AW: Restrict access to webapps for IPs
Ok tried it again.. first some more information:
I am using Tomcat 5.0.28 on Redhat Fedora Core 3, installed in
/usr/local/tomcat
I created a XML file called application.xml in
/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost
where application is the name of the webapp. That worked so far. The file
consisted just of a few lines:
Context path=/NetAdmin docBase=${catalina.home}/webapps/NetAdmin
debug=0 privileged=true
Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve
allow=192.100.46.*,172.16.*.*,194.25.29.*,127.0.0.1/
/Context
I have to mention that I did neither write that app nor know much about it
anyway.. it uses a JDBC connection
to a mysql database to write data to that db. But after creating that config
file mentioned above, the
JDBC driver didn't work anymore...
Anyone can help me with that?

You have put the Valve element into the wrong file resp.
place. It cannot
be nested into the web-app element and cannot be placed in
the web.xml.
You have to nest it into a engine, host oder context element.
In your case, you have to nest it into the context element
because you
want to apply the filter rule to a web application which is
equivalent to
the context element in Tomcat terms.
You should have a look at one of the links I mentioned to
find the right
place for the Valve element:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Try one of these options offered on this page (refers to
Tomcat version 5.5):
* in individual files (with a .xml extension) in the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory
* if the previous file was not found for this application, in
individual
file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files

It looks like your new Context definition is overriding an existing
Context definition for this web application which contains the resource
definition for the MySQL database.
So you should have a look at your $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml if
there might be a existing Context definition inside the related Host
element.
You should also look for a context.xml in the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/[webapp]/META-INF/ directory for the same
reason.
If you will find an existing Context definition, then insert your valve
filter there and delete you newly created application.xml.

load balancing
Hi, I have an application server that maintains session and I'd like to make it scalable. The clients and the application server are communicating using TCP. When a client tries to connect, I'd like the load balancer to connect to a random AppServer node, and from that moment on - that node should handle the session. The client can disconnect and reconnect and the load balancer should connect it with the node that handled the session before the disconnection. Is it possible implementing these requirements using the model described in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/cluster-howto.html? Is there a better architecture that you can recommend which is more suitable to what I just described?

When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context

Re: Arabic encoding
While I was searching for a solution for the encoding, I found this There is a standard for encoding URIs (http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL- code.html) but this standard is not consistently followed by clients. This causes a number of problems. The functionality provided by Tomcat (4 and 5) to handle this less than ideal situation is described below. 1. The Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector has a useBodyEncodingForURI attribute which if set to true will use the request body encoding to decode the URI query parameters. - The default value is true for TC4 (breaks spec but gives consistent behaviour across TC4 versions) - The default value is false for TC5 (spec compliant but there may be migration issues for some apps) 2. The Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector has a URIEncoding attribute which defaults to ISO-8859-1. 3. The parameters class (o.a.t.u.http.Parameters) has a QueryStringEncoding field which defaults to the URIEncoding. It must be set before the parameters are parsed to have an effect. Things to note regarding the servlet API: 1. HttpServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding() normally only applies to the request body NOT the URI. 2. HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() is decoded by the web container. 3. HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() is not decoded by container. Other tips: 1.

From: ojay78 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have 2 webapplications and one of them have to run with the tomcat 4.x Version the other one I want do install it on the new 5.x version. Can I install both tomcat versions on the same server? Yes. I have that configuration running here - 4.1.31 and 5.0.28. Are both versions independent, so when one crashs it has no influence on the other? They are independent. Each runs in its own JVM. I tried it today but I could only detect one Tomcat process in the Taskmanager and I could only connect to the 4.x manager tool although I gave one version the port 8080 and the other one 9090.???!!!

