I haven't even started yet :( I need to block out some time to submit
the abstract and start the presentation soon. If you can just give me
a few slides on the basic layout of the debian distro I can add them
to the presentation I create and then send it to you to review. If
you'd rather add to my presentation yourself, I'll just send it over
when I start working on it and we can go from there.

Hi Chris,

I've submitted the proposal to:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp/proposals/14951/13401

Any thoughts, sugestions are appreacated!

I am planning to add my proposal to the wiki page [1], but not sure which 
section it should fit to. Support? Performance? Community?

BTW, your two propsals seems mis-linked in [1], the links should be swapped...

Thanks,
Huxing

Go ahead and submit the proposal -- you can submit the slides later, so
all you need is a 4-sentence abstract.

I'd be happy to have a look at what you have so far (if you have
anything), or to help you get started. Feel free to email me directly.

Hi Coty,

If you already have a draft of your presentation you can send it to me

Hi,

Happy Chinese New Year!

I am planning to submit a topic about the challenges tomcat faces under high 
throughputs production systems, how we troubleshooting issues under such 
scenarios and how we fix it.

This is the first time for me to submit a proposal, therefore it would be glad 
if someone can offer me help on finishing it.

I am planning to submit the proposal today or tomorrow, any suggestions will be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

It won't be that. It might be three days with you, me and jfclere...

If you have already submitted a paper, please either annotate the
TomcatCon NA 2017 wiki page[1] or reply to this message and let us
know. We need to be able to reach-out to get speakers for those topics
that don't yet have a presenter, and we don't want to double-book a topi
c.

[1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/TomcatCon+NA+2017

> The CFP closes on 11 Feb.

Note that you don't have to have the presentation ready in order to
make a submission. You can wait until it's been accepted to begin
working on it if you want.

For those who think they might not be able to "get off work", remember
that Tomcat (presumably) powers your software deployments. You have
been getting completely-free software and support the whole time you
have been using Tomcat. You probably use other ASF software in your
stack since you are using Tomcat. I think you can make a pretty
compelling argument to your boss that (a) the way you "pay" for Tomcat
is to be a part of the community, (b) part of being in the community
is occasionally going to conferences, (c) part of being in the
community is sharing your experiences (giving presentations), and (d)
this type of conference counts as "professional development". If you
give a presentation, it also counts as a publication :)

While your employer can't "sponsor" your presentation, it is entirely
appropriate for you to include your employer's name in your sides
(usually on an introductory slide). Both you and your employer are
free (and encouraged!) to publicize your presentation as widely as you
can. It's great for us because we get more interest in the conference.
It's great for you because you get to be a speaker at
ApacheCon^H^H^H^H^HTomcatCon! Tomcat, like httpd, powers a great chunk
of the Internet and being known as an expert in the community ain't
too shabby.

We are all systems go :)

We *really* need to start getting names against the various talk ideas
we already have and turn those into CFP submissions ASAP. The CFP closes
on 11 Feb. We could do this just a small number of committers but I'm
convinced the broader the selection of speakers we can organise, the
better TomcatCon will be.

The first speaker for each talk gets a free registration. Also, there is
the potential for the ASF to provide financial assistance to those who
would otherwise be unable to attend various ApacheCon events:
http://www.apache.org/travel/

We need to use the ApacheCon CFP to submit talks. Please ensure that you
put Tomcat in the target audience.
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp

We will have a dedicated registration page for TomcatCon.

ApacheCon attendees will also be able to opt for TomcatCon as an
optional extra.

Registration for TomcatCon will get you access to ApacheCon and vice-versa.

We'll get the list of submitted talks ~14 Feb and we'll have a couple of
weeks to get the completed schedule back to the organisers.

I have an action to write some text to improve on this place-holder:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/extend-the-experience/co-located-events

More updates as a get them, but please start submitting those talks and
updating the wiki.

And at this stage is doesn't matter if we have several folks who could
do one of the presentations. In fact that probably helps as it gives us
more flexibility when scheduling - we don't anyone having to speak for 5
or 6 sessions in a row.

