Re: Unable to use Python/CGI from Tomcat....
Is it worth writing a quick ksh script to validate your hypothesis that the environment (and specifically LD_LIBRARY_PATH) isn't being passed through? additionally (as a crap workaround) you could create a quick script which would set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH path and then invoke python, and use that in your shebang line... also, might it not be an idea to a have a specific instance of CGIServlet that has executable=python, rather than piping to ksh and then to python? (ie why bother with the shebang line, if you don't really need it...) just a few ideas, FWIW...

Re: Automatic deploy with ant and Tomcat 4.1.31
the tomcat deploy task doesn't build the war, it only deploys it, so
unlikely that it is at fault. Have you checked the war manually to
ensure it unzips normally with some zip util?
also the unzipping is not really done by the deploy task - but is
something that tomcat does at some point as part of its process of
deploying a war.

files/folders are nowhere to be seen.
Anyway offer any help?

Re: Convert URL path from directory/ to directory/index.htm (Spring related)
Hi Andy - Control of what to handle in tomcat and how to forward is fairly limited. (someone posted the relevant parts of the servlet spec) What I do is have tomcat forward all requests to spring, except for ones I really want tomcat's default servlet to handle (static stuff like images, css), so I have the following in the web.xml servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.gif/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.png/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.css/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namemy_spring_dispatcher/servlet-name url-pattern//url-pattern /servlet-mapping The control you have on url-mapping is much finer in spring - so why not do everything you want there... This __does__ mean you have to handle 404 etc type problems within spring (but again, quite easy to have a catch-all handler for these). I only do the default mappings so spring doesn't need to handle obviously static resouces. hth Tim Andy wrote: Hi, Is there anyway to get Tomcat to convert a request such as myserver.com/directory into myserver.com/directory/index.htm. The reason for this is that in Spring you have to specify a wild card to match against the URL path in order to invoke the DispatcherServlet, if this wild card is *.htm then a requested without index.htm in it results in a 404 from Tomcat. i.e. myserver.com/directory - gives a 404 response myserver.com/directory/index.htm - invokes Spring to deal with the request Perhaps this is an issue I can solve within Spring but thought I'd try the Tomcat angle first.

Re: Properly setting src attribute for an img tag in a JSP
Hi Ryan - the problem you're having is not one I've had (and it doesn't sound very familiar). Some ideas for looking at though: How are you deploying your application? Are you just editing your files in place? Does this problem go away when your restart tomcat? Have you checked the logs? Have you got any security on your webapp? Are you running this on windows and have some slight case-mismatch (I notice your contextpath is capitalised - it makes life easier to use all lower case, everywhere, in URLS, unless you've got a really good reason). Try recreating the problem with a brand new webapp. Try changing the src of a your image to a literal absolute src (http://localhost:8085/Company/img/image.jpg). Trye changing the img src... to a href..., at least that way you'll be able to see the request in process... check the logs for each. BTW The reason you can see it after one successful load is probably that it is then in the cache of your browser (or more scarily, an upstream caching-proxy) - there are usually settings in your browser control panel. after you get some of the results of these diagnostic moves, you could come back to the list for more. -- Tim Ryan Champlin wrote: All, Can someone at least let me know what the proper way to set the src attribute on an img tag is?

development of most use to myself and my company, but just in case of
use to someone else, I hit send anyway... )

I think it's best not to deviate TOO far from the model shown in
Application Developers Guide in the tomcat docs (really, this is a
fantastic starting point I think -
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/index.html or the
5.5 version ). I started using the sysdeo tomcat plugin for eclipse, but
no longer use it as I know exactly where I am with explicit ant tasks.
The build task in the application developers guide build.xml, does build
to an explicit and separate build folder and then compiles copies
across stuff from the web and src folders. (Note that it cleverly copies
across any non-java files from the src folder hierarchy to the
build/web/WEB-INF/classes hierarchy, meaning that you keep the source
for your classpath located .properties (etc) files in the src directory
- where it should be)
Practically speaking I actually don't have a separate build directory,
instead I build to the web/WEB-INF/classes directory but I do copy
across properties files from the web/WEB-INF/src directory... I deploy
my build directory directly to my localhost tomcat and reload it
(using the tomcat reload ant-task (optional tasks which require
catalina-ant.jar*) - this does the manager stuff for you.
The advantage of having the non classpath items not being copied is
particularly valuable when you are trying to tweak velocity templates -
there's no need to reload the whole webapp simply to correct some typos
in your velocity scripts) - again I'm not unit testing view outputs, at
present, so this point of view may change as well
I do use the dist task (building a war file) and deploying a war when
I'm deploying the webapp to a different (shared) machine (and often I
have a version/iteration-specific context name (like projectname-vX so
that I know which (repository version or iteration number) version is
being shown).
hth
Tim
*Note: It's worth having machine-specifc properties (the localhost
tomcat manager url, user and password) in a separate
build.local.properties (NOT in the build.xml file), which is then NOT
committed to your repository (as it will vary from machine to machine) -
then ideally your ant tasks will check that these properties are around
and if not throw up a helpful message.

