Dynamic logging configuration updates in Tomcat
Hi- We have a web application in which we'd like to get dynamic logging working. By dynamic logging, I mean live changes to the webapps' logging.properties file are read and applied without having to restart Tomcat. We have all the code written and running but it appears to not work exactly as it should. That is, I can change a logger's logging level once and it works, but if I change it again, it doesn't. If I change the global logger level (.level) the change is picked up but, obviously, that affects ALL the loggers in our webapp. I pulled the code out of tomcat and ran it as a stand-alone Java application and it works perfectly. I then created a very tiny/simple webapp to run this logging code and the problem appears again. I'm at a loss as to what Tomcat can possibly be doing to prevent the properties from being read subsequent times after the first change. We're using the java.util.logging API and have our own LogHandler class. We have a ServletContextListener that starts a background thread when the webapp starts up. This background thread finds the logging.properties file for this webapp and if it has been modified in the last 60 second, creates an InputStream to this file and passes this InputStream to the LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(...) method. We are aware of this bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5035854 in the Java logging API, but we are using the workaround in this bug to reapply the logging levels. If we can't find a solution to this using readConfiguration(...), we have a solution we've not tried which is to read the properties file ourselves, and loop over the loggers applying any levels that have changed - which is exactly what the LogManager is doing - but at least this is our code. Again, we've not tried this brute-force method yet, so I don't know if it will work.

RE: Dynamic logging configuration updates in Tomcat
Wow, no one had any ideas as to what is going on? Anyway. We never figured out why Tomcat has an issue with this, but we found a suitable workaround by basically doing what the LogHandler does when it re-reads and refreshes the logging configuration - we take the new logging level values and apply them to their respective loggers. In fact, my first test was an exact copy of the LogHandler code and the test worked (i.e., dynamic logging worked), whereas using the LogHandler didn'th. --adam -Original Message- From: Adam Gordon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 1:55 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Dynamic logging configuration updates in Tomcat Hi- We have a web application in which we'd like to get dynamic logging working.

RE: Tomcat 5 and SSL
The file is called "cacerts" and is located in your Java SDK directory's jre/lib/security folder. I'm running Ubuntu and it's actually a simlink to a sub-directory in /etc. A fellow engineer is running Fedora 7 and it's not a simlink. Regarding your error, do you have gcj installed? And if so, does THAT java binary appear first in your path? The keytool command does not like gcj's java binary. If you don't have gcj installed, make sure the java binary on your path that's being used is indeed SUN's binary.

RE: How to share tomcat sessions across multiple IE windows
Hmmm, we have a webapp that requires authentication to launch a specific function and we spawn multiple windows with window.open() and we don't have any problem with the browser session IDs being changed. Are you switching from http to https or vice versa? This would certainly result in different session ID's being created. Additionally, if you're somehow invalidating the primary window's session before spawning the new window, then it would also get a new session ID. Hope that helps. --adam -Original Message- From: Adam Lipscombe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 2:54 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: How to share tomcat sessions across multiple IE windows Folks, Apologies, this is not strictly a tomcat question but I wonder if anyone else has run into it and has a solution. My app spawns another window to display help, via the window.open() javascript call. The new window does not share the same session as the original, the session ID is always different. Occasionally the ID of the new window is that of a session that has expired so the user is redirected to the login page. I think his behaviour is IE specific, I found a couple of (non tomcat) explanations here: http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general/how-do-i-manage-a-session-across-mu ltiple-windows.html. http://de3.php.net/session-start In the latter it says: "The problem is that IE doesn't always use the same IE process to host a new pop-up window - it chooses one (using some mysterious strategy) from the pool of running IE processes! Since session information (cookies) is not preserved across processes, the pop-up may loose the session (and probably redirect the user to your log-in page.)" Does anyone know how to make the new window use the same session as the original window? Or at least use a brand-new session rather than a recycled old one?

> I have no idea if Tomcat supports this -- the logging-related > configuration directives in the docs should say if it is directly > supported. I didn't see anything in the logging documentation that's indicated either way whether or not this was supported. The JVM theoretically supports it with the LogManager.readConfiguration(...) method but as I originally noted, there's a known bug in the JVM that causes new configurations to not be loaded, however there is a work-around. > Where do you do this? In your webapp or somewhere else? We already have several servlet context listeners, so in the one that initializes the web app (database, initializes static classes, etc...) we add a thread to our thread pool whose sole job is to read the logging.properties file and if it's changed within the last minute apply those changes. Originally, we constructed an InputStream from this file and passed the stream to LogManager.readConfiguration(...) but as I've mentioned (and even with the bug work-around) this only works for the first couple of log file changes. After the first few changes, it stops working entirely in that no subsequent changes to the logging.properties file is picked up short of changing the .level log level property. > If you come up with something, consider logging a bug/enhancement and > submitting a patch. Suggestions with patches are usually given higher > priority than those without patches ;) I'd love to submit a patch, only I never found out where in Tomcat (if it's even IN Tomcat) the problem is occurring. My first test was copying verbatim the code from LogManager that reads the properties from the InputStream and iterates over the logging level properties applying them to their respective loggers. It worked consistently when I copied it over, but not when I relied on LogManager to do it. Once I got it working consistently, I tweaked the code a little to maintain a mapping of logger names to log levels so I could reset log levels for loggers who had been removed from the logging.properties file during subsequent changes. --adam -Original Message- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:39 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Dynamic logging configuration updates in Tomcat -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Adam, Adam Gordon wrote: > Wow, no one had any ideas as to what is going on?