Tomcat 8.5 introduces support for HTTP/2, JASPIC, and TLS virtual
hosting, adds a JSSE provider which uses OpenSSL for crypto with
NIO/NIO2, and drops support for the BIO connector. Those are all
pretty big changes, but Tomcat 9 can't be truly released until the
next spec version is finalized.

There is actually historical precedent for this with Tomcat 5.5.

Tomcat 5.0 supported the Servlet Spec 2.4, and the forthcoming Tomcat
6 would support Spec 2.5. Before Tomcat 6 was ready, major
improvements were made, such as being able to run Tomcat with only a
JRE and not a full JDK. These improvements required significant
changes which were deemed too major to put into Tomcat 5.0, and so
Tomcat 5.5 was released essentially as a replacement. Tomcat 5.0
immediately went into maintenance mode, only to receive security fixes.

The situation with Tomcat 8.0 is a little better: it is still
fully-supported, and probably will be at least until Tomcat 9 is stable.

I'm not entirely sure which version of Tomcat we'll give up on first:
7.0 or 8.0. One could make a good argument for either course of
action. But we the maintainers generally think that supporting 3
versions at a time is quite enough, thank you very much. We are
currently supporting 4 versions, if you count Tomcat 9. Some people
are using Tomcat 9, though I would hope for only very experimental
uses at this point.

As both a maintainer of Tomcat itself and a user of Debian Linux, I
can say that I have never liked the package-managed versions for a few
reasons (for example, little variety in versions available, plus only
very old versions being available). Perhaps I can be convinced to
switch to a package-managed version of Tomcat under certain
conditions, and that the version "problem" form my perspective can be
solved by some mutual collaboration.

We can certainly get into that in Miami.

When you explain it that way it makes total sense, but users outside
of the tomcat development circles (read maintainers/consumers of that
distro's package, like freeipa) didn't know that so they assumed that
it was just a regular 8.x release (and were probably confused where
the 5 came from). I've been explaining that it's a fork of 9, etc but
that isn't always well received which is understandable IMO.

That's a reasonable position to take IMO, it's just not the position
that the Tomcat team took.

Tomcat 8.5.x is essentially like the Debian back-ports system for a
particular release. We were doing some great new things in Tomcat 9,
some that would require e.g. newer Java versions, but Tomcat 8.0 had a
documented Java-version requirement that we couldn't change.

Tomcat 9, by definition, exists to support an as-yet-unreleased
version of the Java Servlet Specification. So we can't release it,
yet. But there is a LOT of good stuff in there that we weren't
comfortable back-porting to Tomcat 8.0 for the reasons above.

The result was Tomcat 8.5 which is essentially the best of both
worlds. One could argue that Tomcat 9 should have become Tomcat 10 and
Tomcat 8.5 should have instead been Tomcat 9.0, but our
versioning-scheme has generally followed the Servlet-spec version, so
that Tomcat X+1 supports the spec version following the one that
Tomcat X supported.

It's important that the Tomcat team understands these outside
perspectives. We may have made a different decision given that kind of
input. I'm glad that more maintainers, etc. are becoming a part of
this community. I think it's going to improve things for everyone.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in Miami!

That sounds good to me. I'll put something together and submit as soon
as I can after checking with other maintainers to see if they're
interested.

That would be interesting. I'll try and chase up some of the
complaints that I've heard recently to see if I can bring them to the
list and sort them out.

I'm not sure I agree with that (and I'm positive that other groups
don't because I've heard complaints). It's the same major version (8),
just a minor version update so the general expectation is that there
aren't any breaking changes. If we were talking about the difference
between 8 and 9, then sure we can do whatever is necessary as long as
things were properly deprecated, etc.

I've annotated that page with notations of which presentations I've
personally made proposals for ApacheCon 2017. I'd encourage anyone who
might consider giving a presentation to volunteer to do so.

If you'd like to give a presentation, please submit a Speaking
Proposal on ApacheCon's Call For Papers[1] page for this event. You
don't have to have the presentation ready. You don't even have to know
exactly what you are going to present to submit a proposal. Just a few
sentences about what you'd like to do.

