Re: Website downloading old file
BLimey, yes Test1 was miniscule whereas the original file was 11MB, Ill try this later on Parsons Technical Services wrote: Size is also a consideration. Were the two files the same size? Was test1 smaller? With ISP proxies, it is a crap shot at how they have them configured. Test theory: Upload three files. One smaller, one same size and one large than file.bin. Download each. Change each. Redownload each and check for changes. Note: You may wish to repeat this test in the event the ISP proxy expires the cached item while you are testing. This may also be what happened to the test file. Some systems flush the cache at an interval and some do it on file age.

Re: Website downloading old file
What is going on ? I moved the file to a new filename and edited the jsp to point to the renamed file. Tried to download it and it downloaded as the correct size. I then mnoved it back to the oldfilename and changed the jsp back to point to original filename and once again it downloads the old larger file which no longer exists !

Re: Multiple domain names to a single site
Still struggling perhaps I need to buy a book but Ive had a tentaive look at your options Parsons Technical Services wrote: Does the dnsmanager have a choice for redirection of an URL? It has lots of choices, you can change the dn server, and can use their own dnsmanager to chanage various web,domain and email settings. Unfortunately there is a lack of documentation explaining it. There is nothing saying redirection but I have raised a support request so wiill see what happens. If not: If the URL is pointed to an IP it will not change on its own. You could set up an app under a host of myapp.net and do a redirect to .com yourself. I think Im just llacking the understanding. My server.xml file and the one I previously used in another company just use the default host of localhost and that seemed to work ok. I did create a new host called www.mycompany.com which meant tomcat expect to find a directory of the same name underneath conf/Catalina but i cant really understand the point of it. Or I think you can do the rewrite of the URL from a jsp welcome page of myapp. I think Im right in saying this will only work on the default page www.mycompany.net not if they go to straight to www.mycompany.net/page1.jsp ecetera. OR Try the alias. I don't know if the alias will change the URL or not. (Or is this what you were doing?) Tried adding alises of www.mycompany.net and www.mycompany.com to the existing host of localhost but made no difference.

Multiple domain names to a single site
I have three domains mycompany.com mycompany.net myapp.com I have setup a website with a hosting provider using Tomcat 5 which contains the ROOT application and myapp application so currently if user goes to http://mycompany.host/ they will go to ROOT application and if they go to http://mycompany.host/myapp it will go to myapp appliation. I now want to change the dns records of my domains to point to my website. My question is are all the domains equal or is there a concept of a master and aliases, i.e should I just change the nameservers of all three domains to use my hosts name servers or is it more complicated to that for example I could map mycompany.net to redirect to mycompany.com. Also is it possible for myapp.com to go straight to the relvent application (http://mycompany.host/myapp) rather than the root application (http://mycompany.host/) Thanks Paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Multiple domain names to a single site
Parsons Technical Services wrote: You will be working with the host entries in the server.xmlFrom how I read this you want mycompany..com and .net pointing at the same app. You can do this either at the dns level or in the host entry with an alias. As for master slave the master will be the desired URL. If you want people to use .com the set it up as your main entry and the redirect in the dns or alias .net to it. This way when they get to the site the URL in the address will be .com If the mycompany site is the default site, as it appears to be, any URL that points to the server IP that does not have a matching host entry will go to the mycompany site. So you could just point both mycompany urls to the IP and it will work. With this the URL will remain as typed .com or .net For public relations don't do this as confusion will result. Especially when it comes to email. You have understood me correctly and I understand what you say in principal. I want to do achieve the first case you describe so that if they enter www.mycompany.com it will remain so, if they enter www.mycompany.net it will redirect as www.mycompany.com. But Im still not sure how to do this, when you say mainentry do you mean using dns or do you mean the first host in server.xml (currently I just have the default localhost confgured). Then how do I create an alias for the second address is 'alias' a tomcat thing or a dns thing ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then in your build file a target like this should do:

come from another page.

1. Where are these header values defined I've not beeen able to find a

See the HTTP protocol RFC itself for common headers like referrer.
Other servers and routers may add custom headers along the way. Your
app and other apps can also use custom headers if they wish.
2. It worked when coming from my pages but I then tried going to
another page (e.g www.sun.com) and then pasting in the url and it just
returned null. Does referer only apply when hyperlink from another
page ?
Some browsers, including IE, are known to have bugs regarding the
referrer header. Sometimes it's null or not included in the request at
all. So your app, if it uses the referrer header, must be tolerant of
these bugs.
What about a history.go(-1) alternative to the referrer header?