Don't leave the source on the production server, but it's fine in
development. Strictly speaking your source files are inaccessible by web
clients if they are under WEB-INF, but better safe than sorry. Why not
store the src in another folder altogether - eclipse won't care where it is
presumably, and this is slightly better practice.
The other approach is to build a jarfile from a build script (e.g. using
ant), then copy the jar to the webapps/ directory, TC will auto-deply it.
Some would say this is the only way to do it. However it does slow things
down when you are making frequent small changes to code. For my money, the
value of a jar is ease of portability, which is a factor if you are writing
for true cross-container support.
I built classes direct to classes/ for a long time, then made the effort to
switch to jar deployment in development, after being persuaded by people on
this list. I'm glad I've done both, but to be honest I think I do prefer
building to classes, as it's quicker and I can't see a disadvantage to it
during dev.
Your approach that sounds a quite practical solution to me. Does eclipse
precompile JSPs for you too?
One other thing to watch is that logging.properties and properties files go
in the classes/ folder, so if you use these, be careful that eclipse does
not delete them when rebuilding your classes.

hi,
i'm starting a project using jsp + javaBeans..
i've worked with java a lot, but i have not much experience with web
applications..
for now my idea is that the application will be using
javabeans, and jsp
for displaying the data...
i use eclipse for the development, which nicely compiles every source
file automatically when i edit them.
that's why i came up with the following idea:
i'll create a directory in tomcat/webapps (let's call it 'mywebapp').
Re: Are we required to move to Tomcat 5.5 in order to move to JDK 1.5

Re: welcome file handling
Don't know about the difference, but a couple of potential workarounds: 1) could be to have your welcome page just be the default index.jsp and have it just contain a redirect to the relevant page (but this will mean a response-request roundtrip for your user). 2) alternatively you could include a base href=(absolute url) in the body of your frameset, but this would add a dependency on your server name, port, and context path in your html (yuck), but you could get around this with something from JSTL (which I don't know so well, but something like %@ taglib prefix=c uri=http://java.sun.com/jstl/core; % c:url value=dir1/dir2/index.jsp/).

The exact problem is that the behavior when I try to access webapp/dir1 via browser is different in tomcat versions 4.1.29 and 5.0.28. In 5.0.28 the pages in the frames are not displayed, they are not found in 4.1.29. index.jsp uses framesets and relative paths to reference the elements of the frame. I had the idea that maybe the mechanism how the welcome files are displayed (redirect / forward) is changed, between the versions. Do you know what is the difference which causes this behavior?

