  
that contain the associated components:


  webapp/
 module/
   js/
   css/
   jsp/
   img/

The JSPs will be accessed via struts2, so I want to ensure that  
someone typing:


   http://../webapp/module/jsp/abc.jsp

won't be able to access the resource. I know I could put the JSPs in  
WEB-INF (it is what I do now), though I am wanting to explore another  
way of organising and grouping related resource, for easier management.

 I know I could put the JSPs in WEB-INF (it is what I do now),
 though I am wanting to explore another way of organising and
 grouping related resource, for easier management.

Since protection from direct access is one of the spec-defined uses of WEB-INF, 
why do you want to reinvent this already very round wheel?

You could try writing a filter that traps direct access.

Uh, say what? It's easier to manage put stuff in directory A versus
put stuff in directory B?

Why not make your life easy and leave it in WEB-INF???

I probably will, though I was wanting to examine the alternatives.

Here is one alternative:
use a servlet that will handle all the illegal accessed files by define
corresponding servlet-mapping in web.xml.
eg.mapping ErrorServlet to /code dir,and return error code SC_FORBIDDEN
(403).

Turns out I can do the following:

   security-constraint
 web-resource-collection
web-resource-nameJSP/web-resource-name
descriptionPrevents access to .jsp files/description
url-pattern*.jsp/url-pattern
  /web-resource-collection
  auth-constraint/
   /security-constraint

One other source suggested a filter. I have an answer to my question,  
now to see if it solves anything.

Re: is there any difference?

I'm fairly sure there is no difference between the two.  The browser
contacts www.google.com on the default port 80 and then sends a GET /
request regardless of whether the last '/' is in the address bar.  Take
a look at one of the many browser plugins like Firebug for Firefox to
see it for your self.

Now if you mean URLs like http://www.my.page.com/mydir becoming
http://www.my.page.com/mydir/, that's a different story.  I suspect the
first request get's a 30x redirect to the second one.

 what's the mechanism under this?

There's no effective difference, but the HTTP RFC requires the trailing slash 
when a specific resource is not in the URL.  That's why the browser adds the 
slash automatically to the host name URL, and the server sends a 302 back when 
the URL does not target a specific resource.

As you might expect, Tomcat does follow the HTTP RFC.

missing content-length header for HEAD request in mod_jk 1.2.28 with tomcat 6.0.18

2009-07-22 Thread Sameer Naik

Hi,

We observed that content-length header is missing in response headers for a 
HEAD request when used along with Apache 2.0.53, mod_jk 1.2.28 and tomcat 
6.0.18.

The header appears correctly when only mod_jk is rolled back to version 1.2.21 
(the previous production version for us).
Is this a known issue? Any work-around/solution for this?

Thanks,
Sameer

Andre,
  I am sorry if I got your remark from the wrong end and apologies if it
did heart you.I posted things on to the list as they unfolded.This anti
virus issue did not happen until a moment ago I made the post.From the
beginning of this issue I have not kept back any information that was
relevant to the issue and I thought relevant.

Well I did as you have instructed me


   1. *Stopped the Anti virus

   2. *Downloaded apache-tomcat-6.0.20.zip (core)*
   3. *Unzipped it to the directory apache-tomcat-6.0.20*

 Varuna,

 I am not trying to bully you or anything of the kind.
 I have been watching this thread as a spectator, and I was just trying to
 convey to you the following :
 There are people here trying to help you, for free.
 To be able to do that, they need, at least :
 - that you provide all relevant information
 - that when they ask a question, you answer the question
 This anti-virus thing was valuable information, and it may be at the bottom
 of your problems.  But it took about 10 posts before you mentioned these
 messages, thus leading several would-be helpers into probably bad
 directions.
 Similarly, it looks a bit like every item of information has to be pulled
 out of you bit by bit.
 In other words, much of your pain looks self-inflicted.

 That was the sense of my comment.  Which, I admit, was made in a rather
 sarcastic way, for which I apologise if it shocked you.

 Now, to redeem myself, here are my suggestions :

 - turn off any anti-virus or similar software that might be running
 - de-install whatever Tomcat software you have installed, using the
 installer/deinstaller package
 - verify that you do not have any remainders anywhere of these
 installations (in the Windows Services display, in the disk directory
 where you installed Tomcat, and in the Start.. Settings.. System
 ..Software dialog).

 When everything is clean :

 - download the zip version of Tomcat for Windows, from the Tomcat
 website.
 - unzip it in a directory.  I suggest a sensible directory name, without
 spaces in the name, like c:\tomcat6.
 This is now your CATALINA_HOME directory (and also, by default, your
 CATALINA_BASE directory). Remember this, it is important.
 - in the directory CATALINA_HOME/bin, you will then find a script called
 startup.bat.  Open a command window, navigate to that directory, and run
 that script.
 This should start Tomcat, interactively, in that command window.
 This is only to verify that nothing else is wrong on your system to run
 Tomcat (like available ports, etc..).
 - you should now be able to access Tomcat with a browser, at 
 http://localhost:8080;
 - to stop Tomcat, type CTRL-C in the command window.

 Once you have done the above, then you can try to install Tomcat as a
 service.
 For that, run the script CATALINA_HOME/bin/service.bat install
 (you can also edit this script, to see what it is doing)

 When you have run this script, you will have essentially done the same as
 what the exe installer package for Tomcat is doing.  But you will have
 much more control and understanding of what is going on, and where things
 may get stuck.

 You should now be able to start and stop Tomcat using the commands
 net start tomcat6
 net stop tomcat6
 (the name tomcat6 above to be replaced by the correct Windows Service
 name for Tomcat)
 or by using My Computer..Manage..Services and Applications)

 If you want, you can then remove the Tomcat service again, by running
 service.bat remove, and try again to install the whole thing from the
 exe installer version.

 Additional information, harder to find in the on-line documentation :

 - the tomcat6.exe program that comes with the Windows version of Tomcat,

In the file Tomcat 5.5\conf\catalina.properties I simply added this line:

org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false

To get rid of the jasper double quotes error.

Re: is there any difference?

2009-07-22 Thread lanxiazhi

hello,I found this in the servlet specification:

• The deployment descriptor lists the following welcome files.
welcome-file-list
welcome-fileindex.html/welcome-file
welcome-filedefault.jsp/welcome-file
/welcome-file-list
• The static content in the WAR is as follows
/foo/index.html
/foo/default.jsp
/foo/orderform.html
/foo/home.gif
/catalog/default.jsp
/catalog/products/shop.jsp
/catalog/products/register.jsp
• A request URI of /foo will be redirected to a URI of /foo/.
• A request URI of /foo/ will be returned as /foo/index.html.
• A request URI of /catalog will be redirected to a URI of /catalog/.

which matches what David said.
