RE: j_security_check question

Hmmm. Your auth constraint protects the login.jsp itself. Try changing that so the login.jsp is not protected. Maybe you have a chicken and egg problem. john -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. org]On Behalf Of Kevin Andryc Sent: Wednesday, July 03,

RE: j_security_check question

Is CustomLogin a resource at a protected URL, or is it a servlet that itself spits out a login page? You can't access j_security_check directly. Instead, you need to access a protected URL, the container sees that you're not logged-in and redirects you to the login form, you submit the login

RE: j_security_check question

No can do-ski. The container needs to know where to send the user upon successful authentication, but if your application presents a form to a user that gets submitted to j_security_check, the Tomcat authentication stuff won't know where to send the user when the operation completes. Your

I read somewhere that Yahoo does it half and half. That is, the pages they serve are technically static, but they're regenerated as often as new content, like a news story, becomes available. john -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. org]On Behalf Of

First, back-off. Yeah, maybe some people aren't reading your e-mails carefully, but some of us are supposed to be billing clients and not answering your e-mails. Second, an introduction to the art of reading stack traces. There's no problem loading your driver. If there had been, you would be

RE: [offtopic] IDE for Tomcat?

I agree. You don't need $3000 IDEs. I use UltraEdit + JSwat + Ant + WinCVS. Total cost: $30. Make sure to take advantage of the configurable tools in your editor, if it has any. I can launch Tomcat, Postgres, JUnit, and compile, run, clean, you name it all from within UltraEdit. Some of my

front controller pattern and security

Hi all. I've been thinking about how the j2ee front controller pattern (used by Struts et al.) does/does not take advantage of url-based authorization constraints in web.xml. I want to avoid having to check roles in my own code as much as possible. At first I thought I could declare a URL like

RE: driver manager does not work neither giving error

I don't think Tomcat will recognize classes12.zip no matter where you put it. Rename it to classes12.jar and place it under tomcat-homewebapps/project/web-inf/lib, tomcat-home/lib, or tomcat-home/common/lib. If Tomcat can't find the driver class, I'd expect a ClassNotFoundException in your

RE: Storing Java Objects in SQL

It's not so simple. setObject() only works if the object is an instance of a java class that maps nicely to whatever SQL type is the type of the column you're trying to set (e.g., java.lang.String -- VARCHAR). You can't just call setObject() on any java object and expect it to work. Unless you

jdk 1.4 and Oracle drivers

Hi all. Upon completing my most recent project I switched from jdk 1.3.1 to 1.4. However now I can't start Tomcat (4.0.1) because it can't find the Oracle jdbc driver class. When I first started using Oracle with Tomcat, I renamed the classes12.zip to classes12.jar. Now no matter where I put

RE: Form-Based-Authentication with Tomcat 4.0.1

Hello all. I'm a little surprised how uncommon this problem seems to be on the list. Anyway, I'll tell you what I know and what to do about it. Until now we've been using a protected index.html page as the entrypoint for our app. However, we've had the same problem Frank had. Upon starting
