Adding user-agent and possibly refer to log4j Tomcat 5.5

[Scott Purcell]

Thanks Jon,

After reviewing your response ... I believe this fix is for a Apache
server? I am running Standalone Tomcat.  It appears I need to somehow
log the user-agent and possibly referrer to my default access log. Is
this correct?

If this is the case, does anyone know how to do this with Tomcat log4j?

Here is my current properties file for logging:


log4j.rootCategory=INFO, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=C:/Tomcat5.5/logs/unique.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=1500KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d - %5p (%C:%L) - %m%n
log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhos
t][/unique]=INFO, R

Looks like you are running the default access log settings.
For logging of user-agent and referer (when given) try:

CustomLog logs/access_log combined

Yes Jon the unique.log is where all my logging is occurring. I will
follow your link, and try and figure this out.

Thanks,

Is the unique.log where your site hits are being logged?
I'm running tc5.0.x. For that version you would change the pattern 
attribute for the Valve doing the logging in server.xml (or context.xml 
depending on config).

Just looked. It's the same in 5.5

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html
The last paragraph of the Access Log valve section mentions the 
"combined" pattern.

- Google can't read the links because they're embedded in a nice pretty
dynamic Javascript-y menu system;

- You're returning an odd encoding and the spider can't extract the
information (happened to me with MSN, not Google);

- Probably a bazillion other things.

OK.

I'd be able to make better guesses if I could see the site - apologies
if I've missed a URL that you've already handed out.

One interesting thing is that the line:

Probably not a big deal.

How long has the site been up?

Access Log Question

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

When configuring my Tomcat 5.5, I have added a "context" element to my
server.xml for a certain site. Within that tag, I added logging for an
access log.

 

The access log rolls each day and shows the IP from user and the page,
image, link he is accessing along with a http status code.

So it appears this all works well.

 

I would like to add the "user-agent" tag to this access log.

 

Does anyone have an example of how this is done, or a link of how to
accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

Site Configuration on 5.5.15

[Scott Purcell]

I am running Tomcat 5.5.15 on a PC running Windows XP. I have been
battling this problem for 6 months, and could use some help.

 

I purchased a URL for my web site. I created the site in a folder under
the root document called "unique". As I was building the site, I would
hit the site like so:  http://localhost/unique/index.jsp. I finished the
site up 6 months or so ago, and purchased my DNS name. 

 

Here is where the problem has been culminating from. I added my dns
entry into the server.xml and found that by hitting the url that the
site would point into the root folder. So within the root folder I
created a jsp page that did a redirect to the /unique/index.jsp page.
This seems to work, and people can hit my site.

 

But for some strange issue, google has not been able to index the site,
and when I ran "Site Magellan" on the site last night it only sees the
first page. It never sees any links. Googlebots never see any links, and
not site Magellan sees no links. When I run Lynx on the site, can
navigate just fine. But eveidently something is screwed up in regards to
my tomcat configuration, or something.

 

The url is

If anyone knows where I may of screwed up or has ideas, please let me
know, as I am about at the end of my rope on this one. I know I could
move the site into the root folder, but what if I add another DNS
tomorrow for another site, then I would run into the same issue right? 

 

Thanks, much

Tomcat: The Definitive Guide Question

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

I am running Tomcat 5.5 and figured its about time to grab a book so I
can understand the product better. The one that received good reviews
appears to be the OReilly Definitive Guide. But it covers 4.0 Tomcat.

 

Is there a 5.0 Oreilly book coming out? Or does this current book
covering 4.0 work good enough with 5.0?

 

 

Thanks,

Site Configuration on 5.5.15 Pt 2

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

Last Friday, I posted the below thread, and followed Chris' directions
to create the virtual host. All appears good, and works great.

I only ran into one last problem, and was hoping someone may know the
solution. When google indexes my site, and I enter [The Unique Pear]
into the search bar, it brings back my site, actually on page 1 near the
top. This is great news. I only have one problem with this. When you
hover the link or click the link, it takes the user to
[http://theuniquepear.com] and not the [http://www.theuniquepear.com]
site.

I have a ssl certificate that points to www.sitename. So the site
certificate is screwed up.

So my question is, how does google get the www? Or is this something I
need to handle? And if so, does this have anything to do with the Alias
I created (below)?

