Re: Handling Tomcat crash

2010-10-18 Thread Michael Knümann


In case of out of memory issues you can search for JVM options like 
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
and others. There is also an option for shell scripts to be executed in 
case of out of memory.

Subject: Handling Tomcat crash

In the event the tomcat crashes I would like to restart tomcat automatically
or better be alerted of the status that it is crashed. I'm running Tomcat on
Windows server.

Which version of Tomcat? JVM? Windows?


Is there any script which may restart tomcat or any opensource tool which
will send me an alert that it is crashed.

Well there's lots of monitoring tools around.  GIYF.


The easiest thing would be to use the tools provided by the OS. Go

into services and configure the recovery options as you desire. Restart
the service is an option.

But why is tomcat crashing?


+1  This is a more important question.

What is the lifecycle of the apache tribes channel?

2010-10-18 Thread Michael Knümann


 Hi,

I'm using apache tribes for messaging between nodes within a cluster. My 
implementation bases on the quickstart example that is part of the 
related documentation.
At the moment there is Context Listener that starts the communication 
during the deployment of the webapp like this:
  public void start(ChannelListener msgListener, MembershipListener 
mbrListener) throws ChannelException

  {
myChannel = new GroupChannel();

this.msgListener = msgListener;
this.mbrListener = mbrListener;

//attach the listeners to the channel
myChannel.addMembershipListener(mbrListener);
myChannel.addChannelListener(msgListener);

//start the channel
myChannel.start(Channel.DEFAULT);

  }

and in case the application is stopped the communication channel is 
stopped like this:


  public void stop() throws ChannelException
  {

myChannel.removeChannelListener(msgListener);
myChannel.removeMembershipListener(mbrListener);
myChannel.stop(Channel.DEFAULT);
  }

The sending of messages is implemented this way:

 public void sendMessage(ClusterCacheMessage message ) throws 
ChannelException, ClusterMessageCtrlException

  {
assertStartedProperly();
//create a message to be sent, message must implement 
java.io.Serializable
//for performance reasons you probably want them to implement 
java.io.Externalizable

//Serializable myMsg = new MyMessage();

//retrieve my current members
Member[] group = myChannel.getMembers();

logger.fine("Send message:" + message.getCacheName());
//send the message
myChannel.send(group,message,Channel.SEND_OPTIONS_DEFAULT);

  }


My question is do I need the channel started the whole time, or I can 
open it every time I send a message?




with kind regards
Michael

This is a singleton instance and is used for sending messages the whole 
lifecycle of my webapplication.
I don't like this singleton and I'm wondering if it is possible to start 
the channel everytime I need to send a message?

Re: Starting/Stopping Tomcat from Java program

2010-10-11 Thread Michael Knümann

 Hi,

perhaps this has the solution out of the box:

http://cargo.codehaus.org/

Hi.

I do not really understand the issue here.
If you are under Windows, with Tomcat running as a Service, then you 
can just run the commands "net start tomcat6" / "net stop tomcat6" to 
start/stop tomcat.
If you are under Linux, then you can just issue the command 
"/etc/init.d/tomcat6 (start|stop)".

Under most Unixes, the procedure is similar.
So where is the problem ?


Rob Gregory wrote:

I call the scripts via code to both stop and start Tomcat. There is a
problem with even calling these scripts via Unix unless you change (cd)
into the bin directory before running startup.sh as the log paths are
generated relative to the startup.sh location.


String strCatalinaBin = System.getenv("CATALINA_HOME") +
"\\bin\\";
File objDir = new File(strCatalinaBin);
r = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = r.exec(new String[] { "cmd.exe", "/C", "start",
strCatalinaBin + "catalina.bat", "start" }, null, objDir);

p.waitFor();
p.destroy();

Hope this helps.
Rob

Subject: Starting/Stopping Tomcat from Java program


Hi,
I've to write methods on calling which i'd be able to start and stop

the

tomcat app server. I tried this -

I'm using Tomcat 6.0.26.
String[] command = new String[4];

command[0] = "cmd";
command[1] = "/C";
command[2] = "startup.bat";
command[3] = "C:\\";
String x[] = {"PATH=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software

Foundation\\Apache

Tomcat 6.0.26\\bin","CATALINA_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software
Foundation\\Apache Tomcat 6.0.26","JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program
Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_21","JRE_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6"};

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command,x);

This gives me a strange windows error saying - The system cannot

find the

file -Djava.util.logging.config.file="C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.26\conf\logging.properties", while it

actually

exists.

If instead of setting the path, I give the absolute path of

startup.bat in

command[3], it works fine -

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start

C:\\broadway\\bat\\startup.bat"); //I copied the startup.bat to a

folder and

ran it from there, it worked fine.

Please give me pointers to the right direction!

Is it possible to have shared JDBC resources in Tomcat 6.0 cluster?

2010-09-10 Thread Michael Knümann

 Hi

I'm currently working on migrating single server web application for 
deployment in a cluster.


We have JDBC connection pools to talk with several databases. I'm going 
to divide the max db connection attribute for each by the number of 
nodes then.


But I'm wondering if it is possible to have a cluster wide connection pool.

with kind regards
Michael Knümann
