Tomcat 5.5 with java 1.4.2...

2007-03-07 Thread JT Neville
I've googled and read the release notes included with the 1.4.2 tomcat 
download.  It references the running.txt doc for more info on doing 
this.  I can't find thiat document or reference in the TC doc's or by 
googling the issue/searching the tomcat forum.

Does anyone have a pointer to what the exact steps are that need to be 
completed to run TC 5.5 with JDK 1.4.2?

Related, is there a doc or FAQ that talks about issues/limitations 
running in this mode?  It's not something I want to do but have to do 
because of 3rd party software constraints.

Thanks that helped a lot.  Please don't shoot the messenger as someone 
else chose the server OS, but I notice the Windows Service Installer 
download contains everything but the running.txt file.  I've downloaded 
just the zip file and grabbed running.txt now.  Thanks again Markus.

 RUNNING.txt should be in the directory where you unpacked Tomcat 5.5.

Can't really say without seeing your code but 90% of the time when I get
this error it is because I've made a type-o in my code and two variables are
not aligning, or I've not terminated a line of code correctly.  hth

Hi!

I have *.jsp page with a form. It sets several
properties of a bean, that then connects to Oracle DB
and inserts data into table. When i click Submit, i
have the following error:

HTTP Status 500 -

RE: ContextManager in Tomcat 5.5?

2005-12-15 Thread JT Neville
In summary:

1) Edit the isapi_reg file (part of Tomcat or make your own) to and replace
$tomcat_home with the local path (ie.
d:\test\t4\webapps\tomCat_webApp_subfolder...)
2) Run that reg file.
3) Create a virtual folder in your root website named
tomCat_webApp_subfolder, point it to the tomcat webapp subfolder. Default
security.
4) Create a virtual folder named jakarta and point it to the bin directory
with the isapi_redirect dll file in it. Give this item execute rights.
5) For 2003 only, add a web service called 'jakarta', set it to allow and
point it to the isapi dll above.
6) For 2003 only, add the mime types (.class, .properties, .tmp) to the
virtual or web folder.
7) Restart the IIS admin service.

As a side note (resolved last week here) for additional servlets under IIS:

These are two files located in (or somewhere else if you changed the
isapi_redirect reg file)

\$TomcatRoot$\WEB-INF\config\jk\iis\

uriworkermap.properties
workers.properties

In the uriworkermap.properties file you add your custom servlets.

In example (/virtualRoot/pathToServlet/servletName/=workerThread):

/webapp_subfolder/servlets/yourCustomServlet=$(default.worker)

or (for a more generic approach)

/webapp_subfolder/servlets/*=main

If you were hosting multiple virtual containers all using the same servlets
or working in the root containers you would create and edit these two files
in the $tomcatHome$\conf\ folder.

This is above and beyond installing the servlet itself in Tomcat, copying
any files over and editing the web.xml file.

Subject: ContextManager in Tomcat 5.5?


I'm trying to figure out ways of running Tomcat behind IIS, and area
where documentation is very lacking :/

I found the IISConfig directive here at:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/jk/conf
ig/IISConfig.html

it says:

Generates automatic IIS isapi_redirect configurations based on the
Tomcat server.xml settings and the war contexts initialized during
startup.

This config interceptor is enabled by inserting an IISConfig element
in the ContextManager tag body inside the server.xml file like so:

  ContextManager ... 
   ...
   IISConfig options /
   ...
  /ContextManager 


..but I have no ContextManager tag in my server.xml and searching the
list and tomcat docs hasn't pointed to what happened to it.  Where do
I need to place the IISConfig tag?

Thanks,
Mike

RE: setup for web designers?

2005-12-13 Thread JT Neville
 Offering performance advice based on a 3-year old Tomcat is highly
 inappropriate.  The 5.5.12 version delivers static content at essentially
 the same speed as Apache httpd.  Suggested reading (note that this is  
 about 5.5.4, and 5.5.12 is yet faster

Not everyone can stay on the bleeding edge or even a major rev off it.  When
it takes thousands of hours to migrate and regression test applications that
work just fine as they are, the ROI just doesn't add up.

While it would be nice to have unlimited budgets for hardware upgrades,
developers and testers, much of the business world doesn't; so advice on
Tomcat 3, 4 and 5.x are all valid and appropriate for this list.

Just give whatever account the service is executing on run as a service
rights as well as specifying the local machine on the share with the correct

Are you running Tomcat as a service?  If so, it won't be able to access
network drives, since those are associated specifically with your
Windows account.  Don't know if there's a way to do a permanent mount
for all users, including whatever account Tomcat is running under.  You
might be able to do it with a UNC name rather than a drive letter, but I
haven't tried it.

You need to go to advanced or custom most likely on the security tab not the
file share tab depending on the OS you are running.

 Hi!
Yes, it´s running as a service and it´s logging on as Local System account.
But I'm not sure how/where to give this account rights? I'm also not sure
how to specify the local machine on the share, on the LaCie disc I'm only
able to define 'generic' users, no machine specific stuff (like Admin/x
as id/pwd). 

Thanks

Servelts under IIS or Apache integration

2005-12-08 Thread JT Neville
Hello, checked FAQ's, Googled, trial/errored and still unclear how to
resolve this.

 

I have a servlett that works in Tomcat over 8080 (in standalone mode) [it's
a form that passes information in XML format to a file], but when I
integrated Tomcat into IIS6, the servlett no longer responds when surfing
the jsp site over http.  I would like to stop any 8080 traffic and just
punch a single port 80 in my firewall.  Is there a way to do this?  I've
read the chapter in my WROX book on servletts but they don't really address
how my issue.  Thanks,

 

JT



re: Servelts under IIS or Apache integration

2005-12-08 Thread JT Neville
Anyone clarify this for me?

 

Using IIS and Tomcat, I created this file:

 

uiworkermap.properties

 

with this text in it (as suggested by Reynir -
http://www.reynir.net/java/greinar/nr/52)

 

/*jsp=main
/servlet/*=main

 

I expect the above is for the root folder only?  Can anyone confirm?

 

Now my custom servlet is set to run in another virtual root, for example
webx

 

http://www.foo.org/webx/servlets/SurveyXMLServlet?etc

 

So would I need to add some lines like below to get my servlet to go?

 

/webx/SurveyXMLServlet/*=main

 

or maybe?

 

/SurveyXMLServlet/*=main

 

or even?

 

SurveyXMLServlet/*=webx

 

Any insight would be appreciated.  I'm not exactly clear on what the rules
are for these paths.

 

This email supercedes my first request. =)