Thanks for any input
Scott

No you won't run into any issues.  You can do Virtual Host Based
direction
of your sites.  The localhost can be setup for your admin console and
such
and you can create www.theuniquepear.com to point to a different root.
In
server.xml another  entry like so. The application base can be
whatever you want.  Deploy to that directory and you won't need the
index.jsp to redirect.  Also keep in mind that if you use an index.jsp
it
needs to do a forward to the servlet or jsp that you are displaying and
not
a redirect.  I had the same problem with google and the other search
engines.

URL with WWW problem

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

Tomcat 5.5 standalone.

 

Yesterday I had a thread stating that sometimes users, and google may
refer to my site something like http://mysite.com 
omitting the www portion of the URL.  As I stated yesterday, my site
needs the www.mysite.com   because of a
certificate I am using.

 

The site was built using the struts framework, so I asked some users on
that list about the problem. And they said that this should be
configurable within the container, or within Tomcat.

 

So my question to this list, is there a way to have Tomcat accept the
http://mysite.com   and then call for
http://www.mysite.com   through some type of
configuration setting?

 

I know someone yesterday mentioned filters, but I could not find any
examples of this type via a heavy google search. I know some simple
solutions would be to use redirects, etc. but doing so will screw up my
indexing via bots. I woiuld like to handle this situation cleanly and
not mess with code to do so?

 

 

Thanks,

Scott

I am receiving errors when configuring a JNDI resource for my database
using Tomcat 5.5 on a Windoz box. I used the admin interface and entered
the following data:

in admin screen

under  Data Sources

JNDI Name= jdbc/BuilderDB

Driver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Data Source URL=jdbc:mysql://localhost/builder

JDBC Driver Class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

 

Then I made sure my driver was in

common/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.1.12

 

 

Then went to the web.xml file added my resource

web.xml

  
  DB Connection
  jdbc/BuilderDB
  javax.sql.DataSource
  Container
  

 

 

After committing the change in the admin module, it updated the
server.xml and added this the 

  
  
  
  
  



  
  





  
  
  

  


 

 

RE: Tomcat 5.5 JNDI Question Using Admin

[Scott Purcell]

I do not see one in either location. So I guess the admin just does the
update to the server.xml and then we need to handle the rest of the
configuration?

You need a ResourceLink in the Host or Context, to make the global
resource available.

Does the Context xml file contain this?

log4J confusion, need clarification

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

I am creating a new application, and I would like to be able to add
logging statements to my code that will run within the Tomcat container.
This log, would be just for my web application code. Then I would like
to also be able to have a log of this context. In that log I would like
to see things like 'webapp restarted', etc. 

 

So basically 2 separate log files. I believe one can put a
log4j.properties under classes for the application. But how do I get the
log for the "context" that it is running in, and just direct the context
logging information to that one?

 

Any links, assistance?

 

Thanks,

 

Tomcat 5.5 Context? Configuration

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

Over the holiday, I created a war file for a small application and
deployed it to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps

 

Inside the war file was a index.jsp page. So when I called the
application for the first time from a browser I did like so.

 

http://localhost:8080/webappname/index.jsp -> and it showed the page and
all was happy until I clicked a link. After clicking on a link, I
noticed that the site had a 404, and the url looked like this:

 

http://localhost:8080/welcome.jsp -> it was missing the context. 

 

So my question ... after deploying a war file to the server, is there
additional configuration that needs to be accomplished? Do we still put
an entry into the server.xml, or in the META-INF directory of the local
application? This has confused me, and when I read about
 I have trouble understanding what is occurring.

 

PS, I tried searching the archives, but the marc-aims group web site
appears to be having issues.

 

 

Thanks,

Scott

Re: confusion of tomcat downloading

What OS are you wanting to install Tomcat on?
And did you want to just run Tomcat Standalone, or put it inside Apache?

SSL Certificate Beginner Question

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

I am running Tomcat Standalone on a XP system. Anyway, I have finished up with 
Verisign, and I my certificate installed and ready to go  but now the real 
quesiton.

How do I configure some of my pages to use https? I do not know where to begin 
on this? Anyone able to assist?

Thanks

Re: SSL Certificate Beginner Question

[Scott Purcell]

Real helpful ... I searched on SRV.12 and it brought up a bunch of links
that have nothing to do with Tomcat  config of SSL.

I probably posted a lame request. Let me try again.

I have purchased a certificate via Verisign, and I have installed the
certificate into a keystore. I am running Windows XP and Tomcat 5.5.12.
I put the keystore and Cert.cer in the Tomcat/bin directory for organiation.
I read that the default is usually in the home directory where tomcat is
installed on Unix. But that is another OS.