Re: Preventing users getting accessing to directory contents in Tomcat
Point taken regarding images. But is this the only way to protect jsp ? I have a directory structure as follows /jsp/feedback/start.jsp /jsp/feedback/finish.jsp I want them to be able to bookmark start.jsp and access it either through the interface or directly from the url. but I dont want them to access finish.jsp directly because it doesnt make any sense as it is is only shown after processing start.jsp. From what your saying I would have to either do /WEB-INF/feedback/start.jsp /WEB-INF/feedback/finish.jsp which would mean they couldnt bookmark anything or do /jsp/feedback/start.jsp /WEB-INF/feedback/finish.jsp which screws up my links and stuff, meaning quite alot of rework and stuff over the whole site. On a similar note, some of my jsps calls a servlet. In my web.xml it is defined and url mapped as follows servlet servlet-nameController/servlet-name servlet-classcom.myapp.Controller/servlet-class load-on-startup0/load-on-startup /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-nameController/servlet-name url-pattern/controller/url-pattern /servlet-mapping My jsp would then call form name=feedbackform2 method=post action=%=request.getContextPath()%/controller to call the servlet the trouble is the user can type directly into the url localhost:8080/myapp/controller and call the servlet ot of context how do I stop that ?

Re: How do default to get website to go straight to my webapp ?
Thanks for the quick prompt reply. Is this normal to do, it feels like I am messing up the standard config and would the end result be that the url would display as localhost/overview.jsp rather than localhost/testapp/overview.jsp Would it be better to replace ROOT app with a mini app. For example say I have two applications running on tomcat could I create a third app which simply had a webpage giving links to the start of the other two apps Shapira, Yoav wrote: You need to make your webapp reside at context path (the empty string, not null and especially not /) in the Tomcat configuration. That means you need to replace the ROOT webapp that ships with Tomcat with your application. To do so, remove webapps/ROOT, remove conf/Catalina/localhost/root.xml if it's present, and remove all contents of the work directory. Then add a testapp.xml file on conf/Catalina/localhost, containing a Context element like Context path= docBase=testapp / Also set autoDeploy=false in the Host declaration in your conf/server.xml file. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, ive done the section so that I can add an extra application at a later stage if I need to. You say in your post index.xml do you mean index.jsp or web.xml I've created a new index.jsp which provides the user with a hyperlink to testapp but I dont know if I can make the new page automatically go to testapp either through further mod of index.jsp or whether the web.xml can reference my testapp. Shapira, Yoav wrote: Would it be better to replace ROOT app with a mini app. For example say I have two applications running on tomcat could I create a third app which simply had a webpage giving links to the start of the other two apps That's also a fine option.

For all non JSTLers I added this to my page:

The easy way is to make start.jsp a GET and all the other pages POST.
When pages are bookmarked - they are asked for via GET requests. Code
you JSP to look for the request method. If the method is NOT POST,

For example, in JSTL (but not verified)

Use of Referer header
I have a WebPage which can be called from two different webpages, and I wanted it to have a back button. Originally I had the calling pages passing a parameter to tell the called page what called it. Then someone pointed out %=request.getHeader(REFERER)% to m. This works much better. But I have 2 questions: 1. Where are these header values defined I've not beeen able to find a good source. 2. It worked when coming from my pages but I then tried going to another page (e.g www.sun.com) and then pasting in the url and it just returned null. Does referer only apply when hyperlink from another page ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Preventing users getting accessing to directory contents in Tomcat
Under tomcat 4 my jsps are held in a subdiir called jsp which contains further subdirectories What do I put into web.xml to stop requests such as http//localhost:8080/myapp/jsp or http//localhost:8080/myapp/jsp/info listing the contents of the directory. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Deploying a war in TC4
Hi I was originally deploying an application in Tomcat 4 using the exploded directory structure. Ive now created a war and tried to deploy that instead. First attempt it didnt do anything I then changed docbase from appname to appname.war in server.xml and on starting tomcat it tried to deploy it. Unfortunately I thought the first thing it would do was unpack the WAR and then run it but it seems to use it as is and in my default servlet I have some code which opens a file (new File()...) this fails because the war hasnt been upacked yet so the file is still in the WAR rather than directly n the file system. If I unpack the war myself and change docbase back to appname things are ok. How can I get round this ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Deploying a war in TC4
Thanks I use a File() constructor because the same class is used in a standalone situation Ive checked my server.xml and it already seems to have unpacking set. !-- Define the default virtual host -- Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true should my docbase me appname or appname.war Shapira, Yoav wrote: Hi, How can I get round this ? Two ways: either configure the Host in server.xml to unpackWARs (which is the default I think even for Tomcat 4.x). Or write your app to the Servlet Spec, which means no File constructions except in the javax.servlet.context.tempdir directory.

