 Yes, it is an  error. But in this case, I, too, consider the error erroneous.
 A status code  of 400 basically means that the request was syntactically
 b0rked. But, as I  understand it, that's not the problem here: the
 request is syntactically fine  - it fails because the server is
 misconfigured. Therefore a status code of  500 seems more appropriate to me.

Well, w3.org says:

Error 4xx, 5xx 
The 4xx codes are intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred, 
and the 5xx codes for the cases in which the server is aware that the server 
has 
erred. It is impossible to distinguish these cases in general, so the 
difference 
is only informational. 

The body section may contain a document describing the error in human readable 
form.

Not found 404: The server has not found anything matching the URI given 
Internal Error 500: The server encountered an unexpected condition which 
prevented it from fulfilling the request.


I still vote for 404 :) (as if my vote matters) because the server is all fine 
and dandy (the APP is misconfigured not the server), but the client is asking 
for something not available. But the difference is only informational :)

Cheers,
JC

Well, 404 might be appropriate from the client's point of view.

I think I remember the recent suggestion of a default ROOT application,
used when no other is present, which would prevent this from actually
being a problem, it seems like a good idea to me.

 see the logging of my classes.
 BUT!
 Each request to the application will throw immediately a HTTP error 400 - bad
 request.

Try with recent 6.0.x (build it yourself), or 6.0.30 (when it comes
out), or 7.0.5 -- they will log such requests into AccessLog.
Usually it means that this request was rejected by the connector, or
by CoyoteAdapter.  What is your client?

Do you have a ROOT application deployed? You should have one.

If the request isn't being routed to your application, then without a

This is either because your application is not deployed, or because the
request path you're using does not match the actual request path deployed.

When you start Tomcat, is there a message in the logs saying:

02-Dec-2010 10:44:17 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory
INFO: Deploying web application directory com.mycompany.myapp


OR

02-Dec-2010 10:44:17 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory

?


What is the exact URL (you may omit the actual domain if you wish) that
you then request?

Because you can specify the path in server.xml.

Otherwise it's dependant on the app directory/war file name, unless you

Easy solution: rename the dir from com.mycompany.myapp to myapp.
WAR files are not packages, give them a sensible name.

400 isn't enigmatic and /is/ an error.  ;)

You can either implement a custom ErrorValve in your host, or provide a
ROOT application.  Any request to your server that doesn't match the
path of a deployed application gets directed to ROOT.  Which you don't have.

I'd suggest you make a simple empty ROOT app.  Tomcat will then serve
404s for missing URLs.  You could also customise the 404 response page
to suit.

It IS an error indeed, but we're not talking about throwing just ANY random 
error number here :) 

400 is a specific error which to my untrained eye has absolutely nothing to do 
with the fact that under the named context there's no application deployed. 
That's why a 404 would have sent me much sooner in the right direction - 
resource not found, instead of trying endlessly to play with the request 
headers 
and the HTTP protocol details. But maybe it's just me.

Yeah I probably will do that - but I will still regard it as a dirty hack...

Otherwise thanks a lot for your support, I was obviously misunderstanding what 
the Path parameter of the Context is expected to do. Now I know what I have to 
change. Or I think so at least. Back to the drawing board.

automatic deployment without server.xml - bad request

2010-12-01 Thread Justin Case
Hello all,

I'm on Tomcat 6.0.29 in Windows (XP or server 2003, same) and I'm trying to get 
an application to deploy automatically without putting it in server.xml - as 
the 
documentation strongly recommends. 


Just to note, if I put the context setting in server.xml like this all works 
fine.

Host appBase=wtpwebapps autoDeploy=false 
deployOnStartup=false
name=localhost unpackWARs=true xmlNamespaceAware=false
xmlValidation=false
Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve
directory=logs pattern=common prefix=access_log.
resolveHosts=false suffix=.txt /
Context docBase=com.mycompany.myapp path=/myapp
reloadable=true override=true
Manager pathname= /
Resource name=hibernate/MySessionFactory auth=Container
type=org.hibernate.SessionFactory

factory=com.mycompany.myapp.HibernateSessionFactoryTomcatFactory
configuration=hibernate.cfg.xml /
/Context
/Host

If I remove the context from server.xml and place a context.xml in my app's 
META-INF, then enable the two deploy params, the deployment happens succesfully 
- that's what the console says at least. The application even starts ok, I can 
see the logging of my classes.
BUT!
Each request to the application will throw immediately a HTTP error 400 - bad 
request. Funny enough, this error will not even be logged anywhere, even when I 
enabled debug logging in Tomcat! (and got 100M of logs which I searched 
through). No record of the 400 whatsoever, while I can confirm the Host header 
IS there - I see it in Firebug (and with the other context it works anyway).

