Session Size Calculation Question

2019-10-18 Thread M. Manna
Hello,

We are trying to do some calculation for our user session size (or near
estimate of it).

What we understand is that upon a "Graceful" shutdown, Catalina Host will
write out the serializable values of all session into a SESSIONS.ser file
in the main servlet's work directory. If this is correct, then the size of
the the SESSIONS.ser file (assuming 1 user has logged in) would probably
(and approximately) equal to a user's session size?

We do understand that not all the info in the serializable session may not
be required. However, given that StandardManager does the privileged load
based on reading the entire SESSIONS.ser file, we thought it would be a
more appropriate way of calculating the session size.

Any guidance or help is appreciated, and apologies for making any incorrect
assumption.

Thanks,

Thanks Olaf,

Typo in my email. They’re on 8.5.36. I will upgrade them to the latest 8.5.

tomcat-users.xml, as far as I remember, requires restart of the server
to be taken into account. You didn't mention that you did this. Plus,
you only said "updated": By default there's no account in there, I'm
assuming that you "updated" correctly. You might want to post it here
(bar the actual password).

Plus, your version is 1 day shy of being 7 years old, with the
end-of-life being even a few more days longer in the past (30 Sep 2012)

Mark recently answered this to a the same question for Tomcat 8.5:


There is no official date.

The Tomcat project maintains 3 major versions in parallel. Currently
these are:
- 9.0.x
- 8.5.x
- 7.0.x

We always provide at least 12 months notice of EOL.

Major releases are aligned with releases of the Servlet specification.
The current timetable for the next Servlet spec is TBD.

We haven't even announced EOL for 7.0.x yet so you have:
- x years until Tomcat 10 / Servlet 4.next is released
- 1 year for 7.0.x EOL
- y years until Tomcat 11 / Servlet 4.next+1 is released
- 1 year for 8.5.x EOL

Taking low estimates for x and y of 1 and 2 respectively, you have at
least 5 years before 8.5.x is EOL.

Take that figure as an "Engineering Estimate". Also known as a "wild guess".

Adding the manager app to an existing installation

2019-10-18 Thread Tom Povey
Hi,

I’ve been asked to help with an existing Tomcat install which is supporting a 
live website. When it was installed, it did not have the manager app added. We 
want to use the manager app now.

I have copied the manager folder from another Tomcat install (same version 
which is 5.5.36) and updated tomcat-users in the /conf directory but I can’t 
login to the manager gui. I give the username and password for the manager-gui 
role but it just comes back and redisplays the login prompt.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks for your help

Re: tomcat 8 post call lost in process

2019-10-18 Thread tomcat

Hi.

It is unfortunately a bit difficult to make sense of the description and information that 
you provide below.


But one thing is quite certain :
By the time tomcat (if I understand correctly, the one that you call the "slave") writes a 
line to its access log, with a result code "200 OK", it means that this tomcat not only 
*received* the request, but also that it *processed* this request, succesfully, *and* sent 
the response back (also succesfully) to whoever sent this request to it.


It is difficult to read the tcpdump log that you provide below, but it looks like it also 
shows that for each POST from the "master" to the "slave", there is a HTTP response with 
code 200 OK, from the "slave" to the "master".

Why do you think that these responses are being "lost" ?

Maybe you should have a closer look at the application on the "master" side, to see why it 
does not seem to catch the slave responses ?


Also, take into account that if the /application/ on the "master" side makes a connection 
to the slave, this is not tomcat code, it is the application code, and tomcat itself (the 
master) knows nothing about this. So there is little that we can do to help you.