On the other hand, this might engender some kind of coupling between the two webapps, so maybe not the best solution (the whole thing doesn't feel like the best solution), but one __could__ get around this by passing in some optional parameter giving the url of the gif that needs to be included on every page, thus decoupling the two apps. Anyway, I may well have totally misunderstood the situation, so probably, nuff said on the area. Frank W. Zammetti wrote: I'm curious how this would work? If I open a page with an invisible GIF, there's no way (without scripting and such) to have the GIF refresh, right? Or is there something I'm missing? You can set a meta refresh on the page, but not the GIF itself, as far as I know anyway. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: delete temporary content after session timeout
that sounds very useful, not something I've done before -- can I ask a few questions - 1) how does one bind that into Tomcat -- declare a session listener in (I presume) web.xml? 2) as I'm using Spring Framework, is this still relevant (or is there a spring-specific way of binding in a session listener --- sorry, ought to ask that on a spring list...) 3) can you recommend the best reference material / sites on managing sessions (standard tomcat docs seem to have nothing on sessions I can find.) Tim Frank W. Zammetti wrote: Write a SessionListener... it has two methods, one that fires when a session is created, one when it is destroyed. That should do the trick for you. That's not a Tomcat-specific solution either, so it should be rather portable should you ever need to move to another app server. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Cannot access Tomcat from remote box
Hi Vincent - one more idea... Have you checked Tomcat's server.xml for what port it thinks it should be serving from? I recently installed tomcat 5.0 on a FreeBSD box from a BSD-package* and either because of the way the BSD-package was configured, or because of some other check, Tomcat ended up serving from 8180. So of course the box refused a connection on 8080. Tim *actually a BSD port but that's just too confusing... --- Am Freitag, 13. Mai 2005 00:35 schrieb Vincent Yau: Today, I got hold of 2 boxes that I need to setup tomcat. Both are Linux. One with Kernel 2.4, the other is 2.6.10. I have a 3rd box with Tomcat up and running that I setup a few months ago (version 5.0.28). So I downloaded Tomcat 5.0.28 on box boxes earlier today. They ran fine with a local browser accessing it. However, no other box on the network can access it. I got Connection Refused when trying to load the front page from any other machine (http://thatbox:8080). There is no firewall on either machine. I have tried ping, ssh, scp, httpd and all traffic goes through fine on both boxes. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Sessions and keep-alives
Hi Patrick - If not an iframe, why not a gif... There's nothing (in principle I think*) stopping you having a jsp page that returns a (tiny, invisible) gif (with the right mimetype) and with appropriate expires/cache-control headers to make sure that it gets got each time. That's the way some web-counters work, for example, and I can't see it would create a problem... (I don't however know whether you can maintain two session cookies at the same time... Would work however with a param-based session). --Tim * I have done this in similar kinds of situations with python php, but not tomcat. Patrick Lacson wrote: I've considered iframes, but unfortunately not an option for us. From what I understand AJAX can make async calls to the HTTP server from the webapplication only, not on behalf of another. So if the popup application is webapp B, and the parent webapp A, how can I call the webapp A server from webapp B for the keep-alive? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd just include this invisible gif on every page (request) of webapp B.

Re: Can a client recapture a session in Tomcat 4.1
Using IP sounds a bit scary as a lookup - think of all the users with equivalent IP addresses (because of NATing routers/firewalls, etc.). Plus it would be a strikes me it would be a nightmare to test... But, if instead you wanted to have a session that wasn't linked to tomcat's notion of a session, you could (maybe) build a separate Session management that was stored in a regular (non-session) cookie -- it would then persist across sessions in the same browser... Tim Arup Vidyerthy wrote: I am not sure if this can be done... I guess you could build framework where the user's session id and ip is logged (unless they logout) and then when the user comes back you could use the old session. I have never tried this but this personally but I dont see why it should not work.

Would this be a browser-specific thing? After all, I guess I'd need to tell the browser to persist the session cookie or some such thing. Or would it work browser-independently using URL-rewriting? If there is such a mechanism, does it pose any security concerns (e. g. through Tomcat reusing a session-id for a totally different session?) We're on Tomcat 4.1.

url-pattern in web.xml -- looking for explanations and best practice
Hi- I'm trying to configure my tomcat 5.0.28 webapp so that one servlet (a Spring dispatcher as it happens, but that's irrelevant) receives virtually everything except standard static non-text file patterns (*.css, *.png, *.gif, etc.) which I want served up statically. I've been trying various options for url-pattern within servlet mapping and have been getting very confused... Some questions therefore... 1) Is there a definition / documentation of what the syntax for a url-pattern is? I've tried and tried googling and looking, but can't find such a thing (I'm not sure that it's standardised across different containers, but there seems to be no definition in the tomcat docs that I could find). Obviously, if anyone can refer me to this, then I don't need the other questions answered! 2) is there any way to say - if a url includes a ~ (tilde character) then route it to a particular servlet. The following give errors: url-pattern*~*/url-pattern url-pattern~//url-pattern url-pattern~*/url-pattern But oddly the following doesn't: url-pattern*.~/url-pattern *error looks like: 11-May-2005 15:13:07 org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig applicationConfig SEVERE: Parse error in application web.xml java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid url-pattern ~/*.* in servlet mapping at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java :2540) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java :2566) -- 3) is there any way to specify NO extension (like a request for directory) and exclude things with an extension? 4) is there any way to specify what you want to go to the default (static) servlet and then state a sink for anything else (invert the default-specific servlet mapping in other words). 5) is there some obvious best practice I'm missing here (excluding making my urls less interpretable).