Tomcat 4.1 not starting, how do I track error (database pooling)
Hi having written an application that ran fine on Tomcat 5 I am having to regress it to run on Tomcat 4.1 running on Windows. part of the deployment involves setting up database pooling. First of all I deployed my application war only and started Tomcat using catalina start this worked ok, but I then needed to configure database pooling to get it fully working. In Tomcat 5.0 I had a config file /contextname.xml /under CATLINA_HOME/conf/catalina/localhost which worked fine, under Tomcat 4.0 I have added the contents to server.xml. I then ran catalina.bat start this starts another window but then disappears immediately before I am able to trap the problem, there is nothing in the log file to indicate the problem. Could anybody please help with any of the following ? 1. How do I stop the window started my Catalina from disappearing so I can see what the problem is. 2. In Tomcat 4.0 can I have a config file for my application rather than adding it to server.xml 3. I am using the mysqllConnectector 3.15 driver does this work with Tomcat 4.0. 4. Are pooling connections configured the same in 4 as 5 or not below I have listed the contents of my xml file from Tomcat 5.

Re: Tomcat 4.1 not starting, how do I track error (database pooling)
Thanks very much all working, the problem was I had removed docbase paramter not hinking it was needed because the code was hosted directly under webapps. BTW username is correct in TC4. My context is privileged just because I copied it from somehwere else without knowing what it meant, no good reason. Shapira, Yoav wrote: Hi, 1. How do I stop the window started my Catalina from disappearing so I can see what the problem is. Use catalina.bat run instead of startup.bat (which calls catalina.bat start). 2. In Tomcat 4.0 can I have a config file for my application rather than adding it to server.xml No. 3. I am using the mysqllConnectector 3.15 driver does this work with Tomcat 4.0. Yes. 4. Are pooling connections configured the same in 4 as 5 or not below I have listed the contents of my xml file from Tomcat 5. Mostly the same, but some attribute names are different. Context path=/kijil displayname=kijil debug=0 privileged=true Why is your context privileged? parameter nameusername/name valuekijil/value /parameter Try changing name to user instead of username -- I believe this was a change made in DBCP.

Re: using the Standard jdk 1.4 logging with Tomcat 5
Spoke to someone else who had the same problem. As far as I can see this is a bug in Tomcat, it is unable to find the custom formatter unless anyone knows different Ill raise this as a bug. Paul Taylor wrote: Did you specify your own formatter in your properties file ? Ive changed my code from com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties.setLevelFromParametersFromPrefs(); System.getProperties().setProperty(java.util.logging.config.class, com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties); LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(); to com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties.setLevelFromParametersFromPrefs(); LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties.getPropertiesAsStream()); Now I dont get any errors and only messages for the LEVEL is set to the value I specify in my LogProperties class are displayed. However I also specify a Formatter to use for console output but Tomcat just seems to ignore it and uses its own default formatter.

Writing your own realm for Tomcat 4.0
Im trying to write my own realm for Tomcat 4 WebDav application. I have already written some JAAS Authenication modules which are used by our main application and support Database and LDAP authentication but I need think I need to use tomcat realm for Webdav to force the user authentication wndow to come up when trying to map a Webdav folder. None of the existing realms are suitable because our LDAP tree does not conform to tomcats requirements, and some of our users are authenticated using a database realm rather than an LDAP realm. I have written a new class that extends RealmBase and written an authenticate method but it never gets called can someone tell me what else I have to do to make it a valid Realm Class. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
