Security and Forward
Hi. I have the following behaviour in Tomcat 3.2b6 on Windows NT. I protect a page P using security-constraint in the deployment descriptor. So when I call this page, the browser asks me for a login/password. Now, I have a JSP page which isjsp:forward page "P". When I call the JSP page, I see the P page without giving any login/password. I think that this is a security hole. Does anyone have already see that behaviour? Is it a bug or is it ok? Best Regards, Carole Hébrard.

Is it possible to redirect to a custom error page when recieving an Error 500 from Tomcat? Eg. something equal to Apache's ErrorDocument directive. /Fred
RE: Execute JSP's in a different directory - sans-examples.
Hi Sterling, Basically, your description of the process to set up a new webapp below is correct. I suggest that you consider this process as having two parts: (a) setting up tomcat (b) setting up apache You can configure tomcat, then check that it is all correct by using tomcat's http port (default port = 8080). Once this works, then try setting up apache to pass on the relevant requests to tomcat. Setting up apache causes lots of people headaches, so I really recommend making sure it works with plain tomcat first. Tomcat 4.0 will apparently remove the need to configure apache; tomcat will be able to tell apache about what urls it wishes to handle. This is not the case for tomcat3.1/3.2 though, unfortunately.

H- I've been poking around the docs and archives for this list and from what I see there isn't a simple way to make this happen. Set up another directory that will execute JSP files without having to go through examples. (And from what I've seen this directory cannot be inside the httpd/htdocs directory either. True?)

[Kitching Simon] If you are happy to have servlets which are accessed via the url /web-app-name/servlet/servlet-class-name, and you don't need any special parameters to be passed to the servlets, then you can use the default mapping [you still need to tell apache that /web-app-name/servlet/... is to be handled by tomcat]. But if you want servlets to be executed by urls that don't have a particular prefix, or you want servlet init parameters, then yes you need a servlet entry in web.xml for each servlet. I really can't see how else it could be done...until we get that telepathic interface I've been waiting for. This can't be right. This is a lot of configuring just to pull up http://www.myserver.net/MYDIRECTORY and have it pull and executes JSP files. [Kitching Simon] No, if you just want to execute JSP files, it is quite simple. No WEB-INF directory is needed, no web.xml, etc. If you want *servlets* as well, then it gets a bit more complicated.

RE: strange Error 404
I would remove the original WebAppA's work (%TOMCAT_HOME%\work\yourWebAppA)directory to be sure you are not picking-up anything from there. Do this before you restart Tomcat after you have done your directory renames. --- Wolfgang Egger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Servus Wyn, first thanx for your answer. -Original Message- I'm sure the problem is with the URL used to access the servlet of WebAppB. I don't think so, because of the following behaviour: Our WebServerDirStructure looks like this /websites/WebAppA /websites/WebAppA/WEB-INF /websites/WebAppA/WEB-INF/classes ... /websites/WebAppB /websites/WebAppB/WEB-INF /websites/WebAppB/WEB-INF/classes ... as written in my first mail the whole site WebAppA is working as expected, the WebAppB only shows Error 404 If I remove /websites/WebAppA and rename /websites/WebAppB with /websites/WebAppA, the whole WebAppB is working (with the URR bla/WebAppA/fasel) Because of this I assume, that something in the configuration of tomcat doesn't like WebAppB. I have done a grep "WebAppA tomcat/conf/*" and a "grep WebAppB tomcat/conf/*". The result is, that all entries for WebAppA are the same as the entries for WebAppB. Near the same, because the string WebAppA is replaced by WebAppB in each entry. Are there any other locations apart from tomcat/conf, where I have to do some configuration respectively WebAppB.

RE: Tomcat 3.2-beta-6 or 4.0m3?
Hi Tomcat developers, I'd love to see some info on the release plans for these products too. I presume that those of you with "committer" status have some general long-term plans I understand that software development schedules (and esp. open-source projects) are difficult to estimate, but a rough guess would still be better than no information! I assume that 3.2 release will come well before 4.0 release, so that's one reason to stick with 3.2 instead of moving to 4.0 right now. Would I be right in guessing 3.2 release is expected sometime round december, and 4.0 release around march/april next year??? However, I am really puzzled by the existence of the 3.3 stream; surely 3.4 will come out *after* 4.0, in which case what's the point of it???