Re: Dynamic logging configuration updates in Tomcat
I've never heard of embedded Tomcat. That said, the whole deal w/ embedded systems is that the API is drastically limited so if logging isn't working, and this may sound like a dumb question but, is it possible that logging just isn't supported? Regardless, space isn't really an issue for us in that this webapp is on it's own production quality serverunless there's a totally logical reason to use an embedded Tomcat instance. --adam Carl Mosca wrote: Adam, Have you tried your code with the embedded Tomcat?

Avoiding same server to server HTTP calls to generate HTML pages via JSPs
Any one know if there exists a JSP writer engine in the Tomcat API that allows for the generation of HTML pages via JSP code but without having to make server to server HTTP calls? Right now we basically have a URL dispatcher that when a specific request comes in, we make another request to retrieve the contents of a URI (a JSP page to generate HTML) via a server-to-server HTTP call and then essentially slap that into a MimeBodyPart for sending text/html email messages. It would be nice (and make for much easier unit testing) if we could do this purely in Java land without having to make a server-to-server HTTP call behind the scenes. Any one know a way or if this functionality even exists?

Re: Tomcat 5.5.23 - Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8"
AFAIK, we had to add two things to support UTF-8 in our environment: 1. We had to add a Filter to Tomcat to set the encoding on every request to UTF-8, see this page: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8 2. Add "JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed" to our apache config file in sites-enabled. Note that this only applies if you are using Apache to redirect requests to Tomcat.

Re: Debugging tomcat with eclipse
It's actually MUCH easier than that... :-) If you use Tomcat's start and stop scripts, pass the "jpda" parameter to the script, e.g. "/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh jpda start" Then, in Eclipse, select the Debug Perspective and then click the down arrow in the little green bug icon in the toolbar and select "Open Debug Dialog." Right-click on "Remote Application Server" in the list on the left and select "New." Name it whatever you want and use the Browse button to select the project you want to debug. If tomcat is running on the same box, leave the host and port alone and click the Debug button in the lower right corner. You should see a ton of threads appear in the Debug frame in the upper left.

Session expiration and AJAX issues
A couple of issues: We've set our session expiration to 12 hours (I know it's long) and we're seeing behavior where certain browsers (namely IE) apparently can't count that high (we set the meta Refresh header but the page doesn't reload after the allotted time, session expiration time + 20 minutes). Since this issue was discovered, we've added background AJAX timers on some of our web pages that refresh (authenticated) content. While this happily works, unfortunately, if the user chooses to remain on one of these pages, and then goes on vacation, the session stays active because the AJAX calls keep the session alive. Our first attempt at a solution was to have a JavaScript counter that, after every 20 minutes, incremented a counter and if that counter ever got to 37, we knew that the user hadn't changed web pages and we could log them out (window.location = . The problem is that this doesn't appear to work either and additionally, it relies on JavaScript bypassing Tomcat's built-in features. User's cannot log in w/o having JavaScript enabled, so it's not a matter of a user potentially disabling it, rather it puts the onus on the browser to inform the server that the user's session needs to be expired. Does anyone have experience in this area and if so, how have you solved this problem? I know Google uses AJAX with their Gmail webapp, but they don't seem to care about not expiring the user's session. Any help would be appreciated.

As indicated from the tone of my original post (see the second sentence of the second paragraph in my original post), are not intentionally using AJAX to keep the session alive - it is a side-effect which we would like to obviate, hence the JavaScript counter. > Isn't that part of the browser's job? Uh, I would have to argue that this is a HUGE no. I think it's VERY obvious to anyone that has done any sort of web development with cross-browser compatibility in mind that browser makers cannot be relied upon to implement ANY sort of common standard in the same way (case and point look at how you instantiate an XmlHttpRequest object in JavaScript across different browsers, not to mention CSS functionality). Besides if it were the browser's job, why would Tomcat even have support for it? It's like making an assumption that user's never leave their browsers open or never click the back button. I think the only thing one can absolutely rely on a user doing in a web application using it in a manner to which one had not considered. So, all that said, is there anyone out there who's had experience with this problem and knows of a solution?