I followed the docs here under Tomcat 5 SSL and ran across this:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html


The final step is to configure your secure socket in the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file, where $CATALINA_HOME represents the
directory into which you installed Tomcat 5. An example  element
for an SSL connector is included in the default server.xml file installed
with Tomcat. It will look something like this:


 <-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->






Anyway I uncommented this snippet from my Tomcat server.xml file and
restarted. But I cannot hit https://localhost:8443 like the read-me states.

I have checked all $TOMCAT_HOME/logs and see nothing. It just hangs when
trying to call it. I can hit http://localhost and all is happy. But the
certificate states it is coming from a certain URL. So I am not sure how
that all works.


I hope this may help someone feed me back some relevant information.

Scott

Get More Logging

[Scott Purcell]

I posted earlier about having some issues trying to get SSL configured on my 
Tomcat 5.5.12. Anyway, I changed some settings in my server.xml for my 
keystore, and see no errors being thrown under the logs/ directory. I checked 
stdout, stderr, but see no errors. 

I know that if I am using the wrong keystore location (I intentionally put in a 
wrong path) that I should see something. But I do not. How can I get more or 
better logging so I can find errors in order to trace down my problems witht he 
SSL configuration?


Thanks

Re: SSL Certificate Beginner Question

[Scott Purcell]

Yes Thanks David,

I did add the "keystoreFile=XXX" and "keystorePass="xxx". But it still
hangs. Since I was on Windows I used a full path to the file.  I forgot
about the https://localhost:8443? Just
curious. I know when I asked for the cert, Verisign asked me for my dns
name, so maybe the simple localhost will not work and only the dns entry
will work. ...

Thanks much for your time.

Scott

Re: SSL Certificate Beginner Question

Thanks for the link ...
I think first I need to be able to hit the https://localhost:8443 before
going any further?  Once that is working ... then hopefully I can figure out
how to restrict certain pages.

SSL Port Question Config

[Scott Purcell]

I am trying to configure my Tomcat 5.5.12 running on XP to use SSL. I have 
received my certificate from 'Verisign' and put it into my keystore like the 
docs state.

After that I followed the Tomcat docs, and uncommented out this bit from the 
conf/server.xml



and added my keystoreFile and keystorePass  as attributes in the above.

I then added a https://localhost:8443

Could anyone clarify what port SSL should be using, and why the 8443 vs 443 
(which looks standard)?


Also, if I am missing any steps, please let me know.

Regards
Scott

Need More Error Logs .. How to

[Scott Purcell]

I am trying to get SSL running on Tomcat 5.5.12 on XP. As I am playing around, 
trying different server.xml changes, I am trying to find some type of log to 
help assist me in what is not working. Anyway, it is a new Tomcat install, and 
under $TOMCAT_HOME/logs I see stderr, stdout and some localhost file. Problem 
is, I am not seeing any errors when trying to use the "https" protocol. A lot 
of threads describe errors from Tomcat with bad Keystores, or Passwords, but I 
am not seeing any "system" type errors.

Is there a way to turn-up Tomcats internal logging so I can see these types of 
logs, so I can try and get my ssl problem resolved? PS I have been tailing each 
of the log files available uneder logs, and there are no indicators of my 
problem.

Scott

RE: SSL Certificate Beginner Question

I did not include a security constraint.
Is this needed for SSL? I spend some time looking at this element, and I was 
under the impression that it was for form authentication?

Did you include a security contraint element in your web.xml file? Something

  HTTPS for all of these pages of the

  /secure/*

mailing list question

[Scott Purcell]

Is there a searchable Tomcat mailing list? I posted a question a while back and 
was hoping to re-read it?  I found many sites, but none look like the real 
Tomcat mailing list.

The latest google search brought me here
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/200511.mbox/date
and that pretty much is not in date order and I do not even see anything from 
the past 2 weeks?

I went to the FAQs and have been searching with no luck.

Thanks

admin tool?

[Scott Purcell]

I am using Tomcat 5.5.12 on XP. I am having a bad time trying to get SSL up and 
working. Anyway, after days of searching, I have found some threads where 
people are using the "admin" tool or something like this, to install the 
certificates, etc. Problems with this install start off at no logs generating 
to show errors, etc.

Is this a valid module, I see if on the Apache Downloads page. And if so it 
appears that most threads are from people who cannot get it installed. So does 
it work, and is it installed easily, or should one just buy a commercial server 
and bypass this kind of problems?