Variable lost reference
I've a servlet loaded on startup. It has a class viariable (static or not static) that I inizialize in the init() method. I give it an instance of a connection pool class. This variable is shared with jsp and servlets by appletContext.setAttribute and moreover i have a static metod getVariable() that return it. All work fine with jsp reloading after they have been changed, recompiled and reloaded by tomcat. But if i change another servlet on the web application, that use appletContext.getAttribute or static method getVariable(), when tomcat reload the modified servlet (different from connectionPool servlet) , evey call to appletContext.getAttribute or getVariable in any jsp or servlet of application return null. Anyone can help me ? Is it a Bug or an error in my servlets ? Thanks

[tomcat-user] Re: AW: Custom Error Document
Yes, I consider tomcat to be broken, in this regard. But I make it .jsp and it works fine. Also, if you have virtual hosts, this hangs (as opposed to a loop), so I just made an default context to one of the virtual hosts, so it would pick up the WEB-INF/web.xml... probably causes some other issues, but fixes this problem. This means I have apache have ErrorDocument 500 and 404 that are .html not jsp, since apache handles recursive errors with a builtin string, so I have two copyies of my 404 html page... Also, as a note, I strongly recommend against ajp13 as I've run into issues. Will post more when I'm on the other side of the launch.

Re: Security and Forward
Carole HEBRARD wrote: Hi. I have the following behaviour in Tomcat 3.2b6 on Windows NT. I protect a page P using security-constraint in the deployment descriptor. So when I call this page, the browser asks me for a login/password. Now, I have a JSP page which isjsp:forward page "P". When I call the JSP page, I see the P page without giving any login/password. I think that this is a security hole. Does anyone have already see that behaviour? Is it a bug or is it ok? This was recently clarified in discussions for servlet 2.3. Security constraints apply only on the initial request URI, not on the URIs used for request dispatchers. The assumption is that your application knows whether or not the forwarded-to page is acceptable, or it would not have done the forward in the first place. In 2.3, the same rule applies to filters -- they are only based on the original request URI. Best Regards, Carole Hébrard. Craig McClanahan
Re: Execute JSP's in a different directory - sans-examples.
H- Thank you for the clarity. Being a newbie, still not sure how Tomcat does what it does. So the confirmation on key points is very helpful. I'll go through the process and hopefully everything will work out alright. If not I'm sure the mailing list will be hearing my cries of pain and anguish soon enough. Thanks. -Sterling PS(BTW - Tomcat does work with Apache right now. The examples come up and the servlets work fine. And that crazy red page for test pops up also. Although not really sure what it's testing. 8^) Kitching Simon wrote: Hi Sterling, Basically, your description of the process to set up a new webapp below is correct. I suggest that you consider this process as having two parts: (a) setting up tomcat (b) setting up apache You can configure tomcat, then check that it is all correct by using tomcat's http port (default port = 8080). Once this works, then try setting up apache to pass on the relevant requests to tomcat. Setting up apache causes lots of people headaches, so I really recommend making sure it works with plain tomcat first. Tomcat 4.0 will apparently remove the need to configure apache; tomcat will be able to tell apache about what urls it wishes to handle. This is not the case for tomcat3.1/3.2 though, unfortunately.

