Error getting catalina context in struts action.
Hi All, I am implementing a custom JDBCRealm security for my struts application. I have configured the login page path in web.xml and have mapped the path in struts-config.xml. When a user tries to access a restricted page it is directed to the login page. After entering userName and password, hitting the submit button caused a null pointer exception as it expects a Catalina Container context object. THis is because I have overridden the method authenticate(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response,LoginConfig config) in AuthenticatedBase.java in my authentication class called from submit action. THis LoginCOnfig object can be obtained from the context object which unfortunately coming as null. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Can't Login as Admin or manager
Hello, I just setup Tomcat 5.019 as part of the NetBeans 3.6/Sun JDK 1.4x package. At first I was able to login as manager and admin, after an edit to the tomcat-users.xml file. Now, after apparently using the wrong ID or password to login, I can not get back in no matter what I do with the tomcat-users.xml file. It looks like there's some password administration that has locked me out. I've searched high and low in Tomcat doc and can not find a way out of this. Short of a re-installation, what the secrete that I do not know? Thank you in advance, -Roger - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Can't Login as Admin or manager
There is no account lock-out implemented in tomcat. Have a look in server.xml and see how the realm is configured. You might have changed this through the admin app. If you have, the previous server.xml should still be in the conf directory with a timstamp appended to the filename.

NPE in ActionForm where it is not be possible
I am getting a NullPointerException in an action form that should
theoretically not be possible :(
Any ideas/help/suggestions are appreciated. Obviously it is possible
:).
I happens when I'm testing. I find a problem, leave my browser up, then
stop/start Tomcat. I select a home page link from the page that is
still displayed - its simply an action wrapped simple JSP page with no
dynamic data that serves as a central bulletin board for my users.
After that is displayed, I go back to the page that I am developing on.
Boom! I get the NPE in the middle of a getter method on the action form.
Here is the method - the NPE is flagged at the line if
(log.isDebugEnabled()) {.
...
public String getMeasParmsId() {
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(getMeasParmsId()= + measParmsId);
}
return measParmsId;
}
...
The log variable is initialized when the Action form is instantiated,
like so:
public class ChartWizardForm extends ActionForm implements
java.io.Serializable {
private transient Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(ChartWizardForm.class);
...
Obviously I'm missing something pretty basic. Is Tomcat re-using a form
instance across restarts? I've got pretty much default settings in
Tomcat:

RE: Can't Login as Admin or manager
Mark, I've not touched the server.xml file. Here's it's contents below (realm portion only).

Finding CSS files in webapp
Greetings fellow Tomcat dancers,
Been losing cycles in a gumption trap, trying to hook a CSS file
up to XSLT-generated XHTML pages. Many thanks to whomever sees
my obvious error.
If I hardwire the full-path filename of my development environment
into the XSLT file, all works as hoped/planned/dreamed. But all
other techniques I've tried fail.
Tomcat: 5.0.19. Webapp name: nrd.
WAR layout:
|-nrd
|-css/nrd.css
|-images/
|-Meta-inf/
|-Web-inf/
|-classes/
|-dtd/
|-lib/
|-xsl/
|-web.xml
web.xml:
web-app
servlet
servlet-name
controller
/servlet-name
servlet-class
org.apnp.nrd.ControlServlet
/servlet-class
/servlet
servlet-mapping
servlet-name
controller
/servlet-name
url-pattern
/*
/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
/web-app
XSLT source that works:
head
meta http-equiv=Content-Type
content=application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8/
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=C:\Apache\Tomcat\Tomcat50\webapps\nrd\css\nrd.css/
/head
Versions of CSS href that do not work:
href=css/nrd.css/
href=/css/nrd.css/
href=./css/nrd.css/
href=nrd/css/nrd.css/
href=/nrd/css/nrd.css/
href=./nrd/css/nrd.css/
I've also tried setting a global XSLT parameter:
xsl:param name=rootDir select='../docroot'/
and calling that:
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href={$rootDir}css/nrd.css/
which results in a known unsuccesful link:
href=/nrd/css/nrd.css
Please, if you can, tell me what obvious thing I've missed.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Best wishes,

DBCP with JDBC driver in WEB-INF/lib
Hi all, I'm using tomcat with DBCP for connection pooling, on a hosted server. My hosting provider is using an older driver that doesn't support some JDBC 3.0 features I'd like.