Re: Session expiration and AJAX issues
Martin- We are using Struts, however, version 1.2.9. But, after looking at the link, I'm not sure this will help as it doesn't really address the problem. Storing the date/time a user logs in on the session is probably useful, but our problem is that we want to forcefully log the user out if there's no human present at the computer and the AJAX tasks keep a user's session active indefinitely, whether or not they mean it to. Additionally, assuming we didn't have the AJAX tasks, we'd have to check the logged in time from the session on every request and that's just not realistic when you have hundreds of Struts actions, even with a unique parent Action class. That said, I'm beginning to suspect that this may be the only way to go, i.e., have base Action for Struts actions and base action for AJAX actions. My only issue with this is that then the onus is on the developer to use the right Action and if they don't, a session could inadvertently be left open which is a security risk. Alternatively, we could simply force the logout on the user after 12 hours period...which would kind of suck for the user if they were in the middle of something and so I can almost guarantee that our product management team wouldn't go for it since it's not really creating a positive user experience. --adam Martin Gainty wrote: Hi Adam- You can try this with Struts.. http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/simplelogin-with-session.html insert the starting-date-time intio Session variable and then in the logoutAction.execute method do some quick math on the time-delta to determine if you want to quiesce the session HTH M- - Original Message - From: "Adam Gordon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 11:04 AM Subject: Session expiration and AJAX issues A couple of issues: We've set our session expiration to 12 hours (I know it's long) and we're seeing behavior where certain browsers (namely IE) apparently can't count that high (we set the meta Refresh header but the page doesn't reload after the allotted time, session expiration time + 20 minutes).

Re: Apache/Tomcat - mod_jk issues
Lessie- Sorry to hear you're having trouble. We use Apache/Tomcat in the same way and assuming your snippets are reasonably complete I've noticed some issues that may or may not be helping to cause problems: 1. First and foremost, your worker list defines the worker name as "tomcat" yet in your J/K mount in your VirtualHost you say "ajp13" as the worker name. I.e., "JkMount /*.jsp ajp13" should be "JkMount /*.jsp tomcat". 2. While I've not used the redirectPort attribute on the Connector element, I'm assuming you are redirecting everything to HTTPS. If this is the case, I'm curious as to why you don't define either SSLCertificateFile or SSLCertificateKeyFile in your VirtualHost. We have to to ensure the right certificate is served up with the right IP since we don't have a site domain certificate. 3. I don't see them but I'm also assuming that each of your webapps have their own Context defined in the META-INF directory. That's all I noticed after a quick glance, but the biggie is #1.

Re: Connection Pooling
Hi, I think you may be confusing the number of allowable processes with the number of allowable threads. Per Tomcat's documentation, maxActive refers to the maximum number of DB connections whereas the Oracle error you are seeing refers to the maximum number of processes (threads?) which are not necessarily connections. It's been too many years since I've worked with Oracle, let alone 9i, so I can't point you where to look in your config files, but I suspect that's where the problem may be. As an aside, the solution is probably not to just up the number of processes but to determine why Oracle is generating so many (if 150 is indeed considered "many."). Hope this helps. --adam abhishek reddy wrote: Here are the pool configuration details in context.xml file. software: database : oracle 9i server: tomcat 5.5 iam getting the following error: java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (150) exceeded.

Re: Apache/Tomcat - mod_jk issues
No worries, happens to the best of us. I don't "think" tomcat is a reserved worker name - that said, I've seen stranger things... Anyway, regarding your host question, it depends. "localhost" should work fine out of the box if your apache/tomcat are running on the same server (assuming your hosts file is setup correctly, which it should be for localhost). We're running it all on apache load balancers and they hand off the JK mounts to the Tomcat server computers as appropriate. For the host parameter to work correctly I think all you'll need to ensure is that either the host value is mapped correctly in the hosts file or in DNS - we use DNS. Next up, what exactly happens when you try to go to a Tomcat URL? Do you get a 404? Regardless of whether you do or not, do you get any type of error? Is the error an Apache error or Tomcat error? If you haven't change the defaults of Apache or Tomcat, an Apache error will generally tell you the apache version in black text whereas the Tomcat error page usually has green or grey colored bars across it and will not display anything about Apache. If you get an Apache error, it's definitely not going to Tomcat-land and if it gets to Tomcat-land, then your Apache configuration is probably correct. I would next suggest turning up your JK logging and monitor your request logging to make sure 1) your requests are coming through and look as you expect them (in your apache access log), and then 2) look at your mod_jk log to see what's going on. Another thing to make sure is that Tomcat is listening on port 8009. Not sure what platform you're on, but a "netstat -a" will tell you which ports are active - you should see 8009. And on that note, make sure your ports.conf file has you listening on both port 80 and 443. --adam Lessie Z. Mitch wrote: Thank you Adam! 1- eepers! Okay, that was overlooked!