SSL Information 5.5.12

[Scott Purcell]

First off, thank you Wendy for the link for searching the archives
http://www.nabble.com/SSL-Setup-t536274.html#a1446749

After two days of posting that I was having issues with SSL on Tomcat 5.5.12 
and that I would get no log files, etc, I searched up and down the archives, 
and found the problem. See link above.

Evidently the tcnative-1.dll had issues. When I renamed the tcnative-1.dll, all 
of a sudden, I begin receiving tons of logs in regards to my SSL set up.

So for those hacking with SSL on Tomcat 5.5.12, you may want to note this.

Sincerely
Scott

SSL InvalidKeystore Format?

[Scott Purcell]

Well, after wasting much time trying to get the SSL running on 5.5.12, on XP, 
and finding out about the bad tcnative-1.dll, I thought I was out of the woods 
on my SSL configuration. But it appears I have one last issue (hopefully)
Since I renamed the tcnative-1.dll, I am getting logs in regards to my SSL (I 
was not getting those prior, see earlier posts) and I am receiving this error: 
I believe I have a good keystore, because my public key from Verisign was happy 
with it, but for some reason, Tomcat is stikll not happy with it.
Any ideas why this error may occur?

Hi Scott,

  I am not tomcat expert as well as I can not help you about the error you are 
getting. 
  After Remy's last message on SSL with APR, I finally got my windows xp + 
tomcat 5.5.12 + APR +
SSL working. Following are the steps that I have followed:

(1) Install Tomcat 5.5.12 and make sure it is working.
(2) Download APR component (openssl.exe and tcnative-1.dll) and put it in 
%TOMCAT_HOME%\bin.
(http://tomcat.heanet.ie/native/1.1.0/binaries/win32/)
(3) I generated server.key and server.cert following guide at
http://www.fatofthelan.com/articles/articles.php?pid=12 .I have put them in 
%TOMCAT_HOME%\bin
only.
(Make sure you follow the guide. I had trouble setting openssl.exe on windows 
xp. The answer is on
that page only. You have to download openssl.cnf from google and place it in 
some folder and make
a new environment OPENSSL_CONF pointing to that file. Trust me that link is 
very good.)
(4) Change the server.xml in following way:

(5) Restart the tomcat and SSL is enabled.

   I dont know if you have did the same way and you have issues. If you want to 
try, you can
follow the above steps on some other windows xp machine. It worked for me so it 
should work for
you. If you start from scratch, it may take about 30-40 mins to setup above 
things.

   Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
D

Re: SSL InvalidKeystore Format?

[Scott Purcell]

Hard to believe ... but Dhaval the below steps actually worked, and my site
appears to have SSL. Thank you so much. But of course this draws me to
another question.

I had just purchased a "Verisign" certificate and do not know how to handle
this? Can I just call the Verisign certificate when doing this:
openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days
365 and using the one verisign gave me here?

Also, is this a good certificate? Do I need the Verisign one?

As you may be able to tell, I am very confused and could use a little
explanation if possible.

Thanks much
Scott

Re: SSL InvalidKeystore Format?

[Scott Purcell]

almost
standard now that you use signed certificate from Verisign or Thawte. For
example, if you do any online shopping from amazon or any store, you will
visit the SSL page and they dont display any warning or anything.

  So the choice is in your hand. There is no harm involved in any of the
above method.

  Again all of above explanation is based upon my reading. I would like
users to comment about it so that I also can update myself and you have
correct and better answer.

  Hope it helps you understanding SSL a bit further.

D

Re: SSL InvalidKeystore Format?

[Scott Purcell]

Do you think Verisign should be able to supply me with a openSSL
certificate? Maybe that would help. I just don't know enough about this to
make any logical sense. I will email Verisign and see what they say.

Thanks,
Scott

PS, did you have Nates earlier email you described below? If so could you
email me it?

Thanks

Could you clarify? I am unsure what you mean.

I am really stuck on this, and could use a hand.

Fw: Verisign Certificate Still Giving Me Troubles:

[Scott Purcell]

Thanks Bill for the info.

Verisign gave me a cert.cer file. So I am not sure how to handle this. My
connector currently is this:

   
  // here is what I am working with that is currently commented out
// I was able to add the cert to the keystore using  this:

keytool -import -alias  -keystore
 -trustcacerts -file 



// but this is the one that is working using openSSL and the certificate
made from the below link:


I am getting messed up because I am not sure what is the private key and
what is the public key as I am reading.
Verisign made me create a "keystore", then a "csr" file which I posted to
them, and then I received a "cert.cer" file back.
Originally I tried just doing this:


But it hung and never responded. That is when I tried doing the example from
the openssl notes.