If anyone is thinking that they'd like to do *something* but aren't
sure what, please have a look at the ideas listed on the page above.
If you think you know a lot about a particular subject, please
volunteer! Many members of the community (myself included) would be
happy to help you put together a presentation for ApacheCon.
Presentations are usually 50 minutes, so I try to write it for about
35-45 minutes plus some time for questions at the end.

If you think you know about something *else* (that isn't currently on
the page), feel free to propose *that* idea and add it to the wiki
page with your name. The more the merrier!

Thanks,

This isn't really Tomcat-specific, but it might require a bit of
configuration change from the default.

I don't know a thing about Websocket other than vaguely how it works
from an HTTP-upgrade-to-wide-open-byte-transfer-channel point of view.
I know some of the use-cases it covers, but I'm not sure how I would
get started. I'd love for someone to give a tour of some simple
application to dissect it and describe what's going on. It could even
be a "tour of the snake example" for all I care.

I think some people think that presentations at e.g. ApacheCon need to
be highly technical or complex, or presented by people whose names
they recognize.

I disagree.

If someone will come and give a presentation on Websocket, I'll waive
their registration fee[1].

What about Jean-Frereric's and my previous presentations on connector
performance? It doesn't cover GC and DB, of course.

The confusion is about the default default defaults. I believe that
(a) documentation update is in order and (b) an implementation change
might be in order as well. There is no reason why a  with
e.g. minSpareThreads should not create an  that behaves as
if it had been configured with separate /s.

+1

I just got off the phone with a customer who was struggling to
understand why his TLS certificate wouldn't load. He replaced the old
cert with the one one and restarted the service. TLS wouldn't come up.
Anyone with experience would know that the key and cert need to match,
but he didn't understand that: he was just following the "SSL guide"
from his CA -- which was awful, by the way.

I kind of scoffed at markt's suggestion that we have a "Configuring
TLS with Apache Tomcat" workshop, but I think that 90% of the
attendees to an ApacheCon could use a tutorial on what TLS is, what a
certificate is, and why there are so many moving parts.

Re: TomcatCon @ ApacheCon

2017-01-17 Thread tomcat

Hi.
Sorry for top-posting, but it seems to be the practice so far in this thread.

Although I will be unable to attend anyway, I have a suggestion for a topic :

"How to get the most performance / lowest resource usage out of your Tomcat"

Admittedly, this is a vast and tortuous subject. But it seems to me that 
considering
- java's reputation in general for being a computing resource hog
- the multitude of parameters available in terms of settings for the Connectors, 
Executors, database connections pools, GC etc.
*and* the fact that many (a majority of ?) "tomcat users" (in the sense of this list) are 
not fundamentally java web applications developers, but rather sysadmins tasked with 
setting up and running tomcat systems,
some kind of "top-down" presentation, starting with some basic principles, and providing 
some guidelines as what to do in some real-world scenarios, should be susceptible of 
interesting a vaster potential public.


And the fact that the potential benefit of attending, may help some in reducing the 
overall computing resources that have to be dedicated to run their applications (or 
conversely increase the bandwidth of their existing infrastructure investment), may also 
provide an argument for one's boss to send one there.


To provide some kind of (admittedly narrow) real-world link to the above, see the current 
thread on the user's list, entitled originally "tomcat 8080 thread not reduced".
Clearly it shows that, for example, the way in which Tomcat allocates/deallocates 
request-processing threads is not very clear from the available documentation, nor whether 
it has really an impact on tomcat's resource usage or performance.


To provide a wider context : most of the experts who are answering questions on this 
tomcat user's list are tomcat code committers, for whom java in general, and the tomcat 
code in particular, hold no mysteries.  For such people, some highly technical 
presentation subject would probably seem most appealing.  But the purpose of Mark's appeal 
seems to be to gather a wider potential audience, so it may be sensible to choose some 
subjects with could potentially appeal to people who would not normally go to such 
highly-focused presentations.  I am not really advocating a "tomcat for dummies" 
presentation, but maybe something more akin to a tomcat marketing approach would be nice.
In any case, if you want to convince your boss to send you there, there has to be a 
presentation title which your boss can understand and relate to. Without of course making 
it so appealing that he will decide to attend himself.

