I keep getting a "URL contains encoded special chars" 500 Error whenever I
try to View All Context on the Tomcat admin page. Both Add Context and
Remove Context work fine. I'm having this same problem on several operating
systems: Win98, WinNT, Linux, and Solaris 7. All are running Apache 1.3.20
and Tomcat 3.2.2. All report the error on line 197, of the java servlet
created from the contextAdmin.jsp file. In looking through the java code, I
don't see anything that would be involved with processing or creating a URL,
so I'm confused
I've looked through the tomcat-user archives and there have been 13 messages
saying they were having this problem. The last one was July 10, 2001. None
of the messages had a solution. Has anyone experienced this problem and
found a solution?
The java code involved, with comments and non-involved lines removed, is
shown below. I don't see anything in this code which would cause the
exception caught at line 194 and sequencing on to line 197.
119 if (param.equals("View All Contexts")) {
120 Enumeration enum = contextAdmin.getContextNames();
121 while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
122 String name = (String)enum.nextElement();
125 out.write("\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><font
color=\"#CC0000\"><h2>CONTEXT NAME: ");
128 out.print( name );
131 out.write("\r\n </h2></font>\r\n");
134
135 String[] contextInfoArray =
contextAdmin.getContextInfo(name);
136 for (int i=0; i<contextInfoArray.length; i++) {
139 out.write("\r\n <dd><dt> ");
142 out.print( contextInfoArray[i] );
145 out.write("\r\n");
148
149 }
152 out.write("\r\n </ul>\r\n");
155
156 }
157 }
158 else if (param.equals("Add Context")) {
o
o
o
186 }
187 else out.println("ERROR: Null Request Parameter Value");
188
191
out.write("\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n</body>\r\n</font>\r\n</html>\r\n");
193
194 } catch (Exception ex) {
195 if (out != null && out.getBufferSize() != 0)
196 out.clearBuffer();
197 if (pageContext != null)
pageContext.handlePageException(ex);
198 } finally {
Thanks for any enlightenment.