RE: Help needed with Hibernate persistent servlet
Hi, Hibernate needs a bunch of other jar files too. There is a text file in the H3 distrib indicating which are requisite and which are mandatory. You do not menion whether this HibernateUtil you are using as a servlet has an overridden init() method that creates the SessionFactory. Finally, the way we set the Hibernate sub-system up here is to use a ContextListener for our application which calls HibernateUtil.init which instances the SessionFactory. Another way to go about Hibernate3 usage in web apps is to use the Inversion of Control part of Spring. Cheers, Allistair. -Original Message- From: David Haynes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 May 2005 19:30 To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Help needed with Hibernate persistent servlet I feel that I am almost there, but can't quite get the last problem out of the way. I am using Tomcat 5.5.7, NetBeans 4.1rc2, and Hibernate 3.0.3. I have set up the web.xml for my project to start the HibernateUtil as a load-on-startup servlet and confirmed that the proper libraries (jar files) are in place under WEB-INF/lib. I know that the servlet is running since I put the declaration into the global web.xml and got back the duplicate service error. My problem is that I am getting NoClassDefFoundError. Looking at the java generated for my jsp, I see that the class not found is the one which references my persistent object.

The jsp does import my package containing HibernateUtil and the org.hibernate.* set as well.

But after creating that config file mentioned above, the JDBC driver didn't work anymore... Anyone can help me with that? It looks like your new Context definition is overriding an existing Context definition for this web application which contains the resource definition for the MySQL database. So you should have a look at your $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml if there might be a existing Context definition inside the related Host element. I looked at the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file, but can't find anything like that inside the HOST element. It's the standard server.xml file though, I don't know in what way a servlet itself can change that file; but I don't think it can. You should also look for a context.xml in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/[webapp]/META-INF/ directory for the same reason. I did, but there is none, and there never was one. That's what I thought first, but there's just a MANIFEST.MF file inside. If the MySQL database base connection has worked before and will work again, when you remove your newly created Context file, then there has to be a Resource definition for it somewhere. As you are using Linux why don't you simply search the files in the $CATALINA_HOME directory for this Resource definition? I.e. like this: grep -R mysql /usr/local/tomcat This way, you should find the file defining the MySQL resource for your web application (context). Then proceed as I suggested.

Re: tomcat restart?
Patrick Thomas wrote: Actually, I believe it might be possible. Ugly, but possible. Using Runtime.getRuntime() to get the current runtime, you can then actually make a call to a shell command. You could call a batch file that would shut down the server and then restart it. What I don't know is if the newly exec'd process gets taken down with tomcat... if so, you could have the shell program that you call start a new process that would not be associated with the existing one (in windows you can use the command 'start' in a batch file to start a separate process... someone else will no doubt supply the *nix equivalent). Thanks for the help. I'm running Tomcat as an init.d System V service on Linux. This means I can't write a simple script to restart it - the restart has to be done as root (although Tomcat runs as a user called tomcat). My startup script already does the work of moving jarfiles and our native library to their correct locations. So I've decided that automatic restart is in the 'too hard' category: instead I'll include in the webapp the means for an administrator to determine whether the deployment is up to date (fresh jarfiles in the shared/lib folder etc). It'll then be a manual administration task to restart Tomcat when required. It won't happen often.

Scenario 2 is easier to implement, there are fewer things that can break and less config files to maintain. Scenario 1 gives you a unified setting of your web space. You just simply know that you have one front-end, Apache. In that case Apache receives the initial HTTP request and can handle parts of it. The most interesting aspect of such a setup are authentication and redirection. While Tomcat has some rudimentary aliasing, Apache is superrior when it comes to URL rewriting, redirections and proxying. On the field of authentication, Tomcat supports HTTP-Basic, HTTP-Digest and SSL-based authentication. Apache can add to that SPNEGO (Kerberos5, read Microsoft Active Directory Service), plus several backend mechs for the Basic and Digest (LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL,...). Tomcat can only benefit from that. My advice to you, if you're learning or experimenting, use Tomcat StandAlone. If you're thinking production, gather your requrements and see what fits you best.

I have successfully used a library from IBM AlphaWorks to do exactly this. Sadly, the library I used was a precursor to a commercial product so it is no longer free. Good luck!