OK, you asked for it.  :-)

- The best and worst moments in Tomcat history.
Specific examples.  Memorable events.  Could be just for the year so the same 
topic with different content could be presented next year, like an episode.

- Tomcat vision roadmap.
History and plans for the future.  Respond to RFC and bug reports.  Other

Subject: TomcatCon @ ApacheCon

All,

There is the opportunity (if we can pull it together as a community) to run a 
dedicated Tomcat conference alongside ApacheCon NA 2017. The dates are May 16 
to 18.

The call for papers closes on Feb 11 so we have around a month to get 
organised. We'll also need to convince the conference organisers that a) there 
is a demand for this and b) we have a plan.

Getting the right content is going to be critical to success. I've been 
thinking about this for a while and I think we can identify the right content 
if as many folks as possible on this list answer the following
question:


We have up to three days and potentially multiple tracks so even if you think 
you have a niche requirement, please speak up. We typically have a number of 
Tomcat committers speaking at ApacheCon so finding someone to cover a 
particular topic shouldn't be too tricky. Equally, if you have a topic you 
could present on that you think others would find useful, speak up.

Do feel free to add your +1 if someone else mentions a topic your are 
interested first. Having an idea of how popular the topics are would also be 
helpful.

Also, we don't have to stick to the standard "Sit and listen to someone present for 
40 mins" format. Discussions, workshops, hackathons are all possible.

OK, you asked for it.  :-)

- The best and worst moments in Tomcat history.
Specific examples.  Memorable events.  Could be just for the year so the same 
topic with different content could be presented next year, like an episode.

- Tomcat vision roadmap.
History and plans for the future.  Respond to RFC and bug reports.  Other 
things?

- A day in the life of a Tomcat developer/contributor.
Typical vs ideal vs worst.  Humor.  Specific examples.  Multiple presenters.

Subject: TomcatCon @ ApacheCon

All,

There is the opportunity (if we can pull it together as a community) to run a 
dedicated Tomcat conference alongside ApacheCon NA 2017. The dates are May 16 
to 18.

The call for papers closes on Feb 11 so we have around a month to get 
organised. We'll also need to convince the conference organisers that a) there 
is a demand for this and b) we have a plan.

Getting the right content is going to be critical to success. I've been 
thinking about this for a while and I think we can identify the right content 
if as many folks as possible on this list answer the following
question:


We have up to three days and potentially multiple tracks so even if you think 
you have a niche requirement, please speak up. We typically have a number of 
Tomcat committers speaking at ApacheCon so finding someone to cover a 
particular topic shouldn't be too tricky. Equally, if you have a topic you 
could present on that you think others would find useful, speak up.

Do feel free to add your +1 if someone else mentions a topic your are 
interested first. Having an idea of how popular the topics are would also be 
helpful.

Also, we don't have to stick to the standard "Sit and listen to someone present 
for 40 mins" format. Discussions, workshops, hackathons are all possible.

Some topic ideas to get the ball rolling.

Hands-on workshop: Configuring TLS with Apache Tomcat Reverse Proxying to 
Apache Tomcat Load-balancing with Apache Tomcat Clustering  with Apache Tomcat 
Tomcat Clinic (like the users list but with everyone in the same room)

How about JIRA?

Is Apache Roller still a thing that people use?

I'm sure Leon would love to talk about MosKito... that's more
widely-applicable than some user's company's proprietary web
application... but they may use MosKito in conjunction with their own
applications.

I run JasperReports Server on Tomcat, but their "open source"
"community" seems to be not much of either, unfortunately.

And of course, we run our own custom applications -- which may be of
little interest to attendees.

Well, I think that most users of e.g. Hadoop are probably running
their own proprietary stuff, or something that is only really
interesting to a small group of users.

Speaking as the guy who gets to help advertise the event, I would personally 
like to see some third-party stuff at ApacheCon. Particularly popular apps that 
people run on top of Apache Foo.

I must admit my ignorance, I don't know what that is with Tomcat. But if 
there's some very popular application that folks tend to run on top of Tomcat, 
having the expert from that community join us for this event gives us an 
opportunity to cross-pollinate with other communities.