?Thanks
Scott

Many Thanks SSL

[Scott Purcell]

I truly do not know what to say about all the information given to me these 
past couple of days in regards to my SSL problem. I cannot say enough to the 
people who have pitched in and helped me throughout the weekend. 

I feel I will be able to get this up and running today or tonight when I get 
home, and have learned so much.

I want to thank each of you for your help and support. It means so much.

Sincerely
Many, many thanks,

Scott

Configuration Question

[Scott Purcell]

I am running Tomcat 5.5x on a Win2000 box.

I purchased a DNS name, and I have that configurated in the server.xml. So when 
a user hits my site like so: http://www.xxx.com it calls the site and all is 
good. But here is my problem. On some search engines for whatever reason, the 
url shows this: http://xxx.com leaving out the www. It still brings open the 
site, but there is a problem. My site runs all https, and when I registered my 
ssl certificate, it is under the http://www.xxx.com. And when the user hits the 
site without the 'www' it brings up a invalid certificate. It shows the lock, 
but it says it is not certified by verisign.

Any ideas why this is occuring, and any ideas to redirect the bad url to the 
good one?

Many thanks,

How does Tomcat log by default?

[Scott Purcell]

I am playing around with a Hibernate project, and created a war file. I have a 
clean 5.5 Tomcat running on XP. The project I created is not using log4j. It 
has a bunch of System.out.println statements, and the tutorial says to look at 
the Tomcat log to see how this hibernate project connects, etc.

By default my new Tomcat has a logs directory, but inside it there are stderr, 
stdout, tomcat.log and jakarta_service logs. I would assume that the system out 
should go to stdout.log, but there are no logs there.

How is a new Tomcat configured, where would default System.out.printlns go?

reload when class file is updated

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

I am working on a webapp that was originally a war file. The war
extracted to abc context.

 

Some background:

The war file when deflated (automatically) created a
/abct/META-INF/context.xml  and inside had the abc context information.
I added reloadable=true like so there inside the META-INF directory.



 

Also, it put a context here:

$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/abc.xml

And inside I added the reloadable="true" here it is:



 

Now also, I am using JNDI, so I added my JNDI

1) I have a real web site that needs to be shown to the world. I have purchased 
a DNS entry and created the site.
I am running on port 80. 
After installing a clean tomcat, I put the folder under webapps. The folder 
is the webapp.
I am running a certificate under Catalina in server.xml for this site.
In server.xml I only changed 8080 to 80. And left the host as "localhost"
   Now if someone types in the proper http://www.mysite.com all is good.
   PROBLEM: when friends and family type in http://mysite.com (forgetting) the 
www, they get to my site, but get the message that the certificate
is wrong. And this makes sense because the certificate is assigned to 
www.mysite.com, not mysite.com. Make sense?
   How can I get around this problem. It is killing me.


Please if anyone has ideas, let me know. 
Do I need to do anything with my dns entry in tomcat?

Also, what is the "admin" module I see and can I install it on a existing 
Tomcat 5.5 server?

Hello,

Two DNS Entries Two Sites?

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

Running Tomcat 5.5 @ home and running a website which has a DNS entry in
it. I made the site the default webapp, and configured it in the
server.xml.

 

A week ago, I created another context (in the server.xml) for a
dev-site, of my live site, and I am using that for QA. I want to run a
second real-web site off this box, and same Tomcat. It has its own DNS
entry, and want to know if this is doable? If so, what should I read
about as far as configuration. I had read about the Engine, Server,
Context but have not really seen how to put two site DNS entries in.

 

Thanks,

Scott

RE: Re: Verisign SSL on Tomcat 5.5.9

[Scott Purcell]

Hello Sycamore ...

I was able to get verisign SSL (free trial) cert and real cert working
on 5.5x Tomcat on a XP box.

I struggled with the install for weeks, and after screwing around, found
out it was once executable that was in my install (Tomcat) that was
screwing things up. I am at work now ... and I do not remember the
executable that was messing the whole install up.

If you can grep on all .exe files in your tomcat install and email them
to me, I could tell you which one you need to remove (rename so it is
not used) then all should work.

If I do not see any posts, I will email this thread when I get home.

PS, I was given all kinds of things to try ... but at the end of the day
it was as easy as the Tomcat docs. I'll get back with you.

Sincerely
Scott

Yes,
That was the problem with my Tomcat 5.5, Verisign configuration. After
following the Tomcat 5.5 docs, and the Verisign Tomcat docs, and them
removing that dll, all is good.