Re: Apache+Tomcat
We use tomcat standalone on production - most of our pages are dynamic (95%) and the user load is ~7000 and it has been behaving awesome - we use 4.1.31. hth, Anoop On 5/11/05, Nikola Milutinovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Praveen KUMAR wrote: Hello, I am little bit confuse in following decision: Should be use 1- Apache (2.0.54) + Tomcat (5.0.28) in production with tomcat listener (through Coyote connector) configured with mod_jk (1.2.12) with apache 2- Or Standalone Tomcat (with their standard apache provided by tomcat) What would be difference in both the scenarios in terms of performance and reliability?

Issues with Custom Realm in Tomcat 5.5
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help us with this problem. Current Tomcat settings: Release in use: 5.5.9 along with 1.4.2 compatibility add-on Logging using Log4J JRE version: 1.4.2_05 We have written our own custom realm that essentially extends the standard DataSource Realm. However, we are unable to authenticate users of Tomcat's admin and manager application using our Realm. When setting Log4J logging level to Debug, we discovered the following: 1. The Realm is loaded into the MBean Manager. We see a message 'MBean successfully registered' for our Realm 2. When admin is user is being validated, the log messages say 'ClassLoader error: class not found'. and authentication fails. I am not sure whether it failed to load our Realm (shouldn't happen since already registered with MBean) or something else went missing. We CAN perform authentication using the MemoryRealm that's configured by default. What makes this problem even more strange is our Realm worked successfully with Tomcat 5.5.7 Anyone have ANY suggestions as where can we investigate for this problem, please do respond back Thanks in advance. Ankit

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).

RE: url-pattern in web.xml -- looking for explanations and best practice
URL patterns are quite limited for the web.xml. The document you want is actually the Servlet Specification PDF from Sun's J2EE website. You can achieve what you are talking about using the JK module with Apache or IIS as this forwards requests from the web server to Tomcat. It allows the ! to say not this URL pattern.

commercial monitoring tools
I'm interested in people's experiences with commerical monitoring tools and Tomcat. I found one called ManageEngine that looks interesting - has anyone used that specifically? Are there open-source tools (e.g. Nagios - which I have no experience with) that can do the job just as well (including and especially an easy to use website for displaying monitoring info)? I'm interesting in coming with something that will let me track Tomcat's performance/behavior such that I can isolate what causes it to occasionally hang-up (no info in the logs) or run out of memory. If anyone has already looked into these things and come up with a decent solution please share.

Form Authentication with SSL behind Load Balancer
I'm running into a problem using form-based authentication with Tomcat 5.5.9 behind a Cisco CSS load balancer, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We've got Tomcat deployed on 2 nodes, not clustered, but load-balanced via NAT distribution by the Cisco device. We want the site traffic to be secured with SSL, but the SSL is actually terminated in the load balancer for efficiency and to offload the encryption/decryption burden from Tomcat. We also planned to use J2EE container-managed authentication using the form-based option. This is where we're having problems. When we reference secure content within the target web app with an HTTPS address, Tomcat serves back the configured Login page just fine. When we submit the Login form, however, and authentication succeeds, we are redirected to the original resource over HTTP instead of HTTPS. Since the SSL terminates in the load balancer, the Cisco device actually routes the request to Tomcat on the standard HTTP port (8080). It appears that, after successful authentication by the container via the Login form, Tomcat redirects the user to the original resource URL with the HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS, because Tomcat doesn't know about the HTTPS address intercepted by Cisco. To Tomcat, the requests all come in looking like plain old HTTP. Just for grins, I tried setting transport-guarantee = CONFIDENTIAL in my web.xml. It didn't work, just created a Catch-22 where Tomcat tries to redirect to HTTPS but Cisco intercedes and forwards the request to Tomcat as HTTP. I spoke with our Network engineers, and they don't believe they can do anything about this on the Cisco side. They believe it's a web server / Tomcat issue. Once I'm into the app, I can type the s after http in the browser's location bar to switch back to SSL. Clicking links with relative URLs in the pages appears to stick with the HTTPS protocol after that. It's only the initial container-managed login and redirection to the original requested resource that seems to cause the protocol switch. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Apache+Tomcat
Scenario two will be less hassle - unless you need a feature of Apache HTTP Server. If you plan to only use Apache HTTP Server as a listener for http request - it will be better off with the Tomcat alone. If, for any particular reason, you absolutely wish to use the Apache HTTP server as the http listener only - you can proxy the request in Apache to Tomcat.