Admittedly, we've had very little success with this, with *other* Apache 
projects, but it seems worth asking. :-)

How about this: submit a topic to the Call for Papers[1] and choose
"Panel Discussion" for the "Submission Type". If you can get some
other maintainers coordinated, you can choose to prepare some slides
(maybe 5 mins each) and/or come with some conversation questions to
get things started with a panel. Open up to the audience as well. I
suspect you'll get a good conversation going. I'll certainly be there

Understood.

I know that some of the APR and httpd folks are absolutely rabid about
not breaking backwards-compatibility. Perhaps we could bring them into
the discussion to hear some of the things that they look for when
maintaining compatibility. In the Java world, there is no
binary-compatibility, for instance, but API compatibility is of course
essential.

> I don't have any specific examples that I can think of right now

That's a new major release of Tomcat, though. We ought to be able to
break whatever we want, there. I think complaints about lack of
backward-compatibility are unwarranted in this particular case.

For the most part, Tomcat devs tend to feel free to modify
completely-internal APIs as necessary, but will make an effort to
maintain backward-compatibility for semi-internal APIs. It might be a
good exercise to identify which parts of Tomcat should be considered
(publicly) stable and which parts are okay to modify.
Backward-compatibility is relatively easy in Java for certain things.
Major refactorings usually don't happen in a point-release.

I already have 3 Raspberry ready for this kind of thing, probably needs

Yep. I maintain tomcat for RHEL and am a co-maintainer of tomcat for
Fedora/Fedora EPEL. I've seen quite a few of Emmanuel's posts to the
list.

Yeah...I get that all the time :( I've only been the maintainer for
about a year and can't make any functional changes (just maintenance
updates mostly), but I have been working with BZ owners and folks on
freenode to try and remedy the concerns that they voice. I honestly
think it's quite a mess at the moment too, so I'm all for cleaning
things up. The biggest problem is probably users not understanding how
the distro chops up the tomcat distribution to make it modular. When
you install tomcat, you get the tomcat core code, the API
implementations, and that's it. If you want to use the ROOT webapp or
admin webapps, you have to install them, etc. This allows for the
minimum required packages to be installed and for users to add
whatever else they need. It also allows for you to install individual
things (like the servlet API, for example) without installing the
whole tomcat distribution. There is a lot of outdated reasons for
things being the way that they are (which I keep stumbling onto, so I
should probably start a document somewhere and explain the structure
as I see it.

+1, definitely. I will to do anything that we can to drive adoption of
tomcat up (distro-specific versions or ASF).

You're right. We had the same problem in Fedora until I started
pushing for updates when new releases and CVE fixes were released to
get them incorporated into Fedora as quickly as possible, so I don't
think that this problem exists there. I've also been helping with
updates for tomcat-native. The biggest concern that I've heard from
various of the involved people (and may be a reason why other distros
don't consume updates as frequently) is that tomcat is not that great
at maintaining backwards compatibility; I hear this complaint a lot
and I get push back from packages that have dependencies on tomcat
when I do push our new revision updates. I don't have any specific
examples that I can think of right now other than the update from 8.0
to 8.5 removing BIO. That has presented a huge issue for the FreeIPA
folks because Debian updated to 8.5 (I haven't updated Fedora yet
because of this and a couple of stability concerns) and the removal of
BIO makes it incompatible with dogtag via tomcatjss (a tomcat
interface to NSS for crypto instead of OpenSSL). Granted they've known
for a while that they needed to update, we removed a feature from
tomcat in the same major release. This same group is asking for
documentation regarding a policy on backwards compatibility; do we
have that somewhere?

Thanks!!

Perhaps we could have some representatives from the various
distributions give a joint presentation. Coty, are you in any way
involved with the RHEL package-management of Tomcat? Emmanuel Bourg
appears to be involved with the Debian package-managed distributions
of Tomcat.

The speakers might want to come prepared to be hit with a few
tomatoes, since distro-specific weirdness is something of a popular
topic. Often "install the official ASF distribution" seems to fix many
issues posted here.