H- I've been poking around the docs and archives for this list and from what I see there isn't a simple way to make this happen. Set up another directory that will execute JSP files without having to go through examples. (And from what I've seen this directory cannot be inside the httpd/htdocs directory either. True?) For example: Add to tomcat-apache.conf file: ApJServMount /MYDIRECTORY ajpv12://127.0.0.1:8007 Create a directory inside /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/MYDIRECTORY [Kitching Simon] Well, you can put your document root anywhere. If it is under webapps, then you don't need to tweak the server.xml file manually, but you do have to live with the /MYDIRECTORY prefix for each url. The alternative is to edit $TOMCAT_HOME/ server.xml, and define a context, with docRoot set to any directory you want. Tomcat3.2 also comes with an admin utility to define new contexts via a web page, but I haven't tried this myself... Create all the special JSP files and dirs in that directory META-INF, WEB-INF, images, jsp, servlets. [Kitching Simon] Well, yeah. If you want to serve files to a browser, you need to put the pages somewhere... Now modify the web.xml file inside WEB-INF to include every servlet that I'm going to use. When I create another servlet I must re-edit this file to include that servlet than reload Tomcat, Restart Apache. [Kitching Simon] If you are happy to have servlets which are accessed via the url /web-app-name/servlet/servlet-class-name, and you don't need any special parameters to be passed to the servlets, then you can use the default mapping [you still need to tell apache that /web-app-name/servlet/... is to be handled by tomcat]. But if you want servlets to be executed by urls that don't have a particular prefix, or you want servlet init parameters, then yes you need a servlet entry in web.xml for each servlet. I really can't see how else it could be done...until we get that telepathic interface I've been waiting for. This can't be right. This is a lot of configuring just to pull up http://www.myserver.net/MYDIRECTORY and have it pull and executes JSP files. [Kitching Simon] No, if you just want to execute JSP files, it is quite simple. No WEB-INF directory is needed, no web.xml, etc. If you want *servlets* as well, then it gets a bit more complicated. I suggest that it is no more complicated than ASP+COM, or PHP. Is this the only way (did I even get it right?) or am I reading the wrong information?

[tomcat-user] RE: Tomcat 3.2-beta-6 or 4.0m3?
Yes, a page modeled after: http://us1.samba.org/samba/development.html would indeed kick ass.. I think the tomcat cvs is too intimidating... There should be a document explaining the tags... Anycase, my theory is that 3.3 (note that apache doesn't follow the even version number scheme of the linux kernel) will be the real sucessor to jserv.. 3.1 is sun re (ie not for production use). 3.2 is beggining to bring it back, but there are many issues, and 3.3 will have everything in good form again. 4.0 is next gen, which will take some time for people to adapt to. It supports the next generation of specifications.. my thoughts.. not gospel, but I would love for tomcat-dev to straighten things out.. Hopefully politics isn't in play.

RE: Apache/Tomcat Setup on Win2000 Professional
I run Tomcat 3.1 Final on win2k at work. I can say with certainty that it works. If I were you, I would not run tomcat in a directory that has spaces in its pathname. While this can work, You always have to be so damn careful with your quoting that I find it is not worth the effort. Another piece of free advice (and we know what they say about free advice,) is to run tomcat as a service. There is an excellent howto for achieving this in the docs directory. If you run tomcat as a service, then all your environment setup for tomcat is explicitly set in the wrapper.properties file - so you can stuff up your classpath and system path as much as you like without breaking tomcat. Good luck - post back some more info on your configuration if you still have trouble.

Helper script
Greetings,
I wrote a script to make it easy for me to control tomcats
on my virtual hosts. It works well for me so I thought I'd
share it, just in case someone else might find it useful.
It provides easy start/stop/restart control over one or
all of the servers.
I call it 'tomcat', and store it in /bin
It uses the startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts with the -f
parameter to specify what server.xml file to use with each
virtual domain. Check the config section at the top to
set up variables for your installation.
This is suitable for calling from an init script to
control all the tomcat servers by using the 'all' parameter.
Hope someone else finds it useful!