Memory for JSP Compliation in 4.1
Will adding JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx128M to catalina.sh help with running out of memory during JSP compilation in 4.1? The notes in catalina.sh say that these options will be used when the start stop or run command is executed, but from the Jasper config page, I see that Tomcat will 'fork' another JVM in order to compile JSPs. Does this new JVM inherit the memory settings of the original, or is there some other way to increase its memory? I'm reading here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jasper-howto.html#Configuration and another mailing list thread about the same thing, though I can't tell if it was ever resolved http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg144736.html Yet AGAIN, something that works fine on my Windows development box is failing when I move it to the production web server which is running HP-UX.

Re: Arabic encoding
There are lots of potential pitfalls when using non-default character encodings. It is easy to make mistakes both with Tomcat settings and with your code. To sort out the tomcat settings, get the following index.jsp to work for whatever text you supply to the form. I have tested this with the latest TC4 and TC5 code and it works for me with any text I choose to enter. Once you have this working, you can look at your application and see what is different. Mark %@ page contentType=text/html; charset=UTF-8 % !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN html head titleEncoding fun/title /head body pData posted to this form was: % request.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8); out.print(request.getParameter(mydata)); % /p form method=post action=index.jsp enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded input type=text name=mydata input type=submit value=Submit / input type=reset value=Reset / /form /body /html Fadwa Barham wrote: While I was searching for a solution for the encoding, I found this There is a standard for encoding URIs (http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL- code.html) but this standard is not consistently followed by clients. This causes a number of problems. The functionality provided by Tomcat (4 and 5) to handle this less than ideal situation is described below. 1. The Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector has a useBodyEncodingForURI attribute which if set to true will use the request body encoding to decode the URI query parameters. - The default value is true for TC4 (breaks spec but gives consistent behaviour across TC4 versions) - The default value is false for TC5 (spec compliant but there may be migration issues for some apps) 2. The Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector has a URIEncoding attribute which defaults to ISO-8859-1. 3. The parameters class (o.a.t.u.http.Parameters) has a QueryStringEncoding field which defaults to the URIEncoding. It must be set before the parameters are parsed to have an effect. Things to note regarding the servlet API: 1. HttpServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding() normally only applies to the request body NOT the URI. 2. HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() is decoded by the web container. 3. HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() is not decoded by container. Other tips: 1. Use POST with forms to return parameters as the parameters are then part of the request body. Is this means that the changes between tc4 and tc5 about encoding is the reason why I can't have the write encoding in the new versions of tomcat? and if so, how to solve the problem?

Basic load balancing
Tomcat 5.0.28 We seem to often have to make minor changes that cause us to have to restart our tomcat server (the whole server, not just a web application) and this has lead me to decide to research load balancing. The idea would be to have two servers that would be exact duplicates. One of the servers would only become available when the other was not running. This way we could make the change on server2 (and restart it) and then bring server1 down and make the change to it as well. This would prevent any real downtime for our users. Where should I look for info on how to implement this type of failover? Thanks for your help -Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Strange error
You need to look at line 125 of WebApplicationListener in the org.objectstyle.cayenne.conf package and see which object might be null that you have assumed isn't.

Re: Want to run servlets from other directory than webapps
Hi Rudi,
Here's how I do it, and this also seems to be the 'correct' way of
doing it with Tomcat5 (as it doesn't mean messing with any
container-level files).
Into {tomcathome}\conf\Catalina\localhost\ I place a correctly formed
context file, for example ApplicationName.xml (very minimal for
demonstration purposes... you could, of course, make it do whatever a
normal context file would).
ApplicationName.xml -
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Context path=/ApplicationName docBase=C:/share/ApplicationCode/
debug=1 reloadable=true
/Context
--- End ApplicationName.xml
The C:/share/ApplicationCode/ directory would contain the JSPs, the
META-INF dir, the WEB-INF dir, etc. Restart your tomcat Server and
away you go. You can even use the admin utility to tweak it.
Cheers,
PST

Jk 1.2.10+ Tomcat 4.1.x slight problem
I'm running into a minor issue with jk 1.2.12, Apache 2.0.52-MPM, and Tomcat 4.1.31 server. It appears that Tomcat 4.1.xx is closing every ajp13 connection after 1 request. It also appears that if I get a burst of lets say 10 connections at once in Apache, that creates 10 connections to Tomcat. Tomcat doesn't seem to allow them to ajp-keepalive, so it closes them. The next request that the same apache process receives then attempts to reuse one of those 10 connections from the cache. Those 10 connections are dead, and with the default retries set to 3, it cycles through 3 of them and then returns a 500 error. As I understand it, my options are: 1. Upgrade to Tomcat 5 (so ajp13 connections are reused) 2. Set the retries on the worker equal to my RequestPerChild value 3. Switch Apache to a prefork model 4. ?? First, am I missing something about Tomcat 4.1.xx that would enabled reuse of ajp13 connections? Its not out of the question that I have it misconfigured, but looking at the code for the connectors in tomcat 4.1 it would appear that it closes the connection when its finished servicing a request. Second, should the JK_RETRIES value in mod_jk maybe be set dynamically rather than assuming it will succeed in 3 retries? Even with a properly configure Tomcat 5 instance, if 3 consecutive AJP13 workers die coincidentally at the head of the cache, the next attempt to use the 1st one from the cache will fail 3 times in a row and give a 500 server error. Third, if I turn off caching of workers (set the cachesize to 1), does this mean each thread will open a new connection each time- or will they attempt to share a single connection and wait in line on it? I guess I can refer to source code on this one, but if someone knows it would help save me some time. I have 35 threads per process now and don't want all of them waiting on the single ajp connection. I do want them to open parallel connections- so I assume I need to allow a cachesize equal to threads per child. I'm thinking about doing #2 above (set retries equal to threads per child), but I'm concerned about the 100ms delay added after JK_RETRIES is reached. In my case, every single worker is closed after one use, so I have the opportunity for a significant delay if it has to cycle through many dead workers during retries. 40 dead workers, for instance, would result in a potential of 3,700ms of sleeping if no other threads were attempting to cycle through the list at the same time. I guess if I change JK_RETRIES to a higher value, it will eliminate the sleep until I surpass that value. Its a shame that the default JK_RETRIES (3) is not configurable before the delays are added, or that there isn't a setting that say cycle through the cache once before adding a sleep to retries Byron - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
truncated responses tomcat 5/apache2/mod_jk
Hi, I'm running tomcat 5.0.28 with mod_jk 1.2.10 and apache 2.0.46 with the worker MPM. This is a new setup, and for the most part everything works fine, but I've had a couple reports of truncated pages being returned to customers. After turning on debug logging for jk, I see the below sequence often in the logs, but from what I've read elsewhere it's most likely just a browser being closed or a new request being sent from the browser before the previous one completes.

Apache2+Tomcat5.5+mod_jk loadbalancing: Sticky sessions not working
Hello, I have been trying for weeks now to get this to work. Maybe someone can help me. I have Apache2 installed and configured in machine A, using mod_jk to connect to two tomcat servers. Tomcat1 is in machine B and Tomcat2 in machine A. I have created a workers.properties file, which I have put in the apache conf. This file specifies workers timcat1 and tomcat2, as well as worker loadbalancer, which is supposed to balance the load between the two tomcats. Everything works fine, except for the sticky sessions, or session affinity. When a page is requested, I need it to be served from one of the available tomcat servers, and then each time the page is requested subsequently from the same machine, it should be served from the same tomcat server as before. It doesn't seem to work. Each time I refresh the page, it get served from the same tomcat a couple of times, then it gets served from the other tomcat, stays on that tomcat a couple of refresh hits and then swiches again. I can't see a pattern or figure out why this is happening. Here's my workers.properties file: # # workers.properties # # In Windows, we use backward slashes: ps=\ # list the workers by name worker.list=loadbalancer # # First tomcat server # worker.tomcat1.port=8009 worker.tomcat1.host=machine B's IP worker.tomcat1.type=ajp13 # Specify the size of the open connection cache. #worker.tomcat1.cachesize # # Specifies the load balance factor when used with # a load balancing worker. # Note: # lbfactor must be 0 # Low lbfactor means less work done by the worker. worker.tomcat1.lbfactor=100 # # Second tomcat server # worker.tomcat2.port=8009 worker.tomcat2.host=machine A's IP worker.tomcat2.type=ajp13 # Specify the size of the open connection cache. #worker.tomcat2.cachesize # # Specifies the load balance factor when used with # a load balancing worker. # Note: # lbfactor must be 0 # Low lbfactor means less work done by the worker. worker.tomcat2.lbfactor=100 # # Load Balancer worker # # # The loadbalancer (type lb) worker performs weighted round-robin # load balancing with sticky sessions. # Note: # If a worker dies, the load balancer will check its state #once in a while. Until then all work is redirected to peer #worker. worker.loadbalancer.type=lb worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=tomcat1,tomcat2 worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=True # # END workers.properties # In httpd.conf, I have added: JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug some JkMount lines LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so In server.xml, I've set jvmRoute=tomcat1 (tomcat2 on the other tomcat's server.xml) I can't think of any other infomation that you may find helpful.

Re: question about load-on-startup in web.xml
i tried putting in a sleep in my servlet's init method, but $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out seems to indicate that tomcat waits for it to initalize.. in my catalina.out, i have: May 11, 2005 2:12:06 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Installing web application at context path /webappX from URL file:/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/webappX ***webappX***start init ***webappX***end init May 11, 2005 2:12:06 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Installing web application at context path /webappY from URL file:/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/webappY any one know if there's a way to make webappY get installed before webappX? what determines the install order? i thought it was load-on-startup in the web.xml file, but maybe that affects the ordering of servlet initalization within a web application (if the web application has multiple servlets), but not the ordering of web application installation on tomcat startup. thanks. -annie On 5/10/05, Annie Wang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi doug, yup, was thinking along similar lines. just wasn't sure if there was some setting i wasn't aware of to do what i'm looking for. thanks. -annie On 5/10/05, Parsons Technical Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I may be off base on this one but I think that once Tomcat fires off the init method it doesn't care or monitor the progress of the servlet.