What I see different is that the Tomcat's work directory, the 
work/Catalina/localhost/com.mycomp.myapp directory it created automatically at 
startup is and stays EMPTY. Now normally there should be the compiled JSP's 
right? So there's SOMETHING not ok about this automatic deployment, and I'm 
unable to figure out what it is. There was in May an interesting discussion 
thread on this list called Misunderstanding deployOnStartup actions, but that 
guy also ended up using server.xml so... I only see advice like your config is 
wrong to start with, which might be very true (otherwise one wouldn't be 
posting), but I wasn't able to see anywhere sampled a CORRECT config.

Thanks A LOT for any hints/samples/links,

Re: automatic deployment without server.xml - bad request

2010-12-01 Thread Mark Eggers
Short answer:

Please read (carefully), the following documentation:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html

Longer answer:


1. remove the docBase attribute from your Context

Your docBase would only work if you have a directory 
$CATALINA_BASE/com.mycompany.myapp.

2. remove the path attribute from your Context

Rename your WAR file to myapp.war. Tomcat will correctly infer the path

3. Place myapp.war in $CATALINA_BASE/webapps

Tomcat (by default) will unpack and deploy your application

4. Remove the Manager node from your Context.

The Manager node relates to managing HTTP Sessions. The Hibernate sessions 
relate to Hibernate units of work.

4a. Tomcat: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/manager.html
4b. Hibernate: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/sessionsandtransactions


5. Remove the Resource node from your Context.

6. Place the hibernate.cfg.xml file where it will be packaged in 
WEB-INF/classes.

6a. In a NetBeans project, place it in project-name/src/java
6b. In a Maven project, place it in project-name/src/main/resources

7. Use a ServletContextListener to get a Hibernate SessionFactory.

Here's an example: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingHibernatewithTomcat

I do things a little differently, by creating a utility class, and then using 
that utility class in a listener. I can then attach logging and MBeans to the 
listener.

. . . . just my two cent.

right? So there's SOMETHING not ok about this automatic deployment, and I'm 
unable to figure out what it is. There was in May an interesting discussion 
thread on this list called Misunderstanding deployOnStartup actions, but that 
guy also ended up using server.xml so... I only see advice like your config is 
wrong to start with, which might be very true (otherwise one wouldn't be 
posting), but I wasn't able to see anywhere sampled a CORRECT config.

Thanks A LOT for any hints/samples/links,
JC

Re: automatic deployment without server.xml - bad request

2010-12-01 Thread Justin Case
First of all, thanks for your long answer.



 Please read (carefully), the following  documentation:

Exactly from there I got the approach of Copy unpacked directory hierarchy

 Your docBase would only work if you have a directory 
 $CATALINA_BASE/com.mycompany.myapp.

It works actually, only gives the (expected) warning that it will be ignored. 
But you're right, normally I removed it when switched to context.xml (didn't 
mention in my message as I thought it unimportant)

 2. remove the path attribute from  your Context
 Rename your WAR file to myapp.war. Tomcat will correctly  infer the path

I'm not using a war but the unpacked approach. Nevertheless, interesting - the 
automatic deployment section doesn't mention this inference and I was always 
wondering.

 3. Place myapp.war in $CATALINA_BASE/webapps
 Tomcat  (by default) will unpack and deploy your application

...and will it compile the JSPs as well? Because that was my original problem...

 4. Remove the  Manager node from your Context.
 The Manager node relates to managing HTTP  Sessions. The Hibernate sessions 
 relate to Hibernate units of  work.

Yes but the Manager =  should be used, according to Google, to avoid 
serializing the HTTP sessions - a previously bothering situation. I think I'll 
keep it :)

 5.  Remove the Resource node from your Context.
 6. Place the  hibernate.cfg.xml file where it will be packaged in 
 WEB-INF/classes.

Hibernate.cfg.xml is there already... I'll try removing the Resource but I 
remember needing to put it there as well (used in some filters) - I might be 
wrong here.

 7. Use a ServletContextListener  to get a Hibernate SessionFactory.

I'll try this too.

 that  utility class in a listener. I can then attach logging and MBeans to 
 the 

 listener.

No beans here :)

So, bottom line: great tips thank you! I will try them all. I'm honestly not 
sure whether they relate to my problem, though...

JSPs are only compiled upon first reference, not before.  That results in a 
slight (usually very slight) pause for the first guy in, so if you want to 
pre-compile them, there is a script available to do so:
