problems migrating from tc 3.2 to tc 4.01

2001-11-12 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

i have a webapp im trying to port from tc 3.2 to tc 4.01.
the app is aparently ill-behaved and shows some problems when porting:

1) the app relies on trying to catch FileNotFoundExceptions from 
jsp:include statements.
if the jsp it is trying to include isnt there, it silently ignores it.

this works in tc 3.2, but tc 4.01 refuses to catch te exception in the 
jsp. the exception
apears to get caugt before hitting the jsp servlet, and bails out.

which behaviour is correct? tc 4.01? in that case, is there some other 
way of doing it?


2) i use PoolMan, and got a nullpioniter exception when it couldnt find 
its config file.
tat is expected, but the entire tomcat instance died with tc 4.01. that 
didnt happen with tc 3.2

is this a bug, or have i configured someting wrongly?

any hints apreciated.


env: tc 4.01, ibm jdk 1.3, linux

The jsp pages always shows the GMT time but we have GMT+1 and then we have summer and 
winter time so right now the time shows 2 hours after.

My server platform is NetWare 5.1

getting a jsp file to always be executed on form-based authentification

2000-12-18 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

i would like a certain jsp file to always be executed when form based auth succeeds, 
regardless of which
resource we are trying to get at, something like an event-handler for the auth event.

i cant really find a provission for such a function, other than having some session 
variable
to check against, and including the same piece of code in every page.

This is doable, but is there any more elegant solution?

I will need to make my own security interceptor at some stage. Should I take care of 
this need in
the interceptor?

Q:forcing reload of a changed bean

2000-12-18 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

is there a way to force reload of a recompiled bean?
ok, this is supposed to be automatic but it doesnt always work,
so is there a way to force tomcat to unload a class so that it
will be forced to reload the same class next time??

Re: container managed authentication - how?

2000-12-05 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

try reading the server.xml file. you must activate an interceptor.
you can choose from several.

 hello,
 
 I just installed Tomcat 3.2 and deployed my web application, which is
 running sucessfully nuder Orion and JRun, using form-based authentication.
 However, Tomcat completely ignores the security-constraint settings. How can
 I get Tomcat to enforce this? Does Tomcat support container-managed
 security?
 
 thanks in advance..

Re: is it possible to dynamically create and interpret JSP?

2000-12-05 Thread Joakim Verona

Ok, this seems possible. My initial impression is that this would be cumbersome,
especially the first time you view a page with the tags, but on the other hand,
if the pages are long-lived, like in my case, it wouldnt be bad at all. hmm.
it is growing on me. 

Thanks!

 Sure it's possible - depending on your JVM's security manager.  If you have
 access to write to your document root directory, then you can write a file
 to that directory and then redirect/forward to it.  It will then be compiled
 and executed. You will probably want to create a directory in the webapp for
 the session to keep from stomping on other sessions files. You would also
 want to listen for the session ending event(s) to clean up the files after
 the session is over.

 Subject: is it possible to dynamically create and interpret JSP?
 
 hello,
 
 is it possible to dynamically generate and interpret jsp?
 the purpose is to reuse custom tag libraries.
 
 the jsp code would mainly be retreived from a database.
 
 is it at all possible, or should i rather look at some other template
 mechanism?

how do i recreate the user session after session timeout or server restart?

2000-11-27 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

i have an web-app which uses form login. This works well except when the session times 
out or
the server is restarted(due to a software update)

the problem occurs when the user reloads a page from a no longer valid session.
tomcat then redirects the user properly to the form-login page.
only problem, then, is that the user then is redirected to the original page, which 
relies on a valid session.

i could of course have the session initialization code in every page, but this is 
error prone.
is there some more elegant way, perhaps using some form of event handler? 
(interceptor?)

i think the basic problem is that i cant make the form-login system actually do 
anything other
than setting the username in the underlying session object.

using postgres jdbc driver in tomcat

2000-11-02 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

im using the postgress jdbc driver in tomcat, with the poolman
connection pooling package.

it works well, but there is a strange limit on the lengths of texts
that are possible to insert, i can only insert about 8k long texts using
the setString function.

does anybody have any experience with this problem?
i tried the setCharacter steram functions, but they were unimplemented.

(i realise this is sligthly off topic)

Re: APJ12: connection failed

2000-10-30 Thread Joakim Verona

hello,

apache and tomcat talk to each other using the ajp protocoll
on a port, normally 8007.

apache needs to have a plugin properly configured and running for this to work.

there appears to be both mod_jserv and mod_jk you can use for this, where mod_jk is 
never.
i use mod_jserv.

read the installation instuctions, and find which plugin to use and where to put it
(depending on your os config) and then change the apache startup file to include 
a file called tomcat.conf or something like that tomcat creates for apache when 
starting.

hope this helps somewhat, even if i wasnt very specific.

 ajp12: can not connect to host 127.0.0.1:8007
 ajp12: connection fail
 an error returned handling request via protocol "ajpv12"
 
 What does this mean?  I see when I type netstats -a that both ports 8007
 and 8080 are not listening.  I tried changing the default port to 8009
 and this did not work.
 
 Can anyone help me