I think it would be a good idea to use some of that time to solicit
feedback from the audience about what the distros could do to make
things easier... and perhaps what Tomcat could to to make things
easier for the distros. Package-managed versions of Tomcat always seem
to be hideously out-of-date, for example. Perhaps that's due to our
distribution style (new version) which is quite different from httpd's
style (patches + occasional new versions).

+1 even though this sounds silly.

I for one would like to have a practical introduction to using Tomcat
on auto-scaling clusters in e.g. Amazon EC2.

I have a single presentation submitted already for consideration. The
topic is "Let's Encrypt Apache Tomcat" ;)

I was also planning on reprising one of my previous presentations,
either the "Monitoring" or "Load-balancing" one, or possibly the
credential-handlers one. They have all been fairly well-attended in
the past.

If you wanted to really get a LOT of sessions going, I'd be willing to
do all of them, though it *is* a lot of talking.

Evidently, Daniel Rugguri tried this a few years ago with a "Let's
solve your mox_proxy problem" workshop, and literally nobody showed
up. I'm skeptical about a workshop for a few reasons:

1. Attendees might not have a "problem to solve" and therefore see a
workshop as a waste of their time.

2. Anyone with a problem to solve isn't going to wait-around for the
conference to get it solved.

Maybe we could instead have more like a live-demo of setting things up
from scratch. So it's not an AMA (AUA?) with a topic of e.g.
"custering" but instead have a session titled something like
"Clustering A - Z" where we build a live cluster while the audience
watches and asks questions in real time.

Jean-Frederic and I were musing in Austin (?) about getting a small
number of Raspberry Pi-type devices on the stage with activity/state
lights on them, build a cluster, and then start unplugging things to
show what actually happens when disaster strikes in your environment,
and how the cluster reacts.

I'm not sure that could be done in 1 hour, especially with all of the
questions we are likely to get or scenarios we might like to demonstrate
.

I happened to implement a custom TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory
to support multiple wars deployment with spring-boot for some reasons
(e.g, some requires multiple wars together anyway even in micro
service env) before.
It would be nice if we can discuss/share alternatives to create
cloud-friendly single executable artifacts.

Would anyone be interested (and is it within the guidelines) to talk
about the differences in some tomcat distributions? Like the
difference in the Red Hat linux and Debian tomcat distributions, for
example. I know it isn't 100% ASF Tomcat, but I get a lot of inquiries
about where to find stuff on freenode so it might be a helpful
conversation for the community to have. On the other hand I don't want
to blur the lines between where responsibilities lie, where people
should ask questions, etc...

TomcatCon @ ApacheCon

2017-01-09 Thread Mark Thomas
All,

There is the opportunity (if we can pull it together as a community) to
run a dedicated Tomcat conference alongside ApacheCon NA 2017. The dates
are May 16 to 18.

The call for papers closes on Feb 11 so we have around a month to get
organised. We'll also need to convince the conference organisers that a)
there is a demand for this and b) we have a plan.

Getting the right content is going to be critical to success. I've been
thinking about this for a while and I think we can identify the right
content if as many folks as possible on this list answer the following
question:

"What topic(s) need to be covered in a Tomcat conference to make it as
easy as possible to get your employer to pay for you to attend?"

We have up to three days and potentially multiple tracks so even if you
think you have a niche requirement, please speak up. We typically have a
number of Tomcat committers speaking at ApacheCon so finding someone to
cover a particular topic shouldn't be too tricky. Equally, if you have a
topic you could present on that you think others would find useful,
speak up.

Do feel free to add your +1 if someone else mentions a topic your are
interested first. Having an idea of how popular the topics are would
also be helpful.

Also, we don't have to stick to the standard "Sit and listen to someone
present for 40 mins" format. Discussions, workshops, hackathons are all
possible.

Some topic ideas to get the ball rolling.

Hands-on workshop: Configuring TLS with Apache Tomcat
Reverse Proxying to Apache Tomcat
Load-balancing with Apache Tomcat
Clustering  with Apache Tomcat
Tomcat Clinic (like the users list but with everyone in the same room)

I look forward to hearing your topic ideas.

Mark