Re: Basic load balancing
From: Faine, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 11:24 AM Tomcat 5.0.28 We seem to often have to make minor changes that cause us to have to restart our tomcat server (the whole server, not just a web application) and this has lead me to decide to research load balancing. The idea would be to have two servers that would be exact duplicates. One of the servers would only become available when the other was not running. This way we could make the change on server2 (and restart it) and then bring server1 down and make the change to it as well. This would prevent any real downtime for our users. Where should I look for info on how to implement this type of failover? Thanks for your help Yeah, it's a mix of load balancing and clustering. The primary challenge you have to deal with is session replication so that when you fail your primary Tomcat, the stand by will have the same sessions in play. Once you have the sessions clustered, then it's a matter of redirecting traffic from the primary to secondary. This is what a load balancer system can do for you, in that it can help you cleanly switch over. What you need to do here is tell the load balancer to direct all new traffic to the secondary Tomcat, but still let any pending transactions go to your primary. Once the load balancer has shifted the traffic, you bounce the primary, let the primary add itself back in to your cluster and resynchronize the sessions, then you finally have the load balancer start shifting traffic back to the primary. Now, note that at some point during your switchover, you will be having both Tomcats live and working against the same DB or whatever your backend, so you need to make sure that it can handle that (if it's just a DB it's typically not a problem). Finally, once you've gone to all of this trouble, frankly, I'd just run both machines 100% and load balance between them, either round robin, or you can use session pinning (so that when a request comes in, their session sticks to a single machine barring machine failure). The reason I would do this is simply that I'm just philisophically opposed to having idle machines do nothing and waiting for something to happen. To me, an idle machine is simply a room heater. I don't need a $2000 room heater. In this case, since you need to have cluster aware sessions and replication anyway, and you have to have a load balancer fronting them anyway, why not simply double your performance (ideally) and run both machines if you're going to keep one idle anyway? You have to go through all the configuration headache anyway, so you may as well get some free performance out of it. It is my understanding that you can do most of this with 3 machines and stock Tomcat, as it already supports clustering, and there is a load-balancing application as well, but I don't know how good or featureful the load balancer is. Of course, you can do a function test on only a single machine with 3 interfaces as well.

RE: tomcat and virtual hosts
Bagus, Each virtual host is a host element in server.xml. The service (e.g. Catalina) has connectors to the ports for incoming requests. The engine in that service sorts out the requests for a particular virtual host based on the name attribute of the hosts. Any which don't match go to the defaultHost (e.g. localhost). Each host can have its own appBase as well as logs, root context, etc. Fritz -Original Message- From: Bagus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 3:53 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: tomcat and virtual hosts Here's a more general question about Tomcat.

Re: Memory for JSP Compliation in 4.1
From: Wendy Smoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 10:42 AM Subject: Memory for JSP Compliation in 4.1 Will adding JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx128M to catalina.sh help with running out of memory during JSP compilation in 4.1? The notes in catalina.sh say that these options will be used when the start stop or run command is executed, but from the Jasper config page, I see that Tomcat will 'fork' another JVM in order to compile JSPs. Does this new JVM inherit the memory settings of the original, or is there some other way to increase its memory? First off, no, the -Xmx option will do nothing in terms of affecting the memory for a JSP compile if fork is true. If fork is false, then the -Xmx options that you ran your original Tomcat with WILL affect the heap size for the compiler, but that assumes the Sun compiler. I don't know if HP's JVM is using Suns compiler or not (it may be). See, the Sun compiler is just a java class that can run like any other class. But if HPs JVM doesn't have the Sun compiler class available, then the JSP compiler is simply going to call javac, and that's going to fork no matter what your Jasper setting. Also note that at some point in the 4.1 version, the JSP/Sun compiler combo had a memory leak. I don't know if that was Tomcat, Jasper, or Suns compiler that was at fault, or whether your version has it fixed, but that was an early impetus for forking to compile JSPs in the first place, to punt around the memory leak. Um...how big is the JSP that you're compiling? Is there perhaps a way to make it smaller? Perhaps including some of the static content at runtime rather than compile? (I'm trying to fathom a big enough JSP that would blow up the compiler, but who knows.) Have you considered looking at precompiling the JSPs (or at least the few nasty ones that are grenading your server)? Then you'd perhaps have more control over memory for the compile that the standard Jasper engine doesn't expose to you.

Hi Rudi,
Here's how I do it, and this also seems to be the

Into {tomcathome}\conf\Catalina\localhost\ I place a
correctly formed
context file, for example ApplicationName.xml (very
minimal for
demonstration purposes... you could, of course, make
it do whatever a
normal context file would).
ApplicationName.xml -
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Context path=/ApplicationName
docBase=C:/share/ApplicationCode/
debug=1 reloadable=true
/Context
--- End ApplicationName.xml
The C:/share/ApplicationCode/ directory would
contain the JSPs, the

away you go. You can even use the admin utility to
tweak it.