We use Apache/Tomcat in the same way and assuming your snippets are reasonably complete I've noticed some issues that may or may not be helping to cause problems: 1. First and foremost, your worker list defines the worker name as "tomcat" yet in your J/K mount in your VirtualHost you say "ajp13" as the worker name. I.e., "JkMount /*.jsp ajp13" should be "JkMount /*.jsp tomcat". 2. While I've not used the redirectPort attribute on the Connector element, I'm assuming you are redirecting everything to HTTPS. If this is the case, I'm curious as to why you don't define either SSLCertificateFile or SSLCertificateKeyFile in your VirtualHost.

Re: Apache/Tomcat - mod_jk issues
Chris- That makes sense, because the SSL is between the web server and the browser, and not a connector between two web servers - I've just never used it so at first glance it looks like it redirects incoming traffic to port 8443, which is Tomcat's default SSL port...

Re: encoding - web.xml,struts struts-config.xml
Just a stab in the dark here since I don't know where Polish alphabet characters lie in the code charts, but you will probably want to use UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859. We've had plenty of issues with users cutting and pasting text from RTF applications (e.g. MS Word) into our web app's text areas only to see some of the characters not be encoded correctly. If you go this route, it's a multi-step process: you need to set the form encoding on your HTML forms (acceptCharset="UTF-8" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"), you will need to set the character encoding in your JSP pages (pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>), and most importantly, you need a filter that sets the character encoding on each request (http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8) *BEFORE* you attempt to read any parameters. I don't know what the requirements of your web app will be regarding text input, but I've discovered that you must always assume that the user will do something you didn't expect. I've mucked around with this a bunch in resolving a ton of problems, so if you need any pointers, feel free to ask away. --adam Raghuveer wrote: I am working on i18n application that needs to be worked in English and Polish language.

Re: Logging individual web applications
Neha- First, I assume you meant to say the WEB-INF/classes directory as that's where the log4j.properties file needs to be placed for a given web app. Second, you probably don't want to set the rootLogger to DEBUG as any libraries you use could potentially be affected by this and if you've ever used Apache libraries before, their verbose logging is VERY verbose... a better way is to set it to INFO, and then define any package specific loggers ala: log4j.rootLogger=INFO, cc1 # lock down apache logging to only INFO or higher log4j.logger.org.apache=INFO # lock down quartz logging to only INFO or higher log4j.logger.org.quartz=INFO # webapp specific loggers log4j.logger.com.foo.bar=TRACE Thirdly, I don't see the threshold set anywhere (and I don't know what the default is), ala: log4j.threshold=ALL This level basically dictates the lowest level of logging that is to be permitted by ALL loggers so it should be set to the finest level possible. If none of this helps, pull the log4j.properties file out of your webapp and just write a test java class that uses it and prints out a logging statement at each level. This way you don't have to restart your webapp every time you tweak your properties file to get it working. Use a log4j provided Appender so you don't have to muck with your custom one. If it works right away, w/ no other modifications to the appender definition, then the problem lies within your custom appender.

RE: Does mod_jk support chunked encoding?
Really? I mean, we already have mod_jk setup and all, it's just that we zip the files up server side and when that's all finished, we send the file on down via the response's output stream. I tried modifying our servlet last night to construct the ZipOutputStream from the response's output stream and it worked, only the file we tested it on was only around 600K and I don't know what the threshold is to trigger chunked encoding. Unfortunately, everything is over HTTPS which means I can't use WireShark to look at the HTTP headers to make sure it's actually using chunked encoding and when I removed the rewrite rule that forced everything over HTTPS, i.e. do the download over HTTP, the download actually stopped working... I'll just write a new servlet this morning that's (mostly) independent of our web app and try again over HTTP with a much larger file. If it works, fantastic!

Tomcat admin webapp configuration with mod_jk
We currently use Apache/Tomcat and mod_jk for our webapp. I've downloaded and installed (correctly, I think) the admin web app but am having trouble configuring Apache and Tomcat to recognize that the admin webapp is present. I suspect it's simply a config issue, but can't figure it out. Here's our original server.xml: I've tried adding another connector (on port 8080) and also adding another based on the admin.xml file but nothing seems to be working correctly. I have workers.properties configured to redirect to Tomcat and that's working b/c I'm getting a Tomcat 404 error and not an Apache one.

Re: Tomcat admin webapp configuration with mod_jk
I just figured it out when verifying my installation per your request of my installation steps.

Our Engine name is Standalone and host name is localhost - so I moved the admin.xml from the default of conf/Catalina/localhost to conf/Standalone/localhost and voila! it worked. So, now I have a problem whereby I can't log in and Tomcat is complaining that I don't have a LoginModule configured for Standalone.