My personal goals for Tomcat 4.0 include: - Feature-complete implementation of the servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 "Proposed Final Draft" specifications that were recently published at java.sun.com (this will be accomplished with a Milestone 4 release that will be generated tomorrow night if all goes well). - Attention shifting towards bug fixing and performance tuning, with the goal of a production-quality implementation by Christmas time or so. The more people that help debug and tune it, the shorter this time frame can be. - Addition of web connectors (so you can run 4.0 behind a web server like you can with 3.2), JNDI environment support, and other new features as contributed by volunteers working on 4.0. So, which version should you use? - If you're readying a production deployment, and do not need servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 features, definitely stick with the most recent release of 3.2. It will be more stable and performant at the moment (although early signs are that 4.0 will mature very nicely in these directions :-). - If you've got some time to help debug and tune, and/or you need the new 2.3/1.2 features (like filters, wrapped RequestDIspatcher arguments, XML syntax for JSP pages, custom tag validators, .) then grab the latest milestone of Tomcat 4.0 and help us make it better. FYI: Tomcat 4.0 will be the web component of the J2EE 1.3 reference implementation, when it is released. However, I am really puzzled by the existence of the 3.3 stream; surely 3.4 will come out *after* 4.0, in which case what's the point of it??? The "3.3" code stream was some enhancement work (based on the 3.2 code base) that started about the time that the first 3.2 beta was released, and continues to receive some attention even though the TOMCAT-DEV community voted to switch to the 4.0 code base for the next major release of Tomcat. While it continues to receive attention from a few developers, I only plan to mine some of the excellent low-level performance tuning tricks that have been implemented there. Although this code is there for anyone who wants to play with it (this is open source, after all :-), the next major release of Tomcat after 3.2 will be 4.0, based on the code that is in the "jakarta-tomcat-4.0" CVS repository.

Given the number of times I have seen questions posted (or posed to me) about development tools for servlets and JSP pages, I personally see no problem with short, one-time announcements of tools that might be of general interest like this.

Re: uninitialized instance variables in servlet
Have you checked your servlet logs to see if the UnavailableException errors
actually are being thrown? You don't say what version of Tomcat you are using,
but (if I remember correctly) version 3.1 did not actually honor
UnavailableExceptions thrown from init().

In the init() method of my Servlet class, I populate 2 String instance
variables that are later used in the doPost() method. The String values are
populated by calling .getInitParameter() on the ServletConfig instance
passed into init(). I verify that the String returned from
.getInitParameter() != null inside init().
After tomcat starts, I start a client program that generates HTTP requests
aimed at the servlet. More often than not, these requests fail with 500
Server Error as the response. For each failed request, in
$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/tomcat.log there is a
NullPointerException and a stack trace, and the stack trace points me to a
line in my servlet where I invoke a method on the String instance variables
that should have been initialized in init().
This is *NOT* a configuration file issue. I can say this because in the
same webapp, I have 2 servlets that each have the same servlet-class element
in web.xml. The first servlet will generate failures (sometimes) but the
second servlet (which is the same class, but a different instance) will
succeed. The only thing different between the two instances are the
init-param values in web.xml. I also swap which servlet I invoke first and
it's the first servlet invoked that fails.
I've tried this using both Apache+mod_jk over Ajp13, and invoking the
servlet directly through Tomcat's HTTP adapter.
Doesn't the servlet spec say that no thread shall enter Servlet.service()
until Servlet.init() has successfully completed? If that's true, how can my
instance variables be null?
The servlet looks like this:
public class S extends HttpServlet {
private String n = null;
private String v = null;
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ... {
super.init(config);
n = config.getInitParameter("n");
v = config.getInitParameter("v");
if (n == null) throw new UnavailableException();
if (v == null) throw new UnavailableException();
// snip
}
public void doPost(...) throws ... {
// this.n and this.v are used in here
}
}
Re: XML, DTD, Tomcat
Alex Tang wrote: Hi folks. I've got a servlet (actually a couple) that are doing some XML parsing (Mainly SAX, some DOM). The only problem I seem to be having is that when if I have a XML file that looks like this: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? !DOCTYPE taglist SYSTEM "taglist.dtd" What an XML parser does with this is really a question for your parser provider -- it's not really a Tomcat issue. I would imagine that it is being resolved relative to the current working directory where you started Tomcat. Tomcat looks for the DTD file in the TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory. the XML and DTD files are in my WEB-INF/classes part of my class path. From what I understand of XML, using the !DOCTYPE ... SYSTEM "file.dtd" where the dtd file is given as a URI with no path, the parser should look for the DTD file in the same directory as the XML file. It's probably something stupid on my part. I'm creating the InputSource using an input stream which I instantiate using "getResourceAsStream()", (which is probably where I'm going wrong). InputStream ist = FormattedTextWidgetStub.class.getResourceAsStream ( ATTR_TAGFILE ); InputSource iso = new InputSource ( ist ); parser.parse ( iso ); Is there a better way to get the InputSource? or is there any other way i can get tomcat to look for my DTD file in the same directory as my XML file (considering that I must keep my XML and DTD files in my classpath (under the WEB-INF/classes directory somewhere)? While this is an appropriate way to get resources in a web application, note that doing so gives the parser no clue where the input stream is coming from. You might try getting a File reference to the input file, and passing that to your parse method instead. Alternatively, there is a mechanism in most parsers to register a separate input source for a DTD (keyed by the public identifier). Tomcat uses this approach, for example, to register its local copies of the DTD for web.xml files, so that it doesn't need to go across the network every time. thanks very much. ...alex...

