Re: Java on Multi/Dual Core

A few points: 1. Java 1.4 is YEARS obsolete. It should not be used in production anymore unless there is some reason why upgrading is impossible. And if there is such a reason, time to fix it and upgrade. 2. All modern Java versions, including 1.4 I believe, use native system operating syste

Does anyone have any ideas on this? This whole thing is basically not usable for real work if exceptions are silently dropped, which is what is happening. Surely someone has implemented some kind of log system that works in Tomcat? Or at least there's a way to dump exceptions to System.out or

Oh my. Ok, you need to get some basic familiarity with Tomcat before you leap into that. First, your applet.class file should not be in WEB-INF. Second, don't do this as a servlet. Make a simple static HTML page work, with the applet, first. Disregard WEB-INF entirely. Getting an applet to

More progress: it looks like System.out and System.err are being captured by classes in org.apache.tomcat.util.log. I could probably recompile those classes to NOT do anything. Alternatively, if I could find out where in Tomcat those are being instantiated, that might be under configurable con

I found a partial solution (requires Java 6): I wrote my own class: class MyLogger { public static void log(String message) { if(System.console() != null) System.console().printf("consoleLogger: %s\n", message); } } This has the unique advantage of working, unlike System.out. It

I'm tracking down part of the problem. I think this relates to JULI, a terrible mistake that happened around Tomcat 5.5.9. It is fragile junk which results in no log entries whenever virtual hosting is used. I can't figure out how to get it to do anything more sophisticated than "silently dro

Here's a very strange problem: I'm running Tomcat, embedded within JBoss. This is the latest version (5.5.20 I believe) of TC. When I run this application on my office computer here, which has no virt. hosts, console log messages show up as expected. When I then move it over to my production

I ended up going with Jetty. It was not too difficult to write my own handlers for content within Jetty. It didn't have any built-in handlers where I could give it a URL as a base, but I was able to write a primitive static content handler and a very primitive Servlet handler which are enough

Hello Tomcat users, Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a simple web application. I need to ship it as a JAR file that runs anywhere, without needing to be unpacked or installed. I need it so that you run this JAR file, and it pops up a Swing dialog that asks which port to bind to, and then