I have been running with the SSL for quite a while now. Also, if using
Struts, the ssltext is awesome for controlling which pages get https and
which get normal http. This eliminates the need to control everything

Are you thinking of the tcnative-1.dll (APR), rather than a .exe file?
The SSL configuration is different when APR is in the game.

Access log to see where robots go.

[Scott Purcell]

I have had trouble getting search engines to see my site. I built it with 
struts, and use some tags from the index.html page to get business logic, to 
finally get to my page. The url is http://www.theuniquepear.com

Anyway, upon talking to some co-workers, they suggested I watch my access log, 
so I can see what files they are indexing. I thought I had the access log 
turned on for the site, and see when someone hits my web site, but as far as

Robots cannot read JSP?

[Scott Purcell]

Tim,
Thanks a lot for the info. I got to thinking, and tried invoking curl
from my box on the url, and see exactly what you saw. The js screwing
things up.

So I decided to run curl on different pages, and I came to the
conclusion that only htm, or html pages show up via curl?

Does anyone think that the robots are just like curl, and that they can
only read HTML files?

Thanks for all, I know this is a bit off topic ...and I hope I don't
hack anyone off.

configure tomcat 5.x to see index without redirects?

[Scott Purcell]

I have created a site  using struts over
the past couple of months. I am running Tomcat 5x and Struts 1.2x.

If you read below, I am doing a couple of redirects to get the user to
my real site.  I would like to know if I can configure Tomcat to just go
to that site? Or if I have to go through all these redirects.

 

But here is my huge problem. I have a html file in my tomcat root which
does a javascript function that directs the user to the site. Something
like this:

top.location.href="http://www.theuniquepear.com/unique/index.jsp";

 

This gets the browser into the proper webapp from the url entered, and
it calls the index.jsp page which then calls a

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

  

 

The kind of defacto I see in all Struts books.The welcome finally calls
a welcome.do action, I go and get some buisness objects, then finally
... display the jsp page that the end user sees.

 

This all works, except any web crawlers and robots, cannot follow this
insane logic. And when I do  a curl on my url, it only shows the
index.jsp with the javascript:

 

Is there a cleaner way to get around all this redirecting, so that I can
get my business logic called up and go to a clean page, so when I do a
curl which I think the robots are using, they can actually index my
site? 

 

This is killing me. If anyone has ideas, suggestions, or could assist, I
would be appreciated.

 

Regards

default webapp not understanding

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

 

I am having trouble understanding what is meant by the default webapp.
Here goes.

I have a site which I have a dns entry for. After reading the docs, I
put the application under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mywebapp

 

In the server.xml I added this snippet:





 

Now when I hit my site with the dns which points to my IP addrss for
this box, it goes to a index.html file in the

$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root

 

It does not go to the index.html in the

$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mywebapp/index.html

 

Can I somehow configure this to go to the above
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mywebapp/index.html?

 

I get confused when the doc states that the entry in the host must also
have a context entry? Can anyone clarify that. Here from the docs

Exactly one of the Hosts associated with each Engine MUST have a name
matching the defaultHost attribute of that Engine.

 

My big deal is to somehow get the index.jsp in the
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mywebapp to be called automatically when I hit my
url.

 

Thanks,

(It would help if you'd tell us what Tomcat level you're running...)

For 5.5.x, the default webapp is the one located in webapps/ROOT.war or
the webapps/ROOT directory.

Deploy your webapp in webapps/ROOT, not webapps/mywebapp.

Where does it say that?  The current doc states that you _can_ nest
 tags inside , not that you must.  Putting  tags
in server.xml is strongly discouraged these days, but not all of the doc
has caught up to that fact.

> Here from the docs

That attribute for simple Tomcat installations is "localhost", which you
already have.  Nothing to do with contexts.

RE: default webapp not understanding

Sorry, I didn't catch the other one.

Tomcat 5.5x on xp

If I deploy the webapp in ROOT, then the structure would look like this:
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root/mywebapp. 
And the index.html would still live in root .. isn't that correct. So I
would still need a way to go from the root/index.html to the
mywebapp/index.html correct?

This is where it gets confusing.

This has been my confusion ... when I put the war file there, it creates
the
mywebapp folder structure. Should I of named the webapp root?

OK, lets say I take the contents from the war file and place all loose
in root ... that should work then, and my problem would be resolved. But
if I want another app, lets say devmywebapp, how does that work. As I
cannot put two folderless apps together under root.

Sorry, possibly I am making things more confusing than they are.

No - get rid of the mywebapp idea.  Your app needs to be deployed AS
root, not under it.  Your app replaces the existing contents of
webapps/ROOT.

Update: Robots cannot read JSP?

[Scott Purcell]

I started the below thread last weekend, and upon suggestions, I have
changed some javascript redirects to get to my site, into some JSP
redirects, based upon user input earlier this week.

In a nutshell, I am trying to make sure that robots can index my web
site. 
My web site is a struts application, and is the default app. The way the
site is configured, it is the root app, and I configured the root app to
use welcome-file as a .jsp. So when the user hits the url
 it goes to a jsp page, which then does a jsp
redirect to the www.theuniquepear.com/unique/welcome.do the way struts
is set up then finally to the jsp via the action.

Due to my lack of robot understanding, if I use curl now, and just issue

curl www.theuniquepear.com it shows nothing, and does not do the
redirect.
But if I hit curl -L www.theuniquepear.com all is good and it is what I
want the robots to read.

I made the change last Monday or so, and each day I check my access log
and the only entry I see is the robots come in and get a 500 and they
are gone. When I google for my site, nothing shows up.

Does anyone know if the robots follow the links like the curl -L or does
it just use something like curl and never indexes my site? Also, what is
really silly is that even this email will probably be found when I type
in my url. Currently if one types in 'the unique pear' in google, I see
all the threads I start for this subject, but the site is never to be
found ... not good for business.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott,
Your assessment is incorrect!  First off, curl doesn't read html pages, 
it does a get or post to a url just as though you clicked it in your 
browser (and a lot of other things you can do with curl). Second off, it

is not the jsp that is the problem, it is the javascript as Tim said, 
and the lack of links.

Tomcat 5.5 Possible Context Question

[Scott Purcell]

Running Tomcat 5.5.15 on Win 2000.

 

Originally we were running Tomcat 4.x?. So in order to upgrade our
administrator loaded 5.5.15 and copied (copied) the webapps from the 4.x
to the 5.5.15.

 

There are currently four sites running, and I can hit the index.html for
each context. But I cannot invoke any of the servlets within the webapp.
After checking the 4.x server.xml, I recalled that we put the context
entries there for these four sites.

 

But as I am reading the 5.5.15 docs, it looks like putting them there is
frowned upon. I would like to try and get this resolved, and possibly
someone ran into this same thing? Is a context entry required somewhere
in order to fire up servlets?

 

 

Thanks,

RE: Tomcat 5.5 Possible Context Question

[Scott Purcell]

Thank you Charles

It appears that a combination of element(s) and
(s) elements does the trick.

I can now hit the servlet using my servlet-mapping url entry.

No matter what, I cannot call the servlet by using the
com.xxx.xxx.ServletName. But that was sloppy anyway, and it looks much
better calling the url-entry.


Thanks,
Scott

No, it's only required when you need some Tomcat-specific attributes for
the webapp, such as  definitions.  Were you using the dreaded
invoker servlet in 4.x?  This is now disabled, since it creates
significant security risks.  In lieu of the invoker servlet, you should
be providing servlet mappings in the web.xml of each app.

sure where to begin looking for this functionality? If this is possible, is 
there  a debug level that could be used so I could find out what pages it hits, 
etc? Or is this something that needs to be written and tired into the 
container. This is Tomcat standalone, no Apache front end.


If anyone has this knowledge, links, etc. I would certainly appreciate.

Scott

RE: Best way to include common html

[Scott Purcell]

Possibly a framework for templating. Tiles, SiteMesh they are created
for exactly what you are looking for. Of course you can use JSP includes
... but the frameworks do a better job IMOHO.

What is the best approach to get shared HTML files, (such as header and
footer files) located outside each appBase, 
included into an application (.jsp) under Tomcat?

SSI filter ?
Or some context resource setting ?

Thanks for any help.

RE: Tomcat and MySQL sync problems

[Scott Purcell]

If I remember correctly, MySQL basically disconnects and shutdowns after
a certain amount of time. I remember doing something with a
"reload="true" in the datasource to prevent this.

Hopefully someone else may clue you in better, but you may want to check
the datasource props and see if this is valid.

Hello,

I'm having a problem where it seems Tomcat and MySQL go out of sync and
I am
no longer able to connect to the MySQL database.  The only way I've
found to
be able to reconnect to my database is to restart Tomcat.  This
generally
seems to happen some time over the course of the night and I notice the
problem when I check on things in the morning, but it doesn't seem to
happen
every time.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it?