Re: JSPs anywhere
Hi, Joe, You may have any directory structure for your HTML pages as long as you comply with a minimum set of requirements: - each application should be declared (as a "context") in the server.xml file of Tomcat. The organization of that diectory is up to you, with the exception of the directory WEB-INF, where you must locate the classes and/or jar files that you want to have in the "private" classpath of your application. - You can define your root application using something like this in your server.xml file: !-- your Environment -- Context path="" docBase="/apache/root/directory" debug="0" reloadable="true" /Context That should allow you to run JSP "anywhere" in your previous apache directory structure. I would suggest, anyway, you consider the logical organization suggested in the documentation.

Re: socket exception errors on startup
It may be that a) you have another process that is using port 8080, or b) you already have an instance of tomcat running that is using that port.

Q: apache isn't forwarding to tomcat
Please respond to my email address since I'm not (yet) subscribed to the mailing list. Hi all, I can't get apache to forward jsp pages to tomcat. I'm quite familiar (as a user) with tomcat so I've tried troubleshooting it but to no avail. I'm using: OS: Linux RedHat 6.2 apache 1.3.12 tomcat 3.1 The procedure to attach tomcat to apache is simple. 1. install the right mod_jserv.so 2. Include the tomcat.conf file in the httpd.conf file. http://localhost/ works great as apache http://localhost:8080/ works great as tomcat but http://localhost/my.jsp doesn't!!! (my.jsp resides in webapps/ROOT of tomcat). I've exhausted all links at www.apache.org. Please let me know what other things might have gone wrong. Thank you Mohammed Bustany [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: CLASSPATH and JARs
I believe the 'correct' place to put jars is in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the context. I run tomcat 3.2beta6 on jdk1.3 and can say that it behaves correctly on redhat 6.2 and win NT and win98. Note that WEB-INF must be capital letters on unix/linux platforms, it doesn't matter on win32.

when using the log method from SessionContext(), the written output looks

Context log path="" : here goes the log message string
What is that "Context log path" thing? When I'm using log("...") the context

What is the meaning of the path and how can I set it?

Trouble installng Tomcat on (Debian) Linux
I installed tomcat on my Debian Linux system from Apache runs fine, but I have tomcat problems. 1) How do I test it with their examples? There is a webapps/examples.war; how do I invoke it? 2) Do I have to manually start it (per the Install how to run instructions?), or shouldn't it be automatically started as needed by Apache, like Jserv. There is a /etc/init.d/tomcat, so why manually start? -- I want to run with Apache. 3) I tried to look at examples.war, jar -vft examples.jar, but it fails (see below), yet the startup (more below) seems to have successfully loaded them? omega:/usr/share/java/webapps# jar vft examples.war java.io.IOException: CRC of 0 is not valid in a DATA header at java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace(Throwable.java:native) at java.lang.Throwable.init(Throwable.java:38) at java.lang.Exception.init(Exception.java:24) at java.io.IOException.init(IOException.java:25) at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.closeEntry(ZipInputStream.java:137) at kaffe.tools.jar.Jar.listFilesInJar(Jar.java:605) at kaffe.tools.jar.Jar.processJar(Jar.java:402) at kaffe.tools.jar.Jar.start(Jar.java:60) at kaffe.tools.jar.Jar.main(Jar.java:39) 4) I went into /usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat and ran ./tomcat.sh run, but got lots of errors (see below) which I didn't get the gist of.