Here is a list of what I'm using:

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,

Looking at incorporating the Java Persistence API (EJB 3.0) and was wondering 
if Tomcat 5.5 supports this. It looks like we need container managed services 
and was wondering if we can use Tomcat instead of JBoss?

Thanks,
Scott

Tomcat 5.5.17 SSL

[Scott Purcell]

I am running a instance of Tomcat in which there is one web site that is
running SSL and a cert from Verisign. The server.conf has the entry for
the real DNS name and the certificate configured and all is good. This
site is a production site. 

 

I just purchased another box for development purposes. I want to be able
to copy the code down from production and start working on version 2 of
the site. Problem is, I do not have a DNS entry for the devsite. I just
figured I could enable SSL for a instance and run like so. 

 

So my question is, can I create one instance that is SSL on my new
tomcat 5.5.17 that does not have a valid SSL certificate, but the code
from above would run on? If so, please advise.

 

Thanks,

Scott

RE: Help: Enabling SSL

[Scott Purcell]

Seems like the same thing that was going on with myself the other day on
5.5.20 Tomcat. In Tomcat/bin directory is there a dll called
tcnative-1.dll?

Here is an email from Charles who helped me:

If you used the .exe download for Tomcat, you may have APR installed.
Its SSL configuration is rather different than that for Tomcat's pure
Java connector.  The doc for APR is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html

Alternatively, disable APR by deleting or renaming bin\tcnative-1.dll,
and then the standard SSL handling (which appears to be what you
configured) will be in effect.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up installing with the
native checkbox checked, then the .dll was in my bin, I took that out,
and then my SSL worked just fine after following the same links you did.

Let me know how it goes.

Scott

Hi everyone,

However, if I attempt to connect from the local host as follows:

Is there any additional set that needs to be performed for enabling SSL

Tomcat 5.5 configure site to web problems

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,
I am having some real problems with configuring my site to the internet.

I created a site on my PC, using Tomcat 5.5, and throughout development/testing 
I would call the site like so:
http://localhost/mySite
and all was good.

I purchased a DNS name from Register.com and configured my Tomcat 5.5 like so:

This is my server.xml file:



It took a while to get this to work, playing with appBase and docBase, but this 
did get the site to display.

But after that, I am having more problems. Each time a user goes to the site, 
they get two JSESSIONIDS, and have to click on the first buttons two times?

Falling back to my localhost, I did not see these problems. Over the weekend, I 
figured it was time to see what may cause this. Eveidently I screwed something 
up in the configuration and could use a hand. Also, with the entry in the 
server.xml, I cannot create another site on the box and call it with 
"localhost" or "127.0.0.1" Anyway to get around this. I want to create a 
devMySite for bugs and new development, but that is even giving me a fit.

I would certainly appreciate any help with these issues.

Sincerely
Scott

Uh, right. "first buttons"? Sorry, crystal ball doesn't work this

Again, no idea what you mean by the above; it's perfectly possible
to have multiple hosts defined in server.xml, as the doc indicates.

Perhaps if you posted your actual server.xml file (with, *please*,
all the irrelevant comment sections removed!) someone could help...

So, what's the issue? You have a defaultHost in your Engine element
that doesn't exist; add a Host element for it.

Note: it's no longer recommended to put your Context elements in
server.xml -- see the docs for alternatives.

Help Configuring Engine/Host/Context

Hello,

I am completely lost in trying to configure my Tomcat 5.5. I have read the docs 
under "Context", "Engine", "Host", and am having trouble putting the 
information to use.

I have one webapp that I need to configure to a DNS Entry.

Below is my server.xml. My DNS is www.theuniquepear.com and it lives under 
webapps/unique. But with the below configuration, and when I try and hit the 
url it goes here:
http://www.theuniquepear.com/ and does not go to the context of "unique"?

Can anyone assist me here?

Thanks





  


  

  






  
  



  

  
  

  




  

Re: Help Configuring Engine/Host/Context

[Scott Purcell]

I did that, but when I call my url, it goes to the url, and never picks up
the context? I was hoping I would call www.myurl.com and it would call
www.myurl.com/unique.

Why is that the appBase?

You do not need an extra  entry; it's superfluous.  You do need to
name your default app ROOT (either in ROOT.war or in the ROOT directory
under webapps).  That's the simplest way to do what you appear to want.

admin module for Tomcat 5

Hello,
I am running Tomcat 5, and I have been having troubles configuring a web-app

it may assist in this.

I downloaded the admin module for Tomcat 5, but do not know where or how to

trick. I googled for info, but it appears to be slim.

Anyone?
